Also I suddenly imagined if the Darkstalkers series had continued into the modern era, and followed the trend of fighting games with ridiculously intricate storylines. By now there'd be like 50 or more characters across the whole series -- at least fifty goddamn classic horror monsters which Capcom managed to create their own copyrighted versions of. This whole overwrought political struggle between Morrigan, Demitri, Jedah, and probably Ozom. Oboro Bishamon eventually completely takes the place of the original. Donovan has a subplot of with Anita growing up and she becomes her own playable character, but also Dee exists as an AU thing maybe? Lilith doesn't exist in the plot of Vampire Savior Xrd, but due to fan outcry, she gets added as a DLC character and the story then contrives a reason for her to exist separately from Morrigan in the next game. The latest DLC for Darkstalkers Strive has "Queen Morrigan", who has Lilith as a Stand sort of thing, and Lilith takes the place of Morrigan's copy in Queen Morrigan's version of Darkness Illusion
