Well,as far as Capcom's concerned,DS is dead. Half of everyone on the team left for other companies,some just left altogether. So,a new DS for now is unlikely. *sighs*
But I'm all for a new one! More Talbain is necessary.
Rose and Tessa would make excellent additions to the series.
As for new characters,I'd like to see that "evil" version of Talbain with his own storyline,some Irish gargolye(as a boss,nothing too big),a French exorcist(summons up all kinds of things of the night for his super,she should be a noblewoman of some sort),and a English priest(very similar to Elias,except his hair would be brown and shorter,similar to Eagle's hairstyle except non-blonde,and he'd have a mustache and bo staff)

Pretty good ideas there, except for the Talbain one (fanboy, fanboy...  ). I specially like the gargoyle.
Also, I'd like to see an European medieval dragon as the final boss. Not as big as Apocalypse in XMvSF, but something like the dragon in Warzard, with a pretty good zoom. The technology is already available.
Also, a VERY demonish Gouki would be cool, as well as Tabasa and Rose (Let her be more "mystic").
Of course, in 2D, hi-res and very good animation.
And "original" Morrigan should be a secret character. That sprite can't die.

Thanks Time Mage. Yep,I'm such a fanboy. *LOL* :p
And as for Variable's ideas,very good ideas. The Minotaur should be from Greece,of course,and looks similar to Leo's appereance from Warzard.

...Leo is half lion...(hence his name)
And I'm glad they don't make sequels of Savior after all, if it was just to add generic well known monsters. What was great with everyone they added after Leilei is that they weren't predictable. A ghost-chinese doll, a half demon ambiguously gay exorcist, then the four wonders of Savior... It was a time when Capcom knew that if you can't top a game, you don't make a sequel. I haven't seen in any of their games after that anyone better than Jedah or Buletta. (And Karuma Mei wouldn't fit well in that universe...)
Most of all, a sequel would probably have Dante as a guest. It's a good thing they don't blow up the game like this.
In my opinion GG has become the new Vampire Savior.
GG will never ever be as great as Vampire Savior,IMO.
And I think I'm one of the few who never liked the GG series. I have GGX2,and I got bored of that in like 3 days. Anyone wanna buy it from me? :p
I-No's the only character from there I dig.

For my 200th post, I shall ask you guys about the DarkStalkers series. I don't think they're one of Capcom's list of "moneymaking" games, but with a solid fanbase, I don't think they can go wrong with a good DS game now. Or can they?
As much as I'd love to see another DS game, I just don't see it happening. Apart from the team disintegrating (and Capcom pretty much saying "up yours" to the fighting game community), I just have this feeling that Capcom would ruin it... if nothing else, they'd have a incredibly tough act to follow after the great new characters from Savior.
So... if forced to choose, I'd want a new 2D game with new sprites, but otherwise, I'd say leave the series dead and let us enjoy what we have.

Just to play devil advocate cross over characters like Guy, Sodom, Cody, Rolento, Ryu (DOA) and Yoshimitsu all worked pretty well.
according to Capcom's offical cannon Final Fight and Street Fighter have always been the same universe (while Darkstalkers, Rival Schools*, War Zards, etc. have never crossed-over with them in a real game) so that's not really the same, unless you consider Super Mario Brothers 2 'the cross-over event of the century' because Toad, Luigi, and Peach were playable in addition to Mario.
DoA and Ninja Gaiden could be the same universe as well, but even if it's not Hayabusa has always been over shadowed by gigantic bouncy breast in DoA were as Akuma in Darkstalkers would overshadow everyone else (as scrubs aren't going to say "hey Akuma... I'll pick Sasquatch!" they're going to pick Akuma scrub the place down and ruin it for the world!)
Well Yoshimitisu does work and isn't the same Universe... but strangely Heihachi doesn't. That just proves anyone with a sword can cross-over with the Soul series (ex: Link is the most popular of the 3 guest) You could put flipping Samurai Jack in the game and it would be cool.... and with that logic, why not just transplant the whole WarZard cast? They're all as odd as Tessa and that T-Rex beasty would way more fun to fight Jedah with!(and techincally Akuma is just a well trained Human, nothing supernatural about him with if he could work anyone in WarZards [or Red Earth if I'm not supposed to call it WarZards] could work not just the witch)
quote How could I forget Sodom??
*You also forgot to mention Sakura being in Rival Schools, which also work and was a true cross-over. But she was also just one character, it that too would have been insane if Karin, Yun, Yang, Makato, Juni, and Juli entered the fray along with her.
But still, if they're going to drop other characters in Darkstalkers they might as well just use the entire Cast of DS3, Red Earth, Akuma, Rose, whoever else counts as a monster and call it "Capcom Fighting All-Stars: We Scare Because We Care" rather then make DS a cross-over series.

Well, I have to say that some things just have to end. Street Fighter 2 was bound to end after SSF2X. I don't think SF3 will go beyond Third Strike. And personally, I think SF Alpha should have ended with SFA2 (but then, we wouldnt have Mika, would we?). What I'm saying is that Darkstalkers, as it is, should be put to rest and never reawakened. For some reason, I am not too fond of Vampire Savior. I thought Vampire Hunter was better.
However, if you all really want Darkstalkers to come back, maybe it can come back revised. Think about how SF3 was revised from SF2 in terms of styles and the cast(only 4 came back from SSF2X!). If a new DS game is made, then it should probably have an all new cast (same monsters, different characters, get it?). Maybe there can be a female werewolf, an Incubus, a female vampire, etc.

I was thinking more along the line of "non-DS characters as a console only unlockable bonus" rather than "integral plot character" thing. But oh well.
About Guilty Gear, though, I'm curious how or why anyone would hate it. Gameplay is fun, probably not too competitive, but good casual fun. Their character designs are a mixed bag, but I like them overall. What do you guys not like about it?
If I'm expecting a new DS Game, I'm hoping the difference between it and Jedah's Damnation would be like SFIII to SF2. The way I saw it, the three titles were more analogous to SF II:NG, Second Impact, and Third Strike.
(Akuma can fit! Just make him more demonic, and make him not play like a shoto! =P)
