Oh I meant how the Marvel Vs. Capcom PS1 version just didn't even have the tag out/in options, and I believe there were other drawbacks(don't remember). Never played the ones you mentioned on Ps1. Sounds like they probably should have gone the same route and just eliminated the tag in/out aspect... Better then the game being broken due to the tag out times. It basically just made it more like KOF, it took away a lot of the strategy that was supposed to be in the game though.
Most of the my time playing fighting games was in the arcade and on dreamcast. I didn't even learn about that sega saturn stuff until like 2008 lol. At that point it didn't really matter. PS1 had some good fighting game ports though, like SF alpha's. I always thought the Darkstalkers 3 port for PS1 was good too... What did you think was bad about it?
Loading time, missing animation frames, lower quality sound, and censorship. Blood looks like sweat. It's silly to censor the blood. It's not like it has fatality like MK.
I was wrong about the blood being white. There is no blood in the PS1 version. Mistake it for Mortal Kombat on the SNES where the blood is white.

Darkstalkers 3 never really took off in the States, but it was supposedly fairly popular in Japan. Two ports of the game appeared on the PlayStation and Saturn consoles. The Saturn version was virtually identical to its arcade counterpart, and uses the 4MB RAM cart to completely eliminate load times. Unfortunately, since this was only released in Japan, most of us probably had to settle for Darkstalkers 3 on the PlayStation. While inferior to the Saturn version, it is surprisingly decent, a relief after the abysmal PlayStation port of X-Men Vs. Street Fighter. Though there are a ton of missing animations and load times, it's still a close approximation to the original. Both versions include the three characters cut from the arcade game (Donovan, Phobos and Pyron). The PlayStation version also has a slew of extra options to make up for the inferior port quality, such as an art gallery, a character edit mode, the ability to turn on full Savior 2 or Hunter 2 modes, and options to change combo cancels and double jump options. Unfortunately, the minor bits of blood have been completely removed from the American version.
