History ComicBook / StreetFighterVsDarkstalkers

** One of the [[http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/275/916/5a6.jpg promotional covers]] shows the two casts side by side referencing the ''Marvel Vs. DC'' crossover event.

** At the end of the series, [[spoiler:Morrigan fuses with Lilith and is crowned Queen of the Makai and Felicia becomes a nun in the convent where she was raised, just like their respective endings in ''Vampire Savior'']].

** Laura Matsuda notices that Rikuo is [[PhraseCatcher curiously attractive for a fish man]].

* WhiteMagicianGirl: Except for [[HeroesFightBarehanded fighting barehanded]], Elena could almost certainly qualify for this trope due to her HealingHands, [[WomanInWhite wearing white]], having MysticalWhiteHair and her kind and gentle personality.

** The souls of the humans consumed by Morrigan and Lilith are kept inside their bodies, alive and aware. Downplayed giving that unlike Bishamon, they kept the souls in a state of eternal bliss rather than suffering, but are still trapped inside their bodies with no way to escape.

** DarkIsEvil: By contrast, Jedah is a Darkstalker and a evil ManipulativeBastard who wants to assimilate both the human and demon world with a demonic fetus feeded with the souls of both Darkstalkers and humans. [[AdaptationalVillainy Morrigan, Lilith]], Lord Raptor and Bishamon count as well.

* KarmaHoudini: Morrigan and Lilith. Neither face punishment for all the innocent people they've tricked and killed before and during the events of the comic. Lilith in particular, unlike her canon counterpart, was completely aware about Jedah's plan all along, but still helped him anyway (originally, she only followed him cause he tricked her).
** Gill as well. Other than losing his powers, he gets resurrected and is alive and fine by the end of the story.

* CurbStompBattle: It's revealed that Belial Aensland whooped the floor with Jedah before exiling him to the Majigen.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Both Morrigan and Lilith are portrayed as sadistic and malevolent succubus, just like the previous ''Darkstalkers'' comics.

* KarmaHoudini: Morrigan and Lilith. Neither face punishment for all the innocent people they've tricked and killed before and during the events of the comic. Lilith in particular, unlike her canon counterpart, was completely aware about Jedah's plan all along, but still helped him anyway (she only served cause he tricked her in the games) .

* AdaptationalVillainy: Bishamon is portrayed as an evil ghost unlike in the video games, though this is a carry over from his characterization from the previous ''Darkstalkers'' comics.

* DayInTheLimelight: This crossover serves as one to Chun-Li and both Morrigan and Lilith

* HeelFaceTurn: Lilith starts out as Jedah's [[TheDragon most useful servant]], but she pretty much ditches him when meeting Morrigan and wishing to [[FusionDance merge with her so they can become whole once again]].
* HeroicSacrifice:

** The special cover for issue #5 features Balrog and Demitri homaging the cover of the ''Comicbook/{{Superman}} vs. UsefulNotes/MuhammadAli'' one-shot from The Seventies.

* GodzillaThreshold: [[spoiler:Chun-li is forced to use the Satsui no Hadou despite its corrupting influence as warned by Sagat. Considering they are all trapped in a demonic realm surrounded by hostile monsters everywhere and fighting against an immortal samurai ghost like Bishamon, she notes things are bad enough for her to rely on such technique. Turns out it wasn't powerful enough to destroy him either]].

** The normally playful and mischievous Morrigan becomes completely serious when she discovers Jedah is alive and what he plans

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:On the upside, Jedah's plot is foiled, Lilith and Morrigan merge as one and all people trapped in the Majingen returns to their homes - including Victor, who presumably perished when fighting Bishamon and his phantoms. On the down side, Gill is brought back to life albeit depowered and Ken still has his "Violent" side in him, which awakens when he reunites with Ryu, prompting a fight between the two friends]].

* Adaptational Heroism: Morrigan never showed any real concern for her kingdom safety and only goes to fights Jedah in order to get fun, however in this comic she fights Jedah and Gill openly to save Makai and prove to be a worthy queen, something she never did in canon since she never really wanted to be a queen to begin with and it was never confirmed that she accepted said role even after Jedah's defeat and death.

** Akuma could also counts since he is more a grey character than a complete monster and unlike Morrigan or Jedah, he has his own honor code and is definitely a more sympathic character than them.

Morrigan has never killed a human being in the games nor she even has tried but here she spend almost all the time doing it since she loves to eat human souls and shows absolutely no remorse for what she is done.
Lilith only helped Jedah in Darkstalkers due to being too innocent and not being aware of his plans, in fact, she was like Morrigan incredible friendly and never harm an innocent human but here she mercyless kills several innocents people and tries to kill some of the heroes in addition to be perfectly aware of Jadah?s ambitions. She only agrees to help Morrigan when she promises to become one with her not because she understands what he is doing is wrong.

** It happens again on Issue #6 when [[spoiler:Chun-li and her friends confront Morrigan, Lilith, Akuma and Donovan when they are face to face to Jedah, but the two groups fight among each other since 1) A previous duel happened between Chun-li and Morrigan 2) Lilith was responsible for locking everyone there and 3) Akuma is an enemy to most Street Fighters]].

* ManipulativeBastard: Jedah Dohma. [[spoiler:He tricks Gill into being his partner, when he reality he plans to use him as fuel for his plans, and then sets up several fights between the Street Fighters and the Darkstalkers to power up his fetus]].

* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: [[spoiler:Not that the good guys weren't trying, but its Gill and Akuma the ones that deliver the killing blow to Jedah, while Gill himself is ironically defeated when his own cult resurrects him teleporting him out of the Majigen]].

** In Issue #3, Lord Raptor summons his zombie minions to fight the protagonists and they start dancing like Creator/MichaelJackson and tells that his zombies are "[[Music/{{Thriller}} trilled]] to meet and eat them".

** In issue 0, the "aliens" meme from ''Series/AncientAliens'' is referenced during a conversation regarding ClarkesThirdLaw.
