Composers: Yoshinori Sasaki, Jun Funahashi, Yukie Morimoto, Hidenori Maezawa Other Names: - Dracula's third phase is a lot easier here than on the NES because the lasers are smaller, but even then it's not a cake walk if you don't have much health left from the first two phases. Fun fact about Dracula's sprite: the tip of it's left wing has a bugged tile (making it seem tilted to the front); th...

    Might also just be the Tracks name but am i the only one who, especially with the Dracula x chronicles version associate this track with Frankenstein?

    Fun fact: according to the japanese manual, this giant bird thing isn't actually dracula but rather the evil god he resurrected to use his powers. He also made two cameo appearances in hod and cod respectively.

    Always liked this version But only commenting because I want to say the original Sypha design used here is still by far the best one. Also the only one that gets across that she's facing being a guy whilst also being reserved and standoffish at that point in time. Also always liked CV3 Trevor, both the design referenced here and the manual/jp box art design. In fact they're still my favourite trevor designs even though unlike Sypha his later redesigns do tend to be pretty cool themselves. (Netflix Sypha is good too but doesn't suit the original character descriptions so much and I still prefer the original)

    Possible new entry to the list: Vampire Survivor's DLC : Ode to Castlevania (link to VS's official "Bloody Tears" OST) ua-cam.com/video/tHT_UvgjQFs/v-deo.html I think it counts since Konami gave Poncle (Vampire Survivor's developer) the OK to use their characters, music, art, everything this expansion.

    • @oofman1999
      @oofman1999 День тому

      correct me if i'm wrong but is this the only remix in the series to not be called vampire killer ? (excluding songs that only contain parts of vampire killer and not full on remixes)

    • @a.rheser8181
      @a.rheser8181 4 години тому

      ⁠@@oofman1999 I think so, yes. There is admiration of the clan, the ending for Lament of innocence and some versions of symphony, but like you said, it contains parts of vampire killer, not the whole song. Isn’t there a weird remix in the Saturn version of symphony?

    The JP soundtrack is so much better than the USA/EU one, and this is one of the best ways to compare the two versions, the other ones IMO are ''Beginning'', ''Anxiety'' and ''Overture''

  • @sl3dz214
    @sl3dz214 6 днів тому

    So fun fact for this track is: This track uses saw for melody but only for intro (the funniest thing is that it using 3 channels for echo, 2 channels from 2A03 and 1 channel from VRC6)

  • @sl3dz214
    @sl3dz214 6 днів тому

    Fun fact: Channel 1 of VRC6 is playing echo for channel 2 But for the intro it's playing countermelody And it's the only one track in game that use VRC6 channel for melody and for echo (every other track use this channel only for echo or only for melody)

  • @sl3dz214
