Watching this progression over the last few sessions has been incredible. Every stream could have been the one, and like 3WRs in sessions in a row. Just a real joy to watch a runner at the absolute top of his game. Buttery smooth movement, absolutely casually walking the chat through the run in a WR. So good. There's a reason you're the champ.
I sadly was working when it happened and didn't get out of work till you wrapped up the stream, but I still felt the joy when I showed up shortly before you ended stream.
I’m very late in finding your channel, but as a diehard SotN & Castlevania fan this was absolutely excellent to watch amazing job! Without a doubt the best SotN speed run I’ve seen, your execution with Alucard is inspiring.
It's really cool seeing the way your channel has changed as I dive back into these older video. I'm excited for see your channel grow more and more DB. Thank you for making something incredible.
Bro i am so lucky UA-cam recommended me this. Amazing run, even tho i cant speedrun myself, i love the castlevania games and you my friend have a great personality, great commenting style and seem like a really relaxed person in general, have my like and subscription :)
Been watching your YT contents since you showed up on GDQ few years back. Really enjoyed your SOTN Randomizer contents along with speedrun grinds. Congratulations!
Congrats man, the grind finally paid off 💪💪. And your statement at the start is absolutely true, after watching most of your videos a tips, I started speedrunning the game myself and went from beating it in 2 hours to finishing it under 30 minutes and I had a lot of fun grinding for that. Thank you for being an inspiration
I actually JUST beat this game today. The book skip, crazy under the ground thing, and insane bat speed just blew my mind. Wonderful job. Truly amazing.
I've been subbed but admit I'm not someone that watches your stuff on a consistent basis, UA-cam randomly suggested this to me this morning. I'm very happy for you man. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is the greatest video game of all time for me. The time it came out was an amazing time to be fifteen years old(I'm 40). We had so many great games releasing during this time as well like Tekken 3, FFVII, Metal Gear Solid, etc. I've played through this game several times over the years, always getting above 200% and doing it the casual legit way. I've seen some things you did here that were godlike and I didn't even think were possible. That is the thing with speedruns and old games. People are always finding new ways to squeeze just a little bit more from their favorite games, and find secrets and glitches together. We can call those miserable little piles of secrets I guess(I couldn't resist lol) Congratulations again to you.
Holy heck. Watched the Muramasarun but missed the WR. Stoked for you, DB. And its insane. Even with bat getting stuck in the floor and that double exiting at Medusa, it was still Mathew. Gz. Now we hope for ultimate glory. Summoning Salt.
Lol @5:20 when he declares he's changed his mind about the stream and this is going to be the WR. Just complete control of the game. DB says jump and SotN asks 'how high?'
Congrats DB. Hard work pays off. You deserve it. You and your tournament participants are the reason I play randomizer and you teach me good stuff on your content even though this game is 2 decades old!
Been following for a bit now and couldn’t believe the amount of control you got with this game. It’s astonishing. Congratulations on the time you’ve been battling for so long.
Congratulations This is amazing. I know the feeling. I used to run this game at 200.6% 20 years ago and I didn't even know the term speedrun existed. It was more fun than running Super Metroid or Resident Evil (1/2/3) because a friend competed with me.
congratulations man I have been a subscriber since 2020.that is quite the achievement I never thought that perfection run could even be broken but you prove me wrong
I knew you would be the one to get it. Way to go. As for the speed running, I have book jump in my casual play. As well as library glitch. I just have problems with the back dashes, wing smashes, and the soul steals. The sad part is that I used to cheese the heck out of the game and soul steal everything to win. I am not a fan of the clips but I am working on randomizer and considering running all relics or all bosses.
Great job as always. I can see it. Anyone who can't is blind witch would make sppedruns infinately more difficult. Next time Beans steps on the print button and gets a snapshot of the three and the end. You are the wind Dude:)
DB I've been watching you do so many runs the past couple of months, some live most on here, and I am so happy for you to finally conquer this beast. Also totally going to sub to your patreon.
this is one of my all time favorite games. but this is the first speedrun I've ever seen of it and I have no idea what just happened, from the outside that just looked so incredibly stressful and random. I feel like me and the fairy were on the same page, flappin her wings just desperately trying to keep up with this madman.
I told you so! DB, hope you have grown during the process. Glad to also hear that you just want to beat yourself. And you did. Not sure if you want to improve, but you are already beating on a dead horse. So relax, eat something good and drink something good!
If people wanna know what the song is that runs all the time in the background in this video it is the Ryu ga Gotoku ZERO - FRIDAY NIGHT OST ua-cam.com/video/3UnK5rw_6hM/v-deo.html
congrats on world record it's awesome to see you finally reach this goal. on a side note what happened at 11:28 where you like teleport by the door weirdly as wolf.
Fantastic job DB! Been following for a while here on YT. Wish I caught the stream, but I'm glad I was at least here for this. Happy to see the grind paid off! 16:26! I believe!
You motivated me to spend like $140 and buy a copy. Pulled the files off the disk and popped it in the emulator. Not speed running, just running through as I remember it :) usually 200.6 in 4-7 hours, depends on my route.
Watching this progression over the last few sessions has been incredible. Every stream could have been the one, and like 3WRs in sessions in a row.

this is nothing to do with foosballl
Finally Matthew 16:26. Congrats DB. That was awesome.
This run is beyond clean, it's immaculate. Great work, bro.
The crazy thing is, if you hadn't missed a couple of jumps, this could've been a 16:25 or 16:24. Unreal. World record even with some minor errors.
"For what profit is it to man, if he gains the world, and loses his own soul? Matthew 16:26 I believe"
Congrats on the 16:26
.............
-Alucard
I was just about to make this refference, lmao. Hilariously fitting.
Man, that was a massive coincidence!
That’s an astronomical coincidence
No way! Has it been 2 years since the 16:26 run... Feels like it was just a few months ago. Time flies when you're speedrunning I guess.
I sadly was working when it happened and didn't get out of work till you wrapped up the stream, but I still felt the joy when I showed up shortly before you ended stream.
I’m very late in finding your channel, but as a diehard SotN & Castlevania fan this was absolutely excellent to watch amazing job! Without a doubt the best SotN speed run I’ve seen, your execution with Alucard is inspiring.
Mr Mathew 16:26!!! you are the KING of Friday Night, bruv
Dr4gonBlitz 16:26 I believe... huge congrats man!
I would like to say congratulations once again, this is a great achievement in SOTN speedrunning.
It's really cool seeing the way your channel has changed as I dive back into these older video. I'm excited for see your channel grow more and more DB. Thank you for making something incredible.
Congrats on the 16:26 WR! Just glad i was able to witness it live. Enjoy this victory, DB. Well deserved!
The "Matthew 16:26" run
LETS FUCKING GO dragon blitz u did it we all know u could do it the long awaited 16:26 has been done congrats
The mark of a TRUE CHAMPION!! in his own moment of glory, he uplifts his followers, elevating them to his level, and beyond!!!
Bro i am so lucky UA-cam recommended me this. Amazing run, even tho i cant speedrun myself, i love the castlevania games and you my friend have a great personality, great commenting style and seem like a really relaxed person in general, have my like and subscription :)

Congratulations!
Congrats! You finally got the Matthew 16:26 and more importantly, you avoided having to grind 999 Muramasa :D
OMG GGs. I am following you 2 years ago and I know what this moment really means for you and the community. Congrats!!
Getting to see the time in the thumbnail and watching you being hard on yourself made the pop-off so much better. Grats, dude, knew you could do it!
Congrats. Idk about losing the soul, but you certainly gained the world. Bravo.
16:26.58 is crazy! congratz!

Holy heck. Watched the Muramasarun but missed the WR.
Stoked for you, DB.
And its insane.
Even with bat getting stuck in the floor and that double exiting at Medusa, it was still Mathew.
Gz.
Now we hope for ultimate glory. Summoning Salt.
I've watched this on twitch a few times and now here again and its still so emotional. Congrats DB, you're forever a legend to us.
congratulations man, this game is my favorite among all video games and it is very popular here in Brazil 🇧🇷
Lol @5:20 when he declares he's changed his mind about the stream and this is going to be the WR. Just complete control of the game. DB says jump and SotN asks 'how high?'

Congratz DB, I can't believe I missed this live, you must be so happy bro
Beyond getting WR, I'm impressed on how you can just get it while chatting live. Super impressive!
Congratulations This is amazing. I know the feeling. I used to run this game at 200.6% 20 years ago and I didn't even know the term speedrun existed. It was more fun than running Super Metroid or Resident Evil (1/2/3) because a friend competed with me.
congratulations man I have been a subscriber since 2020.that is quite the achievement I never thought that perfection run could even be broken but you prove me wrong
16:26. We all know you will get it. GGs my hommie....
Congratulations, I'm glad you don't have to do the godawful Muramasa grind you were prepping just in case. It would have been the most royal of pains.
watching you light up when you saw you did it was amazing. such fantastic movement. what a genuine pleasure to watch.
Well Done DB!!! GGs Congratulations! I'm so excited for you! Thanks for all the SOTN man.
Feels like we've closed a chapter in our lives. Congratsssss 🥳🥳🥳🥳
I knew you would be the one to get it. Way to go. As for the speed running, I have book jump in my casual play. As well as library glitch. I just have problems with the back dashes, wing smashes, and the soul steals. The sad part is that I used to cheese the heck out of the game and soul steal everything to win. I am not a fan of the clips but I am working on randomizer and considering running all relics or all bosses.
So glad you got this! 16:26!!!!
Never got around to it but I considered running lament of innocence
Great job and GGs! You definitely earned it! It's been a pleasure to watch the journey.
Fml can't believe i missed the stream
Congrats man
Congrats man, that was a spicy run 🔥🔥 finally the lucrative 16:26 f in done, and now we get some ff7...what a day 🙌🏻🙌🏻
That's a sick run bro. And you got tons of places to improve even more. Way to go.
Congrats, legend! Keep up the good work
Congrats on the WR, your dedication and hard-work had not gone unnoticed!
Congrats on "Matthew" WR, DB. You deserved it, man, with your dedication, knowledge and persistence.
Woooohoooo! Big congrats! Such a shame I wasn't watching live but it's awesome you finally got the 16:26!
congratulations. crazy that you might have gone past 16:26 without the errors in the 2nd castle
That's a beautiful thing, DB! Congrats!!!
Congrats! I hope you continue to put out records. Been watching a few months and you're channel is very entertaining.
Congratulations, that's the result of your determination.
congrats 👏 I always believed it was possible since I was a kid and to finally see it is incredible, Koji Igarashi needs to see this!
Congrats! I'm bummed that I missed this one live. Great job, hard work pays off.
Great job as always. I can see it. Anyone who can't is blind witch would make sppedruns infinately more difficult. Next time Beans steps on the print button and gets a snapshot of the three and the end. You are the wind Dude:)
Congratulations DB!! You really are amazing and I love following your streams and videos! The journey to 16:26 was crazy !!
congrats on the 16:26 DB

I missed it sadly but congrats on the official Matthew 16:26
Oh hell yes! Congrats on all your hard work on this paying off! So happy to see this.
Been following you for a few months, and this is awesome. Congradulations! Awesome job dude. :)
this is one of my all time favorite games. but this is the first speedrun I've ever seen of it and I have no idea what just happened, from the outside that just looked so incredibly stressful and random. I feel like me and the fairy were on the same page, flappin her wings just desperately trying to keep up with this madman.
Shame I couldn't catch that stream, that shit's amazing, congrats man
Sorry I missed it DB, glad to see you finally got it! I knew you had it in you!
I think we need to get this video to 1626 likes! Congrats DB, glad I was there for it!
Awesome run man! That record is gonna hold for a long time. Somebody running forever until they get the lucky toadstool is what it’s gonna take
The best Yt recommendations ngl. Congrats bro this is incredible
Congrats man! Very impressive showing.
And shoutout to Romscout, a pioneer of SotN speedrunning!
I told you so! DB, hope you have grown during the process. Glad to also hear that you just want to beat yourself. And you did.
Not sure if you want to improve, but you are already beating on a dead horse. So relax, eat something good and drink something good!
Awesome run. Congrats!

THANKS
Yooooooooooooo. So hyped, dude. HIstory was made.
Now it will be know as Dr4gonBlitz 16.26 time. no more matthew. Let's go. Great job man. Congrats.
Five minutes into the run, mid-clock-rush, calls his shot, and NAILS IT. GG!
leaving the medusa boss fight twice was a flex not a mistake lol
congrats on world record it's awesome to see you finally reach this goal. on a side note what happened at 11:28 where you like teleport by the door weirdly as wolf.
Fantastic job DB! Been following for a while here on YT. Wish I caught the stream, but I'm glad I was at least here for this. Happy to see the grind paid off!
16:26!
I believe!
Hats off to you, sir. A well-earned victory indeed
Congrats DB You've earned it. Wish I could have been there.
Congrats amazing run ❤️
Congrats DB! What an epic moment in speedrun history.
Awesome run, DB!!!!!!!!!!
As someone who loves this game and watches your content... dude. Congratulations. Good lord, you've earned it.
You motivated me to spend like $140 and buy a copy. Pulled the files off the disk and popped it in the emulator. Not speed running, just running through as I remember it :) usually 200.6 in 4-7 hours, depends on my route.
Huge congratulations! To think when this game came out that the game could be beat with the bible quote verse time. Godspeed you glorious champion
Dude, this was incredible to watch! Wish I could've seen the stream! Absolutely amazing, congrats!!
it's insane to think you still had time loss
LOL I just watched a 12 hour 200.6% play through of this game. This run is WILD. Congratulations.
I've been watching you for a while. I really appreciate the grind. You earned this one DB! Congratulations bro.
Dood, Congrats on this run! & Thank You for posting it up to UA-cam; I missed the stream, but I'm so glad I got to see this moment! Good job DB! 👍
Great job getting the Mathew 16:26 . Drac and his sublimnals!🤣
GG Really happy that u get Matthew 16:26, congratulations.
