    • @sifuculreif6448
      @sifuculreif6448 3 роки тому +1

      If it were my call, I'd say that anything deliberately built into the game, like the Name-input modes available after a Clear Game, or even Luck Mode which is Always available, Those are features and Easter Eggs. Anything that creates a programmer- unintended malfunction of the normal gameplay is a Glitch, even curtain glitches. I'd even include skipping the Death Cutscene in that second list.
      I'd still say Natural exploits are fine, like using Hydro Storm to no-Damage the Bloodlines fight, or using Duplicator for infinite Bat Pentagrams, for example.
      That's just me, tho.

      I always felt the later Metroidvanias did basically everything better than SotN. It is very good, but the difficulty is an absolute joke and the Inverted Castle isn't exactly great game design. Inventory management is undeniably better in later games. I would say it's an important step in the series, but I wouldn't say best.

      @@VorpalTiger 3/4 circle starting from Up, roll the D-Pad/Control Stick backward (relative to the direction you're facing) to the forward position, AND the Jump button must be held from before you roll the stick, until a frame after you finish the directional input.
      That's a long way of saying:
      [Hold JUMP] Up, UpBack, Back, DownBack, Down, DownForward, Forward, [Release JUMP]
      If you ever do a Richter run, You'll want to practice this a lot, because Richter has a very similar move that uses the same Directional input, but uses a tap of the Whip button at the end instead of holding JUMP throughout.
      Doesn't go nearly as far as the bat, but if you practice chaining repeatedly, you can get a similar "flying" effect. Combine that with High-Jump practice and you can theoretically finish Richter Mode in under 7 minutes, No Glitches.

      @YukariYuuko 3 роки тому +3

      I'm late but it's only a graphic glitch. When you get a level up or grab a relic/hp up/heart up, the screen freeze for a few seconds. If you transform (From wolf to bat, in this case) the game get confuse and bug out. It only change the graphic and does not affect the gameplay what so ever
