The Cross/boomerang affords a lot of opportunities to rack up a ton of points (and lives) very easily in this game. I'm seeing 7,000's all over the place. There is even a spot right before Frankenstein where you can stand behind a wall and mow down red skeletons repeatedly, taking advantage of the score multiplier.
Sorry, this looks *awesome* - but to me, Castlevania only really began with SOTN, because it was the first Castlevania game where the worst enemy wasn't the XXXXing *controls.*
@@gv82089 ...prior to SOTN, the PC maneuvered like a tank. He couldn't move while attacking. He couldn't jump onto stairs. He couldn't change *direction* mid-jump. The early Castlevania games were popular for their atmosphere, not their ease of play.
@@donkeykongisytpooping3002 And SCIV is more than just "superior" controls, though nothing on the level of Metroidvanias. If nothing else, check it out on its own. It's a whole different monster all together.
@@kalaong tl;dr ver. If you ever try one again, get used to the controls cause it's not as hard as you think. -- Classicvanias are an example of what to do with limited controls. The movements and jumping are super clunky specifically to add to the challenge. By comparison, enemy placement and patterns are nothing too complex or OTT just enough to be manageable by what you have. Compare Castlevania NES to Ninja Gaiden NES. Enemies in the latter are much faster, spawn quicker, attack patterns can be unfair; relatively speaking both games are about as difficult as each other yet Castlevania does so much with so little. IMO I agree that Metroidvanias are simply better. Classicvanias still remain an acquired taste and can be enjoyable when pulled off right. When the person above said "skill issue" it's mostly true, except the skill in question is unnecessary with most games outside Castlevania anyway so who cares? I say if you're ever gonna try one again think of it more as a strategy platformer than twitch-reactionary ones. After understanding the controls, all it takes to beat the game is the right subweapon at the right situation. Or play Super Castlevania IV which isn't as clunky and your basic offence options make subweapons next to meaningless. Like SOTN. --

OST be like
NES Castlevania: disco edition
The absolute ARTISTRY in this video. And the music. Fucking amazing.
Just my personal timestamps of magical moments~
0:44 6:19 7:47 8:00 11:17 11:24 12:54 14:19 16:12
Those hits on medusa felt personal lmao
💀💀💀
this soundtrack is pretty great ngl
Especially its version of Simons Theme. So great.
No shit, mad props from Cinder!
Me and my son just watched this at his graduation practice! Lmao!
Keep the Castlevania shining!
Beautiful run!
trying to get the canonical ending for simon by getting hit in the end i see.
I absolutely loved that medusa thing dude, amazing
When you beat a new TAS world record 1 minute after its set...
alexberp both runs are reuploads
This is my new favorite pasttime - watching these while in proper condition.
This would be even faster on Japanese version. As Medusa had shorter invincibility frames.

Great game, great TAS.
Wow. You really destroyed the bosses.
0:46 That beat drop!
The arranged music is wayyy better !
13:59-14:08 Simon: Are you okay, ma'am? You don't seem to be feeling well.
OH F--K, IT'S A FEMALE WEREWOLF!
KILL IT! KILL IT! KILL IT!
My first and favorite Castlevania game, at least favoritre non-metroidvania
17:45 from that point I love that run
I am SO glad they gave up on this visual redesign of Simon. It's just freaking awful.
I understand that's your opinion, but I personally love the Ayami Kojima design. I'd agree, though, the classic design is more iconic.
@@alynnzz0491 yeah, i fell like its perfect as some king meme "skin"
@@arthurcatisani explain, please?
@@alynnzz0491 oh sorry, my english is bad. I meant this simon's punk visual is good as a meme
@@arthurcatisani Ah, got it.
Just kept walking forward with no fear
Just wondering but why is the time not counting down in this run?
They turned it off in the options.
11:24 disrespect
This is wonderful
Why? it was amazing!
THRASHARD IN THE CAVE GO 🔥🔥🔥🔥
the long purple hair makes him look like a girl. did he have a rebellious punk rock phase i didn't know about?
Yes
Yes
Yes
This game was made during the Androgivania period, after the NES trilogy and Super Castlevania IV.
What purple hair?
😎 excellent game play
holy schit its mitsuru castlevania
This game looks like it was made for the release of the playstation. Or, maybe it's their first time working with these specs.
Playstation quality xD this generation is screwed
well, this is a port of a game that originally came out in 1993, so

Sounds more like a skill issue to me

Someone hasn’t played Super Castlevania IV.

Spaz 😎
7:42 I die many times
wait, there's time stop in this game?
There is also a healing item in the form of a green herb looking thing. It goes in the weapon slot like the others.
Fue una grandiosa partida enese Castlevania 🙂
The sound doesn't really fit the more graphic eye candy arcade quality.
8:23 Awesome !
Esse CGI é melhor que o Castlevania Symphony of night..mas para por aí..o restante não se compara.
It's a completely different type of game so you shouldn't be comparing them in the first place
Score 465505
Sweet game
