PolarPhantom No, it isn't. Jacob wrestled an angel, the angel broke his hip, but couldn't get him to let go. Then Jacob told him, "Bless me and I'll let you go." the angel agreed, then healed his hip then left.
Jesus isnt a hard counter... Jesus died and only came back to life for a few hours. Lazarus was brought back from the dead and lived for the next hundred years. Also in castlevania it isnt christianity or religion that causes the damage its called True Faith. Its basically a strong enough will in your faith that grants you minor boons or miracles. Castlevania's church is evil so they lead the flock to evil thats why it only people like the belmonts can use holy symbols but commoners cant. The anime shows this. The fire happy bishop is killed in a church while the basic priest is able to make potent holy water. Basically True Faith makes a cross a weapon against vampires when otherwise its just a stick. Richter could make rain holy water and cast minor miracles but im fairly sure he never mentions god once (konami has a problem with depicting real world religious matters so thats probably more likely)
If you take a close look at Simon's concept art from this game it literally looks like someone grafted Light's head onto a buff body. There's even stitches.
Whenever I imagine a Castlevania Fighter I just imagine two assholes full screen away from eachother, just whiping away and slowly edging to eachother until the timer runs out and the tiniest amount of chip-damage decides the victory. THE HYPEST GAMEPLAY ON UA-cam!
24:07 Woolie not doing enough research on the Japanese language continues, the commercial in question says "akuma to" (as in akuma to odorou, "let's dance with the devil"), not akumajou. Is there even a castle in DMC2? Not sure how he thought it was the same word.
AfroMetalMizu This has nothing to do with the video, but I can't wait 'til you get your Patreon up. I'm discovering new characters who just beg to be drawn doing lewd things.
16:11 "Why would Christianity hurt death?" Because it's a religion based entirely on the idea of conquering death. The central message is that Jesus kicked Death's butt after a 3 day fight, then came back to earth to hang out for a month and show that he won. In fact, there's even explicit smack talk in the Bible: "O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” (1 Corinthians 15:55) The cross is a reminder that Christians think Death is a little _bitch_ ... but it does damage mostly because vidya games and such.
Yeah! And Christianity is all about "Hey man, worship Lil J and you'll live forever."" and "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of DEATH, I fear no evil, etc."
I'd say Crucis Fatal Fake is closer to what I want from FSN fighting game (if it was done on an actual budget, by an actual company). And Melty Blood is a much better fighting game (and the best Nasuverse game) overall. But yeah, that Gilgamesh grail super tho.
*Time for Death Notevania!* Dracula will now take those beautiful necks, and eat it! All according to the Belmont's keikaku. _Translation note: Keikaku means "Japanese Dessert"_
"There's no confusion at all," yes, Pat, you're extremely confused. Dracula X is not Dracula X Chronicles, and Maria was always a child in Rondo of Blood.
Middle school was an awkward moment in my life as everyone and their mother was into death note and naruto since they bothed aired on toonami/adult swim
**guy named "AEON" appears in the intro spinning a huge dumb clock and is looking all important and overall super ominous** Woolie: so why how did everyone get here, anyway?
Anyone here besides me a fan of anime "Trinity Blood"?? That anime made vampires cool along with Ifrits as the bad guys and you have Cain and Abel fighting each other.
it was once cool to me have seen a random episode that intrudeced the white hair vampire and the robot........ but then i saw fairy episode and i was like just shoot the mother fuckers and then i saw and then i saw it again on adult swim and a some dude was blowing up a city because they killed his wife (i don't know if it was his wife but i just lost it for his reasons) and then i saw the last episode thinking what happen here
Lol. The intro to these Spookycuffs cracks me up. I don't know if it's the hilariously bad Resident Evil Dualshock music, or the hilariously bad Halloween animations that were clearly just pasted on at random, but it just perfectly sums up what is to come, and kudos to you guys for coming up with it.
as a stupid huge Hellsing fanboy, I gotta clarify Vlad the Impaler became a vampire during his historical date of execution as a result of some nebulous force offering it to him in the form of the blood of his countrymen.
Its weird listening to Matt and Pat interactions. I didnt follow their channel closely and only learned what happened after the fact they moved on. Knowing that they had tension but still tried to work together, I commend them seeing the bigger picture and building their following and they all seem to be doing decent for themselves
as a castlevania player, I went "who is this??? who are they??" a lot while playing this. Why couldn't Obata preserve the old design and color scheme of the established characters?
In Hellsing, Vlad was a human who slaughtered lots of people and stuck piled up their butts, and big war happened, and then there were two big armies of dead people. Y'know, in a nutshell. So guys were like, "Yo, Vlad, you made lots of deads, so we're gonna have to hang you now." They put the noose on him before hanging it from the tree, cuz they're idiots, so Vlad's on the ground and it's all muddy from the blood of all the dead guys he made from the war. Vlad's like, "Man, I'm parched," and starts sucking the blood outta the earth. And suddenly vampire. So poking butts enough won't make you a vampire, but drinking from blood-soaked soil after a war you caused might?
22:50 Yeah moments before he's about to die they asked him if he regretted fighting the war and he just licks the blood on the ground and grins. Bram Stokers Dracula I believe see's his wife get killed and renounces christianity.
i never seen the deaths in death note so, every time i hear death note , i just go whao what are you guys smoking because death note is just full random normal people and those two guys with death notes
Pat:"somethingsomething Dracula X for the PSP" time happens Matt:"*freaks out for no reason* .... oh, I thought you were talking about the SNES game." Yeah Matt, he was talking about the SNES game. That's why he said "for the PSP" not three seconds beforehand.
If you go by lament of innocence, then it makes perfect sense as to why the whip does so well against both death and pretty much every creature of the night, frankly I think of it as the true start to castlevania dood.
N00BSYBORG Patreon. ;P I'm gonna redesign my emblem, and make a mascot character and open the Patreon page. Open commissions and whatnot. Making this round of Skullgirls is like a self imposed final exam. See if I'm worthy ;P
Christianity would beat death since Christ's death and resurrection essentially frees people from the true fear of dying, being judgment for one's sins.
Ok. I don't know if they change it in the OVA, but in the manga its kinda cool how Alucard became a vampire. He looses a massive battle and is about to be beheaded when the blood of his slaughtered soldiers comes to him. It says: "Drink our blood, take our hatered into yourself and give us vengeance o lord. Kill the Ottoman dogs!" And he does. Alucard doesn't just drink the blood of his victims, he drinks their very souls.
22:50 Helsing got his powers on the day he was executed, moments before his death they asked him if he regretted fighting the war and all the death that ensued so right before they chop off his head he licks the blood on the ground and grins.
Christianity hurts death because Jesus beat him that one time in summerslam, and now the shame is so great it physically hurts him.
Like when Jacob beat God in wrestling.
Jacob beat an angel, not God.
***** It really depends on how you read the text and how it's translated.
Regardless,Jacob is the Julius Belmont of the Bible,
PolarPhantom No, it isn't. Jacob wrestled an angel, the angel broke his hip, but couldn't get him to let go. Then Jacob told him, "Bless me and I'll let you go." the angel agreed, then healed his hip then left.
***** Then Jacob got the name Israel which means something like "he who struggles with God."
"why does christianity hurt death"
Gee, couldn't be because Jesus is a hard counter?
plz nerf
If you think about it, the cross is a nerf to him already.
@@RazielBR Jesus can't deal with cross ups
@@luan.galaxy Maybe a Cross Counter?
Jesus isnt a hard counter... Jesus died and only came back to life for a few hours. Lazarus was brought back from the dead and lived for the next hundred years.

Fun fact: This game was supossed to have alternate customes , resembling the characters original outfits, but Konami decided to rush it
"If you work hard then _maybe_ you can have the good character designs back. Maybe."
The character desings have nothing to do with time tho . Iga was the one that demanded the Deathnote guy
Not all of Iga's ideas are gold.
Please be good, Bstained...
"...but Konami decided to rush it"
in other news, water is wet.
@@PolarPhantom What did you think?
What Is A Fighting Game? A Miserable Little Pile of Secret Moves!!
RollCritFail But enough tech, have at you!
The creator of this intro should buy the rights for Silent Hills and finish the game. No Del Toro needed.
that person did... and made a bunch of terrible animations for the pachinko machine... "SILENT ZONE"
This fucking intro makes me break down into a dumb giggle fit every time.
They better be saving their budget for Mechaweek 3....
AfroMetalMizu Dude, they need to play some Gundam games.
Koneko Ryuugamine Fucking full LP of Gundam Breaker 3
What does giggling into a ballgag sound like?
Lots, and I mean LOTS of saliva XD.
"I forgot the spookies..."
"YOU FORGOT THE SPOOKIES?!"
Wow. Obata literally just drew Rem from Death Note and told them that it was a new design for Grant Danasty. Holy shit.
If you take a close look at Simon's concept art from this game it literally looks like someone grafted Light's head onto a buff body. There's even stitches.
I have my own nicknames for some of the characters.
Simon Yagami, Rem Danasty, Misa Renard, Mello Lecarde and Neon.
Yeah, he phoned it the fuck in, dude. It’s insane.
Whenever I imagine a Castlevania Fighter I just imagine two assholes full screen away from eachother, just whiping away and slowly edging to eachother until the timer runs out and the tiniest amount of chip-damage decides the victory.
THE HYPEST GAMEPLAY ON UA-cam!
I think more like nidhogg with short hops for the newer characters and op sub weapons for folks like Trevor.
I think Hydro Storm battle.
If it was a 2D fighter with the most op characters or specials like Julius giant cross, Alucard spells, etc in a small arena it could work
No I just imagine a fight in the vain of the Richter boss fight in SoTN or Julius in AoS, it can be done properly.
There's a Castlevania game made with MUGEN, which is pretty good. It has boss rush and versus mode.
Alucard is literally just Sephiroth, down to the eye color!
TheRoboticRonin in this game, yes.
and sasuke
Lol in October 2022, I'm on a Castlevania kick and bought this. It's fun actually
Death Note guy huh? Sure but imagine if Berserk's Kentaro Miura designed the characters...
Unfortunately, no one gave your genius the recognition it deserves. i am here to rectify that. Be well, wary traveler.
I see you like to play Castlevania..
you have not saved often.
you are somewhat reckless.
Joe Kewl What a terrible night to have a curse.
SUPER MARIO SUNSHINE?!?!?
ETERNAL DARKNESS?!
24:07 Woolie not doing enough research on the Japanese language continues, the commercial in question says "akuma to" (as in akuma to odorou, "let's dance with the devil"), not akumajou. Is there even a castle in DMC2? Not sure how he thought it was the same word.
Oh, yeah! More of that quality editing only the Super Best Friends can bring us!
"Quality"? What is that?
this game existing gives me a migrane
Mr. Chris Merkel Studios, what does this word 'Quality' mean? Is it a kind of Ice cream?
sans the skeleton
The best flavor. And the Super Best Friends have no idea how to make it.

One of the many upsides to watching Jojo is being able to get the constant references spewing out of this channel

Seriously? That's a bible quote? Why doesn't anyone ever quote the cool parts!
But conquering death is impossible tho.
Pat confirmed for getting Lore on Christianity wrong.
*Pat thinks Simon is a different character in 1&2*
EVERYONE LAUGH AT HIM!
That intro never fails to impress
What's really funny about this game is that Capcom saw it and thought "this is the studio we can trust with making MvC3".
Well Tatsunoko and Unlimited Codes were great. Should have went with that style with Judgement really.
Unlimited Code is the best, although super are quite finicky to execute though.
I'd say Crucis Fatal Fake is closer to what I want from FSN fighting game (if it was done on an actual budget, by an actual company). And Melty Blood is a much better fighting game (and the best Nasuverse game) overall. But yeah, that Gilgamesh grail super tho.
But Bloody Roar tho.
That was actually made way before this.
29:00 Probably the coolest thing about Aeon's super is he has a unique rant for each character, even a Mirror Match.
Sick!
*Time for Death Notevania!*
Dracula will now take those beautiful necks, and eat it!
All according to the Belmont's keikaku.
_Translation note: Keikaku means "Japanese Dessert"_
Cornell now looks like a robot. ACTUALLY WAIT ROBOT WEREWOLVES SOUND COOL!
Now that I'm a big fan of Castlevania, hearing Pat get EVERYTHING wrong is just... horrible
Why is Maria a nepnep character now? I do not want.
Literally JUST finding out Spookycuffs was a thing? Geez.
"There's no confusion at all," yes, Pat, you're extremely confused. Dracula X is not Dracula X Chronicles, and Maria was always a child in Rondo of Blood.
A child with gigantic boobs for some reason. Maria's Rondo art was very confusing.
gaminggoddess85 Rondo's art is anime as fuck
*ANYTHING* to avoid BlazeBlue
+Arcademan09
*EVERYTHING* to avoid Blazblue.
Arcademan09 Blazblue isn't halloween themed, silly.
But to them, it's very spooky.
Really? You're saying this during Castlevania Judgement? Not Shrek or that public domain, Boo Haunted House game last week?
To be honest, Judgement is better than BlazBlue.
YOU MEAN YOU HAVEN'T SEEN DEATHNOTE
YOU MEAN HIKARU NO GO
YOU MEAN RAL X GRAD!
Middle school was an awkward moment in my life as everyone and their mother was into death note and naruto since they bothed aired on toonami/adult swim
yeah but then death note died but code gease kept on until bleach showed up and that literature when the fire nation attacked
Fallout Kat You haven't seen Corey in the House!?
I've only ever played the NES Castlevanias and this makes Castlevania look like Final Fantasy for problem children.
You should play more.
**guy named "AEON" appears in the intro spinning a huge dumb clock and is looking all important and overall super ominous**
Woolie: so why how did everyone get here, anyway?
So they had to include ALL THREE playable characters from Castlevania III, but not Best Belmont Julius?
Or FUCKING RICHTER!
all 4*
Lord Dio! Yeah, he's right. Alucard was in III.
Yeah, but Alucard was playable in other games, not just Castlevania III.
The Hug Box so was trevor.
To Clarify the Bram Stoker's Connection, Bloodlines is the game that adds it to the lore with John Morris, which is followed up by Portrait of Ruin.
Finally the best Castlevania.Others want to push SOTN, I say push Judgement for SummerSlam
Apparetly ancient vampires all had jenova cells implanted into them.Cause that's just sephiroth
Final Fantasy VII, my favourite horror game
@Nero Metal Shh! Please no, we have to be quiet, you’ll summon the dark lord Ehrgeiz.
liam's editing skills have improved
oh, and I bought my first castlevania game today too. order of ecclesia. any advice
Enjoy yourself is all I can say.
+Jonathan Almanza Try to find all villagers for the true ending, if you are having trouble with some boss, just grind a little bit.
Have patience and be quick to take things seriously. OoE has an old-school sensibility to its difficulty.
If you liked crabs before, you won't after playing Order of Ecclesia.
That intro is too spoopy.😨
Anyone here besides me a fan of anime "Trinity Blood"?? That anime made vampires cool along with Ifrits as the bad guys and you have Cain and Abel fighting each other.

I only watched like 4 episodes of Trinity Blood, but what I remember was really cool. I should finish it sometime.

I forgot the pumpkins.
YOU FORGOT THE PUMPKINS!?!
That Simon character's portrait is basically Light Yagami. Did the artist even try?
Didn't you know? Simon _is basically_ Light Yagami.
Mareepu
Oh...okay.
Drawn by the same person.
And Maria is Misa Misa, and Grant is Rem, and and Aeon is Near...
Did Akira Toriyama even try to make a new character?

I don't know if it's the hilariously bad Resident Evil Dualshock music, or the hilariously bad Halloween animations that were clearly just pasted on at random, but it just perfectly sums up what is to come, and kudos to you guys for coming up with it.
The Halloween intro of Fisticuffs is like babys first video project.
"Simon is from that bad Castlevania game"
-Pat
Im glad all that vessel money was spent on this intro, totally worth it!
Maria IS in castlevania dracula X on the super nintendo as an npc needed to get the good ending, but she is not playable
"This is a really good remix of Bloody Tears."
...But that's... Vampire Killer, Liam.

This...is early? New LP? Liam Buggery? You decide
Today's Friday. Fighting games this afternoon, spooky games tonight.
as a castlevania player, I went "who is this??? who are they??" a lot while playing this. Why couldn't Obata preserve the old design and color scheme of the established characters?
Ho Chi Mints
or get Tetsuo Hara for design and Buronson for game story.
I was hoping to god you guys would play this game at some point! This makes me quite happy.
The reason Shanoa had the veil instead of her long flowing hair was at the time they couldn't reproduce it effectively on the Wii apparently.
They can still hardly reproduce it on today's 3D technology.
"I thought it was a girl" Story of my life Woolie, story of my life.
Liam: I played this game a lot when I was younger
Me: So last year then.
Wait... what?
That's Maria? SOTN Maria? "RICHTER!" Maria?
That's not Maria. You're wrong. WRONG, I TELL YOU! WRONG! **runs off to sob in the corner**
reminder that SotN is a sequel to a way better Castlevania in which Maria Renard is a little girl, so yeah this isn't actually that crazy
I really wished they used the charge versions of the sub weapons. You can do stuff like Grand Cross with it.
In Hellsing, Vlad was a human who slaughtered lots of people and stuck piled up their butts, and big war happened, and then there were two big armies of dead people. Y'know, in a nutshell. So guys were like, "Yo, Vlad, you made lots of deads, so we're gonna have to hang you now."

Vlad's like, "Man, I'm parched," and starts sucking the blood outta the earth. And suddenly vampire.
So poking butts enough won't make you a vampire, but drinking from blood-soaked soil after a war you caused might?
22:50 Yeah moments before he's about to die they asked him if he regretted fighting the war and he just licks the blood on the ground and grins. Bram Stokers Dracula I believe see's his wife get killed and renounces christianity.
+Cliff Gibson You're thinking of the movie. I don't think the book says how Dracula became a vampire. He just was one.
"and big war happened" might be one of my new favorite quotes.
I LOVE THE LAZYNESS FOR THIS OPENING!!!
That goddamn intro.. everytime, it makes me smile.
I see Liam's been doing his editing homework, but this has to wait. Fucking VR shenanigans.
A deer smashed through the school window hypest shit ever. Now I need this to get dehyped
I agree with Woolie, crosses look fucking rad.
heck it best friends, your intro is doing me a real big frighten
everyone in this game looks like a Death Note
coolboyyo654 I think it's the same artist.
Takeshi Obata did the art for this game yes
Yeah, that makes sense
they look like a piece of paper? :-p
i never seen the deaths in death note so, every time i hear death note , i just go whao what are you guys smoking because death note is just full random normal people and those two guys with death notes
*iga holding the nunchaku* ".....i got nothin'"
Pat:"somethingsomething Dracula X for the PSP"
time happens
Matt:"*freaks out for no reason* .... oh, I thought you were talking about the SNES game."
Yeah Matt, he was talking about the SNES game. That's why he said "for the PSP" not three seconds beforehand.
It's 2 pm on Friday here. How fucked up are Canadian timezones
This actually looks like a pretty interesting game.
The only issue would be that it is really missing a lot of Castlevania characters.
Pat the Castlevania scrub. Add it to the lore.
Pat being mildly inconvenienced by a swarm of bats kills me.
If you go by lament of innocence, then it makes perfect sense as to why the whip does so well against both death and pretty much every creature of the night, frankly I think of it as the true start to castlevania dood.
I freaking LOVE this game even though I nevered played any Castlevainia games.
There's a reason Obata is always paired with a writer.
That outfit with that whip. Simon Belmont is just a fetishist in this game.
AfroMetalMizu He looks like something a kid on deviantart would call cool.
N00BSYBORG Speaking of art, my "renditions" of the Skullgirls are almost done. Hopefully by the end of the night ;3
AfroMetalMizu Nice. What are your plans after that?
N00BSYBORG Patreon. ;P I'm gonna redesign my emblem, and make a mascot character and open the Patreon page. Open commissions and whatnot. Making this round of Skullgirls is like a self imposed final exam. See if I'm worthy ;P
AfroMetalMizu Let me know when you set it up. I can donate what I can.
Oh man I've been both waiting and dreading this one.
Think we can all agree that Cornell had the best design.
Guess Liam is too spooked in October to ever bring cookies.
Belmont? More like Beltmont amirite?
It was only a matter of time....
The intro's really spoopy you guys..I can't sleep at night cause of this...
I've been waiting so long for this.
I wish more fighting games had adventure modes
Oh wow Alucard is kinda making me thirsty ;)
Pat really has no place being in the room for this one, my fucking mom knows more Castlevania lore then he does XD
Quick reminder that this Castlevania is from the era where Dracula is played by Patrick Seitz, aka Scorpion, aka DIO.
Christianity would beat death since Christ's death and resurrection essentially frees people from the true fear of dying, being judgment for one's sins.
Fun fact: the music that plays in the intro is actual, legit Resident Evil music.
YEAH I KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN ONE DAY
I BEEN WAITIN FOR THIS
Matt I forgot the cookies.(Liam talking)
YOU FORGOT THE COOKIES!!!!?!?(Matt yelling)
ROLF
Ok. I don't know if they change it in the OVA, but in the manga its kinda cool how Alucard became a vampire.
He looses a massive battle and is about to be beheaded when the blood of his slaughtered soldiers comes to him. It says: "Drink our blood, take our hatered into yourself and give us vengeance o lord. Kill the Ottoman dogs!"
And he does. Alucard doesn't just drink the blood of his victims, he drinks their very souls.
Boy, I love me some Friday Afternoon Spookycuffs!
I just fucking love that they put the basement song there, god.
THAT SONG
That intro is the kind of spoopies that give me the poopies - a true Shitstorm indeed.
I've been waiting for this!
Pat: "its at this moment i realise i hate castlevania"
Then how can he like Bloodborne when its just the castlevania 64 remake we deserved?
Yeah, one of my favorite Wii games! Wait, it's a scrublords? Fuck.
Tips and Tricks was the greatest gaming magazine.
This is by far the spoopiest game yet.
This was Liam's first fighting game when he was the tender age of 5.
22:50 Helsing got his powers on the day he was executed, moments before his death they asked him if he regretted fighting the war and all the death that ensued so right before they chop off his head he licks the blood on the ground and grins.
