Simon Belmont (David Henrie after he was Justin Russo): Imma give you a little present. Dracula (Sebastian Stan after he was Bucky the Winter Soldier from Captain America): What? Simon: AN ASS WHUPPIN!
Townsfolk: Dracula has risen again, but his castle looks nigh impossible to storm! Simon: This'll take half an hour at most, calm down and let me handle this.
Gotta be my favorite Classicvania out of all of them. Sure it was regarded as way too easy but it just felt right to play. I also loved the overall atmosphere of the game, it felt like a real journey. Also, the soundtrack has some of the most underrated/under-remixed pieces in the series! The Clockwork Mansion music is incredible, as well as the Treasury's, and the Library's. I would replay this game any day.
Library music in this game is my favorite. Its so nostalgic for me. I used to play this every day when I was a kid and still play quite frequently. One of the best games ever made.
Castlevania 4 is the best one to just pick up and speedrun, the music is amazing and it is all so worth it when you beat it, that ending bgm is part of my childhood 😆
I like to think that this speedrun is Simon Belmont's canonical strength. Out of all the Belmonts and their extended family, Simon has and always will be my favorite. What a badass. Great TAS run, I always love seeing these.
I've never played this game, only Simon's Quest, Rondo of Blood and SotN but seeing these guys use the knockback to their advantage looks like it takes so much precision 👁️👁️
I remember riding my bike to BlockBuster when I was around 10 years old to rent this game multiple times. I eventually would work my way to B-2, but would also always die on those upward 45 degree platforms. Easily my favorite game of all time.
One of my aunt's brought Final Fight for the SNES for me on my birthday. I never opened it, didn't want it. She was kind enough to give me the receipt. I had to go to Montgomery Wards to change it in. And the newest release? Of course, this is what I went home with. One of the better decisions I have made in life.
Must be a CastleVania marathon this month. Didn't think this one could get any faster, those new damage boosts were impressive, especially the wall leap in the treasury.
I know this is a TAS, BUT DAMN 9:17 took the wating game into another level, they even bother use reverse hook chain, witch I didn't even know it was posible 11/10
Simon's mom: Darling, dinner is ready! Simon: Mom, I'm in the middle of a hazardous journey, I'm not going to get it on time... Simon's mom: But it is your favorite meal.. Simon: Ok give me 29 minutes, I'll be there...
Some thoughts: 1.) The BGM for “Forest of Monsters” is fucking sublime. 2.) Simon Belmont is clearly a hold-out from the 80’s cocaine culture; I just watched him swing a whipthree times in a second and before that, he hopped across a body of water like Jesus playing hopscotch.
Man UA-cam is getting too damn smart. I never watch any Castlevania content, I've never watched anything from this channel and I hardly watch any TASs at all. But I do know one of the TASers of this video since he now speedruns a game I also run. How the hell did UA-cam ever connect this video to me.
What exactly means TAS? Is it also reduced hit boxes? At 20:22 and several other occasions Simon clips through spikes. That would be a sudden death on the SNES.
Yeah. Instead we have calculated damage boosts for speed and platforming. I get it, Classicvania TASes are also fun to watch. But like both's gameplay, it looks mundane compared to Metroidvanias.
This is one game that I could never beat. Was before my time but when I got a WII on the shop it was such a tough game. That learning curve is a vertical line by 1-3 lol.
@@CopiousDoinksLLC It's really not much of a stretch, it's all the same notes in the same sequence, except one or two of them have different durations.
Bloody tears starts its epic opening notes... And gets cut off by a fucking ad. God man. TAS did not used to be this bad about ads. What the hell happened?
Dracula enters P2 I start thinking "oh there comes his awesome BGM again" But it was over before that thought finished ._. No awesomeness was lost though.
this tas was recommended to me because i play nes cv, and i thought "huh, ok, let's finally see what it looks like on the snes." great tas, but wow, this game really looks like an early snes game. with the exception of the 3d and effects, the uninspired sprite color schemes and overall feel are reminiscent of cv2 and the music basically avoided most of the percussion until 30m in? weird.
@@FramedOrpheus23so was marioworld, but that game somehow managed to have an interesting color scheme and upbeat music. The problem was the underlying development processes.
Maybe its because I never owned any nintendo systems, but I just finished symphony of the night and this looks boring by comparison, even for a TAS. Not a diss though, I know the roots.
IMO X68000 Castlevania made a better job in retelling the story of first game than SC IV. I love the combat system of SC IV and some of the levels, but i loved III choice of paths and playing as Sypha or Alucard was a lot of fun.

Dracula: "I fear no man, but that... thing..."

Simon: AN ASS WHUPPIN!
I love the dedication to making different poses at the end of every stage
Just came down here to say the same thing!
So glad you said that, didn’t even notice. Epic

Also Jesus Christ this TAS is fun to watch, lots of damage boosting I never considered before and some crazy stuff with the whip swings

Im really really so happy to hear that i obviously wasnt alone with this library music and other you mentioned !! Im still amazed with them
May the elder gods protect u from living forest 🌴😱🌴 wasteland kintaro, goro,and baraka
Well we were given the full potential of the whip of course the game is gonna bend it's knee to us
This is one of those games that just allows the artwork of the gameplay to shine in a TAS. Check out the kill at 27:46 - murderous yet graceful!

Awesome job dude, perfect timing on everything even with the strategic health burns to new life, I don't see how anybody could do it better.
That's why it's called a TAS

This isn’t a new movie
This run has more showmanship than any other TAS run. Those poses after each boss are beautiful.
Man, you make this look so easy but to me, it’s still a hard game. Love your videos.

9:18 Simon casually obliterating all known laws of physics
The belmonts are just build diferent (And in the canon. Simon Belmont was the physical strongest one)

Gotta love the nostalgic music
We've come a long way since I played this as a kid, wondering how to go down stairs without dying.

16:22 Simon Belmont splits a happy couple in half 💀💀💀
9:23 Simon forgot how to gravity.
Simon defies gravity better then Legolas in Hobbit movies.
I like the part where Simon says "oh".
That pose thou looks cool the game is too cool to ignore
So awesome!
*_AWESOME VIDEO. THANKS & RESPECT from Russia_*
This game had one helluva sound track for its time.😳
Super Damage-Boosting-vania 4. Jokes aside, Simon's normal walking speed IS horrendously slow in this game.
Too clunky yeah
At least it's better than the other Castlevania on this console, along with Christopher's _first_ outing...
It's more than perfect, did you look at the gameboy titles? Cristopher is actually slow while Simon has that speed because of the sprite size.
**sigh**
Somehow Dracula returned.
Shame.
Dark science... cloning...
Secrets only the vampires knew...
What exactly means TAS? Is it also reduced hit boxes? At 20:22 and several other occasions Simon clips through spikes. That would be a sudden death on the SNES.
Boy am I glad to watch a Castlevania speedrun without constant backdash or slide... Typically: whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh...

Be honest, this is what you came here for: 0:46
Wat
Whoa, Simon's Theme and, ergo, the stage clear jingle contain The Lick (if you are willing to compromise the note durations a bit).
That's a bit of a stretch, tbh
@@CopiousDoinksLLC It's really not much of a stretch, it's all the same notes in the same sequence, except one or two of them have different durations.
2:46
Yo this is so perfect 😊
Why are the SFX in this game so satisfying?
Bloody tears starts its epic opening notes...
And gets cut off by a fucking ad.
God man. TAS did not used to be this bad about ads. What the hell happened?
I liked the part with the whipping
The dracula fight made me laugh. Everytime dracula appeared it was a like a cartoon fight.
23:11 is the ass whooping of the century!
Edit:Dracula too!
I have no words
This iconic castlevania is the only one with amazing music.
Rondo of Blood? Symphony of the Night? The NES Trilogy?
@@ikagura I would add Castlevania from x68000, Mt-32 version , it had my fav rendition of Wicked Child and other bangers,
Awesome game 😎😎😎
Dracula shit himself when this machine came in there
2:38
Showoff
Been a while since I heard SNES9x's old sound engine.
all i have to say is.... WTF!? lol
That was so much fun to watch.
Awesome
I'm sure when they were Designing Castlevania 4 They didn't think that Somebody can beat This games in under a half an hour. It's Crazy.
Castlevania was a fun game
Is a fun game.
gives me anxiety watching some of these jumps just barely make it.
holy fuck this is blindingly good
Dracula enters P2
I start thinking "oh there comes his awesome BGM again"
But it was over before that thought finished ._.
No awesomeness was lost though.
Give a long black tripod too a bear

Lol I love how we never even see Dracula other than a pixelated mess 🤣

These bosses just eat that whip.
How come there is 0 lag?

Is this Tas 100 percent optimized? (I don't make them so idk)
11:30
-WARNING-This part may potentially trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy. Viewer discretion advised.
Its like TAS plays lazily when it has health until it has one bar left and then plays exceptionally, then gets health and goes back to playing lazily.
11:05 WTF!
Castlevania Chronicles is still my favorite over SCV4.
My birthday today 🥳🎁🎁
One dislike is from Dracula who laid back in the coffin when he saw what Simon is doing.
Wuauuuuu tué le meilleur
11:40 why does the Golem look eerily like Donald Trump?
He was supposed to have his own game, Trumpvania.
It's just not a tas if you don't style on em somehow
this game creeps me out
Anyone else slightly dissatisfied when after the first boss clear, all three crosses weren't straight? 🤕
Why collect some of the money bags? RNG manipulation?
29 min fin wowo
all that food placement as if this game was meant to be tassed
want to see Super Ghouls N Ghosts :D hate this Game so much ....everyday need a new Joypad xD
