9:20 Excellent preview image selection. Must keep clipping...

[@brawndo8726]

13:12 turns up volume as commentator mentions music.

[@Laxxus1]

Hey. Laxxus here , the runner. Thanks everyone for the positive feedback, really appreciate it. It was so much fun for me. Special shoutouts to my Couch for this awesome commentary, would not be half as good without them. If you have questions, feel free to ask.

[@misterturkturkle]

WHY DID YOU SKIP THE SECOND HEALTH UPGRAYDE

[@Laxxus1]

Because it wastes time and I don't need it? :P Technically I could skip the first one as well if I don*'t make mistakes. But since I fall right onto it with the zip, I don't have to worry about it.

[@milesmurphree2364]

Great run Laxxus. Very fun to watch and your couch was very informative. Again, great run!

[@juke2782]

I wasn't thinking about getting this game, but this run changed my mind. Thanks for the great run!

[@lh9591]

excellent run!! I would also prefer curse of the moon 2 over bloodstained. why do you think no one runs psp rondo of blood?

[@jaggededge11]

That Ice-Sickle strat is awesome.

[@ArtoPekkanen]

"This game was a stretch from the kickstarter of Ritual of the Night ... which will come out at some point eventually" - "I kind of want Curse of The Moon 2" :D based commentary. Honestly this game looks and sounds awesome, I really hope they make a sequel.

[@Laxxus1]

We actually got to talk to a developer of Ritual of the night after the run and he assured us that the game will come out this year. So I hope it will be just as awesome.

[@lh9591]

I would love more retro blood stained games, in the vein of c4 or rondo

[@MrCharly780]

@@Laxxus1 In Iga we trust, the road seems rocky but after how good curse was I'm sure ritual is gonna end up ok at worst and excellent at best.

[@LordoftheDice]

Isn't this game basically a prequel to Ritual of the Night? Sure, I don't think it will have the same party switching mechanics, which seems to break the game in this one, but hopefully people will find cool things to break in it, as well. I look forward to playing it and seeing speedruns of it.

[@Laxxus1]

The Kickstarter demo of RotN apparently was pretty broken and abusable for speedruns. I don't expect the full game to be the same but I'm sure there will be a lot of glitches for speedruns ;-)

[@roccosmos1913]

Koji Igarashi is gonna enjoy the heck out of this run

[@sbyamibakura]

I'm SO happy to see this game get more recognition. It's such a great game. It's the game that made me want to become a speedrunner and it deserves all the praise on it that it gets. Lets hope this is just the start for Bloodstained at GDQs!

[@Laxxus1]

I hope so too. There are many other really cool categories that deserve their show at gdq.

[@sbyamibakura]

@@Laxxus1 Absolutely. I'd love to see pretty much all of them. But I can't say I'm not biased when it comes to wanting to see Ultimate, with Zangetsu only, since that's what I run lol.

[@elijahfyffe5176]

16:12 the hits sync with the music

[@KanzRedDusk]

The hype begins at 8:46 - WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO You're welcome.

[@Laxxus1]

I love my Couch for this :D

[@sageoftruth]

Looks like they saw the Gaping Dragon from Dark Souls and said "Hold my beer."

[@VonFirflirch]

It's cool to see a speedrun involving multiple characters, and actually giving all of them a role in traversing through stages :D -looking at you, Little Samson!-

[@Bensch85]

Great performance, great commentary, keep it up!

[@droidBasher]

The final boss looks awesome. Such a cool final phase where you put the boss on a timer.

[@mahaok1]

Fantastic game in the C3 style as apposed to the symphony style which we get a lot of nowadays. Ritual of the night will be amazing if this is anything to go by and I will be picking it up for certain

[@ripbobbyhillmgo1969]

I honestly like how this game looks and plays a lot more than ritual of the night lol.

[@vir042]

Great run, have to try this game out!

[@Bada4ever]

Awesome! Thanks

[@Pedro_Kantor]

My GOTY of 2018.

[@sbyamibakura]

Same, for sure. SUCH an underrated gem.

[@AnvilPro100]

I hadn't played this game yet because I thought it looked a bit *too* retro for me, but the fact that it has a bonus mode unlocked by getting the bad ending is gonna make me pick it up next time it's on sale. That's straight out of Aria and Dawn of Sorrow, my favorite Castlevania games

[@laeeg7412]

AnvilPro100 24:40

[@MrCharly780]

Dude you are in for a surprise, it has multiple endings depending on who you kill or ally with, the best imo is the end of nightmare mode and the one you don't ally with anyone but don't kill them either, it's also Castlevania 1 hard because it forces you down the hardest path with no allies.

[@Chu_the_Master]

I would prefer a more colorful 16-bit version

[@JagAgemo]

This game looks awesome

[@RuthlessAvocado1]

Amazing game and great run.

[@jerberverc5959]

I love Punchy as a host

[@andersdenkend]

This game looks quite awesome actually.

[@BxCx666]

Yeah! I was hopeful for B:CotM run this agdq! Awesome!

[@CNightmare072]

Is no one talking about the amazing synch between the attacks & music @ 16:12?

[@PaulStryker]

In Three........ Two........... OneGO! Loved that part ^^

[@mittensfastpaw]

Really enjoy solid runs of this genre! Very nice! And a great couch! Any chance of none KZbin subtitles later?

[@the_black_swordsman7184]

picked up this game yesterday thinking I was buying ritual of the night and only realised after I bought it . . . . . . was not dissapointed this game is awesome

[@ScottySR]

8:45 Say hi to Hype Dragon

[@redkite1908]

*YEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!*

[@vincesarino]

great game

[@christopherjackson6634]

They make this game look so easy, goddamn. I mean, thats the point, but still

[@ChuckieT266]

2:14 Are we at the boss yet? Laxxus:

[@DeadCrescendo]

LAXXUSSSSSS GREAT RUN!

[@monotonedmika17]

i finished this whole game in all the difficulties without even using the axe or the freeze magic on bosses. now i know why i had a hard time.

[@Laxxus1]

Wasnt different for me on my first playthrough, did not use ice at all. But then again , I also did an Alfred only run with only his Clone ability ...

21:37 xDDD

[@OptimusVlad]

I wish they wouldn't have done a glitched run. Would have been nice to actually to see the normal gameplay.

[@Dracula737]

You could head to kotaku livestream for that. It costs even half an hour to do first stage

[@Laxxus1]

Well , I also did Speedruns of the game without out of bounds tricks, so you can check them out if you want. I just dont think they are as interesting and fun. But that's my own opinion. It only adds like 5 minutes to the run.

[@XelchanTheBrave]

@@Dracula737 Don't be cheeky. Some people like to see glitchless runs.

[@AnvilPro100]

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

[@elflordyt6830]

I STILL CANT GET PAST LEVEL 3!!!

[@Seama327]

I hope you didn’t give up. Truly an amazing game

[@vahntomaziniAI]

I don't believe it! it's slifer, the sky dragon!

[@hadesKIU]

17:11 Assuming he's referring to what. Think he's referring to, I love how casuals and speedrunners alike despise that room

[@jacewallace5552]

21:55 is anyone else absolutely triggered by that circle? It's freaking me the fuck out.

[@gmacgrows1676]

I can beat that in the same time if not better

[@kringhetto]

I think Curse of the Moon will be remembered for being a better game than the game it was a stretch goal for. I hope I'm wrong. It looks like trash though.

[@Cheezmonka]

What exactly looks bad about it?...

[@Sparty450]

@@Cheezmonka people dont seem to like the artstyle or gamespeed from the limited footage that was shown

I didn't like what I've so far but the latest updates show huge upgrades so I'm hyped about the main game! I think It'll end up being good and worth the delays.

[@EqualsDeath]

controls suck in this game..

[@DevNode27]

The game controls very well, actually. The biggest stickler for new players, however, is being unable to control your jump trajectory in midair, which of course is crucial for the retro Castlevania experience.

[@Laxxus1]

Controls are great. Its just that many people are not used to being committed to your jump like it was normal in many old games on nes and such. Only thing that sucks in this game are stairs but I guess that's basically also Castlevania Tradition.

[@RickC--gm2ch]

Get good

[@Semc_Sucks]

i cant believe people are into speed running. what a snoozefest

[@jaredliv]

What do you like?
