Can Speedrunners Beat Castlevania SotN Without Transformations?

[@majorseamen7446]

Cow skip was legendary

[@mt_fun7403]

A real legitimate runner would take the couple of seconds lost in order to keep the Cow spell alive.

[@Dr_Cosmobyte]

WHENEVER RICHTER PULLS THAT GUN I LOSE MY SIDES FOR HOURS

[@XperimentorEES]

3:03 That gag still gets me XD

[@localSunMan]

Absolutely insane. Dracula must be both seething and proud of his son for his desire to fuck up his resurrection in the most rule-denying ways possible.

[@Veserius]

The way you visualized the shift lines was really nice. The first few times I saw them noticing the screen difference was hard, having it highlighted makes it very very clear what was going on. Your graphics game is really leveling up every video, good stuff!

[@MacVanish]

Cow skip lives on in our hearts, and the low% gravity boots only run

[@bobsledboytrwzz9615]

Quick tidbit if you ever do decide to compare every version of symphony it’s only got 3. PSX, Saturn and PSP. The Xbox port is based on the ps1 version and requiem and the mobile version are based off the psp port

[@llikeafoxx]

Love that even after all of this time, new, truly unique SOTN speedrun categories can pop up. So cool.

[@jessejacobs]

Lol I cant believe how much this 1997 game had stashed in it. Elden Ring and many others would not exist if this masterpiece was never created.

[@chernobyl169]

I'm mad at myself for not clicking this video the first 3 times it was recommended by the algorithm

[@bignono1486]

A video where you cover all the versions would indeed be intressting.

[@TheNo1pencil]

Agreed

[@Wecoc1]

Hey, algorithm? *Toc, toc* Hello? Wake up dude, more people should see this.

[@sapolefrog1736]

So much work goes into these videos. And you can tell

[@MarioLopez-xs3vc]

Leave it to this legend to find the "true" purpose for the Requiem port's existence.

[@Patashu]

Now that's a good fucking category

[@asdHeyB]

0:43 < hours? i gotchu fam: - PS1, XBLA: good - the rest: bad 😌

[@sirrando]

I initially investigated this, but couldn't figure out a way to drop the mist. Great job!

[@Keremene440]

420 hearts, the just right amount for a PSP NTSC version of this game Great vid!

[@xsouldriverx]

I still really love these deeper dive videos. Theyre informative, well thought out and paced, and the narration with the gameplay is great. It is obvious how much work is put into these. I am looking forward to more!

[@Pepe_da_farmer]

Rip cow skip, gone but not forgotten

[@SHADOMEGA7569]

I thought i was crazy with the death skip as i accidentially discovered it on my own as i believe it also worksnon the PS1 version but only in luck mode. All i did was head towards deaths room then doubled back to get the potroast then went back through only to discover i didnt lose anything. Also good thing know the DXC version is just as broken

[@SolarFlorad]

I put this on while lying down a d feel asleep three times before finally finishing it today. Your voice is very soothing DB. Thanks for helping me with my insomnia!.

[@Rushiryu]

Awesome! It's crazy how fast the time is in this version, and with no transformations no less. Cool run. Also cool is how you hit us with Mario 64 culture and Forbidden Memories OST followed by Shadow The Hedgehog OST. My man!

[@nicolasalvarez8716]

I enjoyed every second of this vid. Hope some day try this way of gaming. As many here, castlevania is part of my childhood and present. Never gets me bored

[@ahmadchoirul660]

I love ur video essay format

[@thedude5295]

Damn. 37k subs. I got bored of watching SOTN speedruns a while back and just saw this vid pop in my feed. I think when I subscribed you only had like 300 subs. Good for you.

[@thygod]

Thanks for reminding me that my PSP bricked itself ages ago.

[@dacosmicbrownie]

The editing was top notch! Super informative and interesting as always!

[@kmg9763]

Love those in depths "tutorial" videos. Nice!

[@Tedpikel]

Congratulation!! This blew my mind off.

[@YEs69th420]

SotN is just this perfect little storm of jank and I wouldn't have it any other way

[@karially3820]

Next Video: Richther skip with secret boots and grapes

[@Catman_CM]

Get your engagment, DB! Thanks for the quality content and putting in all the effort you do!

[@NalaKuki]

Superb explanation and run!

[@saragossareturns6221]

Cool!

[@dr4gonblitz]

Thank you!

[@sashaesb]

gz man! keep up the good work

[@anthonycousineau5205]

Your edit are improving so much! Keep at it love wathcing your videos!

[@lucidstudious750]

Everytime i see this game i still find it crazy how my dad 201.6% it when it came out IN JAPANESE without any internet or game manual. He doesnt even speak Japanese 😭😭

[@plagapong]

I really love the way you explain the gliches, Thx man

[@bigdaddyww1]

After both my 360’s red ringed it’s been 10 years since I played I had to download that Jank version for ps 5 but after watching you I acquired the stuff and installed the randomizer today on my lap top. Defiantly enjoy your content 👍

[@mr.s9668]

Just finished the vid. Really great work DB. Impressive as hell

[@therogueserafim271]

Great video, man!

[@ryanpinkus1338]

I played a lot of the PSP one. mainly cuz the death skip was so easy. Didn't know about those other glitches. So I guess I'mma try it

[@hydracicada5992]

quick save warp? that's crazy

[@godofawsome02]

6:53 Shadow the Hedgehog OST hell yeah man

[@pehhii]

Super awesome vid DB! At 11:20 after killing Medusa you do something to cancel the shield rod spell, correct?

[@dr4gonblitz]

opening the menu cancels the spell in this version of the game

[@danelowo7309]

Great video. Glad to see you get some use out of the PSP version of the game content wise. RIP cow skip.

[@christophervent2811]

Great new run DB!

[@Nero_Jero]

Amazing. It always blows my mind how people can figure these glitches out.

[@calebvanstelle4984]

The leave the room death skip also works on mobile

[@jruler93]

Yeah, because the mobile and PS4 versions are both based on the PSP version.

[@augustoalmeida223]

Gonna leave a comment to the algorithm see good interactions, btw great video, i love your content ❤

[@LtCdrXander]

Super excited to watch this! Love your content. ❤

[@LtCdrXander]

Looking at my comment now, it kinda looks like the generic comments that bots leave on videos, but trust me I'm being genuine lol

[@nintendohunter783]

Great vid DB

[@Dimian7]

Awesome DB ❤️

[@TheNo1pencil]

This was a great vid

[@Dang0thebepis]

So well presented

[@micheldepaula8733]

Insane stuff 👏👏👏

[@reaper84]

That's some insane tech

[@shahabbas2894]

Unfortunate algorithm didnt hit right, good video

[@PKFat]

Cow% when?

[@jackfrost884]

Main channel upload?!

[@gebeiras]

just came here for the cow skip

[@CAnAbrAvA2011]

Tiger LED game speedrun when?

[@Stasy809]

PSP just proving itself to be goated

[@RekoPrime]

Fantastic video DB, your best ever (yet) I'd say! Good thing "DBdaily's" latest video recommended it to me since the algorithm didn't.

[@Biyte]

o7 Cowskip

[@Chino-Kafu]

Goat of SOTN. Almost.

[@Mirokuundead]

It's funny how adding Quick Save just destroys the game XD

[@LeonMadrid]

Please can you still using cow skip until the world record of this mode is in danger?

[@typ01d]

Never forget Cow Spell skip 😢

[@damiens4601]

Man i was replaying the psx version, I didnt know the psp looked better -_-

[@Qsdfeel]

Nice video

[@edgecolthearts8096]

They nerfed maria but forgot to Nerf the glitches

[@OneOfTheSwarm]

RIP Cow skip Cow :(

[@christianomar92]

Commenting for Al Gore, I heard he LOVES SotN speedruns

[@helltioeverygames]

Yeah i was expecting glitches and no normal run,if you do normal run you won´t be able to make this happen.

[@jruler93]

Without glitches,there's a whole lot more you have to do, and the run is more than twice as long.

[@Michael_Dominic]

reminder to poopoo peepee for the algo this vid deserves more views :D

[@ඞඞඞඞ-ස9ම]

algo bump

[@MrDark086]

While i appreciate the effort in remaking the game i cant for the life of me fathom how anyone considers it the superior version with the odd sound effects and new script. Maybe its just my bias from growing up on the OG

[@LtCdrXander]

That was my sentiment with FF7 remake as well, so I guess we'll always prefer the OGs we first played since the OGs are the games that imprinted on us. Then again, maybe FF7 is a bad example because the remake is completely different than the OG lol Also, your pfp looks super cool. I like the art style and the colors

[@MrDark086]

​@@LtCdrXandernostalgia's a hell of a drug lol i personally havent finished the remake yet nor the original though i came close to it. FF8 being my first Junctioning made sense to me but materia i just cant seem to grasp. One day ill beat them both. Thanks lol Wormboy made this one for me years ago for Halloween and its been my brand ever since. The only alternative i use for it is the Necoarc version of it on my channel banner that Ferr did recently

[@LtCdrXander]

@MrDark086 lol I can't imagine playing 8 first because to me 8 is unplayable! But if you enjoy it I'm happy for you. My dad also dislikes 8 so maybe it just runs in the family lol. If you have an SNES or an emulator, I would HIGHLY recommend you check out Final Fantasy 6 at some point. It's the best in the series in my opinion, and while it's a bit unforgiving at times, the music, 16-bit graphics, characters, and story are AMAZING!!! Sorry if my excitement is cringey or something, but I just love FF6 lol

[@MrDark086]

@LtCdrXander now see thats the funny part lol i have the woolsey version on my snes emulator and ive played a lot of that one along with 3 and 4 as a kid and enjoy them a lot! I still wanna finish 9 and 12. I did manage to finish 13 but i was near zombified by the end of that slog lol

[@jruler93]

No, I'm pretty sure the only people who think the DXC version is better are people who've likely never played the PS1 version.

[@RJ_chaos]

Joel

[@eldri7ch]

I am engaging!

[@fae_gavan7582]

Would it be possible to do all this on the mobile port? Just something I thought about to spice up the run.

[@Jezuboad]

Probably possible if you had an external controller, unless konami changed the buffer system again

[@Breakbeat.]

Nice

[@gamermadness8501]

Cow Skip

[@Mirokuundead]

CowSkip!

[@syn4441]

💪🔥

[@mr.s9668]

First, also, thanks for the vid

[@Mirokuundead]

comment for better algorithm

[@LordButtersI]

🐄

[@aaron-n]

🐮

[@ThaneCranefist]

Not first. :(

[@SullySadface]

It's just as broken as the original game.

[@vxicepickxv]

I think it's more broken personally.

[@jruler93]

No, the ways you an use and abuse the quicksave feature definitely make the DXC version much more broken than the PS1 version.

[@Panda_SMM]
