[@ProfessorK78]

Arcus has quickly become my favorite speed run streamer. He has a Bob Ross gentle quality in voice and presentation that I love. The sound effects and little songs are great. Great bleeps and bloops.

[@CatManDoom84]

Agreed!

[@PhoticSneezeOne]

It´s just devastating for me. Arcus just casually runs through segments of the game that took me WEEKS to master as a child.

"Yeah, I'd like a medium pizza. Yeah, uhh... mushrooms.. and black olives.. aaand.... clunk. Yeah, yeah that'll be all. Okay, thank you!" ;D

[@webste03]

That was a good clunk... I mean pizza.

MICE! 😺

[@gregpenismith1248]

That sounds like a disgusting pizza. All pizza should at least have pepperoni.

The crust wasn't golden, But it was close

[@rodrigotrotte282]

I love this game. Castlevania 3 is the best of Castlevania Nes games. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@vksasdgaming9472]

In technical sense it is best, but daring shift of gameplay in Simon's Quest gives it strongest influence of them. They are all great and OG Castlevania has best cover.

[@officedullard8722]

Nobody ever does the True Man's Alucard Route through the Sunken City of Poltergeists.

[@zerkgoober]

Amazing progress on this game after not even finishing it before. Great job Arcus!

7:06 "might just be the next best thing, but not quite me"

[@jc6218]

Such a good run on such a hard game. Congrats!

[@rexierabbit3280]

Great run, Arcus!!

[@rf-cattleprod6207]

Arcus is still killing it all these years later.

[@Punchable-Face]

The Castlevania speed runs are my favorite one's to watch, and Zelda

[@Canadas_Very_Own]

Nice! Been awhile since I’ve seen you do this game.

[@mattigator600]

Starts banging head at the "clonk" because of the soundtrack

[@OldMovieRob]

You have to be the most mellow gamer the YT algorithm has ever suggested. Great stuff!

[@alpac2376]

Masterful peformance my dear sir! 👍🤘👐

[@Vosh_Halen]

Way to go, cowboy!

[@srt5490]

My favorite streamer too. Very pleasant to listen to and has excellent gaming skills. Once again, relaxing and pleasant to watch. Love your stream mate!

Awesome. We love your videos. 💙🤍

20:33 the Seinfeld quote caught me off guard XD

[@Sykotic777]

Arcus great run, have you ever thought about Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 1 and 2. Very much the same vein.

[@danielbrennan5872]

Loved this game and achilles

I've never played this.... BUT DAMNIT. MAYBE ITS TIME TO GET BACK INTO NES

GG!

Old time favorite Was sweet when they added the ability to change character also

[@OkAIok]

Correct answer on favorite toppings….well done

[@CobraVice]

crazy PB there, i feel if there was a more safe way to run those owls you'd be able to sub 30.

[@lordcolinb]

Best music

[@TheFaustianMan]

I used to transform into a bat when I was younger!

[@davidbermudez7704]

Every time I hear the background music of BLK 3-00 I get sad because I was playing Castlevania 3 during the Pandemic 😢😢😢

[@lukasblur3500]

I used to play under the covers during the Alucard stages because the music was too scary.

[@joel230182]

mushrooms & black olives. Mine too!

[@hitmangfx7162]

14:00 Count Chocula vs Frankenberry for all the marbles

Aaand clock ❤️ Great run, 😎

Lol i clicked this by accident while watching a different streamer streaming a different game, but I'll be back because this guy looks hilarious

[@asinbrokeasajoke]

A strat that may save some time is: Instead of walking to end of staircase to climb it, jump through the staircase holding up and angle of which u wish to climb, landing on the 3rd or 4th step. If u do that to every staircase you can save time throughout the run.

[@jstewart627]

Interesting. That looks better than part 2, which I finished at age 7 when shown to duck with red Crystal. I consider battletoads to be the best game NES version, and yes, I paid $60 or $80 for that when it came out and was able to fully complete it, so so so hard, but to finish that back then, wow. Final Fantasy 1 was excellent also, not the remake on PSP. Zanac is a good one to see if you have the ability to dodge. I had a nice neighbor who had 100 games who would exchange with me. I could not really talk that well back then. He did find me when I started to talk on KZbin. Strider is an awesome NES game, somehow I beat Ninja gaiden 2. Later in life but had to use the save function for Ninja Gaiden 1. Showing Ninja gaiden 2 to my daughter was kind of like a horror film. I played through it many times for her acting out the voices and she would always cover her head when the girl gets stabbed. I completely forgot I wanted to act out the voices for a video. I am worried that I might anger people if I speak like they do in a bad 80s film, the voice for the FBI would be funny with a southern accent, a real proud one. And for the girl, a voice of a unicorn fairy princess.

[@dorpth]

I've had a love/hate relationship with Alucard in this game. He was a neat idea, but for his path they stuck you with the absolute worst levels in all Castlevania, and they were often designed that you couldn't take advantage of the bat power. So they gave you this cool toy, but never let you use it.

[@MistahJigglah]

Id love to see a Sypha run

Nice run, try the harder quest when you use the name akama its frustratingly hard!

What does bloop, bleep and clunk mean??

the moment i realize i could be doing this instead of my daily job

[@justavian]

What's the difference between this and the Any%? I don't know anything about this game. I see that the Any% record is 14:49. Whereas the Alucard run is sitting at 25:42.

[@levelengineSR]

Any% does a wrong warp in block 4 to skip half the game practically

[@MrJerkkeri]

@@levelengineSR That any % glitch is crazy. Alucard has to be the fastest complete run since turning in to a bat will drastically shorten the game.

[@levelengineSR]

@@MrJerkkeri if you're not doing 2nd quest it is, but Grant can just go faster than anyone else in general but unless you already have him (such as in a 2nd quest run) as a partner you have to also play the entire clocktower for him.

[@milan777777]

Of all my NES games, thats the only NES game, I never could beat, just to difficult and the controlling is awful, and you running through it like a god, amazing!

[@AboveEmAllProduction]

Control is great and fluid and its not that hard

[@FoxxMulderr]

What's WR time?

[@SideBurn12]

Alucard% is 25:42. Arcus is in 15th place atm.

[@xmikerx666]

Is there any game you actually suck at? You know, like us mere mortals?

Arcus!!!❤️

good clunk

[@meskalin64]

I never completed this game but the first 2 i did. Is this the hardest of them 3?

[@RadiCalRaCer]

Hey Arcus. I have been watching your youtube uploads for a while now... Would you ever consider doing Super NES? Thanks

[@bultronlagore4932]

Awesome job! I’m 43 and have been a big fan of Castlevania series since the first game released. The series on Netflix was very good except I don’t ever remember seeing Alucard getting screwed up the a-hole but an Asian dude in the series. Just more forced woke political propaganda shoved into our entertainment where it doesn’t belong. I have no issue with any race, sex, or gender affiliation in life or in the entertainment (movies, shows, video games) that is produced for the masses. What I do have an issue with is when they force it in things where it shouldn’t belong. Also the mass race swapping from white to black is getting annoying as well because it’s been happening a lot. If you have an issue with this wokeness then you are labeled as a racist or Homophobe which I am not. We have messed up double standards that so many are in denial about. Imagine if a new Blade, Black Panther, Luke Cage, Malcolm X, A Different World, Family Matters, etc came out and they were played by a white dude or white cast. There would be a HUGE uproar yet vice versa is celebrated. Need examples of this? Let’s see: Catwoman Batwoman Nick Fury The Wonder Years Steel Magnolias Henry VI Julius Caesar Johnny Storm: F4 Agent J: Men in Black Kingpin: Daredevil Ford Perfect: Hitchhikers GTTG Mary J Watson: Spider-Man Heimdall: Thor Robert Neville:I Am Legend Jim West: Wild Wild West Annie Miss Moneypenny: Skyfall Bennet Marco:Manchurian Can. Harvey Dent: Batman The list goes on and on. James Bond and Superman will be added to this list soon. Look at what they did to the show The Last of Us. Race swapping from white to black as well as making Bill a homosexual which we get to see him making out with a dude and the start of a male on male sex scene in episode 3. Where was that in the first video game that they are making the show after? They did 💩like this to the Willow remake, the new Lord of the Rings show, The Hogwarts Video Game, New Saints Row, etc etc etc. If they would make new original entertainment that involved poc, homosexuals, transgender then that’s awesome but constantly changing source material around in order for a woke agenda is not right.
