Castlevania SOTN Maria Speed Run in

[@AddressUnknown666]

Thank you Maria, but your Hunter is in another Castle.

[@fqueirozf]

That explains a lot!! Like why she was always one step ahead of Alucard throughout the whole game!!! LOL

[@AstorMOrtiz]

But it doesn't explain why does she love Alucard,i want to fucking know it.

[@MrZangetsu468]

Tiller King Because he’s 6’5 and hot in the face...

[@1985WUCT]

after all these years, you guys make me laugh! LOL

[@oscarRifa]

@@AstorMOrtiz because he is fucking sexy, no homo.

[@user-ms5tq1dh7i]

Tiller King because he completed the map, duh

Maria stopping Dracula in ten minutes or less or your money back.

[@iamironman320]

@Gustavo Guerra yes

[@ElRufiantheUnwantedNousagi]

Now i Know why she moves around the castle like a walk in the park

[@cybergames2579]

Alucard:I will end this,mother.I will defeat my own father. Maria:There's no need for it Alucard, I passed through all the castle and killed him in 10 minutes! Alucard:Ok th- Wait what?

[@osaka8157]

@@mutoit10 Me lmao

[@newgameld2512]

She killed Shaft, not Dracula.

[@alaud-dinahmadshah8926]

Technically she MAY have done so, but she have not knowledge of the future at that time (the map of the castle and the puzzle keys), whichever of them who have possessed such knowledge can beat dracula in a minute. In fact when you first met Maria as Alucard she was just figuring out how to navigate the complex castle knowing very little about its maze.

[@rawheadxfiles5017]

Lmao

[@Rassenomatjutut]

Should Sotn remake be ever made, these need to be included: 1) Maria mode 2) Richter mode 3) Sega Saturn areas 4) Vampire Killer, Bloody Tears and Beginning 5) (if it was up to me) Simon mode

[@azh698]

Interesting. Would Simon be Richter without the special moves, or would he have some sort of special gameplay?

[@Rassenomatjutut]

@@azh698 Richter without special powers. Storywise, he would be ghost of Simon sent from Heaven, and in castle entrance, theme of Simon from Super Castlevania 4 would play instead of Dracula's Castle.

[@azh698]

@@Rassenomatjutut A capital idea! It would be a little like porting Simon directly from C IV, especially if you can do the whip tricks.

[@HoneyBunchesMcLover]

Every Belmont ever: "DRACULA IS SO HARD, BUT I GOTTA DO IT!" Maria: "This is what I call a slow Tuesday."

[@svartfrasr9755]

Sweet Jesus and I thought she was a monster when they finally gave us to her on PSP. Seeing this I still feel ripped off now xD Maria's an absolute beast

[@dejadejod3rYT]

She's broken lol

[@fairydust1397]

No fun in being too broken thou xD

[@samyabandeiralima8999]

You will be see best and to give precious the Who maria is and see yourself because really is you beast

[@morrigancollins2092]

Seeing Maria... WHY are the Belmont clan believed to be the best vampire hunters? Because all the mages in the franchise have been serious ass kickers.

[@the_snakelicious]

Richter is more OP, there's a 6 minutes speedrun with him.

[@actual_mel]

5*

[@zippityzop]

Our lady will finally be in a television show. I hope they do her right. Maria's so cooooool

[@TSHTSMusic]

Alucard: ****! I got these two rings and solved massive puzzles and fought scary monsters to get here, and all you had to do was jump around as if you were in a field of daisies?!!?!?! ' Maria: Umm... Yeah. Alucard: ****! I'm not saving richter, you do it!

[@poopoop121212]

In the playstation version you always wonder how Maria even survives in the castle... But now we know... It's because she kicks ass o.o...

[@JamessmithDuel]

She could've beaten Dracula before alucard even got there 😂

[@nvmberishere]

So I don’t know if I’m just seeing things but does she have moves in this version that she doesn’t have in ps4?

[@RedHairdo]

@@nvmberishere Yes, totally different character. PS4 is based on her PSP iteration.

[@babypizza3903]

Without the lag and Sega Saturn loading time prob could have cut at least 20 seconds off.

[@MetalSonicodraco7342]

Baby Pizza Bad porting design, but still cool.

[@it.s_audrey]

She is so cool. Its so sad you cant play as her on the playstation version. ;-;

[@hectorvelez1546]

actually,you can't. Maria is only exclusive in Sega Saturn version and not the Playstation version.still it would be awesome if Maria was available in the Playstation version.

[@themojogamer75]

Hector Velez You can play as her in the PSP version in Dracula X Chronicles, but she's more in-line with how she plays in Rondo of Blood. I was originally gonna say she was nerfed a bit too, but I've never played the Saturn version nor played as her in the PSP version so I can't tell 100%.

[@hectorvelez1546]

well, Maria is either OP or just"seemingly' broken. don't know why Maria is so fast... too fast for Alucard

[@ValentiaAlm]

Tony Cardoza The ps1 doesn’t have “A” and “B”???

[@hectorvelez1546]

@Nintendo First Order Reaver same here...weirdly enough Maria is exclusive on the Sega Saturn and not on the Playstation since Sega Saturn and Playstation are big competitors at their time on the gaming business. you know what they say: "Sega have what Playstation don't" i think...?

[@silentreaverx]

I always thought that it was stupid that you could play as Richter and Maria right from the start in the Saturn version of the game. I think it would have made more since to be able to play them after beating it with Alucard.

[@renyuuzu]

I didn't know you could play as Richter in the Saturn version

[@ZapWires]

Well, richter and maria are different kinds of challenge, richter is easy to use and ultra powerful, but dies quick. Maria doesn't die as fast as richter but takes more skill to use as she has complex spell combos and less power.

[@Ancaja123]

I ALMOST played as Maria by of this, and didn’t know much about the game. I most definitely would have not thought much of the game if it was like this! Though im now enjoying speedrunning as her.

[@capcomman1]

She was overpowered as a little girl in the prequel Rondo of Blood as well.

[@SmoothJK]

WTF she's like a cheat code lol

[@RCDeschene]

Absolutely! And it makes me roll my eyes to see people complain about it or give comments like these Thumbs Downs. I cannot understand why people complain that a character is "overpowered", especially extra mode side characters like Maria. No one seems realize that when an extra character mode is more powerful than the main, it's deliberate. that's actually THE main reason behind it, the reward of playing the game again, but with more godlike power and technique than with the other character.

[@BknMoonStudios]

I can see Maria carried on the tradition of breaking every game she's in.

[@berserkchip]

3:21 Yooo she hit'em with the Fireball Jutsu, the Chidori AND the Lion's barrage XD

[@ExileOfSand]

with all the times she hit her head i'm surprised she didn't get a concussion

[@trolololololll]

Maria can kill dracula faster then you can say "what do you here"

[@vdogaymer]

My jaw dropped as how easy and fast you made this game. I never played the Saturn version, but Damn! Mario is overpowered!!

[@tangentingtangerines5709]

+vdogaymer Of course Mario's overpowered. One hit kills everything he steps on.

[@johnsimon8457]

eat your heart out samus

[@Trosgustav]

As a massive fan of the metroid franchise, I'm inclined to agree.

[@psovegeta]

I wish they would have kept Maria's game mechanics the same in the PSP version as well as included the missing sections of the castle. I also miss the cheesy voice acting from the PS1 version.

[@samyabandeiralima8999]

Excellent good to know still have People maze you! !!

[@michaelsong5555]

Jesus she's powerful. Too bad she's completely depowered in PSP version. In PSP version, she loses ALL her magic, and instead, some spells are now her sub-weapon (all her spells-now-in-subweapon-form are way worse off, in both power and hit box). She also loses ALL her invincibility attacks. She also sucks at doing/taking damage significantly. The list goes on and on, to the point she's completely new and worse character. Finishing the game with her is pretty much impossible, since she sucks way too much.

[@TP-rb3vs]

The psp version was very bad, i mean, you cant harm even a medusa head, the only (and maybe) good about her in psp is that kind of fast movement with L and R, but no more. The only thing that for me look very memorable was the way of going uppwards with the little bird

[@zzasdfwas]

Isn't challenge good?

[@TP-rb3vs]

@@zzasdfwas well yeah, but the point is something equilibrated Low resistance = Very Strong Low Power = Good resistance But the Psp version of Maria is not equilibrated, Bad resistance, Low power and bad gameplay... In other words Esa chica en version Psp es completamente inutil e injugable

[@hollyfindlay4051]

I was able to finish it with her, But she is absolutely downgraded... And the Shaft fight is a nightmare... Easily the hardest part of SotN, in my opinion.

[@mahmoudhaji]

I think you just suck really bad at the game.

[@MetalSonicodraco7342]

I like how Konami loved to insert Gradius references on every of their games haha. So... The most OP spell of Maria is a Flame Dragon from Gradius (Maybe Salamander) nice. Nice Speedrun BTW, those Bad porting designs are a bit annoying but still a cool port.

[@tonywong8134]

What is that theme in the beginning? It wasn't in the PSX OST.

[@SunnyTacos]

Damn she's pissed!

[@condorsmart5390]

What’s the music at 0:54 ? Is it a remix?

[@TreJowy]

So THAT'S what it would be like to play as Maria...thanks for the upload!

[@CMfox16]

@cannongaming Creo que es de Sega, siendo sincero ya no juego castlevania ,asi que no te puedo decir donde conseguir el juego, pero el emulador recuerdo que se llamaba Yabause o algo asi...

[@RCDeschene]

@jamiljamtheman I honestly don't mind the PSP Maria too much, it's just, I not too thrilled about the new sprite and Richter's attribute downgrade. Maria looks so tacked on now and Richter isn't the powerful vampire hunter that he's supposed to be...

[@SuperbFairy]

Can you play as Maria in all versions?

[@jrvbamafan1]

Wren Frost no just Saturn and psp

[@raylentcross8203]

Is there an area called garden gazebo in all japanese version?

[@Rheinmetall1]

02:59 So I was not the only one who had trouble in those corridors. Even you got hit! :)

[@icaliver]

I wonder whatever happened to her afterwards? I wonder if she was she related to Belnades or lacards. I would hope she had descendants who help in the final battle in 1999.

[@hollyfindlay4051]

Look up Castlevania:Nocturne of Recollection for details about her after this game, and all we know about her bloodline is that Rondo of Blood (or maybe Dracula X, but I thought not, as it claims she is Annette's sister) mentions she is related to the belmonts, albeit distantly. Descendants are not mentioned at all, so I doubt her bloodline was involved in 1999.

[@dabber7470]

Marias kick is strong already, you can cheap out bosses with owls and her superjump is like richters.

[@nvmberishere]

Kudos! I’m still working on my Maria run...not easy as it looks by any means

[@Revivedwolfhajime]

Este juego me marco para toda mi vida no creo que ni en 5 años más se supere este juegasoo

She's nerfed though 😕

[@MrZangetsu468]

Maria: The only character since Sonic to outrun the screen 2:51

[@RCDeschene]

@jamiljamtheman I said that because that's usually how it happens. Then again, this is kind of like a "SOTN FM" where the main target audience are people who've already played the original. Maybe Richter is better now where she's been watered down in the PSP version, but then again so wasn't Richter himself a little bit. Either way, both of them really pale to Alucard once he gets the Shield Rod...

[@RCDeschene]

@jamiljamtheman It doden't matter. She's an extra character. she's SUPPOSED to be more powerful than the main one.

[@grindguy]

What's the difference between Castlevania Symphony of the Night and Castlevania - The Dracula X Chronicles (CSOTN)?

[@silentreaverx]

A couple of glitches were removed, and the sword familiar is in the location that it's in on the Saturn version. the Nose Goblin and second Fairie familiar were also added. You can also play as Maria in the psp version however she isn't the same as in the Saturn version. You also have to fight and defeat Maria as Alucard in order to get the Holy Glasses.

[@grindguy]

Thanks, man!

[@ProLaytonxPhoenix]

+brentreddish Don't forget the two extra areas are still a Saturn exclusive.

[@silentreaverx]

+Peace Walker I never stated that they were in the psp version.

in maria mode u cannot acquire relics so the designers gave maria the ability to open blue doors from the get go.

The reason that she doesn't fight Dracula is because she killed him with only pigeons in rondo of blood

Después de ver esto, hasta da pena ajena que le hayan permitido a Alucard intentar derrotar a su papá. Lo que para él fue una épica aventura de lucha, exploración, recolección y crecimiento, para Maria solo fue como ir a sacar la basura.

[@gv82089]

Alucard estaba sin su armamento, recuerda, Death se lo quitó al inicio del juego. Además, Alucard es canonicamente más poderoso que ella y Richter
