Castlevania: Symphony of the Night by Dr4gonBlitz in

[@ndro_gyny]

This is one of the mechanically most impressive runs I've ever seen.

[@alanhersch4617]

Dr4gonBlitz is actually goated. it is kind of nuts.

[@andrescruz8445]

bro, being capable of doing those frame perfect glitches and explain at the same time is so godam impressive, Dragonblitz is amazing

[@cellularautomatFI]

This run was so smooth. I’m always in awe at how skilled speedrunners are and Dr4gonBlitz is one of the best.

[@roguebanshee]

Not just smooth, several of those floor clips are quite finicky and only one or two required multiple attempts. That's amazing in a marathon setting.

[@chuck_jotsugaming6755]

My favorite story is I got this game from a friend in 2000. He didn’t like it, so he gave it to me. I loved it. I was telling him one day all the cool stuff I like and then I told him I got the inverted castle, and his reaction was “What inverted castle?” Best free game I ever got.

[@voltcorp]

lol we have very similar stories! I had a rich friend who always got new games (I had a sega genesis still) and he immediately disliked SOTN just because it wasn't 3D so he gave it to me when I got my PS1. one of my favorite games of all time to this day

[@thesterndragoon9159]

Absolutely AMAZING run of one of my favorite games. Thanks Dr4gonBlitz and GDQ!

[@xemplari-kdkt]

Clean run and great commentary, ggs!

[@vinivaskinho]

That was insane. Congrats on the run, DB!

[@Tingfyhod]

Yo! Big love for DBDaily... oh wait, his evil twin? lol

[@xenosaga8436]

I don't know how anyone finds these convoluted methods of skipping around stuff. Finding the skips seems hard enough if you know they exist. Finding them by accident, then replicating whatever you did to do it again seems impossible.

[@jruler93]

To be fair, the game's been out since 1997. 27 years is a lot of time for millions of people to find glitches in a game.

[@bananaslamma35]

Some glitch hunters crack open the game and look at the code. Others have a general deep knowledge of what usually works out and how certain fundamental aspects of game design work. And then there's the truly dedicated guys who literally jump and bash their heads into every wall they can find in order to find the spots in the wall where the collision is fucked up enough that they can skip something.

[@rv3660]

😎

[@mcdiaz30519]

Read the code.

[@raineiramparo2543]

It is really amazing watching DB speedrun while doing commentary. Very informative and entertaining. WP DB

[@FortisMaximus]

Dr4gonBlitz is so freakin good at this, not just the speedrunning but presenting and explaining and being generally charismatic. This was an absolute joy to watch.

[@FamousMortimer]

This runner / couch team is legendary

[@RadicalAirways]

Nice job, DB! Good to see you and SOTN at GDQ!

[@DoZiDoz.]

Idk how this popped up on my feed but I’m so glad I clicked on it. This is so impressive and to find all those little glitches and perfectly timed frame glitches is so insane. I wonder how many hours this dude has on this game

[@heatart]

this is absolute insanity. a masterclass of knowledge and execution.

[@PanicOutFun]

Insane playing and commentating by Dragonblitz! Great chemistry with the couch too. I forgot how excellent SOTN is. So beautiful, way ahead of it's time.

[@matthewvonhofen]

I watch dragonblitzdaily daily, and yesterday I watched this live and today I will watch dragonblliz daily again.

[@ManaBirb_0.1]

I always love watching Dr4gonBlitz speedruns. He's so thorough and descriptive, makes any run extremely approachable.

[@buracoretro]

O jeito que o Dragon joga e ainda explica é surreal, o bagulho tá no sangue do cara...GOAT

[@mrgoober6320]

Yo, Dr. Foregone Blitz? I love that guy.

[@djpunkIIDX]

dude speedran the commentary as well. well done

[@weswarhammer9713]

An amazing showcase of extremely difficult glitches performed by a true legend!!

[@futhum]

The great Dr. 4 Agon Blitz!

[@Wecoc1]

Amazing run! DB is the GOAT of this game.

[@Grimm_ytb]

Wow, congratz Dr4gonBlitz for the amazing run, it was really nice to watch

[@roberthiltz2741]

Wish it would count for me to watch this one thousand times and like it each time! You are awesome DB, GG !

[@r4tbu564]

Congrats DB! Doing the tricks while walking the audience through is one heck of a task and you made it look easy.

[@Schwaby69]

Easily one of the best speedruns I've ever seen. Love seeing SOTN.

[@llikeafoxx]

What a cool run! Thank you for featuring it, SGDQ!

[@davewebster5120]

Razor sharp. This guy plays this game constantly, he has worked his ass off to be thing good and it shows.

[@DragonSamurai182]

34:50 - Who knew X-Com math would be applicable in a SotN run?

[@JSoul]

Hands down one of the best speedruns I’ve ever seen, love this game

[@gazzgaspay4841]

Back in my childhood, the inverted castle was just a rumors in our city. I replayed this via emulator and finally did it. Turns out its true. Pre internet video games are awesome. Discovering secrets is a lot satisfying.

[@richardericlope3341]

Perfect speedrun as always. Loved the commentary DB.

[@brandocho_]

Adoro ver las runs de Dr4gonblitz, una locura! Saludos desde México 🫰🏼

[@sesongo]

Man! Dr4gonblitz is such a nice speedrunner/streamer… he just have it in him.

[@ericbob5360]

So clean on the skips - 3/3 on the wolf floor clip was *chef's kiss* -- GGs DB

[@luisyanez6261]

Super metroid runners: we can do our bosses in reverse order Symphony runners: we can also do that. Kinda

[@benderibsk1]

Dude Dr4gonBlitz, cool to know SOTN is your fav game of all time, mine too bro, like you said is a total masterpiece, one of a kind.

[@forgiveman]

Let's Go DB! An awesome speedrunner to watch.

[@shelbyherring92]

Absolutely stunning run... But real talk: that Hank Hill impression was on point. Congrats to Xen.

[@Jadriam]

Doppleganger40 killing Doppleganger10 is really quite logical: the first time you beat him [in normal order], he kinda gets drawn back into the mirror/portal he came from as he dies. Defeating him in the inverted castle just wipes him out in both instances as he has no mirror-portal to use for escape there.

[@potatomatop9326]

impressive. He's 9 years faster than me in clearing sotn.

[@taa347]

Dr4gon is one of the only streamers who I feel comfortable enough with to watch stream casually which sounds stupid, but I'm stupid. Either way it's really nice to see him here. Great run!

[@Abesteroni]

I like to think NakeyJakey consulted Dr4gonBlitz for his episode on speedrunning, it's absolutely spot on lol

[@Bruno-kk3yk]

This is what we need. Thanks GDQ

[@MerrorCat]

Always enjoy the SotN runs ❤

[@mugogrog]

Just to be clear just the regular inputs that are performed seemingly with ease in this run are extremely difficult. The glitches are just the cream on top :D Insanely impressive run all together.

[@spiderchopproductions8172]

Yo it’s my boy @Dr4gonBlitz - honestly one of the best technical speed runners in any game

[@gabrielsegura626]

What is a glitch?! A miserable pile of frame perfect (skips)

[@BarbarossaSC2]

Woo Dragonblitz! He is one of the most thorough runners of many categories.

[@vini.trindad]

DB narrating impeccably while playing hardest shit is unbelievable

[@benjaminmartorana7552]

Unbelievable. This made me I'm much less of a pro gamer than I thought.

[@greenhowie]

Always good to see a glitchy SOTN run, good commentary as well. Shot in the dark but if anyone knows how to start with 90 health let me know - did it once as a kid and have no idea how it happened. Thought it was collecting 99 hearts but maybe there's a time factor or it's a PAL version difference.

[@eduardosantos2477]

Damn dragonblitz normal speedruns are already awesome but this one was absurdly fun to watch

[@kiki-quest]

such an incredible run, so much skill on display. really good energy from the couch too. also, Northernlion reference at 56:34?

[@NoriMori1992]

57:20 I've never played this game, but this room is so beautiful (stained glass!) and cool (parallax!) that I looked it up just so I could get a better look.

[@Monstylicious]

Awesome job, DB!

[@AdAce21]

just an incredible run

[@xsouldriverx]

Great pic of DB on the thumbnail. DBDaily could never....

[@Gomaaaa]

20:43 "Bro, you could be making all this up." 😂

[@noisepolice]

"this is all 100% real"

[@drovja]

I too am a human-like creature. Such a relatable couch!

[@dljworks]

Congrats my guy! You made it to AGDQ!!!

[@knuthansen8524]

taht is actually teh most amazing sotn run in human history!

[@seba_85]

Blitz SOTN speedruns are like rocket science thing.

[@ghosttrick2374]

My boy dr4gonblitz love your runs my dude

[@Max_Casual]

This is the most speed run in speed run I have ever seen

[@leonardogsperin]

Propaine prooopaineeee, propaine prooopaineeee

[@turtlekappa7141]

Welp you made it DB!!! Congrats!!

[@haactgaming9687]

Nice! 3 things I like. GDQ, SOTN and DB content!

[@FlucasP]

Awesome display, done quick. 👌🏻

[@SuomiGameHUB]

This reminds me of when Raistlin goes back to the Palanthas Tower after Istar.

[@jgrocket]

When I played this as a kid, I thought they called him "Beezelbub" as a play on words because he commanded bees. But they weren't bees! And then I thought I Berenstain-remembered the typo incorrectly and it was always Beelzebub, but because of this run, no. It was indeed Beezelbub.

[@robertliu4222]

such good energy

[@rufnek3124]

this run was like a lecture on castlevania SOTN but interesting

[@UsedToBeMontclairBullying00]

01:04:00 lotta money went into that Hank Hill impression

[@komur4092]

crazy run

[@GoodNormals]

Highlight of the event

[@Khaz666]

Looking good as always dragon

[@Cybothron]

He's back!

[@PNW_Marxist]

[@SolarFlorad]

Well done DB!

[@Oshow77]

Amazing!!!

[@maroonsr20]

[@patrickstar8617]

And I still can't figure out how to use the elevator in this game

[@3dhYT]

Impressive skills. SOTN is my favorite game.

[@shuhurbuhur]

Great run

[@keatsYoyo]

[@kyoks9317]

[@darcy501]

I got algo blessed. Thank you.

[@willisthebird]

Hell hea got the homie up there.
