Finally a REAL Castlevania SotN Speedrun World Record (

[@linksaya]

It looks like Alucard is DESPERATELY looking for a bathroom.

[@DillonMatthews-w6l]

100% hes really good im on the mobile version still trying to jump up the room from the big clock

Maria: I will only date you after you defeat Dracula. Alucard:

[@wax99]

Alucard, you need to defeat Dracula. Yeah, give me about 15 mins.

[@psn_poppinblaze]

Hey bro...I used to play this game once a year. It truly is my favorite game of all time. Watching you break parts of the game after all these years, for me, was a treat. Thank you so much for this playthrough. Truly impressed with the playthrough.

[@chrissutton2586]

I play it every 10 years ❤ Greatest game ever made

[@dr4gonblitz]

Hey streamer heres a tip. If you stop making mistakes you will finish with a faster time!

LMAO!!

[@krillin6]

You might be onto something there!

[@Obversechaos]

For anyone who doesn't know, you can get Castlevania SotN on mobile, if you'd like. I'm a huge SotN fan and I just found out, so I figured other people may not know either. Happy vampire killing.

[@spiderchopproductions8172]

The speed with which you're optimising this new route is amazing. The 15:26 is so close, it's kind of unbelievable. Really well done - congratulations.

[@vini.ferreira]

Someday we'll watch a documentary on KZbin about a World Record of how fast Castlevania: Symphony of the Night's World Records got broken by the same man.

[@syzzle342]

Someday Summoning Salt might do a History of Castlevania SOTN Speedrun.

[@pinkertonpunk]

That would be fun

[@eddiejeffrys1985]

Use the clock subweapon and freeze the timer. Instant world record.

[@tkpat3893]

Just found this channel, and I got to see a new world record. Congrats! Keep grinding for more records!

[@OmniscientWarrior]

He held the wr for this game for a long time, but that was before being able to get to the clock tower sub 7 min. Funny story about that, he was practicing to see if it can be done by humans because it was doable by tas and he accidentally was able to do that while making mistakes. He wasn't ready. You can find those videos on this channel. And this is his second channel.

[@solomongrundey]

i don't get how that company can look at this amazing game and say , lets never do anything like this again.

[@monkeybum1984]

Except they did like 4 times on the Gameboy.

[@Final_Fantasy_7]

​@monkeybum1984 but it will NEVER be like SOTN or better....just close but no cigar

[@Actraiser1]

@@Final_Fantasy_7only because nothing can match sentimental feelings and nostalgia you have for the game. I’ll always love SOTN too, but DoS and OoE surpassed it for me if I’m being honest

[@zerikafox1595]

@@Actraiser1 DoS wasn't my jam, but PoR hit the spot instead. The DSVanias were just sorta generally boss.

[@Actraiser1]

@@zerikafox1595 Oh hell yeah! PoR is a masterpiece. I really hope they come out with a Castlevania DS collection at some point 😁

[@stayhumble1111]

had no idea that upside down world even existed! that was an impressive run

[@llemonVar]

You made me fall back in love with this game enjoy your runs very entertaining always learns something from watching you wanna take up a lil speedrunning to challenge myself

[@christianomar92]

12:08 Ritcher skip was SO FUCKING CLEAN my goodness !!

[@bigdaddyww1]

Death as you go sailing past “am I a joke to you?”

[@noodlez6661]

Man your playing is outta this world. I'm playing this again after not playing sotn for like 10 years. I'm playing this while my kids are asleep. I'm amazed at how fast you can manoeuvre your way the castle.. yikes!! Keep it up brotha 👍🤙

[@spriventube]

GGz on the new WR. really close to that goal time!

[@minkah683]

Dude these runs are super exciting. Glad you are making these improvements

[@rapidevolution]

🐟 Please alert YT that it is broken. Typing "joel" in the emoji menu leads to "no emoji found". This is an obvious error!

[@embrezar]

I love SOTN, it's easily one of my favourite ps games. I even bought Requiem on my PS5 just so I could play it again. Watching you wreck this game is so unusually satisfying; I watched your GDQ run, I've seen quite a few of your videos and love them. Btw I never realized how broken this game is... I think I'm not dextrous enough to land those frame-perfect tricks, but you've given me a new way to view the game.

[@maohzio9549]

I recently finally did my first Richter skip 😭 I want to give all my thanks to you

[@ravenfirepheonix]

Absolutely perplexed how he’s beating the bosses in seconds. Man, I couldn’t even pass the 2nd boss for ages. ‘Git good’ doesn’t even describe it!

[@robphoenix1182]

He frame skipped to keep the mother's heirloom sword. Strongest sword in the game.

[@robphoenix1182]

He frame skipped when the mother's heirloom sword gets taken. It's the strongest sword in the game.

[@zakarypembleton9666]

I was considering speedrunning SOTN, and this video humbled me quick. So thank you for that

[@Visi-68]

Fandamtastic DB it was pretty smooth this time GGs WR❣️

[@Grindspine]

Nice glitches. I just tried a few of them on this playthrough. I already knew of the wolf jump glitches and was able to use those. The fairy-garnet glitch is epic.

[@75Golgotha]

GG's! Great run, and a lot of fun to watch.

16:03 Dracula: How is it I was defeated in fifteen minutes?

[@ritachikorita6916]

Surprised there was no Shield Rod, then again I know very little about SoTN speed running. I just know how busted the Alucard Shield spell is in regular play, and it’s location in the Coliseum area.

[@miasma82]

Nice run! Greetings from Sweden

[@Yore0]

GGs man. You're putting in some serious work with the new route.

[@eversonfifita4795]

Wow i have never seen this game played this way that was sooo fun to watch!! Congrats on the record that was tough!! ❤

[@kyoks9317]

1:02 joel doing his best to be the best emote. joel for president!

[@zhillsdaniel]

Your merchant interaction around 9:30 blew my damn mind

[@KonopKg]

I was playing this game endlessly for years, beat it to the full 200.6% and I do not understand couple of things. For example how did You achieved reversed castle without beating Boss wearing a special glasses which will allow You to see the orb and then after destroying it You simply unlocking the castle ?? In You speedrun it doesn’t really matter what armour or weapon do you have and I thought is crucial and necessary to fight with higher enemies in upper castle. It looks impressive but is really hard for me to understand what’s the point of collecting all of these stuff when You are Killing everything on 1-6 hits.

[@arman13javier]

He used the glitches to skip parts of the castle that requires some objects (i.e. Holy glasses, gold ring, silver ring, and relics) to access. This speed run is so fun to watch. He must have played this game gazillion times to be able to acquire this level of skills. 🙌🏻

[@JJfreshOfficial]

wow, u earned my sub. Amazing

[@rafaelbordoni516]

It's so funny when a new tech is so huge it causes new WR so unoptimized that we get to see a new WR every day and we still haven't got to the point where everything is so optimized we don't even know where to improve yet.

[@ChrisMMaster0]

Beat the game for the first time 1 hour ago. This is INSANE.

[@gbirung]

I love this game. PS2 days... I am impressed with the speed run. Great job

Incredible first time seeing a sotn speedrun

[@Ouijawii]

Hey Dr4gonBlitz, this is a very cool run, grats on the PB and WR! The new clock skip and route is really fascinating. I'm thinking of learning this speedrun, and was wondering if you could suggest which emulator I use to play the game. Thanks!

[@carltonleboss]

Nice work!

[@SS21.21]

Nice trip!. Very fluid, i like it!.

[@maohzio9549]

That's a perfect clock rush ! right before it closes !

[@viviblue7277]

I still don’t understand why the run unequips the lapis lazuli, is the extra 20 possible crit damage not worth the frames it take to scroll up to the other accessory slot or is the extra crit damage potentially detrimental for the consistency of a strat?

[@OmniscientWarrior]

The number of hits it takes to kill some enemies doesn't change, and many enemies he isn't going to kill because leveling up takes up time. That is also why he kills the first "two" bosses at the same time, so he gets 2 levels but one animation. What could help is getting more crits when fighting the bosses, but that isn't something we can change much. caveat for that, the first two bosses would more crits be nice only if it doesn't prevent them both from being killed at the same time.

[@Dimian7]

Damn you’re always so chill with wr 😂❤️ Can’t wait until you really feel like: ”this was fukn perf! This may be unbreakable”

[@PNKYRINGS]

This is a glitched out version. Clearly.

[@LenaLemes]

I wish I had half that talent, the best I've ever achieved was one hour and thirty-four minutes. Congratulations.

[@RetroTuna]

Spectacular run congrats.

[@tamarockstar45]

I love this game and I never knew the bat could do that.

[@XCATX25]

With a reset + rng manipulation for the meal ticket strategy, would a person still be able to do WR or the reset would lost too much time?

[@Fyshtako]

The movement at this level is so damn satisfying. Good work.

[@bobjones6154]

nice work my man

[@GhostHostMemories]

is there a place that details all the various steps/theory on how to do these speed runs?

[@juanpablofajardoramirez1008]

I like how DB even speedruns the code input hahahaha

[@adhdartist1994]

he is going so fast that is going backwards! And also thriller-thriller-thriller-night-fshhh

[@zerion7787]

Just a couple of skeletons watching from a distance: Is that Alucard? Also is Alucard DASHING FUCKING BACKWARDS ELIMINATING EVERYTHING?!?!?!?!?!

[@kungfusteeze]

Super unrelated to the run, but watching this after replaying Rondo of Blood made me REALLY want a version of that game with the Richters move set from SoTN. Or another full game with him as the protag, in this style. 🤷‍♂️

[@JamesWilliams-gv7zd]

Best Castlevania ever

[@equious8413]

Have you tried hitting the buttons a little faster?

Damn, we're gonna have to start scouring the bible for new passages around the 15:20 mark.

Keep it up still have some time to shave, it's all rng man the more time you put in the better it'll be stay positive have fun! 🎉

Dude, how are you killing them so fast? Melting bosses with ease

[@adi96adi]

How was the whole richter / inverted castle cutscene segment skipped?

[@universogamer7343]

Very Nice!

[@IoninginryuI]

Is the gear cheated? Honest question! i remember taking forever to kill some bosses you killed with 2-3 hits. Also how how did you get so many garnet rings?

[@robphoenix1182]

That one I want to know too. I could follow most of it. Some of it though felt way off. I don't remember there being an infinite item hack.

[@wanderson3212]

​@@robphoenix1182get the Faerie Card, don't activate it. Go to the Master Librarian, and before entering the room, stop moving and activate the Faerie Card. Wait for her to talk, and as soon as she begins talking, enter the Master Librarian room and go to the sell ring option, select the ring AND open the menu! Now equip the ring, return to the Master Librarian and sell the ring, close the sell menu and open again, and sell all the other rings

[@botenhaa]

Big Respect

[@Mr.Kittles]

What did that cheat code do? The one you used for your name..

[@eduardofreitas3222]

Lucky mode. It lowers Alucard statuses and HP while giving him 99 luck. He uses it to perform that big Toss against that 6th wolf to skip death

[@reportimortal]

Good boi, book.
