No Hit Challenge Playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PL5SwsDGcTXkz-EJzeF2omOqw_5nbYrkeo Extremely proud of this run! For these challenges, I am defining a "hit" as when an enemy or stage hazard deals damage to the player character. Additionally, for Dawn of Sorrow, I decided to disallow Final Guard and Blocking Mail.

Ure the best

[@lilcherryblossom]

I’m one of those “just wanna watch the game” kinda people, and boy did I pick a good one to watch! Congratulations!

[@Man_Person_Best_Hero]

congratulations! Beating a boss without taking damage is pretty impressive, but the whole game? Now that's just a certified epic gamer moment

[@JuggoJuggo]

This is ridiculous, to do it speed run style, such aggressiveness for a no hit, amazing. Other speed runners are lucky Jupiter does only Castlevania games.

[@gavdrans]

so many nail-biting moments in this run! amazing job! super fun watching you crush one of my favorite games from my childhood :)

[@stevestewart5460]

Probably the most enjoyable run I've ever seen of this game. Congrats.

[@Markell1991]

I watched the vod of this run this morning. I think there were a few butt-clenching moments; I really got invested in the run! Congrats on the great playthrough.

[@PrincessColumbidae]

Wow! That was awesome! You had some close calls there, the stolas summon at the end would have been the worst. And I never thought of using Zephyr like that. Congrats!

[@winteriscoming88]

Even though I knew going in you didn't get hit, I was still nervous and tense the whole time. Good show.

[@shirukumizu]

You know, I’d watch a video/stream of you trying to recreate the entire DOS map from memory. That would be fun

[@naitoyoru]

Never saw someone be so scared of a "Flea" then a speedrunner who does a No Hit run :'D

[@wheatleythebrick2276]

havent watched the whole thing yet but gotta say this is really cool, plus its nice to have constant commentary despite the amount of focus this probably took

[@ROCKsaru1998]

Congrats! Seeing al those atemps and tge evolution of strats like une farm for yorick or using zephyr for the harpy room... I miss the stream because i was working TT_TT

[@ryozaki96]

Same I had no wifi

[@Eva1337]

Incredible run! Full run, no hit, close calls, but phenomenal play! Fantastic job, my dude! Making us long time Castlevania fans proud!

[@alx0tl]

I love how the video ends with "I am so happy" Congrats, jupiter!

[@MaskedGuyCh]

Finally got around to watching this, and as usual, it was a good watch. Congratulations, this was very impressive!

[@LeoKRogue]

Dude, this is insane! Congratulations!

[@DanRamirez]

Congratulations, there were moments that made me skip a beat, out of sheer fear that you might take damage, it was riveting aside of the farming sections.

[@mr.pyroland4144]

I had no idea that the yorick soul could do that much damage. I thought it was just a gimmick

[@forgiveman]

Congrats. Great run. I hope to see the OoE No hit run soon.

[@akujitheforgottenone5824]

Best Castlevania player ever! I'm eager to see Order of Ecclesia and Bloodstained in a distant future

[@matt12a]

You are so good at this game. Well done

[@yumaoverstar]

Insane, congrats on the run!

[@gogogadgetrectalpunch]

AWESOME job, man! Congrats

[@xDARKSHADEx]

Absolutely legendary

[@someonespc269]

Narrator: “0:18 little did he know this is where the grind ends too”

[@xDARKSHADEx]

Can't wait to see you demolish the rest of the games like this!

[@senddeym2208]

Even I was nervous during the last fight.

[@giovanniprovost]

Grats man nice run

[@salomonico]

Congratulationsss

[@illustriousekoodina6137]

Does a 100% run without getting hit seem insane lol

[@RyujiRoyalSkull]

NOOOO I missed the livestream for the run!!!!

[@MudFan]

intended% but chad

[@Kikikongkun]

love u man!

[@BoltTheEmolga]

I W A S T H E R E

[@pehhii]

So.... Does the flying armor with last second change to devil increase damage on Gergoth?

[@BoltTheEmolga]

I know this is really late, but dropkicks increase in damage the longer/further you fall - Flying Armor makes you take longer to fall increasing the damage, then Devil is just because Devil broken.

[@pepperonipeesah4084]

lets fucking go bro ggs

[@sofern2681]

Awesome content, the thumbnail kinda ehh tho.

[@ZuhayrSIslam]

This content sells itself, I don't think you need to do much for the thumbnail on a No Hit Run

[@sofern2681]

@@ZuhayrSIslam thumbnails always help. I just think its an ugly thumbnail, this video deserves better

[@JupiterClimb]

@@sofern2681 I tried to go for something clean and straightforward. My other idea was simply having the box art with "No Hit" text somewhere, which I've seen on other no-hit runs. Plus, this is the only speedrun category where you'll see the Death Scythe super, so nice to show that off. I'll take this feedback on-board for the next No Hit thumbnail (probably SotN).

[@JupiterClimb]

Just updated the thumbnail, hopefully people like this one better.

[@joelpatatah7820]

@@JupiterClimb it looks great

[@blackhogarth4049]

I only just now realized, since you used a lot of zephyr this run, that even the way the colors go negative when time is stopped could be a Jojo reference.

[@hugojmaia]

I'm curious now, have you done a run of Dawn where as soon as you hit the garden you drop the skelerang soul and then use nothing but throwing weapons? It's a different experience.

[@kovax653]

Can anybody explain how he had the rare ring from the start?

[@BoltTheEmolga]

Looked it up because was curious too and because he used it in more recent runs, it’s a dual-slot thing if you have Aria plugged into the DS too.

[@movezig5]

"Learning to like coffee by itself" sounds pretty similar to Stockholm Syndrome to me.

[@SolidusSnapes]

I’d love to see a good playthrough without that silly back dash movement. It’s faster, but it looks dumb as hell.

[@DeceptiveSS]

No glitches? *sad Megamind*

[@alucardsantradideus267]

No hits? Happy Megamind

[@haydenhayden]

Have you considered speed-running Bloodstained: ROTN?

[@grooves9291]

you should totally show chat in these videos.

[@Thariorn]

Totally unrelated to your Speedrun here: Man do I dislike the spritework in Dawn of Sorrow. Everything seems so smeared and I really can't understand why. Is it due to some sort of higher FPS thing or so? Because honestly, Aria of Sorrow, with its way older/lower resolution and overall lesser specced system with the GBA made its sprites look soo much better. It is the main reason why I thoroughly dislike Dawn of Sorrow. Now, on another note, nice run

[@Mistadobalina1004]

I understand what you're saying, I personally hate the looks of that underground water area...
