Serio's Castlevania Fighter: Simon vs. Dracula (Nightmare, No Buffs)

- 31st Castlevania video by me. :o
Beta IV is rolling out some time this month, so I felt like making a special match as a sort of send off to Beta III and some of the big changes it brought about. The best way of doing that? Going back to the beginning. :P
CV4 Simon has pretty much everything from the SNES game, and a little extra (super jump, evasive roll, backdash, run, herb sub-weapon, whip spin). Since he's a bread and butter character, he's easy to grasp and pretty fun to control. No fancy crashes or button combination moves, just good ole' sub-weapons and 8-way whipping (although I don't really whip diagonally that much here). :]
Dracula has gotten pretty deadly with the latest patches, and definitely keeps you on your toes. The first phase is easy, no explanations needed here. For his demon form, try to get behind him when he uses the flame waves to minimize damage intake, and kill the poison bubbles as soon as they come out too. He brings out his A game for the third phase though. Watch out for the wolves! They'll set you up for ass rape from Drac's other attacks if you're not careful. Otherwise, dodge, attack, and pray. ^^;;
Enjoy: Comments, feedback and criticism are welcome. ^^

[@barnonekingston5719]

This is the most incredible display of any Belmont vs Dracula, ever. This finally shows Dracula’s awesome power. I’m speechless.

[@CyberDragon10K]

Yeah, Serio's game really is something special. There's been significant updates since I threw this video up years ago, although active development has ceased and the game is open source last I heard. It's still worthwhile to download and take a look.

[@TheMrFunkblaster]

Holy Shit!, THIS IS THE BEST SIMON VS DRACULA FIGHT EVER!!

[@mikuhatsune8121]

This fight is the best

[@irregularzero9537]

It's that kind of epic battle that I immagine Simon had against Dracula. I mean, Simon fought Dracula alone at nearly full power, it must have been one hell of a battle.

[@ashwolf2006]

and won with only a scratch.

[@Sirjezza]

Felt so much satisfaction and hype when Simon's theme came on with him knowing Dracula is done for. Well done

[@DSFARGEG00]

Or: the day Dracula decided to fight like a touhou boss.

[@IchiroFuma]

If it's on Mugen, is the data available someplace? This Dracula is a Badass.

[@ganerike7910]

This is happening again in Super Smash Bros Ultimate

[@CyberDragon10K]

They look so GOOD in that game too. Can't wait for December to roll around. :D

[@echidknux6738]

Best Castlevania Fighter video Ever!! And the best part is when Simon's Theme plays at the 3rd Phase of Dracula. Glad that you chose the Arcade version of the Track

[@Shin_FTW]

2:36 gave me epic goosebumps.

[@marcobiondo5357]

Dracula shake in front of Sir Simon Belmont because he know what’s its destination already, the Hell monster! 🐉

[@gara1045]

That was a great job with honoring the castlevania franchise

[@juanvelasquez9295]

This is exactly How I imagined that battle went Just like this. Difference is He left almost dead broken too be exact. Blood running down his face and his arm Broken nearly shatterd.

[@NrgyEcho3zone]

The simon's theme was soooooooooo amazing !!! And what a fucking damn difficulty !! holy hell lol

[@CyberDragon10K]

The music in this video is custom (that's what the annotation at the beginning says). You don't hear Theme of Simon when you fight Dracula in-game... although Theme of Simon IS used as Simon's theme for versus mode and when you fight Simon in survival. :/

[@irregularzero9537]

Order of Ecclesia's Dracula is the best sounding and best looking Dracula yet!

[@pauloa.7609]

Still epic asf even after this long. Legendary game

[@Legohaiden]

god damn at first it was like they both were testing each other out... then shit got REAL as the fight dragged on. Towards the end it was an all out brawl to the fucking death... what a sweet display of 2d action!

[@GnosisZX]

Dracula: Damn it got my ass kicked for millionth time.

[@PrivateOGITH]

i have Never Seen this game Before.

[@Iohannis42]

Dracula's laugh sounds too cheerful.

[@Dyz89]

holy heaven im going to be the first comment in quite a long time, im here to send you back the support you gave me :3, im surprise how well you can do this i have a hard time with certain bosses in this game even on normal difficulty sure once i learn their pattern they become easy, but i still get cought off-guard hehe great playtrough ill be checking out your more recent videos although your old videos need some hugs too :3

[@Jaggedfire]

I wonder which lantern Corp Dracula be in, I’m guessing either Red (Rage) or Yellow (Fear)

[@Jaggedfire]

@@RiddlerSubliminals or perhaps yellow too since people fear him

[@dioshoes9096]

Bro that looks awesome!!! I wonder why you stoped making vids

[@CyberDragon10K]

@MightyKombat Not completely sure on the details, but I'm fairly confident Olrox will finally have his second form, Blackmore will be in, and there'll be a couple other bosses alongside a handful of extra playable characters. :S

[@HeroBreak20]

The best part 🗿 2:19

[@CyberDragon10K]

1. Type "theme of simon arcade" into KZbin's search bar. 2. Hit enter. 3. ???? 4. Profit!

[@LightForce105]

they pretty much have all the characters except shanoa. do they plan on adding her into the mix in a later version?

[@CyberDragon10K]

@LightForce105 I ripped it from the ROM of Super Castlevania IV. As for where the ROM is, you're on your own for that. :x

[@irregularzero9537]

Castlevania used to be so cool.

[@davidgalan1803]

Drácula mirando a Simón y diciendo, hoy pelearé de verdad a ver qué pedo... A no mames yo podía hacer eso? Jaja

[@kranseltron]

como ai para q salga ma musica de super castlevania 4 de simon ???????

[@CyberDragon10K]

@spider394 Not recently, but I have been able to clear Arcade mode in the past using 8-bit Simon. :P

[@CyberDragon10K]

@MightyKombat Trevor is a fair bit off. As he is from the Metroidvanias, he'd be a Simon sprite swap, and since no one's taken up translating his CoD gameplay to 2D... >_> As for 1.0, maybe when the final build is released. The release candidates have been extremely RAM intensive from what Serio has said, taking up to 2 gigs of RAM because of the increased .WAV sound quality. :x

[@ventuswill2847]

hey, if you're still alive, I was doing coop castlevania fighters against Easy difficulty, and I was wondering if you know how to counter Dracula's Demonic Megiddo EDIT: Also, is there a way to choose a specific boss to fight?

[@CyberDragon10K]

Dracula's normal Demonic Megiddo is a charge-move where he drops everything he's doing to charge up the blast. You'll notice his MP bar drains completely when he begins this move and that's your visual timer for how long he'll take to blow you up. To interrupt it you basically attack him until he stops and decides to do something else. Click on the below hyperlink to figure how to fight specific bosses. You'll need to reload every time you want to fight another boss. serio.piiym.net/cvbla/board/index.php?topic=196.0

[@ventuswill2847]

i see, thanks for the help

[@ventuswill2847]

Btw, how do I pause the game without switching to another window which just resumes the game when i go back on it.

[@CyberDragon10K]

The Pause key on your keyboard will pause the game. I forget if it can be mapped to a controller if that's more your thing though. When I was more active I pretty much played this in a straight shot with just keyboard; WASD to move and NUMPAD for the 6 other buttons. Killed my wrists though. Dx

[@ventuswill2847]

Oh, I think I might of screwed up. I assigned 2nd player start button to Rightshift, which is the pause button EDIT: Nvm, rightshift doesn't seem to work no matter what EDIT 2: Seems my only option is to use the on-screen keyboard EDIT 3: Nvm, I found out I can pause with fn + shift

[@supersteelpokemon]

@Animemaster11nf actually, it is life steal, a move in OoE sound mode but not in the game (dark metamorphosis and soul blast was there)

[@juanpablofernandez3235]

hola alguien tiene e link de esa version del castlevania 0.3.10

[@CyberDragon10K]

@MightyKombat I asked about Shanoa, and she won't be in until Beta V at least. :/

[@CyberDragon10K]

@NeoSoftwarePWNXORZ Hold start and press the sub-weapon change button, depending on how you've actually mapped your buttons in the configuration settings (the engine calls it either "Z" or "C"). :]

[@Patrick11nf]

If you do any demo 4 vids, are they gonna be with english or japanese subs?

[@Drachenxx]

Cool Dracula got OoE attacks.... epic

[@DamianAhmadi]

Where did you pick the song that starts at 2:36? :I. I've been looking for it everywhere ~

[@aeirialechols3852]

God makes his angels spirits

[@CyberPunk0range]

0:19 to 0:23 Simon does Gangam Style lol

[@napalmelderlich]

-spoilers- and he lived happily ever after, only one problem, dracula is still alive XD

[@CyberDragon10K]

Castlevania: The Arcade, Theme of Simon. A user named BelmontVladTepes has it uploaded. :P

[@megaisaiahx5223]

is it a real game

[@irregularzero9537]

+Mega IsaiahX Serio's Castlevania, it is a Boss rush type of game running on the MUGEN fighting game engine. It's pretty impressive that the creator used a fighting game engine to reproduce the control and movement patterns of dozens of Castlevania characters very accurately. Alucard plays pretty much like he'ds play in SOTN, same with Richter who retains most of his input moves intact and Item crashes. Look it up, it's not an adventure type castlevania with levels and such, but you rush a great variety of bosses.

[@NeoSoftwarePWNXORZ]

How do you change Chronicles Simon to CV4 or NES Simon? I keep pressing the button I assigned start to at the character selection screen, but I never see any changes.

[@DraculaCronqvist]

Ah, delicious Japanese voices, how I love you so.

[@NeoSoftwarePWNXORZ]

@CyberDragon10K Got it. I can select CV4 Simon and Rondo of Blood Richter now. How do I select their third forms?

[@boymancinder2000]

That demon dracula is the most epic form. OoE second form is just the absolute scariest. Who gave him legs?

[@CyberDragon10K]

@Animemaster11nf Likely japanese, because I'll be using the old version of the demo. :/

[@Raylightsen]

That dracula is epic, but is way too broken due to his ultra mega speed. Nerf his attack speed. The game is not designed for you to be evading every 2 seconds.

[@TayobkTailz]

So the Super Castlevania 4 Dracula Music replaces everything else eh? hmmm...ok ill go with that. and yes, Shanoa should be an available character in the next Beta.

[@TheDragonColony]

what cstlevania games plays this simon's theme at i been looking for it any help plz

[@CyberDragon10K]

@NeoSoftwarePWNXORZ Hold down the start button as you select your character. :]

[@TayobkTailz]

oh wait...edited...never mind! lol :P although it would be awesome if it was edited just for Simon, especially since i love Super Castlevania 4.

[@CyberDragon10K]

I don't speak Spanish. :/ Search for Akumajou Dracula/Castlevania: The Arcade. You should find the theme amongst the OST uploads people have done. :]

[@TheBanishedWind]

1:16 What would he have done?

[@CyberDragon10K]

"Asobi wa owari da" is commonly translated in the series as "play time is over." It's a preface just before he either transforms and fights you in his demon form (which he does here) or with his full power (which he does once you beat his demon form here).

[@TheBanishedWind]

I was talking about when he says it in his second form. (1:16) I've never seen that attack finish, and I don't have the game myself.

[@CyberDragon10K]

OH. He does a big, fiery body charge that deals a significant chunk of damage if you don't interrupt him. I haven't touched the game in ages, but I think you can super jump after a double jump to dodge it if you're quick (the fiery body charge has partial vertical tracking). Most people do not want to get hit by that thing.

[@v31l24]

Is better than the supercastlevania's fight. But, the same error, Simon song in the last fight. Simon song is not bad, but i don't think that is a good song in the last fight

[@Hadith357]

Who you are very good at this game i am so shocked

[@RodrigoRamirez-wr1gt]

Old school

[@LightForce105]

where do u get the first BGM from?
