[TAS] DS Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin "1000%" by mtbRc in

[@1.N.Decent]

Ancient cartographers being hyperactive in their work. That's how they mapped our world.

[@Aladato]

For its length, one of the less vocal Castlevania TASes out there. Our ears thank you mtbRc.

[@ezgames6925]

[@akfolstad44]

Love the beginning part of the desert, in which 40 seconds of aggressive jumping is punctuated by a 5 second quicksand intermission.

[@JoLiKMC]

I've always found it eerie that when the game doesn't know where the player is, it defaults to playing "Faraway Days," which usually plays during the saddest of moments.

[@allooutrick8266]

Jonathan: "showtime!" Villain: *sweats profusely*

[@sdgdhpmbp]

Since it's confusing a few, quick explanation. 1000% refers to map coverage in POR. There are a total of 10 "worlds" in the game, the first being the main castle. Each one has its own map, and the save file shows total map coverage. So if you have castle at 10%, sand at 90% and circus at 50% (and say haven't reached the rest of the worlds), your save file will show you filled 150% of the map.

[@GentleBaller]

Thank you!

[@sparko9662]

I think 100.0% would be an accurate number

[@FiveBagsOfNasu]

@@박강현-k9k It's an optional boss fight, after you purified the vampire sisters, talk to them to start the Richter boss fight, which awards you the true power of the vampire killer whip.

[@cletusmcyeetus5975]

(0:12) - If you have a R4i Revolution cartridge inserted to your Nintendo DS (or Lite), and loaded Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, then reset the game after going to the title screen, it will only show the Konami logo before going to the title screen. Pretty cool unusual starting screen, huh?

[@WillowEpp]

Ahh yes, Portrait of Ruin, my favourite pinball game.

Finally! a 1000% :)

[@KimeramonRocks]

i wonder how people ever figured out there is a glitch that seemingly allows the protagonists to accelerate upward at an astonishing rate while bypassing floors and walls.

[@Thesaurus_Rex]

Probably some lunatic did it on accident, then they (or someone they told about it) figured out how to replicate it. Or somebody looked at the code and found an exploitable vulnerability.

[@jruler93]

What do you mean? They're just spamming the high-jump, and they're only going through the thin floors and breakable walls.

[@Thesaurus_Rex]

@@jruler93 We're talking about what happens at 3:00 where, after reloading the file, the characters hurtle upwards through the map, allowing them to enter the Throne room super early. Happens a few other times in the TAS too.

[@HBombThe]

Dodging the Persephone's by just moonwalk-swapping through them has to be the most swag Castlevania maneuvering I've seen

[@nahnah390]

great if this is 1000%, then what's it called when you get every artifact/sidequest/hpup/mpup/etc?

[@sdgdhpmbp]

1000% is just map coverage. Getting every artifact might make it into a definition of 100% since that counts as permanent inventory, and the rest all depend on how categories are defined so it's quickest to check them yourself or ask someone speedrunning POR. Either way, a 100% completion is a definition that differs between casual players anyway. Is it getting to the end? Beating all bosses? Doing all quests? Getting all relics? Filling the monster encyclopedia? Spells/Subweapons? All subweapons mastered? 1 of every obtainable item possible? 9/max of items? It depends on you. For me, it's all I listed except 9/max. If I like a game, I want to see nearly all of what the vanilla experience provides.

[@palidopali]

1100%, since apparently each "thing" adds another 100 to the total

[@jruler93]

@@sdgdhpmbp For me personally, I'd consider PoR complete when you do all the Quests (which would necessitate getting all of Jonathan's Sub-Weapons and Charlotte's Spells) and explore 1000% of the map. Getting every single item is a thing I usually do when playing a Metroidvania that I like, but I don't consider it part of the completion experience.

[@edward9487]

Fleaman wants to know your location.

[@wraithofavici]

Jonathan: are you my brethren as well? Charlotte: Just find us at least on master's keep or somewhere.

[@kl4969]

[@RedPandaTables]

Why the fuck did this get accepted but the 100% Circle of The Moon Castlevania run got rejected because it wasn't entertaining enough? Paraphrasing but the judge reasoning was "you enter rooms just to leave them, run not entertaining to watch". This is why TASVideos is seen as a joke. Not even the judges can agree what a run should be and the on site rules literally been broken countless times to the point where literal rom hacks are allowed. Out of everything to be strict about TASvideos put good runs into the shadow realm while being extremely loose with the rules they themselves had set. Hell I went and literally got the exact run I was talking about, see for yourself: tasvideos.org/1678S.html If anyone a fan of TAS I highly recommend keeping an eye on the rejected run list. Some of them are outright better than the stuff that is getting accepted lately. For the record I have no gripes with this video's run. Just TASVideos's staff double standards really piss me off because the runners hours of work get rejected and we the watchers are missing out on a ton of amazing runs because of shitty judges who let their personal bias decide their judgement. I think any% Pokemon and OoT TAS are stupid but I can acknowledge that they are indeed the fastest way to beat those games. So let me have the 100% runs that I am a fan of.

[@Terkzorr]

[@Buti1986]

Absolutely insane, I would love to see this category but without the warp glitch, I think it brokes a bit the meaning of a 1000% when instead of looking rooms you are warping around.
