[TAS] DS Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin "Old Axe Armor mode" by mtbRc in

[@BanprestoPurgatory]

In this video, a VERY confused animated suit of armor frantically swings its axe around in a castle, knocking pieces of furniture, food, and living creatures about while attempting to figure out where it is. Eventually, after waking up from a blackout episode, it finds itself standing in front of a dying Dracula, unaware and just as confused as before as to where it is.

it isn’t animated

Funny part is old axe armor is actually a female.

@@DemoniteBL Lesbian axe armors can exist, too! (Nothing against you, just wanted to make sure the axe armor knew it could love anyone it wanted to.)

Ah yes, two frame dash dancing is my preferred method of travel as well.

b ah yes another melee player.

Story in a nutshell: Jonathan was out sick, so they gave Michael Jackson a suit of armor and an axe and sent him off to slay Dracula. Some say you can still hear him moonwalking through the halls of the castle, if your brave enough to go there and lucky enough to not get moonwalked to death.

[@concrete_river]

Many people scoff at the Old Axe Armor, little do they know it houses an engine for smooth motion apparently.

[@ke8mattj]

The Church: Jonathan, this will be an arduous mission. Take your Vampire Killer and Charlotte with you to defeat Dracula. Jonathan: No thanks, I'll just take Axe Armor's armor and axe. I'll be fine, trust me!

[@caitchuu]

True lol

I wish more games had wacky extra modes like this one. Sexy unlockables are getting rare in general, nowadays :'{

[@nomoredamnnamestouse]

Gotta thank corporate greed for that.

[@EarthboundBenjy]

Lament of Innocence before this game had the Pumpkin mode. I can't think of many others though

Video: *Angry armor kills things with axe while backdashing menacingly*

[@TheDreader7]

Backdash to assert dominance

[@BaronYoungOfficial]

well, at least we don't get the "JONASAN-SHAROTTO-JONASAN-SHAROTTO-JONASAN-SHAROTTO-JONASAN-SHAROTTO-JONASAN-SHAROTTO-JONASAN-SHAROTTO-JONASAN-SHAROTTO-JONASAN-SHAROTTO" treatment

I know someone submitted a tas of sisters mode, but it didn't even make it to the vault category. I'm glad ol' Axey got some love.

Ah, a worthy rival to the ULE, the TRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

"They replaced me?! I will not stand for this!" - This axe armor. He didn't stand for it, he vibrated across the floor and destroyed just about all of the portraits for it.

Moon walk simulator :)

A shame the emulator isn't showing some of the game's effects like the lines dividing the teleporting tablet.

[@LANBobYonson]

This is so silly I love it.

[@luxmansurenthra3178]

How is he able to kill them so fast? I'm not sure what's going on lol. I assume the movement is dash canceling.

[@vidagogo9829]

Almost as good as me... on my DS... in my dreams.

[@nahnah390]

Apparently the older version of Maria is inside the armor, which is why Astarte can't mind control her. Also she has a really deep voice in this armor for some reason. Side note, where the fuck was the hint on how to unlock this in game? Like, who the fuck was actually going to go into the arena and fight this one room of old axe armors over and over again by accident?

[@KyosukeShigeru]

O.o The Axe Armor is SOTN was fun, but this is absolutely insane. I played with this mode in PoR before, but it was still pretty much a gimmick.

[@Hyunsub-Fearnot]

I know this game Its Micheal Jackson's MoonWalker! I saw this on AVGN Episode

[@ChubbsRN]

Gotta love Portrait of Ruin

[@Stroggoii]

IGA hates dash cancelling so much I'm surprised he didn't allow Miriam to run in Bloodstained. Nathan's running imput in Circle of the Moon is clunky because it's a very early GBA title but his movement speed is actually both dynamic and super comfy to play with once you plug in a controller.

[@oscargutierrez3206]

I think it's a lost battle. From what i've seen, in pretty much any game that involves motion in some way, speedrunners have found an unconventional, unnecessarily complicated, but still faster way of moving. FOR .EVERY. GAME. Platforming, Open world, ANY game.

[@MarceloKatayama]

​@@oscargutierrez3206I mean, unless you are counting zips, the original super mario bros doesn't have an alternative movement method.

FUN FACT. Old Axe Armor is actually a girl. No joke.

[@stuff5499]

Konami website may depict it as girl but in game, it has male voice lines, making it likely genderless
