[TAS] Genesis Castlevania: Bloodlines "John Morris" by VANDAL & Truncated in

[@cameronabshire1195]

I completely forgot John Morris could swing from ceilings. That shit's crazy.

[@rippinkorpse]

One of my favorite Castlevanias, I love the soundtrack, and this is definitely one of the hardest, especially the last gauntlet fights. Never watched TAS or Speedrun of this game, loved it.

[@lonetraveler3480]

I've never played this but the fittingly epic lagginess in the final phase Dracula must have raised hairs back in the day.

[@TheEricJBotelho84]

I've used John Morris once for the Castlevania Bloodlines game, man did I have a hell of a time using him and beating that game

[@RichterBelmont2235]

I didn't even know he's invincible while doing the whip swing.

[@timmyjimmy7413]

Indestructible projectiles like bombs and lasers still hurt him while he swings, found that out the hard way trying to cheese the barrel room in stage 5.

[@schwarzenegger_begger8810]

This is one of my favorite Castlevanias!

[@Judas_1989]

Dracula be like "No Belmont no problem" untill he sees 6ft tall guy from fckin Texas jumping and swinging all over Europe to just unlive him like a little bitch :D

[@doverboy1]

The vampire killer didnt consume life force from john John Morris consumed all the life force from the whip, and died because of too much life force

[@Flabby555]

This is really cool

[@cubanpete2079]

Hands down, the best soundtrack of the 16 bit Vanias.

[@NinjaCacodemon_IsSus]

Especially level 4

[@Kensterrrrr]

You mean the 2 16 bit games?

[@p1g5m0k3]

@@Kensterrrrr 3: Bloodlines, Super CV4, and Dracula X/Vampire’s Kiss (Rondo of Blood variation).

[@Multienderguy37]

Rondo/X68000 better imo. Compositions are good but I feel the genesis sound chip holds this one back.

[@xyan07]

Castlevania 4 in the SNES has the best OST

[@lesnaSvalka]

This game looks amazing.

[@jagergerg9771]

That last stage looks brutal.

[@williamzeo2493]

The art of making victory poses Edit: wait that golem death was a reference to Terminator 2?

[@duskythedergun1654]

John Morris beats the motherfucking shit out of everything he sees while pogo-ing across the country: *The Movie*

[@TobiasWhisperwind]

These are the most piercing sound effects of any Castlevania game, what the hell are you on, Genesis

[@FLYNN_TAGGART]

The genesis had a low pass filter that this emulator had disabled.

[@enkerzan3755]

It's Genesis, that console's sound card was ass.

[@ezgames6925]

@@enkerzan3755 not really, I quite like it.

[@abraham3673]

@@enkerzan3755 the soundtracks for the genesis sonic games prove that wrong

[@enkerzan3755]

Those weren't that great, listenable, but not amazing. I had the Genesis w/Sonic, and then got a SNES; and I switched back and forth between games that I got for them. As a person who who owned both consoles of that time period, SNES had the better sound card(s).

[@flitpix]

Faster than the Eric Lecarde TAS 👀

[@danielseiser6189]

That was awesome. He uses the whip better than any Belmont.

Castlevania: Dracula's bouncy castle

[@whiteraven1992]

TAS Bloodlines? Hippity hoppity whippidy skippidy. And it _still_ takes longer than it should to get up stairs.

[@michaelrusso8033]

There was a brief moment where I thought the run was going to end with 69 subweapon ammo.

[@Lilsteve615]

This game used to piss me off so bad when i was a kid 😂

[@Davtwan]

Nice victory poses!

[@sdgdhpmbp]

I'm absolute SNES over Mega Drive. Games overall, and most of all sound. However, between this and Super Castlevania IV I say this is several levels better. The instruments and SFXes take away from it, yet the soundtrack here is amazing, while SCIV settled for atmosphere. Even visually I like the colours here. SCIV gave us Simon's theme, possibly even the best version of it, and that's it. Bloodlines gave us a proper 16 bit Castlevania experience that isn't Dracula X, along with an additional playable character.

[@MaXimumOverDriveCollection]

Bro's either got god mode on or sleeps with this game playing in his head :)

[@R00K07]

4:57 What?! What happened to the other boss?!

[@enkerzan3755]

That 2nd to last boss looked extremely annoying to fight.

[@BaronYoungOfficial]

Why does John use jumping as his normal movement tech but Eric simply walks?

[@ezgames6925]

John saves 4 frames for every jump

[@BaronYoungOfficial]

So John DOES move faster jumping by game design. Interesting.

[@singlereedenjoyer]

Due to their movement speeds and jumping physics, John saves a couple of frames each jump, but Eric loses a couple each jump.

[@Sukaiba69]

John and Eric move at the same speed in mid-air While, relative to the air speed, Johns' strut is slower while Eric's is faster

[@ReaverPrime]

I LOVE seeing Castlevania runs. The series as a whole commands a deep respect from me. There are only 4 games in the entire franchise that I actively dislike. The two on N64, Haunted Castle, and Adventure 1.

[@solarflare9078]

You should try Haunted Castle on Version E. It's actually quite fun

[@Zestybeef]

John Morris jumps around like a jittery jackass in this run! 😂

[@pythagore243]

Clean

[@sulblazer]

What the hell? The rotating blades at 13:40 does not cause damage? All those years, I avoided getting hit by inching forward through the grooved cuts for nothing? Hahahahaha!!!! Holy S.

[@AlexSmashX3]

The hit boxes don't match up perfectly, so you can literally jitter, and jump through them at specific points

[@Multienderguy37]

This is a TAS, if you aren’t 100% familiar with the hitboxes it will take 40% of your health

[@Kensterrrrr]

No damage huh....yea

[@024514162]

😲😲😲😲😲

[@ReiGaiden]

Super 👍 jeu

[@ramongiovane]

18:36 Is Morris on drugs or something lol

[@Araneus21]

he just defeated a giant moth demon who sprinkled poison, possibly halucinogenic powder everywhere, so... your explanation is correct

[@micaelmarcos4323]

Nah, he just enjoying the best of life, i mean, you gotta keep exercising when going across Europe do defeat a vampire army
