[TAS] PSX Castlevania: Symphony of the Night "Richter mode" by pirate_sephiroth & ForgoneMoose in 05:39.85
This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/2584M
TAS originally published on 2014-04-21
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is the first installment of the Castlevania series on PSX, and was also the very first PSX game to have a published TAS.
Follow Richter (playable after you beat the game once) as he glitches and speeds through the castle on a quest to defeat Dracula. If you like fast sliding, dashing, uppercutting, and using precipitation to defeat bosses, you'll love this run.
This is an improvement of 00:01.88 over the previous run ( tasvideos.org/1275M ). You can read the author's comments ( tasvideos.org/4275S ) for more information.
TASVideos also has several runs using Alucard, including a Replay run ( tasvideos.org/2666M ), a run that aims for fastest time on a clean save ( tasvideos.org/2541M ), and a run that kills every boss and obtains all relics ( tasvideos.org/2661M ). We also have a run from the Saturn version using Maria ( tasvideos.org/4201M ).
--------
Note: Due to an emulation error, the audio in the ending FMV sequence doesn't play.

Man said "Ayo the pizza here!"

Dracula: "Haha it seems like my dear Belmont has entered this castle to defeat me again, but now i am stro-" Richter: *Clips through walls and finds dracula in under 10 minutes* Dracula: "What the fuck is wrong with you Belmonts?!"

[@thedominator7366]

3:12 Dracula didn't invest enough money in his walls

[@skyrogue1977]

Minion: Oh my God Master Dracula, it’s the Belmont guy, he’s dashing all over the place and demolishing everything. Dracula: 😕

I always used to think I was pro at these games. Watched these videos, feel like a noob now

[@marcelitox8146]

but it's a tas man

[@iker900]

the tas is not a person is a ia of emulator playing the game knowing anything of the game to exploit it or something

[@darrelwilson]

@@iker900 got it

[@Multienderguy37]

@@iker900 It is not an ai, a person provides inputs every frame on an emulator which are chained together.

[@SunnyTacos]

Richter had to vanquish evil at 7 but also had a date at 7:15.

[@kevo300]

Very fluid TAS!

[@BaccarWozat]

5:05 It shouldn't be bonging that many times for six-thirty.

[@kimashitawa8113]

Imagine if Richter played like this in Smash, i might actually play with him for once then.

[@CarinoGamingStudio]

it will be ban.

[@BigBevev]

Richter is so hard to play as, so many inputs to remember and he dies in like two hits

[@desmondgovender3142]

Holy water item crash is op though..it shreds bosses

[@KyuJuEX099]

If you think Richter is hard. Check out Maria in SOTN in PSP version.

[@BigBevev]

@@KyuJuEX099 might have to, I’ve beat the game fully finally haha

[@backloggamereviews]

Richter is a glass cannon. His attacks hit hard but he can’t take a lot of damage. The health up items do increase his health, it’s just hard to notice since he has a traditional life bar.

[@igodreamer7096]

3:12 Where the magic happens! xDDDD

[@Calmtimer]

Yeah you know, typical Belmont stuff

[@Shadow-wb7kb]

Excellent bro 😏👉👉

[@robsvanced9098]

Half of the run os ending sequence and credits lol

[@DonayreX]

Qué loco!! 👍👍👍

[@myrhythm4208]

This is how a belmoth storm a vampire's castle

[@JackyVang1991]

I will always love this game, literally my top number 1 fav game. I invested so much time into this game for the PS2 then bought it for xbox 360 and invested less time because I knew where to go and what to find but still loved it! It still throws me off how the credits music is a complete different vibe from the gameplay haha. I really want to know what made them go with that soundtrack.

[@panxo13x]

Because 90's vibes

[@Kojirremer]

Love how half of the video is just the ending. XD

[@jerodmcallister1974]

Geez that was fast.

[@hapologtz]

So, remind me how was he captured in the first place...

[@gv82089]

He wasn't captured, he got cursed in his encounter with Shaft

[@Miraihi]

Obligatory credits that are longer than the TAS itself.

[@Nightly97]

The post game cutscene and credits are legit longer than the gameplay lmao

[@Yos_Belmont]

XD

[@desmondgovender3142]

So richter played by a human is faster than tas I guess

[@rm-cd2dy]

First (epic) (real)
