Simon Belmont (David Henrie after he was Justin Russo): Imma give you a little present. Dracula (Sebastian Stan after he was Bucky the Winter Soldier from Captain America): What? Simon: AN ASS WHUPPIN!

[@-Ryu]

Dracula: "How many times can you defeat me so easily?" Simon: "How Many Pork Chops do you hide in these walls?" Dracula: "BELMOOOOONT!!!!!"

Dracula: "I fear no man, but that... thing..." *Simon moonwalking up stairs, zipping through walls, and bouncing off minions* Dracula: "It scares me."

[@friendlybullet943]

Gotta be my favorite Classicvania out of all of them. Sure it was regarded as way too easy but it just felt right to play. I also loved the overall atmosphere of the game, it felt like a real journey. Also, the soundtrack has some of the most underrated/under-remixed pieces in the series! The Clockwork Mansion music is incredible, as well as the Treasury's, and the Library's. I would replay this game any day.

[@friendlybullet943]

Also Jesus Christ this TAS is fun to watch, lots of damage boosting I never considered before and some crazy stuff with the whip swings

[@A-bit-Shifty]

Library music in this game is my favorite. Its so nostalgic for me. I used to play this every day when I was a kid and still play quite frequently. One of the best games ever made.

[@capjus]

Im really really so happy to hear that i obviously wasnt alone with this library music and other you mentioned !! Im still amazed with them

Well we were given the full potential of the whip of course the game is gonna bend it's knee to us

[@queentribble2019]

This is one of those games that just allows the artwork of the gameplay to shine in a TAS. Check out the kill at 27:46 - murderous yet graceful!

[@zerogx12]

Castlevania 4 is the best one to just pick up and speedrun, the music is amazing and it is all so worth it when you beat it, that ending bgm is part of my childhood 😆

[@deathslayer1411]

2:40 9/10 didn't align the third cross

[@vhailormercykiller1174]

He could'n. Beacause triangle wouldn't be equilateral beacause of distance between walls. Same at 8:07 10/10

[@danbush4073]

I like to think that this speedrun is Simon Belmont's canonical strength. Out of all the Belmonts and their extended family, Simon has and always will be my favorite. What a badass. Great TAS run, I always love seeing these.

[@Boppsta712]

Awesome job dude, perfect timing on everything even with the strategic health burns to new life, I don't see how anybody could do it better.

[@xxEzraBxxx]

That's why it's called a TAS

[@AyyRalphy]

Woohoooo love seeing new castlevania iv snes uploads and damn right I watch the whole thing

[@CornerPressurE]

I remember riding my bike to BlockBuster when I was around 10 years old to rent this game multiple times. I eventually would work my way to B-2, but would also always die on those upward 45 degree platforms. Easily my favorite game of all time.

[@hygrave2892]

One of my aunt's brought Final Fight for the SNES for me on my birthday. I never opened it, didn't want it. She was kind enough to give me the receipt. I had to go to Montgomery Wards to change it in. And the newest release? Of course, this is what I went home with. One of the better decisions I have made in life.

[@SilentOnion]

​@@hygrave2892 final fight is also a great game

Best run Ive seen in my life \w/ thanks

[@Cronenburger]

Some thoughts: 1.) The BGM for “Forest of Monsters” is fucking sublime. 2.) Simon Belmont is clearly a hold-out from the 80’s cocaine culture; I just watched him swing a whipthree times in a second and before that, he hopped across a body of water like Jesus playing hopscotch.

Super Damage-Boosting-vania 4. Jokes aside, Simon's normal walking speed IS horrendously slow in this game.

[@Raylightsen]

Too clunky yeah

[@sonicboy678]

At least it's better than the other Castlevania on this console, along with Christopher's _first_ outing...

[@somefries3101]

It's more than perfect, did you look at the gameboy titles? Cristopher is actually slow while Simon has that speed because of the sprite size.

[@thelastofitskind3034]

That pose thou looks cool the game is too cool to ignore

[@joshuacampbell289]

Around 9:10-9:55 pure insanity

[@Thorium_Th]

What exactly means TAS? Is it also reduced hit boxes? At 20:22 and several other occasions Simon clips through spikes. That would be a sudden death on the SNES.

[@waxitoto1234]

Man KZbin is getting too damn smart. I never watch any Castlevania content, I've never watched anything from this channel and I hardly watch any TASs at all. But I do know one of the TASers of this video since he now speedruns a game I also run. How the hell did KZbin ever connect this video to me.

Boy am I glad to watch a Castlevania speedrun without constant backdash or slide... Typically: whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh...

[@sdgdhpmbp]

Yeah. Instead we have calculated damage boosts for speed and platforming. I get it, Classicvania TASes are also fun to watch. But like both's gameplay, it looks mundane compared to Metroidvanias.

[@stalagna]

I liked the part with the whipping

[@koholintisland2167]

Bloody tears starts its epic opening notes... And gets cut off by a fucking ad. God man. TAS did not used to be this bad about ads. What the hell happened?

[@DouglasZwick]

Whoa, Simon's Theme and, ergo, the stage clear jingle contain The Lick (if you are willing to compromise the note durations a bit).

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

That's a bit of a stretch, tbh

[@DouglasZwick]

@@CopiousDoinksLLC It's really not much of a stretch, it's all the same notes in the same sequence, except one or two of them have different durations.

IMO X68000 Castlevania made a better job in retelling the story of first game than SC IV. I love the combat system of SC IV and some of the levels, but i loved III choice of paths and playing as Sypha or Alucard was a lot of fun.

[@lfccavalheiro]

I hate Castlevania as a series since my childhood - except Symphony of the Night - because I find it to be the unfairest games of all time. Watching Castlevania TASes make me smile and feel vindicated. Keep posting them!

[@Recon-cv1fe]

It wasn't unfair imo. It just challenged you to master it. It was the same with the earlier Mega Man games on the NES. It's one of the longest series of any game title that I've kept up with since my youth. The music especially has always been fantastic.

[@A-bit-Shifty]

Early games, games in the nes era mostly, couldn't fit a lot of game in the cart so they compensated by increasing challenge so you'd be getting your moneys worth. They made games challenging yet beatable and in all honesty I enjoy that more than any current triple A title that babies you with countless tries and checkpoint/autosaving. If you wanted to beat early era games you had to practice and work for it because you could actually game over lol so much fun

[@caucasoidape8838]

[@Raylightsen]

@@Recon-cv1fe He meant the clunky gameplay. You cannot save that. Too stiff and slow.

Maybe its because I never owned any nintendo systems, but I just finished symphony of the night and this looks boring by comparison, even for a TAS. Not a diss though, I know the roots.
