"Gives the power to jump around maniacally," I dunno, doesn't he have that already?

I love that this comment is on every all souls TAS of this game.

[@DaveN8gh5]

​@@Skulll9000ah yes he's a fleaman

[@Bytezor8]

I can just imagine the characters passing by Soma during his journey like "Hey Soma-" and Soma just zips past with his blade going "HA HUA HO TAH!"

[@galvon196]

Turns out soma could be link

[@ashencometmom5291]

what's more jarring: all those frame perfect inputs vs first try peeping eye soul

[@ermacconunacoca2815]

Yes

[@FungusAmanita]

First try peeping eye soul.

[@telosnyx5193]

Both

[@OverseerMoti]

Blocking mail's permanent blocking is also jarring

[@tommynson440]

First try peeping eye soul

[@ironmilutin]

6:11 sums the run up pretty well

This is the true Chaotic Realm.

[@cletusmcyeetus5975]

Only Soma can go to the Chaotic Realm. For he *is* the Chaotic Realm.

This is what happens when you leave Soma alone with a castle, a bag of crack cocaine, and twenty minutes to kill.

[@Shadowlyger]

Whenever I watch a TAS, I find myself wondering what this shit must look like from the character's perspective.

[@kamith3984]

Bassicly a bunch of backflips and tricks in high speed

[@themightyaqua1145]

Imagine how it feels though: clipping through the castle, hopping around like a fleaman, constantly swinging an oversized sword at near light speed, forever being at near death

[@BrightXenoTheGizoid]

Yeah, Some of the belmonts can move as chaotically as Soma here Just Ask Mr.ULE--- I Mean, Julius.

[@sdgdhpmbp]

Nah. After all the shit that Belmonts and even the infamous Maxim pulled, Dracula finally said "Fuck this shit! I'm getting a piece of that action!". Because, you know, Soma is Dracula incarnate.

[@Yukon_83]

Joel Neto hahaha😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 correct

[@Yukon_83]

Now I'm curious how dose he do that

[@sterlingmuse5808]

Luckily, Dracula was already dead, so he didn't have to deal with this. And no, Soma only becomes Dracula in the bad ending

How many souls do you want? Soma: *YES*

[@ahnlanz4146]

How come he could get every souls easily???

[@noside.foxhound]

I went to the kitchen and grabbed a bag of chips and a dr.pepper, head back to my room, sat on the couch and enjoyed this fantastic tas video from start to end, it was so satisfying! thank you so much. :D

[@AndrevusWhitetail]

Okay so back when Krio made the 40+ minute all souls TAS i made a joke about Soma on coffee....that overcaffeinated Soma ain't got SHIT compared to THIS demon

[@mateololero4091]

Made coffee, mixed it with mtn dew and then stirred with an energy bar. Instead of sugar he put coccaine

[@travisedwards3543]

Yeah this ones got a thermos full of trucker coffee. (Google if need be.)

[@col.choros3966]

Just learned the most viewed section of this speedrun is the Lilith Succubus bathing area.

[@HikaruCh.]

Cultured people it seems, I don't blame them 😅

[@avalonjustin]

I noticed that the soul was collected from the first boss (Creaking Skull) with no indication, but every subsequent soul had an indication.

[@qwerty99846]

thats because he leveled up at the same time

[@davidchez513]

It technically does display, the level up happened the moment he grabbed the soul, so there's was a bit of a corruption of graphics that didn't display the description properly (but the text box is there) due to the effects of the boss being defeated and the level up action.

[@avalonjustin]

@@davidchez513 That makes sense, thank you.

[@itachixmaster]

I've never seen a TAS go through a fully graphable exponential curve of madness before.

[@mitchsorenstein630]

Recently just started playing this game but I always wondered how he constantly stayed at 1 hp and 100% guard rate.

[@mr.dudley3484]

the staying at 1 hp bit was due to not using any healing items or using save points, which is important for the lubicant soul, and the guard thing is due to the blocking mail, which has a 10% chance to prevent all damage

[@qwerty99846]

rng manipulation

[@Wesker236]

Basically, dracula resurrected and is now on crack and cocaine rampaging through his own castle

[@ckmishn3664]

So when playing regularly, after you kill death are you invincible? And how do you kill other guys after that?

[@XanthinZarda]

No, you simply banished death back to his plane. He too is an immortal, but can manifest physically.

[@LilyLilim44]

Patrick Wise He is wearing blocking mail it has chance to "guard" attack he manipulate rng to make it guard all the time

[@ckmishn3664]

Lily Lilim It was a philosophical joke. As in, if "Death" is dead, how can anyone die?

[@Mrstonksman214]

TAS be like: You look away for about 5 seconds and when you look back at the screen they are on the other side of the castle.

[@gibbyace5077]

i love the thumbnail

[@Massacretalitor]

Does anybody actually know how he is able to get soul every time he needs to? During my run of Aria of Sorrow on Advance Collection, I was able to figure out that soul drops are affected by actions. For example, I wouldn't get soul from killing said enemy, but if I hit another enemy next to it before killing the enemy I wanted the soul from, the soul could now drop. I was abusing reload to try all kinds of stuff, sometimes with desired results and most often not.

[@chelvo56]

Rng manipulation. basically, through inputs, he manipulates the number that is used to check if you get a certain outcome

[@TwilightFlower9]

Basically, the exact same thing you were doing, on a larger scale, and with the help of looking into the game's memory. Human runners for this category do smaller RNG manipulations with the help of save-quits. (It takes about an hour for a skilled human runner, IIRC.)

"Fleaman: hop around madly" Isnt soma already doing that?

[@HyperVanilo]

I like how you used the fanart of Koumajou Densetsu version of Youmu Konpaku and Yuyuko Saigyouji in the beginning because the game is Touhou parody of Castlevania.

[@HakimRegh]

2:02 How could he manage to navigate in the menu with 0 HP? Isn't he supposed to be dead and on the "Game Over" screen at this number of HP?

[@DemoniteBL]

Why would he save at the beginning?

[@Trigun7th]

Soma made his way by moon walking through the entire castle 😎

[@DeKhaPe]

Where is my "Demon Mail"? :(

[@LordYggdrasill]

Never played this game, but aside from some soul RNG manipulation, I thought it was a pretty straightforward TAS run... and then @4:50, shit started getting crazy. xD

[@davidchez513]

2:00 is when it starts getting crazy. He gains invulnerability due to the game thinking he is dead but it allows you to regain control of the player once he regains back health with an item that actually decrease the health (a pretty common glitch in some games) and then proceed to warp to an area that is like waaaaaay later than intended. In the map, the area that you see after is in the bottom of the castle, while entrance is located in the mid left side of the map.

here again after seeing inbounds version, it makes more sense that one story wise, but tas logic if the wall is not solid the wall is an exit

[@pinguin4898]

the REAL vampire lord heir experience

[@HYOSAIZERO]

How did u do to pass through walls? Is it a glitch, bug or cheat?

[@qwerty99846]

tas only glitch

[@Mrstonksman214]

I assume you are talking about the zips (bat zips, etc.) its basically like you are getting into the walls hitbox and because you are not meant to be there you get sent up out of the hitbox which can turn into massive skips. It is possible for humans to do this as this is a required glitch used in some areas to get a good time for any% speedruns. It is very hard to preform though. hope i could help :)

Soma dancing over Yoko’s body broke me. That was so funny.
