OP here, I changed my mind. Both Classicvania and Metroidvania are welcome.

Rondo of Blood
Simon
Hopefully Soon

You shut your fucking mouth, you're not me and Metroidvania is SHIT

PoR > DoS > OOE

Get out of here Dracula.

Fuck you Belmont.

never played castlevania. should i start with iv?

I'll kill you
Start with 1
Skip 2
Attempt to play 3 and give up because you get your ass beat like the rest of us
From there you can do whatever you want but Rondo of Blood is objectively the best one

Castlevania 1 is perfect
Simon's Quest has a few good tracks I guess
Akumajou Densetsu is the S3&K equivalent
SCIV is shit and only people who never liked castlevania games enjoy it
Rondo of Blood is pretty good but the backflip is retarded
Bloodlines is also pretty good but the final boss is lame
SoTN is not castlevania in any aspect besides music and enemy designs, still a good game but I don't know how people manage to play and enjoy the portable games when they are basically the same shit but with downgraded everything.

>but the backflip is retarded
Kill yourself, friend

yes

it is the best of the classic style Castlevanias (ties with Rondo of Blood and Adventure ReBirth)

Oh and I forgot 68K.. It was okay and had great tracks like moon fight and etude for the killer but it was not as good as Rondo or Bloodlines.
The only parts I enjoyed were funnily enough, the remade Castlevania 1 sections of the levels, everything else was mediocre.

>backflip is retarded

its pretty good if you know how to use it, like the backwards dash in the SotN and onwards

It adds nothing to the gameplay and it's unresposive as fuck

Richter in Symphony of the Knight is OP as fuck, but man, that sprite of his is so out of place.

I never used the backflip, didn't use the itembreak either.
One of my favourite games of all time though.

Just because you are too retarded to take advantage of it doesn't mean it adds nothing

I've been playing sotn lately and it's great. I just got to the inverted castle and was wondering if I can buy a map for it like the normal castle

What's with thr sudden influx of castlevania threads lately? Not that I'd complain.
Which horror monster would you like to see in future castlevania games?

It doesn't belong in Castlevania

Does Lords of shadow count, cuz I played like an hour last night and it was pretty dope desu

>future castlevania games
user...

>future castlevania games

Shoulda said future fangames ;_;

'Scuse me, best song coming through

youtube.com/watch?v=UMMIdnJnQ5Q

I'm sorry for you. Pleb.

You disgust me.

Best classicvania is IV.
Best Metroidvania is OoE.
Everyone else is plain wrong, with exceptions for Castlevania I, Circle of the moon, Aria of Sorrow.

Chronicles is my favourite.
Bloodlines is good too.

I think Australia-kun is trying to disguise himself.

Best song will literally always be this

Would you a Maria?

I've been trying to learn to code to make a Classicvania clone game and get some experience but it's hard and I'm a lazy cunt so I started this thread

I don't want to fight you. You're right. PoR gives the Morris family their deserved spotlight and OoE is a mess.

Nah, that faggot doesn't play the NES games.

You're right, he didn't defend the censorship the PAL regions got in their version of Bloodlines.

>Best classicvania is IV.
>Stupid passages where you just have to hang on and wait and are more stupid than the autoscroller section in III
>Flicker and slow down shit
>The "grab to shit and swing" doesn't add anything to the gameplay
>subweapons are useless

Symphony of the Night
Julius
Not soon enough.

>>subweapons are useless

Fuck you and everyone who spreads this meme. Just because some eceleb said it in a video doesn't make it true

Yes, the whip is versatile. No, it doesn't make sub weapons useless. Heck, the cross nearly breaks the game

Is Bloodstained gonna help with the Castlevania itch, or is it doomed to be another Mighty No. 9?

It seems to be more focused on game development than MN9.

And Iga wants the game to be good, rather than just create a new IP.

Are you the same guy from the last few threads? How's development been coming along?

Claiming Maria as mai waifu

>Yes, the whip is versatile.
I think you overpowered.
Play a real Castlevania like I, III or Rondo.

IGA actually worked on Castlevania games and worked on the DS ones under a right budget. Inafune is an artist grandfathered in as the "father of Mega Man" because he was the only one stupid enough to not leave Capcom when he had the chance.

I don't think I'm the same guy, no.
Believe me I'm nowhere near posting "development."
The last coding I did before now was cheesing my way through engineering class in 11th grade.

It actually shows promise and even takes suggestions from fan-feedback and surveys (directed to the backers).

If Maria is broken and overpowered in Rondo, how was she even captured in the first place that required Richter to save her?

>Which is your favorite game?
Classic - 1
Iga-style - Aria of Sorrow
>Who IS the best Belmont?
Strongest is Julius. Coolest is Richter.

OoE is way better than Dawn but otherwise you're correct.

Great power is useless if you don't know how to use it.

Good luck user. Start now and stop procrastinating your learning.

She wanted it

They don't call him Shaft for nothing

>They don't call him Shaft for nothing

That Shaft is one bad motherfuc-

Because overpowered loils are useless unless you're the one actually using them.

Different user here, but what's your opinion on Adventure Rebirth?

upside down castle in sotn is pretty neat but kinda kicking my ass

dlsite.com/maniax/work/=/product_id/RJ156689.html
Is it worth it?

>tfw the sudden spike in difficulty once you head into the second castle
Goddamn

Didn't play. Last year I played/replayed all "classic" Castlevania games, looks like I missed that one.

I got stunlocked in a corner by the second doppelganger and just raped beyond repair. Like holy shit I can't get used to the knockback in these games

The thing I hate most about the inverted castle is Finale Toccata playing constantly.

What were they even doing to Maria when you encounter her with Richter?

Looked like a spell as if they were trying to turn her evil.

Its an amazing track but i agree it is overused.

What was the point of the whip upgrades in 1? When you die you lose it but they make it so easy to find the upgrade again, why don't you just start with with fully powered up whip.

I tried to get into Castlevania a while back. Started with emulating Super Castlevania IV.

It was too slow and too clunky.

Are there any that feel a bit more fluid?

Play Rondo of Blood and then I or III if you liked it.
yadi.sk/d/eK8qIYvC6mtBT

To make you feel weak and to fuck your shit up if you died

Shaft was trying to tap into her power so he could give it to dracula or something

But you literally get it back withing two seconds. The game never gives you a chance to feel punished for it

But they give you both upgrades within the first five candlesticks you hit.

> Dracula turns into a loli because of it

Actually, wasn't he a shota in one game?

But OP, true masterrace enjoys all castlevania games.
even judgement

>IV
>clunky

That's the smoothest playing one of them all.
I don't think it's the best, but it's the one where they went out of their way to make it easy to control.

All the other Classicvanias control stiff as all fuck, which I personally enjoy, but if you're looking for a fluid Classicvania you're looking in the wrong series.

>People actually liking and recommending Rondo of Blood?

Why? It's really one of the weaker entries. Really flat, dull stage design

I, III, IV and Bloodlines are all far more engaging

Thanks, user.

Yeah, kid dracula

JUST

You mean 64? Yeah he was a shota in that.

Depending on where you die, you can really get fucked by it.
For example the clock tower in castlevania 1 makes you kill 3 bonethrowing skellies before giving you the 2nd upgrade.

>He can't save the holy water
pleb

>he needs holy water
uber pleb

>he didn't farm Crissaegrim

I feel like Beelzebub was supposed to be hard but jesus he couldn't even hit me

>He needs subweapons at all

Do people still play HoD online on PSN?

>he takes the whip upgrades
>he doesn't exclusively use the power glove for the entire game

Probably because she didn't realise she had that kind of power at the time. Also she's a scared little kid who got kidnapped by a sorceror and monsters.

Adult Maria is a different matter. She went careening around Dracula's castle on her own, repeatedly getting ahead of Alucard and still surviving without issue despite having no idea what she was doing. Simply because she's just that crazy strong.

I think you'd like it. It's the last classic Castlevania we'll probably ever get.

Adventure Rebirth had two different gameplay styles, one where you could control your jumps like you could in IV, and another where your jumps were set in stone the moment you left the ground, like all the other classic games.

>everyone who hates super crappyvania 4 is austalia
No fuck off.

Best Classicvania: Rondo
Best Metroidvania: CotM
Best Belmont: Juste
When are we firebombing Konami: Immediately

>Crissaegrim
I don't even know what that is

If I remember right, the little flying heads in the inverted library have a tiny chance to drop it.
It's a ridiculously OP sword that hits multiple times at once and it's insane.

You can even get two and equip both to hit like six times at once.

A stupidly broken weapon that eliminates the little challenge SOTN might've had. Holy shitbis that weapon stupid.

Good. Nobody should.

Nobody ever knew of that stupid obscure as fuck weapon till the internet came around and tards always use it as an excuse as to why SoTN is too easy.

An extremely rare and stupid OP weapon even SoTN.

I still really like 4

>really enjoy 4 but have some complaints specific to it as a game
>egoraptor makes a video about it
>now if I mention it people just call me some dumbass egoraptor opinion parroter
I really hate egoraptor and the SC4 fanbase

Would you be content with Castlevania being revived as a gothic horror game with Bloodborne gameplay?

I'd give it a shot.

>that entire stage with the medusa heads and knights that ends with a floating boss in Castlevania I

What do I do this game is beating my ass hard too fast for me to fathom
