A miserable pile of secrets!

Die monster. You don't belong in this world.

Mankind ill needs a savior such as you.

Confirm. Hard.

Have at you!

This is all that a man is in the end. Dust and bones.

It was not by my hand that I am once again given flesh. I was called here by humans who wish to pay me tribute.

What is a man?
A cesspool of hatred and lies!

>>2773155
Eh? They did?

Confirm.

Perhaps the same could be said of all religions.

Perhaps the same could be said of all countries.

Tribute? You steal men's souls, and make them your slaves!

TRIBUTE?! You steal men's souls and make them your slaves.

Man ill needs a savior such as you!

They translated it correctly in the Rondo of Blood remake though!

It's an ironic twist of fate how Big Boss himself is supposedly afraid of vampires.

Forgot my pic.

Same faggot.

>tripcode
>referencing his own post

Wow, you THINK?

>>2773260
Gee detective Anon

What was your first clue?

>>2773260
Wha?

Sometimes I would like to know what anon rages for.

>>2773269
Well, I saw throught it because of the tripcode, and because he was referencing his own post.

I'm sorry guys, I can't do it.

Null hypothesis rejected.

>>2773289
Way to go.

>>2773289
You miserable failure.

>>2773289
Die faggot! You don't belong in this board!

>>2773093
Hell yeah

Not gonna lie, pretty good thread.

>>2773374
Hypothesis confirmed, except for that one kid.
Well done, everyone.

>>2773289
/jp/ ill needs a poster such as you

>>2773108
Fucking hated that art

A miserable little pile of BULL SHIT!

I... can't. Shamefully, the only Castlevania I have ever played was one of the GBA ones, and even so I forgot its name... it had the white-haired fabulous guy, though.
Damn, I'm so ashamed of myself.
Please ignore me.

>>2773478
Soma, you nit.

Also, "Forces of chaos, grant me power!"

Really, it's the in-battle lines that most people forget. Especially Maria's one, since most of us are so absurdly good that we can beat the starting battle in SotN with our eyes closed. Really, the force of chaos should throw in some variety, the same old Dracula transformation gets old. Unfortunately, our /jp/ brand force of chaos just likes being a dick.

>since most of us are so absurdly good that we can beat the starting battle in SotN with our eyes closed

... You can't...
You can't LOSE that first battle!

>>2773528
I did lose it once, just to see what happened.

>>2773545
How did you lose? Did you like... hit the reset button?

Never played Castlevania. Only realized where the meme was from recently.

>>2773210
>correctly

>>2773573
Are you stupid or something?

Can't do it. The only Castlevania game I've played was a GBA one, and I didn't even beat it. More of a Metroid fan.

>>2773629
SotN it not only the best Castlevania, but one of the best games ever.

>>2773536
True, if you do lose all your health, Maria pops in, says "Richter! Grant him your strength!", and you get a starman powerup for the rest of the fight (I call 'em as I see 'em). Beating Dracula without that happening actually takes a bit of effort.

...I just noticed that young Maria would fit right in Gensokyo. Frilly dress, absurd power, hair accessory, it's all there.

>>2773640

Maybe I didn't get the full experience because I got a game-breaker on my first run (Crissaegrim blade), but I don't think it's quite in the ranks of best games ever.

It was still very good, though. I just didn't like all the running back and forth and the need to explore BOTH castles almost fully to get the best end.

>>2773652
I though having Maria pop out was considered losing, that's what I understood in >>2773545

>>2773659
>Crissaegrim
That's on the inverse castle's library, you pretty much had finished the game by then.

>>2773679

I'm going to write off those two heretics are outliers. Null hypothesis rejected! Science has prevailed!

>>2773690

I got it on my first visit.

And it basically finished the game for me, taking out the what-I-would-expect-to-be more fun endgame boss battles.

>>2774516
Shit, it took me like 7 hours to find it

This thread.

Shield Rod + Alucard Shield is more broken than the Crissaegrim.

And SoTN is generally much too easy. It's only fun with self imposed challenges, eg. low level or speedrunning.

I like insomnia.ac very much.
good day to you.

>Shield Rod + Alucard Shield is more broken than the Crissaegrim.

No it isn't.

You can still be attacked with the Alucard Shield.
You never have to be touched again with the Crissaegrim.
Crissaegrim's got a better reach, too.
The only thing Alucard Shield+Rod has over it is damage rate, which isn't even true at max stats.

>And SoTN is generally much too easy. It's only fun with self imposed challenges, eg. low level or speedrunning.

I suppose that's true. I was playing it more like an action game than a Metroid-esque adventure.
