Is it possible you can make Richter and Alucard use their subweapons differently, if you're not already doing that? Like have Richter's subs function like they did in Dracula X, like three daggers, spiraling bible, travelling holy water (don't remember if that was actually in the game), etc. Is that possible at all? And what about the weird ass stopwatch crash that attacks enemies?
SOTN is easily one of my favorite games. I've beaten it about 6 times or more..I just wish there was a hard mode in the original. I mean this boss in the original version (just like every other boss) is so damn easy. You can kill him without weapons and armor. You could probably kill him with a blindfold on lol. With weapons it's like, walk forward and press square..you win..... on the other hand, this modified version looks absolutely stunning. Excellent job so far, keep up the good work!
Even though you made this boss alot harder, you made it look easy.
Hey, if you haven't done Medusa yet, I got some ideas for her. Instead of hesitating, then shooting one stone beam, she could shoot, say, six without hesitating. Also she could move faster. ...but that's a given. Now, when she holds up her shield, she is completely invulnurable to all atacks. And also, istead of stabbing straight, she could swing her sword vetically to that position while moving forward.
It would making ducking alot less cheap. Let's see... other ideas... Hmmm... how about attacking after flinching, that would be a nice touch. As for the pallet, well, personally, I think it should be green, like most renditions of Medusa. That's all the ideas I have for her.
Also great job on Franks Creation. Now that's what I call the Frank-Man in his prime.
One more thing, where did you get that projectile weapon? I never saw one of those in this game.
Xskulled I try not to use the cheap ways ,but there aren't any other ways on most the bosses because they have so few attacks and HP that any weapon Icebrand and up and any armor past Spike Breaker (estimate) kinda makes Alucard a god against any boss except Galamoth. I enjoy fighting him because with my Mourneblade (favorite ^_^) I can't easily wastoid him and my Agnea doesn't either!
Thanks for making Alucard look just as bad ass as i do. When i fight a boss, i try NOT to kill it in the cheap / easy ways, even though with your Hacked boss that may be impossible. Good job on it, im sure i could take him though ^_^
Wow, I just finished watching all of your videos and Im impressed. I wish Konami would have had your mindset when they made SotN originally. SotN's Bosses were a joke, but your versions of them actually look challenging/fun. To actually see strategy needed to defeat bosses is a beautiful thing as aposed to walking up to them and pressing the attack button until they die.
The demoes from the librarian even show the developers beating the bosses in cheap/easy ways.
very good as always. i love the flashing red feature as well. congratz on programming things that r that hard, i wouldent have the patience. keep up the good work
It's for epsxe ONLY for now. The emulator for the ps1. I may have someone do a conversion for some other psx emulators but I should PROBABLY finish it first. ;)
Amazing work; keep it up. I think the red flashing is good in a way because it tells you he's near death. I think that's too much HP to give him though. Strange how the battle seems so much longer to me (like 10 min). Time goes by slower when your adrenaline is pumping.
u should've been employed by konami, THAT WAY I WOULD'VE HAD A FIGHTING CHANCE TO SEE DRACULA X ON PS2 AND SAVED OVER $250. NOW I HAVE TO BUY A PROGESSIVE SCAN HDTV TO PLAY MY PSP ON A LARGE SCREEN!!!!
NO I haven't. The myspace topic was outdated, and the forums had an error that deleted a LOT of topics including mine. I have to repost it in the new forums. Please post my reply on both my SOTN hacked videos. Later. :)

Damn, Esco, you're really amazing. I thought your Slogra/Gaibon hack was already impressive, but here, not only you changed Frank's AI, you also added attacks!!
What about the famous "unused items"? Including "Godspeed Boots"? Is also possible to add some rooms of the "Underground garden" unfinished area?
Thanks for your brilliant hack Esco!! It reminds me of the Chrono Trigger's snes editor in the first steps! Maybe in the future it will be possible to see an editor? Thanks again!

GOOD NEWS: the blocks now have their own gfx, the room has been redesigned.... AND the creature now has his lightning attack from POR as well.
Esco1979 3 years ago
Also... when he uses his blocks attack, it shakes the screen more for longer... so if he is out of view you KNOW blocks will be coming down.
