Super Castlevania IV Speed Run (Part 4 of 4)

[abseD3N]

You completely destroyed death without getting hit once, I can't believe you managed to jump whip like that when he was pulling you, amazing.

[JDDK28]

@abseD3N - Thanks. I've played this game constantly since it came out, so I'm always in practice. But running it is still very beastly.

[Kosekans]

pure skill

[Anemonicus]

nice vid and most of all nice job, even if it isn't as hard as the older games, some stuff are a bitch to beat

[bludshedx]

Great job!

[JDDK28]

@bludshedx - Thank you.  :)

[mattcat234]

This is by far the best Castlevania game ever made PERIOD!

Brings back great memories watching this!!

[JDDK28]

@mattcat234 - Yes! Best Castlevania EVAR!

[t1m1976]

A pleasure to watch you play this awesome game. Thanks so much for putting this here for all of us to enjoy. It's a lot of fun watching the style that other gamers have and the techniques they use.

[JDDK28]

@t1m1976 - Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it.

Very nice job one of my favorites the music is great and this must have been a bitch to do lol I can't even beat the game without continues let alone not dying at all good job sir

[JDDK28]

@ghk1d - Thank you. And yes, it was very difficult. Probably the hardest run I've done.

[musiclover3928]

I've played this game so much i have it completely memorized. This game tested the SNES potential to the max. It is also listed on EGMs Top 25 best games. Great classic

[JDDK28]

@musiclover3928 - This is one of my favorite games of all time.

[sakazakijin]

Most impressive. And damn you to hell for making the Grim Reaper look so easy.

[JDDK28]

@sakazakijin - Thank you. But know that it took weeks of pain to get this run. :)

[Tekkenfreek234]

@sakazakijin I was angrier at him for making Slogra look like such a pushover.

So many hours of my life as a kid were dedicated to Slogra, but this guy comes in and makes Slogra his bitch in 10 seconds flat!

2:01 MOONWALK OMGWTFBBQ

[LuE956]

how long did dis speed run take yu?

[JDDK28]

@LuE956 - It's been awhile, but IIRC it took about a month and a half. A LOT of resets.

[chucky666jack666]

this was awesome, i cant even get through the second level XD i suck

[JDDK28]

@chucky666jack666 - Thank you very much. Practice makes perfect. ;)

[abaltazar0725]

This speed run is sick! Especially how you were able to whip Death multiple times even when he was doing that pull you towards him move. I can't replicate that even on an emulator. One thing I like to do is at 3:21, just stand on the falling blocks, and quickly hold the up button so you land on the stairs. It would shave off another 5 seconds in case you do another run. This vid helped me beat the game finally. Thanks!

[JDDK28]

@abaltazar0725 - Thank you. This is one of my favorite runs that I've completed. There are actually a handful of tricks that have been discovered since I did this run. Just don't know if I have the patience to work on and improve this. :)

[anthinus]

Great job! Excellent speed run man!

Btw, Simon moonwalking upstairs... Just hillarious! XD

[JDDK28]

@anthinus - Thank you very much. Moonwalking is mandatory in a speed run of SCV IV.

[metachozo]

somethinsg wonrg with the video man...it wont plat past 2:55

[JDDK28]

@metachozo - May need a refresh. It's fine for me right now.

[TheMastervidmaker]

only dissapointing part of the game: draculas only got 1 form

[JDDK28]

@TheMastervidmaker - True, but two different parts.  ;)

[LinduGG]

The best castlevania played the best way: the good ol' fashioned and hardcore way: no tool, only you and the game.

You sir, have my respect for that.

[JDDK28]

@LinduGG - Thank you. This was a beast to run, but I still enjoy this game a lot.

[JDDK28]

@Squareenixgigafan Thank you. :)

[LoklarYsera]

Very impressive for no tools.

[JDDK28]

@LoklarYsera I appreciate that, the TAS has a 5 digit replay count, so even TASing it is tough. This is probably my favorite run I've completed.

[panbacca]

Reminds me of my own play style.

Awesome. Love this game. :)

[JDDK28]

Thanks. It's one of my all time favorites, had to speed run it.

[Dorkster81]

you should watch phil's speed run from arc's time atttack.....

[JDDK28]

Are you referring to the TAS? Because I have seen that. It gave me a couple ideas. It's also my favorite Tool Assited Run.
