This is the same way I did this when I started playing SotN. I use that rocking motion with my thumb for anything like this that requires quick alternating button presses. It does cramp your hand after a bit, but it's *so* much better than simply backdashing and certainly just walking.
Ah, I misunderstood the "Best ending" part (I just beat the game myself with the best ending, by the way), I thought that meant you wouldn't fight Dracula at all.
I'd like to ask one thing. I thought you needed 1700-ish rooms to fight Dracula at the end, but I only see you have less than 1000 in your run? Did I miss something?
Haha, thanks for proving all the haters wrong. I loved the way you avoided the entire Richter fight. That was a classic. Who needs rings when you can just speed by the damn bastard?
Totally legit. Nice.

I use the Shoulder Buttons to Shield Dash after i configure the Back Dash to L2 and the Shield to R2.

I guess you could say that shield dashing is a good rule of thumb

Who told you that? Only things you need to get to Drac are all the parts of Vlad.

I've used the "first knuckle" method for other games, but I don't think I could do it as consistently as you do. Thanks for posting this!

Your SOTN run was great! After watching this..I don't see how in the world you did this for 40 minutes. Remind me not to thumb wrestle with you.
