4up: Castlevania

TestZero, Ozzie Arcane, Isaac the Media Hunter, and Johnny "The Achievement Whore" Chase, race in the NES classic Castlevania.

Rules: Savestates are allowed, but only when saving after death. This is to prevent the players from having to repeatedly play through the same levels over and over. (This is later rescinded in order to make sure the players actually finish in a timely fashion.)

If this video proves to be popular, we will definitely do another one. (Leave your suggestions below!) Share, Subscribe, and Enjoy!

I was rooting for Isaac. Not only did he play the game at the slower PAL speed (which, in a race, is a disadvantage), but he did AMAZINGLY well for someone who has never played the game before.

@TrenArvis Isaac is surprisingly good at video games in general. I was quite impressed with his showing as well.

What are the ground rules to these races? i.e. save states and such.

[DragonslayerProd]

@gokaury varies depending on the game. In this case, saving was allowed only after death, since you lose your weapons/powerups anyway.

Your blind player is impressive! I didn't get past stage 3 in an entire weekend. My strategy against Drac's 2nd form is slightly different, even though it took me a while to work it out.

[DragonslayerProd]

@crippledbazooka yeah, ProtonJon already did it, which was sort of what inspired us to do this one.

I think this was entertaining. I beat CV1 for the first time 3-4 days ago and it took a while. Figuring out that jumping and hitting Dracula's second form did a lot more damage made it a lot easier. I didn't grind any hearts or levelled up the weapon before the fight.

Nice, I'm currently working on a lp of this so I know all the speed running tactics. :P

O-o this was amazing,the only way I could beat Dracula was by cheating, I got to Dracula Legit as a Kid but could never beat em. Time to pay Castlevania 1 a visit

@Mordain607 That's interesting. MM3 is a cakewalk for me. i.e. check out my youtube page. I have videos of me playing both games and I have a tough time with MM1 in comparison.

@gokaury

Nah. Megaman 3 is harder, IMO.

@DragonslayerProd Can I join you in it? o3o

Great video guys. Keep up the good work!

@RequiemPwnagePSN I wouldn't mind doing a metroid race.
