Shield Dashing

There are two purposes for this video:

1) To prove that I do not use a turbo controller.

2) A how-to video showing the method I use to get around in Symphony of the Night. After watching this, perhaps you will use this method too. It'll definitely speed up your game.

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?

[Satoryu]

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

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

[koippis]

Ill try that thanks!My thumb is bigger than yours(Its not the size,but how you use it..Right?)

[Wakabomp]

This is how i play to i could play with every button only with the thumb its really good when you know how to use it your really good

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.

Awesome speedrun BTW.

[nevernick]

is it alternate? i cannot do that fast bcause i only play on emulator. i copied your run it took me 51 min.. thx 4 uploading!!

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.

[Ghebatta]

This was my exact thought.
