How the Scroll Glitch revolutionized Castlevania

In April of 2021, Castlevania's Speedrunning scene witnessed a stunning discovery that shook the game to its core. This is the story of that discovery, how the technique evolved over time, and what the future holds for the Any% category.

I realized I never explained what a Crit is during this video.
Short version: If Simon gets hit on the same frame he'd hit an enemy with the whip, it deals massive damage.
Long version: Check out this fantastic video from Displaced Gamers that explains exactly how it works (they also made an excellent video on the Scroll Glitch as well!): ruclips.net/video/hfIka7Z73Zw/видео.htmlsi=SvbvqwaEi-3mFw92

Amazing video, happy this glitch's history has now been documented in a video form. Good stuff!

Fun watch. It's amazing the research and brainpower that went into these strats from you and others in the community. Not to mention the practice tools you and others have developed to help the community get better.

Epic video! I've watched these done by runners, but didn't quite understand the mechanics. Appreciate the work you put in!

Using the cv pal version music was a nice touch! 👍👍

[@SBDWolf]

It's not quite the PAL soundtrack! It's the NTSC soundtrack, slowed down by specific amounts, at similar speeds to the PAL soundtrack, but not quite.

[@sheepdog_81]

Still made my day! 👍🤣

Now you know why in SOTN it's called a creature of chaos.
It's literally true.

[@ruminator3570]

A Castlevania video about speedruns that has a thumbnail video of the count and Cookie monster. Well this is it.
There's nowhere else to go from here people.

[@samuraidoggy]

I think he is cheating.
