Maaaan, again, thanks to this video, it really made me play and experience the Saturn version which now is my fav due to this particular Maria along other things. Instantly replayed Requiem and missed the boss fight against this version which was so fun
Congratulations on the new "Ultimate" version for the Saturn by Team Meduza & paul_met that includes both the translation from Japanese to English + 4MB RAM Expansion capabilities!
I can understand why they made her weaker for the mobile version of the game. In the mobile version of the game all the powerful spells would be easy to access through icon's but for PSP and PS4 you would have to use the codes shown on screen so idk about those versions.
@@creambred in the mobile version you can already do the super op stuff like soul steal and wing smash in one button, playing richter on mobile is super easy (and fun tbh) because of that they made this maria mode trying to be more similar to her rondo of blood counterpart, which wasn't a bad idea (even tho saturn maria was so god damn good already) but they made her attacks so weak! she's literally rondo of blood's easy mode due to her superior movement and strenght in that game but in the hd versions of sotn shes the weakest character for no reason!
Still pisses me off how Maria got nerfed down a lot in the PSP and Requiem port. In the Sega Saturn version she’s super OP and she has some amazing sprites that were never re-used in the other version. I don’t know why the devs never used ANY of Sega Saturn sprites nor abilities.
In Rondo of Blood, Maria was made to be an "easier" way of beating the game, as she was OP. If she had continued training, by the time sotn rolled around and Richter went missing, her adult self would have absolutely torn the castle apart. However, if Maria didn't train, she'd just be PSP Maria, arguably the weakest Sotn playable character
Which makes absolutely no sense. Because according to the plot it is clearly clear that Maria is weaker than Richter and she cannot defeat him. Alucard did it.
@@BiriBiri925 Clear is a strong word, considering she didn't even try. She just wasn't sure she was capable of defeating him or, in fact, saving him. It is possible that she would have been able to defeat him, but she preferred that Alucard do so, given the possibility that the only viable conclusion could end up being to kill Richard.
@@faleilham8334 It depends. If you do the good endings, in which Alucard saves Richard, she tells Richard that she is in love with the Dampiro. In the best scenario, Richard encourages her to go after Alucard. In the other one, Maria tells Richard that she understands the pain of Dampiro, who has just killed his own father, but that there is nothing she can do to alleviate such suffering. Then, they both leave. Finally, if Alucard kills Richard, she says to the Dampiro that she understands that the situation demanded that, or something along those lines, and leaves. And, if Alucard didn't get the Holy Glasses with Maria before the Fight, I believe that some lines of their conversation changed, but I don't remember for sure.
@@Chernobog2 it's her basic attack which is a spirit gun and her guardian knuckle which is Yusuke's spirit punch is why I believe Iga was a Yu Yu Hakusho fan. Her Guardian knuckle from other versions looks like a JoJo stand so no doubt he likes that too. You can use a spell similar to Kurama's rose whip in Circle of Moon. So lots of hints around. I know the mystical beasts are from Chinese legend.
_Translator:_ The last combination is very difficult, even if you know how to do it. This is what it looks like: U, UB, B, DB, D, DF, F, UF, Charge U, D+Attack So you spin 360 degrees and Charge U, release U and press D+Attack.
I always wondered how she was surviving in that castle on her own! Not to say that she couldn't have, I just wanted to know _how_ a (seemingly) normal person could last that long in Dracula's castle lol. Now I know why-she's ✨️magic!✨️

I swear Japanese always get the better version in any game compare to PAL/NTSC release. PSP/PS4 maria was very horribly made. Even the underground tunnel and some bosses are removed completely in the English version.

So clear and straight to the point. Thanks for this great quality video.

Where can I download?!
This version is much better than the Psp version. Not sure why they want to make her so weak and different from this.
I can understand why they made her weaker for the mobile version of the game. In the mobile version of the game all the powerful spells would be easy to access through icon's but for PSP and PS4 you would have to use the codes shown on screen so idk about those versions.
although psp guardian knuckle is way better and stronger
@@creambred in the mobile version you can already do the super op stuff like soul steal and wing smash in one button, playing richter on mobile is super easy (and fun tbh) because of that

she's literally rondo of blood's easy mode due to her superior movement and strenght in that game but in the hd versions of sotn shes the weakest character for no reason!
Because it is literally broken in this version. It's certainly fun, but games should have at least a minimum balance.
@creambred The mobile version is the pure, straight up port of the PSP vesion.
Dude like WTF! This Maria game mechanics were awesome!. Why did they changed it in later versions?
Because this Maria is too op.
@@micaholson1052 is that even a problem? Even Richter is too op. The game is only challenging as alucard. Richter's only real danger were the traps.

You’re the master of this game lol
Wow, she has so many quality sprites that went completely unused in the PSP version. That’s really quite disappointing.
maria looks more natural at the start then alucard
I knew I wasn't the only one thinking that alucard's running animation was lame, literally the walk animation only added the afterimages, pathetic
Ok... I've GOTTA hook my Saturn up again...
Thanks.
I wish They'd Release the Saturn Version, instead of the PSP Version in Castlevania Requiem.
The button moves is kinda like from Alucard spells

@@feliperavasio763 according to fans. She just fell in love with Alucards i dunno is it true or not? 😅😅

@@feliperavasio763if you dont get the holy glasses. Maria isn't even there. Alucard alone gives his farewells to his homeland and leaves.
Iga was definitely watching Yu yu hakusho when he made this Maria.
Genbu, Byakko, Seiryu, and Suzaku all predate YYH by centuries

does running reset spells? because every time i try the invincibility one i run for a frame when i press right and it never executes.
I think so, I don't remember, but the last spell was very difficult to do.
Why ps4 haven’t mp bar?
It's probably about the differences between the Sega Saturn and PSP/PS4 versions.
¿Pero como averias estos moves sin guias? ¿Las magias?
Hello bro, one question, what is the button that I have to let load or press, I did not understand well in the last movement?
_Translator:_
The last combination is very difficult, even if you know how to do it. This is what it looks like:
U, UB, B, DB, D, DF, F, UF, Charge U, D+Attack
So you spin 360 degrees and Charge U, release U and press D+Attack.
Tinha que ter a maria no ps1 🤭

How do you charge her attacks without attacking?
I hold the button after the earlier attack.
She is strongest character even in child version.
Sorry, but how do you charge (like for invincibility)
Oh you meant charge (hold) the button afterwards sorry never mind)
This sucks .the version I'm playing has a seriously nerfed maria,jeeze
Do they actually play this song in the saturn version if u use maria? And whats it called again
From what I remember, yes. The song is called:
Vampire killer remix 2

command very hard ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ
Invincibility is the hardest. Then Healing.
@@3dhYT bro, thx for doing video on my request.
This Maria moves and Saturn stage exclusive is my request.
Thank you
the horse animation is kind of crappy. They could have reused Rondo of blood horses.
