I absolutely love Maria because the random animals that she uses to attack enemies with turns out to be the four gods Suzaku, Genbu, Seiryuu, and Byakko. My favorite creatures from the Japanese and Chinese mythos.
@@veejonesify Because he is the one that decided to make those changes to Maria's gameplay & voice from the Sega Saturn version in favor of his own version.
I did some looking into this, and while there was Maria data in the PS version, it was claimed that she was never added as a playable due to time constraints. What throws me, is that here we are 25 years later since SoTN's initial release, and Konami hasn't gone "well damn, consoles are much better now to handle large amounts of data...why don't we touch up the graphics some, and make a definitive version?"
I love this game, but seeing those Maria sprites (didn't play the saturn version) is something. Really nice animations. I wish Konami would release a true complete version of the game, with all the Saturn content, without having to emulate a Japanese Saturn version.
@Cor Draconibus I've heard something like that, but at least it would be nice to have everything that exist into one game, to acknowledge this "lost" content.
@@rustyjones7908 Yeah that's what why I say that there's no real "definitive edition", the saturn graphics suck (and the emulation makes it even worse).
Konami is busy in mocking their intellectual properties and franchise. And they also producing shit to run their pachinko machines to make money to survive & produce more and more shit games. Old days of Konami are long gone. A great company ruined their great IPs (Castlevania, MGS, Contra, Silent Hill, Sunset riders etc..) from which they could possibly gain a lot of money and fame. So shameful.
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
this is the saturn maria i wish there was a port that had both maria variants the extra dialogue and the music test and the extra saturn stuff we need a perfected amalgamated version
Unfortunately the team that worked on the Saturn version messed it up by just porting it over instead of making the game for Saturn which does 2d better then ps1 so it's been said to not be as good even with the extra stuff
@@N7uy66u They should have either 1: Taken advantage of the Saturns two processors instead of relying on one, or 2: build the game up from scratch so it could utilize the Saturn's hardware strengths
Great gameplay as María in Castlevania Symphony of the Night,is a awesome character and her magic power and fight skills makes her an incredible extra character 👌👍😉
This is why I only date women who fly 20 feet in the air and repeatedly drop kick everybody all within a fraction of a second. It saves me the trouble of having to fight anybody who heckles us.
Ive beat this game twice, once original and once psn download with over 200% completion. Never knew you could use her as a character. I lucked out and got the crissaegrim or whatever and thought i was a god.
I love how it looked like Olrox was trying so hard to be a gentleman and not hit a girl. Even though she just barged into his room, kicked him in the shin before he even stood up from his chair, and started beating the absolute hell out of him for no apparent reason. Then, after being a doormat for so long, he finally gives a warning shot and basically conveys the feeling of "You know what, I'm done" without saying a word. Just transforming and finally doing something besides moving about.
Hey Shadowserg, I noticed you are using the 4MB patch! I didn't see any slowdown on the Beelzebub and Legion boss fights. You should put a link or something in the description so other people can try out this hack!

Time passes to quickly. How i miss these games🥲 Castlevania series will always remain one of my favorite games especially SotN
This version of Maria was such a badass. Not like the revamped version that just throws birds at you like some crazy bird lady.

Back at where we began. Been following your vids since 2006 on the Castlevania/Dracula forums. This is close to nostalgic now.
Man I wish this was available on the xbox version, would've been awesome to play as her. Thank you shadow for showing us the boss battle with Marie.

Playing as either Ritcher or Maria in SOTN is a gamble but it comes with the following advantages & disadvantages that Alucard doesn't have in his scenario side of the main game.
Advantages - Is Faster & Stronger then Alucard
Owns *Several Contexted Prompted* Input Skills that can *easily break* the game if used correctly
Both The Familars & Sub Weapons can be Desperate Special Skills to get outta sticky situations
Owns a Super Jump w/o obtaining a Power Up Perk (Main Game Only used by Alucard btw)
DisAdvantages - Owns Only a Full Single HP Bar (u lose this? You DIE Period. there is no Reviving Sadly)
Can't Obtain Enviromental Power Ups Like Alucard Did (aka Wolf, Bat, & Fog Form Power Ups) Can't Use A Inventory Or Items Either Nor Can Neither Access The Library Shop Either
Owns a OLTL (One Life To Live) PlayStyle
Deemed Impossible To Do A 100% Full Map Exploration Run Due To *Most Areas Inaccessible* using those 2 characters
Neither Character can Confront True Dracula on here
Can Be Unlocked & Playable by Clearing Main Game
