Glad everyone enjoyed the run! I couldn't have asked anything more for a marathon run, Bloodlines has a way of not playing nice when ever it feels like it (as you saw in stage 1). Once I get this run to sub 30 (only 4 more seconds to cut) I'll basically be done with it. If you want to see more of the game then feel free to drop by my twitch page!
It's actually one of the easiest speedrun tricks to pull off. If you've played the game much you can probably do it yourself in a try or two! Basically the Golem boss that appears on the right hand side of the screen after killing water mage has an A.I. that is programmed to back up anytime an Item crash axe is on screen. So if i throw the item crash axe away from him, he'll back up far enough that the game will consider him to be gone from memory and will trigger the other golem with the halberd who appears on the left side. This trick is made really easy by the fact that there is an axe in the candle right before that mini-boss. You can actually do the same trick to the blue golem sub boss in stage 5, as he's programmed the same way, however this will soft lock the game since making him leave does not trigger the exit from that room and you'll be stuck! Thank you for the kind words on the run! :D
***** Thanks in large part to your runs, I finally managed to upload a successful attempt at beating this game deathless! Obviously far from your level of mastery, and messed up the "boss skip" that I did plenty of times in practice, but hey, I'll take what I can get. Maybe I'll work on serious speed and learn more about "skips" down the road, but it's good enough for now. Thanks again!
I remember that game being quite hard. In fact, I'm not even sure I ever reached anything beyond the first two or three chapters of Stage 6. Even reaching Stage 5 seemed like a pain in the ass. Granted, I was a kid when I played it the most and I might have had another go at it as a teenager. But even that was 10+ years ago. Seeing that vid all those years later, it seems so easy. That man is very good.
I can't understand why he's playing this game if he doesn't like it. Also, I hardly understand the comments against Mega Drive's audio chip. Its Fm synthetic sound was amazing and it's still influential on many electronic musicians.
This is a good run, most runs I see are just exploits, like spamming a particular op weapon or something like that. You actually run through quickly and even still play the game, gj!
One nice thing about Bloodlines is that the RNG is most heavy early on in stage 1. After than really only the harpies in stage 3 and one fight in stage 6 have much RNG that's actually important to work around. Lecarde is definitely more RNG heavy than Morris through. Thank you kindly for the compliments on the run!
You can explain what your doing in the middle of a speed run? Why isn't your brain being studied as a blueprint for the next generation of multithreading CPUs?
natalman no i think that they were specifically talking about castlevania since the story for everything prior to symphony of the night was just the same "someone's resurrecting dracula (blank) is the only one who can stop it." the fact that they tried to build a story by saying "yeah we don't have one but go read this book some other guy wrote and look there's a story to this game!" is just kind of funny
in super metroid you can save the animals or let them die. "saving the animals" implies that you gonna have to go and save them, but also implies that you will waste more time on the speedrun. sometimes they choose to "kill the animals", well, not "killing" them but let them die. and yes, is the most well known highlight on the entire event

Jeez, this runner and the couch constantly talk over one another as well as the announcer chick. 27:38 is a really good example where the runner doesn't even acknowledge that she's talking, it's like everyone revolves around him and he's only aware of himself lol. 31:48 - He's like, If you have donations, nows the time. Then doesn't even let her read them lol.

I would not be able to commentate that well and speedrun at the same time. This dude is good.

How did you get the level 2 sub-boss to disappear like that? Amazing, amazing, amazing stuff all around.

Thank you for running one of my favorite genesis games :)
Liked the trick at the watermage :D

Great run! One of my favorite Castlevania games.
The Castlevania series are always a pleasure to play and I return to them on a regular basis.
This guy has a nice narrative style and voice.
Appreciate the compliments!
So cool to see the games that I grew up with still being appreciated (and mastered) today!
The run - and other things - start at 4:20

This is probably one of the best sega genesis games and best castlevania games in my opinion classic
This dude is amazing :D Loved the commentary and the run!
No franchise escapes the Genesis-style graphics
except when some snes games look like master system games :o
Klaige is a monster! Be sure to follow his Twitch channel; he's been working on sub-30 attempts for this game. It does not disappoint.
So epic. I agree, this game's OST is underrated. Probably the only one I like nearly as much as Curse of Darkness's.
Ah the chills flowing down my spine hearing the OST. Feels good man.
Watched it live and one of my favorite runs. The runner is just awesome in a weird way.
I fuckin love bloodlines
Great run in all ways, great commentary etc.
Best Castlevania game ever, besides maybe some of the great DS Castlevanias.
Could of done without the Nintendo fanboy comments during the entire run, get the fuck over it tubby.
Soundtrack from this game was composed by Michiru Yamane if I'm not mistaken? Same person who did the music on Symphony Of The Night.
4:20 Blaze it up
I can't understand why he's playing this game if he doesn't like it. Also, I hardly understand the comments against Mega Drive's audio chip. Its Fm synthetic sound was amazing and it's still influential on many electronic musicians.
I will never understand runner who plays games they dont like. Masochism?
This game has more bosses than vanilla WoW.
Nice, good to see FlameNinja23 on the couch!
run starts at 4:12
Awesome commentary! :)
When I played Contra Hard Corps on Mega Drive, I've learned that I didn't get enough boss in my life
Play Alien Soldier,it's boss heaven.
lol lets make fun of "blast processing" because if this was on the snes it would lag even more, so why not?
Great run
32:00 Nancy's donation got read on this one!
Great commentary on this run.
That indeed. I wish all runs had commentary like this
curupa66 Most do.
This is a good run, most runs I see are just exploits, like spamming a particular op weapon or something like that. You actually run through quickly and even still play the game, gj!
For all the supposed RNG this seems like a very skill intensive run. Well done.
One nice thing about Bloodlines is that the RNG is most heavy early on in stage 1. After than really only the harpies in stage 3 and one fight in stage 6 have much RNG that's actually important to work around.
Lecarde is definitely more RNG heavy than Morris through.
Thank you kindly for the compliments on the run!
You could say this game is so "boss".
All your boss are belong to us
The werewolf looks like its pissing on the ground. Hahaha
that room smells like farts and corn chips
such a good game.
is that harry potter on the left?
lol
Klaige looks a lot like Robert Kirkman to me, and that's pretty cool.
The gaming world is interesting. bunch of wizards and warriors

Why "lolSTORY"? I didn't think the plot was that bad- it was kinda cool they intergrated the novel into the Castlevania series...
natalman Ohh, okay then... LOLs, well, there goes all the confusion of it then! ^^;
natalman no i think that they were specifically talking about castlevania since the story for everything prior to symphony of the night was just the same "someone's resurrecting dracula (blank) is the only one who can stop it." the fact that they tried to build a story by saying "yeah we don't have one but go read this book some other guy wrote and look there's a story to this game!" is just kind of funny
Is this Ghosts and Goblins: Dracula Edition?
LOL that description.
Reads like something Yatzee would come up with, and I love it.
Klaige must be drowning in clunge
Am I missing a joke here? What's with all the "kill the animals" donation comments?
in super metroid you can save the animals or let them die. "saving the animals" implies that you gonna have to go and save them, but also implies that you will waste more time on the speedrun. sometimes they choose to "kill the animals", well, not "killing" them but let them die. and yes, is the most well known highlight on the entire event

I would have given the bosses in the final boss rush double health!! :D
Castleorgasmic~
Awesome...
This run 100% or no?
Very rude to speak over a lady, and when someone is donating $150.00?
C'mon guys, manners next year. Please.
Personally I much prefer this over runs where the donation person is constantly talking and the runners barely get to speak.
Jeez, this runner and the couch constantly talk over one another as well as the announcer chick. 27:38 is a really good example where the runner doesn't even acknowledge that she's talking, it's like everyone revolves around him and he's only aware of himself lol.
31:48 - He's like, If you have donations, nows the time. Then doesn't even let her read them lol.
Most speedrunners are full of sh*t it seems, big ego, attention seekers
I like the idea of these videos but I hate that we can't see a full screen of the game. I want to see the game not you playing the game. 😒
I love this game, but the 2nd form of Camila is a garbage.
niu bi
not a girl in sight.
