"this is the chaotic realm, hence all of the sepia tones" was not lost on me

I always loved Aria of Sorrow, and it's bosses felt the hardest ever. Speedrunners always leave me in awe on how can a game be run.

Why is chaos said to be so hard? He was a total pushover the first I fought him and I didn’t even do any research on his moveset before I fought him.

Death was just complete busted. It was a substantial difficulty spike on the Death boss fight itself, and then it goes down again because the worst is behind you.

18:49 Ah yes, SDGQ, Summer Dames Gone Quick, my favorite event of the year

Castlevania speedruns are so fascinating to dive into, all the minor optimizations and RNG manipulations are so cool to see!

This was my gateway Castlevania. Watching speedruns, especially recent developments on Julius runs with extreme zips is a higher level of pleasure.

I love the art of speedrun, so much strategy involved and all done in the shortest possible time, each run is unique.

You're telling me that last month i played through this game for the first time i was wasting my time catering my equipment to the luck stat? That's funny

Aria and Dawn are my two favorite games in the series. I spent many, many, many days and weeks collecting souls, playing and replaying the games and seeing someone beat it in less time than a coffee break is both amazing and very humbling in skill.

To be fair, 100% completion speedruns take a while too.

You’re finding your meta with each video, DB. I fucking loved this one. It feels like when you take time during your streams to explain a mechanic or a route. The details, the thoroughness, and the humor are all here. Seriously great, dude 🤘🏻

Claiomh Solais is supposed to be pronounced closely resembling "Clausolas". DB will appreciate this because this is a Yu-Gi-Oh card lol

thanks for covering this run, really great work DB!

I absolutely LOVE speedrun explanations like this. Love to see more of these DB!

Really awesome breakdown, enjoyed hearing both of you explain the mechanics. I'll have to watch some more Aria of Sorrow speedruns soon. Editing and narration on this one was on point as well, definitely one of my favorite videos you've created

Great video! Glad to see it come out after hearing about it on Dr4gonBlitzDaily for a while.

Awesome. I always love seeing your efforts to explain and display cool speedrun tech in the community.

I love your speedrun analysis videos. Keep up the good work!

Bro, I legit forgot I was watching one of your videos and when you were like "I'm here with one of the best Castlevania speedrunners." I was fully expecting you to say Dr4gonBlitz.

I love the documentary style here. *chefs kiss*

What a banger of a video. Loving to see these collabs, first Adef and now Jup.

What a cool video. I love the deep and detailed explanations into all the tech involved in achieving such an amazing run.

Great stuff DB, I love this kind of video!

Really cool video! It's nice to see you branch to other castlevanias 😃

great video. loving the guests to showcase speedruns

Awesome Video, great content and very well explained. LOVED IT!

Amazing video! Very easy to follow and superb commentary from JupiterClimb.

I did a bit of speedrun of this game, mainly Julius runs but did some Soma any% no 0HP and seeing it got sub 11 its just beautiful, now i want to play it again.

2:30 reminds me of a few skills in Shining Soul II that don't work, like the Dragonite's elemental resistance skill, which increases the visual number of your resistances, but the game doesn't take it into calculation

perfectly done video and a perfect run great vid DB

Super slick video DB! Great job! You're getting really really good at making videos. Thank you! 😊

thank you for making this video guys i loved it

DB and JupiterClimb collab

Loved this! Really appreciate this vid. Was very entertaining!

Best video you've ever done. Well done dude.

This is always something I wondered. The luck stat in Aria of Sorrow doesn't work. Ok this is something I have to ask. Is Koji Igarashi allergic to functioning luck stats ? It feels like in all his games the luck stat either is broken or worthless. Even in Bloodstained the luck stat scales weird.

Wow, glad to see one of your vids pop off like this! And this one is really well done.

it's especially insane to think about how like, even if you ran past everything without fighting, just running normally through the castle without glitches, 11 minutes probly isn't enough time to run from the start of the castle to the last room

Speedrunners are truly the craziest, most persistent people on earth. This was an amazing run.

The metroidvania GOAT Always a delight to see runs of this game, and cool to see some analysis on how its done.

Great video explaining the basis of an entire speedrun in a short amount of time. To clarify on zips, "human" Soma gets zipped upwards whereas any transformation (Bat, Manticore, etc.) zips horizontally opposite to the where you are looking. Hence why, in the arena zip, being 2 pixels in a wall after Right + L (backdash) + R (Bat Transform) causes a zip to the left. Also, loading from a suspend puts Soma in Human form where he entered the room. As for where zips send you, there are two main types that rely on your X and Y position in a room and the memory address associated with a room. If you leave a room on the left, you end up on the right of the room on its left, normal stuff. If this is via a zip, your X and Y position isn't that of any entrance/exit to the room and therefore in a wall/floor/pillar. However, if there is no room to the left, the game takes some data which shouldn't be used as room's memory address as the memory address for a room.... Co-incidentally, this memory address can be the same as that of another room somewhere else in the castle and so it sends you to that room. As it still tries to account for your previous X and Y postion, this usually ends up in a wall.

Randomly found your channel, solid content keep it up!

bro your video just appeared in timeline and I gotta say, your channel is awesome! hoping that one day you got more subs, u deserve it!

It was based on seeing your run SOTN that got me to play it for the first time ever a few years ago. Since then my 360 finally red ringed on me which sucks. These videos are always interesting to me.

I love this community! I have never vibed quite like this before!

WHAT?!?

Hell of a good video DB❣️Very professional too! 😊

Aria speedruns really changed from the last time I checked. Learned new stuff!

Speedruns and explanations gives me so much comfort. Thank you for this content

This is utterly hilarious...... often I think about people using their time to do utterly pointless stuff and roll my eyes but this is so hilarious and the commitment to doing it so beyond me that I kind of love this! My afternoon is a little brighter for havei g been distracted into watching this 😂🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for explaining how the RNG manipulations work, I've always been fascinated by that stuff. Can't pull any of it OFF...

Dang, you got the real Hammer to collaborate with you instead of dr4gonblitz

When I played this game just a month ago, I enjoyed taking all my time getting all the souls haha. This kind of speed run is just totally impossible for me. Knowing that there are those kinds of tricks that can be done with this game is just impressive.

Great video, dawg 💯

Excellent video. Praise be to Joel

cheers mate love the content and commentary. have a sub and please keep it up

I like watching stuff I already know from my favorite childhood game. 11/10 video

That run by chewy is pure insanity. Execution was absolutely on-point. Really awesome vid, came out awesome! The collab was super nice!

❤ thank you much for the title of the video. It made me laugh out loud all morning.

Nice video !

U guys are truly artists!

I saw chewy4u's run first day on KZread. It was so impressive! Kudos to covering it and breaking it down.

thank u I learned a lot

Easily one of my favorite videos of all time.

the pixel perfect damage boost jump is what speedrunning is all about. shaving off time in the weirdest way (weird in relation to normal play)

If SummoningSalt wont do it, Db will do it, and do it classy!

Collabing with these runners for other games to explain the tricks required to make a run work provides such a cool insight and makes for entertaining and informative videos. Thanks @JupiterClimb !

I could never do speedrunning, especially not a Metroidvania game. I love playing through them and enjoying the story and mechanics.

I love aria of sorrow. It's my second favorite Castlevania.

The best vídeo i watch in this channel, so fucking clean. And Jupiter is awesome in comments

actually "nerd emoji engaged" you only need dracula souls for the first phase of the graham fight

great video!!!!

14:34 COMMUNITY

FWIW, a guy from my D&D group who is from the UK pronounces Claimh Solais "clive solash" or thereabouts. (It was in a game he DM'd themed around Irish stuff.) I told him that made sense because all letters are made up anyway. Dunno if that's completely accurate, as I'm just relaying secondhand here, but since it came up, there ya go.

GG WR!!! What an intense ride!

Another DB banger? Yes 👀

I played this game when I was little and it’s so frustrating seeing you complete it so easily when I took days to complete this game

this was so cool

This Speedrun is the equivalent to a Mario Speedrun but with rng manipulation, I am absolutely stunned by runners that have the dedication to do this speedruns

4:17 is crazy to even think about. I've never even heard of any sub-pixel perfect tricks before this one, and here's one where you have to also get the perfect damage boost right after too. I can barely wrap my head around this shit! Super Castlevania IV will always be my favorite but I have a lot of respect for sotn and the gba games because the speedrunners are absolutely insane! Keep it up guys!

that... was a pretty interesting video xD

Excellent video, game looks fun to run. My little Irish soul is damaged seeing the Claíomh Solais spelled like that in game though, and pronounced like that by the community.
