WHO DO YOU DESPISE?
I'm keeping this to canon Belmonts, so no mentions of poor Desmond and not-so-poor Sonia.
I think for me, it's Richter. It's nothing against him per say, but more against the fact that for the longest time, DXC was my only available Castlevania and I just got overexposed. And then I Portrait'd my Ruin and GUESS WHO WAS THE UNLOCKABLE BELMONT? :o
Shortly after, I bought a second copy of the Double Pack, plus Dawn of Sorrow and Order of Ecclesia and all was well.
-
I don't hate any of the canon Belmonts. I guess Christopher just because I don't find him to be even remotely interesting.
-
I don't really hate any of the Belmonts, but for the least liked I guess it would be Julius. Old guy's a bit of a slow whipper compared to the other Belmonts (though not so much in AoS. And I'm counting based on how long it takes for the whip to snap forward, not the total length of the animation), and the only notable move he has is Omnia Vanitas (which only saw use in AoS and HD), which isn't really all that useful compared to, say, Richter's tackle.
-
I don't personally hate any of the Belmonts either. But I can say that I'm dissatisfied with the Juste Belmont design. He was clearly based off of Alucard's design; White long hair, pale complexion, etc. It's as if Ayami Kojima didn't give him enough of his own true identity or even attempt to. No offense to her but I personally think Juste' character should've been handled much better.
-
In terms of liking the Belmonts the least, there's Julius, and that's because he's mostly "tell, don't show." If I can't see his badassery in actual action and not exclusive to bonus scenarios, I can't buy it.
There's also Richter and his wading through the levels in Rondo as if he was walking through molasses. I want Maria but I can't get past that stupid axe knight. [/complaining]
-
I don't have a least favorite Belmont. If we're counting the LoS world I'm not the biggest fan of Gab but I don't hate him. So, I guess you could say him?
-
Like most everyone else in this thread, I don't dislike any of them yet.
I'll just say Trevor because Simon was first, and Konami went with the typical route of doing a prequel after a sequel to expand on the story.
-
:-\In all honesty I say (to me anyway) Trevor. Only because he needed three people to complete his quest to defeat the fated ol' count,(besides julius in DoS because julius went through the castle by himself in AoS) ;D
-
Well, as a rule I don't particularly hate any character brandishing the Vampire Killer. If I had to choose though, it would be Leon (hands down).
Can we please make Jonathan count? It's not that I don't enjoy all of the sub-weapons... I just can't stand his character design, along with everyone else in Portrait of Ruin. What's amusing is that it's otherwise my favorite DS title—it's that enjoyable.
-
You seem like you're new Lashen. Welcome to the forums!
-
Many thanks.
Yeah, technically new. This is a second account I made a couple of years ago, with the intent to start posting again. At that time, I think my last hiatus was around 2008(?). Unfortunately though, I didn't get around to it until now—a lot of moving and distraction.
Just trying to get the wheels turning on my end. :)
-
:-\In all honesty I say (to me anyway) Trevor. Only because he needed three people to complete his quest to defeat the fated ol' count,(besides julius in DoS because julius went through the castle by himself in AoS) ;D
Are you serious? Trevor fought and defeated Dracula, Alucard, Death, Grant, Hector, Isaac in Pachislot 3, and countless of other evil things. He also saved Sypha during his journey. He's fucking awesome!
-

The Pachislot games are not canon IIRC.
-
I know. I just wanted to add Isaac to the list. Pachislot 3 is basically just a retelling of Castlevania 3 anyway. Trevor defeated the rest during Dracula's Curse and Curse of Darkness.

Isn't that non-canon? We might as well count Trevor Mode in Curse of Darkness, then.
-
Man, it's been awhile!
Anyway, I'd have to agree with the general sentiment here with that there are no hated Belmonts (canon or otherwise!).
Going with least favorite...probably Soleiyu. Attacking your own father like that? For shame!
-
Gabriel, I dont dislike him (I think), but its my least favorite.
edit: typo.
-

AoS Julius mode is not canon. But he still went through the Castle by himself in Soma story
-
I'm not a Richter fan, but he's pretty awesome compared to Juste. Juste was not only the zenith of how far you could take the bishonen element (Juste is prettier than most females in the series), but I hate so much about him. In particular, I hate his running animation, I hate his Mickey Mouse gloves, and I hate his clown shoes.
Of course, none of this is helped by the fact that Harmony of Dissonance is probably my least favorite game in the main series.
-
If Gabriel counts then he's by and large my least favorite, because I don't care for him as a character, a visual design, and I can't personally respect what he and his game represent.
Aside from him? Hmm. That's really tough to say. Interestingly, I never got too into Leon Belmont. I think every other character in Lament of Innocence, save for Sara, is a more interesting character, even Medusa and the Succubus. And I'm not all that into his design or voice acting, either. I don't dislike Leon, per se, but if I had to choose, then he probably does the least for me. Soleiyu even captivates me more than Leon, interestingly.
-

Jeje, good point :). I think I will pick Soleiyu, for the unique reason is the only one (I think) that don´t have his own game.
-
I always thought Julius was pretty overrated. I mean, it'd be impressive if he beat Dracula forever and made it so that he was never able to come back, but he didn't, because Soma. And it's also lame how he can be slidekicked into submission, and how he screams like a little girl when inside a painting in Harmony of Despair.
-
I'd say Christopher. Because nobody really cares about him and MoF did a good job closing the relationship as Trevor being Simon's father because if they brought in christopher, everyone would be like, "meh". Non-Canon wise...(https://castlevaniadungeon.net/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.animecourtyard.com%2Fgallery%2Fplog-content%2Fimages%2Fvideogame-art%2Fotomedius-excellent%2F6402xkokoro-belmont.jpg&hash=73e33625baf616ff61ac93bd8d5b0baa)
This... What the hell IGA. Don't disrespect Castlevania like that!
-
Heh heh, almost forgot about her till you reminded me. *Shake's head* IGA, IGA, IGA, what the hell man..!?
-
Considering the game that she is from you really should cut IGA some slack with this one. Jeesh!
-
how dare he disrespect the series with a dlc character in an obscure game. oh the humanity.
-
If I had to choose one, I'd say Gabriel Belmont, but since I believe he is not canon, that wouldn't count.
But esentially I like all Belmonts, canon and non-canon.
-
Juste Belmont, for reasons some mentioned. His look mimicked Alucard's from Symphony and took the white-haired white-skinned bishonen thing to the next level. Thought this was fine for Alucard in Symphony because he's not human, but on a Belmont it just felt out of place to me. Also not sure why Juste feels the need to dress up in his Sunday best to hunt vampires. To me the perfect look for a Belmont will always be the guy on the original Castlevania box art, and Juste was about as far from that as you could get.
-

I think Konami forced him to do it. ;D
Hmmm.... For the IGA timeline, I don't think I have a Belmont that is my least favorite.
For the LOS timeline, maybe Gabe. But I don't hate him.
I just always see OUAT's Rumplestilskin in him... Oh Robert Carlyle, what have you done? Everything's Rumples....
-
Aw, poor Juste. Everybody dissing him just because of his design. You know, Simon Belmont has had some truly... questionable designs, and he has even less personality to judge him by. Having just recently played through Dissonance again, I found Juste to be a rather likeable fellow. I think part of the reason I like him is because of the furniture collecting. It's hilarious that he seems to almost absentmindedly collect and set up all this furniture while is two best friends are in imminent peril. Dude's probably got a few screws loose up there. I'll agree that his sprite is... not great. XD
-
Least favorite is Richter. I just don't like his design - he doesn't look like Belmont IMO. He looks like a stereotypical Japanese shonen hero. That white headband... was it necessary?
Also, I think he's the weakest Belmont (except may be Soleiyu) . He was completely brainwashed by Shaft in SotN. ;D
-
Juste, because I just didn't care much for Harmony of Dissonance, and he looked like Alucard cosplaying as Santa Clause to me.

It was the early 90s, headbands made everyone look cooler. It's like shorthand for "I do so much asskicking I have to tie my hair back so I always have both hands free."
Lina Inverse had one (not to mention Trevor) so I rest my case.

:D :D Screws loose HAHA... (i think its meth... I mean look how fast his dash is; inexcusable!!!)
I agree!!Cut the guy some slack... lets believe his design was the way it was because of his adept ability when using spellbooks making his sub-weapons beast mode.I feel like the excess bishonen-ness is because the more magical feminine side is dominant in his design.
On topic though, i would have to say my least favorite canon Belmont would Christopher. It angers me that i have never beat his first game, the rebirth all because it seems like gravity is his enemy>>> or maybe i am not nearly as good as i would like to be :-\
-
I think is an analogy to Maxim's heart, Gaawa-chan, by acquiring all furnitures and putting them in the right place, its the same of Maxim resolving all his personal problems and doubts.
-
While I don't outright dislike Juste, his design just seems like Kojima was having some sort of artist's block at the time.
-
Welcome to the forum. Enjoy your stay while we suck your blood here.
-
Why, thank you. :)
btw, you guys wouldn't want my blood, it tastes like diabetes
-
even better, I like sweet blood
-
i meant it's actually diabetic blood, might be a little to tart for you guys.
After thinking a bit, post SotN Richter is about on par with Juste for me. He gets mind controlled by Shaft and he's all "oh no. my bloodlines has now been stain'd". Solieyu got his mind screwed with by the dark lord himself, at the age of 14 no less, and continued the Belmont lineage.
-
That is called plot-hole. Unless they explain it.
-
Leave it as a plot hole and let fan fiction fill the void since Konami would not fill it for you.
-
While I don't outright dislike Juste, his design just seems like Kojima was having some sort of artist's block at the time.
Well it was part of an attempt by Konami to make a game that you wouldn't have to sit in direct sunlight to play on the original GBA. Which was CotM's biggest flaw.
-
it definitely seems they ironed out the dimness from CotM, at the cost of lesser quality sound. but i still think HoD has some very memorable music. People knock Juste's power walk but then again, i can think of several belmonts who all walk different.... like every single one...
-

They made the color palette lighter at the expensive of atmosphere. This is a major reason HoD has aged poorly in comparison to the other two GBA titles imo, since we can now play those on a GBA SP or television where the darkness of the palette isn't an issue. And I think the tinny sound was a result of cramming in too many artistic details rather than the color selection, though I could be wrong. Either way I dislike HoD's soundtrack, along with the castle design and uh... most things about that game, but that's just me. I'm glad others enjoy it and to each their own.
-
Hmm I like all the Belmonts, but if I had to choose my least favorite, I'd have to go with....Simon.Okay you can call me an heretic, but I've never quite understood why he's so loved. Okay he's been in a lot of games, but I find his personality less charismatic than Trevor.Besides I didn't play the games he was on till very late, so I just didn't feel the impact these games had on people who grew up with them. Juste is my second least favorite, and if he wasn't into decoration he would be my least favorite ;D.
EDIT: Oh yeah I didn't say Gabriel, because I don't consider him a Belmont. Dracula can't be a Belmont!
-
because Simon is the crazy Belmont that fought Dracula 2 times in his full power (one was him himself that Resurrected Dracula)
and stood alive to tell the story.
and Lord of Shadow is a different game from Castlevania don´t mix the thing´s ^^.
-
I dont know is juste belmont is count for belmont, he is like alucard, overrated, is i can counted juste he is the worst belmont, other pretty boy, the most pretty boy of every ones, why he is the one i dont like less.

Juste is overrated? Most people don't seem to like him much at all. I'd say you're siding with the majority on that one. Or does he have a big fan base in Spain that I'm not aware of?

Anyway, I used to really like Richter, but in recent years I just don't find him all that interesting. Sure, he rescues maidens and his girlfriend, and he gets mindraped by Shaft. Maybe it's just because I played the hell out of Rondo and Symphony, and now I feel like it's overrated. Maybe it's because everyone I talk to about Castlevania thinks Richter is the ultimate Belmont. Whatever the case, he's really lost his appeal to me.

I would agree with you that Richter is not the ultimate Belmont.
I personally think Julius deserves the ultimate Belmont title.
-
I still like Richter, but I never considered him to be the most powerful, strongest, or even most beautiful Belmont.
The most powerful and strong must be between Simon and Julius. I'd say Simon because of his history.
And I already expressed my feelings about Juste.
Someone said (I don't know if in this post) that he resembles more Alucard to a Belmont. But that would make sense, had Legends not be removed from the canon, because Dracula and the Belmonts are related by blood (by the way, it would also make sense in the LoS canon, I'm hoping they include Juste in LoS 2).
-

Legends should have been canon, IMO.
Hmmm... that is a wish I do not want to make. brrrrr....
-
LoS 2 would end nicely with Julius making one last run. Far as the in-betweener Belmonts their stories should be set in stone

OR... if we don't take Legends into account, then maybe the Belnades half of his bloodline is a bit more prominent. He can still wield the Vampire Killer and use all those spells. The best of both sides of the family, heh. :rollseyes:
-
I agree, actually kind of mentioned it in an earlier post. Juste has a design with appeal to both sexes. His clothes look very regal and add the elegance alongside his somewhat calm demeanor. That coldness he seems to show could in fact be inspirations from Alucard's design. A true loner with undying love... That's why I prefer the ending where Juste destroys Maxim.
-
@son_the_vampire: I also prefer that ending. It's so poetic...
Julius making one last run, and dying heroically, would also be beautifully tragic.
@Shiroi: I'd love to see Legends back into canon, it's one of my favourite stories.

He was talking about Juste.
As for Julius, your scenario is oh so tragic.... but really beautiful. Then again he was training Curtis as his successor... (stupid Curtis... argh...) Don't worry people, the translation of Ricordanza is moving along well, but I'm still slow.
They should remake Legends and turn it canon.

is overrated because not peoples enough to hate him, no peoples should like him, if they like the manly warriors.

-
Nah, it must be the beauty of Juste's face.
I don't even mind to answer someone who hates Juste without a reason.
Maybe somebody needs to get out of the closet.
One hint: It makes you happier.

My least favorite is Juste. He's slow. He looks to much like Alucard. And, his most useful attacks come from his spell-fusions instead of the whip. In all fairness, he comes off as more of a male Belnades than a Belmont.
And yes, I know Sypha was his ancestor. It's just that Belmonts are suppose to be warriors with magical powers, they aren't suppose to be mages. I mean once you have the first spell book, you can in essence play are a raw mage. As I said, he plays more like a Belnades than a Belmont.
-

I will disagree with this portion of your statement. The ability to press L&R so rapidly to blaze through rooms isn't really slow IMO . I thought he was fastest Belmont (not counting in HoD Julius with a good Omnia Vanitas user). And if u were referring to him being slow mentally then that isn't right based solely on his Mage like characteristics. I believe any Belmont given a Jump kick isn't slow.

I meant his base walking speed without dashing. I know all the Belmonts have slow walking speeds, but his walking speed seemed to be the slowest. The dashing is unnecessary if they would've just made him walk a little faster.
-
If you know how to make him powerful, Juste is one of the best characters on the series in terms of power and gameplay. At least that's what I can tell from personal experience.
-

True, but he still plays more like a Belnades than a typical Belmont. I guess the Belnades genes are stronger in him than other member of the clan. Most Belmonts use the whip as their most damaging means of attack. With Juste, he does the most damage with magic just like his ancestor Sypha.
If there were MP MAX UPs (there aren't any), he could be played as a pure mage. Actually, even without them, I still use magic as my primary means of attack. I only really use the whip when I'm out of MP.
-
I'm sure maging him isn't a problem for you, you are Darkwizard after all :P
-
Perhaps that's why he is my favourite Belmont :)
-
I use the whip all the time in HoD, but I understand what you mean.
-

It's not. I actually prefer mages. I was just making the point that he's so radically different from the other Belmonts.
-

Cause he is special! :)
-
Yes he is! :)
-
Lets assume he is special due to his interior decorating skills adept use of spells! Definitely evolved from his granddad but not nearly as strong. I guess he uses them spells so he dont scratch his face from those excuses of monsters roaming the castle. He is special because he actually is friends with a NINJA and lived to tell about it :P
-
hmm... I'd prolly say Christopher just cuz his is the only game I haven't played yet nor have the means to play it... Not to mention the willingness to do so...
As much as I didn't like Concerto, I can't hate Juste... He was the first (canon) Belmont I ever played as... I liked his story, personality, and playstyle... I also liked his design, tho it prolly should be updated... Just... As much as I try to enjoy that game... That... damn music... Hokkai kills me every time I play it...
-
You can play Castlevania: The Adventure Reborth for the Wii if you want a Christopher's game which you'll surely like.
It's ClassicVania at its best, a type of game that can't miss.
-
"Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge" on the gameboy is also a great game featuring Christopher if you ever get a GB/GBC/GBA.

You recommend Rebirth? I should prolly go buy it before it gets taken off the wii virtual console to be moved to the wii u
-
question about rebirth; is jumping still a chore in this game? I'm talking about making sure he is damn near about to fall off the edge before you can clear certain jumps? I still have the original packed away somewhere but i dont believe ill be digging it up anytime soon. If they fixed that, then i will get it as well. My poor Wii is so crusty right now because i dont know of anyone playing Judgement anymore

It's a totally new game. It's the same story from the first Castlevania Adventure,but it plays like a Super Nintendo Castlevania. I say it's worth it. It's a fun game. The levels themselves change when you change difficulty settings, and if you hold the right button on the main menu, you get a level select for all the stages you've cleared.

Indeed. It's a totally new game. One of my favourites ClassicVanias. If you want to enjoy it, play it on hard mode. Normal mode is Easy, and Easy mode is Super Easy. Choose Classic Style, also, so when you get hit you go backwards, as in old school CV's.
I didn't know about that trick for selecting stages. I will try it!

My least favorite belmont is easily Julius. His sprites are just so damn ugly.

Even in AoS? :-/
-
Yeah. Even in AOS.
Something about him is just really lame to me.
-
But he is the strongest one, he just needs a game to prove it.
-
Hehehe... I'm wondering when will we ever have that 1999 game?
-
Julius had a really strong Holy Cross attack in AoS, but they seriously dumbed it down (sound effects and graphics-wise too) in DoS making him much weaker then he should have been. Although at this point, without the 1999 game to reveal his full potential, Julius in my mind is still overshadowed by Richter Belmont on many levels.
-
I still believe Julius is the most powerful, Juste the prettier and Simon the most kick ass because he killed Dracula twice and was a master with the whip and all that stuff...
Richter is good, but I think he will remain 2nd or 3rd in all my Belmont ranks, except favourite female Belmont, where he isn't ranked at all.

What if this area of the castle was really fragile because of the many years without Dracula around to fix it (you can see that this castle is ruined in entrance for example) and any Holy Cross could do that? I've thought about it everytime that someone mentioned something about this battle.
