From henceforth, we are brethren.

Sorry, but I just read that and pictured Sir Didymus from Labyrinth.   ;D

So wait a minute... I've been reading some stuff online...
How come nobody mentioned it was Tyrone Rodriguez who first linked swordorwhip.com?
Is is not obvious that the developer will be Nicalis and it will probably be 2D?

The only reasons SOTN isnt my favorite game of all time is because of Edmund Mcmillens Binding of Isaac.
One of the guys there made Castle in the Darkness and Tyrone worked on Castlevania Order of Shadows....

If this is the case.... I will be VERY happy.

Before this rolls into an impossibly big snowball: It was I who linked him there, and he linked it later. He has nothing to do with this, AFAIK

Niche Gamer sent out an update that 8-4 is not working on this. The plot thickens!

Also, representing Clan Iron Flail. Though my other machines are Cat o' Nine and Bull Whip (thanks cookies!).

Wow I honestly didn't know that 99% of the board preferred whips over sword combat.

Whether that means you prefer classvania or metroidvania I don't know, but I'm seeing almost everyone who comments say they are voting for whip.

Make me feel like the minority for voting for sword lol.

That being said I do like Whip combat a lot, I feel it was done best with SCIV with the directional whipping mechanic.

But over all I just prefer the metroidvania over classvania as well as swords over whips.

I personally like the whip for a couple reasons:

-It's novel. Swords have been done to death by now. Even though whip-like weapons have also been done a lot, swords still are the "go to" weapon when you imagine the character.

-Like you mentioned, whip allows for a myriad of different, cool things both combat and platform-related.

-It's the symbol for Castlevania. Even if the game has nothing to do with Castlevania, we all know what is the intent behind it

edit:
looks like a new batch of quotes just became available:


"A new, vital heart, pulsing with the old blood."
-
"You will remain standing when the dust settles, or you will be the dust."
-
"The world falls down around us. It’s up to us few to build atop the rubble."
-
"Some moments are more powerful than others. Use that power as you would a lever."

I'm confused by the "when I trust you with them" part...

yeah thats for sure, tho i think this may hint that we're not actually choosing if the hero's gonna wield a whip or a sword after all

Not to mention that even during the NES era, sword as a weapon is quite too common in action or rpg games like Zelda, Castle of Dragon, Trojan, Maze of Galious, Getsufuu Maden, Sword Master, Rastan Saga, Ninja Gaiden, Frankenstein, Faxanadu, etc.
