Title: The Super Castlevania IV Livestream Event!
Post by: Rugal on September 24, 2010, 05:24:38 AM
In order to get ready, and celebrate the release of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, I will be streaming a play through of Super Castlevania IV over Livestream! In this run, I will attempt to 1 life the game on hard mode. Super Castlevania IV is my all time favorite Castlevania game, and it is only right to play through it before this new game stands before us.

Join me, and tell all your friends! It'll be a night of laughs, chills, and flashbacks!

If you use Firefox, I highly recommend getting an add-on called Adblock Plus. It will disable all of those dumb adds that come up while you're watching stuff on livestream.

Today, Sunday October 3rd at 8 P.M. EST

Also please don't discuss anything Lords of Shadow spoiler related in the chat room.

I've tried this once before, and got shafted at that part with the disappearing blocks just before Frankenstein...  Pissed me off something awful...  I still hate that part.

I've been playing the Sega Saturn version of Symphony of the Night for a while now (I scored me a Sega Saturn at the end of the Summer :D), and now I'm playing Legacy of Darkness too.

You know.. That's the part I'm most afraid of. I did beat the game on Hard Mode before, but I lost a few lives I think in the Clock Tower because of some silly mistimed jumps. Also, one d-pad mess up when you're jumping on those stairs in Dracula's Tower = Bye bye Simon.

I've updated the first post with my channel info.

funny, I am also replaying SOTN with Richter and Alucard with the luck password (X-X!V''Q) and Castlevania 64, apparently there's a Castlevania fever going on about.

I've updated the first post with my channel info.
is there any way for us to taunt you should you ever die?

Yeah! There's a chat room there, and I can read it while I'm playing!

It's gonna mess up your gameplay!
Also, coooooool it auto-linked to this thread (for those who don't wanna chat I guess).

Very cool idea, I'll try to watch if I can. I have actually never played the game on hard before.

Maybe I'll take on Dracula with the Leather Whip, and no sub-weapons too.

I'm going to message you on the first level so you die.

I'll plan on being there. Sounds like a great way to kick off the release of Lords of Shadow. I only worry that CV4 will actually overshadow it as a better game though.

DEFINITELY watching, anything to get my mind off of LoS.

Looking forward to it!

I usually never experience any problems in Castlevania 4 until level 8. That's when the game suddenly becomes a little tricky if you don't know what you're doinf. Then I always die at least once on the collapsing staircase + spiky iron ball before Slogra & friends. You can't make a single mistake there :( And "mistake" is my middle name.
Anyway, it will be fun to watch a forum member play through the game.. I wanna see what you're made of :D

Stream is up right now. Just streaming some random CV music.

Watching it now...I see your desktop playing music and chatting

Good.. Good...

Dude the music keeps echoing, it's getting annoying. If you have another window open with the stream running or something you have to close it.

You guys are missing out. He just romped the dungeon like a true pro. I was on edge the entire time.

RUGAL HAS FAILED

1 LIFE RUN RUINED
Title: Re: The Super Castlevania IV Livestream Event!
Post by: uzo on October 03, 2010, 07:10:45 PM
So much for a no death run, but it was still hella cool regardless. He also killed Dracula with no sub weapon and using the leather whip.
Title: Re: The Super Castlevania IV Livestream Event!
Post by: Harrycombs on October 03, 2010, 07:11:25 PM
Beating Drac with only the leather whip on hard mode was pretty awesome.

Nicely done! That was fun to watch.
Title: Re: The Super Castlevania IV Livestream Event!
Post by: Rugal on October 03, 2010, 07:18:15 PM
Haha thanks for the compliments, but I am pretty disappointed at those dumb deaths I had. The two in the final stage before Dracula's Tower were just.. lol. I tried to grab the stairs as the bricks were falling. The fight against Dracula at the end was by far the best part though. I was sweating and everything. We both had 1 blip of health before the end too!

Anyway, someone requested Bloodlines next.. I'll do that some other time. I can't promise anything spectacular with that game though. Bloodlines is way harder than SCVIV.

How bout Belmont's Revenge? or symphony for the hell of it

Keep the stream going till the final hour before LoS is released!

I just beat OoE on hard mode a few days ago. It was pretty tough.

And another thing.. Which one of you punks was hitting on my girlfriend in the chat room?

It could be the imposter rugal that was on in the middle of the stream.

Acctually I think that Castlevania: Dracula X (SNES) is more difficult then Bloodlines. You might wanna hit that game next.
