Topic: DXChronicles question: about Maria

[PVG]

I heard a disturbing word about DXC having child Maria in its SotN port, is this true? I have the game, but won't be bothering with this, if Maria isn't the Saturn one. What about the playable Richter; Saturn or PSX vers. one?

In DXC's SotN, she plays more like chibi Maria, but is indeed adult Maria. She can now switch between two sets of subs, and she still has a rolling attack and slide. The triple jump was removed and she now can float vertically up by holding onto an owl.

But yeah her main weapon is the doves she (trained?) in her youth.

Her mode is quite a bit harder than Saturn's, but that's why I like it more. Maria was over-powered in NitM.

Richter's controls are as tight as they were in psx as opposed to his sluggish slow controls from saturn. because dxc sotn is a port of the first japanese psx version of the game with maria added as player/boss, new voice acting and few minor changes.

the game's full of bugs though, since it's the first generation psx version, before all the bugfixed "best" rereleases.

that's what i heard at least. i have no psp.

I did not notice any bugs, personally.

[Profbeanburrito]

I didn't either, and if there are that many they can't be anything major

i hear in richter/maria mode you can jump into a wall during the shaft battle to go to dracula. dunno if you need to do the camera trick first or not.

then if you enter a cutscene with the nose devil or green fairy activated the game will crash.

maria's dashes can put you under a floor or inside a wall, especially on slopes.

and so on.

I never noticed those bugs/glitches either. o_O Oh well.

There are bugs at the game and i have posted two pictures, of one glitch with Maria. When you are the inverted castle's clock where is shaft, if you make a special move that makes maria go fast(i don't remember what is that move) and you fall into the center where is the gap that leads to the room with the subweapons, the screen of the game turns white and if you attempt to go back to the clock, the game freezes!!

I've also heard of that glitch, just not too sure of the details.

I lost them when my computer crashed.But they exist somewhere on a thread inside this forum. I'm just to lazy to search for that thread. Maybe i'll try and find it.


   OK!! After some thorough search at the older threads, i found them. They are here:

Wow, we REALLY understand that.  :

Lol. Just kidding. I'm really friendly. No.. It's just that all I see is a white screen.. Are there no pre-white screen pictures?

I have only taken these two pictures, but at the first picture, you can see Maria at the room with the subweapons!!

I do, but it doesn't help me in the execution of this glitch.

then if you enter a cutscene with the nose devil or green fairy activated the game will crash.

never had the issue myself, as i didn't bother having those familiars out, but that would be the succubus/nightmare sequence. helps that there's a save point 2 screens away if it does happen to anyone though.
