It's "If the Boot Fits" reasoning. It worked for centuries, it can work here too.

Id advise you go back to playing Trauma Center and pretending to be a doctor. Fighting games are out of your league.

Now Im curious where Mobius is. Shouldnt he be sticking up for tranny rights?

Even when the avatar looks suspiciously like Denise Richards?

Oh, and for my two pence on the original topic: Dracula is not pathetic, he must get defeated constantly in order for the player to actually complete the game and have a sense of achievement. How would you feel if he teleported away every time you got that final hit from 1986 'til now?

And lastly, anyone saying Sephiroth is pathetic needs to try and wield a Nodachi with one hand!

Ho! If that had been Drac's final move in the last twenty-plus years, I would've chucked my controller against a wall and given up on the series long ago. T'would not be the first time I shouted "COWARD!" to the screen either. All simply because in my mind, this last-second cop-out move would seem less a means of keeping the series going and more like some empty gimmick to leave all of us waiting for some big, dynamic showdown someday. - Which Igarashi-sama would probably be too unsure of at this point to deliver.

At any rate, yes it goes to show that Dracula really isn't as poor a villain as some give him credit for. At the very least, he fights to the finish. With the only exception really being his first confrontation with Christopher.

*looks around*

By the by, it took this long for someone to censor me? Man, I'm impressed. I've done s*** on this site that would have made pedophile priests puke and call me a blasphemer. Wow, somebody finally raised the red flag on the redhead. Tee-hee! I's flattered.

You all seem to be missing my point.  I realize that both Dracula and Sephiroth are powerful enemies, but when I say that they are pathetic, I mean psychologically.  Which I have explained in the first post.  It's fine if you disagree with me, but I'm asking you to look at the facts I've presented and see if you could get where I'm coming from.  You all are welcome to your opinions, but I thought this would be an excellent topic to discuss.  Maybe I should have posted this in the hardcore gaming area instead of the area for General Castlevania Dicussion.

I see your point as well. We just seem to differ on how we view it. What would indeed look to you like psychological weakness, I look at simply as more of a single-minded resolve. The kind brought upon by rage so unfathomable that it could make a man give up his own soul and turn to an evil that consumed, transformed, and ultimately became him. Yes, I realize it would take a stronger mind and greater will to overcome such fury, so Drac and Sephie are effective failures in the whole Resisting The Dark Side department. In my estimation though, some of the most powerful villains -- and sometimes a few heroes -- have to fall in order to rise up as something truly great.

And... I can't believe that I am defending both Dracula and Sephiroth, of all silvery-haired lunatics, here in the same post... But personally -- personally, mind you -- until I (A) am so driven by pain and angst that I renounce god and everything holy to give myself fully over to darkness, effectively becoming the being opposite to god, or(B) find out that I am in fact the result of some morbidly perverse science experiment to perfect the ultimate warrior, I think I'm going to reserve judgment on how pathetically weak-minded others are.

....Hell, if we were to use me (my namesake, that is) in the context of this topic... It could be said that I myself am the more pathetic example of badness here.

- Let's see here, I am a two-thousand-plus year-old demon that was molded into female form by the underworld hierarchy with the express purpose of tempting and seducing the man known as the christ on earth. But I failed, was sentenced to be obliterated from existence, and picked up by a former high-ranking demon official now in league with the opposing dominion. Y'all would know him as Sulaco, yes? Well, he took me in and guided the only instincts I had been created with towards a more personally fulfilling outlet; killing, seducing, betraying and destroying for me and no one else. See, in a way I enjoyed what I do seeing as how pleasure was one of the things I had been made for. But all that I am, all that I do, is in the end just the result of how I was designed. Not one of my actions are made from choice. I have no choices; no free will. I do what I do because that's what I was made for. Heh, let's see Dracula or some long-haired momma's boy top that for pathetic.

I quote myself.
Dracula never did something so important to be THE LORD OF DARKNESS.
He's just a weak vampire who make walachians life a little funnier each 100 years.

What did you say, exactly? I probably shouldn't ask that I must admit my curiosity has gotten the better of me.

I wasn't saying she had to repost it, she more then likely could've gotten away with a brief and heavily 'censored' summary, or even a PM of the posts contents.

Either way, as a Dracula related topic I must say this is failing quite horribly, not that I'm helping matters at all. Pages upon pages on Simon's pink hair and tranny boots/boa?
