^I can see where you're coming from with your Julius points but they kinda had to nerf him or else no one would use Alucard or Yoko. How is Alucard almost worse than his CV3 self? To each their own but I didn't think Julius mode was hard. Moreover, I thought the Soma fight was fun.

Completely agree.

There is a reason why they had to nerf him for reasons listed above.

And regarding Alucard, they very well could not have him being able to do most of his moves from SOTN, cause then he would beoverpowered and nobody would want to use Julius or Yoko.

So they limited him to very basic stuff such as the Alucard sword, Hellfire,Bat form and the super jump.

He is nowhere near as worse as CV3 Alucard if you ask me since all he was limited to was hellfire and bats.

Also another thing Alucard had going for him was the Diagonal sword slash and that came in handy for some of the smaller monsters.

Julius mode in AoS is the superior of the two for me. The character sprite in DoS looked rushed. He also had that terrible black outline that made it all the more cheap. They couldn't even take the time (which would have been no time at all) to put in a proper-looking Vampirekiller whip. They did it in PoR yet they did not in DoS' Julius mode. WTF!?! And also the strength of the Vampirekiller was greater in AoS. In DoS its strength doesn't keep up with the rest of the game, and by the time you get to the final areas Alucard's sword is actually stronger then the Vampirekiller. Again, WTF!?! Yeah AoS Julius mode get's my vote. But what is good about DoS' Julius mode is that there is a story behind it rather then just another unlockable mode.
