In the Bible, the number 7 is the number of completion.  Not that I have a clue what 7 they should pick, but it's a "holy" religious thing they could add somehow maybe...just sayin'.

It´s true. ´Nuff said, lets Sonia Belmont be part of the Greatest Seven ;D!!!

...And I don´t care if she is not canonical :P.

My guess for why Juste's in and not Christopher would probably be because at the time of PoR's release (3 years before Adventure ReBirth), I doubt many CV fans even knew who Christopher was at that point and hey, Juste was still pretty relevant at the time, so it makes sense that Igarashi would include him.
If there were to be a 7th member though, it'd probably have to be a Belmont (I think the in-game description mentions that it's the most powerful of the Belmont clan, not so much Castlevania heroes) who's canon according to the Igarashi timeline.

Let's see...err...we have Soleiyu and Desmond left.(Is Desmond even canon? I'm really not sure.)
Not exactly the most well-known of the clan.
I mean if we were to talk out of all the Belmonts, sure, Julius certainly counts as the 7th great member, but he's the last canonical Belmont, so that probably wouldn't work.

Do not forget Sonia, dood, even if her story is not canon. She is the first Belmont... Ok, I accept it, I like Legends :P...

It's a shame that 2-D Leon didn't lead to an LOI sequel.

Very nice compilation, Crisis.

Where did that Desmond portrait come from though?

For once an IGA game doesn't recycle a sprite and people are like "dood wtf bro u shud have recycled a sprite."

Not complaining at all, it's just weird as the chronicles redesign was kind of a huge change from what simon used to look like before, to see him back in a barbarian muscular look is kinda weird, isn't it?

Also no one's writing like a "hood bro" stereotype, so i don't really see the point of your post.

it is odd, considering that they went thru the trouble of creating a LEON BELMONT sprite but couldnt bother to update christophen's spirit. its not like they forgot he existed too, cuz in japanese version of harmony of mythology, the "bullet tip" soul is translated from "soul of christopher," an obvious homage to CVA & the fireball-whip gameplay

here is a compilation that i made a while back witch consists of all belmonts that ever existed in both 8-bit y 32-bit incarnations(some of the sprites were made by me, some are not mine, and i do not care); do with these what you will

GREATEST 15

Awesome! Though Quincy's hat had a wider rim in the movie and was of a different style.
