“No bug tester in their right mind would find that out” You’re right IGA That’s why we’re all fucking insane

Best stream comment: "MisterMonopoli: "Serial game cheater forces creator to break his own game while thousands of people watch live""

IGA:"Years of my life...all my hard work...gone through in forty minutes..."

I actually figured out a glitch in Castlevania (on my own) which allowed me access to the 2nd castle. I was playing the Japanese SOTN and didn't know that I had to wear the rings and get the holy glasses from Maria. So when I killed Richter I used a library card right after I killed him. This didn't end the game, but teleported me to the library. When I returned, he was gone and I could teleport to the 2nd castle. Loved this video.

the original backhop

WOW!!! This is amazing!!! This is like a must-see for any Castlevania fans. This needs way more views! Romscout is going places. LOL!

Start at 2:35

That was very cool! Loved the interview with Igarashi himself, I found his insight very amusing. As a game developer myself working on a Metroidvania game somewhat inspired from SOTN, I actually get excited when I see people find glitches and hope people will be able to break my game (just not quite as much as SOTN). I hope he understands that a lot of art is created by accident, and SOTN is a great example of that. I also found IGA's face very amusing when he was told that Romscout would love to play his next game and break it, he looked super nervous.

Man, I'm jealous. You got to sit next to legend. Edit: I kinda wish we got to see Iga react to all the glitches though.

Yay for Romscout, one of my favorite speedrunners and a person who has helped so much with Games Done Quick. Also, yay for Iga! Creator of, at least, 7 of my favorite ever games.

its such a huge honor sitting next to a god

1:48 at this moment IGA was losing his shit...

why didn't they use seperate cameras which shows igarashi's expression?? Ruins the run for me:(

Can't wait to see you speedrunning his new game! Great video :D

thank you! It was nice to see what a nice person iga is and how he appreciates the speedrunning of his game. thank you romscout!

This is so awesome. A speedrun/bug showcase with one of the game's main creators. :)

Very cool video! IGA was a good sport about it.

This was awesome, I've been subscribed to your channel for years, SOTN is my favorite game ever, I couldn't even dream of being as good in the game as you are but I'm cool with that, I'm glad there's people out there that appreciate this game as much as I do.

This was the sickest. The run was really well done and having Iga there to laugh at and break his own game is amazing. 10/10 Romscout you the man.

Thank you so much for this. This was amazing. Loved his thoughts on the game.

fantastic video! Had a great time watching it

Happy for you, getting to meet someone you probably have looked up to for a long time :) - Just a random guy passing by your vids

I laughed a lot in this video. One of my favorite games of all time!

Without a doubt the most awesome thing I second hand witnessed in years!! ur the shit romscout and if it wasn't for you I wouldn't even know how to speed run my favorite game of all time,(symphony of the night) and now I know if they would have bugged checked meticulously we wouldn't of had so much fun over these years, pacifist run is a great example! I miss ur videos breaking down ur WR run I've been having to improvise my runs after the 2nd castle lol

All i can say is thank you very much for making one hell of a great game

i hope IGA understood that he didn't intend to make him look bad by breaking the game.

I wonder how many crazy tricks/exploits people will find in Bloodstained after it's finally released.

HOLY SHIT! That's Tom Happ in the background, creator of Axiom Verge! Super stoked to see him here, definitely fits considering SOTN is one of the greatest Metroidvanias of all time.

Wow man, awesome. Must have been great meeting IGA.

YAY NEW SOTN RUN!!!

Now that he's seen this, he knows what NOT to do with bloodstained...

I saw your steam account on Ori and the blind forest prior to your screen time. Rom's secret warm up strats are revealed!

This looked pretty awkward, but IGA is still based for doing this.

simply amazing

Iga is the Assistant director to SotN. He directed the second half of the game and contributed many things to the first half. Supposedly the RPG and exploration elements were his idea. Toru Hagihara is the other director, who directed the first half. No explanation has ever been given why it's a split directing job or if this was intented. Hagihara never directed another game again.

Amazing video, never thought this would actually happen. Cant help but to feel sorry for Iga though, I hope he doesnt take this too seriously.

young master i cannot aid one who opposes the master

How do you make ths bat form and wolf form move so fast?

I would have the same comment as Koji-san did, I have no idea what was going on. Koji-san is a very nice person I can see. So a good game is like people can have their own way to play it, or even create it. Good luck to everyone.

This is amazing to watch. Igarashi: "Killer elevator" :D

I cannot believe somebody else made Joseph's cloak green and pink and called it the watermelon cloak.

Hey Romscout, I can't get the Heart Refresh teleport to work to get to save room. I get the Heart refresh but then my Bat just gets stuck in the upper wall of the clock corridor. What am I doing wrong ? Thanks !

Legendary!

Koji Igarashi was wrong when he said that we did not need Maria Renard or the Sega Saturn exclusives to that version of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and had I saw that request from fans of the series, then not only would I have included that in subsequent re-releases of the game, but that I also would have added even more monsters and bosses, most notably from the GBA/NDS Castlevania games, and maybe even some PS2 and N64 monsters and areas from those Castlevania games as well.

11:12 Or as I'd like to call it "The Wargapult", haha.

you only did the first half?

Still love this vid.

not skipping - i still enjoyed the music for 2 min :))

Wow this is so awesome! I wish you could have shown him ACE though. (Arbitrary code execution)

that's such a cool way to play the game too, the back dashing method. Romscout, you back the new kickstarter project?

15:35 I kept waiting for someone to read donations.

as much of a pain in the ass this game can be, it will always be one of my faves.

wow, such a sweet run. Also never seen this done 21:01 +Sub'd+

You should have restarted after showing the back dash trick. You were still doing the speedrun.

Rom did you talk to him about what makes Castlevania good? The freedom of movement, the quickness to it, the cancels? Convince him to never remove that.

Wait, did you participate in the Bloodstained stream last night? Because I haven't watched it completely, but I backed the Kickstarter action over PayPal. That's nice, I know how much of a fan you are from the ''real'' Castlevania games (not crap like LoS), so it must have been quite an experience for you playing SotN while having Igarashi himself sit right next to you. Nice job, pal. :)

15:53 you can also use the clock subweapon to make it open. I learned that the other day

26:43 best quote ever.

Mr.Happ is in the audience!!

this is the best game of all time

Seriously surreal. Were you starstruck?

6:03 isn't that the guy (the one explaining to IGA) who said in the Mighty No. 9 livestream "it's better than nothing, at least that's my opinion" ?

Symphony is on xbox? What?

That game are awesome even with all that bug

Holy shit! Ben Judd sighting.

I love Iga lmao

2:36 start since nobody else seems to have said this.

The one and only I hope they release a ps5 version of bloodstained cus the load screens are crazy wen u move fast

didn't know Dave Franco is a speedrunnner cool

Psone or saturn version PLEASE ???

Romscout seems like a really laid back nerd lol. I see so many nerds on these runs whoact so insecure and get super defensive when they are wrong.

I wonder what Robert Belgrade would think of these glitches?

Richter: "WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT?!"

LOL the Japanese version of the intro isn't Shakespeare. It's cheesey in its own way.

How was this done. Why would Koji meet with a speedrunner for an official sort of thing like this?

make Castlevania Great Again remake SoTN remaster

I am going to get awesome at this game so i can hang out with iga

40:16 in the background LUL

IGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Iga thinking "he broke my game" :'V

>not playing the psp psone download on a 14" bvm crt with rgb connectors heh

IGA, please make SNOT vol.2!!!!!!!!!! I will buy it!

This game is so expensive.... Around $50 from what I can find.

Koji has to be a little bit pissed off though, watching some kids break the game he programmed right in front of his eyes, and then they continue to make him break it aswell :P Ah well, just a strange situation. Luckily at the end he said they weren't gonna go back and fix it now and that he's fine with it. Great video and run though! Very funny and entertaining :D Keep up the great runs!

I am jealous beyond words. Did he ever talk to you much? He doesn't seem to say much in this video.

On your phone on a live stream event? gg

You seriously played the 360 version of his game instead of... HIS game on PS1? Right in front of the man, in person? Wow. Please tell me you had an exceedingly good reason for this.

.20

The glitch they show at 9:00 is completely useless. I've gotten past Death and kept all of Alucard's gear by simply using the dash-jump-kick attack to enter the room and shoot across the screen so that you don't walk in and never trigger the event where Death takes your gear. However if you ever enter the room again later on the event will trigger. I don't remember if death then takes whatever you have equipped, or if he just takes the Akucard gear. However as it's been years since I played the Playstation version, my memory isn't quite sharp on the matter.

I'm kind of annoyed the translator guy only translates sporadically, and not continuously. The poor dev should have someone there constantly translating. I also wish there was picture in picture so we could see his reactions.

hhhhhhhhhhhumans kkkkkkkk

Ben the "translator" is such a goon it's painful to watch. His Japanese isn't THAT good (interpreting requires higher skill than written translation). It's obviously accidental/a bad attempt at being 'funny' but by basic Japanese cultural standards, he's being rude as hell to IGA and it's cringe TBH, if he wasn't white he'd never get away with the messy way he's talking. Then he's adding swears and things IGA didn't even say to his 'interpreting'... he never said anything about 'cheating for instance, or that the game was 'buggy'. and another part that bugs me? (I believe, if it was the other guy I'll take this one back) He had the nerve to say "I only played the Japanese version" but he's using the NA names for items (crissaegrim, etc) when in Japanese they're completely different! I'm going for 100% on the JP version right now, so I'm particularly attuned to this. Plus, he didn't understand how the shield rod worked so he didn't really ask the question romscout asked, getting the 'the bug checkers probably didn't use it' answer. Plus, he keeps saying 'Rikuta' when Richter's name in Japanese is "RiHIta-" This is standard with German "ch" sounds, another example would be Otacon's JP last name being EmereHI, which shows this dude doesn't really understand how Japanese transliteration works, or at least doesn't bother thinking about it when he's talking to the man who WROTE THE FUCKING GAME IN JAPANESE. I wish they had gotten someone better, or at least put IGA closer to a mic so I could hear his answers better, since the ones I did catch were different enough that it was frustrating to watch this. When Romscout was offering to teach a trick to IGA, Mr. Doughy's limits really started showing, when he just couldn't explain (he sounded like a moron in Japanese there, poor IGA). Then he had the nerve to write his own fanfic of what they were saying after that, like he's all clever. Cringe, cringe, cringe! Romscout, you did a great job though, and it's really cool you got to do this.

I grew up with the English voices and now I find it really cringey and cheesy. I was blown away when I played the Japanese version and learned that Norio freaking Wakamoto voiced Dracula. Amazing voice acting.

Alucard, i love you. Quit humans if they don't respect you or your family and make me love again. ❤

Man, why the best japanese devs can't speak english? I´m spanish and ignorant as hell, but man...Its just so strangely common. Iga, Kojima, Mikami, Miyazaki...I don't mind odd accents, is just more fun to listen it from themselves....Still, amazing vid, what an honor and he seems pretty nice guy. I didnt know it was so glitchy either!

does he really say IGA-sama!!!???!? WTF

"three different timing mechanisms" "doesn't like negative coordinates" "continues to gain vertical momentum" "the wolf disjoints its hitbox when it untransforms, is that how it works? ..Oh when it changes shape. okay." Really... annoying dude.

This is my favorite game ever. And you put a two minute, thirty six second intro in front of it. Then you introduced yourself. 🙄

you must be a real nerd to spend time finding tricks like that and 95% of the gamers never play the game like that back in then during ps1 era
