This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/2661M
TAS originally published on 2014-08-10
Not only was Castlevania: Symphony of the Night the first installment of the Castlevania series on PSX but also the first PSX game to have a published run ( tasvideos.org/1246M ) here.
Not satisfied with just going on a death spree to Dracula, Alucard decides to steal every single one of his father's heirlooms, while also killing his prized collection of monsters. Luckily he has the handy ability of phasing through walls whenever he needs to.
A run that beats the game through save data corruption is available here ( tasvideos.org/2547M ), along with one that avoids ( tasvideos.org/2541M ) data corruption. If you prefer the main character to have muscular bare arms and to pray to the rain gods to defeat bosses, you may enjoy the Richter ( tasvideos.org/2584M ) version. If you want to see a run on Replay mode that can skip many cutscenes, see this run ( tasvideos.org/2666M ). We also have a run of the Saturn version using Maria ( tasvideos.org/3982M ). We even have a run where Alucard avoids killing everything ( tasvideos.org/2657M ) except Dracula.
Due to the lengthy amount of time needed to obtain the best ending in the previous run, this run was deemed significantly more entertaining, and thus obsoletes it.
--------
Note: Due to an emulation error, the audio in the ending FMV sequence doesn't play.

Author's commentary during the run's video can be watched on KZfaq ( • SotN All Bosses and Re... )

in this TAS, even Alucard himself is confused, uttering a surprised "WHAT?" occasionally lol

"A new species of cockroach that moves backward," "A living jigsaw," "A freak that falls sideways and upward." Alucard is sure a man of thousand names.

@gregoryderpwrld111 7 ай бұрын

From a technical standpoint I don’t think you could do it without heavily modifying that room, and even then you’d have to flip the sprites for what happens From a “what if they programmed it in?” standpoint, anything could happen I guess. Maybe they’d heal you instead of stabbing (I don’t know everything about SotN, I don’t know why they stab me when I play)

Did moose somehow skip the scene where death takes your stuff

@zoneoftruth 2 жыл бұрын

yes. i'm pretty sure that as long as you don't touch the ground in that room, the cutscene never triggers, so by being sent flying through the room by an enemy in the room before it, alucard enters the next loading zone without touching the ground, skipping the cutscene and keeping his original gear.

@grunkleg.3110 2 жыл бұрын

There are other ways to trigger that effect. One I've seen speedrunners do is use the Neutron Bomb or whatever you can start the game with to trigger a level up at just the right positioning so that as soon as you enter that room, the game automatically forces you to the next room. You see the TAS do something similar at 3:15 or so. I don't quite get how it works.

@Aintworthyourtime 2 жыл бұрын

They way I have gone about accomplishing this was to use the max luck cheat and then you take a hit and fly through the room. You do keep the Alucard gear for skipping the cutscene.

@ggarzagarcia 2 жыл бұрын

Death Skip, as it’s called. There’s a few ways. One is via Big Toss, where Alucard receives a high enough damage (based on your weak defense) that tosses you at a high velocity. The Big Toss’ velocity is fast enough to where you go to the room where Death triggers, but control of Alucard cannot be used because he was still in a “tossed state”. The bonk on the ceiling stops the velocity, but Alucard safely makes it into the next room. Another way is called Reverse Shift Line: by doing a big animation at the right pixel (ex. Heart Refresh, Neutron Bomb, or Level Up), you can alter the X or Y coordinantes of Alucard to where he can skip an entire block/room of the map. In this case, the nearest room to his right was where Death takes your stuff. This is very technical information, but the person who would know far more than anyone would be DragonBlitz on Twitch, multiple WR holder of SotN in various categories (minus data corruption, which is a dumb category). Check him out!

If I'm not late: While in bat form, hold jump to stop in air, then press up, left (or right), down, right (or left), and then release jump, that's how you do it You need to repeat this pattern just in air, if you want to save speed
