Oh yeah, I got my Boned achievement legit during a almost-botched Chapter 6 Hard run. Thanks for teaching me how to dodge Demonic Megiddo, specs!
Game glitched on one run (Drac vanished completely), and it was being really shitty (Dracula not triggering for 30 secs to a min after I had already been in the room) which is why I bailed.
I don’t think I would have gotten boned legit yet, but we forced the issue a while back. Still can’t dodge triangles consistently when online.
Dracula doing triangles off-centered while you’re in the corner still gets me killed. It’s pretty much impossible to dodge them when they are still about half of your character’s size when they reach you.
I had Drac freeze after his second form for about 20-30 seconds and then the chest dropped, didn’t have to fight his third form. I don’t know if it was everybody or just me lagging behind and they killed him or if it was for everybody.
Got my Simon’s Plate, half of the subweapons are maxed, the rest are close.
I’m glad I managed to get a Claim Solais before I go back to school. Though I am disappointed that the dlc won’t come out before I’m leaving because I won’t bring my system to college.
Dracula’s triangle in multiplayer seems random as hell as first, especially if everyone is to one side, but he tries to give a triangle to each member basically. So I just spread out to the side with less people and try to see where its going at first because if people hop to early its gonna go up and mess with everyone’s timing.
Honestly sometimes though I just equip ancient armor with randoms. Some of them act too erratic and screw everyone over.
No worries. If using Winged Boots, replace the backdashes with simple walking. 
Finally got a Lapiste and a Pneuma. The spreadsheet seems right: they’re NORMAL drops, not Hard, from the chapter 3-6 bosses. Got Lapiste from Death and Pneuma from Drac.
Also been practicing my crouch canceling. My method: I do a “fireball” with LB (QCF+LB), tapping LB as I do the QCF (instead of as I finish it). So for Shanoa, X > Y > QCF+LB > repeat.
Slight drawback to this method: using weapons with QCF moves (many of Soma/Alucard’s) triggers those moves, wasting MP if used improperly.
Dr. B can cancel kamehamehas into a new DBZ where Yamcha isn’t a chump.
**Alright, i’m not sure if anyone’s found this yet but I haven’t seen anyone use it so I thought i’d share it.
I found this out a few days ago with Shanoa, you can combine Pneuma.
Made a vid of it.

Yeah dude, using both weapons also remove the backdash repeat limitation.
For instance, when doing X > Backdash > X, another backdash will not be allowed. Doing X > Y > Backdash > X > Y > Backdash, you can repeat it forever and VERY quickly. You can send out 5 or 6 combined pnuema shots in a second, all in range.
Well guys after 50 kills exactly I finally got my first Valmanway. Now time to try for Winged Boots.
Dude that is day one shit, the reason you dont see vids of it is because everyone knows about it…
Yeah, that reminds me of that video someone made of them ‘discovering’ how to do Stinger in Devil May Cry 4.
Oh, Youtube.
On the other hand here’s a trick for you.
With Jonathan if you do a sonic strike near an edge you will be launched forward at a very high speed giving you the ability to cross distances you would otherwise not be able to.
A good place to try it is the merman pit in the first stage.
Do a sonic strike near the edge to get sent flying and after that you can still use double jump to get ever further.
Another trick that i have only tried with Shanoa but am unsure if it works for other characters is that you can air slide onto ledges.
God place to use this is the hidden room ontop of the stairs before dracula.
Double jump as far up as you can and then diagonally airslide and if done correctly you should get ontop of the ledge.
Someone find the Castlevanian thread. It’s time to get hype for Lords of Shadow (pleasedon’tsuckpleasdon’tsuckpleasedon’tsuck)!
**I’m streaming XBL all night of Castlevania if you guys wanna watch or participate in some runs.
Edit Technical difficulties at midnight lol so no more stream tonight, we’re still playing though. Dracula Hard runs and Chapter 5 Hard runs.**
It sounds like baller shit, if IGN’s hand-on for 8 hours is to be believed.
It says they swagger jacked GoW HARD, but I pretty much expected that.
Played this at a friend’s today, and from what I’ve gathered online, Soma is some kind of demon lawnmower. I need to buy this game asap and show people what’s what with Johnathan.

I maxed my Jonathan, I decided to forget about school for a day and just get it finished.
Naked my attack is 65. With Simon’s equipment, Assassin’s Cape and two Megingiords it is 92 attack, 61 defense.
Just played with a Soma that was doing a decent amount more than me with Death’s Scythe, but whatever it is still fun to uppercut people.
Still don’t have winged boots though…
Yeah I been trying to get some Winged Boots myself. Those and Ancient Armor are about it and I am done.
**Welp, i’m rank 7 on the leaderboards.
Aiming to get 1st.**
Props my juri titty loving friend.
I hope that all the Summer of Arcade games don’t release their DLC at the same time. I don’t think that Limbo has that option but the other four do.
