Your favourite Belmont

[Anonymous No.7851868]

Simon Belmont is the best, beat Dracula twice. Ressurected him the second time while being cursed.Didnt get help like Trevor, no need for magic like Juste, No fancy martial arts like Richters. Only his skill, will and the whip. His SCV4 look is the best. Others are either too generic or feminine.

I both like Simon the most and think he is the best. Imagine just grabbing your wip and deciding to single handedly defeat Dracula and his entire castle of minions one night for the lolz. No other vampire slayer can even come close. Simon moonwalked in there with his crop top and just obliterates dracula alone with no special tricks, just his whip and his faith in God

[Anonymous No.7852694]

How many "remakes" did the original Castlevania get? Simon Belmont is cursed to live in a time loop, where victory against Dracula is undone and he gets sent back to do it again, in a slightly different way. Think of a Sisyphus job!

[Anonymous No.7852701]

>>7852694
I think there's only like two canonical Simon stories. 1. He kills Dracula. 2. He gathers Dracula's body and burns it to kill him.

So every other Simon game that's not CV1 or CV2 is just a retelling of what happened in CV1.

The movements with the whip are great. When I was a kid, I imagined the Conan (the original movie) scene in which he practices in the beach and moved the whip accordingly. It was this scene:

I'd hardly put LoS Simon all that high up in the first place, never mind best, I mean the guy is impatient as fuck, doesn't finish the job at times, literally walks right into a trap twice, and even gets knocked out and brainwashed by Gabeula. However, a lot of that is pretty understandable considering he got orphaned and was bullied for it or something. His biggest failure is being a decoy protagonist to his own father and not really getting his story properly wrapped up. Poor sod probably doesn't even realize he met his mom and dad again after all those years.
>>7853385
Simon's probably my favorite Belmont as well, but I'm pretty sure literally everyone can block projectiles. Martial arts are something to respect, too, Richter can basically fucking fly with whip dashes and uppercuts.

Simon is my favorite too. He represents all the best qualities of the Belmonts, has tremendous perseverance, and may have even defeated Dracula three times -- the best ending stinger of CV 2 never leads into a new game, Dracula is still vanquished and has to be revived for the next Castlevania game, so Simon must have annihilated Dracula so quickly and thoroughly that it didn't even result in a game.

IIRC, Curse of the Moon is an alternate timeline where the Belmonts just don't seem to exist.

Because Richter flawlessly rested Dracula all in one night on the very night Dracula came back giving him next to no time to get settled in. He did his job too good and wanted that rematch so bad that he let he part ways let himself listen to Shaft and was literally there to spawn camp him in Symphony of the night. Ricther is a whole nother level of mad lad

Vampire Killer - remake, same enemies and basically level layouts, just different key-based progression.

Does it though? A lot can happen in a century. I know IGA said some stuff on social media one time but he wasn't part of Konami at that point anymore. Last I checked, the latest timeline Konami put out included both and as copyright holder they get the final say. Sorry IGA.

The timeline in their website (if you enter with a JP IP now, it now redirrects you to the US site otherwise and I hate this) still had CotM out of the timeline completely.

But I think it's better that way, the main Castlevania timeline is cluttered, if they ever returned to CotM it could work as a blank slate with some groundwork prepared to work off (namely the card mecanic).

Judgment was him flip flopping because IGA liked the character of Cornell. It was when he regretted making the timeline because it began to box him in how much limited space he has before 1999.

I honestly believe that's why Curse of the Moon, Ritual of the Night and Curse of the Moon 2 are not connected.

>>7859415
>why in the fuck would you make CV into a fucking fighting game in the first place?
Unironicly because Konami refused to give IGA a budget to work with. In all his interviews about the fact, especially after he left Konami, he mentioned over and over how he came to resent that in the company he became the "guy who makes games under-budgeted and under crunch", and he brings up the PS2 games as an example that he hates the samey environments and flat "stages" because they didn't had the budget or time to work the games properly, and how Judgment was originally envisioned as a proper 3D game (hence why it runs on the LoI engine) but the budget they gave him was only good enough to make it into an arena fighter because Konami instead decided to pour all resources into MercurySteam and Hideo Kojima.

although I agree with this, don't give Smash Bros too much Credit. Melee, Brawn and Ultimate claim that ReDeads are "clay monsters in the shape of man" despite what the official Zelda games says (i.e. they're truly undead people, with the dancing ReDead in Ikana being a troupé that got caught in middle of the Ikana-Garo conflict) and claiming in Brawl that Kaptain K. Rool is King K. Rool's brother.

Undoubtedly done to get around CERO idiocy but in the end influenced how they were presented in Tri Force Heroes so meh, weird but a retcon.
>and claiming in Brawl that Kaptain K. Rool is King K. Rool's brother.
This is the only Smash mistake I'm aware of that's ACTUALLY a genuine mistake and not a translation error, and it can be explained as either: A) a poorly-conveyed "oh golly gee who is Mr. L and why does he look like Luigi"-style joke, or B) the writer confused Kaptain K. Rool with another character, likely Skurvy from the CG-i show that surprisingly had respectable popularity in Japan.

Was Richter more or less Dark Lord for a time, or was it really just brainwashing? Like is there anything in the original Jap going one way or the other. The English one has Richter dropping a line about what HE had done rather than Shaft, but it doesn't count for much, does it?

Honestly, a Belmont going out of his way to immediately prolong an eternal war between good and evil to btfo the human villagers who never learn because of an argument he had with Dracula is a lot cooler than being brainwashed by a punkass necromancer who he already killed deader than dead before.

Richter never willingly turns evil, but I believe the SOTN retranslation and Grimoire of Souls both suggest that Shaft was able to exploit a part of Richter's personality that didn't want to fade into history after killing Dracula.

So it's "just brainwashing", but it's also probable that Richter really did wonder "what use for a shepard when the wolves have all gone", if only on a subconscious level.
