Johnny vs. Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 

PUPPY ROBOT!!!

I’m pretty sure it’s a reference to a baby in a mech from one of Konami’s arcade games. It was a beat em up I don’t remember the name

I hope he becomes canon in the ritual canon to

@@auralunaprettycure captain commando from capcom

;)

Hehe boi

The only thing I can think of is maybe she lands differently? In Super Mario 2, I would definitely describe Luigi as squishier than Mario. Or maybe her bounce back after getting hit has more give? She’s squishier so doesn’t bounce back as much?

lh9591 “squishier” here as Johnny used it means frailer - less defense or health

Robert being long ranged with a wall jump gave me vibes of what I imagine an 8 bit X could be like. Hachi's punch animation makes me think of an 8 bit ride armor too.

Shouldn’t be surprising, Inti Creates did make the Zero games after all.

@1:26, maybe the Zangetsu future ending segways into Gunvolt 3.

Definitely some triple rod vibez

@@Raiden3651 It probably opens up the possibility of Zangetsu being in the third Mighty Gunvolt instead.

I also think the new intro and avatar are lacking in comparison to the last few.

@@highvoltage7797 yea I like the new one but I vastly perfer the previous one

I NEVER NOTICED THAT

Ruined forever now, thanks

Johnnys old logo and old intro are better than the ones he has now.

_Always learn from the best..._ *Looks to the Moon, as Moon theme starts to play*

Don’t forget Cranky Kong.

no no hes right. old. your old. im old

Being truly cultured means being familiar with Scrooge McDuck not from DuckTales, but his original comics.

Push Butt

I don't get it.

@@jennySeidel7494 Neither do I, but then I haven't beaten Ritual of the Night yet. Probably should get on that.

@@JoshtheOverlander she big evil

I like Johnny using a Simpson's clip for the reaction! 😂

I know I did

Yes! Hopefully, if a future Bloodstained is made that way, it could be more akin to Super Castlevania 4 and Rondo of Blood. Hey, I can dream, can’t I?

Nah, It's gotta be for the 4th. (Cause Super Castlevania)

Indeed

And the fourth should be a remake of the first and be called Super Curse of the Moon IV

@@jdude9365 To be honest, I really like the graphics on Rondo / Dracula X. IV's sprites are too big for my taste

Same

So early my phone says the video was uploaded 3 hours ago and you comment was made 4 hours ago

I mean... not as fast as me, since... you know, I’m... the fastest in the universe...

Yeah definitely paper Mario was the highlight

yeah man that digimon game was really something lmao

Bakugan tho

Same

oh dang it was bakugan I forgot lol

Sadly, we might be waiting awhile for that game.

*One Eternity Later...*

Pro-tip, give CV3 another shot, but play the Japanese version. It's MUCH better

It did. Order of Ecclesia

Castlevania 3 is awesome.

Too bad that hover move just doesn't work properly. I don't know if its fixed after all this time. If it worked like in Rayman 2 I wouldn't mind. Double tapping X works wonders.

yeah, but which partner(s) get left behind, canonically? has it been said?

@@yourehereforthatarentyou AFAIK it's an amalgamation: Zangetsu recruited everyone but Gremory didn't try to posses him.

Agreed on the difficulty part. I already miss Alfred’s flame shield spell

People probably complained that the first one was too easy...

Due to cheap design. The first one was hard but fair, this one feels so sporadic and cheap. Was pretty frustrating

@@TheT3rr0rMask Welcome to how old 2D Castlevania games were!

For me, all was well until the volcano stage...

It's the glasses and blond hair, right? Some kinky nun stuff added and olé!

Nope if you ignore them all in the ending they take an explosion for zangestu and still die

@@jd2792 Hence me saying "ignored one or two allies" - in that case everyone lives.

lol

That is what a backlog is for.

And they at one point were planning on making him playable in Dawn of Sorrow. See, DoS had a Julius Mode, like in AoS. Only, this time it was a callback to Castlevania 3, with Julius recruiting a few allies to take on the castle. You had Julius Belmont in place of Trevor, Yoko Belnades in place of Sypha, and Alucard as hinself, albeit with his sword from Symphony instead of his bats from CV3. The only one missing was a Grant Danasty analogue, but some voice lines left in the game imply they were going to make Hammer fill that role. Why they left him out I can’t say; maybe they just couldn’t figure out how to make him play like Grant in a way that makes sense. And Robert feels like that concept is realized; his gun is like a modernized version of the throwing knife Grant has in the Japanese version of CV3, and he can cling to walls and jump off of them, albeit not as well as Grant can.

I’m mixed on it.

I kind of like the subtitles since they at least are at the end. Might get confusing if there’s a really long game title later, though

Yeah, it really just feels like an antdude clone since he does the same thing, so I feel like this has no more personality compared to earlier videos when it felt more personalized.

@@ibilesfighter3.16 ikr i hate nitrorad clones omg!!!!! all these copying copycat carls make me wanna hae a fucking hernia!!!! grr!!!111!!

Apparently it helps for youtube ratings, and since it doesnt really have any negative effect on the video Im perfectly fine with it.

So, cross promoting?

Also Zangetsu in the future was a nod to how he appears in one of the Gunvolt games (the structure seen is the Sumeragi HQ).

I think it's not ignore all of them but ignore 1 or 2 of them.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 god that was a terrible call by Nintendo and wayforward

In the ending of CotM 's Nightmare mode, complete with a reference to Mega Man 2's intro.

@@jruler93 I dont even remember that and I 100%ed COTM

...it took me a minute to realize this

@@JustJohn816 I don't remember if the camera was panning up or down, but I remember Zangetsu waking up atop a skyscraper, then staring at a cityscape in the background.

i greatly prefer classic castlevania over igarashi's styled castlevanias, so i was happy to hear about this sequel, and i *really* hope curse of the moon styled bloodstaineds keeps getting games

@@yourehereforthatarentyou Why not both?

I think Mega Man 11 was also only like 3 days after his Mega Man X8 video.

river city zangetsu

You can actually recruit two allies and ignore one for the same results. That's how I prefer playing it, with Miriam and Alfred.
