Not been playing that much, and I haven't really cared about the criticals. I'm on my way to death, just got the Floodgate Key.

Hmm, i found a memory adress that has something to do with the criticals, it's 0200008 that's always an odd number when a critical hit occurs.

No, you just need the relics for the good ending. And would be really great if I could figure out how the criticals work.

I'm not planning on getting the heart, I really don't need it. Don't really know why the teleportating didn't work, now I'm not sure if it's worth getting the tip early since it doesn't matter if I visit the gate or not. I also totally forgot to kill Shadow before getting the Crushing Stone. And the Crushing Stone really isn't that useful. I'll do twice the damage if it's fully charged, but the charge time is too long. And if I use it instead of the Platinum Tip I'll do much less base damage.

Yes I'm going to get the Crushing Stone, I need it to get the Floodgate Key.

I go back because I want the tip early and to get the lure key right after i can use the gates. The critical hit part was intresting, do you think it's possible to manipulate every hit?

The new glitch you think you've discovered, it's not a glitch. It's just a way to teleport between the gates, no boots required. The thing about getting the Lure Key early is the exact thing I'm planning to do, though I'm going back to the entrace gate after getting the double jump. I've updated my movie, it goes as far as to that gate. Get it here. If you wonder why I got the Soul Orb it's because I wanted to know how much damage I'm doing, this is just a test run after all.

Hmm, it's been a while since i played this game, but i remember to thunder book and the bible (the gradius shield) to be really powerful.

Nice, didn't know that. Also, do you think it's faster to kill those "boomerang" throwing skeletons than to skip them?

http://hornqvist.ath.cx/~martin/castlevania-hod-hornqvist.vbm There's a few things I know i can improve. Like skipping the rolling skull, don't know how I could've missed that.

You can do the door-glitch when getting the Lizard Tail much faster. When you enter the door immediatly dash back then back in again. In the crystal room with the big blue bomb throwers. You can easily jump over them without wasting mana. I can show you my run if you'd like, though I'm not aiming for the good ending.
