I've been waiting for a game i had enough interest in to finally make a run on, looks like i found it :D. I'm currently doing some "planning"(not much to do, but i'm playing from begining to end a few times to memorize which candle gives what and and to get to know the bosses). It might take awhile till i actually finish the run tough, i'm very hard on myself when it comes to my gameplay, i might make a few(read:alot) of "Test" movies. And also because i'm only gonna use the rerecord features to get back to the start of the stage, no savestates in the middle of the stage. Granted you cant tell if i use them, but this is a challenge to myself (yeah i'm THAT crazy).Plus i'm gonna use slowdown but only at 50% lol Oh, if you guys want to make a run you go ahead, as i said it might take me awhile to complete mine. I'll be using "Spear Guy" for this run. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up that i'm working on this, since no once actually(sp?) said that they were gonna run this game i tought i'd run it myself. If you're also working on a run for this game please post here so we can share some info and such.

The characters have names, you know. It's Eric LeCarte, IIRC.
someone is out there who will like you. take off your mask so they can find you faster. I support the new Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun.

I know his name, i just refered to him that way because i tought it'd be funnier that way and besides Bombahead wanted a run with the spear dude not with Éric LeCarte ;P

Will you play in Expert mode?? you have to do the classic Konami code to get it, also i think that playing with Morris could be faster than with Lecarde for most places.

I tought about it and i'll prolly do a normal difficulty one. As for the choice of characters i'm prolly gonna do a run for each of them, i find that Lecard's Spear Vaulting is much more useful than Morris's Whip Swing, and i think that Lecard might walk a touch faster than Morris(might be my brain playing tricks on me). Morris is stronger in terms of attack, so the boss fights would most likely be faster, but Lecard can get to some places faster than Morris can.

I just finished Stage1 with LeCarde and got a time of 3:09, got hit on purpose to get past the bone dragon. I might be able to get a faster time but i'm not sure how, there's only a couple mistakes that would save bearly a second. If you want the .gmv feel free to pm with your email or contact me via msnm. EDIT: It was done on expert btw...

Bisqwit, do you accept movies that use a button combination to access something in the beginning, in this case the "expert" difficulty? I just read in a different thread that you've rejected movies because of using codes, so I want to make sure I can still submit my movie before I make it.

Hopefully you'll accept Expert mode runs, because i've already started :P These times are measured as soon as your sprite stops moving after you get the orb. Level 1 - 3:14.81 http://dannyfowler.150m.com/gens_movies/castlevania_bloodlines_expert_lecarde_v1_dan_.gmv The rom used is Castlevania_-_Bloodlines_(U)_[!].bin

Dan_, I have a copy of the same rom (CV B [U] [!]) verified as such by GoodGen, yet your movie doesn't work with it. 10000000+ rerecords, means the GMV and ROM are mismatched. Any ideas?

The movie works for me, but it desyncs shortly after the 'Hellhound' boss is defeated.

I just checked the rom in GoodGen 0.999.8, and I got... nothing. I was using a good rom, "Castlevania_-_Bloodlines_(U)_[!].bin," exactly as I said before. I just played the movie and it worked perfectly for me. I'll figure this out...

Same thing for me, using the (U) [!] rom, tried with both 3buttons and 6 buttons settings and still nothing, maybe Jyzero can enlighten us on the issue hehe

Could it be a case of the file having gone corrupt when being uploaded to the webserver? Dan_, could you try the downloadable version and check? For the record, I get the same OOS as everyone else. Edit: Desync is at stage 1-6, character takes a hit that he apparently shouldn't have when jumping platforms right before the first skull/turret-thingie of the the game. Redownloading does nothing. :/

I downloaded the rom from 2 different sites, and the movie worked on both of them. It appears that my movie changed when going from my computer to ya'll's. I've re-uploaded it, so try downloading it again and hopefully it'll work. If not, can you please tell me where it desyncs, like the stage (as found in the top right corner)? Then I could start recording again from there and hopefully it'll work next time.

Stage 1-6 is where you get hit by a skeleton. Here's a couple of pics: You're not there 'cause you're flashing and you were "off" when I took it. Here's one, paused, but you're visible.
