I've been slightly quiet about Warriors All-Stars recently because I've been working on other things but I have still squeezed in some time for it, and I now only have 7 characters left!
As long as events after max regard don't take too long, I'll definitely be done in time for Utawarerumono Zan Day

Phase 3 of ReBirth's final boss has some of the most fun patterns to learn in the entire series it's so good. Unfortunately it's a nearly 5 full minute long fight, not even including phase 1 and 2 and I'm not a fan of endurance tests. I prefer my bosses to be punishing and short, not an hour long.

Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth was definitely way better than the original Adventure, but also it's not even really a remake, it's an entirely different game with almost no similarities, and I'd still consider it the most average game in the entire series. Not a bad game, but a bit forgettable.

I'll definitely stream again later in the week, whether it's tomorrow, Friday, or over the weekend, but I'm making much faster pace on WAS now, so as long as I don't slack off on progress too much, I should easily be able to complete it before mid-December. I'm well past the halfway point now!

Also they transed the gender of the Mud Women and Wolf Woman in Arrange Mode and that's cool af. As odd as it is how few sprites get changed in Arrange Mode, I'm glad at least the ones they did go out of their way to redo look really nice.

Despite internet issues, I did get to go back and finish Castlevania Chronicles on stream, somehow I've saved all of the best Classicvanias for last, this is tied with Rondo of Blood as my new favorite, maybe even above that game once I play Original Mode later!

Break time is over! Stream is tomorrow morning again, I'm feeling Castlevania withdrawal I NEEEEEEEEEED to play Castlevania Chronicles NOW!
I should really put together a schedule graphic, I think I've nailed down pretty consistent times for streams: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays around ~9 AM.

Normally when using both hero skills and special attacks the camera is locked into a short cutscene until the animation fully plays out. But sometimes, at what I'd previously assumed was random, the camera won't lock and you'll still be able to activate hero skills while the animation is playing.

Arnice and Sophie are complete, but much more importantly I finally understand what determines whether the player gets camera locked or not during special attack and hero skill animations! That may sound like a very minor discovery, but time spent in hero skill animations adds up a lot.

Back in my "juggling several projects, more than one of which has a deadline" phase again! I really need to get better at not letting 50 things pile up...
I still plan to stream tomorrow, but Friday's *may* not happen. I also probably won't check here a ton for a few days to avoid distraction.

I'm still pretty far from the end of Warriors All-Stars and finally being able to have fun again, but at this rate I *should* be able to complete WAS before December 16th!
Unforchies I also wanted to finish Utawarerumono Mask of Deception before Zan but I don't think I have the time for both ;-;

Thank you Fire Emblem Engage OST Tear Streaked (Ice) for allowing me to zone out for several hours and make more progress in Warriors All-Stars in a few hours than I have in weeks 🙏
Sophie and Arnice are effectively complete, I've started Rio, and I've made some progress on a few others as well.

Sonia's 2nd game is at least kinda neat! It was a cancelled 3D game that got leaked like 4 years ago, BUT IT WAS ON THE DREAMCAST AND I LOVE THE DREAMCAST!!!
Castlevania Resurrection isn't even a real finished game what am I supposed to say about this WHY DID OUR QUEEN SUFFER SUCH A HORRIBLE FATE???

I'm so sorry Sonia Belmont, you may have some really funny retconned lore, but your game kinda sucks 😔
Somehow I think that was the 2nd worst Castlevania yet, better than The Adventure, but a huge step down from Belmont's Revenge. Even Vampire Killer was more fun tbh

I did enough Warriors All-Stars grinding over the weekend that I'm okay not streaming it tomorrow, so instead more Castlevania time!
Sophie is almost complete but I left a tiny bit so I'll still be able to show her off next WAS stream, plus I made a small amount of progress toward Arnice as well.

The Game Boy sequel (NOT port/remake this is a sequel it's very different) is way better than the Famicom game tho. Both are great, but I think this one is one of my favorite Game Boy games now, and is another contender for a top spot within the Castlevania series too. It's SO fucking good!

Kid Dracula is good, like REALLY good, both games!
I wasn't even 100% sure whether I even wanted to play these, they're technically Castlevania games but like, barely, completely different gameplay style and aesthetic, but it was included in the Anniversary Collection and I wanted achievements.

Yet another super helpful mechanic in Warriors All-Stars that 100% feels like an unintended interaction between systems that don't mesh well. They could've easily made it so the 2nd hit doesn't activate Dragon's Oracle again, but I'm very happy they didn't! Sometimes this game's a mess in good ways.

Okay I lied William was the fastest character to reach max regard yet lmao.
Under 4 hours total, a fairly painless character and that's not only because William is one of the most fun characters to play imo, improvements in efficiency and some quirks of William combined made this go by super quickly

Warriors All-Stars stream is still happening today but I want to get a few things uploaded to Archive before then (anyone who's uploaded anything to IA knows how slow their upload rates are). William Nioh grinding time will be at 10 AM EST but may be *slightly* delayed depending on how long it takes

Rondo of Blood is so fucking good holy shit, I see it, I get the hype this time, I didn't for Super Castlevania IV but I do for Rondo! Castlevania 1 *may* still be my favorite, but I'm also INSANE and for a normal person, Rondo of Blood is the best Classicvania for sure, it's near perfection.

RYU HAYABUSA IS COMPLETE!! First Warriors All-Stars session after the 2 week hiatus and already huge progress!
Next character to max will be William Nioh, he'll take much longer than Ryu because almost all of his bonds are still at rank 1, but after the break I'm prepared for the long road ahead >:)
