Juste the best Belmont passing through

If Konami where to get its shit together and actually make a new Castlevania when should it take place?

Go back to the old canon and have it take place in 1999.

We need a game about 1999.

>he
Huh. I thought juste was a woman with an oversized coat and manly shoulders.

>modern Konami
>making a game on Iga's personal OC

This is a hypothetical where Konami has its shit together.

We'll never know how the best Belmont singlehandedly won WW3 vs Dracula.

Also fuck Soma.

That's not Julius

Fuck you instead, Soma is awesome and should have been playable in Smash. He still could be.

Ahhhhh, fuck it. FUCK IT! Bloodstained is coming out this year and it's going to be amazing. It doesn't matter what Konami does anymore. Castlevania is out of their hands. Bloodstained will probably even get sequels that can come out in a reasonable amount of time now that they've got the engine all sorted out.

Nah, fuck that. Soma's toolset is too wide to satisfactorily cut it down for Smash. You'd never be able to get people to agree on what the hell he should be doing.

That's never stopped them before.

>JUST Belmont

Honestly Soma's ideal moveset would be the Flame Demon - Succubus - Demon Bat setup you need to get the secret ending.

>secret ending
That's the canon ending which you have to get to experience the full story. I wouldn't exactly call it a secret. But I agree.

That's the blandest moveset you could choose though. At the very least just replace succubus with one of the boss abilities in there, I guess the flame demon could stay tho

That's not how you spell JUESE. Step aside plebs.

Why is it that set up in particular anyways?

Because those are the components of Dracula and Soma is Dracula.

>succubus is one of the components of Dracula
That's kinda gay

>"From this day onward, the Belmont clan WIL HUNT THE NIGHT!"
Props to the VA, he really conveyed how Leon was both amazing and pissed off at the same time.

Not if the balls don't touch.

Fireballs mimic the ones used by Graham
Bat is required (Like in SotN) in order to reach the boss
Succubus is the odd one out. I guess the health regen is supposed to be blood sucking

Either way all three make you look like Dracula and Graham freaks out and loses his powers.

If they used Succubus I guarantee they would do some weird thing with it that isn't actually how it functions in the game.

>Christopher that low
>one of the only two Belmonts to kick Dracula's ass twice
>the only one to walk away from two fights unscathed
>saved his son from Dracula's influence without having to kill him

Lords of Shadow (1) was fun

LoS1 is the only 3D Castlevania that the hivemind seems to agree is a good game. That disappeared for 2 for some reason, though.

The only questionable part about Christopher is, who the fuck names their kid Soleiyu?

Yea Forums hivemind?

>that disappeared for 2 for some reason, though
no wonder, 2 was bad

the one thing i want to know is why he looks like vigo the carpathian in some art

It started development as a GBA version of SotN and was later turned into its own game

>even the ios version of 2D castlevania got canned

I don't care anymore I just want a new game

Bloodstained.

I will never not be upset. 1999 is the fucking CLIMAX of the war between the Belmont clan and Dracula and it's just used as a fucking footnote.

The PS2vanias seem pretty well received here outside of "wish it had some actual level design tho" criticism.

college laptop won't be able to run it

In that case why do you want a new game, you wouldn't be able to run that either.

Speaking of, when is the gacha Grimoire of Souls suppose to come out?

Oh shit, they're making a gacha game? Fuck it, I'll take it.

castlevania.fandom.com/wiki/Castlevania:_Grimoire_of_Souls

How will he work if hes in Harmony of Despair?

Neat. It may not be the game people wanted, but hey, it's a new Castlevania game, and I have no problem with at least giving gacha games a try. It's free, after all.

I'm also kind of surprised that it took all this time to add the Bloofer Lady to Castlevania, and of all games, it would be this one.

They had a beta ages ago and then nothing, I'm suspecting it was quietly cancelled

I literally found this after I posted toucharcade.com/2019/01/31/castlevania-grimoire-of-souls-global-release/

Well the most recent news on it was from only a month ago so I wouldn't give up hope just yet.

Why is 2 considered bad? I never played it but I had a friend who really liked it and had no idea why all the critics hated it, but he died so I can't ask him.

I played it 3-4 years ago so my memory is a bit fuzzy, but i can tell you i didn't really liked the navigation system (backtracking is a bitch), the fact that most fights happened in cramped spaces and that the plot was mediocre at best.
The worst to me was the ending since it has sort of a cliffhanger, but Konami did say in advance this was the end of the reboot saga, so everyone who gave a damn got blueballed.

I keep creating threads where I quote this song but nobody ever seems to get it because I don't get responses. So I appreciate that you exist.

He is canonically the strongest. Still not the best tho

Isn't Julius considered the strongest?

Different user here, to be fair, Bloodstained has no right to require that much power to run. Especially the original demo which looks like a fucking PS2 game, it shouldn't be so taxing. My old school laptop that could easily run AAA games from around 2013 like Far Cry 3/ Bioshock Infinite/ AC Black Flag/ Saints Row IV couldn't run the Bloodstained demo.

Bloodstained can't come out soon enough.

Damn, think of the sheer amount of fanart we'll get when it's actually a released game.

>Bloodstained
user

I think he's saying that it can't come out soon enough so that people will stop talking about that weird porn game.

Reminder that Danasty is not pronounced "Da Nasty" and is actually pronounced "Dawnasty."

>so that people will stop talking about that weird porn game.
That's not going to happen.

The more fabulous one, the only Belmont to go out of the way to decorate a room with furniture

Because what happened in 1999 doesn't matter.

>But Julius killed Dracula for good!
Obviously he didn't since Soma is Dracula.

>1999
It was only background fluff to justify playing as Teen Fujobait Dracula. And here's the thing about Castlevania's stories: they aren't special. The only games to put more than cursory effort into their stories are the Lords of Shadow games. Story doesn't matter to Castlevania, and the only thing interesting about the 1999 conflict is its significance to the narrative. There's no reason to think a 1999 game would be any more or less extravagant than any other Castlevania game. It would simply have a "but this time he's actually dead! For real!" qualifier with its stock "DAMN YOU BELMONTS!" Dracula quashing, with a side of GRORIOUS NIPPON SHINTO FOLDED THOUSAND TIMES.

I'm not opposed to a 1999 game or anything, but I don't find it particularly enthralling as a concept. I don't think it would make the overall game anymore special than any other Castlevania story has ever enriched its containing game.

Really? The whole premise of the war would give the game a perfect excuse to be something besides "go into Dracula's castle and kill him." Furthermore Julius' involvement in the war would be a good reason to make a proper game with Julius as the protagonist, and you can't deny that would be awesome.

What do you think of Sepia Belmont?

Nice of all of the fathers her fertile body fostered children for to let the kids all take the mom's last name instead of theirs.

Why are there multiple pictures of her doing the same pose?

>The whole premise of the war would give the game a perfect excuse to be something besides "go into Dracula's castle and kill him."
Just like World War II in Portrait of Ruin, right? At most I think it would involve soldiers in cut scenes fighting off demon goons while Julius goes into the castle to do the usual. There's no real way of involving the "war" aspect without diverging from the Castlevania concept so much it would be unrecognizable. A Classicvania with its segmented levels could better accommodate the scope of the war (consider Bloodlines' trek through Europe), but the war itself would still be garnishing at most. Julius kills some monster to help the troops capture a location or something.
>and you can't deny that would be awesome.
Julius is just a standard Belmont. In 1999 he's the age of a college student, so he probably wouldn't even have his cool little Van Dyke beard which is his only distinguishing feature aside from being vaguely STRONK.

Because raising your arms behind your head extends your chest out while exposing armpits.
Her design has a large chest and nothing covering the armpits, so it's arguably the sexiest pose she can make to abuse her design.

Soleil is French for sun and like classic castlevania it messes up on translation

He perma killed the Mathias Cronqvist Dracula that was the one reanimating. Soma is, more or less, a new entity.

Armpit pussy

So a guy named Christopher gives his kid a French name.

So? My name is Joseph and my sons name is Alucard and my daughter is Teetree

It's kind of like how Samus permanently killed Ridley in Super Metroid and any reappearance of Ridley since then has turned out to be something else. Dracula's death in 1999 was a significant moment and a game about it would be the most memorable game in the series just like Super Metroid is.

The people from Wygol Village had to come from somewhere.

I don't really think that's what makes Super Metroid memorable.

Holy shit there is almost no information about this character on the English language internet, and her official art has only been posted on Yea Forums a single time. I don't know how you people even found out she existed.

Well why don't you wait for Castlevania 1999 to come out and then we'll see what is and isn't memorable.
