I have not played this particular castlemania so I don't have any real advice. look up a longplay on youtube and watch how someone whos already gud does it.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA

Let's all laugh at the dumbass playing a game designed for a gamepad on a typewriter. You get what you deserve

I didn't play the original, but the PSP version wasn't that bad. I dunno if they changed anything though.

as long as his keyboard can handle as many simultaneous inputs as he needs, it can be just as good or better than a controller.

>keyboard allows for faster reaction times and more precision

Since when did kids started using this retarded argument?
No. the game was designed to be played with a pad.
There is no "faster reaction times", be sure to emulate this game using a CRT monitor and not a LCD to avoid any latency.
And get some decent pad to play Castlevania.

I can not even imagine the clusterfuck that must be trying to maneuver Richter in mid-air while throwing a subweapon with a keyboard.

>the game was designed to be played with a pad.

you mean the programmer just mapped the actions to some buttons and called it a day?

>I can not even imagine the clusterfuck that must be trying to maneuver Richter in mid-air while throwing a subweapon with a keyboard.

that's because git gud faggot
you're using more fingers so it's logical that you're gonna have more control and be faster if you just git gud

[Anonymous No.1844509]

>>1844502

>you mean the programmer just mapped the actions to some buttons and called it a day?

They programmed the game so that all your actions can be quickly accesed through a d-pad and 2 buttons. Not 4 separate keys on a keyboard.

>git gud

Can you please go back to /v/ already? I beat Rondo of Blood with both Richter and Maria to a 100% completion, never even had trouble with Shaft.

Again, there is no "faster" or "more precision" with a keyboard, it just makes the input mehtod clunkier.

please don't go full retard on me
the gamepad isn't even well designed
and then they programmed it so you have to press select for the special
On the keyboard I mapped it to SHIFT, Z is I and x is II, How the fuck would that make the input clunkier instead of easier?

What the fuck is the difference? It's a 1:1 mapping. They're the same.

[Anonymous No.1844547]

>>1844540
>using the special

I see you're pretty bad at this game. Anyway, If you're using any other regular pad for the PC, you can select the special to any other button. On the PSP port of Rondo, the special is the triangle button.

And the clusterfuck of using keyboard as a control for an action game like Castlevania doesn't come with the I and II buttons, it's the d-pad. You're using 3 or 4 fingers for something that should only require your thumb. yes, it's a clusterfuc, and don't come with your more "precisions" or "faster" bullshit, you're the one who's having trouble with an easy boss like Shaft, I already beat him ages ago.

But it's literally just an improved NES controller.

>>1844290
Are you even watching how the orbs move before they drop the lightning on you? If not, watch them and adjust Richter's position and movement accordingly. Shaft himself doesn't do much but jump around the place while giving commands to the orbs as I recall, more or less the orbs themselves you need to watch out for.

this is real improvement

[Anonymous No.1844568]

I use the special when I'm about to get hit and can't afford it.


>You're using 3 or 4 fingers for something that should only require your thumb

babby can't use more than 2 fingers
maybe this game is more for you

[Anonymous No.1844575]

Technically you're both wrong.
The improved NES controller was the dogbone controller. The SNES pad was an improved dogbone.

well you seem like a pretty bad player for someone who tells others "babby" and "git gud".

I agree with the other anon, go back to /v/, this isn't your place.
Also YOU are the one having trouble with the game, not us.

[Anonymous No.1844579]

>>1844553

I watch them alright
but sometimes they close in really fast and you can't do nothing about it
the other orbs I can deal with just fine though

[Anonymous No.1844580]

I take it you have never held a TG controller. It's the same as a NES controller but slightly bigger for adult hands and comes with turbo.

[Anonymous No.1844581]

I bet you also tell fighting players to stop using arcade sticks and play with a keyboard or else they're babbys who need to git gud or something

ITT: OP is a faggot.

Not surprised, but /vr/ used to be better...

also, why the fuck has Castlevania had an increase in popularity as of late? I see various daily CV thrads on /v/. It's probably how OP got to emulate Rondo and has now come to us to bitch about his inaptitude at it.
Has there been any new Castlevania announcement or something recently? some digital re-release?

[Anonymous No.1844597]

I beat a ton of games with a keyboard before I had MotionJoy... Contra, all three Castlevanias, pretty much every Mega Man... you get used to it, but a controller is so much better, there's no going back.

But...the NES controller borrowed the design from the SNES controller. SNES came out in NA in late 91, the toploader NES didn't come out until late 93.

[Anonymous No.1846612]

Did you guys actually have a problem with Dracula or is this a whole "metroid cant crawl" kind of thing? I play on keyboard, this is the easiest boss in all of Rondo of Blood. The spheres pop up right fucking above where the lightning comes down (giving the illusion that it is creating the lighting). Either stand in the middle or walk away from the lighting. Have you guys fucking tried that? Or are you trying to hurt Dracula while encased in the lightning? Whatever you are doing, don't. Wait until after lightning to strike, then wait for him to reappear. This whole boss is just a really boring puzzle, like one of the Mega Man 1 bosses (I forget his name, Yellow Devil?).

[Anonymous No.1846619]

>>1846612
Oh yeah, I forgot to say that the spheres pop up at least a fucking second before the lightning actually comes down. That is pretty important when I say that you are being a dumbass. The lightning is like five seven pixels wide, you can easily traverse this obstacle in less than a second.

/vr/ has been compromised for awhile now. I wont blame anybody, but things started really going downhill when people started arguing for the Dreamcast, though I agree with what they were saying. That must have brought along company. People were seeing other /vr/ browsers biting the bait, thought it was hilarious, started making statements like "oh well i mean it doesn't matter the ps2 will be /vr/ in a year", or "there have been two or more concurrent threads about x, this belongs in /vg/", oldfags were going fucking nuts. old /b/ wanted a slice of the pie, they are still bombarding us with the most devious, well enough thought out things they could say, ironic shitposting at it's finest. Well now all the shitposting you see is pretty ironic, for the most part, though some are still bitter after the war, and it will only get worse as more and more people find this funny. Eventually, /vr/ will be nothing more than pixel /v/, a haven for ironic shitposting, and moot will welcome it because all the money his ads are giving him from the additional traffic so nothing will be fixed.

We were compromised long before the dreamcast became "retro" according to the rules that are just made up on the spot here. Newfag threads (in particular emu in all of its sick incarnations) have been shitting up this place since early days. The the mods licking hipster asses makes it even worse. I don't think moot is making a shitload off /vr/ but I'm sure he makes more off ignorant shithead kids than people who know know WTF they're talking about

[Anonymous No.1846995]

oh, wow fuck. I still think what I said should still apply though but man that throws me off. Sorry if I am wrong, don't remember much of the other bosses beside the difficulty I associated with them. Have a good thread.
