Belmont's Curse movement tech: By attacking right after starting an air dash, Rose keeps some forward momentum. This seems to be about 15% faster than slide -> air dash.
Works with any weapon type except Great Sword or Whip
Belmont's Curse has the strongest parry of any Castlevania game. Here's a Medusa one cycle at just level 7, expect to see this in speedruns very soon
Really cool new glitch in OoT was just found. Using a bottled item as a lingering hitbox is disappearing can cause the bottled item to overwrite damage values. 2 big uses so far are beating Volvagia without hammer, and Ganondorf without light arrows.
Castlevania Rondo of Blood completed without taking damage! People consider this an easy game but as a No Hit Speedrun, Rondo is one of the very toughest Classicvanias.
Here are some highlights to show you what I mean
Konami basically just confirmed that a Castlevania 3D collection of some kind is in development and will release after Belmont's Curse.
But which games will be included? No sign of CV64... Definitely a big day for PS2 Vania fans!
Everyone's talking about Metroid again so here's my favorite bit of tech from Zero Mission, the Wall Jump Bomb Jump:

Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement TGS 2026 Trailer [ESRB]
Starting Castlevania Rondo of Blood No Hit speedruns today! The key to this game is... the Key. It's the strongest subweapon and Richter can dodge attacks using its item crash.
Here's the boss rush using the Key:
Chaotic Magic Seals have been added to the latest Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow Archipelago! Each seal is a random combination of points and lines (up to 19 lines max), it gets crazy
Big record improvement for Castlevania Curse of Darkness Glitchless!! This is my first real world record for a 3DVania game, it's a great speedrun category that uses so many cool strategies and weapons. Any% is next!

Axe Armor
One of the many hollow suits of armor that defend Dracula's Castle, the Axe Armor overwhelms intruders with axes thrown high and low, as well as returning throws that strike from behind.
Those who manage to evade its axes and draw near are met with a heavy blow.
