    Dracula even sat behind Funk, to watch him beat this game in person!

    Jesus man, I can't imagine how hard some of these songs are to play WHILE a run is happening. Shoutouts to Funkdoc and Kareshi for an amazing run!

    @JonHT96 Před 10 lety +80

    I don't know which is more amazing: the speed run or the pianoist. That is some amazingf piano playing to replicate the music on the piano. The stage music and even get th stage end music right.

      Mister E. On the other hand, the speedrunners have been playing and practicing games for years and years as well. Ever watch someone completely new to video games play an easy game? It's not a pretty sight...

    Shout out to Dracula on the front row.

    It makes it almost like watching a 1930's silent movie with a piano, this is fantastic

    @lvlupgaming2014 Před 10 lety +34

    The piano is Epic! I love how on stage 4 he even caught that it reverts to the stage 2 music after getting to the surface of the level. I don't need to talk about how epic funkdoc is.

  • @axl170
    @axl170 Před 8 lety +6

    Kudos to the pianist, for not only learning the soundtrack to the entire game and playing it with barely a missed note all the way through, but also being so comfortable with it that he could manage the level transitions (and the death) seamlessly! Amazing pairing with funkdoc, putting in another awesome speedrun.

    11:11 that transition from the Heart of Fire theme to the Boss Theme was SOO seamless! Amazing!

  • @BattletoadOVerload
    @BattletoadOVerload Před 8 lety +8

    The piano made this to much more exciting to watch. No commentary needed!

  • @MoarOfTehRawkege
    @MoarOfTehRawkege Před 11 lety +3

    I like that he keeps playing the level theme for a bit and then plays it real fast like "how was I supposed to know he'd die?"

  • @prismaticat
    @prismaticat Před 3 lety +2

  • @AAABattery24
    @AAABattery24 Před 11 lety +11

    I'll be honest: The music increases the awesomeness drastically.

  •  Před 9 lety +16

    Ah, this whole thing keeped me smiling. Amazing speedrun (I don't mind the death), fantastic piano music, Neo and the Doctor... just amazing!

    • @monocleenthusiast2381
      @monocleenthusiast2381 Před 9 lety +7

      Ádám Pajor I think the death made it even better because it showed that Kareshi not only prepared for the occasion, but was able to execute accordingly.

  • @Malystryx997
    @Malystryx997 Před 8 lety +8

    I dont know how I missed this a few years ago, the piano doing the music is flipping awesome, I wish you guys did more stuff like this in more recent AGDQ's

  • @AgentMidnight
    @AgentMidnight Před 11 lety +2

    The piano accompaniment was very impressive. Kudos to the speedrunner as well for beating a pretty tough game.

  • @citizencr4o
    @citizencr4o Před 12 lety +6

    the fact that this guy named himself "funkdoc" makes him absolutely cool in my mind (no sarcasm)

  • @paulovictorbarros3822
    @paulovictorbarros3822 Před 2 lety +1

    One of the best speedruns on AGDQ ever. It's up there with Siglemic's 120 star run and Cosmo's any% OoT. Both players are simply amazing.

  • @deltastory4011
    @deltastory4011 Před 2 lety +1

    Seeing someone blaze through the hardest game I've ever completed is both inspiring and a blow to my self-esteem.

  • @SpeedDemosArchiveSDA

    @hoosherdaddy Here;s the thing, at the moment im uploading all the videos from speed demos archive's recent Speed run marathon, so all of them will have the split screen. After im done, however, it's back to business posting the normal ones off the site.

  • @CaptainKnighter
    @CaptainKnighter Před 12 lety +2

    GREAT JOB on the Final Boss theme with the piano. I personally thought that was the best he did. Otherwise, great run! Keep these things going, they're very interesting and fun to watch!

  • @GammaRidley
    @GammaRidley Před 11 lety +1

    Absolutely amazing! I've watched your past charity events and I've always loved when you use the piano.

  • @BrokenChampion

    The piano makes this the most unique speed run i've ever seen.

  • @Flaza54
    @Flaza54 Před 11 lety +5

    A valiant effort on Heart of Fire, those transitions can be tough :p Fantastic job by both Funkdoc and Kareshi :)

  • @quiet451
    @quiet451 Před 4 lety +4

    I wonder if the piano player even practiced the dying theme for this run. Like, no, I won't need that.

  • @ChromeCobra420
    @ChromeCobra420 Před 2 lety +1

    Even ol' Dr. Acula was impressed with him getting his ass whupped.
    Shout out to FunkDoc for inviting the Drac and Kareshi for this epic run. Was it the best or fastest speed run? Not close, but it was by far the most awesome.
    Thanks to everyone involved in its excellence.

    that was fucking awesome. it broke my heart to see the guy die on level three but it was still epic and a really good speedrun beat every attempt i ever had at a speedrun for castlevania. I think im gonna download the audio from this video and make a ringtone from the piano music!!!!!

  • @tulpenfuchs1328

    @nickcushing7374 Před 2 lety +1

    Bruh it's so clear to me how old this video really is. I mean this was before they knew you could just hit the bay and skip the moving platforms in the cave. Crazy. Summoning salt was right tho, this is a really cool video!

  • @Momohhhhhh
    @Momohhhhhh Před 11 lety +1

    Yes! I love seeing runners using enemy hits to improve a speed run. I think it's done in some super metroid runs,where it's apparently possible to practically fly across rooms by turning just before an enemy hits you, or something like that.

  • @JwopDk
    @JwopDk Před 11 lety +1

    It's awesome to see him use that 'feature' where you're sent flying backwards once you hit an enemy to his advantage to get to higher platforms! THAT'S RIGHT! IT'S PAYBACK FOR ALL THOSE TIMES THOSE THINGS KNOCKED ME OFF MY PLATFORMS SENDING ME TO MY COLD INVISIBLE GRAVE! THOSE DAMN CHEAP DEATHS! Otherwise, this game is awesome, and so is the runner and the guy on piano. Spiced things up a bit, he did.
