    @Alex_Off-Beat Před rokem +125

    Maria is soo fun to play as in the Saturn version. Although I understand why they changed her to be more like her Rondo of Blood incarnation in the later releases, it's still sad that we never got "Ultra Instinct" Maria again!
    At least we have the translation patch and the enhancement patch now!

      The adult Maria as a martial fighter makes so much more sense honestly. As a child she's been using her magical powers as a crutch, and now she's complimenting her physical prowess with them. I'd like it much more if Konami left her kicks and dashes intact.

      @godd1291 Před 29 dny +1

      @@MiraihiGenerally speaking, i would have loved to see her function a tinge more like her Rondo counterpart. She might as well be another character at this point, as none of her traits really carry over personality wise. Obviously, she’s older, and it’d be odd and tonally strange if she fulfilled the exact same role. For example, her naiveness exhibited from say, her ending dialogue with Dracula from Rondo would have to be toned down.
      Gameplay wise, as fun as she is with her baseline movement, I think she lacks _so_ much of her original fighting style, especially with her summons. Why does the tiger summon fire, when the red bird does so in Rondo? It seems like the PSP fixes those conceptual inconsistencies, but also makes her far too close to her play style from Rondo; where she is loads of fun to play as with her additional movement in a Classicvania, that being applied to the Metroidvania titles comes off as meh, especially for a side character mode. All in all, we probably should have a Maria that combines all of her ideas with Saturn’s movement as the base.

    Four beast spell caught my attention. Looked like tiger, phoenix, turtle and dragon. Which are the 4 totem gods of a game called Nexus TK which is based on Korean Mythology. Baekho = tiger. Ju Jak = Phoenix. Hyun moo = turtle and Chung Ryong = Dragon.
    They're the same colors too.
    After doing some research that's exactly what these are though these ones are based on off Chinese mythology. Either way found it interesting.

    I was wondering what Maria is like in action in other games. Only reference is from _Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls._ Because of the magic of the grimoires, you have a whole cast of CV characters being manifested, from Simon and Trevor Belmont, to Maria, to Shanoa, Albus, and beyond. On top of that, there are TWO versions of Maria! 12yo version of her is a primary character, but her 17yo version is in the form of Alter Arts (characters you can tag in and play as for about 30s at a time).
