Apparently this game has 5 frames of input lag on the jump and requires you to hold jump for 3 frames or else it just eats your input.

In case you didn't already have enough reasons to hate this stupid game.

Works on my machine

You're probably using shitroarch and have some stupid settings turned on

>muh inputs
You're just a shitter. It may be hard but accepting that you're a total shitter is better uuuu.

>>11872898
This is original hardware you fucking numbskull.

If you are playing the shitty ports, that is going to add an extra 2 frames of lag on top of that, you poor bastard.

unless the input lag is unplayable (like you literally can't react in time) you can get adjusted to it. it is a weird design to input lag into the game itself but it might have a purpose like how you don't instantly attack where you were looking when you hit the attack button in LttP or Dark Souls.

>>11872906
Input lag affects you whether you perceive it or not. It reduces your reaction time and screws with your timing. Also eating jumps where you tap the button quickly is just nonsense since it doesn't do that for attacks or movements.

>SCV4 fag still seething
Kek. Rondo is the GOAT classicvania and 4 will forever be the worst of its generation

I've beaten this game more times than I can count. Whining about input lag is such an insane poser tell unless it's something extreme like the City Connection Cotton ports

>>11872894 (OP)
>Input lag is a problem

Anon even in old competitive games nobody gave a shit.

>>11872894 (OP)
idk bro sounds like a skill issue
on another note I just played through super cas 4 for the first time and it was ass
shit was way too easy, I died once.

>>11872894 (OP)
5 frames is ok

Dracula X is one of tighest most responsive game there is. The player->game response time is on par with the best NES action games, meaning next to zero input lag, short and fast animation, what you press is what you instantly get.

OP is either full of shit or something's seriously wrong with his setup.

>>11872934
Not OP, but where did he mention IV? Aren't you the one who's seething?

>>11872894 (OP)
"Apparently" as in "I can't fucking tell in practice I just read about it"

5 frames of input lag is literally nothing.

>>11872894 (OP)
>filtered by the easiest Castlevania game
How embarrassing

>>11872894 (OP)
Wow... hope someone got fired for this disaster.

>>11872894 (OP)
Skill issue GG

>It reduces your reaction time
Literally 1/12th of a second. Who are you, The Flash?

>>11872934
both Reddit of Blood and Sloppy Castlevania 4 suck ass
Bloodlines is true kino of the 4th gen CV games

>>11872901
define shitter

>>11873414
uhh anon... that's actually fucking massive in the context of an action videogame.

That's about the difference between the top 5% of reaction times and the bottom 5% of reaction times.

>>11872894 (OP)
How did you test this? If you didn't test it yourself, where did you hear it from?

>>11873602
just trust me bro

>>11873517
>Bloodlines is true kino of the 4th gen CV games
Bloodlines SUCKS!! Too much autoscrollers, easy and slow minibosses and the final level is a gimmickfest.
all 4th gen Castlevanias are good.

>>11873627
Bloodlines is the only one where you can hop up the stairs therefore it wins by default.

>>11873602
No, I did test it myself on original hardware, you are welcome to do the same thing.

>>11873645
I asked how. What was your methodology.

>>11873593
Nigga just spam item crash until you win, it's a baby game.

>>11873631
>casualized stair mechanic
>wins
Also Rondo was the first one to let you do that.
Bloodlines is fine but some of its "fans" are really obnoxious newfags who watched some sensationalist youtuber calling it an underrated gem or whatever. Go play the games that came before it first.

>>11873631
>hop up the stairs
You mean hopping while you're in the stairs, or landing on the stars from a previous jump?
Landing on stairs, IV did it first. It doesn't let you jump up after you're on the stairs though, like in CV1 and III.
Rondo lets you land from a jump on them and also jump while on the stairs. Bloodlines is the same as Rondo in that regard.

>>11873810
Rondo you can jump on them but it's still kind of slow, Bloodlines you can bunny hop and just fly up the stairs.

>>11872901
>It may be hard
Think again.
Rondo may as well be the definition of shitter-core btw

>>11873645
This is one of the few cases where no one cares about the original release.

>>11873987
>no one cares about the original release
as opposed to what? I'm talking about the PCE CD version

The PS4 port is two frames worse if you're talking about that.

>>11873987
I do.

>>11872894 (OP)
Ok, and? I beat it with no problems.

You get used to the input lag pretty quickly because it's always the same. It's not like the random slow down that hits sometimes in SCIV or other various snezz games.

>>11872894 (OP)
On my duo it's less than 3 frames of lag and it's more like 1.5 frames for the jump

>>11874013
>slowdown
That's one of bloodlines' major problems. Where's the blast processing?

>>11872989
4 is indeed ass but definitely not easy, especially the last few parts

>>11874031
Genesis plus GX has an overclocking feature which breaks a few games but works on Bloodlines. No more slowdown.

>Rondo bad!
>IV bad!
>Bloodlines bad!
You people think you're being hardcore but you end up signaling putrid taste

>>11872894 (OP)
It's weird seeing someone speak clinically of a games technical design while knowing nothing of actual game design. An Egoraptor clip about Castlevania's jump arcs renders this observation as asinine.

>>11872898
You can actually reduce input lag on RetroArch, retard.

>>11872894 (OP)
What emulator are you using?

>>11873517
>the worst game is the best game hurr durr

Why not just go full retard and say one of the Game Boy ones is secretly the best

>>11874243
Belmont's Revenge pog

>>11873517
>Reddit of Blood and Sloppy Castlevania 4

Speaking of Reddit, this type of meme is similar to what some of the stupidest people on /r/politics do all the time with Donald Trump: They'll robotically type tRump or Drumpf instead of his actual name, as if they believe this is a way of slowly but relentlessly undermining the wicked demon lord's power for the sake of truth and justice. Are you pleased to be a person like that?

>>11874013
Rondo has massive slowdown, especially on the grim reaper boss.

>>11874021
Bullshit, post a test or stop talking out your ass. The OP was tested on original hardware and CRT.

>>11874191
>egoraptor
I think you might be lost, zoomer shitstain. This is not /v/, no one gives a fuck about your parasocial relationship with some faggot eceleb

>no support for 6 button controller so item has to be bound to a button combination (and constantly triggers accidentally when you don't want it)
>most of the items are fucking worthless so it's a massive pain in the ass if you die once with one of the few worthwhile ones and now the boss is like 5x as hard
>massive slowdown on certain bosses
>branching paths are clearly incomplete and half-assed, including one background that's missing its texture and is just one giant green square
>bland and uninspired level designs and underwhelming bosses
>absolutely retarded fucking parts like the bridge section that don't even feel like they were tested
>many levels, bosses, and mechanics are just aped straight from CV1
>artstyle is garish and inconsistent
>worst voice acting known to man
One of the most overrated action games I've ever played, along with Mega Man X.

>>11874328
>>branching paths are clearly incomplete and half-assed, including one background that's missing its texture and is just one giant green square
That and the fact that the normal/default route literally only has one original music track, the rest being NES arrangements, and then Stage 7 is just remixes of those three again in one melody. The actual new music being stuck on the retarded alternate route is a giant mark against Rondo.

>>11874292
I did post my test, obtained on an original duo with a crt.

>>11874292
>Bullshit, post a test or stop talking out your ass.
He provided exactly as much evidence as OP.

>>11874328
>(and constantly triggers accidentally when you don't want it)
You have staggeringly bad input skills.

Bloodlines is better

>>11874717
>bro just never attack while moving up stairs

>>11872894 (OP)
Input lag is a meme forced by shitters. Get good.

>>11874750
Stairs have always been essentially puzzles in the series. Requiring timing, rewarding strategic subweapon selections, they're designed to give that cerebral sponge a lil wrinkle or two.

hmm

>>11872894 (OP)
>this game that feels great to play is actually bad because of numbers
okay, faggot

>>11873164
It's always tendies that seethe over Rondo, and because their system got an inferior port they are compelled to pretend that CV4 is ackshually the best of the generation and not an unfinished mess of a launch title with buggy controls. Bloodlines enjoyers and Rondochads enjoy each other's games equally. Dracula XX is still a great game btw just not in the same league as Rondo
>>11873517
t. false flagging scv4fag

>>11874243
Rondo only barely edges out Bloodlines for the top spot due to its alternate routes, cutscenes, and music. Gameplay-wise, Bloodlines is the crisper experience and Belmont's Revenge and Kid Dracula are top tier kino. I'm sorry your uncle touched you btw

>>11872894 (OP)
>Apparently this game has 5 frames of input lag on the jump
I counted 4. And that's no big deal at all, games like Mario World and Sonic have 3. You just suck at the game, lol.

>>11875601
>alternate routes
Noticeably lower quality than the main route, rushed, borderline unfinished, clearly never tested, including an out-of-place all-green background texture. For some reason this garbage route contains the only unique music

>cutscenes
only the intro cutscene is good, the other cutscenes are just filler with terrible voice acting

>music
remixes of previous Castlevania games (starting to notice a trend here)

It's a 6/10 being generous.

>>11875605
I mistakenly counted the activation frame so it's 3 of input lag while Mario and Sonic have 2. And that makes OP suck even harder, lol.

>>11872894 (OP)
This was the game responsible for turning the series into a braindead corridor walking simulator that removed all the challenging platforming.

>>11875995
Post video proof, please. We are talking about Rondo, not Dracula X.

>>11875593
You just seem like a guy who has Nintendo rent free 24/7.
All 4th gen Castlevanias are good. This whole "let's pretend rondo/bloodlines/4 suck!" schtick was always stale from the first day.
Kudos for not being an NPC and acknowledging that XX is an original game and not a "watered down Rondo port" as the internet hivemind started believing since the 2000s.

>>11875979
>remixes of previous Castlevania games
you mean like the entirety of every classicvania game after 1?

>>11872894 (OP)
What? Iv never encountered this when I played rondo of blood and I was using retroarch, beat the game fine

>>11872894 (OP)
haven't noticed that issue myself, can't be that bad in practice desu
there's nothing stupid about it except the i-frames being too short and jumping being a little wonky if you don't understand how it works, it's one of the best 16 bit castlevanias along with 4
