Castlevania Judgment -- Story Mode, Cornell

- Hey! Remember this? I'm back in action and finally going to stop keeping people hanging on this one... I think. This game is hard, man! Hard on the arm! My whipping arm gets all worn out if I get too gung ho about things, right?
I'm at least going to try to tough it out until I reach the end of the roster, but we'll see how that goes.
Anyway, we pick back up with Cornell... and... I don't know if I'm retaining my combat abilities or if it's just Cornell being THAT fast and thus able to beat the AI at its own over-eager offense, but this one was... not trivial, but definitely not hard like I remember some of these being. We'll call it 50/50, huh, buddy? Okay, okay, 70/30 in Cornell's favor. Yikes.
If Golem is the "only" sympathetic character in the game by my estimations, Cornell maybe comes closest to being second... "maybe" because... his storyline completely ignores the basic foundation of his canonical (even though he'd once been declared non-canon and back to canon again later) character... anything! So... besides jumping at the chance to maul people, his story doesn't even reasonably exist, time rift malarkey or not.
Of course, I can't get into much in the way of details, seeing as how I've never had the pleasure (or not, as some people hail it as a terrible game, but I would beg to contest I've played and enjoyed much worse) of getting to play either of the N64 Castlevania games, least of all the second one... which apparently ALSO contains an enhanced remake of the first, so... where's our Virtual Console release, Konami? It's a sure thing, take my money already!

Stage 1: Aeon
Please stop, Cornell... a time rift and you being unable to return to human form... how do you figure those two are related?
Anyway, one of the peculiarities I've come to notice about AI responses to Cornell's moves is that they seem to think that he's open to counterattack just as his guard break howl shockwave attack ends... but if they wait that late, they'll miss the opening and leave him time to block. Or in Aeon's case, interrupt his extremely vulnerable Hyper Attack.
In general, howling for no reason is kinda risky... and while it's great at controlling space, it has a lot of startup and recovery lag built in, so any reasonable opponent will probably make you regret it. But the AI is hardly reasonable. A weird side note on it, it doesn't actually knock back radially like it projects... it pushes people towards the direction Cornell's facing, meaning if you manage to hit someone while they're behind you, you'll get the full number of hits without needing to back them against a wall.

Stage 4: Sypha Belnades
If anyone deserves the question of whether or not they can match the speed of a wolf, it's probably Sypha. Well, the Golem before that, but Sypha's attacks aren't particularly quick to activate and leave her open for just slightly shorter a period of time than you would think. Just be careful you don't think you're invincibly fast, because you'll run straight into a projectile.
---
Stage 6: Mermen and Iron Gladiator
Cornell's moves are somewhat less effective against non-player enemies, I find... they don't get comboed as effectively and even the mermen don't really flinch in ways that you might have grown accustomed to. Therefore, it's key to use your best space-controlling and hit-and-run tactics.
---
Stage 7: Carmilla
What's with all these stories having reciprocated and mutually exclusive fated encounters? Just to drive home how even though they can't all have happened together, but Aeon keeps gathering Soul Keys, thus making it (somewhat?) clear that we're engaged in some manner of temporal paradox. What on earth is that Aeon up to?
Fast opponents like Carmilla and Grant still have big holes in their playstyles and simply can't keep up offensively with Cornell. Just make sure you don't keep attacking blindly until they finally just guard themselves and actually look for the opening they'll need to get in a hit.
---
Stage 10: Death
Huh, weird question to ask, isn't it, Death? What have you to gain from a lie... followed immediately by what you would gain if your lie would serve to get Cornell to go peaceably with you. Hmm! That's a real puzzler!
As I feel like I mention a lot, Death's strong suit is at mid-to-long range, but the AI players almost invariably try to close the gap and rush down opponents. So, in effect, trying to maintain your distance will only help him out. So... just don't be so careful, okay? Don't let up on the pressure! It's generally a rule for effectively using Cornell anyway, just more so than usual for Death.

Clearing Story Mode as Cornell AND the Golem unlocks Trevor's story.
By finishing all the stories progressively emerging from both Simon's and Alucard's stories, we can continue our story mode progress.
Y'know, the reason why Cornell stuck in beast form is actually explained. When he was pulled into the Time Rift, he became stuck in beast form because he was pulled from a point in time where he had no control over his changes and the Time Rift made it all unstable.
I always thought that he was already in his beast form when he was pulled in.
like, he already had complete control, but just happens to have been pulled in while in beast form
...Heh. I get it. Sypha said Death was his only salvation, so he tries to find Death.

😅😅😅 XD
Transcending history and the world. A tale of Souls and Swords, eternally retold.
wished we seen more of Cornell in other castlevania games
Rodger Brown
Same here
Rodger Brown What an awesome character! Why isn’t he in more???
Same
He probably will add in Grimoire of Souls.
@@zerofichas6963 But the thing is Cornell is from the alternate timeline just like Sonia Belmont isn't a part of the main timeline.
Cornell looks so AWESOME!
ANYONE WHO PLAYED LEGACY OF DARKNESS,THIS IS CORNELL WITH HIS ARMOR
Lazuardi Aldi really? His story did sound familiar, but how can you be sure? Please give me info and proof!
I didn't know Cornell had armor.
Judgement seems... somewhat more likeable than I remember. I like that it’s a fighting game with traps and minor enemies, and some of the character designs are genuinely pretty cool (Cornell especially). It’s also neat that a pretty underdeveloped character like him is still remembered for his undying loyalty to his adopted sister, Ada. Lords of Shadows really mucked all that up for a cliche werewolf villain.
This game could be done right with some minor tweaking, namely with more interesting combos and better voice acting. Too bad Konami virtually slaughtered the series...
Oh my ! Very badass ! I want to see such a character in the new Mortal Kombat games! Not specifically Cornell, or Sabrewulf, or Yugo, but a specific werewolf in the world of Mortal Kombat ! 😍🐺
Am I the one who always chuckles because Cornell howls?
Oullllllllllllllllllllllllllll!
Cornell is the greatest character from this franchise
Your description on these is incredibly valuable and well-researched! Thanks for these videos! Cornell is sadly about the only character in the game that looks better than their real counterpart. Everyone else looks just plain wrong.
The only badass design in Judgement.
Cornell is bad ass, man!
"An after image 😏"
"I beg your pardon?"
who else wants to see Cornell VS SabreWulf!?
+Rougamaru theres an idea! =D
*superhero transition*
awoo *nuzzles* :3
kill me, I'm not sorry for what I've done
I really like that tho XD lmao
You're not the only one to muse over what could be in fighting games. Possible crossovers, movesets, Easter egg details, you name it. Its a fun little trip down "what could be."
God i love cornel
I want this on the SWITCH!
With improvements
Man, Lance really liked that poison.
I'm not as well versed in the Castlevania franchise as I'd like to be, but I always love cross overs. Though, with Lords of Shadows resembling a reboot, I have to wonder if such a thing will ever happen again. Who can say?
Death? Lie? Naw...he seems trustworthy.
Ah wooooooo.......
Cornell talks like Leomon
Because it's voice by Paul St. Peter
Yeah
And Xemnas too
Nintendorak Yamato WHAT!! CORNELL IS XEMNAS!!!
Lazuardi Aldi yep.
They share the same voice
@@nintendorakyamato1859 I was just thinking that!!
All these years later and I only forgot about two characters, one of whom was Cornell. Out of all the characters I find him the most one-note, and in this game that's saying something. Honestly there's so little to say that I spent a minute debating whether to even make a comment, but I figured there's no point in stopping now. Maybe next time for the werewolf.
Aeon is so creepy
I actually meant Grant...I have no idea why I said Lance. I must have been elsewhere...
I heard quite a bit of fan outcry over some depictions here, which is a shame. I'll have to make my way through this series on your channel some time soon (among some others).
Castlevania N64 used to be scarier, since 2000 the Castlevania games they look more like an adventure game!!!!
I feel like Cornell can weird more power being a werewolf.
To be honest...alucard made me believe for one moment that he was sephiroth from FF.
why didnt they put hector? they put those damn belmont boyscouts and not him.everyoe forgets about hector
Ikr. And also Leon
Everyone, your forgetting the obvious choice. Julius Belmont, STEP DOWN CHUCK NORRIS THIS IS A MAN!!!
Pfft... no Nathan Graves. Where is my main man from circle of the moon?
The Netflix series didn’t- he’ll be in season 2
The Devil Forgemasters were at least referenced in Trevor's ending.
Sooo cool the english voice acting is so cheesy you could make nachos with it
WHY DID THEY MAKE THIS GAME MATURE, it was such a needless ruin of a game that could have been great!
Mature for camilla, mostly. Plenty of cleavage, most of her rump exposed, and overal behavior. Also cornell can bite necks and cause damage/death.
