Blind Man fights off the forces of darkness
What is darkness to a blind man?
Floridaman has problem with this. More at 11.
One cannot fear the darkness of they were born into it.
A man who embraces darkness is never without sight.
More at 11
This man could still play this game if he went blind.
What is a man? A miserable little pile of blindness.
Cynical Sheep he could develop video games for the blind
Even though he messed up a few times in the run this is extremely impressive still. Like not only did he beat the game blindfolded, but he got the glitches while not seeing anything either. Sick run.
Honestly the mistakes and subsequent recoveries made the run more enjoyable (and believable if you are a cynic I'd wager :p) :)
Technically it is more impressive to finish a run where he messes up from time to time. In a perfect run it would "just" be following a set button sequence with the right time intervals (sounds super easy, right?). In this he had to visualize the stage, deduce his position *and* enter button sequences with the right time interval. It really shows how well he knows the game.
yea the perfect placement you need for some of these glitches is crazy but tbh it's all muscle memory tho even if he did a few mistakes it is crazy good i mean he was blindfolded 99% of us would be stuck at the beginning for a year lmao
Richter: Die Monster
Dracula: Uh... Belmont?
R: You don’t bel-
D: Belmont...
R: WHAT!?
D: That’s a candle.
he can teach someone a glitch within mere minutes. are you really that amazed?
Menuvania: Lapis Lazuli of the Night
TheKiss I was expecting a bigger reaction when he heard lapis was unequip
Imagine having to rely entirely on audio and still doing commentary.
43:18 you can see the right most person on the couch dying as he switched the frankfurter for the alucard sword
This is like Alucard's perspective in bat form.
that's funny, but bats actually see just fine
I..... SEE what you did there.
WHAT IS A MAN!??! Really... because I'm blindfolded....
@@RydiasRevenge "wherever you are?"
"But enough talk... HAVE AT YOU!" *blindfolded Drac furiously attacks pillar*
Well, keep on feeling for clues, and, if you do it for long enough- the _man_ will be the one that has a pointy bit about half way down.
I'll do you one better! WHY is the man??
This had to be fun for romscout to watch after having played it and seeing all the things that happened while he was blind.
43:15 You can see the audience try to hold back gasps as he switches the items and dooms himself.
WOW... Romscout plays better blindfolded than I play normally!!
I think the game was harder on the Couch Commenters than the actuall runner lol.
Especially at the part where he almost died from the sniper in the church.
the agony they display when they have to hold their tongue during a mistake, knowing it's going to blow up later...
yeah they cant say much and thats probably gonna be a bit nerve wracking
He might have gone over estimate, but he finished SOTN blindfolded, and that's impressive no matter the time taken.
THIS IS SOME HIGHER LEVEL OF DEVOTION TO A GAME
This game is worth it.
The world finally knows that Romscout's powers come from his Pusheen sleeping mask.
I was actually more scared watching him battle the menu.
Romscout runs are always SUCH a disaster but they always work out... somehow. lol
He's hilarious and fun; watched 4 of his vid runs and just, you know, ♥ XD
That fairy must be questioning her master oh so much, watching in silent observation...
haha
1:16:00 He almost died to that sniper, you can see the reaction of the men in the couch jaja
Arguably one of the best Castlevania series ever created. Had this game on PS1 and absolutely loved it. Its complexity in all the different items and equipment, the music, voices, sprite animation, graphics, storyline, controls and gameplay: all this rolled into one beautifully executed game. And when you think you're finished with the game? Nope! Gotta now play the castle inverted.
Played the game a lot since June 2020. Fantastic game and I have no nostalgia for it.
@@bobo577 yeah, it aged very well, I played it recently too
I'll never understand how people can do this it's really amazing.
Runner introduction starts at 0:37.
Run starts at 2:04.
Is this a joke or can people really don't wait for 2 minutes anymore?
Romscout playing, Klaige commentating, Big Jon announcing. It's the holy trinity
This whole video gave my anxiety of the highest order
Playing this game blindfolded is impressive and all, but half the reason to play is the amazing art!
This is absolutely amazing. Bravo
Mad RESPECT! Mistakes or not that is absolutely jaw dropping to see done blindfolded.
36:54 The beginning of a struggle
41:38 Overcoming it
He did the thing!!!!
He did the thing? *Waow*
Lolol, I just play my video games.... Ridiculous
That was nuts, dude. A few hangups but all around an amazing run.
Even games I know like the back of my hand I could never do without my eyes, amazing run.
I was like WHY IS HE TAKING SO LONG!!! I didn't realize my dude is blindfolded... WOW. Amazingly talented.
Says BLINDFOLDED in the title. 🥴😆
This was bloody amazing.
The Daredevil of video games...
Saw this live, it was insane. I think he just gave everyone watching an anxiety disorder.

Minoru Leonardo I congratulate you sir for putting in all this work for the rest of us
Minoru Leonardo hey you sure are dedicated ! You’ve done this for like every PLC-a-thon and probably other plc runs. Just wanted to say I appreciate the effort :)
Thank you! ^^
Love that game so much. Thx for that great run !
My brain is melting from how precise this is
Mad impressive. He gets help one time when he goofs up the menus, but even still ... incredible stuff.
amazing work
what if alucard was actually acting like this in the game
and he got to the final boss and its just so confused because here's this vampire moving really weird but still kicking his butt why is this happening
Absolutely ridiculous!!!!
Gotta love this run
This is absolutely insane
This could be way better if romscout had a footswitch activated soundboard with the alucard "What?" soundbite to use when he gets lost. But pretty amazing nonetheless.
Empressive..nicely done.
Fantastic Job!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
That was impressive as hell! Great run!
we spent almost 8 hrs approx to finish and complete the game and rom finished it on 1hr 23mins? BLINDFOLDED 🤣🤣 truely my childhood ruined but to see this man 🤣🤣its awesome
Part of me is like, 'Man, he is making lots of mistakes for a GDQ run,' while the other part of me is like 'YO HE AIN'T USIN' HIS EYES AT ALL, DAWG.'
Incredible.
THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!! maan i take much longer finishing htis game with eyes :P
Really unbelivable..well done man ..
The shop, man... Every damn time, I love you ROM lolol
Obese earth woodlice baby : )
Damn that was amazing
that´s insane!
I didn't see this one coming.
Neither did he.
Que "Last Surprise" from Persona 5
I see what you did there
this dude is a straight savage RESPECT
This...this is epic
Amazing.
Very Cool run!
That was very impressive and entertaining for someone who's played that game very casually. Good job man!
Another blind SOTN run with Romscout? Fuck yeah!
I have not watched this yet but the title just made me gasp. Did he really just do an hour and a half speedrun blindfolded?
This along with RunnerGuy Ocarina of Time Blindfold is amazing
No the title is a lie
yes
What a legend
BIG JOOON!
The mistakes he did actually shows how difficult to beat this game blindfolded. I’m amazed how he exactly knows his position by just listening to the game’s sound cues. I wonder how much time and dedication he spent to learn how to beat this game without seeing the screen. 👏🏻👏🏻
back at it again with the B L I N D R U N
In-bloody-credible
The heart refresh icon looks like a blond sailor with a red nose and a majestic moustache
To me, it looked like a very wrinkly depressed clown
Holy hell that's insane.
Truly big brain time
This was the first game I ever got realy into ad a kid I think I was 4 or 5 it’s crazy to see shit like this lmao
I wouldn’t be able to watch the inventory management in person. The dramatic irony is too strong and I wouldn’t be able to keep my mouth shut. Every time he moved nothing into nothing when he was explaining that he was actually trying to move something else in just like “oh god oh fuck his inventory is going pear shaped”.
You’re my favorite castlevania runner!
Bird box just got real
Alucard is like a blind moonwalking vampire
Pretty cool
GG
That's fucking insane honestly.
Woah !
I would be waaaay too anxious plying this blindfolded in front of people that doesn’t give me any clue of how I am doing 🤣
Big jon best announcer
this shit is impressive
Messes up because he was talking and almost messes up in the same place because he was talking.
Need my eyes watching this video.
Can't watch this blindfolded.
Ridiculous skills
Richters headband fell down onto his face
1:19:10
I WAS SCREAMING SO BAD, THOSE AZAGHAL CAN ONE SHOT YOU OMG DUDE
ROM my man for more challenge next time please do all boss normal castle blindfolded man
Is there any specific reason Xbox 360 version of SOTN is being used?
@@miguelaviles3637 I just fired up my X360 version and indeed the game is a lot smoother. But unfortunately I am not a big fan of the dpad on Xbox 360. Do most runners use the standard Xbox 360 controller?
Probably for how consistent the emulation is. The ps1 version lags on certain spots. I imagine this it's much more detrimental when you're relying only on sound and timing.
@@changwanchoe Thankfully PS4 version is probably smoother now (I don't own it yet tho), 360 dpad is indeed rough for spells, though PS1 to 3 dpads are actually still better.
his blindfold
was bongo cat
43:15 Top 10 moments before disaster happen.
Oh, so this happened. I guess I'll veg out watching GDQ for a third week this year. Edit: Would watching this at 2x count as speedrunning a speedrun?
William Shreckengost Absolutely
blind runna samurai
watching the couch was so funny lol great job with the run :D
Edit: are they still uploading runs from this? I saw dark souls 3 on the tracker thing at the bottom but haven't seen the upload for it D:
This was an entertaining dumpster fire.
What the X means from GDQx?
So, how exactly do you play a game blindfolded? Does it boil down to extended, sequential knowledge of button presses? That would be fooking wild to memorize.
Additionally, how do you know what enemies and bosses are doing if you can't see move telegraphs?
Years and years ago an actual blind person wanted me to help them beat Circle Of The Moon (because I had written a guide for it on GameFAQs). Using Nathan's slide as a frame of reference for movement, I managed to help the person get past the first three bosses. Lost contact after that so I'm not sure if he got someone else to help him or if he gave up.
Amazing! I love this game next lets see a one handed run! or a 5 year old play this game coached.... or wearing boxing gloves! I would watch every single run you do of this game
The runner Half-coordinated does one handed runs.
