I know little to nothing on Castlevania but this sounds interesting. Anything to refute it?

You should Message Matt about this.

Heh, I was just reading that. Anyway, I known Castlevania first games power, not going to argue with or against those arguments; just following.

Quickly reading though this, it seems their argument mainly revolve around using low feats to try to disprove higher ones...

Yeah Matt would be best for this

 

[The_2nd_Existential_Seed]

Agreed. He's the best at Castlevania Scaling and knowledge ( Did you even SEE that respect thread ? )

Completely bullshit and filled to the brim with lies and double standards.

• Says that Time Stop is just a time slow
• Uses the Sky Fish, the only enemy in Aria of Sorrow to be slowed down rather than frozen by the time stop, or completely ignore it, as an argument
• Ignoring that this is because the Sky Fish is just that damn fast

• Says we know nothing about Chaos
• When it is stated to be the embodiment and origin of all evil and chaotic things and the equal opposite to God, who created the universe / multiverse
• and when Chaos dies the Chaotic Realm explodes

• Completely ignore Brauner's Portrait Dimensions which are stated to be "Multi-layer Quantum Spaces"
• And which are created by a weaker Brauner and only exist to draw the greater power of Dracula's castle
• Also ignores Dracula and Death's blatant Reality Warping and Dimension Creation feats, one of which has a super-massive black hole eating stars

• Says that Judgment is non-canon
• Using a line that states that it doesn't consider timelines because it gathers characters from all over the series, ignoring context
• Also ignores that IGA uses the Time Watcher concept from Judgment and applies it to St. Germain who appears in undoubtedly canon games

• Says the Time Reaper is unquantifiable
• When it is stated to be destroying the very fabric of time
• Also ignores Aeon's Universal creation

• Says that Dracula / Demon King doesn't empower the Abyss but rather rules it
• Ignoring that Dracula is never a political leader of demons in the series and the Abyss outright collapses in the end of the game when they fail to establish a new Demon King

• Says that only a part of the Abyss collapsed
• When the Demon who empowers it is killed, they never specify that only a part is, they are 7 - 8 pocket dimensions away from the Abyss' entrance, and the Castle whose existence was supported by the Abyss collapses too

• Says that the Abyss didn't collapse because it is required to power Olrok's castle in the sequel novel
• Except he didn't read the novel and doesn't know that the castle is made from a small portion of Dracula's power which leaked off the Solar Eclipse, not the Abyss
• Also ignores that the whole point about Castlevania is that as long as humans have Chaos in their hearts, things such as demons, the demon world, and the demon king will always exist, as they are a necessary part of the universe to contrast God's goodness

• Says that Dracula's Castle doesn't contain Infinite Zombies
• Using a statement referring to Olrok's bootleg castle which refers to the number of corpses in his throne room, not the whole castle
• also completely ignore that Dracula's Castle isn't a building but an alternate dimension made of pure Chaos with non-euclidean architecture and which is bigger on the inside

• Says that Castlevania is a low-level setting confined to Earth
• Ignoring that it has aliens, Time Travelers, Gods, Abstracts / Personifications, Heaven & Hell, parallel dimensions, etc

• Ignores dozens of spells / weapons that are laser / light / plasma based and uses game-mechanics like a handgun to say they are subsonic
• Outright omits feats and lies about virtually everything

• Never heard of the concept of AoE to say that the Belmonts are Wall level
• Also hilariously mixes up Trevor Belmont from the Netflix Anime with the Videogame Trevor

Overall, absolutely nothing worth it.

Castlevania Downplay comes entirely through Argument from Incredulity from people who can't accept that a series about Vampires can be so powerful. These people hardly research the series. If they did, they'd be aware that even as a fractured disembodied spirit, Dracula created a dimension with a Moon.

They are jelly of Multi-Universal Whipping and Wine Glasses
