Dracula
X: Rondo of Blood

. |
Though Dracula's look is cosmetically different
from the one seen in Castlevania: Dracula X, he's the very same fighter.
You know the drill: Dracula will teleport all about the castle keep throne
room and in between release his three-directional fireballs. Though, he's
added to the mix a new projectile attack: After every fourth teleport, he'll
unleash two large pulsating orbs--the first high, the second low--that rev
up and blast in your direction. You shouldn't have too much trouble telegraphing
either attack and forcing the Dracula to adopt a more interesting form.
Though more fearsome-looking, his second form
is hardly the threat it appears to be. If anything, it spends most of its
time aimlessly jumping about. But don't be fooled--if not in timely fashion
dealt with, it can corner you on either side of the room and score
some crushing blows. After every third jump, he'll spit in out three huge
balls of flame in three directions albeit not in your general direction.
After a number of jumps thereafter, it'll gather itself into a corner and
unleash across the way a wide scrolling blast that can only be crouched
beneath (if you don't want your energy to go bye-bye). The only true
danger is direct contact when you try to run beneath the demon, but, even
then, you should be more than equipped to quickly finish this thing off,
especially if you have a boomerang in hand.
