Optimal
Notes:
- Hold the jump button to prevent Simon from moving while whipping diagonally
 - At 1:04 to 1:05 you can hear the transition from the dying noise to none, this is the cue to jump three times (2 in place and 1 forward)
 
Jay_Cee Death Strat
Boss: Dracula
Optimal
Notes:
- A standard clean fight with good spawns will be average around 6 (best) to 7 cycles.
 
Insanely Optimal
5 Cycle Dracula
Notes:
- 5 cycle is not that easy to pull off!! It requires knowledge of diagonal whip cancels and good spawns.
 - This method with the diagonal whip works well since it is easy to release one of the directions to cancel the whip.
 - To get a 5 cycle you are required to get 6 whips in for one cycle.
