Introduction to SOTN Alucard Blindfolded Any% NSC

Because of the nature of this run, the sections have been broken up by save rooms. This has been done so that the route is easier to practice, and so that run-ending mistakes can be corrected during a run by loading the most recent save.

The primary challenges during a Blindfolded run are memorization, keeping track of where you are in a room and in the castle, and dealing with randomness in enemy patterns. The route detailed below (TODO) takes advantage of numerous sound cues and normalization setups to control for randomness as much as possible. There are still a few sections and tricks that require frame perfect or near-frame perfect inputs.

It is recommended that you practice each section of the route without a blindfold, but using the blindfolded moveset to get familiar with the section before you making an attempt with an actual blindfold.
