Shout out to this thing you can do in games with a fixed jump arc

I don't think 1 lets you turn in mid-air like this, but Bloodlines and Rondo do, probably some of the other later ones. Also like the entire Ghosts n Goblins series

Like you said, You can't do a mid-air turn in CV1 but I can sometimes do a backwards jump I call a "retreating jump" that accomplishes the same thing. I just can't do it reliably. 😮‍💨

I was playing the original with my son last week and we did it on accident a few times and I was like "man if you could master that..." Would be really helpful vs Death

Yeah, usually when it comes to the Death fight I use triple-shot crosses if I want a fight or triple-shot holy water if I'm not in the mood. 💀

I don't think you can turn around in midair, but you *can* jump backwards. useful for a retreating attack.
