n original Staff Member. Serio remains a part of the Chapel's operations, since being here from the start. He debuted humbly, but quickly grew into the online fanbase's leading ripper, and gained much prestige in the fan game circle for his Castlevania Fighting Game.
Patient and meticulous, Serio appreciates and gives quality work and nothing less than his best. When the Chapel needs rips, Serio is ready. From sprites, to videos, music, screenshots, and beyond, there isn't much that Serio can't rip
What drew you to Castlevania? What made you become a big fan of it?
Symphony of the Night. It was mostly the mood, atmosphere and music.
Around what year did you become a big Castlevania fan?
I don't remember anymore. 2003 or 4. Before that, I played Super Castlevania 4 on emulators but it wasn't until SotN that I got into it.
When and how did you discover the Chapel of Resonance, and what made you want to keep coming back to it?
I was there when it was first being planned.
What made you want to become a ripper for Chapel of Resonance?
Dunno', don't remember anymore, but again, I was among the first people when it was created.
How long have you been a serious ripper, and how did you start?
Long. For over 8 years now, and I think I started doing it when I got into Mugen. I needed sprites.
How long have you been homebrewing, and what inspired you to do that?
Same as before, since Mugen in a way is a tool to create homebrew fighting games.
What are your top 5 favorite Castlevania games in order?
Castlevania: Dracula X/Rondo of Blood (easiest to pick up and play)
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (atmosphere, though I usually finish after killing Richter)
Super Castlevania 4 (on my DS)
Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse (on my DS)
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (with the palette fixed and darkened the game has some great atmosphere)
Do you have any hobbies outside of video gaming?
I suppose I like to draw stuff.
What other video games or video game series do you enjoy besides Castlevania?
Touhou. Some more obscure 2-D fighters.
