Brandish Whip

Some characters are able to brandish whips (most prominently the Vampire Killer). After the player has performed a standard attack, if the [ATTACK] button continues to be held, the whip will go limp. Moving the directional pad will cause the whip to limply move in that direction, causing a small amount of damage to foes or blocking projectiles. Brandishing the whip in a circle continuously can simulate a Whiplash attack.
==Game specific information==
===Super Castlevania IV===
Simon Belmont was the first character to be able to perform this move.
===Castlevania: Symphony of the Night===
Richter Belmont was first able to use this attack in Symphony of the Night and it has remained the norm rather than the exception in modern-style 2D games ever since.
===Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin===
Jonathan Morris gains this ability by acquiring the Whip Skill 1 relic, allowing any whip he wields to become limp and be controlled when the attack button is held down.
