Julius Mode

When you defeat Aria of Sorrow, you can enter the name JULIUS in the name selection screen. This will allow you to play as Julius Belmont.
Julius has no ability to level up, or gain weapons, armor or such, but he comes with Soma's High Jump, Double Jump, and Slide Kick abilities. Julius also has his standard Vampire Killer Whip, as well as his sub-weapons to use. The nice thing about the sub-weapons is you do not ahve to find them. You can select your desired sub-weapon by pressing the Left trigger. They will consume MP, instead of hearts. Hearts in this version replenish lost MP. (Yea, a little backwards there). Julius is a bit faster than Soma, but his stats seem a bit lower. Each boss he defeats will increase all of his stats, so rather than just go from beginnign straight to the final fight, I suggest goign through the entire game, defeating all the bosses, before fighting Graham.
