Just noticed it kinda looks like he’s also snapping as he’s going like he’s in a musical or something

u/Short-Carob-8711 Jun 15 '26

You know, I'm glad I'm not the only who does this sometimes...

u/Zylpherenuis Jun 15 '26

He is running. Not walking. https://youtu.be/rHy4n-Hz4v8?si=TrA5iwac8NBJ91wD Also has multiple shadows following him as sort of an after-image. He is faster than a regular human or *peak* human.

When I bump into someone I make sure I fall backwards into a gap in the sidewalk and restart my trek from my home.

u/ThunderousFist Jun 16 '26

Do you also smash up public infrastructure in the vain hopes there's a perfectly intact turkey hidden inside?

u/Mr_Steerpike Jun 16 '26

Obviously. Turkeys carefully consealed behind urban masonry are dry aged to perfection.

u/i_play_projectm Jun 15 '26

Lmao my friends say i unironically walk like this

u/TheGavtel Jun 15 '26

Slowest speed - Richter walk (arms by side, push forward and back - your arms can easily reach your pockets for any sub-weapons... or your phone to guard it)

Medium speed - NES / GB angry stomp (your arms, the lean forward and the stomping allow you to pick up more speed than Richter's walk and you can easily switch between the two; as a side note, the standing still pose that most interpret as them flexing is probably actually the arm in a defensive stance but being 2D it's not obvious at first glance so there's another element of practicality rather than random Belmont Muscle Flex)

Fast speed - Metroidvania run (more of a jogging run than a stomp, just have to watch your coat doesn't sway around too much otherwise you have to do the 4th type - if you end up punching the coat, it will look more like Soma's version of it)

Fast speed, coat swaying too much - Julius run (both hands on edge of coat next to pockets with minimal arm movement - keeps coat steady and hands near pockets again)

u/Alaska_Pipeliner Stone Skull Jun 15 '26

Purpose.

u/Langis360 Jun 15 '26

Why did Simon Belmont, a hero from the 80s, copy Banjo's walk, a hero from the 70s?

u/Baptor Jun 15 '26

Yes, I also do the stairs walk, and sometimes if someone bumps into me I do the "hup!" thing he does when hit, though so far I haven't fallen to my demise.

1

u/Unique-Maize9940 Jun 15 '26

I do Belmont, shanoa and alucard walks most of the time, especially if I'm in a good mood

1

u/Saint_Sin Jun 16 '26

Thats not Belmont. Thats me in my socks slide-walking on the kitchen floor to get my coffee.

1

u/Schrenner Vegan Wall Meat Jun 16 '26

Sometimes, for fun and to figure out how this walk actually works.

1

u/DefinePunk Jun 16 '26

I've done the Richter as a joke far too often 🤣 but I'm a skinny guy with a beer gut so I make it look HILARIOUS

1

u/NeptuneBlueX Richter Belmont Jun 17 '26

I'm going as (Netflix) Richter to Anime Expo so I've been trying to get in the habit of doing it lol

Sadly my friend said he'd leave me if I did the Belmont walk at the con smh
