the belmonts are comprised of strippers user

Because a whip is fucking dangerous fren. Plus it keeps vampires at range and if anything gets to close he has the sword.

Unique gameplay twist

if they collect a power up then their whip grows longer and turns into hard steel chains

vampires are inherently kinky and thus respect the whip

Sado-masochist fantasies

consistent ranged weapon VS something that must get in your face to kill you

hardware limitation

According to Lament of Innocence it's the only thing that can kill vampires because it was alchemically designed for that purpose.
But it doesn't explain why Alucard, Grant, Sypha, and Soma can do it with whatever the hell they want, so take it with a grain of salt.

Since it's more about the blessing the whip holds and not the physical damage it does, a whip is the perfect weapon because it's long range, fast and practically weightless. A Belmont is completely unhindered jumping around Dracula's castle.

Why use a weapon that can be faster than the speed of sound against vampires

Vs

????????

Geeman idk

Probably his fetish. Robot chicken had JCVD as dracula being dick whipped by a belmont.

>deadly enough to kill Dracula
>good range yet compact when rolled
>has utility outside combat for platforming and such
It's a good fucking weapon, man.

because this nigga needs mobility
have you seen dracula's castle?

Alucard is a vampire so he's just strong Sypha uses magic Soma is spoilers fuck if I know how Grant does it though

because the vampire killer was a whip

Because swords were too mainstream and they had to be contrarian faggots.

But why a whip? When they needed to alchemize a weapon for killing vamps, was a whip the only thing they had on hand?

Who cares nigga, shit is cool is all you need to know.

In CV3 I assumed Trevor was the one who canonly delivered the final blow, seeing as one of his leifmotifs in CoD is called "the man who destroyed Dracula" and in Judgement his short description says he was the one to kill Dracula
Of course in CoD Hector can kill Dracula with a frying pan but he was weak or something

I hope the meme that whips were actually useful weapons doesn't catch on

for wooblly-wobbly based attacks of course

Konami are Devo fans

why is the whip bad?

To make retards ask stupid questions

Distance is the way. But for that reason from 1900 Belmonts should use a gun. At that point the problem are the finite holy bullets.

Have scythes ever caught on? They're also shilled as a cool weapon in media

not sure why anyone would think that but they're top-tier fantasy weapons

Because he wants to make dracula his slave
