Entirely agreed, why in the world did they ever drop it...
Bloodlines was like a cruel joke, one character can attack diagonally while jumping but not while on the ground, and the other can attack diagonally while on the ground but now while jumping. Jerks.
In Rondo of Blood (TGCD) you can't attack diagonally, but at least as Maria she can attack fast and the birds come back at an angle, so you can hit enemies that you wouldn't hit with a standard whip attack. Maria makes that game so easy, play RoB with Maria and then with Richter and there's a huge jump in difficulty going from the one to the other... it's so much fun with her, with the double jump and powerful attack. With Richter it's a harder and much less fun game, in my opinion, but might be worth it for the increased difficulty. I mostly just play as Maria though...
Oh, RoB is on Virtual Console now. Get it, now!
