That's.... not artificial challenge any more than limiting the height of a jump is artificial challenge, unless you think the ability to whip diagonally is the default (it's not). That'd be kind of like complaining about MM9 because you can't do all the fancy moves from MM6

To be honest, I kind of do think that the omissions from MM9 are also an artificial challenge. As to the inability to attack diagonally IS a fairly standard Castlevania move now: after IV, I believe every Castlevania game had the ability to do so if you equipped one item or another.

it's only artificial if you created the game with diagonal whipping in mind then took it out to make it harder.  This did not happen, and quite honestly the game isn't even that hard so I don't understand the complaining at all.  As others have said diagonal whipping is not standard, it was only in 1 game out of many.
