@@spoongrman Tool Assisted Speedrun. Tl;dr: Tools outside the game are used to create a demonstration of a speedrun that is technically possible, but not necessarily feasible for a person to pull off. The most common sort of TAS has the creator picking exactly what input is given on exactly which frame. This allows a TAS to be 'perfect' - it never has to play safe, it does all the hardest skips and tricks first try, etc etc. Blue has some videos showing off various TASes, I'd recommend giving them a look if you're interested.
this guy can do watcher knights with close to no equipment and on 1.3x speed i cant even do it with pure nail, nearly all charms, 8 masks and all three upgraded spells (edit: and shade cloak) this is so depressing
Can’t wait for the next video where you do Any% NMG but time slows down every 3 minutes. Until you’re fighting THK in a matrix style slow motion battle!!
it's kinda crazy how even the SLIGHTEST increase in speed can make the whole game feel weird and off-putting XD that's what happens after hundreds (thousands for others) of hours in the game at normal pace.
I restarted watching hollow knight content and after watching like a hundred speedrun videos by you, skurry and Fire I decided to try some of my own and now I'm addicted. I blame y'all for how much fun I'm having and wish you a very great year. (also, thank y'all for reinspiring me to play HK, I got very upset at flower quest XD) editing to add: I completed everything except the steel soul achievements and pantheon of Hollownest now. thank you :)
@@xenongd6974 good luck to you as well! and maybe you should just try it, you might do better than you expected! and on the off chance you don't do better, that's fine as well. you can practice what you don't do well on! it's what I'm doing lol
@@xenongd6974 The practice in godhome is pretty nice and I'll let you in on a secret when I first did it, I got to absrad in p5 (got demolished immediately but got to her) and then I had debug and infinite hp on, infinite hp gives you feedback and I spent all the time just dodging her hits without attacking her and only made it go to the next phase when I felt ready for it.
Have been slowly falling out of the hk fandom, I have practically stopped all other hk channels but yours is the one video I will not miss, live the content!
The reaction to base speed after having it on 1.7 is what it feels like when I start playing hollow knight after a month long period of only playing celeste
Watching this video is real weird because although I've played Hollow Knight, I mostly watch videos and I watch videos at 1.25 or 1.5 speed So the speed up doesn't look too impactful for me but I know it must feel really strange
My retention time on this is going to be incredible. This it better than the sped up subway surfers gameplay on shorts. They're gonna need to put medical restrictions on this content, it's simply too powerful
I feel like that's what the hollow knight difficulty should actually have been like. Was so gutted when I did my casual playthrough and I beat him at like my 3rd attempt
this is what a speedrun seems like to a normal player
I can confirm.
as a normal player I can also confirm.
What is today’s percentage?
@@fragheti1785 0.8771%

The watcher knights fight was a good representation of how it feels to fight bosses in your very first playthrough.
The first thk attempt where hes just praying for a stagger is exactly how i play the game
I was gonna say this lol
Quick Slash, Quick Focus, Dream Wielder, Sprintmaster, and Dashmaster lookin kinda weird.
You forgor sprint master
shield would be moving lightspeed xD
2:07 "we're just gonna do it on the fly" *pogos on the fly*
Now do it starting at 2x speed and you lose 0.10 speed every 3 minutes 👀
this is a good idea (if it can go below 1)
@@U20E0 it can

You have a hour to beat it 👀 ((90+93/168+387k/46189)min in game time (gosh i love math))
@@endernightblade1958 doesn't eta stand for estimated time of arrival
this challenge took blue's time perception, tossed it in a blender, and made it into smoothie.
THK at 2x speed is totally doable - even hitless. As long as your initials are TAS
Yes then i can do it cuz my name is tactical ass-smasher
TAS?

Slowing down the video as it went on really made blue look like he was descending into insanity.
you really spent two hours watching this
The 1hp watcher knights gave me more stress than anything I’ve ever seen
YES ANOTHER Blue video!!
well well well, look who it is ('ello lad)
YES
IT'S A WILD WIMBDY
This is the only Blue can actually put "speed"run in his streams and it actually be true.
LMFAO WHY IS THIS ACTUALLY TRUE
nahhhhhh cant do blue like that 💀
alr, now I NEED to see that crystal peak route done at 2.5x speed, that would be nuts, if even possible at all

Same 😫
The first time someone talked to Elderbug without talking to him, does this still make the run valid?
Schrodinger's Elderbug
@@sparkcircuit7029 When unobserved, Elderbug simultaneously has the flower and doesn't have it.
1.4 is what it feels like playing anything while having way too many drinks
If the timescale is faster the sooner we get silksong!
so that didnt help

Hollow Knight: Made in Heaven
This was truly the zoomiest run ive ever seen lmaoo
Can’t wait for the next video where you do Any% NMG but time slows down every 3 minutes. Until you’re fighting THK in a matrix style slow motion battle!!
That hornet fight was so stressful and yet so sick
This is how hard I thought the hollow knight was going to be when I started playing hollow knight
No longer a speedrun this is a speedsprint
You’re honestly the most underrated RUclipsr! I don’t understand how you dont have 1 million subscribers already!
Because it’s not a mainstream game and he doesn’t upload much.
Because the game isn't that popular?
HIGHLY AGREE
Because not everyone plays HK

This is crazy Oo (Also you start sounding like the Collector after a while which seems like a valid reaction to this madness ^^b)
Lol 112 run next where timescale increases with every boss. Honestly could have interesting routing to fight hard stuff earlier

Damn the knight achieved heaven uh oh
And that is why I am nominating Blue for the our Triforce of Courage sacrifice.
*Ends presentation*
22:12 that might the fastest THK death ever 😂
this video plays like one of those "you didnt have to cut me off" lore memes

8:35
You’re fired…
And under arrest
Holy shit. Actually some insane gamer skills. That Crystal Peak Segment I had to watch twice
Hollow Knight is what it feels like to fight it for the first time
What a fun video to watch! Haha great stuff, Blue!
The hollow knight just seems like an even harder pure vessel
As a 2x watcher, this was especially entertaining to watch people enter my domain
Damn man, retrying is the pinacle of determination. I would be devestated. Insane
22:59 hollow knight but harder than Pure Vessel
Sounds like a fun challenge, put the hollow knight on crack.
yooooo this was so crazy!! incredible, thank u for this 🛐
Thk with 1.75 speed is like Pv on shawblades
"Hollow Knight speedrun, but every time I deal damage the video gets 1% faster."
RUclipsr actually gets videos out fast and consistent no way
Eight videos in a year is "fast and consistent"?
@@perlundgren7797 best upload schedule
19:43 "imagine dying to petra arena" :) ,called it
“i need more souls”….*drowns*…”great start”👁️👄👁️
this is basically watching the normal nail turn into quickslash on its own :D
Cant believe blue tried to obtain heaven (jojo reference)
Didn’t know Mustache Girl got into Hallownest
bro think he made in heaven
Hey blue, that's what hollowknight bosses feel like when I fight them.
jojo part 6 made in heaven
When you are at hollow knight but there is half the video left
When you killed Umu for a second time (in the video) i wanted to scream at you to dab, but thankfully you remembered
40:10 practicing for pure vessel
My retention time on this is going to be incredible. This it better than the sped up subway surfers gameplay on shorts. They're gonna need to put medical restrictions on this content, it's simply too powerful
WOAH, THAT IS SUCH A WACKY AND SILLY CHALLANGE, YOU HAVE TRULY EXCEEDED SILLYNESS THAT IS POSSIBLE BY MERE MORTALS, AND YOU HAVE ASCENDED.
Your Crystal Peaks were *so clean* tho. Congrats : D
"on the fly" he says as he literally jumps on the fly ❤ blue
Bro gave us the cleanest transition into salubras shop
21:37 well he certainly wished you luck
Imagine NKG on 3 timescale speed
Hollow knight but you are the hollow knight and sleep for 100 years till a knight wakes you up and kills you :(
Using quick slash at home be like:
i watched this whole video on 2x speed and it was certainly an experience lmao
the same is true for watching at 0.75 / 0.5 speed such that you mostly undo the speed-up
I need to see what nkg and abs rad look like with this mod.
I feel like that's what the hollow knight difficulty should actually have been like. Was so gutted when I did my casual playthrough and I beat him at like my 3rd attempt
I mean he IS a mindless zombie operating on pure muscle memory
That clean ass crystal peeks 😂😂
21:41 i’m shedding tears
Honestly, it'd be cool to see a speedrun category with increased speed.
this gets crazy by the end
just the title made me exhale nervously
I often watch videos at 1.5x or 2x speed, so this actually didn't feel odd for me to watch at all.
Shoutout to MoistSucculantPyro at 20:32 for that BANGER idea in chat
now true ending with 1% speed boost every 2 minutes
This is the one time I saw someone scared of THK's 4th phase
crystal peak was fucking insane
watching this on 1.5 speed is fun
he is so good and so bad simultaneously thats its hilarious
Now imagine doing NKG or Radiance with this speed 🤣
I feel insufficient now. I struggle to bear THK with 94+ completion
In the spirit of the challenge I watched this video on 2x playback speed
nah u were GAMING at crystal peak
i’m what is commonly referred as a psychopath (i watch everything at a 2x speed), so this was watchable for me.
"no mistakes"
[makes a bunch of mistakes]
15:15 you sure? Because that looked cleaner than I have ever seen..
Now do this with an item randomiser
Every creature you kill increases 0.01
Dude 2x speed nail with quick slash 👀
22:11 Literally Pure Vessel
Damn. This blue my mind
I saw 2.0 in the thumbnail and got Vietnam flashbacks.☠
Now for 112% but the time increases every ten minutes
Sick video, god gamer
Get wings Makes it ez plus i love the vide
pv has nothing over the true true hollow knight... no dab, no legit
New blue video :D
