Hey guys! Thanks for the support on this video! I figured I'd just clarify a few things about the moveset. - Crystal Dash works in the air, and has no hitbox. - Focus works in the air, but it takes twice as long (around 3ish seconds) for the charge to finish - After thinking about it, I agree that the Focus that's presented in the video does too much healing. I'd reduce it to about 10% per heal. - Yes, I know the Shade Lord or "The Void Given Focus" exists, but decided against using it because most people consider the "Dreams No More" ending to be the true ending and The Knight takes the "Void Given Form" in that ending. - I learned after making this video that The Knight actually has no gender! Sorry about that!
I have a question, I don’t know if I just missed it, but what was Up B? I feel really dumb and tried looking back around again I couldn’t find it, what was it?
@@taccarrowilson9342 did they I've never watched Cory in the house I just say it as a joke whenever someone talks about a reference anyways have a great day
He does fit in perfectly, but hollow knight doesn't have as big of a fandom as other characters that where added, byleth and min min have the excuse that they where Nintendo characters, if he does get in then I'll be really happy(even if it's just as a mii costume)
i love how when you try to use a spell with no soul the knight looks at you like "boy wyd” on another note, holy hell man! The amount of effort put into this is nuts!
This was essentially EXACTLY how I would do it, except if the knight has full soul, the next spell he uses would use two notches, and be upgraded to their shade version. Amazing video
The only thing I would change is the soul attacks. The specials can be charged. When fully charged, they turn into shade versions of themselves. It would definitely benefit the down special since the hit box is a lot larger (especially vertically), and it grants a lot of invincibility frames. When shade soul and descending are used instead of the normal specials, it will use two notches. Edit: I forgot about making it so they can do their jab and move at the same time like Mega Man and Steve.
@@furydrack This is just my pipe dream but I want BOTH of them to get in. Imagine the trailer for The Knight playing and then suddenly, a needle thread appears and Hornet zips right in and reveals to be ANOTHER playable character.
The only thing i would change would be for the Dash attack to be the Dash-Slash, make the neutral special the vengeful spirit, down special on the ground be focus, down special in the air be desolate dive, and the side special be sharp shadow dash
This really is a perfect representation for the knight. This knight even has a full charm load out: Thorns of Agony - 1 charm notch (neutral air) Defenders Crest - 1 charm notch (side taunt) Sharp Shadow - 2 charm notches (dash attack) Spell Twister - 2 charm notches (all spells cost less than a focus) Weaver Song - 2 charm notches (all throws and up taunt) Dream Shield - 3 charm notches (back air) When added together, the total charm notch cost is 11, the exact amount of charm notches the night has in the game after the Grimm update.
@@earthUSOA7705 yeah, but the downtilt is the shape of Unn, which is a charm costing 2 notches. I’m not calling you dumb or anything, I’m just pointing out a mistake.
@@folmhaigh039 Pale king was a Wyrm (all he did was shed his original form and take on an appearance similar to the bugs), at least that is what I remember. So he technically isn't a bug. The Vessels also probably would not be bugs for that matter.
@@icaruswindrune7116 you realize that wyrm was just what they were called, we even see the pale kings old form, which looked like a WORM which is still a bug, it was just a far too large one to inhabit something the bugs could use, the vessels however, are void inside a bugs shell, at the very least they are inhabiting a bug corpse, but no definitely not, their shell grows with them, if they were not a bug but instead 100% void the shells would not grow at all, ala: The Hollow Knight, the actual one not the player.
if you're playing with a single stock (or anything equivalent) the soul meter gains the steel soul look to it and have shade lord be the final smash, everything's the same but with shade lord for cool points
I think it would be cool if when the Knight gets past 75% of it’s health, the Vengeful Spirit/Desolate Dive/Howling Wraiths, transforms into Shade Soul/Descending Dark/Abyss Shriek.
I would just make so you you have to charge them. Howling Wraiths turns into Abyss Shriek once up smash is fully charged. Hold B for 3 or 4 seconds when you start a forward special to charge Vengeful Spirit into Shade Soul and after you've charged it you're free to move again(like DK) until you use forward special again at which point Shade Soul is released. Charging Shade soul could also turn Desolate Dive into Descending Dark, otherwise Idk how else you get Descending Dark.
That final smash truly is a work of art. One thing I would add is that if the Knight is above the 100% instakill threshold you mentioned, instead of the normal void entity emerging from the Knight's shell, the Knight would instead transform into the terrifying Shade Lord that appears when you defeat the Absolute Radiance in the Pantheon of Hallownest (it also makes sense because the Shade Lord straight up kills the Absolute Radiance instead of just letting the void pull her down like what happened with the normal Radiance).
I don't think that quite works, unfortunately, since that threshold is calculated _after_ the damage done by the final smash itself, not before, so triggering a different animation at the start isn't feasible.
Really great video here! Personally, I only thought of two alternatives; I thought the void tendrils could have been incorporated into one of his throws somehow, and that one of his taunts could have been the "CHALLENGE" pose that he strikes when facing the Mantis Lords and the Radiance. Other than that, this was really cool to watch. Even in a non-official form, the presentation was really well done and made it feel real.
Here are some ideas: Intro: The Knight teleports onto the stage via his Dream Nail, referencing the teleport animation when he enters a dream or traveling through Dreamgates. Victory screens: The Knight absorbs the essence similar to what he does to Hollow Knight and the Dreamers The Knight rests on the bench that acted as the Safe Havens and save points in the game The Knight swings his nail and ends with the "challenge" pose when fighting the Mantis Lords and the Radiance. His clapping animation... he doesn't clap, just stares like the emotionless thing he is. The skins are based on characters and themes of Hollow Knight: Red: Based on Hornet Green: Based on Greenpath/Queen's Garden Orange: Based on the Infection White: Based on the Pale King Bronze: Based on the Godseeker Black Red: Based on Grimm Pure Vessel: Mask changes to resemble the Pure Vessel The stage for Hollow Knight should be Godhome, where the environment and hazards will constantly be shift by Godseeker like in Godmaster. Classic Mode will be called Pantheon of Smash based on Pantheon of Hallownest, where the enemies will represent the bosses in the games like a Giant Metal Dedede representing False Knight. The ending picture will be based on the Knight sitting with a Swordfighter (maybe Marth) on a beach, referencing Quirrel at the Blue Lake.
@@ridori7376 Yeah, that works too. Although, I'm more for either Dream Nail teleportation or Falling from the sky as a reference to the intro of the game.
I have an interesting idea for the stage, so it's standard triplat, the setting is city of tears, crystal peak, and coliseum of fool's. City has normal platforms, the peak has platforms with spikes under that flip when something steps on em but can be hit to change back, and coliseum has platforms that fall on contact. The areas change randomly/on a set timer with the godseeker effect, and the initial stage is random. Maybe dependant on music? No hazards/battlefield randomly selects a variant that stays the same for the whole match (like one of the FE stages)
"Everyone only slashes with their nail" Mantis Lords, The Hollow Knight, and Hornet: Am I a joke to you? Edit: Forgot this comment existed, but finally got a notif bringing me back. Some enemies I forgot to mention were: Hive Knight, Markoth, and technically The Radiance, if you consider their horizontally/vertically moving projectiles as nails. Another clarification is that I'm specifically talking about nail users that do things other than slashing WITH THEIR NAILS. Spinning counts as slashing as you're just slashing in a circle. Hopefully that makes things clear :p
For the costumes, you could give them a red cloak as a reference to Hornet, The protector of Hallownest and the Knights half-sibling. A light grey cloak with orange eyes as a reference to The Hollow Knight, the Knights sibling and vessel for The Radiance. A frowning mouth and one slightly shorter horn as a reference to Invincible, Fearless, Sensual, Mysterious, Enchanting, Vigorous, Diligent, Overwhelming, Gorgeous, Passionate, Terrifying, Beautiful, Powerful Grey Prince Zote the strongest character in Hollow Knight. A pale brown cloak, white body and yellow eyes to represent The Radiance, the games main antagonist and the god(goddess? Idk) of dreams. A black cloak with a red body and a line going vertically through each eye to represent Troupe Master Grimm, the leader of The Grimm Troupe and vessel for The Nightmare Heart. A gold cloak, steel grey body and a gold shell to represent The Godseeker, who seeks to Attune to the gods of Hallownest (and also hijacks the entire plot) And finally pure black with very intricate horns and 8 white eyes to represent Bill/The Shade Lord, the final form of the Knight, taken on during the godmaster endings.
In my opinion: Hornet deserves her own character Pure Vessel deserves its own character Zote doesn't deserve anything better than a slow, painful death of dehydration, trapped in Deepnest. A Radiance, Godseeker, Bill or Grimm skin or character would be very out of place If there were to be skins for the Little Vessel they should be little changes. Stuff like the horn variations the siblings have.
I love how you essentially incorporated the soul management aspect of combat from hollow knight. A big part of the combat in the original game is about making the best use of your soul by deciding whether to focus, use a spell, or maybe get in a nail art when you have the opportunity. This would be a really cool feature if the knight was ever added to smash!
The knight is by far the most talked about and movement theorised moveset character i have seen for smash. I'm really hoping they get it. Edit: that intro was amazing
@@AshenDust_ I've been playing hollow knight for about 2 or 3 years now. I absolutely love the game. It ties with two other games for my most favorite game.
Hollow Knight is my favorite indie and one of my top 5 favorite games! I'm glad he did this animation. But, imagine if instead of the spiders in his throws, he would use Grimm's son.
The charms the knight was using: Sharp shadow (2), Shape of Unn (2), Thorns of agony (1), Dream shield (3) , Weaversong (2), and Defender's crest(1) . in total 11 charm notches, nice attention to detail about how many charms the play can have at once Edit: Nvm just found out it has spell twister
The fact you fully animated the entire movesets while explaining has earned you my respect. First time I actually found a "What If" video actually enjoyable.
I’ve enjoyed the “What If They Were in Smash” series by BrawlFan1 because he has solid visuals, usually drawings of the moves. Plus the writing is pretty good too. But this? This is a WHOLE new level of effort and polish.
@@andymcclurg9916 I don't think we really do concur. I enjoy BrawlFan1's content quite a lot. If you loathe his writing and jokes, I think you need to reassess your priorities. I do agree with you that AranOcean is better.
I think there was a slight missed opportunity to include Grimmchild and the Glowing Womb Hatchlings into his other throws instead of just the Weaverlings. Also, his entrance animation should be him rolling up his map and hopping off of a bench. Also also, City of Tears should be the stage. Perhaps based around the Hollow Knight memorial statue.
I love this!! I also adore the little detail of the knight readjusting their nail and coat after the great slash. I imagine other moves have something similar but it's so fast it's hard to tell! That amount of animation must have taken FOREVER. This is amazing
the knight uses the shade cloak and if it hits it will play an animation where void fills the screen then the character at the receiving end of the final smash turns back to see the shade lord standing there before slashing the screen
@@gabriel4350 I say Dreamnail is a better trigger(Accurate, still a lot of range if we’re making it like the original game’s Dreamnail range). The Knight’s mask breaking and releasing Shade Lord should get included as well
@@TheTrueBongoKnight Probably when it's on the last stock as steel soul is once you're dead, you don't come back. (Edit i missed the part where you said one stock. Nvm). But you did remind me that instead of smoke coming off the knight like any other fighter over 100%, it could be void particles.
I was anxiously waiting for the dreamnail to get introduced, i LOVE this moveset idea. But maybe with the spells, if you charge them up they become their stronger version. Shade Soul, Desending Dark, and Abyss Shriek
The intro is EXACTLY like I imagined the trailer for him. Also some moves are really unique and original compared to other similar videos. Then the animation, the sound design, THAT BEAUTIFUL FINAL SMASH... I rarely comment on anything, but you absolutely deserve it. Keep it up, man!
You're not crazy, I saw a lot of videos talking about custom characters move sets, never watched them, because they were just fantasizing, now onto your video, that I will actually watch right now
*No mind to think* *No will to break* *No voice to cry suffering* *Born of God and void* *You are the vessel* *You are the hollow knight* *You made an amazing job with the animation*
Here are some stages they could add: Colosseum of fools (it could have platforms moving during the fight like in the colosseum of fools) City of tears (could be in the area either the fountain and have the elevator on the left) And dirtmouth (just dirtmouth)
This is very well thought out! The fact you made all the animations and took inspiration from various charms and spells is great! The only thing that bothers me slightly is that the "notches" you use to indicate soul are health points in the original game. So someone well versed in HK could get confused very quickly about losing health
If steve, the terraforming master that was once a completely unknown game from mojang, can go in smash im pretty sure the knight has a pretty good chance... especially since team cherry is starting to have pretty good recognition from nintendo now
I keep coming back to this video because 1. You did an amazing job thinking it through 2. The animations are so spot on 3. I can't stop crying that this isn't real 4. Silksong is never coming out so I gotta keep re-absorbing old Hollowknight content
0:52: The Knight: Oh come on AGAIN? how many times am I going to have to fight the embodiment of light and order? ITS NOT EVEN THE SAME ONE THIS TIME >.
I absolutely love how you animated him into the actual stages! Also that fs was insane! Kinda sad you didn’t include the shade soul, abyss shriek, or descending dark, but this was still awesome!
I feel that either: The Knight has a triple jump like all winged characters do, with a standard double jump. Or the wing jump is super floaty. And maybe the Knights final smash is a bit different? Like the general concept is good, but I think it'd be awesome if the Hollow Knight and the siblings drifted off up from beneath the stage and grabbed one of the fighters (if they're in the vicinity) and the final smash happened on the stage, like how it did in the final fight. Other than that, amazing work!!! Earned a subscriber!!
I think the moveset you created fits the character fantastically, you thought well about it and included such great references such as the dreamnail or the whole soul system, the knight really looks like a fun and balanced character. The Video is very good too and the animations are beautiful. I would suggest to make the dash slash his dash attack and the shadow dash his dodge besides that I think the moveset is perfect! Ps: I too often think about movesets for characters I want in smash and it‘s so nice to see that some one other puts such effort into making one. There is still one dlc fighter left, hopefully the knight will make his way into the game.
@@thealchemistking4063 imo it's was a very nice sendoff to smash 5 cuz like Sakurai said, he was the most requested fighter. Made sense for him to be the last one. If he does another smash game, the lot of us HK fans have to request them.
"If I had one nickel for everytime I had to fight a godly light being that possesses people and looks like some kind of weird angel, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice"
@@nukboii Ah yes, a comment 1 week apart, with the top comment being nearly the exact same, i think, if you just use your brain, you can figure it out.
@@voidenterprises or maybe that wasn't a top comment a week ago and I didn't see it and even then you're getting way too pressed about a youtube comment, get help
@@nukboii yikes im already hit with the 'get help'. also, cmon man just because im making a deduction that makes sense doesnt mean im getting pressed (slightly hypocritical by the way man) .
Unfortunately I'm one of those people that hasn't played Hollow Knight yet so I'm gonna have to come back to this one. But I wanted to say that the animated trailer at the beginning is so cool! I love seeing people imagine trailers for their favourite characters. Looking forward to seeing the rest!
Reveal trailers are my favorite part of any new character inclusion, so I had to do the little bug man justice with one of his own! Thanks for checking out the video though!
I think a cool idea would be that when you die, your darkness(?) Would be on stage, and your soul meter will be broken, and capped at like half, and all soul previously owned is lost, except when the darkness gets damaged enough or is ko'd, then your soul is regained, and meter fixed.
Personally for the first taunt I think instead of a Weaverling, a hatchlings could pop up and fly above the knight’s head and the knight could watch them for like a quick second.
For the knight's grabs and throws, I always envisioned it as his void tendrils coming out of his cloak and yeeting the opponents. The weaverlings are a great idea though
I just noticed that when the knight does the desolate dive attack at 12:26 the music in the background is perfectly timed with that switching to the soul master part of the soul sanctum ost! Very clever
If there's one thing that I don't like about this moveset is that the throws only use the Weaverlings. You could have included other charms, like the Glowing Womb, the Grimmchild, and maybe even the Flukenest or Sharp Shadow. Other than that, I think this might just be my favorite Hollow Knight moveset for Smash. Great work!
Could try having his spells transformed to the upgraded versions once he reaches 100% or so? Could increase spell damage by 1.5x and change the animations to the dark versions
or it could be that when you input them like a smash attack they charge up a bit and then do the stronger version if the attack. (sort of like samus side special.)
Or you make it so instead of the spells having upgraded damage you give them the upgraded spells other properties like shade soal being bigger and going through walls and wraiths also being bigger
we dont like the comeback mechanics over here but letting the knight charge up the move to access its uppgraded version like @honque2490 suggests would work perfectly
Great video! The one thing I would add is having The Knight's shell as his shield. Kinda like how yoshi has his egg as his shell and I think that would be such a great unnecessary addition but oh so great :D
That was incredible. I see this kind of comment all over youtube so this probably doesn't mean much to you but you are the first channel I've seen and genuinely thought, how does this man not have more subscribers. Incredible stuff!
as for the 7 alternate costumes, I’d have the knight wearing a simple mask shaped the same way as the dreamer’s masks, over his face, painted in the likeness of some character from hallownest, then simply recolor his wrappings. Or full remodels of head to go with the recolor, but even less likely than the Knight being in smash at all. The most obvious inspirations for costumes I see are Hornet, Zote, The Pale King, and the baby Hollow Knight we see in the hidden cutscenes, but others could be inspired by the dreamers Monomon, Herrah, & Lurien; prominent adventurers in the story like Quirrel, Cloth & Tiso; or the Five Great Knights Ze’mer, Isma, Dryya, Hegemol, and Ogrim. Or just other siblings whose shells we see scattered around, such as the Broken Vessel, the corpse in the background of the first Hornet fight, or any of the myriad of designs in the abyss.
This is crazy. This was exactly how me and my friends pictured it. Even the final smash was the same. Btw Would it be cool if you could upgrade your spells to like abyss shriek?
Even though this was a year ago, I feel like some good alternate costumes could be Zote, the Pure Vessel armour and the knight wearing red instead of grey as a reference to Hornet!
I kind of pictured it like Sephiroth's reveal but instead, The Knight in void form rises up behind Galeem, utterly destroys him before everyone watches him slowly turn back to normal.
This is extremely amazing, it has to be the best moveset idea showcase i've ever seen of any character, the amount of work put into it with the animation and references is just incredible, great stuff and i hope to see more of this!!
This was very impressive and entertaining. The animation was phenomenal, and that final smash left me speechless. It would be awesome if they actually added this in another DLC
Wow. This must've taken so much time and energy to make. I don't know enough about smash to fully appreciate how all these moves could be put together but wow the animations were cool to look at! The little looks the knight gave the camera after moves were used when it had no soul left were so cute and funny too. Loved it.

Hey guys! Thanks for the support on this video! I figured I'd just clarify a few things about the moveset.
- Crystal Dash works in the air, and has no hitbox.
- Focus works in the air, but it takes twice as long (around 3ish seconds) for the charge to finish
- After thinking about it, I agree that the Focus that's presented in the video does too much healing. I'd reduce it to about 10% per heal.
- Yes, I know the Shade Lord or "The Void Given Focus" exists, but decided against using it because most people consider the "Dreams No More" ending to be the true ending and The Knight takes the "Void Given Form" in that ending.
- I learned after making this video that The Knight actually has no gender! Sorry about that!

The Knight absorbs the essence similar to what he does to Hollow Knight and the Dreamers
The Knight rests on the bench that acted as the Safe Havens and save points in the game
The Knight swings his nail and ends with the "challenge" pose when fighting the Mantis Lords and the Radiance.
His clapping animation... he doesn't clap, just stares like the emotionless thing he is.
The skins are based on characters and themes of Hollow Knight:
Red: Based on Hornet
Green: Based on Greenpath/Queen's Garden
Orange: Based on the Infection
White: Based on the Pale King
Bronze: Based on the Godseeker
Black Red: Based on Grimm
Pure Vessel: Mask changes to resemble the Pure Vessel
The stage for Hollow Knight should be Godhome, where the environment and hazards will constantly be shift by Godseeker like in Godmaster.
Classic Mode will be called Pantheon of Smash based on Pantheon of Hallownest, where the enemies will represent the bosses in the games like a Giant Metal Dedede representing False Knight. The ending picture will be based on the Knight sitting with a Swordfighter (maybe Marth) on a beach, referencing Quirrel at the Blue Lake.
Better intro: The Knight comes riding in on the Old Stag
@@ridori7376 Yeah, that works too. Although, I'm more for either Dream Nail teleportation or Falling from the sky as a reference to the intro of the game.
Woe
I have an interesting idea for the stage, so it's standard triplat, the setting is city of tears, crystal peak, and coliseum of fool's. City has normal platforms, the peak has platforms with spikes under that flip when something steps on em but can be hit to change back, and coliseum has platforms that fall on contact. The areas change randomly/on a set timer with the godseeker effect, and the initial stage is random. Maybe dependant on music?
No hazards/battlefield randomly selects a variant that stays the same for the whole match (like one of the FE stages)
one of the skins should be his shade, not just a skin but a slightly changed model too
"Everyone only slashes with their nail"
Mantis Lords, The Hollow Knight, and Hornet: Am I a joke to you?
Edit: Forgot this comment existed, but finally got a notif bringing me back. Some enemies I forgot to mention were: Hive Knight, Markoth, and technically The Radiance, if you consider their horizontally/vertically moving projectiles as nails.
Another clarification is that I'm specifically talking about nail users that do things other than slashing WITH THEIR NAILS. Spinning counts as slashing as you're just slashing in a circle.
Hopefully that makes things clear :p
Hornet has a needle not a nail
@@monochrome3168 close enough.
Also PV
@@frostyvoid827 PV is basically THK tho
@@instnct_banhs540 PV is the hollow knight just twice as strong
For the costumes, you could give them a red cloak as a reference to Hornet, The protector of Hallownest and the Knights half-sibling.
A light grey cloak with orange eyes as a reference to The Hollow Knight, the Knights sibling and vessel for The Radiance.
A frowning mouth and one slightly shorter horn as a reference to Invincible, Fearless, Sensual, Mysterious, Enchanting, Vigorous, Diligent, Overwhelming, Gorgeous, Passionate, Terrifying, Beautiful, Powerful Grey Prince Zote the strongest character in Hollow Knight.
A pale brown cloak, white body and yellow eyes to represent The Radiance, the games main antagonist and the god(goddess? Idk) of dreams.
A black cloak with a red body and a line going vertically through each eye to represent Troupe Master Grimm, the leader of The Grimm Troupe and vessel for The Nightmare Heart.
A gold cloak, steel grey body and a gold shell to represent The Godseeker, who seeks to Attune to the gods of Hallownest (and also hijacks the entire plot)
And finally pure black with very intricate horns and 8 white eyes to represent Bill/The Shade Lord, the final form of the Knight, taken on during the godmaster endings.
I see you are a fellow mossbag veiwer
@@Dungeon_Dunce2011 hehe bill
In my opinion:
Hornet deserves her own character
Pure Vessel deserves its own character
Zote doesn't deserve anything better than a slow, painful death of dehydration, trapped in Deepnest.
A Radiance, Godseeker, Bill or Grimm skin or character would be very out of place
If there were to be skins for the Little Vessel they should be little changes. Stuff like the horn variations the siblings have.
Hornet should just be an outfit and not just a refrence
We can also do the Pale Kings cloak as an outfit on The Knight and even have Shade as an full outfit
I love how you essentially incorporated the soul management aspect of combat from hollow knight. A big part of the combat in the original game is about making the best use of your soul by deciding whether to focus, use a spell, or maybe get in a nail art when you have the opportunity. This would be a really cool feature if the knight was ever added to smash!
Nail arts don't take soul
@@bestaround3323 yeah, but you can't focus or use spells while charging one so it's still a tradeoff
The knight is by far the most talked about and movement theorised moveset character i have seen for smash. I'm really hoping they get it.
Edit: that intro was amazing
@@AshenDust_
I've been playing hollow knight for about 2 or 3 years now. I absolutely love the game. It ties with two other games for my most favorite game.
@@AshenDust_
No worries.
Hollow Knight is my favorite indie and one of my top 5 favorite games! I'm glad he did this animation. But, imagine if instead of the spiders in his throws, he would use Grimm's son.
@@monito8823
I was thinking about grimchild when he started talking about the weaver's as well. I love Grimm child
What about WAHluigi???
WAH
The charms the knight was using: Sharp shadow (2), Shape of Unn (2), Thorns of agony (1), Dream shield (3) , Weaversong (2), and Defender's crest(1) . in total 11 charm notches, nice attention to detail about how many charms the play can have at once
Edit: Nvm just found out it has spell twister
What about spell twister? Since spells cost less than the focus
He's overcharmed
@@silentchips1379 did not realize that :/
His final smash is literally just
“YOU ARE GOING TO BRAZIL!”
Imagine seeing some tentacles coming out of the void and hears The Knight saying "You're going to Brazil"
no wyoming (it's a chunk error)
Me playing as UNO Deck box: no u
The Man Who Touch A Lämp lol
In Brazil, we stole ALL geo, a Brazilian talking LMAO
The fact you fully animated the entire movesets while explaining has earned you my respect. First time I actually found a "What If" video actually enjoyable.
I’ve enjoyed the “What If They Were in Smash” series by BrawlFan1 because he has solid visuals, usually drawings of the moves. Plus the writing is pretty good too. But this? This is a WHOLE new level of effort and polish.
@@EmileeAria413 I concur. I fervently loathe his writing and his jokes, but he has decent ideas. This guy seems more natural with his script.
@@andymcclurg9916 I don't think we really do concur. I enjoy BrawlFan1's content quite a lot. If you loathe his writing and jokes, I think you need to reassess your priorities. I do agree with you that AranOcean is better.
That final smash is absolutely incredible. The detail of the Knight waking up after the fact is just so SO good
I think there was a slight missed opportunity to include Grimmchild and the Glowing Womb Hatchlings into his other throws instead of just the Weaverlings.
Also, his entrance animation should be him rolling up his map and hopping off of a bench.
Also also, City of Tears should be the stage. Perhaps based around the Hollow Knight memorial statue.
Grimmchild grab should launch the enemy in a random arch thats different everytime and misses 33% of the time.
city of tears or the abyss
I agree that there should be more variety with his throws using different charms.
What about a stage where you battle in front of the archives, and oomas appear around the arena
Nah, fam. *Godhome.*
Plot twist: *Zote fumbles his way in!*
Zote sounds like a fantastic assist trophy. He flails around the stage and acts like a moving bumper, knocking foes away without doing any damage.
@@EmileeAria413 he’s described as the
T E N N I S B A L L
Good skin for the knight along with the hollow knight and lost kin
@@EmileeAria413 Imagine being killed from Zote bruh
Better to have hornet as assist thropy and zote as an skin
I love this!! I also adore the little detail of the knight readjusting their nail and coat after the great slash. I imagine other moves have something similar but it's so fast it's hard to tell! That amount of animation must have taken FOREVER. This is amazing
5:12
"I found it a bit strange that characters in Hollow Knight only swing their nail"
Hornet: SHAW
Git gud
Hornet’s weapon is a needle not a nail.
Hornet in the sequel: SAWS!
Nailmaster Oro has the same lunge move
THK sad noises
"Let's take this down a *notch"*
I see what you did there.
Oh I see now
fact: wayward compass is the best charm. it increases your health to 20 masks and 101% more damage.
Honestly I think the final smash should be called “Embrace the void”
"characters in hollow knight only swing their nails"
The Hollow Knight: Am I a joke to you?
Most bosses:
Brooding Mawlek,Uumuu,Nosk,fucking Radiance,etc.: *Am I a joke to you?*
Husks, mantises, mosskin, mawleks, flies, Aspids, infection, Soul Sanctum bugs: am I a joke to you?
Hornet: is my needle a joke to you?
Nicknock Play's and reviews the guy said nails, not needles
Missing: LORD OF SHADES WOULD DO A PERFECT SMASH.
VOID SPELLS ARE PERFECT AS WELL.
the knight uses the shade cloak and if it hits it will play an animation where void fills the screen
then the character at the receiving end of the final smash turns back to see the shade lord standing there before slashing the screen
@@gabriel4350 I say Dreamnail is a better trigger(Accurate, still a lot of range if we’re making it like the original game’s Dreamnail range). The Knight’s mask breaking and releasing Shade Lord should get included as well
Void spells after a certain percentage
@@phatcat-st4gb Max soul, same with getting Shade Lord for FS(Don’t know if it should be exclusively cosmetic or not though)
Maybe have those for a skin change idk
This is the most dedication I have ever see to wanting a character in smash and the animation is insanely clean, if only this could be a reality
His shield could be baldur shell. Another cosmetic is blue coming out of the knight in stamina battle for life blood.
Another detail: When the Knight gets knocked down to 1 stock, the Soul Gauge becomes the Steel Soul Gauge.
@@TheTrueBongoKnight
Probably when it's on the last stock as steel soul is once you're dead, you don't come back. (Edit i missed the part where you said one stock. Nvm). But you did remind me that instead of smoke coming off the knight like any other fighter over 100%, it could be void particles.
well this could work like steve: when he perfect shields, baldur shell appears
@@0megazeero
Oh shoot, you right.
@@TheTrueBongoKnight if there was a God home skin for him, his soul could be the godmaster Guage
For the taunts, you could have done "Challenge," like when the Knight challenges the Mantis Lords or the Radiance.

I was anxiously waiting for the dreamnail to get introduced, i LOVE this moveset idea. But maybe with the spells, if you charge them up they become their stronger version. Shade Soul, Desending Dark, and Abyss Shriek

This is very well thought out! The fact you made all the animations and took inspiration from various charms and spells is great!

Just imagine how cool it would be if they add the Knight, Hornet, Pure Vessel and Lost Kin
@@DiegoGates7x i can see hornet in the game once silksong releases
@@DiegoGates7x Lost Kin doesn’t have a lot to work with, Pure Vessel would be the biggest character in Smash if he were added
If steve, the terraforming master that was once a completely unknown game from mojang, can go in smash im pretty sure the knight has a pretty good chance... especially since team cherry is starting to have pretty good recognition from nintendo now
I keep coming back to this video because 1. You did an amazing job thinking it through 2. The animations are so spot on 3. I can't stop crying that this isn't real 4. Silksong is never coming out so I gotta keep re-absorbing old Hollowknight content

This is abasalutly AMAZING!! The Final Smash gave me goosebumps XD

Thank you
thx
I was kinda hoping to see a godmaster reference somewhere, oh well
I was honestly expecting the entity from godmaster to just rock up in the final smash but this one is fine too
0:52: The Knight: Oh come on AGAIN? how many times am I going to have to fight the embodiment of light and order? ITS NOT EVEN THE SAME ONE THIS TIME >.
I absolutely love how you animated him into the actual stages! Also that fs was insane! Kinda sad you didn’t include the shade soul, abyss shriek, or descending dark, but this was still awesome!
Could take a point from some other the Knight ideas and have the stronger spells happen if you have full charge of soul
Or perhaps if you tap the neutral specal the next spell will be charged and will use 2 notches.
Imagine if his final smash was the knight gathering all of the grubs he saved and then made them attack there enemies
I can see him becoming the dark form from the "true ending" or the monster from the PoH ending
Huh. A bit different smashes with lil costume variations? Like cloud have.
Call upon its kins from the abyss
Too bad they got eaten
I imagine he turns into the shade lord the thing you see him kill the radiance with in the godseeker ending
I feel that either: The Knight has a triple jump like all winged characters do, with a standard double jump.
Or the wing jump is super floaty.
And maybe the Knights final smash is a bit different? Like the general concept is good, but I think it'd be awesome if the Hollow Knight and the siblings drifted off up from beneath the stage and grabbed one of the fighters (if they're in the vicinity) and the final smash happened on the stage, like how it did in the final fight.
Other than that, amazing work!!! Earned a subscriber!!
I think the moveset you created fits the character fantastically, you thought well about it and included such great references such as the dreamnail or the whole soul system, the knight really looks like a fun and balanced character. The Video is very good too and the animations are beautiful. I would suggest to make the dash slash his dash attack and the shadow dash his dodge besides that I think the moveset is perfect!
Ps: I too often think about movesets for characters I want in smash and it‘s so nice to see that some one other puts such effort into making one.
There is still one dlc fighter left, hopefully the knight will make his way into the game.
I really hope he makes it aswell!
I’m still sad that he didn’t include grimchild
I completely agree
Alas it was sora, a character i couldnt care less about like most of the roster unfortunately.
@@thealchemistking4063 imo it's was a very nice sendoff to smash 5 cuz like Sakurai said, he was the most requested fighter. Made sense for him to be the last one. If he does another smash game, the lot of us HK fans have to request them.
"If I had one nickel for everytime I had to fight a godly light being that possesses people and looks like some kind of weird angel, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice"

Unfortunately I'm one of those people that hasn't played Hollow Knight yet so I'm gonna have to come back to this one. But I wanted to say that the animated trailer at the beginning is so cool! I love seeing people imagine trailers for their favourite characters. Looking forward to seeing the rest!
Reveal trailers are my favorite part of any new character inclusion, so I had to do the little bug man justice with one of his own! Thanks for checking out the video though!

Go play it. It is godly.

Hollow Knight is free this month on PS4 with PS Plus, I picked it up and I loved it very much, if you have a PS4 pick it up!
You forgot to make him kill in a horrible way Mario in his trailer.

Nah, Mario should probably die to false knight or something.
@@crazy338866 no make mario die to gorb
@@SquidsINCIsABadRUclipsr nah zote destroys him with life-ender
Make him die to Myla
I think a cool idea would be that when you die, your darkness(?) Would be on stage, and your soul meter will be broken, and capped at like half, and all soul previously owned is lost, except when the darkness gets damaged enough or is ko'd, then your soul is regained, and meter fixed.
The Knight/Hollow Knight is getting a lot of love recently, and hopefully the guys at Nintendo notice.
I’ve always imagined that the Knights introduction would be: “The Knight nails the competition!”
@Aidan Fields sey
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
(Sorry I had to....)
sounds oddly sexual
Personally for the first taunt I think instead of a Weaverling, a hatchlings could pop up and fly above the knight’s head and the knight could watch them for like a quick second.
For the knight's grabs and throws, I always envisioned it as his void tendrils coming out of his cloak and yeeting the opponents. The weaverlings are a great idea though
I love how everyone is doing smash speculation for the knight, maybe he has a chance >w
I don’t even play smash but if they were added I would beg my parents to get smash
I have smash, but if I didn’t have and he got in, I would do the same ~w~
I just noticed that when the knight does the desolate dive attack at 12:26 the music in the background is perfectly timed with that switching to the soul master part of the soul sanctum ost! Very clever
If there's one thing that I don't like about this moveset is that the throws only use the Weaverlings. You could have included other charms, like the Glowing Womb, the Grimmchild, and maybe even the Flukenest or Sharp Shadow.
Other than that, I think this might just be my favorite Hollow Knight moveset for Smash. Great work!
Could try having his spells transformed to the upgraded versions once he reaches 100% or so? Could increase spell damage by 1.5x and change the animations to the dark versions
or it could be that when you input them like a smash attack they charge up a bit and then do the stronger version if the attack. (sort of like samus side special.)
Or you make it so instead of the spells having upgraded damage you give them the upgraded spells other properties like shade soal being bigger and going through walls and wraiths also being bigger
we dont like the comeback mechanics over here but letting the knight charge up the move to access its uppgraded version like @honque2490 suggests would work perfectly
Great video! The one thing I would add is having The Knight's shell as his shield. Kinda like how yoshi has his egg as his shell and I think that would be such a great unnecessary addition but oh so great :D
or how about the Baldur Shell charm?
absolutely agree, I second that motion.
Baldur Shell as shield would be PERFECT
I think Dreamshield as the shield animation with the shield slowly shrinking would be awesome.
I really want the knight or hornet in smash and I think this is very accurate to how he should be
Maybe for one of his taunts it could be his challenge animation from when he challenges bosses
I thought about the same thing
@@amgdeg4897 same
@Trevor Devonshire [Student] :0 that would be cute
@Trevor Devonshire [Student] that would be amazing oml
Or Hornet appears, says "Git Gud" and then dissappear
Honestly, every character we want in Smash is already in RoA with movesets that are great. Knight included.
That was incredible. I see this kind of comment all over youtube so this probably doesn't mean much to you but you are the first channel I've seen and genuinely thought, how does this man not have more subscribers. Incredible stuff!
as for the 7 alternate costumes, I’d have the knight wearing a simple mask shaped the same way as the dreamer’s masks, over his face, painted in the likeness of some character from hallownest, then simply recolor his wrappings. Or full remodels of head to go with the recolor, but even less likely than the Knight being in smash at all. The most obvious inspirations for costumes I see are Hornet, Zote, The Pale King, and the baby Hollow Knight we see in the hidden cutscenes, but others could be inspired by the dreamers Monomon, Herrah, & Lurien; prominent adventurers in the story like Quirrel, Cloth & Tiso; or the Five Great Knights Ze’mer, Isma, Dryya, Hegemol, and Ogrim. Or just other siblings whose shells we see scattered around, such as the Broken Vessel, the corpse in the background of the first Hornet fight, or any of the myriad of designs in the abyss.
Young PV
For the classic mode, we could have the Mantis Lords added as a boss. It would be awesome to see and the battle would work for all characters as well.
An easter egg could be that sometimes the final smash does the absolute radiance where he becomes the beast instead
This is crazy. This was exactly how me and my friends pictured it. Even the final smash was the same.
Btw Would it be cool if you could upgrade your spells to like abyss shriek?
Maybe above a certain percentage like lucarios aura
@Ras Elclare yes just make it so you have to hold down the button to activate it the void versions.
A better grab would be hornet coming in and shouting git good, and the beat down is just spamming dream nail
we will not give up until little ghost descends his way in!
he MUST be in smash!
the final smash honestly is dope
10/10 you made this perfect and i hope sakarai takes information about this and adds it into smash
great job :D
Even though this was a year ago, I feel like some good alternate costumes could be Zote, the Pure Vessel armour and the knight wearing red instead of grey as a reference to Hornet!
I love that the knight in the intro is like
"I've already taken care of winged light creatures like you before
Come at me!!"
“I’ve fought gods before you ain’t the first now get down here so we can throw hands!”
I kind of pictured it like Sephiroth's reveal but instead, The Knight in void form rises up behind Galeem, utterly destroys him before everyone watches him slowly turn back to normal.

I like the fact that just with the things fans have created they could actually put the knight in smash without any problems. It would be really cool
Bro find a modder and give the knight his well deserved spot in the roster
Knight be like "its not the first time i kill the sun (light)"
I personally haven’t beaten the white palace yet, much less defeated the radiance
This is one of the greatest smash character concept videos I have ever seen
This is extremely amazing, it has to be the best moveset idea showcase i've ever seen of any character, the amount of work put into it with the animation and references is just incredible, great stuff and i hope to see more of this!!
I watched this video before the sephiroth reveal and I almost had a heart attack during it because the reveal trailer began so much like yours!

Same. Really wanna get smash sometime
i think it would work like steves character, if you have the game you also get the character in smash
@Issac Wright read his comment,youre the one being stupid
THIS
THIS IS THE THING I WANT
This was very impressive and entertaining. The animation was phenomenal, and that final smash left me speechless. It would be awesome if they actually added this in another DLC
Wow. This must've taken so much time and energy to make. I don't know enough about smash to fully appreciate how all these moves could be put together but wow the animations were cool to look at! The little looks the knight gave the camera after moves were used when it had no soul left were so cute and funny too. Loved it.
Idea of a taunt: the knight pulls out the sword just like when you challenge the radiance or the mantis lords
The Final Smash was exactly like I imagined it would be. This was all fantastic work!!
