ACTUALLY that’s why they had to make an entire other game for hornet! She was supposed to be an additional character in hollow knight (as well as zote) but Hornet is much larger than the knight and wouldn’t have been able to maneuver as well, thus silksong was conceptualized and then put in development until the year of 3070
They are gonna eventually turn HK into Skyrim 2 with the amount of modding thats happening, I can’t wait for Macho Man Hollow Knight or *LAMP* Radiance
the radiance fight with no background actually looks kinda sick, like just imagine going to this other dimension and there's nothing but a platform and a huge ball of light in a void.
i was just thinking about that, with certain stuff like sou equipped, maybe there could actually be some routing. most likely, i’d say run dies because there’s probably no way you could navigate peaks, so you wouldn’t be able to get c-dash, but it’d still be a cool concept to see
@@awesomefortnite I'd say Crystal Heart is one of the things you should start with from the beginning in order to decrease the odds of hitting a hard roadblock. Crystal Heart, Shape of Unn, Shade Cloak (I said Shade Soul in my previous comment but I meant Shade Cloak), obviously benchwarp enabled, possibly Isma's Tear, Dreamgate, Dashmaster, Sprintmaster, Sharp Shadow (increases dash distance), Deep Focus to help Shape of Unn last longer, and enough extra charm notches to handle those movement assists from the beginning. You could say that would make the game too easy, but there will be added challenge from playing as Big Knight, as this video shows. And it's not really making the game "easier" if the alternative is the game being literally impossible.
I don't know why but skurry's vids help me sleep, I'm not saying skurry's videos are boring it's just that skurry's voice is for some reason really relaxing to hear at night
I'm guessing people have already mentioned this, but you should try to do a playthrough with big knight where you're allowed to equip Shape of Unn from the very start. I bet that would allow you to fit through a bunch of the currently impossible gaps
ehh it faces a lot of problems for the endgame bosses which are built around the small size of the knight but might be possible based on stalwart shell,rng and descending dark
i say small knight is better just because i like the idea of seeing things from that knights PoV, just imagine how big the false knight or radiance would be. as a side note i guess that would also mean you are very goddamn powerful to be able to knock down bosses as big as that.
As someone who is not a native english speaker, everytime I hear people referring to someone as "they", I can't help but to think of the phrase "me is a crowd" (Btw I fully support it, don't get me wrong)
@@oliviavazquezrojas7208"they" is already a gender neutral pronoun (stupid as fuck why is it used in 2 different ways, pronouns in general are already not good parts of language) but you word sentences differently when using it, i don't think skurry's comment section does that and it makes sentences look weird
This tiny little insect man slashing at a hulking monstrosity with a mace that's larger than the player character, and *winning*, gives off such a Dark Souls energy that I'm worried I'm accidentally becoming a games journalist.
dont worry, becoming a game journalist is completely painless, because your brain unfolds so much you will never process pain again because you literally lack the mental capacity to do so. you also instantly lose like everything else and you have a high chance of spontaneously dying because your 6 neurons forgot to live
I can't believe I've never noticed until now, when taking in the infection at 17:23, when the Radiance screams, you can actually see an outline of her flash on screen
imagine teeny knight with sprintmaster and dashmaster. absolutely untouchable, so long as you can handle the speed. i also think that nail master's glory would be a great charm for the tiny knight, since i can imagine the tiny great slash being roughly comparable in size to a 'normal' slash(Assuming the nail art's are downsized like the normal slashes and the spells. would be pretty nuts if they weren't).
The lack of a background was a bit scary, and imagine playing the game for the first time without them. Constant uncertainty on whether something might just **grab you**
2:39 This is actually when you're going down the stairs, and it goes down one step lower than you think it does so that final step is always really disorienting and you have to be dramatic about it
Big knight needs the worm transformation to shrink that hitbox in order to move in smaller spaces, for sure. Maybe for a full playthrough, you could get some kind of mod that lets you start off with it equipped?
Possible edits to it: Big Knight • +100% more HP naturally (start at 10, plus 2 masks for every 4 mask shards, maximum masks 16) • +50% nail damage due to being big stronk boi • lower attack speed (quickslash puts at normal attack speed) • special crawl state to go through smaller places? • dash does damage (sharp shadow even more)? • fast fall, same distance and speed as already in vid • further boosted nailart damage Small Knight • -25% HP (every 6 mask shards gives 1 mask, start at 4 masks instead of 5, maximum masks 6) • -25% damage • quickslash speed is normal speed, quickslash charm makes you go even further beyond • bigger dash distance, bigger monarch jump, slow fall • further quicker nailarts
@@DarkShard5728 Gotta have some semblance of balance compared to 'Big Knight.' Also, "an object at rest stays at rest." Less inertia, I guess. I don't know, if ya wanna nitpick for a non-gameplay answer, that's all I got. Smaller winged animals, whether bats, birds, or bugs, are typically more maneuverable than bigger ones.
@@khajiitimanus7432 thats not how inertia works, and no it doesn't need to be equal because it's already hard for enemies to hit you and it can just be a challenge, it doesnt need to be balanced lol
I think BeegKnight should have twice as many masks, and SmolKnight should take double damage. It’s fairly common in game balancing for big characters to have higher HP, while small characters have paper defenses. Great vid Skurry 🙂
Idea Find a way to change your size on the fly Optimize which room you use which knight in Speedrun the game using the optimal size for the different skips and room/boss clearers For example, rooms and bosses with lots of tight movement, small knight Rooms and bossed that just need to be dealt with as fast as possible, big knight And everything that is made harder by being either of them, you still have medium knight for!
Plot twist, he wasn’t the one with the mod. This is just what happens when that one crawlid in king pass decides to start a rando and the enemies keep going small to wide
Small knight shade soul was literally just a bullet Also Skurry should make/get a mod that just doubles the game speed. Everything is twice as fast, player, attack speed, enemy speed, projectile speed, EVERYTHING
It says fifty seconds ago. And I'm still less then twentieth Everyone loves this person. Rightfully. BTW Skurry I think your background is having a bad day.
beeg knight is completely impossible, even if you had all upgrades. Nothing changes your collision hull's size (not even unn or dashing), so you're stuck with the size you start at. you can make it to resting grounds and crystal peaks, but you can't use the entrance above salubra to blue lake, and you can't use the entrance from the grey mourner area to the lift down to king's station. When you jump in water, you're permanently stuck, so no going to fog canyon, and you have a similar problem to greenpath when trying to enter fungal wastes. I even tried going up to howling cliffs, just in case skurry was wrong, but yeah, you're too big to fit there... it's not even possible if you use bench warp and have every single bench unlocked (except black egg obviously)... herrah is blocked behind a gap no matter where you're coming from. if you warp to the bench and then try to go directly to her, the gap is too small, and if you try to sit on the webbed bench, you get soft locked in the falling animation, and even if you ignore that YOU'RE STILL STUCK, and even the secret entrance that you have to (for most people) use monarch wings and crystal dash to get, the tunnel is too short for you... however, if somehow you were to just teleport to herrah and find a way to the other dreamers, as well as somehow do the white palace and queens gardens, the radiance is a literal piece of cake. all you do is spam everything you have and she dies so quickly (assuming you're using max nail upgrades and spells and charms) that she never even gets the chance to kill you
The reason you feel slower and feel like you jump less while big and faster and jump higher while small is because your speed and jump height valued are the same, but when comparing it to the knight, it's lower/ smaller. For example, if you're big, you jump less times your body size, and the opposite is true for tiny knight. If you're small, your speed per second in terms of knight lengths per second is higher, the opposite is true for big knight
ACTUALLY that’s why they had to make an entire other game for hornet!

Nothing changes your collision hull's size (not even unn or dashing), so you're stuck with the size you start at. you can make it to resting grounds and crystal peaks, but you can't use the entrance above salubra to blue lake, and you can't use the entrance from the grey mourner area to the lift down to king's station.

"Its ok chat we got this!"
Narrator: They didn't have this
The reason you feel slower and feel like you jump less while big and faster and jump higher while small is because your speed and jump height valued are the same, but when comparing it to the knight, it's lower/ smaller. For example, if you're big, you jump less times your body size, and the opposite is true for tiny knight. If you're small, your speed per second in terms of knight lengths per second is higher, the opposite is true for big knight
