Hollow Knight by Stratus and Vysuals in

[@BlueSR]

yess this what we like to see

[@lancefyre99]

This was SUCH a good run. Glad i got to be on back couch for it

[@freezerburning]

hi lance

[@askmeagain43]

The runners: Team cherry donate if it's not intend Everyone else: Team cherry, just say anything, any words, please.

[@17thstellation]

Let's be real if they open their mouth and don't talk about Silksong the skongers will be like "BUT WHAT ABOUT SKONG HOW CAN YOU BREATHE AND NOT RELEASE SKONG"

[@TalkToMe711]

The fact they went in sync for so long was awesome!

[@PolyD6]

Absolutely incredible run. Great job Vysuals and Stratus!

[@RazvanStrambu]

"I'm alright at the game, but I know my role here" god, cracking me up even before the game gets started. Funny and laid back. Love it

[@LS-jj4sy]

This is hype, love that HK running is still going so strong, I just started learning 112% earlier this year and the scene is still so active

[@RamHarpBird]

Had to work so I couldn’t watch in real time, love how quick you guys are this year, it’s ready when I got home! Incredible!

[@MysticMindAnalysis]

I am Dyspraxic, and so I have difficulty with precise button timing. But I still adore every minute of this game, and am proud of the Speedrun and completion achievements I've gotten, even if they're on a much lower level than these pros. Amazing run, amazing charity work, Amazing game! Who wants to bet this time next year we'll have a Silksong speedrun, or is that too ambitious? ;)

[@YuubiTimberwolf]

No mind to think No will to break No voice to cry suffering but Hands to speedrun!

[@devilbob]

No silk to song

[@ReneePrower]

@27:46 Vys doing the under-plat after damage tanking to one mask is so bm. Nerves of steel.

[@mauroojeda196]

I started speedrunning after watching Vysuals in 2019 at AGDQ. Thanks for show me this awesome world of speedrun and an awesome game. Congratulations for the runners, amazing show!

[@lithracSolo]

Fantastic run, runners, and host! Argick's enthusiasm is amazing to hear!

[@gagegrogan4352]

These runs and GDQ in general is just so wholesome and enjoyable to watch

[@DaProphecyKJ24]

I wish they talked more about Stratus subtle optimizations during the run, he did so many little things right

[@bigblackchris5263]

I am glad I finally play and beaten Hollow Knight 2 weeks ago. PHENOMENAL RUN!

[@arisrayden]

in regards to the fear of bugs and spiders. i totally felt it too during first time deep nest especially late at night, the creepy crawly noises were pure torture and the area was so hard the first time i got there but once i was done with it it actually helped alieviate my fear and disgust at especially spiders. its not gone completely but has gotten better.

[@TheSweetSpirit]

Spiders are so cute and funny but also terrifying and scary u.u

[@orangewitheyes]

Great speedrun, great commentary, great job all of y'all!

[@mittensfastpaw]

Such a solid race to watch!

[@pastelpunk4137]

The ending! Its 4:45am here and i think my neighbours heard the gasps and claps from that ending from both the runners! GG to all!

[@vanerek]

OMG thanks for uploading so fast after the run, I had some things to do at home mid race and ended up losing the second half

[@brliron6538]

The race was at 3 AM for me, so I couldn't watch either, and I'm glad I can watch on YT when waking up instead of dealing with the Twitch VoD player. Thanks GDQ crew!

[@timothym5035]

Always love the Hollow Knight runs!

[@freezerburning]

my booty cheeks was clenched for most of this run

[@yoannmarchesse988]

hi freezerburning

[@TinkEdwards]

Best Metroidvania

[@bebberoniz]

My brother is goated!!!

[@dunnile]

darn tootin'

[@alvarostockle]

What a race, holy!

[@sams.975]

True ending is such a hype category! What a race

[@eongamer958]

the crowd is the secret 3rd couch member congrats to vysuals for winning

[@davidkolman]

Great run, great metroidlike game!

[@Dawnfeethers]

Holy CRAP the Radiance race omggggg

[@zaj_mahal]

What happened between (race timer) 6:20 and 6:39? Strat was about a room ahead and then it looked like it re-synced and then vysuals was suddenly ahead??

[@kennylog1ns]

Staff realized the video feeds were swapped on the display

[@Andrew-uk1bz]

The screens were flipped - you can tell at around 7:00 (video time, not race time) when Vys goes to change the volume, it shows up on Stratus' side. When it re-synced it was them flipping the screens to be on the correct sides

[@Manoplian]

I think they had the racers' screens on the wrong sides, so they switched it and things looked weird for a couple seconds.

[@micahbarrus8406]

It looks like they had the gameplay swapped, so that change fixed it.

[@zaj_mahal]

Gotcha, I didn't catch that. Thanks folks!

[@alphaomegagiant]

Obligatory reminder that Hornet is NOT void. Don't be fooled by the meme, sheeple!

[@DontMockMySmock]

i never noticed the Void Heart dream room is different from the non-dream abyss tall room

[@emberchord]

We still don’t have silksong, but we have this

[@bjropek11]

24:20 wow that was such a cool trick, he saved it cause everyone thought he was too low and…. No claps ._.

[@youngtoonfish6891]

Welp, SGDQ is over, time to catch up on all the good stuff I missed, starting with my favorite game

[@matwilliams8012]

Probably the hardest run of the show

[@wolfrein2020]

Surely with this many bugs coming at it, that moth is eventually gonna die

[@Nicholas_Steel]

Why did the screens, or who was at 30 FPS... swap? The names underneath didnt change... happens when they're entering green path.

[@austinfowler2707]

Apparently screens were on the wrong side.

[@hiramarchibaldify]

yah, apples and PNs are hard 25% of the time

[@El_Remolino19]

1.221 patch incase anyone was wondering and missed it

[@Polterguist]

Radiance was never hard for me. Absolute radiance on the other hand took a shit ton of practice to beat for the pantheon.

[@dunnile]

mmmmman that knight be hollow

[@micahbarrus8406]

Did they intentionally turn down the music? That's a big sad if so.

[@traurigerjonas5498]

now run true ending low%

[@王波浪-k9h]

为什么用了中文版的游戏 速通

[@mr_pants278]

The game uses less characters in Chinese text than it does in English text, so the dialogue becomes shorter and saves time.

[@ij1372]

This seems cool but i wish the couch gave more context on the game and why the tricks matter vs just saying their names and then making inside jokes. Never played the game and still confused by the end of it all

[@helgemeff5555]

[@freezerburning]

:3

[@gawain0]

[@lowfatqtips]

bro did they seriously not include the Path of Pain run? This is very upsetting. Not very nice for the people who couldn't watch it live.
