[@Nixolas_Zinn]

Ngl, I'm kinda surprised no one tried to do the gun% route, just supplement the gun with your teammate killing the corridor blocker, and supplement the vengeful spirit/gun skip with a player boosting you (possible after you damage boost each other up a bit higher), and if it doesn't work either follow the normal route, or follow the casual route through garden to get dash early. There are of course downsides of not having a spell, but would a nail upgrade ammend this?

[@MrEliasMarques]

I think the gameplay would be a lot more interesting if abilities were conquered as a team. Example: if a member of the team gets VS, the other team player also gets it. If a member gets dash slash, the other gets it too. This would play hugely into routing strategies because while one player gets false knight, the other rushes to greenpath. While one player goes to one dreamer, the other tackles another dreamer. This would also make it so that no member of the team lags behind and also the matches would be faster while improving the team aspect of the gameplay. This could also increase the relevance of optional abilities such as Ddark furthering the route from the traditional any%.

I'd prefer it if as soon as an item was claimed no one else could get it. Have to strategize how to get claw or how to play when only one gets it. Only one gets the stag stations (like monopolu), charms are one only, etc. Not a shared inventory but they share an inventory and it's divided up by finders keepers law.

@@akesan2374 As Vital said below, there's absolutely no teamwork if one player does all the work while the second teammate just sabotaged everything. It's a legit strategy but there's no fun as a viewer. Fire was miles ahead and Ax had the opportunity to sabotage the other team. But what is fun about a one sided victory? If Ax had to beat the Hollow Knight too, then it would have been a much closer game where Pest and Skurry would have an advantage given that both were actively trying to win.

[@akesan2374]

The thing is, in the second game, they were *all* at THK. The only reason as to why Pest won that game was because the others didn't have time to stop him with their own THKs. Now, imagine that but in a 2v2 setting. You wouldn't even be able to tell who is who. Sure, it might be more fun to watch, but it'd be way too hard for both teams. And also, it can still be considered teamwork, as similar tactics are used in Minecraft manhunts, where at least one hunter chases the speedrunner, while the others get ressources, and no one calls it a bad strat.
