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

[@nekjotti]

TAS?

[@Elendrial]

​@@nekjotti 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.

Blue: I will probably mess things pretty quickly. Also Blue: perfectly makes skips with 1.1 and even 1.15 speed. Oh, Watcher Knights became the problem now with 1.25 and 1.3 speed... But you did it thankfully right before 1.35 speed increase, lmao. OMG. That Crystal Peak crawlers cycle was so perfect lmao. And the lasers cycle too, loool. QGA wasn't THAT bad. You nailed it IMO. Just few tries and you were done with it. In your first run, you finished Watcher Knights right before speed increased to 1.35. On second run you made it before it increased to 1.3. This is a major improvement (over 3 minutes faster). That fall in the Herrah's dream 😂 20 minutes of tries to beat The Hollow Knight... GG!
