The route is so powerful, dash first and then killing false knight for geo (and fc but still) The tas itself is super clean too :o

Amazing job, this mustve taken a long time! Is no death warp in lost kin a patch specific thing, or is there another reason to not do it?

Too much time from freeze frames iirc

[@suntzu1233]

Something I've always wandered about, why do all spedrunnets use mandarin specifically in their speedruns?

[@Nixter1337]

It loads the fastest of all HK languages, and due to how mandarin works, shortening multiple/long words into singular characters, it loads even quicker.

[@julianhuber6850]

Great tas. How viable are the floorskip in kingspass and the vengeful spirit skip for human runs?

[@Nixter1337]

They aren't very viable, unfortunately. There are ways to make the VS skip more consistent but they end up losing more time than just getting VS. Also the floor skip is barely possible by tas with new breakthroughs, tas couldn't do it until a couple months ago, and even a couple months ago it was way better than humans here It usually takes an hour or two to get, even while TASing.

[@Mango1997]

What a Run!! Congrats for that accomplishment That Run had so many moments with Refined movements / Strats and it would DEFINETLY be great if you put your words in it. Also Merry Christmas! [so late lol] Excited for the next things you will work on ^.^

[@mkei3639]

This is fantastic, and I’m sure that there’s a smart reason I didn’t think of but why did you not use fury or take advantage of it for lost kin and other bosses after that?

[@Nixter1337]

Fury of the fallen loses 0.6 seconds to get and usually isn't worth it for bosses like that. Plus we take it off for wielder right after failed champ

[@jefffartsworth971]

This is a geat TAS, I don't know how they work but I love seeing stuff like this (being why I"m subscribed) also I think a TAS doing 112% would be interesting, I can't find anyone that has done it and I would really like to see it happen. (I have Edited this comment 8 times now and there could very well be an 9th)

[@Nixter1337]

You can't find one because no one wants to do it. Even now with RNG sync tooling and more libTAS stability, 1.4.3.2 is still a difficult patch to TAS properly. Also it takes far longer without unique wcs movement.

One part of the story I don't understand is how you do the Abyss Climb with all the movement stuff, when that was in the past and you hadn't obtained them yet

[@sir_ox6735]

@@Nixter1337 A possible answer(that still doesn't entirely make sense) is that you had them for the climb, and, whenever you escaped Hallownest, lost them across the Kingdom

[@Blowtorchturtle27]

1:05:25 Good run!

[@ransan]

Can you explain that noise the game is making when you air dash?

[@Nixter1337]

Yes I can! That technique is called Kwats (krythom wiggle acceleration tactics) It clings the wall for a frame, stops clinging, clings again, repeat. When you cling a wall, it makes a sound, so that grinding sound occurs because TAS clings and unclings the wall over and over, stopping and starting the sound.

[@ransan]

This must be a super obscure thing that even speedrunners rarely mention because I find nothing on kwats when searching the web.

[@ransan]

Okay I found it. It seems to be more commonly referred to as wall cling storage.

[@Nixter1337]

@@ransan Hi! The glitch is called wall cling storage, kwats is a very specific method of storing momentum with it. It stands for "krythom wiggle acceleration tactics" and you can't find it on google because it's a tas only thing. The term is usually only used in the hollow knight TAS and speedrun discords.

[@jeddite247]

55:08 how is it possible ???

[@jak0816]

noice

[@lisspeedrun]

is it some sorta huge af lag that makes kp floor skippable

[@Nixter1337]

Nah that’d be invalid. This TAS uses TFT manip and fps manip to get into the proper spot. The floor skip is only possible with the recent advancements made with fantas (where you slash forward but hit the wall behind you)

[@larrythecarry1441]

nice nix!
