[TAS] [Hollow Knight] 62.45S !!! Any Radiance 3.0 Quick Kill

100fps encoding
It's so hard to tas, Bob I hate you :)

[@jarlyk]

As someone who's done a lot of work with the HK TAS tools, let me just say that a truly ridiculous amount of work must've gone into making this. RNG isn't something we can just choose, but has to instead be manipulated by careful choice of inputs, which is quite challenging when you're trying to juggle all the other crazy stuff going on here. Super impressive and very fun to watch.

[@vailanceelectrodialysis3278]

This was the most incredible hollow knight video I have ever watched. I can not imagine the amount of time that went into this. Not only do you have to be incredibly skilled to pull off those dodges; you also have to get an incredibly lucky run (I’m talking about that sword wall at the beginning). The second stage of AR3.0 was thought to be impossible and yet you did it without getting hit!? Oh man… I think I need to lie down it’s hard for me to process this, wow. (Everyone get ready for Any Radiance 4.0)!

[@kurtronqx7135]

I'm not sure if you noticed but this is a TAS (tool-assisted speedrun). A human gave a program a set of predefined inputs. This level of input precision is impossible for a human player.

[@c_smathers]

@@kurtronqx7135 That said, with the way things are going I feel like AnyRad 3.0 might be human-defeated by Silksong's release; I've seen some really excellent attempts on the first phase already, and considering that the final phase is barely a challenge...

[@davidmazo4418]

Man I have a question, I'm not that much into TAS so, do you guys make the radiance do the same patterns over and over again and make the tas out of it or how do you do it? Great video, Any Radiance 3.0 looks crazy

[@davidmazo4418]

when I say make, I mean if you programe it some how to make always the same attacks or smh like that

[@lorinlonike2378]

Great question! There's not a way to force Radiance to do a specific move or pattern, but with TAS tools you can slow the game down to frame-by-frame to see what is coming next and input every move as quickly as possible. This lets the TAS builder essentially "react" to the moves that are used and work around them.

[@BobOrKlaus]

there is also stuff called RNG-manipulation, since the tas is probably working isolated you can get the same patterns when inputting the same things frame by frame, that means you can change how you do one segment by a few frames and the next attack is a different one. so in theory they are indeed "telling the boss what moves to make" albeit by going back in time and changing how they move, etc. to make the attack fit their needs. aside from this pretty vague explanation i also dont know how exactly this is done but my explanation hopefully helps understand it

[@superturn]

Ah yes, just how the dev intended it to be played by a human.
