I see the Knight doing their normal attack a lot in order to speed up wall jumping and push themselves back. Are there any other uses for the normal attack that I didn’t notice? (Not nail pogoing of course)

[@furysilent5596]

Ok so this is basically my guess but I think attacking in the middle of jumping reset the button cool down and let you jump more in the same amount of time

Hey do u mind sharing how does this TAS work? How does it find the right movement and is able to react accordingly? Does it take info from the screen (like pixel colors or something) or memory?

anyone else find it a bit weird that unofficial shortcuts like the environmental pogo at 3:07 are allowed? it feels like the purpose of avoiding official shortcuts is to take the "standard" path that one would probably take on their first casual playthrough

to speed up fallspeed since you fall faster a bit

Imagine FireB0rn seeing this.

[@turtlex5015]

How is the full game tas using the monarch wings route coming along?

[@charliefranklin8523]

Why do you keep cyclone slashing? Does it slightly increase falling speed or something?

[@mort3562]

It uncaps falling speed and, more importantly, removes hardfall. It's basically the current patch version of inventory drop

[@skytrizz]

@@mort3562 you can still inventory drop on cp but only on corners

[@rerg6923]

whats up with the cyclone slashes? are you mashing them? cuz that actually slows down your fall

when you nail hit and then wings it will make you not have the little dip, itll just go straight up, making it faster and higher. thats also whats making it look so fast. humans cant really do this consistently, its like a 2 frame input lol.

[@monomori5754]

me too, for this i can tell for sure that its quick slash(3), MoP(3), dash master(2), sharp shadow(2). that brings us to 10/11 notches and overcharmed, so probably either shamans or strength.

[@monomori5754]

now, after having gone and looked at the p5 video, that charm build includes: quick slash(3), fury(2), shaman's(3), nailmaster's(1), and strength(3) (i actually went and looked up damage values to determine strength lmao). they could still have another 1 notch charm, or even a 2 notch charm if they have legacy quick slash, but thats as far as i can tell.

it's a tool that allows you to make inputs frame by frame to get a theoretically perfect run i believe. if you care to know more a channel called Lowest Percent recently uploaded a video explaining it

[@reaperstory5100]

As someone who has played Hollow Knight, I did see some weird things especially with the "Knight" clipping into the saws and the vines on the climb at 2:17-2:24 ran it in 0.25 and It seemed suspicious. Any reasoning or examples on why it didn't tick the knight with damage. Or is "hit boxes" the only excuse for it.

[@user-er1ue6ui8d]

It because it's a TAS (tool assisted speed run). They can do things like slow down the game or use savestates to make pixel perfect moves that no human player could accomplish. In this case they perfectly avoided the hitboxes.

while technically possible, faked/cheated TASes simply don't happen and don't exist - noone has ever newsworthily faked a tas, ever (according to my lazy research)

[@lukasjuhrich503]

Note that it is possible to avoid the saws while sliding down the wall, ie during a wallgrab. It looks to me that the TAS times the wallgrab to occur precisely when the saw is closest, which amounts to only a few frames. But I agree, it looks ridiculous and like black magic.
