Cool moveset but I'd change a few things: Neutral B: Vengeful spirit. Having a projectile as a neutral b just feels more natural. Side B: Crystal Heart. Works like in the game but only goes slightly farther than fox and falco's side b and puts the knight into free fall in the air Down B (on the ground): Focus. I chose to change focus to down B cause it's a high commitment move and you wouldn't want to do it accidentally by hitting B Down B (in the air): Desolate Dive. You cant focus in the air in Hollow Knight so I chose to make desolate dive take the spot here.

It has a lot of rng, I beated her after a couple tries because of pure luck, and now I'm barely able to get into phase 3! The laser you have to dash through can combinate with other of her attacks, leading into almost unavoidable damage, and that's very unfair (specially in radiant mode). And if you are trying to complete the 5 pantheon you have to spent like 40 minutes on EACH TRY. So yeah, she's insane for me.
@thesnatcher36163 жыл бұрын
@@system_ai9248 Yes, I see. I've seen your argument about 50 times by other people before. I'm not sure what phase you're talking about but I'll assume it's the platform phase as that's probably the hardest part. Yeah how long the fight lasts is rng dependent but that's only if you stick to one platform like a turtle. Her sporadic teleportations actually have a strict rhythm that can be memorized and predicted and while the yellow projectiles can be a nuisance at times, if your paying attention to your environment, you can easily avoid most of them as the game gives you plenty of space to navigate. As for the lasers, her face lasers have an obvious pattern that you should have picked up from the first radiance fight. It's just faster. As for the column laser, it comes before and after a successive attack and you can clearly hear the SHSHSHSHSHSH from the background. And unlike the first phase, it doesn't teleport to the other side if you were too close to its spawn point. None of the attacks in the platform phase overlap. In fact, the attacks are slower than that of the first phase and the intervals between attacks are pretty long. The swords are slower too which is good cause if it wasn't the fight would be harder than it already is. This is coming from a guy who didn't even beat her yet in the hall of gods. As for your complaint against the 40-minute slog. at that point, you should have learned all the boss fights in the game so well that it should be a piece of cake. The last four pantheons properly train you for the fifth pantheon. So it was pretty easy for me. Got to Absolute Radiance on my first try! So please, try to find in-depth reasons why you find the attacks unfair. Feeling unfair and being unfair is a big difference. As a cuphead player, you should know this better than everyone. It's the reason why the majority of the Dark Souls fandom think Capra Demon and Bed of Chaos are unfair bosses.
@system_ai92483 жыл бұрын
@@thesnatcher3616 First of all, my point about the 5 pantheon still stands. The trail isn´t hard because you have mastered all bosses, but still takes a lot to get to her and feels annoying, it´s like the old Nes games where you have to go back to the start every time you die. They could made at least the last bench to work as a normal one. And for the final boss, I was talking about the starting phases when talking about the laser. When it comes out with the spikes in the same part of the platform,you only have 2 options, and both of them leave you open to get hit. I understand your point, Absolute Radiance isn´t a bad boss, but her predecesors are way better in comparison, so the hate of part of the fandom is understandable. In those bosses, you will never succeed until you master them, but with radiance, even with her insane difficulty, this doesnt happen. Personally, she feels a bt too extreme for me, and I don´t feel like I´m learning when I die. This is why I don´t like her, not because of her being bad, but because of being anticlimaticly hard and forcing you to change your entire playstile.

@@system_ai9248 Opinions are opinions. Yeah, she can be frustrating at times but she seems like the perfect final boss for me. She tests you on dash timings, double jump timings, nail slashes, soul management, platforming, and multi-tasking, and heal timings. She is the only boss that really tested me and pushed me to my absolute limits. While the fight does feel like a loose wagon at times, whenever I died, it always felt like it was my fault. I mistimed my dash, I got too greedy with my hits, or I wasted all my soul trying to heal and was left with one h.p. I personally have a deep respect for this boss for testing me in a way no other video game really did. I don't really get the "change in playstyle" argument though. If anything she asks for you to master the game's mechanics that were already built and set up by the game. But yeah, I see why you might think that. The fight's really rough and waaaaay harder than her predecessors. Can we agree though that Pure Vessal is one of the best bosses in the game though?

There are two indie reps I see getting in. The knight, and Quote from Cave Story. The knight has a large fan base, plenty of requests, and Hollow Knight is extremely popular right now. They would probably not get in due to being too new, and lack a history. This was why shovel knight never became a character. Quote is from a game with a small fan base, but a devoted one. Cave Story is hailed as the grandfather of all indie games, and opened up a new age of indie games. Quote has the history and is one of the best representation for indie games. Despite how old it is, it still gets remastered for every console generation. Cave Story was one of the first games released on switch. The only thing holding Quote back from being in smash is the lack of popularity.

I LITERALLY SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THIS. *Ahem* I've been advocating for this characters inclusion in smash ever since ultimate came out, as Hollow Knight is my all time favorite game besides BoTW. And this moveset couldn't be better! Although I would've given the Knight at least average aerial base movement, and initial acceleration in the air being a bit higher to show some of the aerial prowess our Ghost can have in the game. That, and I would've had the final smash instead start with the Vessel lashing out at half a stages worth of opponents, before merging with their siblings and giving rise to the Shadelord, who would tear assunder and devour their enemies! But besides this, and a dedicated pallet swap referencing Hornet with a red cloak, this hit the head of the nail for me! Soul meter, charm references, bait and punish gameplay, pogo down air, and a polarizing moveset that balances big commital attacks with quick combo friendly ones! It really made me so happy to see a concept for this character be made, and here's to hoping there's at least a spirit event, or mii swordfighter costume of our Knight.

It wouldn’t cover the back of the character, so if they attempt a mix up he would be completely vulnerable, and as in your video, it would be a very commitment based option. 2. Because I’m my hypothetical version, up smash was great nail, I originally thought of forward smash as the dash charge. But when you made it a dash attack, I realized how much sense that made, and changed it to long nail, maybe a thrust similar to Luigi or byleth (obviously not the same range as byleth, but you know) or a long nail slash that doesn’t really cover air. 3. From there, I think the only differing thing is the knights recovery. In my mind his specials were akin to that of robin, or as you said, hero. Having all of his moves that rely on soul be special moves made sense to me, and it would be easier to think about it. With a smash attack being able to completely run out, while making an interesting approach option for the opponent if they realize that knight can’t up smash, it seems strangely disjointed from the other specials. 4. Continuing it off of three, howling wrath’s and it’s counterpart that I can’t remember the name of at the moment, his recovery would be similar to ness, Lucas or yoshi, where as his second jump has more maneuverability and reaches farther, extending his combo game but also being risky if the combo leaves off stage. That might make him to restricted to the stage, which wouldn’t be fun, but in the game monarch wings went farther than the normal jump so it made me think of yoshi, having some sort of super armor to make his recovery better, but that is an iffy thing. 5. The last thing was just a random idea, but since in this hypothetical move set, his dodge would be the shade cloak since it wasn’t used yet in this version of the knight. Just a fun little thing. Again, I want to be clear, I’m not saying that my version is better or anything, I just wanted to put it out there, and maybe see what you think about it. I very much hope I didn’t sound pretentious or condescending or anything like that, if I did I apologize sincerely. On another note, what are you most excited about for silk song? Great video, by the way. Much more in-depth with the weight, and running speed and frame data than I thought it would be.

Love the design. As you say, the source game is so perfect for a platform brawler that the moveset practically writes itself. I love the way you worked in the Thorns of Agony for the NAir. The only things I would change from your design are the grab animations (I think you could make use of the void tendrils there), the Up B (I would put Crystal Heart there and move the Shade Cloak to the roll animation), and the BAir (I saw a video by AranOcean that suggested this could be a place for the Dream Shield, and I agree that would be better than a custom animation)

Have you played Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night? I'd be interested to see your take on Miriam, the main character from that game. I haven't played much of Hollow Knight (I've only just gotten the dash attack), but I thought the moveset was interesting, and seeing how many attack and movement options you get later on (along with what appears to be an automatically recharging soul gauge? Maybe I misinterpreted what I saw in some of the footage) is encouraging.

As you unlock more charms (basically little relics that grant you specific abilities/passives), you do gain other ways to generate soul, though the main source will always be dealing damage

@@eonemerald9495 Thanks! Hollow Knight finally clicked for me after I got a few upgrades, so I managed to unlock one of the extra soul gauges (or whatever they're called - the ones where you have to get three items to make a little circle appear next to your soul gauge). Since then, I've got the double jump and the slam attack, and I'm now in the Deepnest.

This is the third video I've seen about Hollow Knight being in smash and I notice the ideas presented are pretty much the same with slight variation.

It would also be really cool if you got a random charm each time you take a stock that applies a modifier to the knight like in Hollow Knight. A mechanic that replicates the Knight having to kill their shade after dying would be really cool too, but instead of regaining geo they would regain use of their acquired charms

Another cool idea: if you fully charge your up-smash, Howling Wraiths turns into Abyss Shriek (its upgraded form). It costs a bit more soul than Abyss Shriek (due to balancing reasons), but it'd be a VERY reliable kill move

I think that one of the specials(down b, b) should be a option selection(like shulk) where you get to equip a charm for a little while, u would have the option for: mark of pride for extra range, quick slash for better frame data, mark of strength for extra damage, and soul eater for extra damage on specials. They would last for about 15 - 20 seconds each and have a cool down like shulk

I liked the way you put it by choosing if you want the shadow version (upgraded version) of the spell or the normal one but I would like to literally translate the feeling of the game. B: focus/blast. Like in the normal game if you tap the buttom you shoot the vengeful spirit and if you hold it you can focus. You can heal 4% for each spell you could have made (so youll only heal up to 12% at max and will be vulnerable while healing like HK) and have the mushroom charm (meaning that if the opponent let you heal the first 4% he'll have to face the dps from the spores) Side-B: This is the dash (a little weird ik). While you are dashinh you are invencible cuz you become a shadow. This has the shadow charm so you can hit whatever. You can do the dash in the ground every time you want and once in the air. Here is the catch: like in game the shadow form has cd. Some black particles will appear meaning you dont have the shadow dash whenever you use it. The other thing is that if you hold the side B and you are touching the floor or an wall you can use the charged dash (dont remember the name). The charging does dmg to the foes that step in the cristals (so you need to attack from the top) and unlike the game you deal greater dmg and wont recieve dmg if you hit it. The up B and down B could perfectly work like you said or could just be like in game: the better version of the spell is the one that is used.
