Which Size Of Knight Is Better?

[@algorithmic_morality]

ACTUALLY that’s why they had to make an entire other game for hornet! She was supposed to be an additional character in hollow knight (as well as zote) but Hornet is much larger than the knight and wouldn’t have been able to maneuver as well, thus silksong was conceptualized and then put in development until the year of 3070

[@AxeZie]

Wait they reduced development time by 30 years ?!?!?

[@algorithmic_morality]

Yeah it’s surprising actually, silksongs playtesters are very good at finding the bugs!

[@zengaly3442]

Next challenge: big knight but you start with shape of unn equipped. Can they do it? Or is big slug also too big?

[@porgeporgeporge]

well you’d get stuck at the same spot in king’s pass because you have to jump up into that gap, but it’d be a fun experiment for the rest of the game

[@forrestib]

you're also smaller when dashing so could try starting with shade soul and crystal dash

[@awesomefortnite]

i was just thinking about that, with certain stuff like sou equipped, maybe there could actually be some routing. most likely, i’d say run dies because there’s probably no way you could navigate peaks, so you wouldn’t be able to get c-dash, but it’d still be a cool concept to see

[@forrestib]

@@awesomefortnite I'd say Crystal Heart is one of the things you should start with from the beginning in order to decrease the odds of hitting a hard roadblock. Crystal Heart, Shape of Unn, Shade Cloak (I said Shade Soul in my previous comment but I meant Shade Cloak), obviously benchwarp enabled, possibly Isma's Tear, Dreamgate, Dashmaster, Sprintmaster, Sharp Shadow (increases dash distance), Deep Focus to help Shape of Unn last longer, and enough extra charm notches to handle those movement assists from the beginning. You could say that would make the game too easy, but there will be added challenge from playing as Big Knight, as this video shows. And it's not really making the game "easier" if the alternative is the game being literally impossible.

Idea Find a way to change your size on the fly Optimize which room you use which knight in Speedrun the game using the optimal size for the different skips and room/boss clearers For example, rooms and bosses with lots of tight movement, small knight Rooms and bossed that just need to be dealt with as fast as possible, big knight And everything that is made harder by being either of them, you still have medium knight for!

Imagine this: smoll knight with beeg attacks

[@bastian_5975]

beeg knight is completely impossible, even if you had all upgrades. Nothing changes your collision hull's size (not even unn or dashing), so you're stuck with the size you start at. you can make it to resting grounds and crystal peaks, but you can't use the entrance above salubra to blue lake, and you can't use the entrance from the grey mourner area to the lift down to king's station. When you jump in water, you're permanently stuck, so no going to fog canyon, and you have a similar problem to greenpath when trying to enter fungal wastes. I even tried going up to howling cliffs, just in case skurry was wrong, but yeah, you're too big to fit there... it's not even possible if you use bench warp and have every single bench unlocked (except black egg obviously)... herrah is blocked behind a gap no matter where you're coming from. if you warp to the bench and then try to go directly to her, the gap is too small, and if you try to sit on the webbed bench, you get soft locked in the falling animation, and even if you ignore that YOU'RE STILL STUCK, and even the secret entrance that you have to (for most people) use monarch wings and crystal dash to get, the tunnel is too short for you... however, if somehow you were to just teleport to herrah and find a way to the other dreamers, as well as somehow do the white palace and queens gardens, the radiance is a literal piece of cake. all you do is spam everything you have and she dies so quickly (assuming you're using max nail upgrades and spells and charms) that she never even gets the chance to kill you

[@PeamThePanda]

quirrel calling you short has a different meaning now huh

[@photonic083]

The reason you feel slower and feel like you jump less while big and faster and jump higher while small is because your speed and jump height valued are the same, but when comparing it to the knight, it's lower/ smaller. For example, if you're big, you jump less times your body size, and the opposite is true for tiny knight. If you're small, your speed per second in terms of knight lengths per second is higher, the opposite is true for big knight
