Who's the best Hollow Knight player? (I held a $250 Hollow Knight competition)

The Hollow-lympics was a small competition i held to celebrate Hollow Knight's 7th anniversary! The idea was for players to compete in a variety of challenges, and see who came out on top as the most well-rounded, skilled player! The results were quite fun, so I made a video out of it!
More vids coming soon i promise
00:00 - Intro
01:50 - The High Jump
05:37 - The King's Challenge
11:57 - The Test of Luck
15:07 - The Eternal Ordeal
18:39 - The Knight's Challenge
24:50 - Final Scores & Ending
If you'd like to participate and check out future stuff like this, definitely check out my Twitch stream and Discord server!

Great achievement man! Just sucks you've wasted all your future luck for a while 😂

[@Double2GD]

Was an absolute blast to participate in this! Was honestly very surprised I got 5th, didn't expect to get anywhere close to a prize.

[@sawjo7844]

Nice Job! There would’ve been no way I could competed with any of these lol :)

[@MyPetCactus]

Thanks for the competition blue!! Was super fun to grind these ‘categories’ :)

[@Sammi238]

Well done.

[@-Singularity-]

[@nathanbeer3338]

i guess the White Palace speedrunner got spiked on purpose only to show he isn't a robot.

[@riolu0037]

Just popping in to say that I am so happy for the chance that you have given us Blue. I have put an absolutely ungodly amount of hours those 4 days, it happened to pay off, but I just had lots of fun :)

[@Eisog]

Fun fact: the Baldur spir WR was broken the other day and is now at 24 consecutive spits before spitting a Baldur!

[@LiterallySoup]

14:00 ah yes, the beautiful sound of the geometry dash player in its natural habitat. Clearly the greatest achievement of the whole competition. Pretty sure Pilky grinded that for at least 10 hours lol

[@nbkarkat]

respect, lmao. have they ever tried full odds shiny hunting, they have the dedication

[@Miterme]

24 hour path of pain marathon (last one to die is the greatest player of all time)

[@catchara1496]

Goal is most consecutive completions?

[@nbkarkat]

that sounds bruuutal on the fingers

[@elical7304]

I considered entering this, but after seeing the insane feats achieved by these guys I dont feel too bad about not doing it... congrats to everyone involved tho and good vid blue! 💙

[@Icedonot]

Spoilers Scotty getting top THREE in every category is insane, absolutely dominated every category

[@jaxon3186]

thank you for saying spoilers I almost looked

[@henryhere]

Thanks for the spoiler warning, I clicked anyway and was still unhappy to have it spoiled

if it's spoilers then better shut up completely about it xd

Amazing Watch. I can't have been the only one to find out about the breakable wall in the white palace at 10:19

Womp womp

[@lunasleonas5937]

What a lovely video, thanks for posting! This was a super fun idea in the first place. Congrats Scotty and everyone who participated!

[@Sevorion]

Super cool idea for a video and really well executed! The Hollow Knight community never fails to impress me, everyone did so amazing

[@eyadikramy7674]

What a creative concept ! Great video ❤

[@Traveller281]

Man... hollow knight community is just the best. And full of crazy talented people. I've been wanting to make a hollow knight game/tournament/race thing for ages, so while I'll be probably forever stuck in planning phase because I don't have the means to turn those plans into reality, I'm happy at least someone is doing stuff like this. Congrats to all winners!

[@carterwest2559]

You should do the eternal ordeal ost with only your voice 😂. Amazing video by the way!

[@lunarcollect1280]

Yay! New handman vid! Hoo boy!

[@gkoble]

Absolutely amazing video !!

It took me way too long to figure out that the thumbnail is the Olympic rings.

[@nicholasbrion9449]

riolu?? uh oh wirtual is gonna show up soon

[@gkoble]

i don't think it's the same riolu lol, it could be but riolu00 has a youtube channel with some hollow knight runs and judging by the "italian record" on one of his videos i think it's not the tm riolu lol

[@riolu0037]

Hey, I'm the Riolu of the video. Tbh when I found out about Riolu in trackmania I was pretty angry that they put dirt in all of us Riolu enjoyers ahahah

[@gkoble]

@@riolu0037 LOL, my favourite pokemon is lucario, therefore i'm a riolu enjoyer (his evolution method is a pain in the ass tho)

[@aoifeanonymous]

Woah, crazy stuff from the runners, and great editing. Also love the rings on the thumbnail lol. That being said, is there a VOD?

[@zajmahal8589]

[@Liketaknoww]

This was really cool!!! What a fun idea!

[@mimmikyute]

I’m gonna cry. I did my own speedrunning of path of pain briefly and my pb of that alone is only a minute ahead of this guy doing the entire white palace.

[@mieszkomessing2569]

Hehe funny blue smiley posted :)

[@LFJ10.]

Cool! Keep up the good videos!

[@pentasquare]

How is Scotty so consistent in everything Also how is Flukenest so consistent in being broken in every single Goddam Patch.

[@kukukachu]

5:12 I love how the BVB changes to BTB as the name's leaving the screen. 17:24 audio messes up. Very nice.

[@hugoheintz]

That thumbnail is ✨CLEAN✨

[@jiggilowjow]

this was incredible!!!!

[@ManateaParty]

What a fun challenge!❤

[@Enan63.]

Fun run!

[@jennasloan396]

One time I played the Eternal Ordeal using the Flukenest charm, and thanks to the lingering hitboxes, the game itself started to slow down and eventually crashed.

[@harperhogg-gu6ph]

When moving the leaderboard for the high jump competition away, BVB changed to BTB. Dunno if anyone else noticed this but I thought it was pretty funny.

[@DemonKingCozar]

I think zVyper could've gotten higher if they participated in the first challenge. (They might've but the video made it seem like they didn't)

[@CBT_MASTER1]

if you do something like this again some time, make sure to add an extra creativity award of some sort to increase the amoumt of crazy shit we see lol.

[@user-uo9wd4vo7v]

Yeah Riolu doesn't remember me of a famous trackmania player. Surprised he didn't win the shriek pogo in slow motion...

[@riolu0037]

I have 3 literal hours of uncut and unedited attempts only at shrogo. But I get where you are coming from ahahah

[@Gooberpotomous]

King's Challenge was so epic. I almost thought tool assist, but then was happily proven wrong. That's what it looks like when you're just that good!!

[@antikurai-bf2uw]

Got gang covered, Here's a recipe for making croissants: Ingredients: 1 ½ cups milk (lukewarm) ¼ cup brown sugar (packed) 3 ¼ teaspoon active dry yeast 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (up to 4 cups may be needed) 1 ½ teaspoons salt 1 ½ cups unsalted butter (cold) Instructions: In a bowl, combine the lukewarm milk, brown sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast is activated and foamy. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Shape the dough into a ball. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size. While the dough is rising, prepare the butter block. Place the cold unsalted butter between two sheets of parchment paper and pound it with a rolling pin until it forms a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Chill in the refrigerator until firm. Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Place the chilled butter block in the center of the dough rectangle. Fold the dough over the butter, sealing it completely. Roll out the dough into a long rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Fold the dough into thirds, like a letter. This is the first turn. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and roll it out again into a long rectangle. Fold the dough into thirds. This is the second turn. Repeat the rolling and folding process for two more turns, for a total of four turns. This will create the flaky layers in the croissants. After the final turn, wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the chilled dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into triangles. Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle tightly towards the tip to form a croissant shape. Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet. Let the croissants rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until puffy. Brush the croissants with an egg wash (1 beaten egg + 1 tablespoon water). Bake the croissants in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and flaky. Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Enjoy your homemade croissants!
