in all seriousness though, I thought you had to show the main menu before loading in for it to be accepted or else it could be a seeded run or something? I'm not familiar myself, but that's what I remember hearing.
@@kingmaple9252 yeah on rewatching it now, I see that we see that. I don't know why I thought it wasn't there. Maybe TH-cam had a derp when I went back to the start, or I dragged it back only to a few pixels along the bar instead of all the way to the start. Sorry. It wasn't an attack, anyway, it was just meant as a curious question, but yeah, don't know what happened there then!
The fact that you are a hk player listening to celeste music while you speedrun and I am a celeste player listening to hk music while I golden is very funny to me.
I haven't watched a speed run of this since Vysuals in AGDQ and I was so amazed by all of the new stuff you implemented. The "fast walking" glitch, the amazing ascent through Crystal Peak, that was all just unreal to see. I'm currently doing my first Steel Soul run and was really inspired by this.
I’m replaying this game for the third time. It’s so good and this run is mad impressive. 180 hours on Nintendo switch never beat last pantheon, second run on pc 10.5 hours for normal play through and 20.5 for beating pantheon + 112%. On third playthrough now and looking at speed runs is insane. Mad props to you savage runners.
Just starting to get into speedrunning HK and while my goals are far more modest than this, seeing this level of skill and dedication displayed is such a motivator and a joy. GGs, beautiful work.
Just started playing hollow knight 2 weeks ago I'm 50 hours in and still only 75% of the game (taking my sweet time) so to see this is crazy your skill is next level sh*t.
so the main requirement with this trick is that you have to be on the patch 1221. once you do that (guides are in the hollow knight discord on how to), i would recommend that when practicing this trick, to turn on hitboxes, you can do this when you have the speedrunning tool debug mod installed, and you have to upslash through the floor to hit the lever. if you have questions about how to do this stuff i would recommend asking in the discord they can help you with a lot of things. oh btw you can join hk discord by pressing the lil discord icon on speedrun.com in the hk section. hope this helps
not a fan of this game nor speedruns but holy molly this was SOMETHING. congrats man, wishing you even more world records, your skill and dedication will surely provide it
so since i did a quitout at lurien that saved about .3, it produced a visual glitch that said i didn’t have the dreamer, but in actuality i did as i could still open the black egg temple
to be honest with you i don’t even know how i keep it at the first timestamp. i dash as early as the game lets me and sometimes it doesn’t register me on the ground so i think thats why that strat works. for the second one it works because i start touching the wall before i go into the transition. therefore, i keep the state of being on the wall while falling through the air and then i jump on the first frame i can, allowing me to keep wcs. hope this helped a little bit.
Telling a wr sr how to play the game as if he doesn't know what's faster. 🤣 As the other person said, you need wings to reach it and getting them would hardly be faster than just doing the bit normally would it?
im 10 months late (sorry) but that hollow knight fight is how the npcs think i killed him, little do they know how many times i saw that bench outside the arena LOL
This is insane! Almost unbeatable by a human! By the way, would it be faster to get the relic in king's station instead of the other one. Plus, you buying the station anyways so what would be fastest? Saving the grub in beast's den might have lost 100ms but it did wish you good luck
so yeah we used to do the kings station relic but now this re route to here you get the different relic (found by me!!!) saves 15 seconds. you also can’t buy the stag early cause you don’t got geo
that's crazy gg
hi fire
hi fire
We are waiting for a new reaction
I don't think you should be supporting this guy Fire, he saves grubs.
Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with rats. And rats make me crazy.
love that ending. "What do I do now? Quit?"
GG well done
hi I just wanted you to know I love ur videos the hollow knight tutorials were so helpful
it gives me tips to be harder for the knights who try and enslave my kin
Yeppers
lmao classic moment
As a member of the speedrun moderating committee, we've determined this run to be invalid because you never talked to elderbug and made him sad
:(
No worries, he got him the flower in NG+.
in all seriousness though, I thought you had to show the main menu before loading in for it to be accepted or else it could be a seeded run or something? I'm not familiar myself, but that's what I remember hearing.
@@thesuperginge1348we see that though what are you on

7 months later and this run is still ahead of 2nd by 15 seconds. I well and truly don't think this is beatable by a meaningful margin. GG
The fact that you are a hk player listening to celeste music while you speedrun and I am a celeste player listening to hk music while I golden is very funny to me.
lmfao
The hollow knight fight was so damn clean, that was art.
after i died to him in steelsoulmode i agree
Ok can we talk about that save in the Crystal Heart gauntlet? Holy cow that was a top notch run save.
yeah i got really scared for a sec lol
Mom: We leave in 35 minutes
Skate_King: Lemme quickly beat this videogame...
The phrase that awakens our greatest side
The fireball sequence when HK was in the air was beatiful, nice job man. Shoutouts from Brazil
Agora que eu vi que tem um BR aqui.
um brasilieno brasileiro embrasiliado, UAUUUUUU
World record AND you saved the Grub in Deepnest, awesome work!
Insane run, that THK was crazy. Congrats, dude!
congrats skate! 18:09 is absolute gigachad
ok yeah, that dodge was absolutely insane.
Seeing this guy obliterate hornet is really therapeutic after losing to the both of them over 20 times
As hornet would say, "git gud"
Glad I was able to see this live as it was insane! GG congrats man!
19 second time loss is insane. Sub 30 is starting to seem more and more possible.
not even close but thanks!
holy shit that was the most insane hollow knight record I've ever seen (even more than pest's 32:16). Congrats on officially killing any%
Not much to say tbh, just absolutely fantastic run. Congrats skate, you deserve it so much
This video changed my life. I have learned so much from you. Teach me your ways.
@@walterkim6679 im so glad to hear, i will teach you everything i know at the low cost of 30k a year
This is the way
Вітаю друже зі встановленням нового рекорду та першим місцем в головній категорії цієї неймвірної гри!
GGs! Its great to see how the run has evolved over the last couple years
Просто ЗНИЩУЄШ друже. Дуже радий за тебе і твій рекорд.
Insane. Gratz on the run that is still holding 1st place to this day, learnt the run off this awesome world record
OMG As a fan of Hollow Knight, this video is very emotional. GG skate!!
That was insane, congratulations for the run and hope you still do amazing things!
Insane fkin run, was amazing to watch, I feel so inadequate as someone who casually finished this just yesterday. Kudos to you good sir!

absolutely insane run, congrats!!
I only got into hollow knight a couple months ago and loved it instantly. Well done!
I did almost as good at my speed run , and I even took my time! It was 35h , but still!
This run was a day before my birthday, pure entertainment, after more than a year, congrats!!
it's been a year and the world record is to this day undefeated that's crazy
Just starting to get into speedrunning HK and while my goals are far more modest than this, seeing this level of skill and dedication displayed is such a motivator and a joy. GGs, beautiful work.
Amazing stuff! Skipping the 3x straigt to the 2x. Congrats!

Yooooooo, this one is for the HK history books mate! Well freaking done!
How did u open the door on the 17:09 ? I'm trying to speedrun HK following ur steps but i cant get how did u do that.
Excelent video btw!

my friend jake got a sub 30 speed run yesterday on his nintendo switch
gj jake
Man, I can only get sub 1:15...
Yeah that was me
YOU ARE A LEGEND, Skate you have a spectacular movement, teach me 😅, hugs from Brazil
not a fan of this game nor speedruns but holy molly this was SOMETHING. congrats man, wishing you even more world records, your skill and dedication will surely provide it
Ohh, so THAT is how you get Speedrun 2
I immediately knew I had to watch the whole vid when I heard mirror temple b side
Amazing run, GGs!
Congratulations this is awesome
the celeste music over this makes it a million times better tbh
the hollow knight fight was UNREAL. congrats.
no way anyone is beating that like that was almost perfect
well deserved, congrats and gg
you too bud
Current patch record holder and 1221 world record holder at the same place
i just now watched this, ur the goat ggs dude
absolutely insane skate, huge congrats frr
Nice run.
28:42 also am I crazy or should Lurien be gone in this cutscene?
Monomon is the Teacher
Lurien is the watcher
tbh idfk too💀
so since i did a quitout at lurien that saved about .3, it produced a visual glitch that said i didn’t have the dreamer, but in actuality i did as i could still open the black egg temple
@@skate_king Thanks for answering. Congrats on still holding the WR btw.
GG, I know how much the 3x has haunted you and you straight up skipped it, the goat of hk is here. Once again massive GG
Congrats, amazing run
This is awesome, congrats!!
no words. congrats. you won.
Close to no mistakes. Next time someone says the words "human limit" I will not believe them ever again. Huge GGs skate💙
At 13:37, how do you keep the wallcling storage even after you've left the lake? And at 15:36, how the hell do you even get the wallcling storage lol
to be honest with you i don’t even know how i keep it at the first timestamp. i dash as early as the game lets me and sometimes it doesn’t register me on the ground so i think thats why that strat works. for the second one it works because i start touching the wall before i go into the transition. therefore, i keep the state of being on the wall while falling through the air and then i jump on the first frame i can, allowing me to keep wcs. hope this helped a little bit.
@@skate_king Thank you this definitely helps!
you know this will be cinema when the streamer is playing while listening Celeste OST
That run is just insane !! GG
When he started crying with emotion at the end I got goosebumps
Awesome run. Huge congrats.
Cheers, Skate.
What a run you're so good
I love how you broke the sign just in case you might get to see the Menderbug later.😁
always a chance!
Crazy run my dude GG
Huge congrats on that massive accomplishment
0:35 you can hear a very faint music in the background, it's from a game called celeste
I love how he beat Hornet in 20 seconds. Just shows how easy she is if you play the game alot.
you're so goated gg king
you violated the hornet 💀 gg tho well done👍
that thk was insane. gg on winning any% nmg
Last year I saw a humanly impossible Any% NMG TAS that was only 2m25s faster than this :-O Amazing achievement!
In the nest with Herrah you can save a lot of time just jumping in the right wall before they catch you and going right for the dreamer's room
nah u need monarch wings to reach that skip
Telling a wr sr how to play the game as if he doesn't know what's faster. 🤣
As the other person said, you need wings to reach it and getting them would hardly be faster than just doing the bit normally would it?
that rescue from the fungal wastes in the explosion was sinister
Even with that much of time loss, he managed to get the WR. Congrats, man!
Congrats that's crazy
congrats bro!
God, he's playing my favorite game to the songs from my 2 favorite game
27:54 Could someone explain how that double dash + jump mid air without monarch wing was possible? @@
Its a Bug, its called wallcling storage i think
You be making so many cuts gg!!
amazing! , i came to pick some tricks for my gameplay
that’s an insane time homie, dang
Holy fuck that watcher knights fight, I still struggle after like 200 hours playing this game
so nobody is talking about the celeste ost in the background?
You listen to celeste music during your run, this explain the wr !!
THE GOOOOOOAAAAAT
Holy crap, NICE. Also, i love your cat
ggs man, u r the true god gamer, (you and fireborn)
The best HK speed run I have is beating falsekight in under 19 minutes of starting the game
im 10 months late (sorry) but that hollow knight fight is how the npcs think i killed him, little do they know how many times i saw that bench outside the arena LOL
That thk fight 😮 just wow
What does it mean that best possible time was 31:23? It seems like he could have shaved more than a second off if he didn’t make any mistakes at all
15:28 double dash?
Quick question : why take damage before mantis claw at 10:45 ?
It let's you quit to main menu faster
how you do 17:14?, im trying it but i cant do it, its because it is in chinese or something like that?
It only works on old patches
@@WhyWert thx u
Well, GG 24 second faster than the 2th that’s huge.
WTF. just wtf that THK was out of this world. Hell all of this was insane
5 more subs till 1k, you got this
This is insane! Almost unbeatable by a human! By the way, would it be faster to get the relic in king's station instead of the other one. Plus, you buying the station anyways so what would be fastest?
Saving the grub in beast's den might have lost 100ms but it did wish you good luck
so yeah we used to do the kings station relic but now this re route to here you get the different relic (found by me!!!) saves 15 seconds. you also can’t buy the stag early cause you don’t got geo
You are fucking insane for doing this, GG and GL with te
G DOUBLE G perfect run
