  • Having opinions is all well and good, but what if we could know what everyone's opinion was, all at once? Like, using a poll, or something? Well, that's exactly what I did, to answer the question on nobody's mind - who is the community's favorite boss in Hollow Knight?

      The reason they’re all so fun is probably because the devs could focus on making the fight as fun as possible since when you fight most of them your supposed to have completed the game, thus they can focus less on how the boss fits in progression and more on how much fun it is to fight it

Kind of the thing with brackets is the rankings get more accurate the closer to the finals you get, but comparing a left boss to a right side boss is never considered. I like collector and I think many do, but it isn’t collector as a boss, it’s collector vs the other arguably better three choices.

      Not a lot of people take the time to beat her and master her moveset at all due to how hard it is. It also doesn't help that Abs Rad takes forever to beat in the pantheon(still working on it baby). Not everyone is willing to practice for hours and hours just to get an in-game achievement and a cool cutscene. Once you actually get her down I think both fights can be really fun and intense, but getting to that point takes FOREVER.

    My boi Xero got MASSACRED🥶 I thought he was a cool intro to the dream bosses, had kind of an interesting backstory thingy, and his design and voice queues were kinda cool too. And the music fits so well in his fight in my opinion haha. Not even close to one of my favorites, but they did him dirtyyyy😂💀

    I think it’s pretty ridiculous that neither Radiance forms got out of the first round. For me Regular radiance or absrad is easily my 4th favourite fight in the game. I can understand not liking one of them, but if you dislike both I really recommend trying them again with a spell build.
    Then there’s GPZ and Sly which should have made it out too, but that’s alright I guess.

    The Mantis Lords are a boss fight without flaws. For me and a lot of players, it's the moment Hollow Knight both clicks and opens up. Their position in the game is perfect and the fact that the Sisters or Battle make that extremely refined fight even tighter, past the point of a diamond, whilst still being fair is a testament to their design.
    Nightmare King Grimm is the best, though.

    • @GarryDumblowski

      I think the main reason Sisters of Battle hit hard was because by the time you reach P5, you've kind of grown used to all of the bosses in this game, as technically, you expect to just do all of the previous pantheons in a row. Sisters of Battle, though, is meant to be a curveball, showing you that you can't predict the Pantheon of Hallownest.

    So this is kind of the folly of brackets, because their setups and victories can change if some were rearranged from the start. This works if you're trying to figure out the #1 boss (imo should have been between NKG and Sisters, but we all knew one of them would win) because no matter who it's up against it'd win all the way to the end, but when it comes to the quarter through final rounds (even 2nd place) the rankings are iffy, and can go awry even in the early bracket stage, if you're trying to order rank them via how far they made it.
    For example, if Broken Vessel and Sheo were switched so that Sheo was against Sly - Sly would very likely have won that (not by a huge margin) - and yet Broken Vessel got destroyed by Sheo. Imo this would put Sly in the Quarterfinals at the very least, maybe took 4th overall unless he faced Broken Vessel again (I agree with you, I am surprised he lost to Broken Vessel, but I think Sly was faced against the lore instead of the fight itself whereas with another opponent like Sheo first, people would have to actually consider Sly's fight more since Sheo is less fan-lore-ey, and such considerations may have affected a future matchup in his favor too - just speculation though).
    As for the final 4 rankings, I feel like people would pick NKG for at least 2nd place over Pure Vessel, but PV had an easy match against Sheo followed by an impossible match, while NKG had what should have been the finals match with the Sisters during semis.
    I think the rest of the matchups are fine because they are somewhat negligible or marginal when weighed against each other (Radiance and Absolute's biggest problems are getting to either one - people get tired of fighting HK every time they need to try against Radiance again, and then the whole entire thing with Absolute), but the standout things I'm iffy about are the above mentioned things. Maybe it's just me but I feel the community would also agree (Pure Vessel seems to be considered harder while NKG is better I think, though the first time fighting NKG he is generally considered harder, he's more adaptable and easier to read, becomes easier in consecutive fights while PV sort of levels out a tier higher on consistent difficulty with consecutive fights - NKG is easier to read after enough exposure, basically). Though I might be wrong about that. I am curious if you were to put the final 4 here against each other in their own bracket, and ranked them based on their %s in that particular match. I imagine it would be Sisters(1) - NKG(2) - PV(3) - Sheo(4) in that case.
    Before the vid, my thoughts on a top 4 would have been:
    NKG (1) -> Sisters (2) (I am _slightly_ surprised Sisters won even though I knew it would be close) -> PV (3) -> Sentinel Hornet (4) (figured 4th would be more a fan favorite thing, less about how good a fight it was vs some potentially better ones, but of the two Hornet fights would still obviously pick the better one - to be honest I'm surprised she didn't make it here, and lost it to Sheo in the end?).
