next video gonna be speedrunner vs every person on the planet with every superpower
Dear Fireborn..you top worst metrovania game video came on and it reminded me of Mo:Astray a (last I saw) 15$ platformer adventure puzzle that I won in a humble giveaway by a clash of clans streamer...its amazing all around and GODBEAVERDAM is the theme a masterpiece... yet there's not too much on it on TH-cam..which is pretty sad...anyways thanks for another fun 1am watch 💜
I accidentally did an inventory drop on ps4
39:39
"I don't care about [The Hollow Knight], I've done Any%, I'm not scared of him, I'm scared of Fire!" - truly, a badass characterization.
This really feels like a quote out of a movie lol
And this is why we Stan shelby mhmm
"I fear no man. But that things...It scares me."
Then do Any Radiance
Fire is so strong that him just fighting HK can collaterally murder anyone in the same room as him :D
30:10 "There's no way he decided to fight watchers early"
I started mischievously giggling to myself when I heard that lol
aRe YoU SuRe aBoUt ThAt ?
I snorted and did a spit-take at the same time at that one.
Instantly when i heard that i went into the comment section searching for this comment
Dramatic Irony is a literary device in which-
The Hunter who kept getting killed by random enemies has my entire heart, she’s such a sweetheart i felt so bad every time she died
rip shelby
Super fun game, everyone played really well! The hunters’ new powers especially made things interesting, hope y’all play around with them more in future games!
I already have an idea planned up for something similar but cooler 😈 Thank you for the great edit as always Pye!
@@fireb0rn tried this with friends unfortunately they just camped repeatedly at hollow knight until I got unlucky and died still fun and was a blast but it was annoying
@@fireb0rn how many players is max for the mods you use?
@@fireb0rn hey i have this idea could you mabye have the hunters record mabye and then when the video is edited you could make it so like the hunters have a small panel in the bottom left corner or something that is their recording it just sounds kinda cool to be able to see what the hunters see
@@funlandbuilder Good idea but maybe it is better just to show some interesting moments from hunters pov?
One of the best ones yet. Reanimation in the same room was really fun. Could probably really abuse that power in the future! Ty for having me yet again ,❤
Thanks Shelby! Was a pleasure playing with ya.
It'd be helpful if there could be an overlay (perhaps in the top right) with
• the hunters’ names
• their appearances/skins
• (icons of) their superpowers
• the “who's talking” highlight (currently in the top left, but it could be combined into this)
It sounds like a lot of work, but it'd make it so much easier to keep track of who's who.
Thanks Ezra! I agree that would be helpful. I'll see what I can do for next time.
Could possibly link this with the old discord overlay people used in Among Us. Slight tweaks to those old things may make that record-able on its own “layer” so to speak.
@@fireb0rn you could do it like a few TH-camrs do with color coded subtitles for each person that talks
@@NeroGMZ love when TH-cam's do that
You could have the hunters change their profile pictures of Discord for the time of the run (or use Server profiles to change it in one discord only) to at least have the player's model in the "who's talking".
Haven’t fully watched one before so I don’t know if this is a running gag, but 2:32 “drop aggro” like they’re NPCs is hilarious
This was so much fun! Thanks for having me
Thanks so much for playing Hope!
Yoooo Hope it’s cool to see you here!
very proud of my partner for managing to interrupt a dream nail attempt
Oh my god. You're the ao3 author with the awesome Cynthia fics. Wh. This is an insane clashing of two things I'm interested in I can't believe you're in this video oh my goodness
hi hope, it's pancake! *wtaf* (affectionate)
Love how you got them with the watcher knights. I do think I prefered when the hunters didn't have their hands held so much by getting updates on everything you acquired, especially with dreamers for example. I always liked seeing them guess at how far along you were and lose over their own incorrect expectations.
Yeah, agreed. I've been using the system because I think it'll be needed for true ending with all the objectives around the map, but it's probably a bit too much info for any%.
@@fireb0rnCan't wait for a true ending version!
@@fireb0rn omg I would love to see a true ending hunter vs speedrunner
@@fireb0rn True ending vs hunters sounds divine, really looking forward to it if such a thing is in the cards!
The strat for the Hunters at the end is always just to stack at THK, I think introducing another win condition like getting Void Heart could help to make their decisions more involved towards the end
Then again, with the lack of a time limit, if they stack you just have infinite time to power up. You just don't often need to take it
Could be an idea for a timed run. Multiple win-cons for Fire, but the hunters just have to run out the clock.
@@gryphose1849 fireb0rn could get time limit once he collect all three dreamer in order to minimize stacking and unlimited power up. Or just go dream no more ending.
Imagine path of pain but you are chased by the hunters.
you really want fire to have to get 1800 essence and do white palace in a speedrunner vs hunters video?
@@Switchblade_01 yes
Sometimes I wish I could watch this from the hunters POV, or at least that their TH-cam channels were posted here.
Their twitch channels are in the description, you can watch the vod if there is one.
their YT channels are in the description too you just have to press their @
Some of the hunters have posted VODs in the past!
Yeah, seeing their perspectives in small on the side would be so fun, at the same time it would be harder to watch for mobile users and much harder to edit.
Maybe an uncut video, but with YT preferring shorter form content idk how many would even watch it.
@@ashoka7273 Multiple POVs is _definitely_ harder to manage/edit for multiple reasons, but if I'm ever provided with extra POVs in the future, I'd 100% be sure to include a few significant moments from their perspectives. It's all down to what Fire and the hunters think is best to include :)
I love how fireb0rn can fight a player with super speed and a player with invisibility at the same time, win without getting hit, and then just take damage from a random moss charger
Skitter assassinating Fire at he beginning was truly a great moment to watch.
Shelby - there’s no way he somehow decided to fight watchers early (foreshadowing)
34:27 I like how she says “no, no dream nail” it’s funny
She's like a mother. "no, no using dream nail until you've had your dinner- THEN you can go unseal the hollow knight and torture radiance"
I actually, for a very slight moment... thought he was gonna save that grub
23:14 I’m surprised this wasn’t blocked
Fire forgot who he was for a moment
*spoiler warning*
The sheer surprise when they found out you pre killed watchers was priceless, lol
I read the comment while waiting for vid to load by accident 😭😭
Oh I am so sorry for the spoiler
Can always edit in a spoiler tag and wall of spaces.
but yeah that was chef's kiss
Ya I forgot to do that...but ya though their priceless reactions to that was just gold
Especially with the foreshadowing of them saying "he definitely didn't pre-kill watchers"
“Well this is just unfair” - Hunter with their own special superpower
yeah but its fireb0rn
"Git gud." -Hornet
loll@@errortrossity
Fireb0rn is hornet change my mind@@errortrossity
Invisibility and reanimation both seemed like really helpful powers! It was fun to see how the strategies played out
That final fight was hella impressive.
How you just played around everyone and casually murdered thk, I stopped eating just out of mesmerization.
Still, fav moment from this video gotta be 11:30
"The room with the - the bunch of guys who go MRRAWR!"
As someone who has never touched Hollow Knight, this was entertaining, the text stating your intentions and thoughts really made it engaging (along with their communication ofc).
It was hard to separate the Hunters, like who's who. And at the start I thought it kept switching between Hunter and Speedrunner perspective.
Fire should get a power where he can disrupt the hunters' coms for 20 seconds with a cool down. That could lead to some fun interactions!
A fireborn hunter video and a skurry room randomizer video on the same day? It must be a good day
"I don't know, you run 112(%)."
"That doesn't mean I know the map"
is so real lol
13:59 the equivalent of two cartoon characters running into each other, scaring each other, and immediately running away
The watchers part had me rolling. "He beat watchers already?" Lol
Imagine him doing a video where he can't die but still takes damage without telling the hunters what the twist for the video is it'll be hilarious to hear their reactions
Would be a fun April Fools video, maybe next year
Something that could be fun is to ramp up the number of hunters to something insane like 20, but all of the hunters are casuals who don't know everything about the game, so you have a lot of knowledge to trick them, but you are hilariously outgunned.
“The guys that go (mushroom noise)” this was funny
the guys that go whaaaahhh!
i’d really like to see what would happen if hunters could also individually collect items just like the speedrunner, though spells and certain charms would probably be off limits
@30:41 God gamer moment. How the hell did you spot the hunter while C-dashing!?
This man has 6 Eyes
On the real tho, it was a lil sus, I was hoping for some subtitles to explain how he caught that but nope :(
Prob some kinda audio thing but tbh she looked so invisible to me when I paused fs. Basically just surprised fire ended up getting the drop on her there when she had the anti grab ambush 😭 to fire’s cred, bro was checking a lot of other rooms before sending the fights
@@patrickt101 he could literally see her mid dash
This was a good one, I feel like this team of hunters had the best head for routing yet and so had a very strong communication game whenever they caught you and at guessing where you might go next. Was fun to watch!
This is such a fun episode. I always love your speedrunner vs hunter and this one was particularly fun, seeing them catch you so quickly.
Fireborn sneaking watchers early was great. Everyone else realizing he snuck watchers earlier and being utterly gobsmacked was downright hilarious.
"Unless he ore killed watchers. But when would he have done that?"
So beautiful to watch
Best hunters vs speed runner yet! Everybody played real well and the hunters had some really good guesses. Phria especially- that DD dodge at 34:14 was sick.
I love this game type - and the superpowers add a really fun spin on things too! I hope in the future you can work out the bugginess with some of the powers, but even with it, there was some really fun interplay. Thanks for the video!
Thanks! And no worries, we know what caused most of the issues this time.
@@fireb0rn Glad to hear it!
The closest in gameplay I've seen is the SA-X mode PVP in AM2R, where you have 1 samus versus 1 or more SA-X.
Those clashes were way too clean 1:15
I love how all the hunters always suggest fire could do the isma skips as if he's going to even attempt those with ANY other option on the table lol
Love how they had no idea Watchers was one of the first things you did. While 30mins in they’re still expecting it at some point 😂
22:42
The grub was so happy that it was about to be saved, and then Fireborn turned around, and it fell back into depression 😢.
Including the loss at the start is a good way to show both how hard your goal is and how competent the hunters are. Hope that’s gonna happen more in the future!
The guys that go “WAAA” is my favorite description of Shrumal Warriors😆
There's something I've taken from this, and it was karmatic justice. What I mean is on the first one, the hunters played Fire for a fool, and in the second one Fire played the hunters for fools (if you get my drift).
Unless of course I'm wrong XD
The one with the hornet skin should have been made invisible as a reference to the fact that silksong is out, but nobody has been able to find it
I mean, 1-1 when it comes to superpowers, most balanced manhunt yet! Also Fire played crazy against THK
Speed runner vs hunter is always my favorite content!
11:33 "the guys that go 'mraah'" Lllloooll
This was SUCH a blast to watch! That moment in Peaks where they went "did he actually just save a grub?!" made me laugh out loud. Really, really fun video!
the pure display of power through knowledge of the game was amazing, i love watching speedrunners against hunters because the speedrunner strat becomes whole new tacticts and its very impressive, that was great !
I recently got Hollow Knight, and this video randomly popped up in my recommendation and is the first I've seen of you, but it wasn't until 27:05 that I realized this wasn't the first video of doing this. Luckily, that means I have a lot more content to watch now, really enjoyed this.
3:00
"These enemies know where i am better than I do."
13:16
"I have never in my life realized how much i relied on maps until now."
14:57
"Ow, i died." "I know I saw." "You don't have to rub it in"
26:19
"Y~ou~ son'na'va bì~tch"
Gotta be some of the best lines right there
Great concept and execution fire, as always.
Being invisible is such a good one for this type of video!
18:24 thank you for giving me flashbacks of accidentally doing Isma room backwards and never being able to avid skip again after that
I love the progression of this series, with the mods and the rulesets. I really enjoyed this run, can't wait for more! The commentary at the bottom of your mindset is so cool, well done
It's always enjoyable to see how adding or changing the rules forces everyone to strategize differently! Looking forward to seeing more iterations of the game in the future :)
i love it when the silly music kicks in cause its just fire doing the exact opposite of what the hunters are talking about
I think the most interesting moments are hearing the hunters suggesting locations and nailing where Fire is or is going lol
This was brilliant! A really great watch. Thanks for making this race.
Legit went “Wait, but you already killed the Watchers- *oh* ” That’s devious.
Really love your content lately dude, keep going!
Honestly this was amazing! I love the new stuff, it brings that fresh vibe back from when i first found your channel! Though honestly i feel like it's a bit cheap that the hunters can just camp the dreamers, i feel like there should be some incentive to chase you more!
Hunters: 36:16 “IM GOING TO hear him fighting watchers tho”
Fireb0rn: “You underestimate my power” *Kills the watcher about 20 minutes*
Hunters: “No he’s not fighting watchers HE WENT PAST IT, WHAT THE FRICK!
Other hunters: *Frantically panicking of when he defeated watchers*
Fireb0rn: “Outplayed, simply outplayed” lmao XD 💀💀💀
You hit the algorithm! Really awesome format (ik next to nothing about Hollow Knight) and it was a good ride the whole way through.
love that you provide context for what’s happening on the bottom! really helps enhance the experience :)
I love how absolutely baffled they were by Fire rescuing a Grub.
Completely threw them off, hilarious.
37:10 I’d just like to point out that he did A WALL CLING GLITCH, I didn’t even know that was humanly possible
not to be that person lol but wallcling storage is used deliberately in any%, most notably to fly across the entirety of blue lake ^^
was looking for this comment, what really got me was he did it on accident, god gaming xd
I’ve never watched you before but this episode was so entertaining! I was on edge the entire time and was rooting for you!
33:55 full health and 1000 geo, satisfying
You should get dream wielder to help with getting soul and dreamers when being attacked
I absolutely LOVED this!
If you ever make this run a bit smoother, that would be great!
ive missed this series, glad to see its back up with even more fun
I love these so much. the Hollow Knight community never ceases to amaze me with the creativity it has.
So I picked up hollow knight this week, I picked it up because of your hunter vs speedrunner series. I wanted to get a better idea of where you were and the routes you are taking. Thank you for such entertaining content, keep up the good work.
“He doesn’t know I’m behind him - well he might now im behind him now”
Always lovely to find more hunter vs. Speedrunner content.
I've been loving all the Sonic 06 music that you've been putting in these videos, it's great to vibe to while watching you run for your life from the hunters lol. Great videos, I hope you keep finding new ways to mix them up!
Its always fun watching their udder shock/surprise when you do something unexpected, amaizing video as usual
OMG Thanks you for this new video, gonna watch it as soon as I can
This video was a great addition to my Friday! Thanks as usual fire!
idk if you’ve done something similar to this before, but i’ve watched quite a few of these speedrunner v hunters vids and i think it’d be cool to add more win conditions (not as a new rule, but just for an episode yk) but something SUPER random like completing the cloth storyline for example. or beating all the colos. you could even do certain random achievements like getting all the grub (which you would need the collector for obv) or all mask shards, etc. just some win condition(s) that would make you have to go out of your way to do unnecessary shit. idk the logistics of that and if it would work or not but, could be a cool idea. really enjoying these videos!!!
(this is in addition to the beating thk win con)
More win conditions would definitely spice up the end game. Good idea, thank you kai!
@@fireb0rn maybe a win condition could be freeing all grubs and getting the charm for it?
Skitter’s reaction to fire pre-killing watchers was pure gold.
That always a good day when fireb0rn uploads
Can’t wait to watch another fire born vid
I love these manhunt videos soo much keep making more!
Loved the energy for this one, it was very tense and fun! The ruleset was balanced in a fun way and the hunters were good.
Epic. And thanks for showing the game where you lost - it’s refreshing to see that too.
Loving these vids so much
now imagine this but he had to do true ending instead
(btw well done, i really enjoy these videos and you do so well in them, keep up the great work!)
Imagine embrace the void💀
I'm sad that we didn't see much of skitter lol
pfff... nice one
Super powered Hunter versus 3 speed runners with the curse mod for the speed runners would be epic
It’s crazy watching you out speed the hunter with their game literally going at 1.5X speed…
31:03 felt like watching Qui gon vs Darth maul lmao
Hey I just want to tell ya that I really enjoy watching your videos, and that in general, I've become more and more interested in speedruns, how people devote themselves entirely to them and come up with incredibly sick tactics. make the spreadsheets and show, teach others how to do them, also I saw you was that I really enjoy watching your videos, and that in general, I've become more and more interested in speedruns, how people devote themselves entirely to them and come up with incredibly sick tactics. a Dommblade metroidvania, wich I will propablly give a try myself later on, anyway, you propablly hear about ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights, but if not i think you will also enjoy this game ^^
+I wanted tell ya thanks to watching your videos finally, about 4 months after falling out of rhythm, I'm starting to continue playing Hollow Knight again, and deffinitly gonna have some fun with it, thanks for your greate work.
Love the vid dude, first time and it’s a sub 😊
Wish we could get these monthly! Watching these multiplayer games is my fav thing to watch!
What just happened to the fireball skip… like… HUH!?😂
7:58 😊
You should have it so fire can hear the invisible person. Best if it was proxy chat.
