Hello and welcome to Hollow Knight speedrunning!

You may notice that there are a few category proposals on these forums, and otherwise not much activity. This is because most of our discussion about meme categories happens in the #misc channel of the Hollow Knight Speedrunning Discord! (There is an invite link at the top of the page.) A few of the newer categories had no forum activity on this website at all.

When you join the Discord, find the #welcome channel and check the pinned messages for resources and answers to frequently asked questions.

Another note: we highly recommend running some existing categories before exploring the creation of a new one. Recording and submitting a valid speedrun will give you a better perspective on the full process.

Hi there! Given the number of categories that already meet Sly, I doubt this would garner too much interest. If you are interested in short categories that don't leave Forgotten Crossroads, I highly recommend 4 Mask Shards: https://www.speedrun.com/hkmemes#4_Mask_Shards (this one also meets Sly, and in fact buys something from him at the end :D )

I am missing a lot of notifications as well. This includes one of my recently verified submissions!

By WotW, do you mean Ori 2: Will of the Wisps? If so, this is not the game you are looking for. Otherwise, I assume "wotw" was a typo for "with". If you are interested in Hollow Knight speedrunning, start by taking a look at some guides and joining the discord. Both linked on the left sidebar

It looks like folks are into this. I'm not a mod here, but

  • If you want the runs to be valid per the game rules, start your recording at the title screen, so the verifier can see the patch number and check that there are no mods installed
  • Use the autosplitter/load remover for Hollow Knight: https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/guide/cg9vl
  • If this were a category, timing would almost certainly end at the "Brooding Mawlek (boss)" autosplit. Select that, and check the box for "end-triggering autosplit". Watch when it splits here: ; it's basically on the last hit.

I think following all these conventions would (a) give consistency to compare amongst yourselves and (b) make a unified case for mods to add it

Again, I'm not a mod, but that's how I would go about advocating for a new category

I'd highly recommend 4 mask shards: https://www.speedrun.com/hkmemes#4_Mask_Shards

It's a very fun category! It includes brooding mawlek AND saving grubs :D

I haven't seen any interest in this in #speedrunning in the Hollow Knight discord. If enough interest is generated, and maybe like 2-3 people record timed runs, then the mods might add it

(It would also have to be real-time because the autosplitter/load remover doesn't work with the beta, which is annoying)

United Statesslaurent4 years ago

Autosplit will not work for any console runs, unfortunately. You'll have to manually split at those points

Welcome welcome! Feel free to join the Discord (link on the sidebar) and ask more questions in #speedrunning

Does this website support having different badges for different categories within the same game?

United Statesslaurent4 years ago

It's a neat idea that I've heard brought up before. As with any category, it wouldn't become an official category unless at least a few people record some runs and demonstrate to the mods that there is legitimate active interest.

Before pushing for a new category, I strongly recommend doing some runs on existing categories! It will get you used to the process of having a run timed, recorded, and verified, all of which will give you a new perspective.

There are resources here, on the main Hollow Knight board, and in the Hollow Knight Discord (linked from here) that help beginners get involved. Best of luck
