Is there actually no one who D-Ranked secrets of the world? At least I didn't find anyone...

Is it even possible?

How did you do an eric midair? Is this some kind of "hit the enemy and on the first frame, jump"- thing?

Also these dive bombs look very smooth.

Actually no one caring about swap mode speedruns except for like five people.

Wow, very nice explanation, now I know it! But, what about instaturns with the gun? It doesn't seem really consistent with neutral shot and fast fall?

Can someone explain "Curve Manipulation"?

Ok, I'll try. Thank you all for responding!

That's inconsistent. What is if the best run does some kind of frame perfect trick in timing and you will not know what the timing is? It is mostly helpful to watch current best runs to figure out what to do, but only if you already know what to do and how to do it. Is there maybe a guide in the internet somewhere? I didn't find anything...

Hello, could someone add a guide for how to speedrun IL and full game (what's the route, strategies, glitches) ? I would be very thankful for that. It just makes newcomers more comfortable when starting to speedrun this amazing game.

You are a TAS-machine.

Thanks a lot! I thought it would be possible with map storage, like the other actual new glitch I found where I left the instructions here: https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/forums/h4o4y

Maybe that glitch will be helpful some time. Thanks for responding!

I don't have footage of it, so here are the instructions:

You need to sink into the water with inventory drop. After you start sinking, you need to cast a spell. I like using D-Dark. Right after you do the spell, tap left or right to cancel out of it. Since you didn't let the Knight to sink very far, you can jump out of the water holding your jump button. The Knight will have some shining ball in his face and he will start ascending.

Yes, I did not see that thread. I was not complaining about "seeing the same instaturns ...", I just wanted to emphasize, that a bit of "New Things", like mods would be nice to have. I did not mean to critisize the fact, that we use the same strats over and over again. I DO LIKE THAT.

I did not know this website is for base-game only, since there was a category extension for CYOP. Everything is clear now. Thanks for responding!

So we would just need more demand for a potential mod category to get official. Good to know and makes sense. We just need some more people to start wanting and demanding that stuff!

So it is basically some kind of "tradition" to do base-game only. And since this "tradition" is followed by everyone, there is no demand for these mods. We will probably just stick to the base-game for the next years and we will see the same instaturns, the same ghost skip and the same erics over and over again, until someone beats the game in three and a half seconds.

Some full game mods literally feel like a DLC for the game with additional characters, like the Noise Update. The only difference is that it is fan made. It would be nice to see other people playing full game mods and finding new skips for different characters. I don't think McPig will release another major update. The mods already add all the "missing" characters, as well as bonus content.

Ok, got it. Thanks for responding!

Wouldn't it be cool to make a category for speedrunning Pizza Tower with different characters (if it's possible) ?

Thank you very much for your help, it works now! But do you know why my In-Game time when using pause spam doesn't count correctly? I thought maybe it's the lag? Because i can't do Floor Five Skip even when using a real timer.
