Massive shoutout to mossbag and team cherry themselves for the big dono's. Such an awesome community, such an awesome game. The run was a bit shaky but still good regarding there were 130k people watching him! I hope this was a window for people to look through and discover that HK is one of the best new games right now.

Excellent job @VysuaLs. It's a pleasure to watch you live - totally different environment to speedrun in and you were great! What an opening.

Loved the the couch - runner interaction in this run. Had a couple of good chuckles. Also the run itself was great.

Watching that play through of White Palace and how smoothly it was done you would think that I would feel terrible about my struggle through it. However it actually just reminds me that I'm really proud of the fact that I got through it as well as I did! I can't imagine how many tries that Path of Pain would take!

Best gdq segment, awesome runner, couch, crowd, game and donations! Hope more will be like this. Funny as hell too.

This was an amazing speed run! Well done! Really frustrating the crowd didn't give as much kudos as they should've!

That fight against radiance was a thing of beauty. I've never actually seen this game before, but now i kind of really want to play it for the story and to see more of the pretty art style, but I absolutely suck at challenging platformers so I guess I'll stick with watching amazing speedrunners

Recently started playing this. The run is just beautiful to watch from the beginning all the way to the end. Mad props.

What an absolute Awesome Run ! Loved it ! awesome lad !

Wow, perfect start off to a great event! Pleasent runner that did a great job with his commentary!

Ahhh Im so glad someone is speedrunning hollow knight again

Doma doma, doma doma doma

Just finished watching the SGDQ backlog, how wonderfully timed! Shame I cant watch live, cant wait for all the fulls to be uploaded :)

Amazing mastery of the platforming on display. Great job!

there are 3 freaken people on the dev team for this game, and 2 of them made most of the game at the beginning. just let that sink in.

That Radiance fight was a freaking butt-clencher.

You know the funny thing about this run? He skipped so much of the game that, if you've never played it before but want to after watching this, there's actually a LARGE amount of content that you'll still get to experience for the first time that wasn't spoiled. Hollow Knight is probably the best value for my money I've ever gotten from a single player videogame, and everything from the run to the couch to the donations were great. Well done.

Loved this run. Amazing player, couch and game. Good charity too.
