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.

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".

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

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.

13:59 the equivalent of two cartoon characters running into each other, scaring each other, and immediately running away

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!

"I don't know, you run 112(%)." "That doesn't mean I know the map" is so real lol

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.

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!

"Unless he ore killed watchers. But when would he have done that?" So beautiful to watch

I think the most interesting moments are hearing the hunters suggesting locations and nailing where Fire is or is going lol

Fireborn sneaking watchers early was great. Everyone else realizing he snuck watchers earlier and being utterly gobsmacked was downright hilarious.

The guys that go “WAAA” is my favorite description of Shrumal Warriors😆

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.

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 😂

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!

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

I mean, 1-1 when it comes to superpowers, most balanced manhunt yet! Also Fire played crazy against THK

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).

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!

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.

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 !

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 💀💀💀

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

11:33 "the guys that go 'mraah'" Lllloooll

Great concept and execution fire, as always.

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 :)

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

i love it when the silly music kicks in cause its just fire doing the exact opposite of what the hunters are talking about

Legit went “Wait, but you already killed the Watchers- *oh* ” That’s devious.

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!

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!!!
