Great coverage of the run! As a HK speedrunner, it’s really refreshing to see well researched, in depth videos being made from outside of the community. Cheers!

No matter how many times I hear it, the "no feeling is final" speech is always so meaningful. I've been in dark places before when watching these videos, and that short message that things will get better has been all it took to keep my head up for a bit longer. Thanks Tomato.

@@Lukas-_- To the person who read this, It’s been hard for you, I know, and it makes me sad that you don’t see yourself in the way I see you. Sometimes they are things in life that cause us to loose ourselves, and the way you have is so unimaginable painful. I miss your smile, the way your eyes light up the whole room just by the sound of your laughter. I miss the way you accepted the way you look in the mirror without cursing yourself out about how ugly you look. I miss the way you didn’t think of yourself as a failure because everyone makes mistakes, we all have flaws and we all aren’t perfect. It’s painful to see that no one around you seems to see the pain trough your eyes, but, stranger, I do, I see how heavy your heart is and how comforting the sadness for you might be, how afraid your heart is of happiness because it disappears in the end, right? You don’t know how much impact you have in this world and it’s sad to see that your demons fight against you and want to take over you. Because you do make change, it’s something so simple and little that brightens up someone’s whole world, it can be a small smile from your lips, the way you look at things you’re passionate about, the way you make yourself eat even though it’s been hard for you lately, the way you zoom out and go in your own world, you brighten up my world by reading this, it means a lot to me that you’re here, existing, but I don’t want you to just exist, you deserve to feel alive. You deserve to get up in the morning and feel good about yourself. You deserve to feel something- to feel every damn second alive in this lifetime. It’s heartbreaking that you think you’re not capable of being loved, because you are, I love you trough all my words and I hope you let it happen in your heart. Love is scary, I know, maybe you heart had been broken once and since then you wanted to be rather numb than feel ever again, it hurts me how you punish yourself, does it not deserve love? Because YOU DO deserve love, please forgive yourself, it’s not your fault that the demons want to take over your beautiful heart. Enough with beating yourself up for today, okay? Life for those who couldn’t, smile for those who forgot what a genuine smile is, love like there’s no other, hug like its your last one. If you read all of it, until tomorrow my friend :) have a good day and great years. I love you so much and am so proud of you, I hope you will remember my words-lava zoid, the stranger that cares more about you than anything :)

It's really nice that you give your kind words within every explanation video. It's an uncommon and wonderful thing to do

Your videos already give me a lot of joy and comfort, and the fact that you always take the time to give your "no feeling is final" bit just adds more to it. It especially helps that it never feels like the exact same spiel, instead it feels like there's actual effort and heart behind it. Dealing with regular mental health issues myself, it means a lot.

I love the no feeling is final thing you do. The first time I watched one of your videos I started crying during it. It makes me happy that you are still doing that.

the amount of effort you consistently put into your videos is insane, there are so many little things that up the production value in subtle ways. even your ad reads are high effort! the "wall" counter bit is SO funny, and the fact you filmed yourself with a manual counter instead of just doing it with text on the screen just makes it even better

There's so many "WTF" moments in this run for me. I had no way there was a legit way to escape the False Knight boss fight! Thank you and Lep for this wonderful video. :D

Ever since I saw you on AGDQ doing the Fallout Anthology, I knew you were destined to do great things. This is one of those things.

Hey Mr anus. Last year for me has been absolute shit. I’ve only recently realized that I’m finally able to look back at it all rather than have it loom over me. I know you say I’m the one that put in the hard work. But I just want to thank you so much for giving me the mental support to get here.

Man, Lep really nailed this category, didn't he?

Really nice commentary, not just glazing the speedrunner but actually explaining game mechanics

The man's gone and cured my insomnia again. These long speedruns are great to throw on and pass out to.

28:44 Ah, yes... my favorite position: the four hundred twentieth.

I was so ready for that mental health thing in the middle to be the lead in to a sponsorship and when it wasn’t I almost cried. I needed that today, thank you.

55:30 starts using the Besaid Theme from FFX. I like when people use FFX music (like Thunder plains, and the Zanarkand Theme).

Wonderfully explained and masterfully edited! And your little affirmation speech in the middle seriously brought a tear to my eye. A surprise, but a welcome one. I submitted an All Skills run last year, it's not amazing, but it was still quite fun. I don't see myself ever doing an Any% run, but ... never say never!

I love the positivity and attention to detail! This is my favorite game and you really did the speedrun justice. Great work!

i have to say your videos are getting better and better. i really appreciate how you put the little mob icons at the side for those who dont know the game like me, and the little explanations for the abbreviations at the bottom, really cool of you

For everyone who doesn't know, this game is hard, really hard, and here lep is, bullying the bosses that took us days.

I have seen many of your videos and hear that "no feeling is final" speech so many times and I am allways happy that you say it! This is the first time it has helped me in my times of trouble. Thank you so much!

30:18 "good thing Ke$ha wasn't swinging from THAT chandelier!" I think you meant Sia, lol :D

Thank you tomatoanus. I do like watching speedruns but the reason I watch your videos is not the speedruns themselves but your commentary on them. You have helped me through the hard times in my life multiple times.

As someone that loves this game and has been both trying to speed run it and a viewer of these runs, all I can say is fantastic video. This series of “speedrun explained” that you do just has to be one of, if not my favorite video series on the platform. And the little message about mental health in every video that you do is super sweet, and I hope that YOU have a great day mr anus ❤🎉

this video is some of the finest editing you've done so far in my opinion, great job!! it really helped make understanding the tech easier, especially the mini recaps before difficult tricks 👍

Dude you´re the MVP! I´m almost done with my first playthrough of Hollow Knight and was already excited to look for speedruns of it and now you do a video about it. Perfect timing! Gonna watch it as soon as I´m finished :) Thank you

WCS being allowed as long as it's not a new sequence break is a nice QOL spirit of the run kind of thing, I like it.

absolutely stoked to see this run as not only is tomato one of my favorite content creators, being a fallout speedrunner, covering my favorite speedrun, hollow knight nmg. thanks for the amazing video.

This is the only game I’ve ever run. Because of watcher knights I’ve never managed to complete a run of any% even with upgraded fireball. I didn’t even know runners did walk cling storage in real time. All this to say, goddamn am I impressed

Finally get to see a speedrun explained about a game that I know about. Great job with the explanation of the run, really found it to be quite thorough. The wall counter was fantastic!

I might be out of my meds til Monday but at least I've got a good old fashioned tomatoanus pep talk to look forward to 💖 the technical stuff is fascinating, and the skill is impressive, but your positivity and humor is what I love most about your videos. anyone can learn to speedrun but it's really impressive to be such a thoughtful, genuine, funny guy. dang this one caught me off guard cuz being a burden is like my #1 anxiety 😅 thanks as always man. great video so far.

I don't know why but I was utterly unprepared for Chicago guy to turn and face the camera. My brain cannot comprehend that they exist as 3 dimensional people. Wild.

Great video! Other people have tried to make similar videos on Hollow Knight before but none have been as accurate or in-depth. Lep also said that you were great to work with so I think that I speak for most of the hk speedrunning community when I say that we are happy this video was made.

Hey tomatoangus, thanks for the little mid-video pep talk you always do. It's always reassuring to hear, even from a stranger.

love to see a new video from my favorite anus. just dropping in to say i've been looping the speedrun explained playlist most nights as i fall asleep bc you've got a very smooth voice, and after a few months of struggling with a wave of mental health issues, i really feel like i've come out the other side of this round. it wasn't my first rodeo but the constant reminders that there will be better days really did help, and it's even nicer to hear you say the words now that my brighter days have come. i hope everyone else believes your mantra and can make it their own too, because things will always come and go but better days are ahead always

also re the video, the section about the rafter skip made me think. runners always want to present the best but you could add some stakes to these by explaining hard tricks like that, then having the runners fail them sometimes. get the viewers invested in the run they're watching as well as educating them. idk shit though, love your work

Being hit with "hello my name is tomatoanus" right off the bat was probably the funniest thing I've heard all day

Excellent narration for an excellent speedrun. Thanks!

I really appreciate the sudden check ins, I've found myself randomly just reminding myself from how unexpected it is at times, its nice.

The Wall Counter was extremely helpful. Thank you.

I just got back into hollow knight so I was so excited when u posted this

I had the volume cranked to hear game sounds at the silent section. The "achoo!" totally got me. hahaha

YES, I love this game and love your analysis of every game you make a video on, this is a combo of a lifetime.

Hey Tomatoanus I want you to know that your videos are always a high point of my day! And thank you for continuing to do the messages in your videos. I know that it's helped me refocus myself when I wasn't at my best. Thank you

“Wall x 39” - Chicago Guy probably

I wish the Watcher's dreamnail dialogue actually was "...WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CHANDELIER..."

Man you don't get enough credit for the wild amount of effort you put into your videos. This is fantastic, and thank you for the edited subtitles as well!

35:40 That came out of the blue, but fuck thank you

Besaid Island theme to the final boss fight is very interesting to hear. Love it.

well, this made my morning a little bit better. loved the wall counter.

Made my night with the upload man.

superb video! i thoroughly enjoyed the addition of side-bar pictures to help illustrate what enemies you’re referring to. two very enthusiastic thumbs up, fine holiday fun 👍

Tiny correction: I'm pretty sure the Dream Nail is a requirement to "collect" each Dreamer, otherwise your spot on

Man you got it all. Great mental health message, great jokes, beginner friendly in depth commentation, Chicago guy. Great vid.

watching this vid drunk tends to be surreal at times, also much love to you for bringing up one of my favorite quotes ever by reiner maria rilke

I didn't know I'd been waiting for a Hollow Knight Speedrun Explained until this popped up in my feed. Once again you did not disappoint. Thank you so much Mr. Sauce

The off screen fireball trick similar to the doom 2016 bfg menu trick also reminds me of the OG Megaman boss strat where using the lightning blast while rapidly pausing and unpausing causes you to damage the yellow devil boss over and over with one shot.

This brings back memories... namely memories of watching TAS runs

Thank you for doing hollow knight! I love their speedruns so much!! Also hope u feel better soon

HAVENT EVEN WATCHED THE VIDEO YET BUT TOMATOANUS DOING A VID ON MY FAV SPEED GAME???? HELL FUCKING YES. I’ll probably know most of the tech but your commentary is unmatched and I love your channel regardless

I’ve just spent the last 4 years to get fluent in traditional mandarin so I can be a top runner and now you’re telling me it’s actually simplified and you don’t actually need to learn the language to speed run. Man I’m feeling like Minnesota guy at the moment

the "for this fight the name of the game" self reset was ingenius. good job!

Always happy to see more Tomato-"Angus without the G"

I'vr been waiting for it for so long. Thanks, Tommy. Keep up the good work!

loved the “name of the game” bit and of course the no feeling is final important message. i’ve had a really bad day but this really helped

Oh I finally get to watch one of these where I already know almost everything going in!

Liked the dark room explanation! Would be interesting to see you commentate a run with dark deepnest

I love your humor. The "wall" counter was great

So good to see my fave speedrunning community covered on your channel!
