[willow leaf]

groal also slaps

[soft belfry]

Nah just heal better

The explosion can be kind of a pain tho

[candid kayak]

yes

[willow leaf]

but in a different way

[verbal coyote]

btw guys i did gms hitless (got hit once bruh)

[soft belfry]

Nah groal sucks lol (maybe literally)

[frosty kelp]

not hitless

[verbal coyote]

nearly hitless

[soft belfry]

...I've done hitless yea

[finite swift]

is this canon

[willow leaf]

thats why i said but in a different way:/

[plain tundra]

???
No I mean the answer to the problem is right here

[candid kayak]

groal (recieves) slaps (from hornet's needle)

[verbal coyote]

my next goal: get twisted

[willow leaf]

Mission get kratt to ass jim

[soft belfry]

You can farm silk many ways plus there isn't too much maggot

[soft belfry]

How is sucking someone remotely similar to slapping them

[plain tundra]

Right, and a lot of bilewater is vertical which keeps you away from the water altogether

[light swan]

in a while not soon lol

[candid kayak]

swamp squits respawn

[willow leaf]

-_-

[soft belfry]

The spitting guys are the issue

[candid kayak]

you mean the stilkin?

the people

[frosty kelp]

aww :(( gl making the video tho 👍 what do you use to edit videos

[soft belfry]

Free silk

[light swan]

capcut 🤮 on mobile too

@willow leaf

[graceful oyster]

Ewww

[soft belfry]

All of them but also the squits and the stilkin yea

[frosty kelp]

ty 👍

[willow leaf]

if u eat lace does that mean u ate mushroom:D

[candid kayak]

spit squits are in ducts not bilewater

[light swan]

2:14 im not proud of myself but thats what happens without sawtooth pogo against a bossfight based around sawtooth pogos

[candid kayak]

swamp squits are not very dangerous

[willow leaf]

its not loading gimem a sec

[light swan]

give me like watcher at the edge and ill do better

[soft belfry]

I meant the round exploders

[willow leaf]

my wifi dookie

[graceful oyster]

I usually roast my brussels sprouts with olive oil and just lemon pepper... should I try something else?

[frosty kelp]

it's ok bro not having sawtooth messes with my muscle memory

[candid kayak]

yeah swamp squits aren't very dangerous ngl

[willow leaf]

i roast my brusselsprouts with pepperspray:>

[candid kayak]

just don't actively walk into their soon-to-explode body

[plain tundra]

Sinner's road is worse than bilewater if you factor in progression

[verbal coyote]

i have 1100 rosaries what should i buy

[verbal coyote]

putrified dicks worst than both

[candid kayak]

it really isn't

[frosty kelp]

I wanted to ask cus right now I can only upload the pure mp4 without editing 😭😭

[alpine juniper]

Does anyone here play ss on phone

[frosty kelp]

imo I hate sinner's road more than bilewater so yeah

[brave geyser]

Subaru my goat what's up gng

[frosty kelp]

I have sinner's road ptsd

[soft belfry]

My ahh went to bilewater to get to the mist instead of through sinner's road cos I misunderstood the tutorial

[frosty kelp]

me 2. TWICE

[light swan]

i dont have watcher at the edge muscle memory

[candid kayak]

you just walk past some muckroaches go up, do a C shaped path around one room, go up, then you're basically at the home stretch

[ruby dune]

craws are lowk underrated

like craws are one of the most underrated bugs in The HK franchise

[soft belfry]

No one realises you can't face tank and needle slap them on the first playthrough

[verbal coyote]

finally i can get twisted child ending

[plain tundra]

By bilewater, you have wings, clawline, multbind, a high tier sword, max upgrades, solid gear, etc
In sinner's road you have: None of that

[candid kayak]

too many tallcraw kills needed for hunter's notes

[ruby dune]

i want a game where we play as a craw

[graceful oyster]

The time of birth approaches

[soft belfry]

Craws are cute

[ruby dune]

shh

craws are cool

[candid kayak]

you have dash, glide, wall climb
more than enough

[brave geyser]

Of course your name is paleostag

[alpine juniper]

Yo gng i cant get on my pc i wanna play ss on my phone

[willow leaf]

cogfly hard counter craws:>

[ruby dune]

its not pale yet

[soft belfry]

There is a crow game iirc but it's not skong related and not a craw

[brave geyser]

Sure gng i got you

[candid kayak]

also the fucking platforming in the wide room at the top is bullshit you can just jump over all of it

[ruby dune]

if i remove the O the universe dies

[alpine juniper]

Dm

[frosty kelp]

yo @graceful oyster I forgot to ask. Where do you find the fast spogo gif? what do I have to search to find it

[azure patrol]

Wanderer>>>

[candid kayak]

can't handle a simple miniboss

[soft belfry]

Do we get a parallel universe if you add another O

[light swan]

WATCHER AT THE EDGE IS SO FUN

[ruby dune]

i like palestag

[candid kayak]

palestag is fine

[light swan]

sorry but i find witch impeccably funner than wanderer lol

[graceful oyster]

Witch crest, sawtooth, circlet, grand reed, my name. I tragically forgot to put spogo on the new one

[ruby dune]

i mean why would i name myself Paleostag

[brave geyser]

Not a no hit invalid run

[frosty kelp]

yeah I couldn't find it when I searched spogo or witch crest

[candid kayak]

everyone hates on palestag (because they're stupid)

[graceful oyster]

It's right at the top on witch crest

[light swan]

toolless btw

[frosty kelp]

https://tenor.com/view/silksong-witch-crest-sawtooth-circlet-sawtooth-circlet-gif-9051854759941621799

[brave geyser]

I agree palestag is stupid

[frosty kelp]

there it is yessir

[candid kayak]

LMAO

[azure patrol]

True but wanderer is so good to charge at bosses. You can easily find a sweet spot you can heal mid air

[candid kayak]

I suppose you can read it that way lmfao

[patent heath]

It's the only boss I didn't bother doing hitless.

[light swan]

i know but i find witch impeccably funner

[soft belfry]

Anyway I cast gms arm

[azure patrol]

Yeah, nuke them

[brave geyser]

Much better

[light swan]

i know wanderer is good and i know that other crests are better than it and i know its better than other crests i just find witch so much more fun

[finite swift]

Steel city DLC when

[frosty kelp]

my homie watcher at the edge gonna be my parry training dummy

[light swan]

https://tenor.com/view/average-witch-crest-speed-kill-gif-16326558384304353968

[earnest drift]

wanderer isn’t that good

[plain tundra]

Agree to disagree, but bilewater's enemies are objectively less annoying at progresion
The only thing that poses a real threat in bilewater are the flying muckroaches and the people, but every enemy in sinner's road is dangerous when you get there

[patent heath]

God, I hate this boss.

[earnest drift]

wanderer is good at a low skill level but worse than other crests at higher skill

[frosty kelp]

I love how this is slower than just spogoing 😭 WHYYYYY MORE ELEGANT SHOULD MEAN BETTER

[ruby dune]

no

[frosty kelp]

ig it makes it easier for the new players to learn the tech :///

[azure patrol]

There isn't even a godhome dlc yet chill bruh

[light swan]

form over function (coolness over effectiveness)

[willow leaf]

guys what did i do with him

[soft belfry]

Imagine we get Hollow Knight: Silksong: City of Steel as a standalone game

[light swan]

theres a godhome mod tho

[frosty kelp]

I agree bro there's a reason I learn rdac chain despite already knowing how to spogo. Rdac chain is just so mmmmmm 🤌

[brave geyser]

He agrees

[azure patrol]

This community has no chills

[brave geyser]

Wait fuck did i just say

[graceful oyster]

I live for spogos so I'm in heaven

[ruby dune]

i cant unhear The craw sounds in Greymoor theme

[coarse leaf]

This is how some 112%ers be sounding https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ito_HDRFh-g

[brave geyser]

I agree silksong is undemocratic dogshit

[plain tundra]

What's a sogo?

[graceful oyster]

The circlet sound is pure dopamine

[azure patrol]

-1/10 ragebsit

[brave geyser]

Swatooth pogo

[light swan]

Hollow Knight: Silksong: Sea of Sorrows: Zoteboat: City of Steel: Witchward: Greyroots Origins

[graceful oyster]

https://tenor.com/view/silksong-witch-crest-sawtooth-circlet-sawtooth-circlet-gif-9051854759941621799

Hehe

It's Witch pogo and Sawtooth at the same time

[light swan]

fahhh

[candid kayak]

see it's because everyone expects their hollow knight skills to seamlessly transfer to silksong

[graceful oyster]

*Circlet slightly before pogo

[patent heath]

Send the wall here.

[plain tundra]

More witch synergy, noted

[candid kayak]

but that's just not how it works
it's new enemies, controls and bosses to adapt to

[light swan]

the cool part is that the witch pogo pulls sawtooth circlet down into the enemy from above

[plain dock]

Guys "the hornet" or "the silksong"?

[brave geyser]

Like ffs silksong is not hollow knight 2

[candid kayak]

"I can beat absrad but not bell beast"
yeah because you've practiced absrad millions of time but you've never fought bell beast before, DUH?

[soft belfry]

What's Witchward also Greyroots Origin is such a goofy name next to Sea of Sorrows

[plain tundra]

It literally is though?

[coarse leaf]

That is how it works, you're used to the combat system and mechanics already. Just a matter of learning Hornet's frame data for her moves which if you are used to the system, 112%s are, it doesn't take long

[brave geyser]

I don't see the 2 in silksong

[light swan]

game abuot witch crest

[plain tundra]

Hollow Knight: Silksong*
Aka the second hollow knight game
Hollow knight 2

[candid kayak]

it doesn't matter how many times you've practiced absrad

you're not fighting absrad, you're fighting the bell beast

[brave geyser]

Now shut up you juggernaut flying mantis

[soft belfry]

Nah ik a guy who didn't 112% hk yet but can beat 4c and lace 1 first try

[finite swift]

the chat feels like this sometimes

[light swan]

Wtf

[frosty kelp]

I'm gonna say one day I will learn how to parry good and then it's gonna happen in like a week like rdac chain

[soft belfry]

Oh I thought it was greyrooted whiteward

[plain tundra]

But just because Game 2 is a sequel doesn't mean it plays like Game

[candid kayak]

^^

new character, new movement

[brave geyser]

Yes

[frosty kelp]

the nine sols community is very chill you should check them out. The people there are so chill

[coarse leaf]

😅 many fights in the game have more telegraphed moves, and more relaxed dodge windows than absrad. And you can heal midair. You're kind of swimming upstream rn. 112% players should definitely have their skill transfer

[finite swift]

I always wanted Nine sols but im broke and my parents hate online games

[light swan]

will nine sols people like me all i do is call their combat system overrated

[candid kayak]

you're deliberately missing my point

[frosty kelp]

there's actually no one like that and also if someone calls the combat system overrated we respect their opinion

[light swan]

yay :D

[finite swift]

I do have a question is that eva or whate

[candid kayak]

the loose skills transfer, but your practice against hallownest's enemies and bosses does not matter so much when you're not in hallownest

[brave geyser]

are the villains just demons with cat ears

[frosty kelp]

like actually tho they respect opinions. But yeah I see why the combat system could be perceived like that. Parry spamming to ensure a parry is used in blindfolded eigong

[coarse leaf]

This is what you sound like right now: "I spent countless hours learning Hollow Knight and forgot how to play the game when I loaded up silksong. I can do absrad but bellbeast is a whole nother ballpark" Like what? No flame but you sound silly

[plain tundra]

that's hornet

[finite swift]

I MEAN THE BACKROUND

WHATS THE GIRL WHO UPGRADES OUR CREST

[soft belfry]

Probably a ship/elevator, eva's shape is a bit different

Could be a relative

[candid kayak]

bold of you to assume I'm describing myself

[coarse leaf]

I'm always going to be less soft with 112% players that complain about beastfly. Makes 0 sense

[candid kayak]

bold and very incorrect

[frosty kelp]

the plot is absolute cinema and the villains kind of have their reasoning except for the final boss who has terrible reasoning and totally deserves to die

[candid kayak]

you're under the impression that I'm COMPLAINING

but that just shows you weren't listening

[soft belfry]

But moorwing makes 0 sense

[candid kayak]

I'm describing a fucking generic case

[light swan]

are you saying eva is coming back

[coarse leaf]

i meant beastfly but still

[frosty kelp]

yeah I thought of eva when I saw it too

[rich wyvern]

Eva

[candid kayak]

get your facts straight please

[soft belfry]

What's eva gonna do, take over hornet body

[frosty kelp]

illu I think you should join the nine sols discord server it's really chill

[finite swift]

Eva new character trust

[soft belfry]

But they are inside

[brave geyser]

Bell beast is not the best example but he's right
It doesn't matter if you fought pure vessel a million times. You are still fighting high halls with a different moveset for most players You don't forget how to play the game. Silksong just functions entierly differently

[plain tundra]

playable Weaver Queen in Sea of Sorrow trust

[candid kayak]

I am saying, generally speaking, your practice against the bosses from the first game doesn't apply much to NEW bosses in a NEW game

[light swan]

theres like theorycrafters that eva is an experiment, combining a sylph slug (new pale being) with a weaver's body and its why shes so fragile, she cant contain her power

[candid kayak]

exactly

[rich wyvern]

Does anyone actually do this 😭 like ik it’s a meme but did any 112% hk ppl actually struggle with it like sure it was a lil difficult for me (who sucks at this game) but I got over it after like 45 mins

[finite swift]

"Hornet can you let me out I wanna see the world"
"ok"

[candid kayak]

god at least someone here is actually understanding what I'm saying lmao

[brave geyser]

I died to it 80 times.

[frosty kelp]

oooh interesting eva is definitely a form of a weaver like hornet but she is somehow related to sylphs so I see why

[candid kayak]

unlike a certain someone who seems to just be here to argue with people

[brave geyser]

And i know it's not just a skill issue karmelitta took me 4

[light swan]

ALSO eva has a BADASS DESIGN and we havent even SEEN IT

[brave geyser]

seth took me 6 ffs 😭

[candid kayak]

it's a new world, new enemies, new bosses, new moveset

[brave geyser]

I was on some shit with beastfly 1 😭

[coarse leaf]

I argue that pattern recognition and recognizing the range of your strikes and moves in a moveset in hollow knight context should be almost frictionless if not free for a 112% player. Like the fundamental skills transfer. Most of the game should be trivial

[flat trellis]

We can all agree that greymoor has the worst enemies in the entire game 🥹

[coarse leaf]

Moveset is not that different

[light swan]

I WANT AN EVA BOSSFIGHT EVA IS SO COOL

[edgy creek]

skill in one area doesn't equate to skill in another

[candid kayak]

your skills from the first game don't fully apply

[light swan]

eva is my hornet ship

[candid kayak]

I'm not saying they don't apply at all

[soft belfry]

Is hornet able to select tho, cos she might unleash widow's soul or smth

[coarse leaf]

Apparently so. I mean I have read many 112% players complain about beastfly

[frosty kelp]

who is here just to argue with people?

[rich wyvern]

You were counting? I wasn’t counting lol I was just yeeting my needle at it with a podcast in the bg til I won so I probably also died quite a few times :> idm tho

[candid kayak]

I'm just saying, anything you'd associate with muscle memory or specific patterns on a given boss don't carry over

[candid kayak]

me /j

[light swan]

i really like this idea and ireally hope we get more eva lore

[soft belfry]

Maybe godhome?

[frosty kelp]

me who is 100% and complains about beastfly 😭 bro I got clapped 50 times before getting the hang of him

[rich wyvern]

I really hope so I wanna see her design sm

[plain tundra]

You mean you don't remember the part of the Grimm boss fight where he yells trobbio and Jumps below the arena?

[candid kayak]

oh yeah

[coarse leaf]

No one said pattern recognition for one boss applies to all bosses, you're "deliberately missing my point" but it's ok

[candid kayak]

I almost did forget that...

[brave geyser]

True
And i mean the controls were shit too so

[frosty kelp]

I think criticising people's opinions and pointing out some details they might have missed is fine but you should still respect it if they don't agree 👍

[candid kayak]

mm

[soft belfry]

Does 112% involve full radiant godhome

[light swan]

who else here wants an eva bossfight

[spark anchor]

no

[coarse leaf]

That's 100% fair tho if you're not a 112% player

[spark anchor]

only p1-p4

[graceful oyster]

One hit and it's over

[rich wyvern]

Were you fighting beast chapel beastfly…. I beat that one 2nd try but respect I could never play it with mobile controls

[candid kayak]

I'm just saying like, it feels like some people expect their skills from the first game to 100% transfer to silksong's enemies

[brave geyser]

Craw lake*

[frosty kelp]

no but like here's the thing. Silksong's combat feels very different than hk and beastfly is a nightmare

[soft belfry]

Big fluffy zote radiance?

[candid kayak]

craw ladle

[plain tundra]

Isn't eva in the thing because she's frail?

[soft belfry]

Take that back beastfly is my precious

[flat trellis]

Just downloaded the android port why u using an emulator

[frosty kelp]

me. I wanna see how strong she is and possibly find out why she failed

[light swan]

it worked with sans itll work with eva

[brave geyser]

Beastfly 2 was fucking free for some reason i got it first try

[rich wyvern]

Iirc she’s in a cage bc the weavers imprisoned her

[soft belfry]

Yeah but godhome is them in their prime

[candid kayak]

beastfly is so fucking simple and yet so tough

[brave geyser]

That was release version actually

[light swan]

assuming the sylph idea, she probably failed cuz like

its like stuffing the biggest battery you know into an iphone -1

[candid kayak]

they just swoop side to side, that SHOULD be easy

[soft belfry]

Needle with 2 oils makes it free

[candid kayak]

AND YET

[plain tundra]

Sans doesn't have to deal with cogflies

[brave geyser]

Threadstorm too

[frosty kelp]

W example

[rich wyvern]

Damn you and I are very different o7 I assume you probably learned the moveset first time though

[brave geyser]

Prolly because the arena is small. They spawn minions. And you can fight it right after getting drifters

[light swan]

putting the power of a pale being in a lesser being's body is bound to stretch their strength and body into pieces

[candid kayak]

sans would be doomed

[light swan]

i wanna see an intense fast boss that teleports but isnt just first sinner

[brave geyser]

Yea i mean it's 80 deaths i would've sued if i didn't 😭

[light swan]

one with pale strength behind it

[candid kayak]

they're big

[brave geyser]

and for me back on release version the pogo was so fucking shit

[candid kayak]

savage beastfly is large and also adjusts to your altitude before ramming

[plain tundra]

Sans when the cogflies attack him while he's talking

[brave geyser]

Like you couldn't pogo properly at all

[rich wyvern]

Imagine the headline ‘Silksong player sues team cherry for emotional damage’

[soft belfry]

You tend to fight it before getting good movement abilities

[frosty kelp]

I'm completely fine with beastfly himself but the minions are really annoying when you're stuck in a box. I know the box looks big but I feel like when I actually fight beastfly it feels a lot smaller than it should be because of all the stupid minions

[candid kayak]

so if you end up with them charging across while they're high enough off the floor to hit you on the ground while also raising the hurdle you have to jump over

[brave geyser]

But yea back to what we were saying silksong is not hk 2 so if you beat anyrad 2.0 but can't do high halls that's not a skill issue you are still new

[candid kayak]

you're gonna get hit lol

[candid kayak]

yeah

it's not so much that you get better at "the combat", more like you get better at the enemies you're fighting

[frosty kelp]

HAHAHAHAHA

[candid kayak]

so when you're fighting something different, you're less prepared

[brave geyser]

I will be honest though silksong becomes way easier than hollow knight when you discover shit like this

[brave geyser]

And recognising patterns

[light swan]

i may be cooking but arent these two just the same image from the same game

[candid kayak]

yeah

[frosty kelp]

no you're not cooking

[mortal dagger]

red tools can make sk alot easier, kinda like the elden ring effect

[candid kayak]

THAT is the thing that you truly get good at

[rich wyvern]

Me when I never used a silk skill or clawline or a red tool in my life

[candid kayak]

your skill comes from your ability to LEARN

that is exactly it

[plain tundra]

Oh right, MIO also looks interesting

[frosty kelp]

guys for the people who like to parry: What's your favourite boss to parry

currently I'm looking forward to parrying widow

[candid kayak]

use them you will be so much happier

[soft belfry]

Looks like you are still in act 2

[rich wyvern]

Lost lace…

[candid kayak]

but don't be wasteful with red tools lol

[brave geyser]

High halls

[frosty kelp]

no dodging melee attacks allowed only parry

[strange comet]

hello nerds

[light swan]

DUDE it releases in 4 days

[brave geyser]

Hi

[rich wyvern]

100 sister of the void ending actually I just don’t use clawline in combat

[frosty kelp]

wait actually? Everytime I parry LL she still hits me 😭

[light swan]

i feel like mio will be better than silkson gin every way

[graceful oyster]

It's so hard to fit entire stories and worlds into the flavor texts of cards

[soft belfry]

I was wondering how you activated Cogwork Core

[plain tundra]

Ooh

[candid kayak]

these ones, because of the screenshots I got from them

[light swan]

karmelikta

[rich wyvern]

If you can time it right when she jumps up you can get this sick double parry midair

[frosty kelp]

I meant normal parry not cross stitch

[brave geyser]

Holy shit he found lace

[candid kayak]

just jump

[frosty kelp]

ohhh that one? Well my problem is that that's literally the ONLY attack you can parry

[candid kayak]

jump and move towards where they were

[void moat]

im gonna have to study how to draw green prince lowkey, or find an easier way to draw him

[rich wyvern]

Yeah I can figure out how to do it in platform but in combat it’s easier for me to keep it simple

[candid kayak]

they either stay on the ground or they appear above and behind you and attack diagonally

[frosty kelp]

yeah she's also a really good parrying practice dummy

[candid kayak]

basically jump over where they were

[charred pulsar]

Careful, don't die! (You're on Steel Soul mode!)

[brave geyser]

They'd look interesting in your artstyle

[soft belfry]

I did a clawline only challenge run (in progress) and I lost the ability to fight normally

[candid kayak]

dw I won it lol

[rich wyvern]

The triple dash. The ground combo

[graceful oyster]

Simo jumpscare

[strange comet]

meow

[brave geyser]

Oh yea what boss are you at now

[frosty kelp]

for me whenver I try to parry her dash I successfully parry it then get hit by the tentacles 😭😭

[rich wyvern]

I could never 💔

[soft belfry]

Haven't picked it up, I did a sidetrack for hitless moss mothers only to not be able to get a skin

Just passed lace 1 iirc going to hunter's march

[candid kayak]

oh here's lace exploding at the end of phase 2

[rich wyvern]

Gulp yeah it takes some getting used to and I can’t pull it off consistently but when I do it’s so fucking satisfying

[soft belfry]

Ngl not looking forward to the ant arena but I have to do it now or it's impossible

[candid kayak]

and here's the other Lost ____ also exploding

[brave geyser]

True becuz map mommy

[frosty kelp]

I pull off the parry consistently but the STUPID VOID TENTACLES GET ME EVERY GOD DAMN TIME STUPID AH LL

[candid kayak]

which ones

[sharp slate]

works 90% of the time 100% of the time

[light swan]

hold on i have a clip of me getting 4 parries in a row in ll

[soft belfry]

I did make exceptions to restore 1 silk/break cocoons after death

No red tools or silk skills besides necessary (bell beast compulsory), or any damaging tools (so like, sawtooth, memory crystal)

Moss mother 1 is so pain it feels like fighting mini beastfly

[soft belfry]

Can't heal at all cos can't regen enough silk

Without map bug it's not possible unless ur tas or smth

[frosty kelp]

Guys I know this is a hot take but I despise LL's moveset

[rich wyvern]

😨

[soft belfry]

Same

[graceful oyster]

Me twosies

[candid kayak]

why do the cogwork underflies next to the clawline weaver shrine give +1 silk when you clawline them lmao

[rich wyvern]

wow am I the only one who likes them

[sharp slate]

i actually dont hate the mechanics of the fight, i dislike* how similar it is to lace 2 / common void enemies

[brave geyser]

Holy shit someone else noticed

[candid kayak]

yeah what's up with that lmao

[frosty kelp]

I'm completely fine with LL on first playthrough. She's good from a story perspective for sure her music is great and she's good as a final boss but her moveset makes hitless LL such a nightmare I HATE IT the upslash attack's telegraph is way too short for how dangerous it actually is

[brave geyser]

I like LL :)

[soft belfry]

Slightly off topic, can I have the Alaska pic

[candid kayak]

ALSO I could've fucking sworn they patched something like that

[brave geyser]

Prolly incase some idiot got there without silkhearts

[soft belfry]

Cos they are enemies, when enemies are clawline they return 1 silk

[frosty kelp]

the one guy who skipped bell beast by going through wormways

[brave geyser]

And before you say "can't you run out of silk before you reach them tho"
Silk cocoons

[brave geyser]

Those guys give 2

No seriously they do

[light swan]

@frosty kelp

[brave geyser]

And they burst out into 2 silkflies even

[graceful oyster]

Coming right up. I have hundreds of good ones and I just pick one

[soft belfry]

Fr?

[rich wyvern]

Softlock% mentioned

[light swan]

also have this which is cool

[plain dock]

Yoo guyssss

[plain dock]

It's not sk related but j found smth rather interesting

[frosty kelp]

That makes me so happy ❤️ I don't know why bullying lost lace by succesfully parrying her is so nice

[candid kayak]

no they RETURN 2 silk

[plain dock]

I*

[frosty kelp]

AAAAAH PEAK

[candid kayak]

you spend 1 silk on the clawline, then you gain 2 (net +1)

[native canyon]

clean

[rich wyvern]

Tell us

[soft belfry]

Ohhh I never noticed

[frosty kelp]

those parries are almost as satisfying as UC buffering into swift descent for an insta charge into UC prong

[candid kayak]

and then they don't

[plain dock]

Sooo

[native canyon]

maybe because lost lace is peak

[rich wyvern]

Coughs in sadness

[plain dock]

I just saw 2 puppies eating the head of their brother😔 ✌️

[plain dock]

Still watching it kinda fascinating

[candid kayak]

were they like, going halfsies?

[plain dock]

I mean the meat is gone but they were chewing on them bone

[candid kayak]

hmm

[rich wyvern]

Huh maybe you shouldn’t have spilled

[graceful oyster]

Hmm this one is a little out of the ordinary because I usually do glacier related stuff :)

[frosty kelp]

why did you cross it out? I do understand why lost lace is peak. She's definitely peak from a story perspective I just really hate her moveset but you can have your own opinion ofc

[candid kayak]

it was the Evil brother dw

[stable narwhal]

I beat high halls gauntlet alone with witch crest can i be a certified witch crest user now

[plain dock]

I have such an urge to pick tht shii up

[frosty kelp]

I did the same just equip sawtooth and spogo everything

[native canyon]

I think she's team cherry's best boss fight

[light swan]

daily reminder to no one in particular that quick move cancelling all your arts to proc the 50% independent multiplier from the minor blue skill and the crazy cancel damage independent multiplier too is SUPER cool

[light swan]

YES!!

[stable narwhal]

Yay!!!!

[candid kayak]

no you have not made a sacrifice yet

[frosty kelp]

I totally agree from a story point 👍 it's absolute cinema

[candid kayak]

blood will suffice

[rich wyvern]

I sacrifice Sherma

[native canyon]

is this from matthew I know he has that other skill

[plain dock]

I pogo with the beast crest am I a certified beast to the society now?

[candid kayak]

sherma will also suffice, welcome aboard

[native canyon]

WAIT I SEE HIS ARM THIS IS MATTHEW

[stable narwhal]

im anemic can i sacrifice someone else’s blood

[light swan]

yea its matthew specific

[frosty kelp]

why do you wanna be a certified witch user tho? If it's to join witch coven then you can join at anytime cus illu is chill

[rustic quest]

Guys which one is harder? Broodmother or the first savage beastfly

[native canyon]

matthew might lowkey be my favorite xeno series character to play as that isn't like stupid overpowered

[light swan]

its cool because the 50% damage boost is in category 2 of multipliers which makes it the same category as power charge

[frosty kelp]

witch is very ELEGANT good job beating hhg with ELEGANT

[stable narwhal]

idk it seemed like witch crest had a devoted cult following

[earnest drift]

broodmother but not by much imo

[rich wyvern]

They’re both just annoying 💔

[light swan]

assuming no stupid overpoweredness, same LOL (or base game martial artist)

base game martial artist has frienzied combo which is crazy fun but matthew has quick move cancelling tech

and an aoe power charge

[candid kayak]

first savage beastfly isn't that bad, but thinking about the adds... yeah the arena should probably be a bit bigger idk

[frosty kelp]

oh nah illu himself says witch crest sucks and he likes all crests but yeah it's ELEGANT but definitely no cult. It's definitely the coolest crest 😎

[candid kayak]

he did say that

[light swan]

its outclassed, it doesnt suck cuz that implies its bad on its own

[burnt helm]

Do you guys think Henry from KCD2 and Hornet would be friends?

[plain dock]

I think they're going halfsies on em

[light swan]

i think its the 2nd worst crest capabilitywise

but the coolest by far and its not even close

[frosty kelp]

yeah true nothing sucks in a singleplayer game(except architect silkshot)

[candid kayak]

that's the great thing, it's not a competition for being the "strongest"

[native canyon]

I'm not sure how al factors into stupid overpowered shit because howling soul and hercules blow but he's probably pretty close

[candid kayak]

it's about being FUN

[native canyon]

al is like the only non-cross character in x that I like to play as

[stable narwhal]

Truth

[light swan]

witch crest is the best thing team cherry ever designed and its the only reason why silksong is still my 2nd favorite game

[frosty kelp]

I'm learning beast right now because parry looks ELEGANT and I won't use sawtooth on it cus I wanna use trobbio mirrors

[light swan]

i havent played anyone outside of cross LOL

[frosty kelp]

what's your favourite?

[candid kayak]

beast?

[frosty kelp]

yeah beast crest

[native canyon]

most of them kinda suck but there's some cool ones like elma al and celica

[candid kayak]

hm

[light swan]

except for neilnail (my favorite character) to grind once cuz i was in chapter 9 and didnt have that one thingy that raised treasure level

neilnail is so awesome omgggg

[candid kayak]

beast crest is fun
remember to taunt after defeating enemies

[frosty kelp]

beast isn't particularly hard to learn but it has the biggest parry window so it's actually just to teach me to parry. Also I need to learn the pogo

[light swan]

it helps that im a dual blades user and so is neilnail so it was already my polaystyle

[frosty kelp]

OMG I FORGOT ABOUT TAUNTING I'M SO STUPID TYSM

[light swan]

https://tenor.com/view/xenoblade-xenoblade-chronicles-xenoblade3-xenoblade-chronicles3-xc3-gif-24831359

[burnt helm]

Could Hornet kill a IRL, properly sized horse

[frosty kelp]

GUARAMA

[candid kayak]

one of the best aspects of beast crest

[earnest drift]

which one should I get first

[native canyon]

I'm dual guns all the way

[frosty kelp]

yeah definitely

[candid kayak]

hornet catharsis

[earnest drift]

I seriously doubt it, even if the horse was asleep

[frosty kelp]

also the reason I'm pursuing the parry is because I wanna play silksong like it's nine sols

I already beat up the skarrgard is nine sols fashion

[light swan]

neilnails psycholauncher specific art was the only reason why i used her lol

[burnt helm]

Bros playing games from 2032

[light swan]

heroic tale i think

[earnest drift]

easiest enemy to parry

[frosty kelp]

so satisfying

[native canyon]

uh that one boosts enemy drops right

[light swan]

raises enemy level by (im honest to god being unironic rn) 6-7 i think

[frosty kelp]

we all start small I couldn't even consistently parry bro

[light swan]

yea, raises enemy level which boosts drops

[frosty kelp]

took a few tries to consistently parry the skarrgard

[candid kayak]

I love that silksong actually implements parries properly

[frosty kelp]

also I was kinda forced to parry cus I didn't even have dash so dodging was off the table

[candid kayak]

I think the key to it is the fact that your attack hitboxes last way longer

[earnest drift]

nah not downplaying your achievement
I just thought I’d point out that what’s usually considered a difficult enemy is one of the easiest to parry

[frosty kelp]

hollow knight has 10 different parries and you can parry ocnsistently but it's rng which type of parry you get

[light swan]

i was grinding double thermal phoenixes in a cave in cauldros and had to use neilnail cuz i didnt have heroic tale on cross cuz i was in chapter 9

[burnt helm]

If it's asleep she could probably crawl in the mouth and find a place to break into the brain

[native canyon]

tbh the ranged catalog is way cooler than the melee catalog in xenoblade x

[candid kayak]

and yeah, the fact that there's barely anything parryable in the first game lmao

[frosty kelp]

I wasn't interpreting it as downplaying my achievement XD I agree with your point

[earnest drift]

that would wake the horse up, it would panic and spit her out

[candid kayak]

what am I gonna parry? a "Husk Warrior"?

or pure vessel... hmm

[native canyon]

like you've got constant bangers with dual guns assault rifle sniper rifle psycho launchers and gatling gun with one dud meanwhile the only melee weapons I care about are longsword and dual swords

[light swan]

i unfortunately didnt really play much outside of dual blades dual guns i think

[burnt helm]

Fair enough, and she probably tastes awful, to Kratts dismay

[frosty kelp]

nah I'm gonna parry specifically this specific attack from this specific boss because that's the only thing I can parry 😭😭

[light swan]

double duals was just way too strong

[candid kayak]

not like there's much else to choose from lmao

[rich scaffold]

high halls is so ahh

[native canyon]

you should give longsword a try

[light swan]

blood sacrifice > overdrive > ghostwalker & zero zero spam

[candid kayak]

wrong

[earnest drift]

if humans were in hollow knight, what would bugs call them

[light swan]

i think i did

[frosty kelp]

respect opinions >:((

[candid kayak]

well... the area overall is a bit annoying

[light swan]

i just couldnt give up dual blades i dont remember why

[candid kayak]

but the arena is good

[earnest drift]

smth like titans

[rich scaffold]

the boss fight sucks 😭

[light swan]

its been too long since ive played xcx

[earnest drift]

kingdom crushers

[candid kayak]

second sentinel?

[native canyon]

side slash and stream edge too good?

[light swan]

YEA and also blood sacrifice

[earnest drift]

I love high halls

[rich scaffold]

i mean the gank fight

[light swan]

didnt they also have something else about them or nah

[candid kayak]

the arena

the gauntlet

The Forum

[burnt helm]

The loud stompy thing

[light swan]

side slash and stream edge just nuked everything as soon as i got overdrive

[frosty kelp]

in hk what I can parry: This specific attack from this specific boss and it's only the only attack from the boss I can parry dang it
in silksong what I can parry: Every projectile and most attacks except for the contact damage attacks and hazard attacks

[earnest drift]

what would happen if a dog stuck its nose into Pharloom and sniffed

[candid kayak]

vacuum

[burnt helm]

If you're white and the bugs found you they would probably call you a pale being

[candid kayak]

black hole

[rich scaffold]

yeah i think that's the one

[candid kayak]

TRUE

[native canyon]

I wish the selection of signature arts was better because this shit's lowkey rancid

[candid kayak]

oh btw have you disabled clawmaidens?

[earnest drift]

uhhhh

[burnt helm]

Dogs getting a cut on its nose and yelping

[light swan]

i remember a lot about skell combat since that was the last thing i did in xcx

[rich scaffold]

wdym?

[candid kayak]

those robots that steal your silk

[burnt helm]

Now if an anteater found a bug kingdom

[earnest drift]

what bugs are capable of cutting a dog’s nose

[burnt helm]

Mass death

[candid kayak]

you can DELETE THEM FROM EXISTENCE FOREVER

[earnest drift]

yikes

[native canyon]

meanwhile longsword gets the mandate of heaven

[rich scaffold]

no? is that possible?

[light swan]

i think seventh edge is good but i dont remember lol

[frosty kelp]

me who beat hhg without disabling clawmaidens like a gigachad(jk it was my 2nd playthrough and I had witch sawtooth so even with clawmaidens it's a no diff)

[candid kayak]

yes!

[candid kayak]

and it's nearby!!

[native canyon]

iirc it's basically a budget true stream edge

[light swan]

IKRRR why blossom dance why hercules blow wjhy true stream edge 😭

[burnt helm]

I imagine those pins and needles are sharp enough to cut flesh if they can break carapace

[frosty kelp]

don't you need double jump to disable the clawmaidens tho?

[rich scaffold]

i think the bigger problem is my damage output is sihh, and i have 6 masks rn

[candid kayak]

you know this room?

[frosty kelp]

I'm pretty sure you need double jump or am I tripping

[crisp kindle]

If u get clawline before act 2 can you access every area besides the citadel

[rich scaffold]

no, i think i should explore more

[candid kayak]

you can hit the cart on the left side to push it

[light swan]

i dedicated so long to doing this specifically in xcx trhat i forgot everything else about the game

[candid kayak]

this is just above the arena btw

you can push the cart and then climb into the ceiling hole to enter a room

[rich scaffold]

oh, i see, i'll check, with upgrade this should suck less

[frosty kelp]

link to the map?

[candid kayak]

inside, there's infinitely respawning clawmaidens

[frosty kelp]

for shell shard farming OBVIOUSLY

[candid kayak]

ignore them, push carts along then climb into another ceiling hole and break the giant silk cluster

[native canyon]

yeah I only made a custom skell after doing all the superbosses lol

even then it was a simple zenith cannon build

[candid kayak]

https://scripterswar.com/silksong/map

[frosty kelp]

me who keeps the clawmaidens to shell shard farm

[native canyon]

modeled it after es asher from xenosaga

[candid kayak]

lmao

[burnt helm]

Could Hornet eat an entire potato chip or would it be too much

[candid kayak]

depends on the size...

[frosty kelp]

idk who made this map but

1. they should get a raise
2. DAng I wish I found this earlier cus I already remember the whole map 😭

maybe I'll use it for bilewater and ducts

[candid kayak]

lol

[frosty kelp]

not fully remembered yet

[candid kayak]

mm

[light swan]

i made one as soon as i could lol, i have 3 op skells rn

[ripe sapphire]

gng i completed act 1.

the last judge honestly pissed me off so much

because at the end even after you beat him he still explodes and that killed me

[light swan]

first time ive killed the clawmaidens actually

[native canyon]

I did invest time to make partially customized skells for the characters I care about (elma, lin, irina, nagi, celica) but honestly skell customization isn't that appealing to me

[light swan]

i wanted to leave the game with one cool accomplishment

so i oneshot pharsis and that was it

[native canyon]

yeah I oneshot everything except the 3 superbosses you literally can't oneshot lol

[light swan]

had an early skell (the one i used neilnail to grind on)

then made a strong ares 90 after that cuz ofc i would

then the pharsis oneshot skell

[native canyon]

ares 90,,,

[frosty kelp]

yo illu this is off topic but have you done any cool achievements in nine sols?

[light swan]

https://tenor.com/view/xenoblade-chronicles-x-prog-ares-leave-xenoblade-x-skell-gif-14142301743184576811

[light swan]

nah i stopped playing once i beat the bad ending

[sharp slate]

hey look im finally using bell lmao its so early in the game

[crisp kindle]

Nah but she can at least as many when stacked

[light swan]

nine sols' main appeal to me is the story so there wasnt much replayability especially cuz i played it on the switch

[native canyon]

erm that's prog ares 🤓

[light swan]

and i wanted to play other games

[frosty kelp]

bro beat true ending it's truly absolute cinema bro 😭 genuinely. It's beautiful. Also the story of nine sols is much more beautiful than I expected

I'm fine with you not liking the combat honestly

[native canyon]

@last dew hiiiii

[frosty kelp]

I see why some people wouldn't like it

[inland wind]

Nine sol’s main appeal to you was the story?? I mean each to their own but…

[frosty kelp]

but true ending is truly beautiful

[light swan]

due to switch low storage i could only play like 1 game on at a time

[light swan]

agreed i watched it after i beat the game

[inland wind]

That’s like eating ice cream for the cone

[light swan]

after beating the game i can still confirm nine sols' best aspect is the story

theres nothing crazy movementwise, the world serves its purpose but doesnt do anything crazy

[inland wind]

Well the story was nice, I’ll give it that

[light swan]

and ive said before but i dont think the combat is as good as people make it out to be

[frosty kelp]

I see why actually, it's more beautiful than I could have ever expected. It's truly absolute cinema. Would pay to lose my memories and do it again

[light swan]

the story is probably my 2nd favorite video game story ever

[native canyon]

I modeled my ares 90 after this guy from xenogears (not saying its name because it's spoilers lol)

[earnest drift]

story is my most valued part of a game

[frosty kelp]

imo it's currently #1 for me but that might change after e33 because e33 story is cooking rn

[verbal coyote]

omg i had 2 masks on steel soul am so goated

[light swan]

man i wish i had cool mechs to model my skells after

[frosty kelp]

WHAT ON STEEL SOUL??? WWWWW

[crisp kindle]

Crazy W

[earnest drift]

WOW

[light swan]

GGS holy shit

[inland wind]

W steel soul run

[frosty kelp]

I could never do cursed ending on steel soul

it's simply too risky

in fact the section of the game where you are cursed is already risky cus you can't even heal

[light swan]

what would you say is nine sols biggest appeal then

[flat trellis]

YEAHHH I JUST BEAT LAST JUDGE

Wtf

[inland wind]

I personally loved the gameplay a lot, biased because I love sekiro

[flat trellis]

YO SHE EXPLODED

[frosty kelp]

imo story and combat are balanced for me but story beats it out just slightly

[light swan]

what part of the gameplay tho

[inland wind]

Bossfights were big part for me

[frosty kelp]

prolly the parry

[light swan]

if its the combat then i understand you and i wont argue cuz i dont like the combat lol

[frosty kelp]

yes they are cinema

[light swan]

not liking the combat led to me not liking the bossfights

[verbal coyote]

it was my last chance to get that ending

[light swan]

the final boss is still peak but has the problem that if you dont like the combat system you wont like the final boss and thats what happened to me

[frosty kelp]

NGL ethereal was definitely the best boss for me just before eigong herself because she even had peak backstory just before the fight

[inland wind]

I do have critiques though, the bosses feel a little too similar gameplay wise but I still loved them

[light swan]

and outside of ||lady ethereal|| i cant remember any more exceptional bosses

[frosty kelp]

honestly fair enough. I've been really enjoying do challenge runs on eigong tho

[light swan]

spoiler the final boss name imo

[frosty kelp]

my end goal is hitless parryless jumpless true eigong

[native canyon]

play xenogears, it's very easy a potato could run it

[light swan]

ill play it if it gets a remaster

[native canyon]

it won't

[verbal coyote]

i need to get yarnaby asap

[native canyon]

there's optimism about xenosaga but xenogears isn't ever getting anything

it has been rereleased exactly once

[light swan]

yea so unlses im like super free im probably not playing xenogears lol

[frosty kelp]

especially because you're steel soul. GL

[light swan]

espoeciallyu since itsn ot on any consoles i own ill have to go through more work just to play it

[hardy stag]

Idk

[light swan]

anyway yea, while the bosses are awesome and the combat its just not for me lol

[native canyon]

sadge, I'd recommend you at least try if xenosaga ports ever get released because xenosaga after xenogears is a much better experience

[light swan]

the story definitely was for me tho

the story was easily the best part of the game for me and carried it to my 5th favorite game

[native canyon]

damn is nine sols' story that good

[light swan]

yea

ive told you before but its basically just xenoblade 3 lol but less peak

xenoblade 3 but without N and chapter 5 is still really damn good

technically its the entire xenoblade series as a whole

[frosty kelp]

it's kinda bittersweet. :(( lore is also peak

[light swan]

klaus saga but if everyone was a catperson

and klaus saga is REALLY damn good

i think part of why nine sol's story stuck out so much to me was cuz i was constantly going "...wait a minute" while playing through

[frosty kelp]

did you know that if you remove the tianhuo gene from solarians they become housecats? You probably did if you paid attention to Eigong's logs

[light swan]

and the true ending was the biggest "wait a minute"

[light swan]

i did know lol

[frosty kelp]

The game ending with Yi's character development leading him to Heng's philosophy is so peak

[light swan]

i love heng

[stable narwhal]

Am i the only one who thinks that unraveled’s body hitbox is NOT right

[frosty kelp]

It makes me kinda wanna learn tao philosophy

[light swan]

if its not clear i really enjoy white haired catgirls who have flutes

[stable narwhal]

I should not be getting damage from this

[light swan]

you should play xc3 @frosty kelp

[native canyon]

wait they're all cats in nine sols?

[light swan]

||the eternal cauldron is literally just xenoblade 3||

[light swan]

https://tenor.com/view/nine-sols-9-sols-heng-tianhuo-flower-dead-gif-13812056359883669633

[native canyon]

cat convention

[frosty kelp]

This came out kinda wrong XD
Anyway what I really like about Heng is that SHE RESPECTS OPINIONS. She never called Yi's philosophy wrong. Also her tao philosophy is cool

[light swan]

of course we all know what happens to the white haired flute wielding catgirls i like

[hardy stag]

Yeah that's why it's called nine sols they have nine souls fucking idiot

[frosty kelp]

bro..

nine souls 💀

[light swan]

LOL

[frosty kelp]

oh sounds so interesting

[native canyon]

dos uno

[light swan]

yea lol

it kinda works inversely tho

[verbal coyote]

am freed

[native canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/so-i've-heard-mio-xenoblade-xenoblade-3-cat-gif-2083144906438161397

[light swan]

if youve played xenoblade 3 first youve been spoiled for nine sols but theres still so much more to xenoblade 3 if youve played nine sols first

[frosty kelp]

I'm sure you understand that the chinese name of nine sols translates to nine suns and that sols is kinda another word for suns and that nine sols is based on a guy called Hou Yi shooting down 10 suns and that the sols DO NOT REPRESENT SOLS THEY REPRESENT SUNS AND IN THE EIGONG SOULSCAPE CUTSCENE WITH THE SOLS YOU SEE THE SUN SET AS THEIR LIGHT FADES AWAY BECAUSE THEY'RE DEAD AND SUNS PROVIDE LIGHT

The sun setting also represents solarians going extinct

[light swan]

oh the soulscapes

[strange comet]

hello hippies

[frosty kelp]

also I'm sure you understand why nine souls is wrong

:)))

[light swan]

maybe cuz the main character.... is the 10th sol....

[frosty kelp]

he's the sol of innovation

he's the sun that was left over when hou yi shot down the 9 other suns

[light swan]

back in the summer i had a revelation

[frosty kelp]

but in this case it's the sun beating up the other suns

[verbal coyote]

my only achiv today

[frosty kelp]

bro that's an amazing achievement

[native canyon]

is it like fire emblem engage

[frosty kelp]

I could never

[light swan]

at the time my top 4 as xc3, hollow knight, nine sols, and afterimage

3 of those games are metroidvanias involving entering someones dreams/soulfield/soulscape

[verbal coyote]

i have every background now

[light swan]

i think i have a type

[frosty kelp]

honestly hollow knight from a story perspective beats silksong

[verbal coyote]

i beat her with 2 masks i was goddamn scared i will lose my save

[frosty kelp]

recently I've been finding silksong combat boring but now that I've discovered parrying is consistent in silksong I'm setting out to learn it

[frosty kelp]

totally bro you were on 1 shot

[native canyon]

I find silksong more engaging from a story perspective because of a certain little scamp you fight multiple times

[frosty kelp]

XD ok

[native canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/silksong-silksong-lace-lace-heart-love-lace-love-gif-13329817441135155984

[frosty kelp]

the key word here is "engaging"

hollow knight's story is definitely not engaging

[light swan]

silksong combat is never boring with witch crest

[cerulean sable]

game 3 should be second sentinel

[frosty kelp]

the knight is like a bystander

[light swan]

the difference between hk and silksong is that hk is lore and silksong is story

[frosty kelp]

bro does not "engage" in the story

[frosty kelp]

yeah hk is like digging up lore

[native canyon]

second sentinel on the journey to find a wedding ring for hornet

[frosty kelp]

silksong is that hornet is directly involved in it

[native canyon]

silksong still has lore though

[light swan]

nine sols is the perfect balance between lore and story

[keen wharf]

yo guys whats a good beast crest build i got no help from the sk help nerds

[light swan]

i dont think its anywhere near as deep and good as hk

[leaden delta]

lore and story

ok so play the system erasure games PLEASE

[frosty kelp]

YES BRO SO PEEEEEAAAAAAK EVERYTHING ABOUT NINE SOLS STORY IS PEAEAEAAAAAK AHHHHH

[light swan]

swap one out for barbed bracelet if you want

[native canyon]

[light swan]

this is if youre good at the game

anything works in the silkspeed anklets slot

[leaden delta]

play zeroranger first though

[keen wharf]

i forgot to mention i am doing a no red tool challenge

[light swan]

https://tenor.com/view/nine-sols-heng-nine-sols-game-gif-12700480553358665451

[light swan]

dont use red tools then

[native canyon]

idk I like silksong's lore more

[keen wharf]

but i remember sawtooth circlet not working well with beast

[frosty kelp]

sk help is just this channel but you have to spoiler mark it's more like silksong no spoilers channel than help channel. This channel is more useful

[native canyon]

it also retroactively made hk better imo with the lore about pale beings

[frosty kelp]

Ah yes "not working well with beast" am I right?

[keen wharf]

fuck i am wrong

[light swan]

it works well with everything including beast

[native canyon]

anyways lace and gms are the best characters in the hk series with pk and thk as a close second

[frosty kelp]

sawtooth works well with everything

[light swan]

for me its pk > lace > idk

[keen wharf]

oh well time to practice skarrbitchmelita till i give up

[frosty kelp]

but on beast since your only blue is the vesticrest it's definitely more up for demand. On this playthrough I'll be using trobbio mirrors rather than sawtooth because I feel like it

[light swan]

yea same

[frosty kelp]

oh this is a good time to learn parrying

[light swan]

claw mirrors is good on beast its not as good as sawtooth but its certainly fun

[frosty kelp]

actually claw mirror and claw mirrors are probably better than sawtooth for hhg and coral tower

but like against bosses definitely sawtooth

actually specifically against tall bosses use sawtooth

I would argue trobbio mirrors against short bosses

[keen wharf]

with do the claw mirrors trigger on every hit with beast?

[light swan]

you can still circlet against short bosses its just harder

[keen wharf]

wait*

[light swan]

no, just once at the bind

[frosty kelp]

bro claw mirrors trigger every bind not on hit

[keen wharf]

oh thats boring

[frosty kelp]

it's funny

[keen wharf]

i mean

[light swan]

but you bind a lot on beast so its still fun

[keen wharf]

just use witch crest if you want funny

[frosty kelp]

:))))) it's a singleplayer game let me turn beast into a light show instead of being the beasty beast hornet becomes

[native canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/foxmel-lady-dodging-attacks-tiktok-gif-26609765

[light swan]

and im a witch user so anything to get that juicy bind

[native canyon]

lace dodging sawtooth circlet

[light swan]

😭 WHAT IUS THISSS

[keen wharf]

foreahluh my crungluh

[frosty kelp]

on short bosses I use sawtooth witch if I use sawtooth

[light swan]

https://imgur.com/kEh8eeI

[light swan]

witch IS my favorite crest :)

[keen wharf]

witch is pretty fun

but i like deleting bosses more

[frosty kelp]

imo mine is hunter because it's canonically hunter but witch is by far the most ELEGANTLY ELEGANT

[soft belfry]

Ngl risking a close bind with beast isn't worth it

[keen wharf]

so wanderer sawtooth circlet baby WOOOOOOOOOO

[light swan]

https://tenor.com/view/ss-sk-skong-silk-song-gif-6069929492524291916

[frosty kelp]

yeah definitely

[light swan]

i mean witch bind is the highest damaging attack in the game

and sawtooth pogos deal 2.25x damage

[keen wharf]

ima be honest beast crest is the one i have most fun with

[light swan]

and dash attacks by default deal 2x damage

[soft belfry]

But since witch is super close by default for bind it's worth

[frosty kelp]

hear me out what if both funny and delete boss

[keen wharf]

wait

[frosty kelp]

clean 250 damage

[keen wharf]

you can downdash

no it cant be

[light swan]

you always could

[keen wharf]

WHY HAS NO ONE TOLD ME THIS

[native canyon]

like I said, lace dodging sawtooth circlet

[soft belfry]

Relatable

[keen wharf]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[frosty kelp]

after discovering down dash I have just used it to beat up savage beastfly on my third playthrough cus I needed to land spears without being ambushed while bro charges back at me so I ahd to down dash to guarantee I dodge the charge

[keen wharf]

I COULD HAVE FARMED MONEY SO MUCH BETTER

[light swan]

sawtooth pogos are so fun

[keen wharf]

i wanna cry

[earnest drift]

but you died

[light swan]

shush

[keen wharf]

i could have been a capitalist so much more efficiently

[frosty kelp]

I mean like ofc witch sawtooth is very easily to use sawtooth but like anything else with sawtooth kinda hard

[light swan]

every pogo dealt 2.25x damage thats all i care about

wait no 2.5 since i have bracelet

[light swan]

reminder that every pogo dealt 51 damage !!! base damage is 21 !!!

[frosty kelp]

yessir

yo guys recently the chat has been less crestist

[native canyon]

ngl this doesn't seem that fun with witch, at least compared to hunter

[frosty kelp]

good job guys 👍

[earnest drift]

but flintslate

[keen wharf]

fuck my hands are shaky i cant do shit

[frosty kelp]

illu could use it but he doesn't like red tools

[light swan]

i was just spogoing for fun, that wasnt what i would actually do there lol

[keen wharf]

why the actualy doobiefuckus are my hands shaky

[earnest drift]

why do witch mains hate red tools

[keen wharf]

i hate red tools.

[frosty kelp]

I love red tools >:((

[light swan]

anyways heres some deathless spogos

[keen wharf]

like they make the game too easy

[ancient mortar]

Because red tools are lame

[light swan]

i like red tools idk what theyre talking about, im just not good at using them

[native canyon]

ough now I wanna fight lost lace again

[earnest drift]

i'm fine with red tools except curvesickle, cogflies and tacks

[frosty kelp]

my gameplay is typically with flintslate

last judge is graduating soon

[keen wharf]

widow route then judge?

[earnest drift]

thoughts on father of the flame as a boss

[frosty kelp]

I'll be moving on to watcher at the edge o7

[frosty kelp]

you mean phantom route? yeah because judge is a training dummy not a boss ❤️ my best friend last judge is so nice

[native canyon]

doesn't seem like there's much you can do against them in terms of crazy tech considering their block

[light swan]

honestly its the binds and the tight spogos that sell it for me

[ancient mortar]

hes fine

unique ig

[light swan]

spogoing between the triple dash is super fun

[frosty kelp]

no my homie watcher is for parrying practice

[light swan]

i like knocking them into sand

[sharp slate]

holy fuck shakra is neccesary for this arena (i won but it wasnt easy)

[frosty kelp]

https://youtu.be/VGHvkBcgFfc?si=OQpQ9xG6C-1C45nF

[native canyon]

yeah witch is probably better for ll just for the insane bind opportunities

[frosty kelp]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/922397482258944000/1432316584994799656/veryfair.gif

[light swan]

watched at the edge

[ancient mortar]

This is probably what it was like to fight the skarr before the haunting

[native canyon]

fighting karmelita's entire army lol

[light swan]

watcher at the edge is rdac bait

[frosty kelp]

bro forgot the final claws

[light swan]

but no chains unfortunately

[frosty kelp]

I think you mean dacs? rdac no chain is typically first sinner

[sharp slate]

probably terrifying xD

[native canyon]

gurr got to them

[light swan]

reverse dash attack, which is what im doing here

first sinner is normal dac this is rdac

[frosty kelp]

ah ok you are using rdac I had to watch the clip

[sharp slate]

god im terrifyied of widow still, 5x widow is gonna be horrible, 4x was barely possible

[frosty kelp]

I mean like you reverse dash then you attack so first sinner is more like rddac

[light swan]

reminder that karm arena is fun

[light swan]

yea but its not a reverse dash attack lol

[frosty kelp]

yeah so first sinner is like rddac chaining

I mean it's not chaining

[sharp slate]

arena - big guys is fun xD

[frosty kelp]

I mean it kinda is chianing

[light swan]

i guess

[light swan]

nah big guys are still fun

[native canyon]

ough I kinda wanna play silksong now and fight lost lace or smth

[light swan]

ill record rq

[blazing isle]

Yoyoyoyo

[keen wharf]

man can yall give me some tips for skarrbitch fuckmelita?

[light swan]

but what i do against the big guys are super fun

[frosty kelp]

can you explain what the white flash is? is it always there when you witch bind? am I tripping??

[native canyon]

I'm taking a sabbatical from ss because I need my hk muscle memory in top shape for r5

[frosty kelp]

OHHH I UNDERSTAND IT'S A PARRY

[blazing isle]

Focus,and believe in yourself.
Because you can do this

[light swan]

sawtooth circlet parried them i think

[frosty kelp]

had to carefully review footage

[native canyon]

FUCK I BURNED THE ROOF OF MY MOUTH

[graceful oyster]

Awww

[blazing isle]

City Boy?

[graceful oyster]

That sucks

Also hello

[blazing isle]

Zote probably would've gotten it done by now

[light swan]

i hope you stay safe and get well soon

[native canyon]

it's uncomfortable and I think I got ketchup stuck in my gums

[keen wharf]

i wanna believe in the act of jumping of a building rn frfr

[blazing isle]

[light swan]

I WAS JUST RECORDING AN ARENA

AND I GOT KARMELITA FIGHT WITH ONLY 1 HIT

AND IT WAS CUZ I TRIED TO BIND WITHOUT HAVING ENOUGH SILK

anyways @sharp slate this is what the big guys look like usually, theyre fun

[frosty kelp]

HAHAHAHA

[native canyon]

think the video cut weirdly

[frosty kelp]

nice one illu

[light swan]

oh hold on

[native canyon]

3 seconds of illusion dashing into the ground this is why you're the goat

[light swan]

this one

[frosty kelp]

LMFAO

[frosty kelp]

claw mirror???

why

[light swan]

this is my hitless save

2 needle upgrades, 3 crafting kits, claw mirror

[frosty kelp]

why is it nicknamed hitless save

[light swan]

not gonna bother sending the full video, just the part i got hit

[frosty kelp]

LMFAO the bind bar shake

[light swan]

cuz i do all my hitless fights on this save (except for my recent all crest karmelitas and the last judge)

[frosty kelp]

ohhhh

[light swan]

THE WORST PART WAS THAT I WAS 1 SILK AWAY

ONE FUCKING SDILKKKKKKK ITS WHY I THOUGHT I HAD A BIND IN THE FIRST PLACE

OPAIUEGJKMDV{PO"JETGPOIAJEIOGTJMA"P:OLEJDTP

[frosty kelp]

yo also is it just me and illu who name their saves

I'm curious

[native canyon]

I kinda wish there was a boss like thk in ss where low gear makes it insanely fun

[light swan]

i dont really name it its just that this savei s the one for hitless

[native canyon]

I'm talking like no shade dash

[light swan]

lugoli

[native canyon]

THE NON-BINARY BOSSES THAT GET INSANELY FUN WITH LOW GEAR

I'm not even gonna test it I'm just trusting you wholeheartedly

[frosty kelp]

my saves I have right now
save 1: Main save
save 2: Supposed to be witch only but I decided to learn sawtooth tech with other crests too
save 3: Parry save (I'm not allowed to dodge attacks that are parriable)

[earnest drift]

my second save is the weird route

[ancient mortar]

Voided lugoli with only 2 needle upgrades was pretty fun

[earnest drift]

for parry save are you using wanderer

[frosty kelp]

no

[light swan]

luygoli was the first bossfight i did with 5 hp and barbed bracelet

[frosty kelp]

why would I use wanderer I'd have to mash the parry button

my finger would hurt so ofc I'm using beast

[light swan]

i also did them with 2 needle upgrades

its super fun and satisfying

[native canyon]

oh for low gear I usually think like needle/nail 0 though I guess for act 3 bosses it'd also be needle 1 because tc hates fun

[frosty kelp]

yo also is it just me or does beast have the biggest parry window

[ancient mortar]

Really low gear would be to mod in cloakless crest

[earnest drift]

oh i thought it'd be better because faster attack speed

[native canyon]

I saw someone try lost lace with cloakless and they genuinely just got fucked by void waves

[light swan]

theyd probably be funner with nail 0

[graceful oyster]

I always name everything

[light swan]

anyways the last claws are so fun now its crazy

[native canyon]

onws equivalent for ss 🥹

[light swan]

i think theres something weird with the hitbox

[lofty shell]

[graceful oyster]

I think this video has an excellent name

[earnest drift]

wait why

don't you only need wall climb and dash to dodge those

wait you only need wall climb

well kind of it's tight

[leaden delta]

will never exist unfortunately

[frosty kelp]

no actually if it's like a consecutive attack like vicious carnid spin spin then I'd have to mash attack button which is really hard. Instead of I used reaper or beast I'd have to click the button less and more rhythmically

[native canyon]

because tc hates fun

[light swan]

i hate this video

[graceful oyster]

Oh that's what you meant I misunderstood

[leaden delta]

low gear functionally doesn’t exist in silksong and that makes me very sad because low gear was extremely fucking good in hk

[light swan]

im so good at this game

[earnest drift]

because sidequests are required for act 3?

[frosty kelp]

I had to download to see the name but LMFAO "quick little video for people who complain about backstep" is so peak

[native canyon]

lowkey I should do more bosses with low gear cause onws lost kin was insanely fun

[leaden delta]

no

[graceful oyster]

That's the one!!!

[light swan]

downdashing into the ground for 3 seconds was so funny i keep thinking about it

[leaden delta]

everything scales to nail so there’s no way in making things different

[frosty kelp]

I meant like naming my saves. What did you understand it as?

[leaden delta]

like in hk. the only thing ur doing in silksong is making the fights longer for no reason

[graceful oyster]

Saved videos since you mentioned it right after a flurry of clips

[native canyon]

you just mean silk skills right

[graceful oyster]

But yeah I don't necessarily name my saves

[lofty shell]

❤️

[verbal coyote]

dont even think of touching pilby

[ruby agate]

semi hot take: shakra is one of the hardest bosses in the game

[leaden delta]

yea basically

[light swan]

i stopped naming after a while

[frosty kelp]

ohhh ok

[ruby agate]

in my 120 hours of playing this game i have never once entered this room

[leaden delta]

so its just kinda fucking lame. at least low gear is elite in hk

[graceful oyster]

How do you have mio clips???

[frosty kelp]

I name them cus otherwise I wouldn't know which is which

[graceful oyster]

Demo prolly?

[frosty kelp]

dang. I still put the word save after the save name so like idk

[graceful oyster]

I didn't know it had a demo

[verbal coyote]

i can get to act 3 but ill get all fleas first

[orchid locust]

he works for mio he got early alpha pre release access

[feral basin]

Guys my friends brother is at sister splinter with no items no maps no health upgrades and no silk skills (and he’s frustrated he’s loosing what do I do??)

[light swan]

yea

its how i know mios my favorite combat system
