Hey everyone! Once again: Massive shoutouts to @jarlyk for creating this, as well as allowing me to take a look at it. Go check out his channel! Also, I want to say, that this will probably be the last TAS breakdown/reaction i post onto my channel, as i wanna focus on more original content that feels less leech-y off of other people's hard work. Reaction content is okay as long as you're able to add some interesting insight into it, which I feel I am as a speedrunner, but i still don't want my channel to be just that, if that makes sense. Have a wonderful day!
I've subscribed and it's kinda sad how underappreciated his work is. They are really awesome and I loved his work a lot. SUBSCRIBE TO JARLYK!!! THE RADIANCE DEMANDS IT
Yeah this is literally just a worse version of the original commentated Tas, you just say ‘wow this is so cool I don’t know what to say’ and ‘hey guys I don’t know if you noticed, but he actually makes the geo orbit him’
@@chlli Personally, I do enjoy seeing peoples' reactions. It adds another layer to the experience and it's especially fun as the creator to see how people process it. Also, just in case it's not clear, Blue made this video with my permission and blessing, so there's no theft going on here. Blue has a larger audience than my channel at the moment, so I'm happy to see a broader audience get to enjoy what I spent so much time making.
I like to imagine that when Hornet rescues the TAS Knight from the cast off shell, he’s still running like one one of those dogs that think they’re swimming
For the people that are confused about what Blue meant by "the movement is human, but inhumanly precise", this is what I am like 99% sure he meant. The TAS's movement tech (for the most part) is humanly possible. However, the way the TAS uses that movement, is far too precise for humans.
Yeah, like with NES tas they can press left and right at the same time which is physically not possible on an actual controller. Nothing like that here. So if you had infinite precision you COULD do this on a keyboard/mouse or controller etc…
A human could do any one of these inputs once with enough practice, but the likelihood of a human being able to string together multiple of these inputs in a single run is impossible.
@@Fogmeister it actually is possible to press both directions on an NES controller if you modify the dpad by filing away a little bump on the bottom. Repeated use of the controller eventually removes the bump on its own, so most speedruns allow people to just open their controllers and do it themselves.
I cannot, with human words, describe the amount of immeasurable anxiety i have felt the entire run despite knowing that it is a robot, not a human, and that it won't fail.
@@TheMightyGiantDad TAS is actually a robot by most definitions! My favorite definition of a non-science fiction robot is a type of automated machine that can execute specific tasks with little or no human intervention and with speed and precision, and as a TAS is essentially a coded run in which every frame is pre-determined which is then set to run (fun fact, the creator of this TAS actually made an anecdote about one of his TAS’s after being set to run while he wasn’t looking I guess had accidentally activated the Crystal Guardian fight and… died because it wasn’t coded to do that fight lol) it exactly fits that definition.
TAS is just insane bro this guy literally have beaten every single thing in the game and he plays perfect... he is the only person that can do those insane tricks, huge respects to him, i love this kind of videos. ;)
For those who don’t get the joke TAS is just a speedrun robot (as far as I know they’re only used for speedruns; don’t know what else they would be used for😐)
@FullAlchemist not quite but close enough. It isn't a robot, it's a person sitting there and using tools to create a playthrough..frame by frame, perfect inputs, etc. Then playing it back.
@@obsidianflight2758 TAS can also stand for Tool-Assisted Superplay in non-speedrun situations (like SM64 A-button challenge) but usually it is used in speedruns
I think the reason you cant dreamgate from beast den is so that if you get trapped the only way out is by breaking the floor/celing, just in case for some reason you hace dreamgate by that stage of the run
I'd love to see a "0 Geo left" run where you need to balance your Geo count perfectly on items you want throughout the run. It'd be such a fun category because of differing strats based on speed and what every individual is good at. Strats wise, where do you get an exact amount of geo from (because if you're one off, you need to grind for one more item to not have any geo left) and when do you grind for the geo to not have a massive block of grinding and then what's essentially a 0 Geo run for the rest of the game? What items would people plan on buying? That question is really fun to think abt for me because it could vary so massively depending on player's different strengths. On the other hand, a normal speedrun where you get what you need and just avoid all other geo would probably be the fastest route, but it's still fun to think about since there's more room for variation.
I either have seen this video or the original video, because I remember watching Gathering Swarm 0 geo TAS run. Or maybe someone else did the commentary too? Either way, I've seen it and it's incredible.
If anybody wants to subscribe to Jarlyk but doesn’t want notifications/to watch the TAS runs, you can choose “none” on the bell icon after you subscribe. No excuses.
For any who don’t know, because I bet there are people who will watch the full video, read the already existing comments and still not understand, TAS IS NOT AI! AI HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A TOOL ASSISTED SPEEDRUN! THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I HAVE HEARD PEOPLE CALL TAS AN AI IS RIDICULOUS, I HAVE HAD IT UP TO HEAR WITH PEOPLE NOT KNOWING WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT! TAS ARE HUMAN INPUTS, A HUMAN CONSCIOUSLY INPUTTED EVERY SYSTEM, JUST NOT IN REAL TIME Excuse my outburst, just had to get this off my chest. Have a good day everyone
New idea for a speedrun: Completed Charms. Get all 40 charms as fast as possible and complete all incomplete charms (fragile strength/heart/greed, grimmchild, kingsoul
What is Blue’s first language? I’ve heard him talking about how English is weird or not being sure what English word to use a couple times and I’m curious what his native language is
The circle the geo does with gathering swarm is possible in a normla run, it happendee to me 20 times in 97 hours of playing. Seeing it that cosnistent is quite shocking.

I watched his own commentary on it. I loved it and I hope you loved it too.

No wonder why Seer likes the Knight so much, they have glowing geo swarm as dense as a neutron star orbiting around them at all times
no, that IS a neutron star.
I cannot, with human words, describe the amount of immeasurable anxiety i have felt the entire run despite knowing that it is a robot, not a human, and that it won't fail.
Tas isn't a robot, it's a human playing in slow-motion with infinite attempts. You're right about the not failing though!

@@TheMightyGiantDadI’m super late, but that only applies on some TAS’s, such as Minecraft ones.
"Besides all the perfect stuff, this movement is relatively human."
i think he just meant that the movement, while being physically possible for us, is just that precise and consistent that its inhuman
It always bugged me that screen transitions cancelled the swarm, but if it enables this run to exist then it may have been worth it.
Finally someone using the patented “just spam the shit out of abyss shriek” technique

Gathering Swarm

Aaaaand they must kill every enemy in the rooms they enter
+ unbreakable greed
Plus hitless?
I wonder at what point this becomes impossible, even with TAS
Unbreakable Greed
@@6-10s9 + that mod that makes all Geo 1 geo coins
"No voice to cry suffering"
TAS-Knight: "I'm just gonna pretend I didn't see that"
“No Voice to cry suffering”
Tas-Knight: “”
I love the fact that blue is so excited about this. Like a child in a candy store
Tas in 30 min gets an awoken dreamnail:
I in 30 min who got to the Fungal Wastes:🗿
13:59 “It’s human movement except for the bits where it isn’t.”
I love finally being someone who watched the main video by jarlyk, knowing that it was going to be reacted to by fire and blue and whatnot.
I love the boss fights in this because the knight is just dogwalking these impossibly powerful beings
Kinda insane how this is 21:18 faster than MonStah’s rekky, great vid Blue.
I think that queen's garden arena might be a bit easier with gathering swarm since it helps clear the floor
I had the same thought at that moment, imagine if an actual person manages to use gathering swarm during a geo-less run as tech.
@@heck_n_degenerate940 That would be cool, but unfortunately you need geo to buy Gathering Swarm.
@@revnl17 damn, foiled again.
you could probably just avoid touching the ground without gathering swarm since theres no risk of picking up geo in the air
when the knight gets those massive clumps of geo, i wonder why the knight would even need the lumafly lantern
its also practically humanly impossible to make that TAS good job on making it jarlyk
also i love this video man keep it up :)
Yessss! I was waiting for this since I saw the TAS a few days ago!
The TAS is amazing, time to do it with unbreakable greed and gathering swarm XD
I think the reason you cant dreamgate from beast den is so that if you get trapped the only way out is by breaking the floor/celing, just in case for some reason you hace dreamgate by that stage of the run
Hear me out, 0 geo gathering swarm coliseum
That is easy. Colosseum enemies don't drop any geo. The only danger would be the end
I just watched this tas yesterday and now im happy to se blue react to it bcs its really crazy

It's like doing a whole Super Metroid run while dodging the baby metroid
Okay, there's nothing left. Team Cherry can't delay Silksong any longer.
P5 all bindings but it’s every boss at the same time
This reminds me of sm64 green demon (dodging the 1-ups that chase you in that game). Love it
Happy to see your commentary too after watching Jarlyk’s when theirs came out
cant wait to watch this and see this absolute chaos
Hell yeah, I saw this posted a few days ago and couldnt wait for your reaction
blue just turned into a sports announcer for the ending lol
Love it when Blue just screams in lowercase
“Try it with fragile greed.” 💀
Another one?? This is gonna be a fun ride.
I fear no man, but the TAS… it scares me.
18:22 "The design is very human"
I either have seen this video or the original video, because I remember watching Gathering Swarm 0 geo TAS run. Or maybe someone else did the commentary too? Either way, I've seen it and it's incredible.
I can't believe the tas didn't do path of pain
Tas glitches reaction eventually? That would be insanity.
The bugs trying to give him his money be like:
BRO YOU HIRED US FOR THIS
imagine if he actually makes the one blue said in the end
The reason soul tyrant was as fast as it was is because gathering swarm gives 0 geo speedrunners/Tasses unimaginable power
I dont know a shit about speedruns of hollow knight i just enjoy to watch this type of thung at knight for some reason, your voice is nice
Went through all that pointless precise button inputs when all he needed to do is get a minimum wage job.
been waiting for a while its finally here

this man deserves to have this title. he is literally “built different”
Now get ready for: 0 geo gathering swarm no spell true ending TAS!
Now make a mod that spawns a single geo after every load zone.
This is the most stressful speedrun I've ever watched.
"Now do it with fragile greed"
I hear hornet say gegtoo.
Hi blueSR. I am a big fan. thanks for a really good video :D
"But unfortunately knight went all out on wallcling storages, bumped its head and now its fucking dead"
Hollow knight lore🗿
this guy dodges geo like my father dodges alimony
The way it orbits around him is a Made In Heaven thing (Jojo's reference)
I still remember when I accidentally did wall cling storage in white palace
If this is the speed an which hollow knight tas's go, i can't imagine THE SPEED at which they'll go on silksong LOL
If a tas can play a game perfectly maybe it can make me pacakes perfectly.
THAT CHALLENGE AT THE END THOOOO
Absolute gathering swarm
someone should make this a "me dodging my responsibilities" meme gif lmao
It’s like super metroids baby skip but for an entire run
Was wondering when you were gonna cover this one

Imagine being part of the swarm
bro took the yellow pill
Who's this "TAS" guy he seems insane!
we got him to do it but now what
"Or whatever it is in English" is English not Blue's natural language? He's so dang fluent I thought it was
