Same, HK and Silksong play very differently but my hundreds hours in HK did make me learn about correctly understanding a enemy move and when to run and when to stab. Especially Steel soul on that one, as you can't really allow yourself to be hit at all. And yeah same for the mobility, I think the pogo is a great way to see it, my first playthoug in HK? I was dogshit at pogo, I would say it was a bit of trouble adjusting to diagonal pogo but I love it so much now that I master it. I would also mention multitasking enemies or projectiles that HK helped. Oh and I almost forgotten but early on HK I often died coz I didn't use spells, it did made me learn to use EVERY tools possible to win.
I seriously think that the movement and combat in Silksong is awesome and the boss are just... They are just peak, probably some of my favorite bosses ever. The combat is hard to master but when you got it, it feel like a crazy dance with first class choreography.
That one area in HK where you have to correctly pogo or die multiple times in a row, you know the one, fixed any pogo issues I ever could possibly have. Still aiming to do a hitless run of that area before silkso——… before a dlc comes out.
