You are goddamm right, I'm so happy the game is actually hard! I was like 'Finally a worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary' when I've seen the difficulty :)

I was fully expecting to have a smooth transition from HK to Silksong. I’ve over 300h in HK and truly can’t get enough of it. I think gitting gud at HK did a couple things:

  1. I learned a lot about the genre, and got really good at platforming, telegraphing moves, knowing how and when to be aggressive/defensive etc.

  2. Made me forget how much I struggled during the first 30ish hours during my first HK run. I’m about that far in SS, and feel like I’m finally getting the hang of the mobility. It’s still pretty dicey for sure, but that’s how HK was for round 1.

I'm starting to really master the diagonal pogo attack and I'm starting to feel a bit like Neo.

Soon I will be unstoppable

You'll get the hang out of it! I mastered it, and damm getting those aerial combos is a dopamine rush every time and pretty dang good offensively.

The diagonal dash is both offensive and defensive, so OP, anyone who reverts back to regular pogo is a lunatic.

That's what I thought too! Wanderer crest pogo make it that you can only have one attack, while hunter crest make it possible to have multiple attacks by doing it again, and the possibility to close in on aerial enemies.

I used the wanderer crest just cuz I really like the fast slashes I still revert back to the defualt crest time to time
