Im sad that the COMMUNITY doesnt give Hunter the glory he DESERVES, he hás such personality with the journal entries and his backstory is good, also his "boss fight" its really funny

Considering how far Grimm got I guess people really enjoyed that custody battle for Grimmchild

Community really said "Bros before Hoes" I did not expect that.

Cornifer is an amazing character, but most importantly he got an hell of a waifu

Being honest quirrel was the character that made continue the game as I dropped it because I got very lost and didn’t know what came next and also my PC is absolute trash and the game was very laggy because of this, but then I saw a boss compilation of the game and said “wait he actually helps you fight a boss” and then came back to the game and realize how awesome of a game is hollow knight

Quirrel TOTALLY deserved the dub, he’s amazing, but I can’t believe they did Myla and Mato so poorly… They may not give you much but some lore, a broken heart and a charge attack you’re never going to use, but I love them both dearly and I’m sad they didn’t do better in popularity.

Old Stag is my favourite, glad they could get third.

I'm happy that last/old stag got so much love from the community. it's well-deserved

Funny how Hornet and Quirrel go up against each other in the finals. It’s not very common knowledge, however, that the two have already fought each other for real, though Hornet let up when she saw Monomon’s mask on Quirrel’s head. Do with that info what you will.

Happy it was Quirrel. One of my best memories is chilling with him on a bench in the City of Tears with the music and rain in the background.

Curious to see a community ranking on charms.

That one bench with quirrel in city of tears is one of the best places in all hollow knight

I never realized how interested i was in almost all of these characters, until i watched this video and found myself going "nah but how did this character do so bad, they're so cool!" on every pilar, lol. HK is amazing.

My girl Cloth deserved so much better >:( She stole my heart

cornifer best boy

I'm still mad about Tiso. Still mad.

RIP Myla, Cloth and Lemm. Three of my favourite npcs out in the bracket stage just because they got bad matchups

HOW DARE YOU ALL NOT VOTE FOR MY MAN NYMM, HE IS THE ONE SOURCE OF HAPPYNESS IN ALL OF HOLLOWNEST

when I found out Quirrel Zote and Elderbug were fighting each other I screamed in horror

Good ranking, i too think quirrel is best boi but cornifer DESERVED MUCH MORE, CMON

Glad to see Elderbug and Cornifer put up a fight, but Quirrel deserved to win. He was an awesome dude :D

Personally I would have had Cornifer as my overall favorite. I did agree with most head to head matchups though

9:23 HOW DARE THE COMMUNITY DO THIS TO MY BOI :(

Mask Maker is my personal favorite

Quirrel, Myla, The Hunter, and Hornet all deserve spots that are pretty high up. Quirrel being my all-time favorite, I am very happy with his win. Hornet did perfectly as expected, I'm sad when it comes down to Myla though. Now The Hunter has a lot of personality and notes added to the journal which actually fleshes him out pretty well. I thought he'd get past the round for sure.

I'm honestly suprised that Zote didnt make the top 4 and that Old Stag did but im very glad he did

I like snail shaman lady. She is mysterious. I wish we have more lore. She gives you a powerful spell casually, chills in the infection, and look at her dream nail text.

11 seconds in and if Quirrell didn't win I'm fucking rioting

Imagine Quirrel gets a game. Hollow Knight: Monomon-no-one That's a tongue twister right there

I love corny and Grimm and at least one of them made it in the top 4

I love how there are npcs in Hollow Knight that add literally nothing to the story but really makes the world feel real. Those obscure npcs like moss prophet and fluke hermit add that spice to the game.

The Old Stag is best grandpa :) he's legitimately my favorite HK character. He deserves to be happy

I'm not surprised it came down to hornet and quirrel

I legitimately cheered when Quirrel won cause I was totally expecting hornet to win

Didn't expect so much love for the Stag!

Me: oh, it Will be easy to pick your FAVORITE NPC of a poll The pool: 8:52

I have a confession: I...don't like Hornet that much. Like don't get me wrong, she's an amazing character but I think that my perception of her has been damaged by the fact that I did particularly bad in her boss fights, especially the second. When I see her all I can really think about is the frustration of dying for the 40th time and the pure feeling of rage that gets to me whenever she says "shaw!". Or anything really, the fact that she just won't shut up irritates me beyond words (this is also why I absolutely hate the Collector). I really Hope she doesn't make all that noise during gameplay. But apart from that, I'm sorry, because I recognize that she's a great character. I just prefer Willoh, who doesn't do anything but eating and quietly going "yakku-ya!" or Grimm, who at least has the decency to stay mostly silent (I don't think his throat is capable of screaming anyways) and blast some badass drums while kicking your ass, and he's the coolest guy in Hallownest.

Great Video! Keep up the good work.

Now we need a community ranking of Grimmstead vs unnamed moth, i need a 3rd party opinion to know which one is my favorite character Also after watching this i talked to Quirrel in blue lake for taking out Elderbug and Grimm

Will you make one of these types of videos for areas/sub areas(like hive)

I’m actually surprised Hornet didn’t win tbh.

I was waiting for this video

At least I got to quarterfinals :)

i was so exited to see battle between: quirrel, zote, and elderbug, they are some of my favorites, and i love fact that quirrel won tournament cuz he was, and is my favourite character in hollow knight

I almost screamed from excitement when I heard quirrell won, he's the best character and it's not even a question

STOP LITERALLY EVERY ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS PLACED LAST AT THE VERY BEGINNING 💀

I'm still sad Honret wasn't first she's my favorite character.

Nobody giving Bretta the love she deserves! My favourite is the old stag, best NPC in the game easy imo. Also glad to see elder bug get some love, tho not much sadly.

I love The Last/Old Stag When he tells you not to use the tram or to leave the Hidden Station as he doesn't recognise it, makes him feel like a parent in a way. And seeing all of the other stags in the final station as well.

Not sure if it was intentional, but the winner in the first bracket was almost always the last one in the order displayed, if not the second to last. Maybe those positions could be more randomized in future community rankings for added suspense? I really like this video format overall, just a small thing I wanted to point out.

I love divine(bc of unbreakable strength) the nail masters, iselda and stag battle the best :D💙

I’m very happy Quirrel won personally he is my favorite NPC

They did Cloth dirty she deserved much better

Cornifer and The Last Stag are the best in my opinion. Underrated NPCs I think are Tuk and Bardoon. Overall, Hollow Knight provides a super interesting cast of characters. Loved the designs

tbh, disappointed that elderbug didnt make it to final 4. hes by far my favorite. hes a cutie and has made me cry on many occasions.

So Quirrel is my all time fav, with Hornet no. 2, and the last stag as third, so I see this as a BIG win. 😊

Nah wtf is this, I don't think it would be that much if Cornifer lost to Quirrel, Hornet or the Last Stag, but Grimm!!? NAH MAN THE COMMUNITY IS DRUNK

Hornet is my favorite character. At least one of them. I know it’s basic but i just love her personality and connection to the knight.

Yayy well deserved!

You should do a "community ranks" of the Hunters Journal- aka every non-boss enemy in the game.

You’re so underrated!

I'm really happy Quirrel won, but I also expected Dung Defender to get much further than he did.

I know this is over a year late, but the disrespect from this community towards my boy Nimm is unforgivable

“I standing higher on a pillar. May someone get a ladder

Rip old lad Elder bug deserved more

Man this is such a dicey one hard to choose. If I had to choose one it would probably be elderbug or stag but quirrel deserves it too.

Quirrel! Quirrel! Quirrel! Quirrel! Quirrel!

My boys Brumm and Nymm didnt even make it to the second round :(

I need some fellow grey mourner stans to reply to this so I feel slightly less alone lol

Glad to know I'm not the only one simping for Grimm

i feel like it shouldve been quarrel, cornifer, stag, and then sly. The 4 of them help you across the game. shit even cloth sacrificed her life when fighting the traitor lord

10:17 it has finnaly happened, two of my favorites, toe to toe.

This absolutely baffles me

Do you still exist? I would love to see an enemy bracket. Like just general respawnable hunters journal enemy. Huge project but sounds fun! Could maybe do separate videos and do them by location?

Quirrel deserved the dub for real. My child deserved better in the game to the point where my most recent quirrel blue lake i screenshotted and made my discord wallpaper

Community charm ranking when?(thats a joke lads) This video is a testament to how dedicated some people are to following your polls

"They're still your favorite and that's what really matters." No. It's the children who are wrong.

I'm both happy and unsurprised hornet and qurrel were in the final 2

i just ran through all of the steps in my head, cloth beats last stag in the finals

Wow didnt expect the 1st place rly.

quirrel is the second biggest homie in gaming slightly behind solaire

Is it just me who made it to the lake but didn’t find quarrel

11:20 good. Yes. I NEED IT

WE STAN BRUMM

im kinda sad the dreamers didn't make it past the first round, i really love them

My Top 3 Got In The Top 4 I'm So Happy Right Now!

My list is like: 1. Lurien 2. Mask maker 3.Cornifer 4. Quirrel 5. The last stag I don’t really see Grimm as NPC so I didn’t add him-

I can’t believe they snubbed bretta AND lemm in the 1st round.

I can't believe yall did herrah dirty like that, she deserves better

BARDOON IS THE BEST BARDOON DESERVES 100%

I am shocked an appalled at these results.

Honestly I'm surprised Quirrel was more loved than Grimm, but hey I can see why. It's hard to not love the honorable Quirrel with his likable personality and surprisingly major role in the vessel's quest.

My favorites are quirrel , zote , myla , dung defender , old stag and mr harold

I am so incredibly disappointed that Zote did not get 57% of the votes. This is a sin.

Tbh forgot abt Quirrel. Surprised he got first

Man Tiso got stomped just like in the pantheon. *womp womp*

I think you did some math wrong with the Grimm round (pun intended), I counted and it add'd up to 99% not 100.

my favorite is nailsmith sad he only got through the first one

MY BOI QUIRREL YOOOOOOO

I wish Brumm had more screen time
