----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to another episode of Challenger Approaching! In this series, we discuss characters who could find their way into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate or future entries, then go into ludicrous detail on what they would be like if they joined the fight for real!

This time...is rather unusual. Newcomer speculation migrates often between ideas, but a recurring topic is indie games and their position in Smash. Though we've seen Spirits, Mii Costumes, and an Assist Trophy based on indie characters so far, many still wonder if one could become a full-fledged fighter at some point. And while a handful of games and their characters are discussed as a potential "indie rep", Hollow Knight and its protagonist are surprisingly overlooked for the subject matter despite the game being so highly regarded.

But regardless of the odds--either perceived or actual--what could the Knight actually do in Smash? How could this silent, masked warrior turn the aesthetics, gameplay, and overall feel of Hollow Knight into a unique and interesting moveset? Let's find out.
