Silksong & Symphony: A Metroidvania Mashup?

Are we seeing echoes of *Castlevania: Symphony of the Night* in the highly anticipated *Hollow Knight: Silksong*? Eagle-eyed fans are pointing out some intriguing character animation similarities.

While the debate rages on about the extent of the influence, one thing is clear: the "Metroidvania" label fits perfectly! Some are noting the control style of instant stops compared to sliding controls. Is it inspiration or coincidence?

What do you think? Let us know in the comments!
