Managed to get a documentary-oriented video out finally. On first glance and if you know my channel, this video title might be a bit surprising to see for more or less the third time now. But no, this is a brand new list with multiple new additions that couldn't have been added to the Demon version of this kind of list. I will go in detail in the video what this list is about so I will just keep it at this for this video's description. I would have provided with footage only from me and not have to resort to using footage from other channels but with Mega Hack not having the bot available at the moment + other bots sucking compared to MH, I went for the easy route.

Couple of corrections, I figured I wouldn't get everything right:
Aurorus' verification was of a noclipped recording due to the original being claimed to have been done off-recording, although this was still proven to be hacked and thus would still invalidate said verification.
WcropoliX was not remade by Blass specifically but by KeyDashMaster once again, so a small inaccuracy on my part.
Slaughterhouse was indeed verified by someone before Abyss of Darkness, so my point at the start of that segment is completely redundant. It would seem that players view VSC to be harder than Slaughterhouse hence the absense of it here, which take that as you please, it is a subjective list put together by a group of people.
I've seen a couple of people mentioning SonicBath which yea fair, I suppose I missed that one even though much like InvisiBath which I removed from the list are horribly irrelevant. They don't really add anything to the list so while I am annoyed to have missed a level, SonicBath wouldn't add a single thing to this list's impact in the end, much like CataBath they are pathetically boring to talk about.
Stormfly do you really think Alphabet X is harder than Acropolis? No one I ever talked said that Alphabet X is harder than Acropolis, even Zobros himself spent way more attempts on Acropolis (about 9000 on Acropolis as he said in one of his QnA comments vs 2126 attempts by him on Alphabet X)
GDDL also thinks Alphabet X is way easier, only Tier 16 while Acropolis is Tier 17 closer to Tier 18.
another thing, at 27:38 you showed the ingame account "koreaqwer" for koreaqwer, but his actual ingame name is Jindotgae. the person with the name "koreaqwer" is a completely different person
@@solarion13 Yea you're right and I genuinely know that, I just didn't think about it when picking those images, damn it.
@@G0ldcraft Zobros did himself say in the same Q&A that he thinks Alphabet X is his hardest. I'd imagine Acropolis gave him a skill boost.
Something I always found lame about these lists is that it would always go something like demon park, then to the grave, then the hell world, silent club, etc. and a whole era of legit play was never shown. Really glad you showed the real progression of skill
Yo Tride
Wassup mr tride what’s your favorite demon you beaten
Good point
Storm saying invincible instead of invisible is so fudkign funny
Ikr 😂😂
Invincible deadlocked 🔥🔥🔥🔥
its a language thing, english isnt his first language. its funny but not something to point out like this
I was so confused for a second when he started talking about beating the levels invincible 😂
Every time he said it in my mind it was just the cut to title card [INVINCIBLE]
The funny thing with Blind Blizzard and Sightless Sandstorm is that I didn’t intend to beat the hardest levels at the time, I was just pushing myself because I genuinely enjoyed playing them.
It’s incredible to be in a video like this, and I want you to know how much I appreciate you including these two levels. The one thing I’ve wanted to do in this community is give people hope that they can achieve anything that they put their mind into, whether that would be in-game or IRL. I hope both of my invisible verifications convey that.
Congrats on verifying 2 top 1s dude :) Also, according to the unrated demons list they’re both even harder than firework
Invincible*
those are great achievements, like, beating TWO ridiculously hard levels, also completely INVISIBLE, like wtf dude

Good job on verifying cataclysm!! :D your achievement will always be remembered
@@Flyingturt1e Why is this the first reply under a Giron comment
You finally got your credit.
I've always been more interested in the hardest legitimately verified levels. Nice update video.
also zodiac was verified on the same day as thinking space
@@ngngngr Zodiac was a few hours before Thinking Space
Slight potential correction: it is actually unknown is Cyclic actually hacked Cataclysm as there is nothing suspicious that has been found and it’s thought that the reason why Cyclic confessed was that he felt guilt due to his definitely hacked levels (the hell zone and sonic wave) note how in his confession he only confessed to hell zone and sonic wave at first and only confessed to all his hardest completions after being asked about any other cheats
SILENT POTENTIAL CORRECTION NEW TOP 1
@@fireindahole-777alt Thank you for pointing that error out I would have not realised that Amazing Autocorrect
@@ItsLux1211 Imo considering that his new completions were only insane demons after the confession, I think that Cataclysm is most likely hacked
@@xRetroWAVE He has beaten some pretty hard stuff (both new and old) so it wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility for him to have beaten cataclysm
6:55 I vividly remember the single character bug happening in a later update, probably in 1.5 or 1.6, so it's very likely the bug wasn't originally patched for everyone. Changing the keyboard on the Android phone I was using back then seemed to fix it, meaning it's probably not *really* a GD bug, but I don't think it's unlikely others suffered from this. If you played Geometry Dash on a Samsung Galaxy S3, you'll probably know what I'm talking about.
Edit: There's a massive difference between 'invisible' and 'invincible' 🙂
KrmaL verifying Phobos on 60hz is still probably one of the most underrated and arguably the hardest achievement at the time

You forgot Sonicbath by Sunix verified on May 12th 2017 by Sunix again. It's Sonic Wave with an extension of modifed crack and modifed asonicmen of Bloodbath at the end of it.
Yeah.
@@sameeknowsitallsurprisingly for having over 400k views on the video, it doesnt get recognized as "hardest ever beaten level" at its time
he also forgot invisiwave, sunix passed it a couple of days after sonicbath, although I have no idea whether it’s more difficult or not, it’s very difficult to compare
Fun fact: If your old ass Android phone has a physical keyboard and can run old versions of GD, you can type more than one character using that physical keyboard

45:33 that transition tho🔥🔥🔥
0:01 Why my brain was saying "this is your daily dose lf Geometry Dash"
lol
HELL YEAH i've been hoping to see a new update to this! Thank you :)
Robtop did actually say that he'd add his own version of CBF to the game, just to "Not Get Your Hopes Up" whatever that means
and it seems like the demon list is slowly moving away from its approach of needing levels to be rated to be placed on the top spot, which would effectively change the list into what this video is, which I personally do prefer
Same
I don't think the list is liable to include things like alternate versions of levels or challenges, but unrated unique levels, sure.
@@plasmakitten4261 yeah I was thinking about that, they would most likely have a level of quality control for levels, only putting levels on the list if they meet specific criteria and such, as for challenges, they have their own list, so yeah

@@Gherkin exactly. I thought it wasn't funny, SantaCloos thought it wasn't funny. You (somehow) thought it was. Besides, agreeing or disagreeing with someone will never change the fact that they are able to state their opinion with a reply, and I felt like replying because it was a corny ass joke
this is actually an extremely impressive video, like how deep did you have to dig to find out that a random unrated level with JUST 11 LIKES was the hardest for its time?! crazy dedication to research
The transition at 45:33 from SWI to arcturus is crazy. Love that.
So happy to see Back mentioned! One of my all time favorite creators and someone who is so unfortunately forgotten to time, thank you for mentioning their work!
50:42 That was certainly not a “small” nerf

i beat stalemate like 2 months ago and i was like "wtf this is so easy for an insane demon"...

Two small tidbits that hardly matter but I wanted to nerd over:
• official level IDs differ from online IDs, so Can’t Let Go shouldn’t have an ID listed
• Practice mode completions were first removed in 1.02, not 1.1, but iOS didn’t get that update
In the games code can't let go is referred to as ID 6. You can't find it in the level browser, but it effectively is ID 6 by all means, other than that.
You forgot SonicBath! Sonic wave with 2 parts of bloodbath at the end verified by Sunix after sonic wave (yes i know it’s stupid but in the context of this list it counts)
pretty sure Sakupen Realm was also a former top 1 but ppl were skeptical about its legitimacy.
@@mcguy7777 yeah they were both missed
@@mcguy7777I think sakupen realm was very controversial so it didn’t make the list.
something pretty major to note, that i would like to share.
According to Bradenbowl, the only player who has completed all levels in question, as well as being the only person to give a real opinion, both invisible levels are harder than Firework and easier than Slaughterhouse, meaning that these 2 levels would not be dethroned until VSC, making Sonic Wave Infinity and arcturus not the hardest levels beaten at any point in time.
🎉
true
small correction: despite its insanely high difficulty, tidal wave is claimed to be one of the most fun top 1s of the recent years by pretty much everyone good enough to play it. i know it's just a small detail, but it genuinely made me a little mad because you used it as an argument for top demons being dead and horrible
And that's all the level has to offer???
Stormfly was totally correct of using it then
Top demons are still mostly horrible, but definitely not dead
@@ERRR0RRtf do you want a top extreme to offer? lmao
@@ERRR0RR he used it by saying "200 frame perfects which just sounds like misery", and this as an example for how top demons are getting worse and worse. and in this case, that is just not true because not only is tidal wave fun, but there are a lot of upcoming top extremes that are, unlike he stated, highly anticipated and loved by the community (amethyst, grief, ascension to heaven) and many of them also seem to be fairly enjoyable.
@@FRBFStudios You can't tell us that Grief looks enjoyable to play D:
45:29 that transition from swi to Arcturus was CRAZY
Sorry, can you explain again why Slaughterhouse isn’t on the list? I didn’t follow what you said about its first victor not naming till 9 days after AOD’s, since Doggie cleared Slaughterhouse in December 2021, several months before Cursed cleared AOD in April 2022.

55:04 don’t worry, tidal wave is actually decently fun to play according to the victors and people with progress on it unlike acheron which is mainly unfun due to it’s extremely condensed difficulty which tidal wave avoids due to being longer
Also Acheron's first jump
@@MyHandleIsAplaceholder180 fps frame perfect
ur telling me that I’m jumping from natural step to a former top 1?… well at least I get bragging rights
when you said tartarus and then 2019 i nearly had a heart attack. I still feel like bloodbath was verified 2 or 3 years ago.
ACHERON is two years ago 😭
we have pushed the boundaries of difficulty so much that these levels aren't super exciting anymore
its kinda funny how old difficult gp compares to nowadays, its like back in the early days it was mostly memory and fakeouts to add difficulty along with hard timings
Silent Clubstep wasn't nerfed by a small amount and it became worse in 2.2 due to 60 FPS physics making cube jumps smaller compared to 360 2.1, meaning that in 2.1, for example, ratio between same timings in versions was 2:1, while in 2.2 it became 1,3:0,3
I was here since the original hardest levels compilation
I'm happy it's getting continued! :]
(This was not what I was hoping for but it's still great!)
The ending really sums up everything although it really hurts to hear and accept. When I first got into the community, top demons were respected not just on the basis of difficulty but as an actual level, where the levels weren't so discardable and discarded as newer top 1s now. I still am fond of Zodiac, The Golden, VSC, BloodLust, etc... But newer ones feel discarable - there's no point to care about them besides difficulty and it's all saturated. And now that 2.2 released and advantages have basically been made illegal, it feels like either a nail in the coffin or a big barricade. It's sad and hurts, but a halt to everything rather than continued oversaturation is ideal.
That is literally just bias. You people are pathetic and you should genuinely be ashamed for taking such a stance stormfly. This has nothing to do with lack of identity, Robtop is just a jaded piece of shit who can’t hit too buttons to rate a level. Also cbf isn’t cheating and unless Robtops version (which probably won’t come out for years) is EQUALLY as good, we will keep using it. Cry
i think most of these statements are being very overdramatic. i mean, not only is tidal wave actually extremely fun, but there are a lot of incredible and anticipated upcoming top 1s such as amethyst or grief (which also seem to be fairly enjoyable).
Literally only Tidal Wave and kinda Avernus are discardable, Acheron and all the upcoming top 1s are still just as awesome
@@ERRR0RRacheron is terrible in terms of enjoyment, tidal wave is actually very fun according to victors
the state of top demons nowadays is pretty sorry, but I wouldn't say top demons have been very respected ever (Besides maybe bloodbath?) They've always had controversy, ever since To The Grave, those that were around for the release days of most of these will know there was a pretty big opposition to all of these top demons, not everyone was as fond of Zodiac in 2019 as people are nowadays, I guess age changes people's minds
I would argue Phobos, even compensating for demonlist/community bias towards Bloodbath near its verification, didn't deserve to be placed higher in 2016 because it wouldn't truly reflect the skills of most of the community. 144hz players were hard to come by in that time and 240hz+ was out of the question, plus straight fly as a feature had hardly been mastered by most players. You can see the difference on the LRR (Low Refresh Rate) Demon List, where Bloodbath still ranks far above Phobos.
In 2016, most of the Demonlist staff members(Michigun, Hinds, Zobros, KrmaL, SrGuillester) were 60hz or mobile, Bloodbath is harder than Phobos on both
As a 60hz player I can confirm that Bloodbath is WAYYY harder than Phobos
I absolutely love you covering obscure geometry dash history
Man how much do I wish that Centuple had made more levels. Primary Maze is such an interesting level. It's still an insane demon in-game today and nobody wants to touch it with a 50 foot pole. It's really sad that we didn't get to see anything more from him. Even just seeing Superlative maze finished would've been so cool to see and who knows, it may have dethroned ICDX too and become a hardest demon for 2 updates. He could've become such a legendary creator but instead all we got was one true level. Just makes you wonder what could've been.
It really is super cool. A level that went past the length of a song is so innovative despite sounding simple and obvious
Your editing style feels like i am watching you uncover lore for a horror game
thank you for including silent clubstep
It goes with the rules of the vid so yeah
level got robbed bro 😭
could’ve been top one until tidal wave
@tm3ind no its easier than acheron
F*ck slh bro it's the reason why acheron,silent clubstep, aod and kyouki that got robbed in spots because of how overrated and intense it looks
50:40 incorrect, that update is actually unnerfed silent clubstep with skip/bug fixes and also buffed like fixing the saw and the 34% ship gap buffed, the actual nerfdate video is titled as "Silent clubstep [Official Update] (Possible)"
So who’s beaten an old Top 1?
I feel like I remember hearing somewhere that that one almost frame perfect click at the start of The Hell Zone is actually significantly harder on higher refresh rates, and so by the standards of 60hz it would be significantly easier than other levels it outranks in this video, but on 144 it gets there. So you wouldn't have thought of it as a new hardest level at the time because the community still hadn't fully adopted 144 as the standard.
People who are good enough to actually play Tidal Wave tend to think its pretty fun, idk where the idea came from that it was horrible to play
literally just assumption bc they're jaded
make this comment blow up so he sees it it made me genuinely so mad cuz everyone who played it stated that its one of the most fun top 1s ever
Tidal Wave is so fun, it’s made so many older players come back to beat it. Mycrafted, Technical, Riot, Cursed, and many others. It’s also so fun, people are willing to jump from easy demons all the way to top 1
He didn’t say it was horrible to play, just said the amount of frame perfects sounded horrible
@@tomatoboy4950 he was basically overall implying that tidal wave was horrible to play.
the timeline shouldve been: vsc, firework, slaughterhouse, then aod i think, unless vsc is harder than slaughterhouse. it was firework that got verified before the first legit slaughterhouse completion, not aod
edit: nvm
are you harder than all of these
VSC is abit harder than firework afaik
@@1cn1cn1 slaughterhouse shouldve still been there at least tho
@@TacocatGD yeah
Looking at this video makes me say
Damn Korean players were insane back at the time
Even i get some akward impressions about Primary Maze and its Sequel
viruz mentioned
but for real, by the time he beat athanasia, it was doomed to never gain any traction and i think thats what contributed to him slowly losing interest in the game from that point on. i was a very frequent face in his discord server back in the day and observed how he was making levels, and he did make some amazing levels for the time. sadly he was not recognized for who he was and now it seems that his achievements and creations are just a fleeting memory.
10:35 the lad is a professional rhythm gamer
invisible black blizzard and sunset sandstorm being former top 1 levels is so funny
I'd love to see this video recreated in a few years to see how it has changed from new information
like 1 more level (difficulty has plateaued)
@@speedyjet you never know, there could be multiple new top ones by as soon as the end of this years
@@DiamondCookie47 Not more than maybe 2
Extremely W vid, I’ve been waiting for this since 2019. I’m glad FHL exist on the ILL list as well (the purple one)
33:08 what about mefewe??? 98% death
What a great look at the history of the game, always love these documentaries that make my back hurt progressively more (What do you mean PPF was verified almost 7 years ago noooo)
Some points that are sorta related:
A type character bug persisted to mobile in a different field, that being the song ID section only allowing 6 digits, meaning quickly the poll of songs that mobile players could search got stuck starting January 28th, 2021 as Newgrounds songs went past 6 digits. Not a huge deal as downloading the songs was till possible, just required a workaround of having the song set from a different device or level. This has been patched in 2.2 thankfully
For Wcropolix I have the very vague memory of the creator of the original level, Keyblade, never endorsing the remake in any way and actively not wanting it to be rated, however I cannot cite a source if that was the case, so the comment isn't worth much unless you were able to track back the creators again (Which may as well not even remember what happened as it's been ages)
Also I hope you have been well! The 2.2 update sure has changed a lotta stuff and I know it's probably not been all well for everyone but I hope some recent stuff in the game is still cool for you!
hot take: at 9:17, the level 'Happy Flying' by Rabb2t (one of the hardest insane 9* levels) is harder than demon world. i've completed both and i had much more trouble with happy flying. the id of happy flying is 100584. i suggest giving it a go and telling me if im wrong or not. i am a mobile player btw and everyone back then was a mobile player so i would take that into account as well
You're not wrong, this pile of crap is for real harder than Demon world, but - Happy Flying received a huge buffdate in 2.0, and the original verified version is more of easy demon difficulty.
@@G0ldcraft actually the last update was 9 years ago, so it would've been 1.7 - 1.9
Happy flying was easier when it came out.
If I was you, I would include Ultimate Destruction since it's the oldest known level to exist.
i don't think that was harder than can't let go
@@Kaika433 But it was before Can't Let Go for sure.
@@MichTopGD true but technically is not a geometry dash level, it's a geometry jump level 🤓
ultimate destruction never came out, and all of the rest of the levels on the list did, making me believe that this is a list of levels that actually got released
@@Kaika433geometry jump is the same thing!!!!!!!
BROOO, this is the sequel of all time, I know your videos are kind of a secure source of informacion, this is amazing!!!
I thought the bgm for the cataclysm section was familiar, turns out it is indeed "I might be wrong". Nice! I think it is underrated in the radiohead community (no, Let Down is not underrated)
Hey stormy you should make a video about the "SIMG" series by Luna!
LunarSIMG is unbelievably skilled, I think he could beat today’s high end extremes if he got a good computer
I think with the end imo Rob needs to be careful on developing an "ego" 😭that is what the whole Tidal Wave thing felt like almost, like he wasn't rating out of personal bias, and with the CBF thingy that is also feeling the case, his game is run by the community, so listen to the community.
He has the right to that ego perfectly. It's his game, he can do what he wants to do with it.
@@averagelizard2489 Of course, I am not saying otherwise, I am just saying it is stupid when his game exists due to the community, he owes them some respect and should know that if he doesn't give it then his game could very well fall apart
@@RaveGD72 He doesn't owe them anything. It's his game. That's like saying I gave you 50$ to clean my house, and then 8 years after I tell you you owe me 10$
TW wasn't rated for so long because the level wasn't good
@@averagelizard2489 Yes, he doesn't *technically* owe the community, but common sense says he listens to them because they make his game popular
btw both sightless sandstorm and blind blizzard are above firework on the unrated demonlist, and i think braden said sightless was harder than slaughterhouse
23:22 correction: Cyclic verified Cataclysm, there were no signs of hacking in his completion. The only levels he hacked were Sonic Wave and The Hell Zone, I can't believe people still think Cyclic hacked everything
There’s no proof weather cyclic hacked cata or if he didn’t.
he confessed to riot hacking everything in his channel
@@kanade00000 he confessed twice: #1 to hacking Sw and The Hell Zone, #2: claiming that he hacked all of his demon completions which just isn't true. Riot and a lot of other people think Cyclic lied about hacking everything in order to leave the community
Cry about lol keep riding his shit
ikr
ITS FINALLY HERE
how about diabolic clubstep , i was legit verified by sevant and its for sure harder than tartarus
Verified after blind blizzard which is harder
Diabolic is considered easier than Tartarus
nah thats what ppl thought then, most ppl agree its about the same now, even then im not sure but i think blind blizzard was beaten before that.
@@brachiozaur6745 I have progress on both diabolic clubstep is clearly harder
@@StatisticEverything I thought that diabolic clubstep was verified first thx for letting me know
New level: Saying invisible instead of invincible (impossible demon)
Hello cycling runner
@@ZionArcski17 hello golf runner
New stormfly documentary?! wooooooooo!
31:01 it also looks a lot like infernal abyss
I really liked the video and the approach of which were the actual hardest beaten levels at the time.
However, I'll use this comment to vent off a bit about so many people slandering top demons. I don't think that modern top demons are less enjoyable than old ones and I do think that pushing the difficulty further is a good thing, these are my main two arguments.
First one, new top 1s aren't worse: The obvious point is that Tidal Wave, your leading example, is considered to be as fun as a top 1 can get by about every top player who's played it a lot. That's not a strong argument on my part either though, as it's just one simple level and levels like AoD, Acheron, Slaughterhouse and many more were indeed considered absolute ass by most (gp wise). I also agree that there's way too many cash grab top one projects with no creativity and thought put into it (Avernus, the two billion Slaughterhouse remakes, etc.). My main point however is: Top ones never were made to be fun, they were made to be top 1 and people just stick with them because of nostalgia and because they're much less out of reach to beat nowadays due to no mental blockade of being the first and better strategies/ technology. Sonic Wave plays like ass, Bloodbath is unenjoyable imo (I know many would disagree but just look at how long it took for its first victor, so many people tried and gave up and I know many who hated playing it), the old impossible levels now beaten are pretty much all considered as some of the most draining things to play. You yourself mentioned, how, in the very early days, difficult levels used to be dislike bombed and I don't think that means they were considered fun. The most difficult levels at the time were ALWAYS mentally draining challenges of brute force and dedication, that's why it's hard to push the limits, it always has been. And Bloodbath or Cataclysm seemed just as unachievable to most people at their height as top levels today. People remember the great stories of success, the victories and maybe look back with nostalgia to those times. The struggle to beat Bloodbath or Bloodlust are looked at with admiration while the struggle to beat Tidle Wave, or Firework, etc. are seen as “why are they so stupid to play these garbage levels“. You think Knobbelboy enjoyed Bloodlust when he took 8 months to beat it after his 98% fail? Of course not, and yet it's apparently one of the greatest top 1s of all time. Top 1s are almost never fun for the first few who beat them. Demon Park wasn't, Bloodbath wasn't, Sonic Wave wasn't, Bloodlust wasn't, Tartarus wasn't and so on. Of course not all are bad, it's just that pushing the skill boundry is an immense challenge of perseverance.
Now the second argument, why pushing difficulty is important: Straight up, I think it's (at least one of) the biggest reason(s) that GD has stayed relevant and kept increasing its relevance over the years despite 7 years of no updates. This game has pushed difficulty further than almost any other game. It's a beautiful embodyment of the human drive to overcome a challenge, keep improving and competing to achieve the highest goals possible. To some degree, a progression from easy levels to getting harder step by step is something literally anyone who's played this game has experienced, whatever their hardest may be. For that reason, it's inherant to wonder about how fat one can go and comparing own achievements to those of others. It's fun to speculate and to watch the legends at the top overcome the boundries. It's simple philosophy and a core drive in humans and GD encorparates this unlike anything else I've ever played. The hype around new top levels, altough quite often ridiculous, has helped keep this game appealing to many over a long time now and for the time being, it doesn't seem to stop yet. Plus, oberblown hype around top 1s isn't a new thing either, it's just that the community is much bigger now and we have way more platforms for discussion. Yatagarasu, Black Blizzard, Bloodbath and Bloodlust were all levels with unbelievable hype attached, and honestly imo only BB really deserved that much. They're all well received levels and I hold them very dear to me as well but Yata and Black Blizzard did not even achieve top 1, and Bloodlust technically wasn't top 1 for all that long if you consider Crimson Planet.
That's enough rambling though, I respect your opinion and hope you somewhat get my take on it. Have a nice day! :)
Edit: Also it's not like a higher difficulty cealing prevents easy and fun to play levels from being made. Some mind blowing projects in recent years haven't been demon at all and there are also a lot of very fun and interesting demons including extremes.
I still think that Cyclic was indeed the first person to ever clear Cataclysm since there are no actual signs of cheating in his video.
great vid btw
Yeah. Giron currently has credit but with cyclic cata it could be 50/50
so happy to see bicycle get some recognition and representation for what it was at the time! definitely one of my all-time favorites and i've beaten it multiple times!
man, mentioning Death Corridor Z unlocked a TON of memories that had not surfaced since they originally happened. it filled like a massive hole just was filled in my memories.
22:22 Radiohead jumpscare
always hoped for an update to it again lmao, see this in 2 years from now
18:45 the suprise hearing stalemate while playing it.
you know it's real when stormfly drops an "every hardest"
My mom managed to verify stereo madness in 71 attampts, pretty sure it’s top 1 now, just gotta get the attention of the demonlist folks
damn gg
another correction, most people with major progress or even completions of VSC that ive talked to deem it harder than abyss of darkness and even silent clubstep
I hope we get a remaster of the "all levels in the alphabet series" video
glad to see WcropoliX mentioned, quality of the level aside it never got the credit it deserved until recent years
30:19 thank god this wasnt the level i was thinking of
Crazy to think that even some players whos hardest levels are medium demons would be one of the best players back in 2013 and early 2014
THIS IS SO HYPE< FINALLY THE LIST IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR
Skipped BP Night (arguably), Diabolic Clubstep, Firework, Slaughterhouse (by Doggie), Sakupen Circles (arguably) and Slaughterhouse Is Dead (by wPopoff) :/ :/ :/
BP Night had a secret way and was waaaaayyy easier than the other top 1s like demon world
Diabolic Clubstep is now said to be overrated and is easier than The Golden
bp night secret way, dc is overrated, firework and slaughterhouse and sakupen circles are easier than vsc, slaughterhouse is dead wasnt/hasnt been an actual level thats been published to the servers
@@Fiszy vsc is tartarus difficulty 🤓
@@HugoNefario no tf its not i have contact with 3 vsc victors and have 74% myself lmao, dont pretend to understand something you know nothing about

Invincible Deadlocked 💀
i saw you making this video like a month ago when you were completing some of the hardest levels in early history and i predicted exactly what your next video title would be lol
been coincidentally watching the 2 Every Top Demon videos over the last few days
wasnt there 4 people trying to verify sonic wave, i thought riot, sunix, auroras and mefuwe were trying to verify it btw idk how to spell mefuwe but its smthn like that
Jokes on you @Stormfly, I never forgot Death Corridor Z. Deserved to be the first rated variant of Death Corridor and is still the best spiritual representation of the original to date.
