Just a correction: At 2:22, this comment was about why I started making hard songs in the first place. After Jordan and Through the Fire and Flames, all that was left was custom songs and after I exhausted the hard ones in there, there was nothing left that was fun for me in Guitar Hero anymore. This is also why "Soulless" has its name. The original was just a difficult and soulless arrangement of notes.

My favorite thing about Obsidian is how people argued that it would never be FC'd all the way up to the very day it was FC'd.

9 more FCs to make a nether portal all jokes aside seeing this FC when it first came was genuinely insane. i truly am proud of the community of FCing a song that people genuinely thought was impossible for the longest time

holy crap, darkly's first mtb fc was in feb of 2019? life's going by too quick man, that felt like months ago lmfao

Hey I remember this song.

I should mention that a lot of my runs of Obsidian definitely weren't practiced for ages on end, I really only hopped on for a solid 2-3 hours each time i grinded something relating to it and got everything very quickly

21:12 this aged well

I love these score progressions for GH/CH, please do more!

13:31 imagine working hard grinding a song every day, making history with it, and have it be from your runs where you arent wearing pants in the facecam

I guess this poses an interesting question: "Is Darkly the most ambitious and skilled combined GH player, or is merely the pioneer for pushing what is thought possible to lead the rest of the community to push themselves even further beyond?" Either way, Darkly has done the most for redefining GH/CH in my eyes and so much of what has kept me entertained and amazed started with Darkly. Fantastic video Etienne!

I remember people being impressed when i hit message to blue 3x in a row slower which goes show how hard the section was. Unfortunately for me tobi beat me in the race for first ever slow fc (i had a -1 a few days before he fced it.) And he made sure to rub it in my face lol.

18:19 A better way to tell if someone's on an FC is the presence of the gold ring around the score multiplier. Far easier than deducing from scores or note counts. Good stuff otherwise.

Etienne: Enter DarklyGH Me: Oh boy, this should be interesting

Watching these score histories after the Schmooey scandal is so awkward lol. He is in almost every one of them.

if anyone was curious like i was, schmooeys 125% tech fc of MTB was faked.

another gem mang. Awesome to see this song get the attention it deserves edit: A player known as Frank on his 2nd channel "A Roomba on Psychedelics" has MTB 125 and the means of getting it at 150

everytime I hear about randy's obsidian video, I just remember swagbucks

Score Progression: Maid of Fire wHeN

I think the worst thing about the community is just the "like that's ever gonna happen, impossible" people. Like how many times can you be wrong before you stop doubting the evolution of players skill

Another great video man! I hope this is something you continue to enjoy to do for a long time :)

If Darkly ISNT the GOAT, then he will still go down as one of the greatest to ever play the game...simply based off his ability to literally push/lead the entire gh/ch community to entirely new heights. It’s like his specialty is literally single-handedly making everyone take a better look at what is considered to be within the realms of possibility...like people say “this section is not possible or viable in a run” ...darkly comes along and pushes himself until he is able to do what was considered impossible, which in turn puts pressure/hope on other players to push themselves to do the same...next thing you know, that “impossible section” is fc’d by multiple members of the community and the skills of the community as a whole has been “levelled up” per se.... IMHO Darkly is like the Atlas of the community...he literally takes the entire community on his shoulders and forged ahead paving the way for us all LMAO

Absolutely amazing video. I was never around in this community when obsidian was released and this video made it super easy to get into the parts I wasn't there for and overall nothing dragged on. Excellent video overall, and yeah, Darkly is just too good at CH. Amazing work Etienne.

I love these score progression videos, keep them up!

WHAAAAT just a few days ago I was watching your other GH score progression videos from over a year ago and subscribed, and now you happen to upload a new one???? I LOVE YOU

nitpicking out of the way, I absolutely love how these videos are always presented in a way that makes you want to see the original videos that the accomplishments came from. Something about the presentation just makes me want to follow these people more, and that's something that's hard to finagle in videos like this.

amazing video as always. good job man

I watched darkly's obsidian fc days before this and I thought to myself "I'd really like to see the history behind this song, wonder if Etienne will make a video on it" and come to find in my notifications Score Progression of Obsidian. You literally made my day

I am so happy this video came out!

i was so happy that my man Chandler finally got mentioned.

I love these score progression videos on songs in games that I don’t play but want to

Great video as always

I love Darkly. His dedication is amazing. His ability to come back and replay the same chart after incredibly painful chokes (or reverse chokes) is so awesome. :)

Money well spent I must say

I knew it was going to be exilelord. I’m happy that you did this.

I totally remember back in 2014 when I first found out about the community I first saw Message to Blue on TobeGH3s montage (which is an all-time classic). Also one of the first GH players I have watched at that time. In other words on this particular section on that montage, I have always thought to myself "I wondered if anyone got it on Full Speed?" or "Will anyone even grind the full song ever?" Until 5 years later, I remember I was in school in my culinary class that day and I get notified that Darkly uploaded a video of him FCing Message to Blue on full speed and I watched it and I was just in disbelief that it was fucking over that very day. What an insane madman and still such an iconic section FC on this very day.

Pretty much expecting a Supernovae and Soulless 6 FC now. Literally nothing is impossible at this point.

I love that the origin of this chart was literally a pissed off charter

God I love this channel

YAAAAAAS! Thank you 🙏🏼

This is giving strong summoning salt vibes, great video

here right after acai fcd it :D

Yuhhhhhh another Score Progression!!

Hard to believe it's already been over HALF A YEAR since the Obsidian FC! :O

Oh dear god, I remember chandler/osupression, he was obsessed with me for like, at least 3 months, commenting on videos I made randomly, and stating he had made a song in his head using my name at the time, Princess Syko

So... what's left of Exilelord's discography now? The ones I can think of now is: -Hellidox -Soulless 6 -The co-op songs that he want you to play with one guitar in each hand -All of his Crash Test songs Let me know if there's any I missed

great vid as usual. Also lmao my "Nut" twitter reaction in this

I like how you casually stated that someone tech FC’d it at %125 at the end lol That blew me away

GH3 Wii guitars don't need to be modified to rake the one-fingered way consistently, which is part of why they're considered one of the best starter guitars now (alongside the facts that they're ludicrously common cause everyone had a wii + the raphnet adapters just make them super consistent)

You should make vids like this about certain RB/RB2 Drum charts. I have many fond memories of people like IBitePrettyHard, kknyrass, JLC, Blindz0r, mrallen95, and many others from back then, and it seems like the whole community has been largely forgotten about. Haven't really seen any videos documenting that scene. some notable first FCs would be Blindz0r's Blinded by Fear FC(s), mrallen95's Visions FC, IBitePrettyHard's many first FCs which kind of opened the door for more people to mod their drums and go for accuracy. Anyway, you probably have other shit going on but I thought it would make a really good video. Thanks for all this dope rhythm game content, your channel is truly a godsend.

This video is gonna be great Edit: yeah it was. Also, where is “a roombah on psychedelics” in this video? He got MTB 125

i know absolutley nothing about guitar hero but im so intrigued

I fuckinf freaked when I saw darkly fc this

15:40 I don't even need audio to know that acai is saying "IM A FUCKING BEAST" lmao

Love this

As somebody who has never played this game this looks like the first time I saw cookizies freedom dive run back when I was new to osu

"I'm not wrong; it's not FCable, it will never be fced"

This is still my favorite FC to date; even if there might be a better one ATM for CH. Just the background on this song, the meme of it and for a GH/CH custom - it doesn't sound too bad. I also like that it's a stupidly hard 3 minute song instead of a stupidly hard 20 minute song

these exile charts have to be updated cause there was alot that happened to exilelord songs in these 2 years

Watching Acai FC this was so satisfying

And now CarnyJared

still can't believe darkly only has nearly 10k subs

I swear Darkly has to be on crack. His FC's are insane to the point I think he has a bot on. Never the less, Great job, both to you as well as Darkly.

Plot twist: Obsidian is almost the strongest block in minecraft.

9:03 Score Hero! ;D

Score Progression. Jordan

HIT. MOAR. NOTES.

Can't wait for Monochrome. We just need someone with 2 working guitars, and patience.

Well I have FC’d this on hard lol, seriously though, great video man

You should make a player analysis on Shmooey/Legokeegan411 he's gotten so many crazy fcs, tech fcs, and has become an incredible player

13:34 thats an electric popoff if ive ever seen one

if Obsidian was a "fuck you" to the community, could the FC be considered an apology?

The last note of Message to blue is a !

When will you release the Slow Ride on easy difficulty score progression??

there is not a single realistic chord section darkly cannot hit. he's disgusting. great video!

The Schmooey part didn't age well 💀

ExileLord played TF2? Okay, that's a true gamer right there,

Score Progression: DJ Hero Groundhog??? (The Actual Game)

This is not the score progression video without the hissing sound between the transitions

Damn never would have thought that you would need 5 fingers to hit a section filled with five note chords...

someone fcd message to blue on keyboard lol

This is cool and all but have you played Slow Ride on easy?

What is that song you used in the chapter transitions

I like how ExileLord initially left the Guitar Hero comunity by saying fuck you, here's a chart so hard, most won't even pass it. Which can go for most of those hard charts of his, which are like all of them except the one from that one video H...E...L...P...M...E... which is easy as hell for an ExileLord chart, but that was'int the point of that chart.

Good coverage! Now the real question is, can Megalodon be FC'd?

"This is undercharted" its called "this is not undercharted"

11:54 drew has a problem

PhantomGHero had a -2 or -1 on full speed sometime after Tobi’s montage in the 2013’ish time but he deleted all his videos awhile ago

Was in the call with Darkly when he originally pulled off that -2 run, and proceeded to get another -2 10minutes later; all after saying "let me practice 4finger mtb rq" That was literally the point in my CH career where I stopped calling anything in this game impossible lmfao. He shut me up good with that one.

Aaaaand Schmooey got 2nd ever FC! (Edit) sad........

Ettenei

Oh man, I haven't seen this video yet, and yet i'm suuuuper excited to watch this! Also question, is there a way we can commission a score progression video through Patreon? I would totally be down for that for Crisis City vGH.

Darklys next FC will be the april fools chart of soulless 6 just watch

1:45 the sus

Score Progression: Epsilon from Osu!mania

MTB is damn near the biggest middle finger that I can think of from anybody to anything. Considering exile called the chart a middle finger himself, MTB did it perfectly. Also Darkly is fucking insane.

YOOOOOOO

Crisis city score progression next?

Soooooo this means soulless 6 fc when?

Score progression gh2 setlist when?

And now MTB's been hit on 140 and soon to be 150
