“Surv ended up beating the level” *high pitched screaming*

"Bloodbath" "Bloodlust" "Tartarus"... Why can't they give it normal names like "Cheeseburger" "Potato Salad" or "Vanilla Milkshake"?

SWI 98 killed me so hard I’m surprised I finished it somehow.

Ah yes the GD community, back then when extreme demons were rare but now they’re more extreme demons than there are featured auto levels

trying to imagine what gd would be like if these fails never happened is so cool to think about

I honestly didn’t know some of the events that happened in gd history, this is such a great video to look back and even learn a thing or two about what happened in this game throughout its lifetime.

fun fact: mefewe’s hardest was supposedly windy landscape, that he beat probably as a break from sonic wave

watching mefewes 98 fail still hurts everytime i see it, its especially bad because its his fault he died there, he chose to buff the ending and died to his own buff :/ fun to think about what the game or community would be like if he verified it that day tho

3:32 I love this scream clip

i was sitting here for ten minutes trying to come up with a compliment, but i didn't know what to point out everything was top notch ngl.

“91% was a big fail for the community standards” GD Juniper: Died at 99% on Future Funk II (4 times)

It’s kinda sad that completing the game, is the only way to verify it.

0:14 It was not over a year. Sonic Wave had been in the works for about 9 months at that point if you count Cyclic creating it.

really interesting video, something to mention is that Mefewe actually beat harder things than DeCode, he beat Windy Landscape, Supersonic, Astronaut 13 and got 65 on ABP while it was 2nd on the list. great video regardless tho man :)

This is why I never want to be seen as good enough to warrant people wanting me to verify their levels, the pressure would just destroy me.

6:05 this is the cutest gd icon I have ever seen, I cant stop looking at it really cool video btw, I didnt know that these histories before, and is it really crazy to think about what will happened to Geometry Dash of those fails never happened

Really nice to look back on some of these events that I was around to witness, thank you for making this! It’s very well made thoroughly enjoyable!

Another interesting thing about the Bloodlust-Surv-Quasar situation is the fact that the way Yatagarasu went could have been very different, given that Riot gave it over to Surv after quitting the level himself. Also Knobbel had Dark Rainbow Rebirth and The Furious, he definitely wasn't "kinda known"

Being a 1.6 player, I saw all this players grow up in every act and I saw almost every extreme being created and in the road to verification. I really felt so sad for Mullsy, he spent a lot of time in that level. The community and the competitivity in it is beautiful. ALSO: You forgot the Riot vs Sunix in Sonic Wave, that was, wow, so explosive

“At least he would end up beating the level” *VOICE TAKES OFF*

I love how fairly soon after this was released... 98% on Abyss of Darkness was done. The literal objective worst fail in GD history, last or 2nd to last click on what will be by far the hardest level ever verified.

Lation: unfortunately this story has a happy ending Me: **gets an ad**

6K, CONGRATS! I barely know a thing about GD, only having beaten the official levels, yet you and your high-quality(kinda funny dare I say) videos make anything seem so cool! What I'm trying to say is that only 6K is still not enough, you are so underrated.

Thank you for making this video. Mefewe is only ever laughed at. You have to feel bad for him. He dedicated it to his deceased grandfather, and he never got to beat it. But one clarification; Decode was still a massive achievement at the time, and I’m pretty sure it was an insane demon, if not extreme.

I love these gd channels that are like informational so thank you Lation! You are underrated and at least in my opinion should have over 20k subs! Thanks for the awesome video! :>

Before this blows up, I loved this video and hope to see more like this soon, it is pretty good content as well as nostalgic. Thanks

God, you made me so happy putting "the art of war" at the start of the video. You convinced me to sub u.

I'm not really into the game and the community anymore but I got this reccomanded and this is great content. Reminds me of the Sea1997 videos from some years ago. Keep it up man, well done

There's no way he can mess this up that's me on every demon I try to beat I just have to die at 90 something

Very well made, though I think Dils Think's AoD 95 death should've received some coverage.

I found your channel in my recommendations and I easily loved your gd documentaries, keep it up here's a sub.

the corridor part in the Bloodlust extension isn't a weird part tf

fun fact: the creator of bloodbath was the first to beat bloodbath

"A few clicks away from greatness" is honestly a pretty good analogy for your content. Your editing, while not my preference, is serviceable; the overall research done for your videos is pretty good, but the pacing and tone (the latter is most likely just biased) of the videos is where you fall short. On the pacing note, there's a lot of examples of this scattered throughout the entire video, and overall there's many details that could've been given throughout the 3 sections to make all of their stories feel complete (like mentioning that Quasar's callout was probably just because of the heat of the moment and all the pressure he was under with Surv having gotten a 96 fail and all), plus the occasional joke or two that could've been made out of some of the minor events (you could've done something with the fact that Quasar "pulled a Mabby" by dying in the exact same spot as him in ASonic's ball part, etc) but the most noticeable one is the Bloodlust section in general. While a lot of the things you did in that part you pulled off well, the latter half of it feels rushed: like you wanted to cut as many corners as possible to move on to the next part. You could've probably squeezed a few more sentences before moving on to Knob's 97 fail and repeated 98 fail, plus the absence of any mention of Crazen is baffling. There's so much more watchtime that could have been extracted out of the drama between Knob and Crazen: the rapid progress he made on his LDM copy, how Crazen justified him stealing BL saying it was payback from Fusion Z, you get the idea. I know Crazen is a controversial figure, and the things he did are absolutely unforgivable but the role he plays in the BL story is way too large to be forgotten.

I'm really happy that this video is popping off like crazy for you. This video is awesome.

Amazing video. Genuinely. You are so incredibly good at making your story interesting and the title was really captivating, you are so very deserving of the success you’ve found recently :)

ive been waiting for so long. thanks.

And I thought getting 83% in deadlocked was bad enough.

Commenting right now, you're close to 7k subs, man. Keep it up!

It’s been a while since I’ve touched GD, but I’m down for some history lessons about the community’s efforts. Good vid my dude 👍🏽

dude i joined the stream right in the middle of knobbleboy's 96% run and the amount of confused yet extreme emotions I went through in the span of 30 seconds was unmatched

Damn, I feel a part of this for being there and seeing it, literally tearing myself out. Haha GD is a hell of a game.

I’m on one of those late night YT binge sessions rn, and I’ve ended up here on a random vid about Geometry Dash. I don’t even play the game. And I have no regrets. Entertaining vid!

I haven't played geometry dash in so long and randomly got you recommended and your vids are amazing! Subbed!

i feel really sad for mefewe 😥

And the worst fail in history happened yesterday... 98% on Abyss of Darkness, if beaten it will be number one by far. RIP Dils Thik!

Woah you already have 5k, your channel is growing fast! Also, interesting video, can't wait for more videos like this :)

underrated, great editing style. keep it up

Game’s still alive after so many years, incredible

2:15 when you rage so hard you start beat boxing

You have gotta be one of my fav youtubers, ur vids are so fun to watch

What a banger video! Sorry for only discovering your channel now, but I subbed!

the worst fail ever tho was when i accidentally jumped while going down the steps at the end of clutterfunk

I'm not lying if I say that I've just discovered one of my favourites Geometry Dash channels thanks to this video (yours ehheh) Amazing content and research, congrats man :)

Congrats on 4k!!

This video is great! you deserve the 10k I think you would fit into the Geo network. Also I love how your charakter is visualized

oh God, make more content, you have the talent and the potential, pls keep going

Surv will forever be in my heart as the guy who raged so much he ruined yatagarasu and accidentally saved it lol

this is a really good video glad to see you making videos again!

Great video! I was thinking about the opposite case, where levels were verified, but if they were fails instead. Of course, it'd be harder to think about, because they never happened, but it'd be interesting.

the worst fail in the game is undoubtedly 98 on abyss of darkness, it’s arguably a bigger relative jump than either bloodbath or sonic wave were for their time, plus nobody has ever done anything comparable to it since.

1:06 bloodbath might not be blast processing, but it gives the same amount of stars :/

underrated channel. love your channel

I was there when it happened (not literally but like I knew about it during the time), have watched countless recaps of the event, yet this video still entertained me. Good job.

I have t watched the video but I can tell it’s gunna be amazing

Mullsy deserved the rate. He got 97% first but then that B came out of nowhere.

Love these GD history videos. Keep it up fr

10,000th sub. Good work on these vids man.

0:54 when a sniper hits all his shots in a tf2 game

"NOOOOOAOOAOAOAAOIOOOOO" - Mefewe 2017

Dude this video is fire. I can watch this any time

Congrats on 10k

3:32 when my mom doesn't let me buy a 240hz monitor

Mefewe was more insane than Xanii because he jumped from Decode and it took years before anyone else could reach his level

Happy 5k!

i haven't watched a gd fail compilation in ages! this is a terrifying reminder of what happens to those who are in the top

8:13 well he could have tapped too early on the last orb, to be fair...

98% on Abyss of Darkness Now

amazing video, keep up the uploads!

Absolutely amazing video, keep it up dude

“91 was already a big fail for community standards” Me: 99 on electrodynamic and 95 on can’t let go ahh yes Edit: thanks for 50 likes :)

7:10 No practice mode tho

Wow I love these history of GD videos, reminds me of my childhood, thanks for making this

3k Subs and now 5k, congrats!

3:32 EAS Alerts in a nutshell:

Do not let this distract you on the fact Dils Thik got 98 on AoD

Seeing old moments in gd really feels weird, like really weird feeling. It gives me shivers when someone talks about old memorable gd moments

just discovered your channel, keep it up!

I honestly feel really bad for the pro's of this game. You legit spend months doing the same level, over and over just for a small amount of clout. I cant see what you can really get out of this considering the clout level gained is so small.

What if serv got 99% instead of 96% oof

you have just a few videos and already 9K Subscribers thats amazing dude I gave you a sub

I remember watching this like 2 years ago, actually such an epic video

Surv must be playing on a bad moniter, i mean BB was lagging

If bloodbath was a future difficulty, id rate it Tusegra demon.

Bro, you make the best gd documentaries i really want you to blow up man

I think I remember Mulsey asking for Dolphy's version to be verified instead of his. By the way, I wish the community of Geometry Dash paid a LOT more attention to Ocular Miracle from Technical. The level was literally unverified because of how difficult it was. Subbed to the channel and I am looking forward to the next one! :D

the title: "The Fail That Changed Geometry Dash Forever..." me: CAP

lation youre doing very good content and your ideas are creative

That scream on the 98% death really burned into my memory the first time I heard it.
