Chances are, they all exercise similar functions of the brain, including using visual cues to preform actions quickly. All of them would be in some way considered a rhythm game or a reaction time game.
I would like to disagree, Geometry Dash is all about muscular memory imo, only while playing easy levels for the first time you could rely in your reaction time/read the level abilities, other than that if the level doesnt sync you are purely relient in your muscular memory, making it not really comparable to either game, sorry for bad english
@@XcomfritaS2 But I guess that what still separates a top player from an average one is their ability to learn the muscle memory of a level to begin with. This still takes a lot of sight reading ability and understanding of mechanics - especially with fast paced levels.
@@dashry1283 gd is literally based on muscle memory knce you reach extreme demons. You can sight read it but you wont be able to beat it without muscle memory. Unless your a top 100 player
It really is crazy to see someone you never even knew existed put exactly into words how youve felt forever. I think the 3 games have such overlap is because theyre all extremely skill based games which at top level look absolutely inhuman
Exactly. There's no skill cap. You can have three most difficult gameplay possible verified (e.g. GD's Slaughterhouse), and then have something even harder come out later (Acheron).
I didn't look at the video length, jumped into it thinking it would be like a video essay that would dig in deep and explain how the three games connect and why it has so many mutual players, then, it hit me with the "Alright have fun er- good day bye" and I was left perplexed in my gaming chair, perhaps I should be the one looking for the answers for once, how deep
I play both gd and tetrio, and I had no idea this was a thing. Osu and gd correlating makes sense, as they are both incredibly difficult games with music as the focal point, but I’d have no clue as to why tetrio might relate
I've had stints with all three games over the last few years, and after giving it some thought I think now understand why. For me it boils down to how impressive these games are to watch. We've all had that moment, watching a video of a top player for the first time, wondering if what you're seeing is even humanly possible. Somehow that feeling triggers a human reaction in me, making me want to be the person to rise above and achieve the impossible. I can't think of many games outside of these few that can evoke such a feeling so easily, which is why I think certain people tend to pool around them. They all share this visual simplicity that makes it immediately obvious when something is difficult, even for a first time viewer. First person shooters and RTS games require context of what's happening before their difficulty can be appreciated properly, whereas something like Osu or Etterna requires almost no prior knowledge for a viewer to find its gameplay impressive. And of course, as a product of their simplicity, improvement is also very easy to track visually in these games. I think this explains the shocking number of people who have managed to reach a notable level of skill in two or more of these games. It's not hard to stay motivated if you're constantly seeing your progress manifest itself. My observations are totally based on personal experience, but I feel like most people would agree with the notion 'impressive gameplay = attractive game'

i dont mean to drop my whole life story but i love GD since 1.9 and have some extremes, and i occasionally play mania and am interested in getting decent at standard someday. although ive never played tetrio specifically, ive played a lot of puyo puyo tetris 1 and 2 and got good enough to have a chance at beating just a few of the people online which are always japanese people that are gods at the game. im very sure theres a connection, all i know are gd players but i cant think of any gd players that are into tetris. i saw someone mention that npesta plays mania but also when spaceuk was more active and the best player in the game he wanted to quit to play osu instead
1- all three games are in the category of rythm, so they would be intresteded in other rythm games. 2- this could be applied with stuff like gd and IWBTG to.
@@MoistyJc yeah, because thex aren't. Tetrio is too random and has no sync gameplay so it's obviously not a rhythm game and geometry dash is not a rhythm game because it's more precision based than rhythm complexity
I also started with GD, but then I got into Quaver (a mania type game). I then went through a Tetris phase. I feel like speedcubing is common amongst people who play all three of these games as well. Very interesting that we all have this in common. Pretty sure it’s because they all exercise reaction time and “finger-eye coordination”
There's a lot more games that these type of players are likely to overlap in, but I'd say the biggest similarity in games like this is having a clear and concrete skill based progression. There's some overlap with competitive games in general but a lot of people in these circles also don't like pvp type competition. These games are also all very accessible to any gaming setup and budget (2 are free and geometry dash is 3$) so a lot of people were probably hooked on these kind of games growing up and never really left
they all need reaction time, they all are intense and make you nervous, you wanna get better at all of them, they all have music (sorta) they're all competitive (sorta)
@@cubix015 I half agree half disagree. You're right that geometry dash requires a lot of muscle memory, and it's kinda similar to playing an instrument in that regard. You press predetermined inputs over a predetermined period of time, and they're especially similar because they both require (or well strive for) perfection However, have you ever tried playing a gd level blind? Why doesn't that work? It's because unlike instruments, gd gameplay is for the majority based on visual cues, as the music does not sync for most levels. This especially holds true when you consider that in a lot of cases you won't be lined up the same way requiring you to adjust your input on the fly, which is called reactionary gameplay. So yea imo it's kind of a mix of both
@@meino6465 huge gd fan here and definitely this, for some cases being quick to react can definitely help, but for others its not going to help you if you made a mistake
I think its due to electronic music I do play geometry dash but im rather more of a decorator (make levels and designs) instead of playing. Yet I also play 7k
weird how it doesn't happen with everyone - i play geometry dash a lot but just cannot get into osu, along with some of my friends - yet with others it clicks naturally?
Hi, geometry dash player here. I would like to add another game that kinda correlates with GD, Mario Kart. I’ve been playing GD for about 5 years now and about a year ago (January 2022), I started playing MK8DX competitively along with other MK games such as; MK7, Wii, etc. But this is also the case for Technical, a very well known GD player, but also in the MK8DX community for his Rainbow Road TTWR. Lastly, this is also the case a guy named, SuperFX, but this time he went from MK to GD, then back to MK after a short period of playing GD. But, the crazy thing about SuperFX is that he almost jumped stereo madness (first level in the game/easiest) to a Top 150 extreme demon level (artificial ascent)! He only got 92 but still it was a great achievement/jump back then, and still today. He’s also got a few WR’s and couple years ago in MK8 (Wii U ver.) and in March a WR in MK8DX for a short time. This is just my opinion, but just fyi, there are more players like this whom play GD and MK competitively so just know that it isn’t just me, technical, and SuperFX 👍.
You should try Trackmania! It's a way more skill based game than mario kart and even has skillsets like in geometry dash. Btw there are multiple versions of trackmania with trackmania nations forever, a. k. a. the pc version of trackmania, having the biggest community
I have played geometry dash for more than 1200 hours and i have started OSU few weeks ago, im agree with you and i think im gonna look what tetrio is lol
They're all audiovisual skill games with no skill cap. There's techniques to each game, sizeable communities, and they're all based on very simple concepts.
probably one of the biggest reasons is they all involve improving by repeating the same tasks. osu is where you improve skills such as aim, speed, stamina, reading, etc. GD (not too sure about this one because i don’t play but) it involves improving just knowing what each object does, tapping faster, tapping on time, and memorization. Tetris is learning things like t-spin setups, openers, improving speed, and learning kicks.
after playing for 8 years in gd and 3 years in osu i think I've found out why, i just feel so badass when i beat something hard, but it pretty much can me just me
geometry dash, osu mania, tetrio, all give the same feelings of progress and satisfaction of completion if you do something really hard. Geometry dash here is more punishment based, osu mania is more feedback based and tetrio is more milestone based
Even speedrunning most games are connected. Redball, happy wheels and fancy pants all use muscle memory and click patterns. Although they use more keys
i play gd, super obvious but the top 10 hardest demons are unfathomably hard. also just noticed you mentioned sunix, he quit gd officially recently and it really hurt to see him go, he was a big inspiration for me and i’ll miss him so much…
Great question, I play a lot of GD for a long time, and about 3 years ago I also started playing osu. For me I thought the games were similar in the sense that they both are brutally difficult and have a near infinite skill ceiling. I now see a lot of differences between the two games, but I see why they connect in my head
Because they're not ridiculously complex while still being skill focused games. I love games where I can see a clear improvement in my skill from the last time I played.
are you kidding me i started playing geometry dash and then downloaded osu!mania and then played tetrio fun fact: jkzu also plays tetrio, S rank but he doesnt play that much
i used to play gd for 4 years mostly playing easy levels and get in a lot of leaderboards of recent star-rated levels, not a fan of demons and those things, and when i was starting to get bored of gd, i started playing mania, same thing, mostly playing easy ranked maps to get a good ratio and getting good places on the map rankings
I only got to GD, but lately i've been intrested in Osu, if its not for Device limitation i would've been played it. but yeah, idk why but Osu has been intrested me for a while now and so does to my friend who played Osu and GD. i find it quite weird how GD and Osu mainly connected in a way that quite weird, and mostly with my friends and now im also gonna be in that circles (again if not only to Device limitation)
I play all 3 of these games so I find this very interesting. I main GD but also used to be okay at osu! standard. I just got back into osu! mania and I have been playing tetrio a while
I only knew about geometry dash and started playing it a year and a half ago, during my 8 months massive break from GD I learned about osu, started playing it but gave up a week after. I didn't know the existence of tetrio until I saw this video.
GD and osu makes sense, since both require high reflexes, precision, and music related (geometry dash isn't exactly a RHYTHM game, but its a RHYTHM-BASED PLATFORMER game) also, not just osu and GD, but a lot of rhythm games will end up seeing similar players, since they're all very similar *types* of game, where your goal is to perfect short maps/songs/levels, often taking dozens or hundreds of hours for singular achievements.
as someone who is top 4k on osu standard, has beaten an extreme demon, and hovers around rank a ish on tetrio, i never really noticed how i play all three of these games and how there is any correlation
geometry dash + osu has a lot together - they have 2 or 3 player dominating - shitty low effort spam maps creator - people grinding ingame points to the top - people pushing the boundaries - bad players giving very bad takes at the hardest maps - camellia - a top player/mapper who died - semi rithim game etc...
As a GD player, I mainly play GD, then I play Osu and ADOFAI as my main rhythm games, then I used to play JSaB and Piano tiles on my phone when I was little, idk man, I've always loved rhythm games since I was a kid and I still do. One game i want to play is Guitar Hero but is hard to play on kbm, thats why i don't play it that much, i'd rather get a guitar controller.
I've gotten into all three of the games once (tetrio the least), osu and tetrio connect because you're meant to get into the flow state and not even think of what you're playing. I dont know about gd tho, maybe the games are connected because they're semi multiplayer games and what I mean by that is that the game is mainly played online and the community interacts a lot but you don't play in lobbies as much as you do singleplayer. But the main reason I think they're connected is because they all have what I call "Mental RNG" so you know how in games like Minecraft (if you speedrun) there's literal RNG as in RNG that you cannot change at all without cheating, for example seeds and piglin drops, but Mental RNG is a thing where there's no literal RNG but you still have to get lucky to get a pb, get a new hardest, or get a top play, I'm not really sure about how much tetrio has this mental RNG cause I haven't played it that much but I assume that there's atleast a little bit. For example everyone that has played GD for a while knows that if you have practiced a level a lot to the point where everything is consistent for you it's just that mental RNG holding you back from beating it fully. If someone disagrees with something in this then leave a reply and if you didn't disagree with anything then like the comment cause I spent like 10 minutes writing this🗿 very cul video btw
all of them uses a whole lot of muscle memory. A lot of people that play these games also play other rhythm games and do cubing which both require muscle memory.
I used to play Osu, still have it downloaded, and I play Geometry Dash all the time, never played the third game though. while I can't say anything about Tetrio, I guess one thing that connects GD and Osu is that both games involve click based gameplay, so perhaps that has something to do with it (thought I'm only talking about mania, I think that's the one, can't remember)
i assumed classic would make more sense, since the fall with constant speed and in modern you often press for them to fall (and also singleplayer instead of multiplayer). but i guess it's more boring to play so people don't play it
Played both gd and osu! (standard), after playing osu for a while i REALLY REALLY Love the music and improving my music taste from there, i wish that GD has more level with osu! song (Especially with The Deceit, HONESTY, etc)
Sunix doesn't play gd as often anymore because of drama with him beating bloodlust (the top 1 demon at the time) with fps bypass because it wasn't allowed at the time.
I meeean I've played all three at least at some point in my life. osu on and off between 2014 and 2019 (was never good at it though lol) gd started in 2014 and still playing it (just beat my third extreme which is... cool) got into nes tetris in 2018 (660k pal and 868k ntsc... more into organizing events than competing nowadays) and occationally play tetrio for fun on the side so... I guess there is something to this

@@flooosha2376 yes i know, i hate kami no kotoba, tbh... But i fuckin love icdd istg i listened to their 2011 album 4 times already lmao
yeah its so weird, i mainly play gd, i've dipped my feet a little bit into osu because of friends, and i play tetrio every so often as well.
Maybe their AI is a little to similar
Me like music, me play music games
me happy
Tetrio player here recently getting really into GD
wait this actually makes sense
i feel like they all have the same skill set, where its the same thing over and over but still somehow get's more difficult
One reason I would say is they are all indie games and all fun but still challenging.
I think they all relate because they all use some songs in common and the communities are a bit related together if you know what I mean...
As a GD player, I mainly play GD, then I play Osu and ADOFAI as my main rhythm games, then I used to play JSaB and Piano tiles on my phone when I was little, idk man, I've always loved rhythm games since I was a kid and I still do. One game i want to play is Guitar Hero but is hard to play on kbm, thats why i don't play it that much, i'd rather get a guitar controller.
I've gotten into all three of the games once (tetrio the least), osu and tetrio connect because you're meant to get into the flow state and not even think of what you're playing.
I dont know about gd tho,
maybe the games are connected because they're semi multiplayer games and what I mean by that is that the game is mainly played online and the community interacts a
lot but you don't play in lobbies as much as you do singleplayer.
But the main reason I think they're connected is because they all have what I call "Mental RNG" so you know how in games like Minecraft (if you speedrun) there's literal RNG as in RNG that you cannot change at all without cheating, for example seeds and piglin drops, but Mental RNG is a thing where there's no literal RNG but you still have to get lucky to get a pb, get a new hardest, or get a top play, I'm not really sure about how much tetrio has this mental RNG cause I haven't played it that much but I assume that there's atleast a little bit. For example everyone that has played GD for a while knows that if you have practiced a level a lot to the point where everything is consistent for you it's just that mental RNG holding you back from beating it fully.
If someone disagrees with something in this then leave a reply and if you didn't disagree with anything then like the comment cause I spent like 10 minutes writing this🗿
very cul video btw
agreed
also FORGOTTEN REFERENCE IN THE BG PICTURES,???????
reaction time is for all 3
all games prob just require massive dedication and reaction speed
this is unironically true
all of them uses a whole lot of muscle memory. A lot of people that play these games also play other rhythm games and do cubing which both require muscle memory.
I play gd and occasionally mania. however, I cannot download the game so I have to play on a Roblox exact remake
GD + ADOFAI + OSU + BEAT SABER = steam
I used to play Osu, still have it downloaded, and I play Geometry Dash all the time, never played the third game though.
while I can't say anything about Tetrio, I guess one thing that connects GD and Osu is that both games involve click based gameplay, so perhaps that has something to do with it (thought I'm only talking about mania, I think that's the one, can't remember)
forgetting trackmania, that also somehow mixis in sometimes
i assumed classic would make more sense, since the fall with constant speed and in modern you often press for them to fall (and also singleplayer instead of multiplayer). but i guess it's more boring to play so people don't play it
would it be wrong to throw celeste in there too? i feel like there's plenty of crossover with it and these three
As someone who plays gd and not the other 2 games, I do not know
You forgot to mention how sunix was unmatched in geonetry dash for multiple years being one of the goats of geometry dash
Do some research on npesta, he’s a pro in gd and osu mania and was in a pewdiepie video
i lika da flashy color make my silly head make yummy chemicals
me who plays all of them consistently:
I think ADOFAI also falls under this umbrella
I think the link between OSU and GD is stronger because they've been connected in some form since 2015
Played both gd and osu! (standard), after playing osu for a while i REALLY REALLY Love the music and improving my music taste from there, i wish that GD has more level with osu! song (Especially with The Deceit, HONESTY, etc)
We have a technique called NONG song replace so it's already possible
Sunix doesn't play gd as often anymore because of drama with him beating bloodlust (the top 1 demon at the time) with fps bypass because it wasn't allowed at the time.
Mrekk also played GD, it's in is older videos. I also have played all 3
Seems like most of them are Osu and Tetrio and occasionally GD is added in
idk man lets find out
Probally rythm game in nature and sometimes OSU 'song' introduced by someone to Geometry Dash so GD players mostly know OSU
i play tetrio and gd, just beat bloodbath btw
2 words: music, click
I've played only gd but I'd have to say I wouldn't really be into any other rythm games
Same, GD just feels unique
I meeean I've played all three at least at some point in my life.
osu on and off between 2014 and 2019 (was never good at it though lol)
gd started in 2014 and still playing it (just beat my third extreme which is... cool)
got into nes tetris in 2018 (660k pal and 868k ntsc... more into organizing events than competing nowadays) and occationally play tetrio for fun on the side
so... I guess there is something to this
They do I guess, I play all.
And the fact that aetrna used to play a roblox obstacle course game lol
Omg I used to play so many difficulty charts because I just absolutely like difficulty. Now I am beating insane demons in geometry dash
It’s because they all are rhythm games.
DUDE SUNIX OH MY GOSH
Nah I remember SpaceUK tried to give osu a shot at one point but gave up and came back to geometry dash
yea, i started out with geometry dash, moved to osu and played quite a lot of tetrio
i started with gd, then downloaded osu mania, then became a beginner at tetrio but i only play osu mania now
music, gameplay that consists of clkcng pretty fast and music, and they are hard, plus I feel like if you play one, then you're good at the other
pretty sure ive seen mrekk tweet some stuff about gd aswell
also if you dont know mrekk also play gd and his hardest is windy landscape
