I want to thank @knobbelboy for coming on and being such a crucial part to this video. You likely already are, but subscribe to him if you’re not! As for me, I’m completely floored that I even have the opportunity to do things like this. When I started doing this, I DREAMED of being able to make a video alongside one of my heroes from the community. The fact that it’s reality is jarring for me. All of this is completely thanks to everyone who has supported me over the years. Without you, none of this would be possible ❤
@@your_fathersyes but also to be fair both of them used bypass to 240 while knobbelboy used native 144hz Skullo used native 144hz on bloodlust until he got 98 and then he bypassed to beat it for some reason tho lol
Something that’s often underrated is the fact that Knobbelboy was the first player to spend more than 100k attempts on a single level. Nowadays, it’s a relatively common occurrence on top levels, but back then that attempt count was truly unheard of. I think Knobbelboy deserves a lot of credit for inspiring others to push themselves past their limits in this game
There's only like 1 or maybe 3 recent(ish) high attempt count completions that people remember. Most memorable is probably silent clubstep by vision with 821,027 attempts
@@tornado8577ah I see, but isn't it quite a same case for mefewe aswell? cuz his hardest is decode when he first started playing the level but by the time he made significant progress he had already beaten windy landscape and supersonic, for this one I'm pretty sure his hardest is bloodbath when he first started playing bloodlust idrk tbh
the fact crazen tried to steal 2 verifications, (this and kenos) is one of the most disrespectful things I've seen this game its also, pretty funny that he hacked most of his achievements as well.
so cool to hear from him about this all these years later! i remember where i was when i watched the 98% fail live, what a crazy time in the game's history. awesome video, great work on it!
WDYM HE WASN'T LISTENING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT. I WAS BEING LIED TO THE WHOLE TIME? SO THE ONE IN THE VIDEO IS A MONTAGE!!! Still the greatest and most iconic player of all time
ive been saying for years that knobbelboys career is absolutely insane to an unreplicable level. at one time he verified the hardest and most anticipated extreme in the game and also created the best and most anticipated level in the game. no one will ever do that again
This video made me remember how absolutely insane Knobbelboy was. I remember waiting for Bloodlust to be verified, and being completely shocked 1 morning to see it finally over, I remember being excited for God Eater, and how it was then deleted and remade. There really aren't that many top players who are also good at building, it's a thing long forgotten, and it's awesome to reminisce of one of community's best times.
You know that Knobbel is so freaking motivative when after 1.5 year since it had finished building, Bloodlust was still top 1 (I'm not sure but there wasn't any lvl that was still top 1 after that long time before, except Bloodbath)
What I especially admire Knobbelboy for is how after getting 98 he kept making buffs, some of which were made out of rage, and never removed them in the process. The version he verified is notably harder than the one he got 98 on. I always have special respect for verifiers who go out of their way to make their level harder than before and verify that version instead of the original. But when it happens when the level is about to get verified... I think Bloodlust is the only example of this specific case. Most levels get nerfed near the verification, but not Bloodlust.
I love this video. Absolutely well made. Bloodlust is my favorite top 1 in the game's history and Knobbel is a chad for verifying this. Also hopefully you can reach 100k subs soon Lation ur awesome ❤
Bloodlust will be my final extreme, after i beat it im quitting. Ever since i started in 2016 all i have dreamed of is being one of the victors to this hell of a level
Dude this video was awesome to watch. I didn't know most of the stuff you said, and even the Crazen situation I had no idea had happened (I kinda was involved in the community at the time, but not a lot). I learned a lot today! Hope the video blows up in views soon
hearing knob's voice in 2024 is weird. i remember taking the twitch clip of his 98% fail lmao EDIT: 6:05 MY HEART JUST STOPPED OMG YOU USED GRAN TURISMO 4 MUSIC I FUCKING LOVE YOUUUUUUU MY CHILDHOOD IS ACHING EDIT 2: 7:55 OMG PLEASE
I told you to deliver on twitter and holy crap, this is an absolutely amazing video! I remember Knobbles journey from the start and understood all of the struggles he had while many were just criticizing him for taking too long. I'm glad we finally get to see how he truly felt while getting bashed by the community and of course demolishing this amazing level!
Knob is still my fav player in the history of this game. Not only is he GOATED at playing but he also has arguably the best building skills this community will ever see.
I still can't believe that BL took 1.5 years to verify with a lot of drama behind the scene,even though i started playing back in 2019 and 2.2 has now been released after 6 years of no updates,it truly deserves as part of Geometry Dash history through many years to come
I couldn’t imagine what it would be like to be in Knobbelboy's position when verifying the level, having the entire community expecting you to beat the hardest level. I have a lot of respect for Knobbelboy for pushing through it. Really good video!
What a good video! I love it! I would love seeing you do some alternate reality documentary on Mefewe for a future video. Still, amazing video, i loved it
btw: Sonic Wave 96% of riot feels more painful for the community than the 98 of mefewe. Almost noone knew mefewe and I always it was a "hacked attempt" or something
Bloodlust is my favorite level in this entire game. It isnt just because of the music. It isnt just because of the gameplay. It isnt just because of the deco. Its because of its history. That ending is the most intense and epic section in GD in my opinion.
ngl i cried. as someone who died at the last jump in bloodbath, then a whole month later beat the level in 68k total attempts, I really cant imagine how he felt dealing with a SUPERBUFFED version of the level... I do remember that the time gap between my 98% and 100% was a horrible experience of HOURS of grinding going to almost no progress. with that EXTREME amount of pressure and stress that he got from the community, and crazen being crazen I cant even begin to imagine how hard it must have been. This man deserves the break he's taking from GD. that's all I can say.
As a bloodlust victor. It’s such a brutal level. The nerves I felt at tmn are actually unexplainable so I can’t imagine what knobbleboy must have felt.
i don’t think there’s a single GD journey i remember more distinctly than the bloodlust journey. i watched every stream knobbelboy did on the level from start to finish pretty much every time for months. i remember getting on the bus as soon as school ended one day and going right into knobbelboys stream to see he had 97%, i continued watching and right in the middle of a good attempt i lost service for about 5-10 mins, only to finally get it back and see him with his game paused with 98%. (so i missed both those runs 😢). but i continued watching all his streams and remember watching him get 97% again many months later. any time i would see him get far i would almost feel like i was the one playing the level, i would get so nervous. then one day out of the blue i woke up for school, checked my phone to see a notification from knobbelboy saying bloodlust verified. i had to check the date to make sure it wasn’t april fools day or something. even when i saw it wasn’t i still didn’t really believe it. then after seeing it was legit, i was astounded. i couldn’t even imagine how knobbelboy was feeling at that moment and i still can’t really. i respect tf out of him for the grind he put into verifying bloodlust. it is why he will always be one of, if not my favorite gd content creators ever.
So, you're telling me, that if it wasn't for that tunnel part, bloodlust could have been forgotten or gotten a whole different story?? geez well props to that one creator then :00
even though i was in the community while this was happening i really forgot how pushy the everyone was about knobbelboy taking a long time to verify this. why did we feel so entitled to a level 99% of us were unable to progress on? i find that really weird
I think Knobbelboy is the most talented player the game has ever seen, and will forever be. Verifying a Top 1 is the BIGGEST accomplishment in GD and only a small handful of people have done that, but he even took it further by creating one of the BEST level for its time. Its like Bli being the verifier of Tidal Wave or Zoink creating Change Of Scene. The only player that comes close to him is Krmal imo.

no way bruh 💀
knobbelboy beat it
Knobbelboy could probably make an absurd amount of money by selling the Bloodlust desk.
lol
This games fans are autistic teenagers who’s gonna have the money for it
@@iazerrrrrrrrrr lmao
He could probably make even more off the gaming chair he used😭🙏
Knobbleboy is seriously a legend in history for verifying bloodlust. Out of his time.
"Out of his time" is a stretch since skullo and sunix beat the level 2 weeks after it came out
@@your_fathers They were both out of their time but it is still a bit of a stretch
@@ZKTHE1STTback then if i wasnt wrong hotball11 is the best player right?

@@EnderSlayer3035 npesta has said that crazen tried to steal kenos while he was actively playing it
I dont get how he ever had a fanbase, he always acted like a b*tch
5:16 YEEEEES. I don't think I've seen anyone ever say this but I consider that part to be one of the coolest looking parts of any level to this day.
a lot of people consider this to be the best part of the level, including me. It is pretty fun and not too difficult as well
I completely agree, I'm actually gonna make this part to the best of my ability in WarpSpeed.
Bro casually verified a new top 1 because he liked the tunnel part, what a gigachad.
Geez I can’t believe we’re approaching six years since bloodlust was verified. I feel so old…

22:24 "you know.. the reaction came from me, honestly ANNIHILATING the desk" got me
I like how you assembled the part where knob beat BL with the 79 and 97 fails thats pretty creative
You mean 97 or 76?
Its actually crazy that one of the greatest players of all time came from a simple content creator video about the game
Yoooo Xcreatorgoal with 0 comments on a comment? Madness 😅
xD
"content creator" sir
that's PEWDIEPIE
XcreatorGoal is an Andrew T@te supporter
Awesome video! Took me a bit to watch but it's awesome to see what Knobbelboy went through while verifying Bloodlust :)
WDYM HE WASN'T LISTENING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT. I WAS BEING LIED TO THE WHOLE TIME? SO THE ONE IN THE VIDEO IS A MONTAGE!!!
Still the greatest and most iconic player of all time
Your entire channel is underrated you need a million subs.
Another absolute banger, love hearing all this insight coming from his own mouth. 10/10 as always.
it’s an even better banger than the hands that banged the desk 🔥
ive been saying for years that knobbelboys career is absolutely insane to an unreplicable level. at one time he verified the hardest and most anticipated extreme in the game and also created the best and most anticipated level in the game. no one will ever do that again
Now we need "Silent Clubstep: From Vision's perspective"
i apologize for Crazen's behavior, especially bc I enabled a lot of it as a friend at the time. I regret ever associating with him
crazen was a piece of work
This will forever be the most Legendary moment in the Geometry Dash Community, really a awesome Story!
Bloodlust was also very history taking for me watching knobellboy beat it as well.
This video made me remember how absolutely insane Knobbelboy was. I remember waiting for Bloodlust to be verified, and being completely shocked 1 morning to see it finally over, I remember being excited for God Eater, and how it was then deleted and remade.

Pretty sure the only thing that dethroned it’s time was Tartarus
@@Abyssbreaker01Tartarus could've been dethroned earlier tho since SWI is now considered harder than Tartarus despite being placed #2 att
Bro this vid is fire and so are your other videos and streams. PS: I'm sorry I said go in your chat when you were verifying red world classic.
Man I loved this video. I love the human perspective of beating a level, the history behind. Thanks for this!
Wow dude, great video! Loved it! Keep up the good work!
Knobbelboy is a legend. And you are too, Lation. Great video ❤️

Knobbelboy was my favorite creator back in the day, and the entire bloodlust verification basically completed my childhood.
At 19:30 i got an ad right at the scream😅 i laughed so hard
Knob is still my fav player in the history of this game. Not only is he GOATED at playing but he also has arguably the best building skills this community will ever see.
yeah he is a great builder but not the best when theres ppl like bli
At the time it was different tho
his gameplay sucks but his deco is pretty good

Correction: At 18:41 Lation said the level was verified on February 26, It was actually February 20th
Good eye
awesome to see the full story told and was cool knobbelboy being a part of it too
I couldn’t imagine what it would be like to be in Knobbelboy's position when verifying the level, having the entire community expecting you to beat the hardest level. I have a lot of respect for Knobbelboy for pushing through it. Really good video!
Really Well Put Together Video
it's so cool to see a legend like knobbelboy talking about his experiences and thoughts in this format. very good video
What a good video! I love it! I would love seeing you do some alternate reality documentary on Mefewe for a future video. Still, amazing video, i loved it
I love the effect at 18:53, it’s like he’s surpassing his past self… very original and nice
lets fucking gooo I LOVE THIS ALREADY
Very nice video. Saw this in my recommended and clicked on it. So well done and informative. Thanks for the video!
I never wondered about his perspective now I want to hear more after watching the video I will definitely be watching the interview

btw: Sonic Wave 96% of riot feels more painful for the community than the 98 of mefewe. Almost noone knew mefewe and I always it was a "hacked attempt" or something

WHY AND HOW IS THIS SUCH A GOOD VIDEO 10/10
Amazing video, and ironic how I recently picked up Bloodlust for my 500th demon and a new hardest.
As a bloodlust victor. It’s such a brutal level. The nerves I felt at tmn are actually unexplainable so I can’t imagine what knobbleboy must have felt.
Knobbelboy has always been one of my favorite players. He seems like such a cool and chill dude!

Yes we needed this so much
1:14 he verified buttless
the bloodlust desk... wonder for how much could he sell it
I did not know a game cubes and triangles could be so epic
This is better than 90% of documentaries today

I'll be honest, the amount of dedication he put into that level is beyond me
Refering the father of youtube like he's some random swedish man is crazy
i didn't know people knew about Grit. Good video.
Knobbleboy is the only reason I beat Phobos ngl, because i was going to quit after i died at 87% but i kept goin
Knobbelboy was like: "I need to make history I am not gonna stop fr" 🗣️🔥
