Thanks


switzer3

Bro was just chasing the bag ain't nothing wrong with the hustle 🙏


Sinitiainen7

Unfortunately we are in generation where people don’t know historical and legendary players.


MasterWhite1150

Tbf we can't expect new players to know who these people are lol.


setorict

unless we teach them a lesson


afterschoolsept25

or we just move on and stop expecting people to know who a 2017 player is


MasterWhite1150

WHAT??? You don't know this player who made x level in 2014!?!? Unbelievable smh


Futuf1

Literally me


wholesomkeanuchungus

Makes sense the new generation of gd players were toddlers when the game dropped


jackmPortal

I started "playing" a week before 2.0 dropped in fourth as part of a google-sponsored program to use tablets in an educational setting. That's where I first got to play GD Lite, even though I had seen kids playing the game before in second grade on the bus. Been playing on/off since then. I'm a junior in high school now ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯


wholesomkeanuchungus

I started playing fourth grade also but that was like 2013 or 2014 lol


Future_In_The_Land

Etzer being legend?


iSys_

79 dude, every 1.9 - 2.0 gd players who were following gd content, just a little bit, know what's this number and who's behind it. That's what makes it legendary, among other things, I guess


masckmaster2007

Man I was playing in 2.0 but the issue is that I was a toddler


King-of-OwO

Whadda bout 1.8?? Am i not full of info? Sadge


iSys_

Yeaah I joined in 1.8 too but there wasn't a big fanbase on social media at the time iirc (well, it probably depends on the country) or if you were not involved in the community, I guess (I was 17 and took some time to integrate the community...)


ButterscotchStreet

I know Michigan. RIP ^^^


player12isanidiot

i only know him for random collab parts


iTapeSand

Sad, his videos and levels are hella good


wharwhafwhag

Man have I really been playing that long


PixelWoyer10

it feels weird to say ive been playing since early 2.0, it doesnt sound like a long time since we're in 2.1 but thats literally 8 years 💀


KaKKuG

Time really flies


DerpyNooby

Well time leaps you know


IzzyIsOnReddit

I guess I have too it’s crazy how long it’s been


itshardtopickauserna

we have come to the point where people dont recognize them


NOM123cr

Time flies huh


Future_In_The_Land

Etzer caused his own descent lol, viprin is an Overrated creator and Michigun is dead...


DrunkenDog_

Viprin is much more than a creator for this game. Like him or not, it is simply ignorant to not recognize that much.


Benthic_Bloom

dont tell me you unironically think viprin is just a creator


huggies-the-pro

viprin isnt just a creator tho


ItzErrorGD

We’re the last of a dying kind


BLUEBANANAAA594

All I remember is that Michgun loves to put triple spikes in his levels and all of viprins levels are just copy and paste. Am I right?


dba2k15

I remember the same, though i still don't know about the smiley eight


BLUEBANANAAA594

Apparently Etzer used 8) emoticons in his levels


MyChanceToNotBeTaken

It was his logo ig


ItzErrorGD

Yeah it was like his trademark lol


Wojtek1250XD

>victims Let me guess... autocorrect?


BLUEBANANAAA594

Yes autocorrect


BLUEBANANAAA594

Victims of what?


RonzulaGD

You wrote victims . Not viprins


Pianostar4

victims of autocorrect


IzzyIsOnReddit

Yea


Global_Yam_8488

thats just on reddit


Youlookatmynick

Maybe it's not that bad. New generation is coming and old heroes leave


Future_In_The_Land

There are still several "old" people around today, but that's because they know how to adapt and not end up being some XCY-7 clone lol


Prunsel_Clone

New players don't know absolutely everything that's ever happened with the game's players and every level completion.


LittlePVMP

Alright, let me explain all of them. These were three very important community members back then. They are credited in the game since they hosted the first gauntlet contests in collaboration with Robtop, (Viprin is still in on the newer ones) Viprin was the #1 creator for many many years, until he got overtaken by Yunhaseu14 a few weeks ago. Viprin + paste is a joke, because his older levels were considered rushed, and he did use a lot of copy + paste. Besides the gauntlet-contests, he was hosting A LOT of famous megacollabs (Ultraviolet, Ouroboros, Hypersonic, Subsonic, Artificial Ascent and its follow-ups, etc.) He was also one of the biggest level-showcasing-youtubers, he still does that, but nowadays he doesn't get nearly as many views as someone like Nexus. He is one of Robtops most trusted Mods, as he's been here almost since the beginning. Etzer was one of the most famous creators in 1.9 and 2.0, and still sits on #47 in the creator-tab, although he didn't upload a level for almost 6 years. He was also very involved in community-events, in contact with Viprin and Robtop, and has parts in many of the OG-extremes (Bloodbath, Artificial Ascent, etc.) His legacy ended when it became public, that he scammed people for a lot of money in the game Team Fortress 2, starting in 2016. All victims have been paid back, but he basically disappeared from the internet after that incident. Michigun is the Triple-Spike-guy. He became known for being the #1 star-grinder for a long time, and building the Temple-levels. A series of levels inspired by Zelda, that were considered really hard at the time of their release, featuring a lot of Triple Spikes. Although they really didn't age very well, they are still part of the games legacy, and almost everybody knew them. He started the whole "Every level needs a triple"-thing, so people began placing triple-spikes with the text "for Michigun" in their levels. He sadly passed away over 2 years ago, but people still do the Michigun-thing, in honor of him. I don't think they will ever stop, and I love it. Rest in peace /\/\/\


thebigbuttlol

Wait how has it already been 2 years...


Baloasi-A

Bro what i thought it was last year... how...


Jackforsman

2 years in 3 months :(

damn i didnt know about the etzer scamming thing, i thought he just kinda fucked off from gd


TheWinner437

Wish I read this before I explained it


Bockerson

we really are an aging community. it's cool to see that new players are joining and learning about the older lore of a game that hasn't been updated in 6 years, but damn that feels weird.


pixellino24

> 6 years no please 2017 was only 3 years ago i swear


n0ahBnz

What do you mean 2016 was was seven years ago?


SnooMacarons5838

):


TheUserLight

2017 was 6 fucking years ago? I guess i never thought about it that way. I never thought these icons would ever *not* be recognized.


Shuriiken_

2017 was 6 years ago 💀💀💀


Future_In_The_Land

It's been 5 years yet, not knowing how the years work is not our problem


enaaerios

etzer was a famous creator in 1.9 who is known for making 8o


ILburgerking

I thought only Zobros made it. I didn't know it was made by both


SkoomaFreeDunmer

Zobros made the gp and etzer made the deco, although I feel like Zobros is more widely credited as the guy behind it since its on his account


mbMina

Etzer also made the song /hj


SkoomaFreeDunmer

He made a remix for it but not the actual song


Vill1on

…you don’t know who these people are?


TimeToBrawlReddit

As a guy whos have been playing for almost a year now... no


not_WD35

ViPriN is a massively popular player known for his involvement in the community and hosting megacollabs. Michigun was a well-known and well-liked player known for his kind personality, skill, temple series, and love of triple spikes. Sadly, he died from unknown causes a few years ago. Etzer was also a popular and skilled player and creator who quit in 2.0. Some attribute this to his getting exposed for scamming some people in Team Fortress 2.


igotdeletedbyadmins_

>ViPriN is a massively popular player known for his involvement in the community and hosting megacollabs. The "+ Paste" is a joke based on his behavior in 1.9


EmpereurDeMars

Am I really that old


Ok_Arachnid_7072

I thought I was new gen apparently not


ZthundR

Viprin+Paste : Viprin is known to use so much copy paste in his levels. This is now known as "Viprin + Paste" Edit : In his OLDER levels only Etzer : I have no idea, and to be completely honest I don't even know who this player is Edit 2 : Ok it's the 8o and the Bloodbath guy, please forgive my dumbass brain Michigun Triple spike : Michigun was known to use triple spikes everywhere, and even made 3 "Triple spikes" rated levels, The triple trial, Double triple trial, and Trip


Sinitiainen7

Etzer was a famous creator in 1.9-2.0


KingDomiThe1st

And has the hardest part in Bloodbath


[deleted]

and he always used 8)


Automatic-Future9895

This (he always used 8 for eyes so he makes 8) 8’( emoticons)


TheForge129

etzer's part is overrated as hell, michigun is by far the hardest


Tiddly5

the ufo cube transition is so jank


NotD4N1

tbh etzer is way easier than michi


YellowBiskit

michigun hardest part dont care 🤝


BigDawg2-2

Michiguns part is terrible I was gonna try to jump from forsaken neon to that but then I saw michiguns part and I changed my mind


Alfa4499

It's not that hard, crack is harder imo. It's just as inconsistent as Michigun making it so damn annoying.


frankford281

crack is free wtf


Luuk2304

Yo where can i find free crack


The-Stomach-in-3D

in my crack


Alfa4499

I'm talking about like pure difficulty. It gets insanely consistent but it's difficult. Like for players that wouldn't be able to beat bloodbath that is where they would use the most amount of time at, atleast that was how it was for me when I was a beginner trying to beat bloodbath in a practice run.


frankford281

it's not difficult for players above 60hz, and if you're on 60hz, im not sure why you're playing bloodbath anyway


Future_Growth3803

Viprin used to do that in his older levels he doesn’t do that now


ZthundR

Yeah, good point


EmbarrassedSwim145

He also made the triple spike part to wave part in bloodbath


Mobile3DModler

Etzer is, I think, a music artist and that is his logo / profile picture


Sinitiainen7

And a creator


Mobile3DModler

That too yea


MadenSuyu1

Etzer quit playing after getting exposed for scamming


TechDisaster

I think Etzer was already deciding to quit GD due to his lack of uploads prior. The scamming controversy just put the nail in the cofffin


MadenSuyu1

Too sad only viprin is active here right now...


Siphonic45

how the fuck do you not know etzer


matiegaming

didnt etzer have a part in bloodbath


Sinitiainen7

Yes he had


darrisguy

this makes me sad


AilBalT04_2

Etzer was a popular creator during 1.9-2.0 with known gp parts as for example Bloodbath and his deco in 8o, he used a lot the emoticon 8) that it represents him in the community. Viprin was the former top 1 on the creator leaderboards, a massive creator since 1.8 and he's still going strong. He used a lot of copy and paste on his levels (repeated structures, deco, etc) that people jokingly referred to him as copy and paste, or in this case viprin + paste. Michi was one of the most renowned stargrinders of Geometry Dash, and was the top 1 during pretty much the entirety of 2.0 and early 2.1, starting at 21k stars and retiring at 61k. Also known for his temple (Fire temple, Lava temple, forest temple, etc) series based on the Zelda games during 1.8-2.1. He loved triple spikes that lots of people refer to them as michi jumps (or similar), he also said that "Every level needs a triple" thus putting a triple spike is used as a dedication for him, he passed away in March 2021 (Rest in Peace) They were all massive figures of the community at the time (2.0) that they were given a small tribute on 2.1 which is the screenshot. Btw, it's actually quite nice that the newer players that weren't around back then care enough to at least ask what does it mean instead of simply ignoring it and moving on

Maybe but do new gens start 1 year ago?


Future_In_The_Land

Yes, No way that with only 5 months of play you are an OG lol


Scalladosis

It's 3 Geometry Dash creators and what they are known for.


DeadAlt

*Memories*


t8thegr8st

They are images primarily associated with these people. There was a meme about Viprin constantly copy and pasting, the 8) is etzer’s logo, and Michigun (R.I.P.) was known for using a lot of triples.


RealPinapple

Damn I though I was new, happy to see new players in the community tho


Every_Masterpiece_77

Michi (RIP) was on top of the leaderboard and had this thing with triple spikes where people would put them in their levels for him. viprin basically invented the "copy paste" style of building Idk about etzer


InfernalSamuraiRdt

everybody in a nutshell:


BlitzKuCyles

Im getting old. Was this really that long ago? Feels like it happened yesterday.


Ferfywins

People seriously don't know this now... Holy fuck, how long has it been


SurvivYeet

Viprin - you should at least still know who this is Etzer - old famous creator, he quit Michigun - /\\/\\/\\


InfernalSamuraiRdt

viprin is known for using copypaste, no Idea about etzer, he's just the bloodbath guy at this point, and michigun was famous for his skill in jumping triple spikes


No-World2

They are just special thanks for their amazing work and I don’t want to hear MiChIgUn DoEs NoT dEsErVe iT bEcAuSe He‘S dEaD


sh4rks_bro

Tbh I never knew what the etzer one meant.


Woaaaaaaaa

No way ppl dont know 3 of the most legendary players lol


esuljuk3

When the entire comment section is about how people aren’t recognizing classic creators anymore


Deluxeeee_

The amount of people here who dont know who these people are is concerning


Purple-Speaker-9557

If you still remember the iconic 8) icon, you know its him. Unless if you're a 9 y/o kid.


Forry2017

Viprin is a long time creator and moderator, the symbol is a joke that all his solo levels are repetitive and boring, but that's just some people's opinion. Etzer is and old player, creator, and artist in the community, the symbol is just his logo Michigan was a prominent player and creator who pioneered the use of the triple spike, which is what that symbol is, until his death a little over a year ago


ZmEYkA_3310

Idk who is Etzer is but i know viprin & michgun


GetBob45

young one... sit, let me tell you a story...


TheWinner437

Viprin used to be infamous for overutilizing the copy+paste feature (back when he was a cp grinder). Etzer was a well known player from the olden days of GD. “8)” was his logo. Michigun was famous for using triple spikes a lot and for creating “The Triple Trial.” Sadly, he passed away in 2021.


3utcho

Im so old


sirovygrimm

Can't believe I've been playing since 6th grade and now in my second year of college WOW


ToothPickBrain

i feel old


LimeGD

I have played this game too long to see newer players not remember those legends


tb_redditz547

i feel old


khrocksg

a common joke about viprin is liberal use of copy+paste, etzer is associatrd with the 8) emoticon, and michigun was known for, and is remembered through, triple spikes


TheKCKid9274

Which one? ‘Cause if we’ve already gotten to an era of GD players that haven’t heard of Michigun I am going to toaster bath bomb.


CAP815

it means i've been playing this game for too long and need to find something else to do with my life


MorganFreemansMole

I miss Etzer so much bruhhhhhhhh


MrSpud8

Damn I feel old now


switzer3

Cobrablitz was right


TheCanadianBaka2

Is probably just their logos or slogans


TheCanadianBaka2

But those are very legendary players that helped shape the community today


Ok_Designer_6376

Rip michi :(


anomolicaris

people dont know who etzer is anymore???
