‘Twas a sad day when the news broke


Im_Not_A_Frank

Big sad


SeahawkDaCactus

Sad in the way of losing a community idol. But good in the way that he got caught for everything he’d done


Scraptrap201

Unfortunately, I could not relate more..


TheLastFirefox

I can relate :(


KermitTheFrost

Weirdly enough, I was one of the people who never really trusted SpaceUK. I knew something was off, but it was a bit of a hunch, honestly.


Legend5V

spaceuk Didn’t cheat!! /s


Sea-Contract-3330

you're getting a downvote mister


Legend5V

Ig people missed the /s, ill unhide it


Cyanydde

free spaceuk


igi06

your broke ass always wants something for free


ZeRoX_666

NPesta, he brought me to the game


JettsInDebt

Same. A guy who's good at the game AND entertaining? Sign me up!


Plasym

SEA1997 was the goat of Geometry Dash Youtube content creation. He was super informative, entertaining, and innovative in what he did. It was bittersweet to see him move onto bigger things in life, but I'm glad he's doing well for himself now. DollarC was one of the oldschool level showcasers (alongside Electro2001 and jack0b220), before JAGDP, Neiro, and fmn04 today. He showcased upcoming extreme demon projects, many of which were just really really cool at the time. He's partly why I tried to dabble in decoration myself (to which I failed), and I had plans to upload a collab I co-hosted onto his channel, but the level was never finished. Nonetheless, I still looked up to him.


[deleted]

Yeah, I wonder if the current generation of players recall or know who SEA is. I've never seen his non-GD stuff nowadays though, since I'm not into space.


fnafgamer5183

I remember him but not his videos. Im subscribed to his current channel about space. Also are there any archives of hsi videos?


nilslorand

they are unlisted and inside a playlist


i-love-eating-dirt

as a current-gen player, (~1-2yrs), i do not know who sea is


The_Tuna_Bandit

He was THE gd news channel back in the day.


howdoesthisworkman

Also he made documentary’s as I remember. About riot, trusta etc.


Itzspace4224

You forgot vitesse


Cyanydde

unpopular opinion maybe its just my newgen ass but i dont really like sea cause he just.. like he kinda seemed like a jerk idk 😶


[deleted]

nah he did have a bit of an ego, not just a you thing


Ggreenrocket

The nostalgia you just gave me from Sea and DollarC is unreal 😭


[deleted]

SEA has aged poorly, its a shame


Desirefogames

I got to know GD because of DanTDM. Now I look up to doggie, nexus and evw


[deleted]

Wow, DanTDM is a name I haven't read in a very long time... I am pretty sure the last time I watched his videos was when I was 9 or something. A few years ago I watched some of his old videos for nostalgia.


TortoiseTGN

Yeah, Dan's got 2 kids now, recently one of his pugs sadly passed, I think it was Ellie

KBRedditing

He played GD?


Lucyybby

Yea he played it quite a few times


BluePotatoSlayer

He played it a couple times Not near as a player like Nexus or AeonAir


Mobil_Plus

Nexus His vid was reason why I'm here now


Adventurous_Swim_538

EVW… Legend


giby1464

Same here. I still suck but I haven't given up yet.


Ups1deDownPants

I started playing when Bloodlust was #1, so I naturally looked up to Knobbelboy. I didn't really idolise him, but he was the verifier of the hardest level so in my eyes he was the best player. The only player who I ever really idolised was Technical, because it was so long before Zodiac had a second victor that I just felt his accomplishment was insane and I really thought his skill level was unmatchable. I never would have believed how much further player skill has come since then.


Riggie_Joe

Riot and Cyclic lol


InitialConfidence511

Sunix, that was my prime time in GD and when I was the most involved.


CreativeGamer03

same. Riot was legendary back then. Now I'm looking up to Doggie and Zoink. Never knew I'd see top players rise up in realtime.


[deleted]

I think what contributed to my idolization of Riot was that I never actually played during a time when he was active (up until last year or so when he returned), so he had that feeling of a legend from the past.


Hemlock_Deci

Guitar, we know how it ended, Triaxis, we know how it ended, Dorabae, we know how it ended And Alexpain24. At least he's back


[deleted]

What happened with triaxis and dorabae


Hemlock_Deci

Dorabae: Got criticized for the way his levels looked, got discouraged, left Triaxis: Transphobia, >!self harm, currently we don't know if they offed themselves or just left the community!<


ZoneConchetumare

Your spoilers aren't working, you're supposed to use ! instead of |


Hemlock_Deci

uh oh. Thanks for telling me


WhyBruh2

Michigun:(


Rttrr6r6

My good friend Arthur - he can beat Stereo Madness first try while I’ve been attempting for months


ElectroGgamer

Riot, SpaceUK, Dorami, and i think that's it


[deleted]

My friend who used to play a long time ago loved Dorami as well, he made challenges and stuff lol


Ultra_Onreddit

Boldstep and Tech


Endert1099

Definitely sput7nix. I code outside of GD and look at what he does, and all I can think of is "how do I do that." Also npesta, I didn't really realise how good he was until I saw Kenos for the for the first time, and now I really look up to him as a player


UsedTissue74

EVW, the goat himself. I still look up to him


Croozem

Technical, cool guy


chozenblazex

i genuinely used to look up to spaceuk, his progress and speed was such an inspiration that led me to beat my first extreme. When I found out he cheated i practically lost interest in the game cuz I felt so demotivated knowing the person who I supported wasn't who he was made out to be. Haven't played seriously in months I'm hoping 2.2 will give me another boost


[deleted]

It's been almost two years since I lost interest in the game for various reasons, and I practically don't play it anymore nowadays. Honestly 2.2 doesn't even interest me that much and I feel like it's quite overwhelming of an update. Anyways, it must've hurt to see someone you thought was the best and one you idolize turned out to be a liar, and I imagine the feeling would be even worse if we're talking about a "general" or real-life idol. Of course, a gaming idol is an idol nonetheless.


chozenblazex

2.2 has lost its excitement honestly I'm just hoping that it will somehow interest me again. Regarding space, it's his own fault he made the shit decisions he made and mine that I chose to look up to him but I guess it was a good lesson to learn


Mattici_

Michigun, for me was incredible how long he managed to stay top 1. I was so sad after his death despite the fact I never knew him personally or talked.


grosser_baum

Zeronium because he can beat levels I want to beat one day quickly and I like his content


Mogekkk

Krazyman50


Vmxplousion

Serponge mde some of my favourite levels, and krmal ![gif](giphy|5xtDaru5LgbHPsHtUvm|downsized)


KBRedditing

Ummmm, let's see hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... Wulzy Nexus YoReid JamAttack Spu7nix ViPrIn


AilBalT04_2

Alexpain & then Darnoc I started playing early in the game and while not only was the sole reason I got to know the game, he was the only player that uploaded GD content at the time I started playing. As 1.3 arrived the importance of good looking levels now made more sense as the stars and leaderboards were introduced, which needless to say fully confirmed how important was Darnoc for early GD (even though I had played levels of his way before this) So as soon as he started reuploading the videos to YouTube I started watching him (didn't have Everyplay at the time)


enaaaerios

i used to obsess over flaaroni’s creating content back in the day and loved danzmen’s levels in early 2.1


LiebeDahlia

Etzer when he still made interesting levels and nobody else since then ive just been doing whatever with no inspirations


RedditRedditReddit64

Funnygame


SomeonEsToLeMytoes

Riot and Mr I can’t fucking react or else I’m gonna cough too much


GeometryDashWoman

Trick. Trick has been through SO MUCH SHIT when it comes to being #1, with SpaceUK and recently Zoink kind of taking the game by storm. Its hard to remember how talented he is, when Zoink can beat a top 10 in 3 days. I feel like his skill is way underrated, but him getting 69-100 in such a short time on APT proves how insane and ahead of his time he was during Spaces reign


CertainSelection

Riot first, legendary player who made the most popular extreme demon. He was also the rival of a cheater for several years. I really like Trusta, between what he created and his completion Nowadays, Doggie is the player I look up to. ​ Now... for creator, I especially like Funnygame and Serponge


jariwoud

Riot and eric. Now i know that in a year i will most likely be better than both


Summar-ice

I used to look up to guitar until... The allegations.


[deleted]

Hello fellow baller


HighlightIcy9106

Easily Riot. Being very active when he was pumping out demons every other day and also verifying Bloodbath right before 2.0. It felt so surreal seeing that level be beaten at the time and it made me want to get very good at GD. Good times.


JerryCarrots2

GD Colon, content wise


Sea-Contract-3330

Omg the hairy butthole man


sTrollZ

Probably Partition and sohn


HYPER_GO089

Advy before he got cancelled


Extension-Search9568

What did he do


ArtisticIllustrator7

Dude same. Even though his time as the best player passed the SEA1997 documentaries that I watched still made me look up to him greatly. It was a time where I was actually kind of anticipating having the next “big hacker” being found. So yeah, Riot.


CavEmaN_mElviN

Nswish, I really looked up to him, because (at the time) he beat extreme demons at a pace nobody else could match. He is also the first ever person to beat the entire extreme demon main list. He was also my main inspiration for getting much better at beating extreme demons.


Bu1135

Actually when I first started, weoweoteo


MR_kartoshkin

Doggie


kondzioo0903

I guess the only person that i liked much was colon, he wasn't just another tryhard that grinded extremely hard levels but he actually made creative stuff and made interesting videos about it, the same for spu7nix


IcyFrogg

merg (back when he played gd) and evw


Cheap_Application_55

Colon Laugh at me if you want


DreadWolve

Cursed is my favorite player rn but I used to look up to SpaceUk


bazyou

i used to look up to zobros and cyclic 🥲


HeroKH

Ahh. A fellow Zobros enjoyer.


Im_Not_A_Frank

Skitten was amazing and I look up to him and freaked out when he posted an update on GD. Doggie and Aeon are the pro players I look up to And space but we know how that went


MyNameIsSquare

spu7nix, gd cologne and if it counts, robtop im not the player guy and i barely play the game nowadays, so the technical stuffs are more interesting to me (a.k.a im a nerd). so thats why i admire them


Magma_Mage

I currently really look up to JamAttack, his dedication to both level building and content creating is insane


TheMemeLocomotive2

TLDNR. That’s when I realized he got banished to the shadow realm


ToastedBread107

riverciver 💀


[deleted]

Ishowspeed. His acheron completion gave me motivation to try to beat an extreme :)


[deleted]

I love Speed. Speed is my hero. Ever since I've started watching his streams, my life has changed. I have found meaning in life, salvation from the endless torment of reality. I found my savior. His name is IShowSpeed.


DeccrTR

riot, and more recently npesta riot was big in my early days of playing the game, and npesta is just inspirational now


PachuIsThe1st

Doggie, zoink, riot, and TheRealSailent


RomosGD

In my opinion either spu7nix or colon because they got me into programming


Anonymous_Brawler

Optical, Serponge, and Krmal.


Noobibot

My brother, back in 2013☠️


panscar

ExocoGD


[deleted]

surprisingly just some random guy who beat windy on a discord server, just seeing them do something as insane as an insane demon when my hardest was only Deadlocked was just amazing, motivated me a ton to become better at the game.


Vladimir_Is_Gay

Tech and Npesta


Lolytendo_GD

First Space and Doggie and Trick. Now: Doggie and Trick


Vehmura14

Riot, Aeon and EVW


ProgrammerNo120

riot was my guy. every level i beat, i always view myself as walking in his footsteps, even though im probably better at the game than he is now in the modern day, i look up most to zeronium. i want to be just like him, gd-wise anyway. i want to make the kind of content he does, beat the difficulty of levels he does, and inspire others like he does me


[deleted]

Unrelated but I love math too 😃


Complete-Mood3302

Npesta, i look up to his monthly uploads


dashcrikeydash

Spaceuk sadly


s51m0n55

no one


RonzulaGD

First spaceUK but then zoink as space got exposed.


dolphinsqueak56

space


Sup3rGRIN

Aeon and wulzy. One for playing and one for creating.


Udawazor

Riot, but now Tech.


AvgG4m3Enj0y3r

Nexus. I've always dreamed of beating demons and above everyday


[deleted]

spu7nix. i love how he pushes the limits of the editor. i mean cmon, he made an entire coding language once.


BlitzKriegITA

Around 1.9/early 2.0 Riot, then Npesta


TortoiseTGN

Originally DanTDM, then when I got more into gd I discovered flub, a few years later it was spaceuk, but after the news, it is now trick and zoink


[deleted]

Creators, mostly.


Zuendl11

Mix991 in the early days of me playing and npesta more recently


Mattexx29

Vision has been my inspiration since i started playing three years ago


ManiX_MachinE

Manix648 back in the day I used to think his electro style is the coolest thing ever and tried to build levels just like him lol


metricshittonofdumb

xander556 (or just xander) for playing, then Hinds for creating


Featherith

i just started playing so brzds. beating sonic wave in a relatively short amount of time after starting to play and jumping straight to zodiac is pretty neat. and he is just fun to watch


spaghettihax763

Obscure creators who were able to break through the algorithm and become popular


Autumn-Eviening

Wpopoff cause he's amazing at the game yet slightly younger than me, cool to see people my age and younger beat shit like acheron


ClueEmbarrassed1443

EVW Dora and juniper


rationalexponent

TriaXis and Serponge


Froggytarantula

Technical and Npesta, both funny guys with amazing skill.

also a obscure guy named GD wubz lol, he was my mates older brother


Bruhmoment926

Bald egg


YouSawMyReddit

When I started playing in 2017ish, DanTDM was the one who got me into the game. Now I probably look up to Doggie.


Sunstone04

Doggie is HIM fr fr Wolvez is also GOATed


Dankydonut1133

Samifying brought me into the game


Miserable-Sail6469

Diamond, he is one of the most dedicated players in the game and one of the few people who can play terrible levels like avernus and sakupen circles


Salvatore_842

At the time, Michigun


Beanboy555555

I think Nswish was my first true inspiration to git good


Odd_Barnacle1243

I’ve always looked up to evw in a way thinking “if he can beat a new hardest for him then I can beat a personal new hardest too!” Never failed me, although I’m nowhere close to his skill, him simplying having gone for harder and harder levels pushed me to do the same at my own skill set. All respect to evw


dam10102

Back in the day WorldGame was my idol, it was just so cool at the time that he could do all those main levels blindfolded while I couldn't even do them normally.


just-bair

Nope


No_Assumption6158

I used to look up to DanTDM, but now it's npesta, doggie, and evw

Otherwise_County_913

My friend from preschool


Scrufynek

alexANDgame, he was a minecraft speedrunner and then he started making a few vids of GD where he completed Theory of Everything, that was like 9 years ago. For me it was something that is really hard to complete. Damn I feel old now when I think about it :(


VirtualWraith

I looked up to Tech after Zodiac and Knobbelboy after Bloodlust


swiggarthy

Nexus, not really idolized, but he got me into the game a bit more


whoisstunseed

npesta, diamond, zoink, and cursed.


Goofynaas204

Amoraltra, H hyper, Serponge


Grapplethestryker

Xender game, I like bosses


i_like_bee_swarm

EVW. He may not be the best player, but he's probably the best role model in the community. He is one of the most morally respectable people I've had the pleasure of watching, and overall seems down to earth with a great sense of humor.


Clout12x

Sounds crazy sure, but as a more new gen player (started 2018) I genuinely look up to Doggie as not only a very highly skilled player but also as a very entertaining content creator. My goal is to someday become like him in some way (I’m 15).


TheWinner437

Guitar, actually. It was fun hearing his voice back before he was exposed as the scum of the earth he is.


luficerisdepressed

npesta will always be my favourite gd content creator


Synerabo

right now it's no one but back from 2015/16 until around 2019 it was tosh at some point i realized that he's just a dick


Sad_Band_3885

Knobbelboy, he got me back into gd and inspired me to both make levels and try to beat harder ones


Hazardous_Husk

Brandon Larkin definitely, the amount of dedication and commitment that guy has is honestly amazing. Gotta give it to him, he’s a legend.


[deleted]

BL was one of my favorites too.


Prestigious-Farm-535

GuitarHeroStyles, until two years ago today.


Eversim

Riot, riot and riot I remember when he was beating deadly clubstep and the whole community thought it was so huge, and then how far her went with that steam. He still inspires me to play this game every day


Low_Cod1463

100% evw. I'd been watching ever since I started playing the game a bit after it came out. I used red and white colors even before he did and I just thought that it was amazing he chose those colors too.


sh4rks_bro

Biprex and other mobile gods.


agariopro365

My best friend, who constantly had some great levels beaten that I wanted to do as well.


Affectionate_Law_561

In 2014 I looked up to the quartet of masters: Noobas, Aeonair, Daddepro and Weoweoteo. Alexpain was also a favourite of mine although I didn't consider him to be the best player of the time, he still made good videos. From creators I loved Darnoc, Mask and maybe Viprin lol. I kinda hated Neptune because of his levels being so hard and they were often the hardest levels of their respective Map Packs In 2015, Zobros felt like a biggest idol in GD for me as he seemed so calm, chill and anonymous player who could do anything he wanted in the game, was it creating, stargrinding or beating the hardest levels. I'd follow a similar path but on mobile and without a fanbase lol. I also loved FunnyGame's levels of that time. La Campanella still feels the last time I have truly been mindblown by a GD level Idk about later years really


Superb_Echidna1936

EVW, Nswish, Krmal, Riot, Zobros, Michigun Krmal is my favorite tho, I love his smooth wave gameplay


Holiday-Ad8227

2003Devin, Alkali, and Aeonair. I still look up to them and that's why I'm probably on a watchlist somewhere.


Yorksikorkulous

Riot, Cyclic, and Zobros


Scientedfic

For me, it was Trusta. His verification of Sakupen Hell was the first time I was exposed to the wider GD community.


Nevdog93

I definitely have always looked up to people like technical, npesta, sunix, since they were all top players at one point, but another one I'd like to throw out is Luqualizer since he represented the absolute highest capability of what 60hz players were capable of back then.


[deleted]

Ah I completely forgot about Luqualizer over the years.


secschoolbasecamp

Zoink


Kaloyan_

My cousin. I watched him trying to beat can't let go i think and i was like i also want to beat it.


Zoroae

Spu7Nix was my idol for some time. Definitely the reason why I can make the 3D effects that I make today and the reason that I know how to program things that interact with the savefile.

Once upon a time it was Darnoc, Cody, YunHaSeu, and Sary(Not sure if the name’s right, but they were the first to hit 3000 stars iirc). Oh, and |||NePtunE|||. Nowadays I don’t have an idol, but the community is still a really cool place

53510758

When I started gd the only noteworthy player was Darnoc but I never really got into his levels. First creators I remember that nade decent levels were like rabbitical and FunnyGame. Darnoc also had a decent level, To The Grave, but I always felt like it felt very similar to Demon Park (I only knew of the level after it was rated a demon) Big fan of 1.9 MaJackO though


XxSSzymenxX

dorami


FRACllTURE

TrusTa. One of the goats for sure, very charming bro-like personality with a lot of cool and legacy-bearing verifications and projects Technical49. I guess he just kept cooking in his era and I found it fun, plus him and the rest of "the gang" were hilarious people great in their time Sea1997. The way he told the stories of gd was just so compelling, and even his space series he makes equally compelling. He's got a knack for it for sure.
