Just a correction: At 2:22, this comment was about why I started making hard songs in the first place. After Jordan and Through the Fire and Flames, all that was left was custom songs and after I exhausted the hard ones in there, there was nothing left that was fun for me in Guitar Hero anymore. This is also why "Soulless" has its name. The original was just a difficult and soulless arrangement of notes.
@@DanielTheUncoolio Just because something is undercharted doesn't mean it's not hard. Exile himself has literally confirmed that a few parts of S4 were undercharted.
A highlight of the 2016 Las Vegas meetup was when Drew and Glenn were arguing if Obsidian was FCable at Denny's. Wish I could find that video again, Drews reaction was priceless making a big scene at the restaurant lol.
9 more FCs to make a nether portal all jokes aside seeing this FC when it first came was genuinely insane. i truly am proud of the community of FCing a song that people genuinely thought was impossible for the longest time
13:31 imagine working hard grinding a song every day, making history with it, and have it be from your runs where you arent wearing pants in the facecam
I should mention that a lot of my runs of Obsidian definitely weren't practiced for ages on end, I really only hopped on for a solid 2-3 hours each time i grinded something relating to it and got everything very quickly
I guess this poses an interesting question: "Is Darkly the most ambitious and skilled combined GH player, or is merely the pioneer for pushing what is thought possible to lead the rest of the community to push themselves even further beyond?" Either way, Darkly has done the most for redefining GH/CH in my eyes and so much of what has kept me entertained and amazed started with Darkly. Fantastic video Etienne!
I always thought that darkly was the most naturally skilled player. He’s good at everything and better than other players that have better methods for certain things, guys basically a savant haha.
18:19 A better way to tell if someone's on an FC is the presence of the gold ring around the score multiplier. Far easier than deducing from scores or note counts. Good stuff otherwise.
I remember people being impressed when i hit message to blue 3x in a row slower which goes show how hard the section was. Unfortunately for me tobi beat me in the race for first ever slow fc (i had a -1 a few days before he fced it.) And he made sure to rub it in my face lol.
If Darkly ISNT the GOAT, then he will still go down as one of the greatest to ever play the game...simply based off his ability to literally push/lead the entire gh/ch community to entirely new heights. It’s like his specialty is literally single-handedly making everyone take a better look at what is considered to be within the realms of possibility...like people say “this section is not possible or viable in a run” ...darkly comes along and pushes himself until he is able to do what was considered impossible, which in turn puts pressure/hope on other players to push themselves to do the same...next thing you know, that “impossible section” is fc’d by multiple members of the community and the skills of the community as a whole has been “levelled up” per se.... IMHO Darkly is like the Atlas of the community...he literally takes the entire community on his shoulders and forged ahead paving the way for us all LMAO
another gem mang. Awesome to see this song get the attention it deserves edit: A player known as Frank on his 2nd channel "A Roomba on Psychedelics" has MTB 125 and the means of getting it at 150
I think the worst thing about the community is just the "like that's ever gonna happen, impossible" people. Like how many times can you be wrong before you stop doubting the evolution of players skill
Absolutely amazing video. I was never around in this community when obsidian was released and this video made it super easy to get into the parts I wasn't there for and overall nothing dragged on. Excellent video overall, and yeah, Darkly is just too good at CH. Amazing work Etienne.
I watched darkly's obsidian fc days before this and I thought to myself "I'd really like to see the history behind this song, wonder if Etienne will make a video on it" and come to find in my notifications Score Progression of Obsidian. You literally made my day
nitpicking out of the way, I absolutely love how these videos are always presented in a way that makes you want to see the original videos that the accomplishments came from. Something about the presentation just makes me want to follow these people more, and that's something that's hard to finagle in videos like this.
WHAAAAT just a few days ago I was watching your other GH score progression videos from over a year ago and subscribed, and now you happen to upload a new one???? I LOVE YOU
You should make vids like this about certain RB/RB2 Drum charts. I have many fond memories of people like IBitePrettyHard, kknyrass, JLC, Blindz0r, mrallen95, and many others from back then, and it seems like the whole community has been largely forgotten about. Haven't really seen any videos documenting that scene. some notable first FCs would be Blindz0r's Blinded by Fear FC(s), mrallen95's Visions FC, IBitePrettyHard's many first FCs which kind of opened the door for more people to mod their drums and go for accuracy. Anyway, you probably have other shit going on but I thought it would make a really good video. Thanks for all this dope rhythm game content, your channel is truly a godsend.
I'm realizing I kinda missed the mark as far as your format, so besides the first FCs I mentioned there are a whole bunch of spam charts that would be doc-worthy. Some include What a Horrible Night to Have a Curse and Young Man Blues (live at Leeds). They aren't as hard as ExileLord's charts but I think the fact that every RB Drum player was fighting with technical limitations at the time makes it interesting.
I totally remember back in 2014 when I first found out about the community I first saw Message to Blue on TobeGH3s montage (which is an all-time classic). Also one of the first GH players I have watched at that time. In other words on this particular section on that montage, I have always thought to myself "I wondered if anyone got it on Full Speed?" or "Will anyone even grind the full song ever?" Until 5 years later, I remember I was in school in my culinary class that day and I get notified that Darkly uploaded a video of him FCing Message to Blue on full speed and I watched it and I was just in disbelief that it was fucking over that very day. What an insane madman and still such an iconic section FC on this very day.
Oh dear god, I remember chandler/osupression, he was obsessed with me for like, at least 3 months, commenting on videos I made randomly, and stating he had made a song in his head using my name at the time, Princess Syko
I love Darkly. His dedication is amazing. His ability to come back and replay the same chart after incredibly painful chokes (or reverse chokes) is so awesome. :)
GH3 Wii guitars don't need to be modified to rake the one-fingered way consistently, which is part of why they're considered one of the best starter guitars now (alongside the facts that they're ludicrously common cause everyone had a wii + the raphnet adapters just make them super consistent)
So... what's left of Exilelord's discography now? The ones I can think of now is: -Hellidox -Soulless 6 -The co-op songs that he want you to play with one guitar in each hand -All of his Crash Test songs Let me know if there's any I missed
Canon wise, he's dead. Soulless 6 is called uncanon by him and hellidox is just spedup?. Crash test doesn't count and the double handed ones have been fced solo style so those are "dead" too
Remove Soulless 6 cause CarneyJared got that shit packed up even if it a dead song to Exile. But Hellidox is probably never gonna be FC since it was dropped like a year ago or 2 now.
This is still my favorite FC to date; even if there might be a better one ATM for CH. Just the background on this song, the meme of it and for a GH/CH custom - it doesn't sound too bad. I also like that it's a stupidly hard 3 minute song instead of a stupidly hard 20 minute song
I didn't realize for the longest time that if you have empty audio space, it repeats the last frame of the previous audio until new audio shows up, so I now have audio of just nothing I use to fill in all the gaps. Took a couple years, but I figured it out LOL
Was in the call with Darkly when he originally pulled off that -2 run, and proceeded to get another -2 10minutes later; all after saying "let me practice 4finger mtb rq" That was literally the point in my CH career where I stopped calling anything in this game impossible lmfao. He shut me up good with that one.
I like how ExileLord initially left the Guitar Hero comunity by saying fuck you, here's a chart so hard, most won't even pass it. Which can go for most of those hard charts of his, which are like all of them except the one from that one video H...E...L...P...M...E... which is easy as hell for an ExileLord chart, but that was'int the point of that chart.
MTB is damn near the biggest middle finger that I can think of from anybody to anything. Considering exile called the chart a middle finger himself, MTB did it perfectly. Also Darkly is fucking insane.
