The Race to Beat Tartarus

[@gmdblue]

One thing I want to mention is that Mullsy had requested for his version to get unrated when Dolphy was able to prove his legitimacy. I also somehow didn’t see the month gap in between the videos lmao, sorry about that. If there’s one thing I am noticing which is good is that I’m making less and less mistakes in my videos. Hope you guys are still able to enjoy it

[@newlineschannel]

Nah, that was the biggest thing in tartarus and you skipped over it.

[@sameeknowsitall]

I was about to say that lmao. Oh btw you did delete the unrated demon list video so yeah.

20:46 Actually, I'd just like to make a correction that's usually missed out a lot: Mullsy actually requested that his version get unrated and Dolphy's version to get rated, he has good sportsmanship :)

Good sportsmanship or he simply didn’t verify it first?

@@bigannoyingbanana1365 I’ve just seen it but I’m just not sure why it’s being brought up. Mullsy has no right to not show sportsmanship. The fact his level was rated in the first place was a complete disrespect in my opinion. But he pulled through in the end so there’s nothing more to say I guess

[@MrWafflz]

I remember being so hyped for Mullsy's progress on the level and being so disappointed that he wasn't the one to finish the job at the end

1:44 Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure Riot said that Silent Akbar was in the makings before Bloodbath had any parts made. Plus you can even see Silent Akbar in Riots levels in his Bloodbath verification video, so it didn't begin in August 2016.

[@zaxandfax]

Ik it’s been two years but what’s ur hardest now?

[@troops3293]

To this day I’ve always said that Mullsy’s 97% fail is the worst in GD history. Not that there haven’t been worse, either further on (dolphy 98) or in harder levels (dils 98), but that fail completely changed the course of GD history. It laid the foundations of one of the biggest mental blocks I’ve ever seen, and in retrospect, it was honestly devastating on a level higher than anything I’ve witnessed in the community.

[@Raven-bz5bb]

Hey blue just found your channel, great video. I've been out of the game and community for a long time, however I remember the day Tartarus was unveiled. I didn't know it had this kind of history, but it was good to listen to as I remembered my days of practicing sonic wave and being almost 100% with any events that were happening during that period. Anyways, just wanted to point out something in your video that may be a problem in future videos. It seems that during the recording of your audio and the subsequent cutting of it to make voiceovers seamless, the audio decides to quickly fade out at the end of each cut. Like for example, I noticed that I started to have a hard time hearing/understanding some of your words and thought it may have been the way you talk. Then I realized it sounds like the audio fades quickly right before a cut. Not that there's any problem with your editing, the whole video is great, it just seems like a technical issue that may have been overlooked. While editing your next video, try and take a deeper look and see if that fixes it ✌️

the random clipping was a result of either vegas having a rendering problem or me using obs to record it. I’m probably going to switch to audacity or something
