I think that Zoink is better than Poppof, mainly due to experience. Trick and Zoink are OG players (though not really); Zoink started his career in 2021, while Poppof began in 2023. Zoink might not be as skilled as Poppof, but he definitely has more experience. The Slaughterhouse 3-times-in-a-row completion is probably harder than Tidal Wave, but the grind and consistency that Poppof gained on that level make me think it doesn't necessarily determine who is the best. Trick won the race against Poppof because he's a veteran player, so Zoink would likely be able to win a race against Poppof simply due to his greater overall knowledge of the game. Zoink is, in my opinion, the 2nd best player right now. (Maybe I'm wrong, but without a real race between these two players, we can't be sure of that.)
Hey, great video. I just wanted to say some stuff. Firstly, I don't care about KaiGuy's content. I used to watch SML so I'm one of the last people to say anything. Second, to me, business is business. I always respect a good hustle. I think this video conflates ideas with scams, because I don't see anything wrong with personally coaching people yourself. No one else is doing (I think?) and I'd imagine people doing so would use some monetary barrier as motivation. But KaiGuy's course seems kinda disingenuous from a guy who seems to be a disingenuous guy just looking for quick money. Denni seems even worse than KaiGuy by doubling down and not apologising. Kinda sad but it is what it is. If it were all quality there wouldn't even be a problem. Anyway this is from what I have gathered. Idk if there's something missing or whatever. I just hope people become better.
i can confirm the stereotype except 1.not being involved (i play lite but watch a lot of gd) 2.playing the eaarly levels (i've played multiple times but my most recent download i skipped to the tower than the far levels than the easy levels (less than harder is easy) )
In my opinion, wpopoff is better, he took less attempts to beat all the levels that zoink beat, and he has done the hardest thing anyone has ever done, beating slaughterhouse 3x in a row
Honestly, in my opinion KaiGuy is on the right path in life. He wants money because he wants a good life, why do people hate that? Why do people hate someone for trying not to be a loser in life? He makes over $20,000 every month, has a girlfriend, has good physical and mental health and his parents don't have to work anymore because he's grinding for success. Meanwhile, the people hating on him are just losers who spend all day on Twitter and Discord e-dating and wasting time (which is why most of them are depressed and have bad mental health). Kai has pretty much retired from RU-vid to focus on online sales now, and he's making thousands of dollars every month. He's even appeared on multiple podcasts, which you can find if you search his name. People shouldn't hate someone for trying to be successful, especially when those people don't even seem to care about living a good life themselves. If they want to spend 8 hours a day playing Geometry Dash to grind useless numbers like list points or demons, that's their choice, but let's be real, that’s just being a loser. All those numbers they grind on GD won’t help them in adulthood at all, you can’t say you beat Bloodbath on your summary, for example. Maybe one day they'll realize KaiGuy was on the right path. People won’t live and breathe Geometry Dash for the rest of their lives. Sunix was once the best player of all time, but in The Dasher Podcast #19, he mentioned that he just stopped gaming and now has a regular job. No one in real life cares about the amazing things he accomplished in GD. Now, imagine if instead of spending all that time on GD, he had focused on becoming rich like KaiGuy did? He would probably have a much better life now. There’s nothing wrong with working a regular job btw, I'm just saying it’s much better to be your own boss and be rich. However, I do agree that trying to sell a course like that to children is quite dumb. Even though he gets millions of views, his organic traffic is mostly 9-year-olds who barely even play Geometry Dash. His VSL videos are well-produced, but they were targeted at kids with no buying power, which obviously resulted in poor course sales. But it’s fine, he learned that and pretty much retired from Geometry Dash. As I mentioned earlier, he’s now focusing on online sales, specifically RU-vid algorithm strategies and online sales courses. Great video!
This comment makes the dangerous assumption that personal values can never be as inherently important as financial success. I mean, you're right, the success in financial space is more valuable to people everywhere, but that's because of it can never not be valuable. However, that doesn't mean it is a be all. You can have all the money in the world and still live an unfulfilling life. I'd 100% respect the one who grinds video games for great achievements than the one who spends on his money on soulless women, drinking poison and materialistic nonsense. It's all a matter of balancing things. Become valuable to the masses as well as enjoying the only life you live. Enjoy your day.
I think the 3 key factors of seeing who the best player is... 1: Attempt count: this is an obvious factor, as someone who beats hard demons with hundreds of thousands of attempts or even millions would not be as good as someone with fewer attempts. For example, if someone had 30k attempts on Tidal Wave and another had 200k, then the 30k person most likely would be better. 2: Ratio of demon type (what I mean is the ratio of demons in extended, main, and legacy lists.) This just makes sense as someone who beats Bloodbath (which is legacy) should not be as good as someone who has beaten a level in the main list (e.g Silent Clubstep) 3: Demon list points: This one is just a no-brainer. Unless their demon list points come from 300 legacy list demons, most of the time you won't be having people with a few thousand points from something along those lines, as demons like that usually yield fewer points.
