Do old FNF mods hold up in 2024? (Going back and reviewing old Friday night funkin' mods) 

If you want to join my discord its discord.gg/a2RdzekTQ3 Its not much right now but it will be when i get the time

"Tight bars little man" That alone shook the community for like a year

According to FNF lore. Boyfriend and girlfriend are literally too stupid to realize how much danger they're in until the last possible moments.

A fun fact that makes me like even more Zavodila. Ruv, the guy himself, it’s singing with the microphone disconnected, and still makes the whole church shake

One of the the things i remember really liking about Smoke Em Out Struggle was that, in the midst of other popular mods like Tricky and Whitty, mods that sounded good but were ball-bustingly hard (for the time), SEOS showed that you don't need crazy fast hard songs to be a good mod, just some solid jams and compelling characters

The epileptic seizures are part of the Sunday experience

I remember playing the Tricky mod for the first time almost three years ago and being flabbergasted by the cutscenes. It’s weird coming back to the game and seeing all of these huge mods wayyy larger than the original game. It is tiring seeing all of the creepypasta mods nowadays though.

Went to an anime con after this game came out and there was a family who had a 7-10 year old cosplaying as “boyfriend” with a mic, red cap, and blue hair. They even has game’s music playing on a speaker. Best cosplay I saw that year. Snagged a pic before I left

I gotta say, looking back at the old "15 attempt songs" like ballistic or tricky, and then looking at the mods of today. Man. We didn't know how good we had it back in the good old days. They look like child's play now. At least they aren't considered "easy" still. Also nostalgia hits like a truck.

Personally I think what makes these kind of fnf mods better than the ones we have today is that it had original characters like whitty and tabi, these were the simpler times that had a valence of identity, good music and art style to the individual mods. Nowadays it’s just boring and repetitive exe/creepypasta mods with sonic being used so many times. I’m sick of it Edit: hey cool 1k likes thanks guys

God, even now, that entire “HAAAANNNKKK!” section in Expurgation is still one of the best moments in FnF

To me, older FNF mods will always still matter. Even the ones I haven't played in the past. I literally played FNFever yesterday. It was so fun lol.

in garcello, his cigar at the bottom of the screen also changes colour

Surprised Vs. Hex isn't on here since it's a Mod I and many others remember fondly from back in the day.

I think a lot of these mods aged well. I'd still listen to em. And some classics even got an upgrade. I can listen to 2023 Foolhardy all freaking day. I jammed out to Foolhardy in 2021 after all. I saw the Regular Show meme on repeat.

Watching and listening to old mod in 2024 At this time, Shaggy and Matt: are we a joke for you?!

this is a throwback. i remember struggling with crappy chart and weird mod concepts, but thats what gave the game character. now we have full ass games built into the mods. im glad the game is still around, and hopefully the full ass game gets finished soon.

These mods are essentially the Founding Fathers of this game

While the music may be the main attraction for these mods, The way that programmers continued to evolve the way that you played the game via mechanics was incredible. The typing mechanic in Monochrome stunned me, and it oy git better from there. Will you be talking about the use of mechanics is old & new mods?

at this point fnf is becoming very nostalgic, especially the mods. i was extremely invested in this game for years and have been in the community ever since its initial surge in popularity. i remember just finding out about fnf because of coryxkenshin and 8 bitryan, who were big motivators to check out the game’s mods. one of the first mods i remember playing was saltys sunday night, and im pretty sure this was before tankman, when the game only went up to senpai’s week. this game is very nostalgic to me, glad you’re reviewing all of these mods.

It's crazy to think how some of these were from like 3 years ago or somethin, also these are pretty good compared to like newer mods that have ALOT of content in them, Hyped for part 2!

I miss old fnf so much cause nowadays everything kind of feels the same. Practically every cool mechanic you could think of has been used already and the songs are starting to sound the same as each other meanwhile in old fnf everything was still being discovered and it was awesome seeing the new ideas people cooked up.

Look, I know ratings are subjective and it's all about opinions but I still cannot begin to fathom who let Gavin cook on the majority of these

I remember back when Tabi's mod came out, it got a lot of hype because I'm pretty sure Genocide was one of, if not the first, songs to actually push back against your progress when the opponent was singing. That being said, Genocide from that mod and YCR from Sonic .EXE were always my favorites of this era, mainly because they were among the few that leaned more into a rock/metal sound

The best thing about the old mods was that each one had it's essence by the BF voice, as there was no official chromatic scale or not knowing how to use it, because most of them used either utau, or soundfont (which samples were mostly done in utau) or pitched samples randomly, making each sample sound strange when pitched up or down a lot, example Mike Geno BF. Now everyone uses either the official chromatic, or creates their own, but it has no iconic, now they are all mostly sampled from Week 3 with OTT and Fruity Chorus, they are all really generic and unfunny. With so many options now on how to improve and make more original chorms... Very few people take advantage of that

I don't think the older fnf mods can be rated on charting because in that time the kade engine sucked and some mods refused to let you hit all of the funny notes mainly Whitty, Tricky, and MFM had this problem edit, I vaguely remember that Sunday also had this issue, but it's less apparent, only noticeable if you play the madness cover

man what a throwback, all these mods are dear to my heart and- 28:52 wait what the fuck? Hypno's Lullaby isn't that old, it's only... _two years??_ wtf where did those two years go?

What a trip down memory lane this was Also how you gonna review the Tricky Mod without Hellclown 😭

Just gonna throw it out there, that's the Remastered Ballistic you played. The original chart was made while the creator was drunk, and it shows.

I love the detail on kapi, all his notes are pink and blue matching his ddr pad.

23:00 Fun fact: the guy behind Vs Sky also made Vs Sunday. The second and third songs of Sky's week he used Sunday's chromatic by mistake!

for as short as fnf has been a thing (around 3-4 years) it still has some sort of nostalgia for old mods. the songs are pretty decent compared to modern mods but they still have that charm of being the OGs of fnf modding.

Seeing Ruv sent me back lile 10 years. I cannot believe how long its been since these mods dropped Also with MFM I'm personally a Casanova fan

I think the quality has gone up, but the originality has gone down. Which I am fine with, since I just want more songs for my playlist.

Knowing that some of these mods had updates with revamped songs/visuals, this video puts into perspective just how much they have improved. Monochrome (Perish Mix) is absolutely fire btw

I'm so sad that everytime people hear classical music like Beethoven they think of fnaf. It's also hilarious 😂 also I have played the first Kapi song in ddr I feel like the notes might have matched the game.

I remember so well these mods when they came out, they truly were a revolution everytime a new big Mod came out; now that we're in 2024 it really shows how big FNF got in the Modding Community. 90% of these Old Mods now are a bit outdated, also are quite slow and really easy when looking at them and also had BF sounding straight up like ASS. Rare were the big ol' mods that successfully stood the test of time.

Honestly, the mods of the early FNF community and it's uprising were peak. I can't say I really enjoyed any mods released in 2023 and beyond. Most of the newer stuff I enjoy are updates and cleanups of older mods. Really says a lot about the longivity and creativity aspects of them, and how mods have changed.

I thought that this video was going to be a video essay or like a tear ranking system but this video was neet. I like how you showed gameplay with you and your friends commentating along. It was funy and great to watch. Keep up the great work

Underrated video, this has a lot of effort and was enjoyable to watch.

I like this type of video style there's not 40 things going on in the background

It kinda makes ne nervous seeing how it all used to be back then. My heart is fuzzing to the core 😢

0:22 Hey look! It’s my Blue’s Clues mod scrolling by!

I love how for every mod, one of you three has a wildly different score than the other two, like Layne thinks Ballistic fucking _rocks_ or Gavin just hates Garcello and thinks the charting in MFM is not so bad actually.

If I may suggest for part 2, try looking at some of the less popular old mods, like PomPom, Clip, Static, etc.

Tbf, Boyfriend being so chill in the face of man-made horrors is canonically due to him being to stupid and cocky to realize he's in danger.

*brings up ballistic for nostalgia purposes* *uses the remastered version made shortly before the mod's initial removal*

To me, Vs Tricky definitely pushed a mod in how it plays and what types of mechanics it can have. But Vs Sonc.exe definitely has had the greatest impact on fnf period.

hope you make a part 2 or sm, swear VS Shaggy is not talked about at all or at much when FNF was at its peak

I find it so funny that (for what I’ve seen) people consider the Tabi mod the first mod to input the poison mechanic (I think that’s what it’s called) where when the enemy sing it drains bar, but that’s far from correct as the Jester mod (one of the earliest mods in Fnf history) had the poison mechanic and yet the mod is basically barely noticed

It's really crazy how FNF has changed over the last 3 years, but still drama involving mods aside, being a source of children's entertainment for elsagate, I still think there are some pretty good mods I like personally, such as The Blueballs Incident, Mario's Madness, and Hotline 024 are examples of very good and properly made mods.

So, something I feel like a lot of people need to remember in this community is that a lot of mods were directly inspired from one another and/or require background information of what the mod was originally based off to fully get the most enjoyment out of them. Mods like Hypno’s Lullaby, or even Sonic.exe’s target audience isn’t 100% meant for those blindly coming onto the scene. What makes these mods so amazing is the passion that went behind them, and it’s even more awesome when these things people are creating were things you yourself stumbled across and are now reliving those moments from before. That’s really the art of these fan-mods!

"I think this IS the first demon he fought!" >Casually forgets Girlfriend's family are literal demons, and then there's the lemon headed monster which may or may not be a demon...

**insert angry comment about “WHY DIDNT YOU TALK ABOUT (mod name)!!!111!!” here** Jokes aside, this is a pretty good video, and it’s nice seeing these mods again in a condensed format like this. Wishing you luck with the RU-vid algorithm! 👍

I miss when the greater good eye cult was still a thing in mods. It had so much potential. I feel whitmore being cancelled kinda killed more oc mods later down the line. I always loved the idea of mods being connected to each other.

i honestly miss the simplicity of these old mods. mods now are 99% creepypasta shit, but these mods, while simple/outdated in some aspects, still have a charm to them that’s missing in recent mods imo.

Look at the bright side at least you didn't suffer through QTS termination mod

The best part about Beethoven from kapi mod is that its litterally an exact replica of an actual ddr song because kapi uses a ddr pad

nah bro the disrespect with monochrome 😭😭😭😭

Strangely nostalgic video for me. Fnf is what got me into the world of rhythm games. It's crazy to look at some of these mods and remember how I used to not be able to beat some of these songs.

"It's a song definitely made just to be hard" No, that's vs Matt from Wii Sports.

its crazy how even though the last time i heard these songs was over three years ago, i can still hum them almost perfectly - they were just that memorable

Have no clue why this was recommended to me, cause i haven't played this game in a couple years lol, but like nice video! Kinda cool to look back on silly stuff like this. The only fnf mod I have any clue about anymore is the Wii Sports one, and that's just cause I have a friend that still mods the game. He told me that a lot of the people that make the Wii Sports fnf fan mods have like super massive egos or something haha, which kinda sucks since I remember that one being my favorite.

Honestly I disagree with most of the comments, I really like how fnf is today, the songs are sometimes extremely good compared to what we had before, also I'm waiting for big mods to update like VMU, hotline 024 or indie cross (and also other mods)

I wonder if we will see Starlight Mayhem, Annie, AGOTI and The Bob mod in part 2

I do the feel the scoring was a bit generous for everything up before mid fight masses given that better mods came out as time went on, but if they were being rated as separate categories or something, then sure, good taste in fnf mods. Also, the main thing about the songs in hypnos lullaby is the mechanics (at least for the songs in the mod that have them), and it would be really cool to see v2 of this mod featured in future, and perhaps even videos for newer mods? random tangent, a few online friends and I are working on a remaster bundle of some older mods that the director wasn't proud of, not sure how long it will take but I just thought I'd mention it. some the songs in it are gonna be fire

Man i miss when fnf was popular it was so fun playing all the difficult and unique mods like these

man it hasn't even been that long and this vid made me super nostalgic... i miss the glory days of fnf. i'm not really interested in the game or its mods anymore but seeing all this old stuff was really nice

I have went away from my FNF phase cuz tbh FNF did fell off BIG TIME but Summer 2021 was when it was peak and I’m starting to go back to my FNF phase

This was a big trip down memory lane and I actually really enjoyed the video

FNF vs hex was a good mod and spread popularity.

I feel like fnf fans nowadays forget how impressive these were back when nowadays you could pretty much just mod in anything now easier and more efficiently. As for the music? While some songs obviously didn’t age as well since we have refined music tastes and all that, there’s some songs that are still in my top 10 personally (like expurgation for example.).

Underrated video I hope week 8 comes soon

i feel like old fnf holds up somehow better than a good amount of modern mods, mainly as there were less sonic and exe mods and more characters people hadnt modded into fnf at the time that were being modded into fnf, now its hard to find fun characters to mod into fnf that havent been done

I think what makes triple trouble so underwhelming in the present, is how overly glazed it was.

This video has rekindled my love of fnf and all of its mods. I appreciate and respect that. Thank you.

that ddr clip at the beginning is a WILD clip to open up on 💀iykyk, ill explain if anyone is interested

Really loved this video, Looking forward to seeing a part 2 where you mention other mods such as staving artist, agent anders, cyrix, neon, tree and others

Great video my man, hope that your channel grows bigger

the thing that set smoke em apart from other mods was that it wasnt focused on a super hard track, but rather telling a good story with a good one off character

Indie Cross, Impostor and Mario’s Madness are incredible, but you should NEVER forget the classics. Also where’s my boy Hex?

You guys are underrated. It will be fun if you guys played though fnf mods to some time to time

It'd be cool to hear some of the conversation around the rankings

Triple Trouble being 11 minutes long *is* why I like it lmao good vid tho

now although there are some REALLY good fnf mods that are more recent (vs hood: roundtable and vs allegro for example), mods definitely peaked in earlier years. luckily that just means whenever a really good mod comes out now, it become a whole lot more recognizable

Bro this video took me back to the good ol' days. Thank you. 😊

This is one of the first videos with commentary i watched without skipping, which is pretty strange in retrospect. Anyways, cool video!

Who remembers FNF but bad ?

just realized in sunday marx is a reference to fucking karl marx in the bg

Dude! I have been wanting to revisit those!!

I remember finding FNF back right before week 3 came out, like maybe a week before? (hard to believe i know lmao but its true) All of these mods definitely still hold up for the most part imo, especially not being too complicated and stuff, always nice findin' old songs from them every now and again and givin' them a good listen lol I do feel like we're in the best time in terms of content rn tho- I just recommend enjoying stuff for what it is, dont need to ruin your fun by hoppin' on social media and paying attention to drama and junk

Little small fun fact: The comopser for Kapi, PaperKitty, was and i think is still also working for Sugary Spire OST (that one Pizza Tower cool ass fangame in the works i think)

I feel like y'all also should've rated the mods gimmicks, like tricky has so many cool gimmicks that make the mod so much better and hypno has the swinging pendulum and the typing thing which some of the viewers might not know of. I also want to say thank you for this video, it reminds me of the time when i used to play this game a lot and i can't say i was bad at it. I think i remember one bright summer day getting expurgation with like 40 misses and i was so excited to tell my friends about it. I haven't played fnf in a few years so this was a good reminder of the good times i had with it back in the day.

One mod that's always stuck in the back of my mind is the Vs Mami mod. Something about the bells or chimes in the third song, plus the bonus songs are fun.

It feels weird calling these mods "old" now. Obviously 3-4 years ago isnt too long ago. Remembering when these mods came out and became popular was a such a funny transition in my life. I personally think many of these mods still holds up years later. It feels weird getting nostalgic remembering these little mods when they came out.

those mods are nostalgic, i stopped playing around 2022, i have no idea how is the community now, but was really cool, expurgation was my favorite song from any mod but that shit was impossible

I forgot hypno’s lullaby was made during 2020-2021 That mod was my favorite even during v1 and v2 just blew my mind. I really stopped being interested in FNF mid-2022 and when I decided to check in and see the new mods my biggest gripe is how they handle gimmicks. They either just shove them in because why the hell not or they spam the living daylights out of them. This mod imo did gimmicks amazingly, because while they can be difficult, they made perfect sense for the characters and they embraced how the gimmick changed the playstyle. My favorite song still is probably the first. It’s a perfect adaptation of *the* hypno creepypasta and even before they deform hypno they still make him creepy with the stances, constant swinging, occasionally using some psychic move (maybe confusion? Idk) Sorry for the long comment, I just love that mod so much. They put so much effort into it and fully respected the original creepypastas. This vid in general was a fun nostalgia ride too. Besides Hypno, the Witty (with the charting change, thank god), tricky (even better with the new version) and Sonic.exe mods still hold up really well

What an awesome trip down memory lane, i remember trying to 100% tripple trouble back when the update first came out, super surprised chaos or endless werent on here, hopefully you do a pt2 with a revisit to them (sad you all gave monochrome a 5 in terms of song i used to binge listen to it all the time 😭)

As someone who quit the FNF community in mid-2022, these bring back a lot of memories (tbh I’ve never even heard any new songs nor enjoyed their vibe as much as I did for older mods) I was a huge MFM fan and was thriving in the community until the original creator quit (I was actually crying just now because I find it to be so depressing that she’s just left the characters to be frozen forever and forgotten about) but yeah, thank you for making this video!
