Zodiac: Unnerfed vs Nerfed - Geometry Dash 

it fixes the transition

@@soggyboi still looks goofy asf

ikr

it makes a difference, if you go too low youll turn to cube and slide on the slope and die

@@baconmonke I'm aware it just looks silly

Actually, I did a practice run on this level once to see how hard it is, and honestly, maybe I got really lucky, but I got through it really quickly. And it didn't feel THAT much harder than your typical extreme demon. So I'm still struggling to see what makes it so hard.

@@sirusjohnson109 i hope that this is a troll

@@necreiP I mean, YES. It's significantly harder than most extremes, I just don't see what makes it top 10 in difficulty. I even got through a couple of parts in practice mode in just a few attempts (after figuring out what to do) The main thing that gets me is comparing it to Bloodlust. For me, both visually and in practice, it just doesn't seem any harder

@@sirusjohnson109 hardest check

@@necreiP it's 3 minutes long, thats why

Same with the ufo click later in his part

thats like sakupen circles tight lol no wonder it was nerfed

Its semi auto

@@Arc_VAL its semi auto now, you can see in the video that those portals weren't there in the unnerfed

@@jojo._.586 I can’t really tell if the portal is part of the nerfed or not cause they are both blue

They didn't, it's just offsync

Yup, Shock's is also a pain in the *ss

There was also random straight fly in tmn

@@Dangerous-Kobe Which part is shock's part

Oh the dual cube part

This zodiac is like top 3

I'm so glad this was nerfed. It was necessary.

I can’t see what is going on .

@@TheGreenViewer456 The red spike on the top off the roof makes it nearly a frame perfect at that part

@@PanzerPanic it’s fast and I literally can’t see much bro

which one is sam's part?

@@dudeman7229 at 1:52

his block design is like 50% blocks with hitboxes lol

I read it right at this part

@@superigg_ I don't get it

good idea

i want to see this, i know sunix and rori buffed a lot

Sounds good, but wouldn't it be a rainbow mess?

I feel like working out blending like that could be a pain

Would be too convoluted, better not. The idea sounds fine, but the execution would almost always end in a mess.

@@skyler948 Unnerfed got verified

@@skyler948oh u piss me off

@@DOROHEDOROFAN ????????

@@skyler948 You’re from Epstein island huh? 2nd circle yeah… burning but we don’t stop the trap because at the end of the day you exist in the context, in which the mind and the soul are not one but two separate entities capable of indulging in various interspecies relationships (🤢) because the truth is something only an omniscient being can grasp so why bother? Why tie your shoe when you could take the laces out? Too loose, try thicker socks. Fast forward to Year 2235 the WLR mural at the Center of Mars’s capital (DrkNock) was finally finished. The martians swiftly but eloquently prostrated themselves in front of the pulchritudinous statue. “All hail carti” the martians chanted in unison. “Oh what a sight to behold,” I thought to myself. Why it was so beautiful it almost made me jzz 🤭 but I stopped myself before anything came out… human sperm was a very popular drug among the Martian population, they would kill for it and they could smell it from a mile away. I had to be careful, I can’t let what happened last time happen again… In conclusion “WLRDS” or “Whole Lotta Red Denial Syndrome” is often linked to childhood traumas concerning exotic plants. So what happened? Did a Venus flytrap bite a sensitive area? (No diddy btw) 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 you think u all that talking on Wlr watch ur back 🤫😭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

there is litterally one spike added to the part lol?

@@bobbylmfaohi2946 no, there's 2 since the wave part is tigher with that big spike

Which part is pennutoh’s?

@@bryantofsomething5964 2:39

Wasn't zodiac when released top 2 or am I incorrect?

@@Jheodyit was top 1 at one point it was above crimson planet. Top 3 at the time was 1# zodiac, 2# crimson planet, and 3# bloodlust What I meant by potentially top 1 was potentially top 1 to this day

@poof definitely

I honestly think the unnerfed version is below Firework in difficulty. Yes, it's true. The transitions makes it much much harder, but it's not as hard as you described it to be.

​@@Naka-wc3yo Good times

and this details makes level harder in 5 times

What?

I had a stroke reading that

@@matteo964 harder than tart?

@@LINK-is3oc yeah i don't remember who but a top plauer said so 2 years ago

Unnerfed is close to AoD & silent clubstep difficulty The official rated version falls just short of being tartarus difficulty and it seems like some people think it’s easier than Kenos and even cognition (Trick and Bgram)

@D K. It's quite a bit easier lol

Look at Pennutoh's part

@@shardrygd Just a fix to chokepoints? As I said I have no clue lmao

Yes and no. It got nerfed, which fixed the level’s issues. According to speedymuffin, Zodiac was almost Abyss of Darkness/Silent Clubstep difficulty, and the whole level was way buggier and less optimised for framerates (other than 144 fps)

These are more of a "before and after" kinda things

@@tiramisu7544 yes

Quizas es porque si vas a buffear/nerfear algo no lo haces haciendo algo completamente nuevo, solo agarras una estructura y la borras o la haces menos estrecha

This is around aod difficulty probably because of random chokepoints (ex: 2:03; 2:47)

@@jojo._.586 4 months late my bad but there are also a lot of transition fixes

mi primer extreme va a ser Silent Clubstep 🥶

Zodiac is implied to be a level that originally was impossible for players not using 144hz. You can’t neccessarily see it in this video (and I don’t even know if the uploader of this video is using EndLevel’s unnerfed Zodiac version as the “unnerfed” overlay) but according to speedymuffin some of the wave and spider transitions (like 22%) used to only be possible on 144hz. Small changes like that actually add up to make EndLevel’s unnerfed Zodiac borderline silent clubstep/new aod difficulty

@@tiramisu7544 its top 2-3

@@badger8798 Top 2 AT LEAST. Have you seen the 144fps frame perfects in EndLevel’s Zodiac?

@@tiramisu7544 yeah i know, i literally said that it was either top 3 or top 2

why is this funny

Lmao

Because nobody could beat something harder than firework and maybe aod back then lmao

Unnerfed was verified like some days ago and its at least top 10 lol

It’s very nerfed lmao, these unnerfed parts make it so inconsistent

почему

@@LeTim ну ты смотри, если красного оттенка не видно, то движение в двух уровнях одинаковы, если красный оттенок появляется и немного отдвигается, то движение изменилось!

движение немного разное из-за смещенных препятствий и из-за чуть отличающихся макросов для обоих версий

almost every level gets small changes from the person verifying it, it means levels have better gameplay and less bugs and annoying things

The transition is broken for framerates that are multiples of 60. On Endlevel’s Zodiac, you have to be on 144fps for 22% or else you automatically crash.

@@tiramisu7544 thats so random wtf

@@tiramisu7544 I played it on 144 fps and I still crash

@@shadowduds 22% is one of those timings where you have to be really specific in previous inputs, or where you place your start pos. As said, it’s broken on framerates that are multiples of 60. And on 144 it’s buggy as well and a huge choke point as a result. It’s not your fault dw. Unnerfed Zodiac is just unoptimised really

топ 4

Yeah unnerfed version is around aod difficulty

Harder​@@yooo1153

@@IkukGDhe said it fixes lucky based transition

@@hewenty Ok thank you

i'm from the now and it was verified like a month or so ago

It's because these showcases don't literally show the nerfes of the level. Rather, they show the original version compared to the rebalanced one (that usually contains nerfs overall, but might have little buffs or fixes)

progress check?

In keres i did 40-47%, and on zodiac 13%

Mr. Worldwide

A Nerf is to make a level easier, unnerfed means it’s the original difficulty.

Im gonna be honest, you are wrong. Chokepoints make it very hard to tell if you dont actually beat it.

@@nebnoobgeometrydash1524 Yh the length and unbalance makes it a lot harder but honestly I don't think it's harder than things like Kenos

@@ZKTHE1STT the reason its harder isnt that the raw gameplay is harder. Its above kenos because it has more/worse chokepoints and most of said chokepoints are much further in the level than kenos, which is extremely carried by first and 2nd wave which are very early in the level.

@@nebnoobgeometrydash1524 yh that's true. Maybe I just suck at wave

​@@nebnoobgeometrydash1524Congratulations buddy

the nerfs are much bigger than they look

play it it feels about 3 times harder then actual zodiac especially tmn and shock

Currently, Zodiac is barely in the top 50 This old version of Zodiac is allegedly comparable to literal Acheron in terms of difficulty Pretty big difference imo
