Editing Knobbelboy (section)

===Evolving as a skilled player===
knobbelboy continued to grow as a player, as on 27 May 2016, he beat his first Extreme Demon, [[The Hell Factory]]. This achievement took him over 24,000 attempts and became his official 100th Demon.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6ztlqX3wSw&t=320s</ref> Three months later, on 14 June 2016, knobbelboy completed another Extreme Demon, Old Cataclysm.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3h_vswVcnvY</ref> He then beat New [[Cataclysm]] eight days later on 22 June 2016. However, knobbelboy noted that he beat the New Cataclysm a few days before he beat the old version but did not record.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEHw7A6bl5c</ref>

On 29 June 2016, knobbelboy entered [[Viprin|Viprin's]] Creator Contest 7 for a part in [[Yatagarasu]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q20MpdThfsY</ref> He did not win (as AbstractDark won instead).<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkXwFnGumD4</ref> However, on 16 July 2016, knobbelboy completed Bloodbath, at that time, the hardest Demon.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IapCZtxIpxk</ref> This achievement had taken knobbelboy over 30,000 attempts and, after this, knobbelboy became recognised as one of the best players in the game.

For the rest of 2016, knobbelboy did not beat many more Extreme Demons and primarily worked on upcoming building and verification projects. One of the most anticipated projects was Bloodlust, a remake of Bloodbath. Due to the overwhelming requests, knobbelboy released his first progress video of 65-92%. Even though this was not much, this showed that knobbelboy was practising occasionally.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvbYps-8Eso</ref> Another project knobbelboy was participating in was Fusion Z, another mega-collaboration hosted by [[Manix648]]. knobbelboy showcased his part on 11 October 2016.<ref name="Fusion Z part" />

On 6 November 2016, knobbelboy made progress on another Extreme Demon, Athanatos. He achieved a record of 58%, a little yet quick progress.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fb6TmY2FYPI</ref> One month later, on 17 December 2016, just before the release of [[Update 2.1]], knobbelboy showcased his part for Subterranean Animism, a mega-collaboration hosted by [[EricVanWilderman]].<ref name="Subterranean Animism part" />

On 3 January 2017, knobbelboy verified a highly anticipated Extreme Demon by Team N2, Artificial Ideology. It had taken him about 14,000 attempts to verify, and knobbelboy continued to get more popular thanks to his achievements and creating skills.<ref name="AI verification" />

Almost two months later, on 2 March 2017, knobbelboy started practising Bloodlust more actively on stream, achieving a record of 68% and making it to the extension.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGV6jZoya6E</ref> However, the next day, knobbelboy got 'sidetracked' again, releasing his first preview of God Eater, a very object-heavy level estimated to have over 400,000 objects.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGLGxgVra18</ref> Even though this video did not receive much popularity, the second preview blew up around the community, earning God Eater the unofficial title of the 'Best Geometry Dash Level', receiving 100,000 views within a month and eventually reaching over 500,000 views.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtCwQ1nAhOY</ref>

A month later, on 25 April 2017, knobbelboy made massive progress on Bloodlust and started actively practising it again, achieving a run of 18-85%.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIn-Emw2GoI</ref> A week and a half later, on 6 June 2016, knobbelboy made another massive breakthrough on Bloodlust, 76%.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgVkw_IicBo</ref> However, three days later, on 9 June 2016, knobbelboy achieved one of the worst fails in Geometry Dash history at the time, Bloodlust 98%.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v==9YVaxTwKZEo</ref> This fail demotivated him to keep playing the level, causing him to take a break for quite a while. There was no activity from him for a month and a half.
