On 17 January, Technical | On 17 January, Technical made a video ranking every Extreme Demon he has completed so far in 2025 and before, totalling 345 levels, with Deep Bass scoring the worst at 1.05 points and Quaoar scoring the best at 9.63 points. On 13 April, he completed Delta after 14,887 attempts, with a worst fail of 94%, and 10 streams.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hdZYgjrUH8</ref> Technical plans to reach 400 Extreme Demons this year. However, once he reaches 500 Extreme Demons, he wants to redo his entire Extreme Demon ranking spreadsheet.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqHV0eLi0P0</ref> | ||
Technical | Technical is currently trying to complete [[Deimos (ItsHybrid)|Deimos]] by ItsHybrid, a Top 35 level. On 20 May 2026, he managed to fluke from 38% to 89%, which is one of the most impressive flukes in the game's history.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwIgomqEwyQ</ref> In a few days, he would quickly get back to his fluke, achieving 86% on 30 May.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVzjhlL93xA</ref> He finally got a new best of 91% on 1 July.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6oP9OExm5Q</ref> | ||
Technical is going to a meet-up with his friend group of 11 people at a beach house. Ironically, Zodiac is likely to fall off the Demonlist during that time. All in all, Technical feels very weird knowing that a level that was once thought to be the peak of Geometry Dash skill is now falling off. Technical explains that he might never feel like this again, as if the level, himself and his legacy are drifting off, as Zodiac will not receive too much attention once it is out of the Top 150 (similarly to [[Cognition]], [[Renevant]], [[Arctic Lights]], and more). | |||

;kowareta rating drama | |||
On 31 December 2018, Gablor verified the Extreme Demon level [[kowareta]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxWBFaZYHPM</ref> It would have been placed at #2 if it were rated, as it was considered harder than Plasma Pulse Finale and Spacial Rend, which at the time were contesting for the placement of the second hardest Demon. On 23 August 2019, it finally got featured and placed at #6 on the Demonlist. Shortly after, Technical addressed his distaste for the level and his opinion that it was not rate-worthy, leading fans of his to lash out against Gablor.

On 23 August 2019, it finally got featured and placed at #6 on the Demonlist. Shortly after, Technical addressed his distaste for the level and his opinion that it was not rate-worthy, leading fans of his to lash out against Gablor. This event sparked so much controversy that it was unrated by RobTop only nine hours after its release and removed from the Demonlist. Once Gablor addressed this drama, people started criticising Technical for his role, and a community post addressed it. On 24 August 2019, it was re-rated and re-added to the list, though this time only as a star rating. Both parties have retracted since. | ||
