==History==
===Early career===
TrusTa's first video was a very short gameplay video of [[Noobas]]'s hack verified [[Sakupen Hell]] on 8 June 2015,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEnf1UXCv9w</ref> this was before his actual verification project on Sakupen Hell later on. He made a preview of Apocalyptic along with Randomus on 17 August 2015<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-B02gfFsXA</ref> followed by completing Fear Me, a 77% run on [[8o]] on 24 August 2015,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEL3u4lAZ-s</ref> and a 26% run on [[Bloodbath]] as the notable hardest level at the time and his first progress video on the level as well on 25 October 2015.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYF2bIgUPEE</ref>

After a 58% run on Apocalyptic on 8 November 2015,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqewGQEQWP8</ref> he'd later beat Breakthrough by Hinds on 11 January 2016 followed by two runs on [[Red World]] in 42%<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FonhKy2K8es</ref> and 51%,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxcAEdlBeWw</ref> the near-impossible level at the time. After the verification on Apocalyptic on 17 January 2016,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1X55wfmCtI</ref> he achieved 59% on Red World on the same day,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcedDuMpd9I</ref> followed by notable level completions of [[Windy Landscape]], [[Acropolis]] and Forsaken Neon. TrusTa later achieved 68% on Red World on 19 February 2016<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zn2Labrnxbw</ref> followed by the second progress video in Bloodbath in a 31% run combined with his first progress video on [[ICE Carbon Diablo X]] in 40% on 9 March 2016.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Na20FdqSdOU</ref> Later on 15 March 2016, he achieved 57% on ICE Carbon Diablo X,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppaIijvsaKQ</ref> followed by a 71% run on the old version of [[Cataclysm]] on 23 March 2016<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGrk8pF5bGw</ref> and a notable completion of [[Poltergeist]] 9 April 2016.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLA9QPqL7do</ref>

On 16 April 2016, TrusTa later achieved a run of 42-74% on Bloodbath,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcSFLBstwZ4</ref> followed by one of the worst fails on his channel at 82% on Cataclysm.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0JinHStczQ</ref> Later on, he achieved a run of 66% on the older version of [[The Hell Factory]]<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XHvQ6mqpVA</ref> followed by a notable completion of Spacelocked on 6 May 2016 and another one of his worst fails at 81% on the older version of The Hell Factory on 8 May 2016.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K939BId2p_c</ref>

===Rise===
====Pre-Bloodbath completion====
TrusTa beat [[Necropolis]] on 15 May 2016,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EfQ_ro_r_c</ref> however, he completed Cataclysm four days later on 19 May 2016.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGj2p9S-rEo</ref> He describes this as his last goal along with Acropolis and Necropolis, however, he'll complete even harder Extreme Demons later on; before that, TrusTa achieved 48% on 20 May 2016<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MSrprVet_4</ref> and 50% on Bloodbath as well as a run of 42-100% from Crack's part on the next day on 21 May 2016,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ou46fP1g6ds</ref> he then beat 8o after the 77% run hiatus on the next day on 22 May 2016<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS3fNya0wHU</ref> and [[UltraSonic]] on 25 May 2016.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByqqRTPDudI</ref>

Later on, he beat the newer version of Cataclysm on 27 May 2016,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnmMXzMDMAU</ref> followed by completing [[The Ultimate Phase]] three days later on 30 May 2016,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpLaSyEVT3w</ref> a 30% run of [[Sonic Wave]] during its verification race period on 2 June 2016,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Okzo1QNVYs</ref> and a 72% fail on Bloodbath four days later on 6 June 2016<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Olh9GRBNl_o</ref> followed by one of his worst fails on his channel being a 95% fail on Red World on the same day;<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZAeUs6FTcA</ref> after that, TrusTa beat a few notable Insane Demons in Crimson Clutter on 8 June 2016<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdAgdSykyok</ref> and Night Terrors three days later on 11 June 2016,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07f-h-izscc</ref> as well as creating his team in OTG (Only The Greatest) on 16 June 2016.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68j6Y2KHCD0</ref>

====Post-Bloodbath completion====
TrusTa crashed at 83% on Bloodbath on 17 June 2016,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgQOBpcQrCw</ref> however, he later beat Bloodbath in 13,722 attempts on 18 June 2016;<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfEe3VkjxKA</ref> this was once the hardest level at the time as he was the eighth victor of Bloodbath. This victory gained him many subscribers and as much popularity as possible later on. After the infamous Bloodbath, he beat ICE Carbon Diablo X on 21 June 2016 after three months and two fails at 95% and 96% respectively,
<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qjByu6i8cI</ref> followed by two runs at 13-32% and 61-100% on a copy of the old version of [[Yatagarasu]] on the next day on 22 June 2016.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRR9aQogmZk</ref> Later, on 1 July 2016, he verified [[The Flawless]] as his first-ever verification;<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHOCE37dP2A</ref> however, on the next day, he was the first victor of Red World Rebirth on 2 July 2016 after his 'The Flawless' verification.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kESnCmF0Rp4</ref>

The two runs on his copy of the old version of Yatagarasu were achieved before a more difficult version of the level that he would eventually become the verifier for arose.

===Sakupen Hell verification===
After TrusTa reached 1,000 subscribers on YouTube on the same day,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWWcjA4IQf4</ref> he beat [[Nine Circles]] on mobile after his vacation on 29 July 2016,
<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=td-2kxhZK3w</ref> and he announced to verify Sakupen Hell after both [[Riot]] and TigerXero dropped it; this level was widely considered impossible beforehand as Noobas hack-verified the original version. However, as for TrusTa, he replaced the infamous mini-wave spam part with an upside-down mini-ship straight-fly segment at the end. On 31 July 2016, two days after his vacation, he achieved great progress on the level with a 37% run,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmnfal2N53w</ref> as well as a 72% run two days later on 2 August 2016.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=altWA-gAdjw</ref> Progress slowed down as he achieved 82% as his worst fail on the level on 8 August 2016<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtL_ayfNKPI</ref> before verifying Sakupen Hell on 14 August 2016 with 22,000+ attempts and was rated and placed at the #1 spot immediately.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svyOjwLCErg</ref>

During his Sakupen Hell verification, he'd also beat Deadly ClubStep
<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ic3Xo38W03s</ref> and verified Multiclysm on 6 August and 21 August 2016, respectively.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yj56WlaSQu0</ref> After his Sakupen Hell verification, he made a shoutout to SebQuero11 on 17 August 2016 for being the first to beat Multiclysm.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8vuKvcGP6s</ref>

===Yatagarasu verification===
On 2 September 2016, TrusTa announced to verify Yatagarasu,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E402KJ15uqY</ref> It was known as one of the most hyped Extreme Demons at the time and as well as being the hardest level at the time; this was after [[Surv]] dropped the level due to him ragequitting deleting most of [[Jeyzor]]'s part. Before his actual verification process, he made practice runs on his copy of the old version of Yatagarasu on 4 April 2016<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89mmhSItvKs</ref> and, with his two said runs beforehand, he also said that he may nerf the level to make it slightly easier.

Progress on this level was steady for him as he achieved a 28% run as his actual first progress on the level on 4 September 2016<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-R_vLBRakg</ref> followed by a 38% run on the next day on 5 September 2016<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04p9SZb-7fA</ref> before reaching 10,000 subscribers on YouTube on 6 September 2016.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZ_LwqdzXh4</ref> On 7 September 2016, he made a 62-100% run from Hinds' part<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSUDcH6u1Uw</ref> followed by a 57% run three days later on 10 September 2016<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8AORbaAuqQ</ref> before his 10,000 subscribers QnA video on 22 September 2016,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLrqpXcoTYc</ref> he also became a Twitch Partner as well as having 5,000+ in-game stars on 1 October 2016.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3c8FRVPzlU</ref> However, after his 57% fail, he ended up slightly nerfing and re-balancing the level to make it more consistent; this change made his viewers unsatisfied.

Progress on Yatagarasu was slowed down as TrusTa focused on verifying Sonic Wave since 2 June 2016 by achieving two runs on the level of 43% and 42-100% on 9 October 2016.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ph9r9DuDjtw</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_t-Ohq5BTU</ref> After that, he returned to Yatagarasu and achieved a run of 21-87% from [[weoweoteo]] to [[FunnyGame]] on 11 October 2016<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_NZdwUADMg</ref> and a 63% run at the first section on Hinds' part on the next day on 12 October 2016.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1xTqWp4sSc</ref> On 19 October 2016, TrusTa reached 20,000 subscribers, did a room tour for his viewers and gave shoutouts to certain viewers.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6Q9TTXqRHU</ref> He also completed Bloodbath a second time, using the alternate '[[Michigun]] route' at that level with his first try in ~400 attempts on 23 October 2016,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kicwW1_V5NY</ref> and later on he beat Retention on 29 October 2016.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ry1B1N04DIU</ref> On 1 November 2016, he made a shoutout to Combined as being one of the best players in the 2.0 period<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyFbBCxw-m8</ref> and did two progress runs on the Former Top 1 hack-verified level in [[Athanatos]] on 5 November 2016 in 32% and 54% runs.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHl9HF2Urqk</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJO5iBXrsbQ</ref>

After his long absence on Yatagarasu's verification, he achieved a 36-100% run from COSINE's part<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSHq3iXZsog</ref> followed by a 73% run.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEj-ddX80x0</ref> Both videos were reuploaded on 6 January 2017 because TrusTa accidentally deleted both videos beforehand. On 7 January 2017, TrusTa achieved his worst fail on the level with being 95%.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl8Vi1zMH6U</ref> This was one of the worst fails in the game, along with Mefewe's 98% fail on Sonic Wave; however, after his 95% fail, he ended up nerfing the level again, especially Michigun and Funnygame's parts. He reached 30,000 subscribers with his Blast Furnace completion on 10 January 2017.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IM_allOS8zo</ref> Finally, after 50,000+ attempts, four months, and many fails, TrusTa verified Yatagarasu on 13 January 2017.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgGKx0pk_wo</ref> With this beast of the level verified, following Surv's first victor on Yatagarasu, RobTop finally released the 2.1 update after 16 months since 2.0 (a year and four months or 509 days). It is also currently his most viewed video on his channel.

===2.1 era===
After TrusTa's Yatagarasu verification, he achieved 54% on Sonic Wave on 22 January 2017,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPuNXu7HCAc</ref> as well as beating Combo Breaker by [[ZenthicAlpha]] as his 200th Demon four days later on 26 January 2017.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOR5SZELm5Q</ref> TrusTa proceeded to beat more Extreme Demons later on as he beat [[A Bizarre Phantasm]] on 29 January 2017,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWU79sqT_9I</ref> and after he achieved a 57-100% run on Athanatos at the same day,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gc3Ab6LMdqw</ref> he later beat Athanatos on the next day on 30 January 2017 after fluking from 65%.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVh2BEuVVYI</ref>

TrusTa used to be the verifier of [[Blade of Justice]] after Dual KiKi dropped because of stress and schoolwork. TrusTa was also the third verifier of the level after Quantum and DuaL Kiki. On 1 February 2017, he achieved a run of 23%,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIkNJIjXCfQ</ref> he also did two runs of 64-89% and 73-100% a day later on 2 February 2017,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4NVseNtKFo</ref> TrusTa then did a run of 49-93% on 6 February 2017<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZuf33X8IIw</ref> and the last run on the level in 40% at the same day<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdSm4TSQ7kU</ref> before being passed to [[Sunix]] on 15 February 2017 due to said reason on the video.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7isDwmqxV4</ref> After Blade of Justice, he later beat The Hell Factory on 21 February 2017<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K4UtB9LJpE</ref> and as well getting a 28-100% run on Sonic Wave five days later on 26 February 2017.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8UpN5LNnr0</ref>
