ToshDeluxe (Toshey in-game) is a skilled Dutch player. He has a large presence on YouTube from his numerous recordings of Demon levels and his first recordings of some impossible Demons, including Silent Circles, Silent Processing, Sonic Wave v2, Theory of Silent, Old Slaughterhouse, and many more. These videos would lead into the 'Impossible Series', which consists of gameplay videos of various impossible levels, using noclip and speed hacks (formerly start positions, cuts, auto, and practice mode). He has also started a series called 'Memories Series', where he plays levels from previous updates and more obscure levels.
History
[edit | edit source]ToshDeluxe initially joined YouTube on 16 November 2013. His first video was an official channel intro used to launch his channel, and he used it throughout most of his career during Update 1.9.[1]
After that, he first came in contact with Geometry Dash when he beat the first six levels on 8 June 2014, about half a year after it came out.[2]
Six months later, on 12 December 2014, ToshDeluxe beat Blast Processing, his first 'official' Geometry Dash video, after doing a gameplay video of it.[3] Afterwards, he became a small-time Geometry Dash channel, creating countless videos of random 1.9 levels. However, when he uploaded a practice-mode montage of Sakupen Hell with cuts, it quickly went viral, garnering over 1,000 views.[4]
ToshDeluxe continued making random videos of levels and montages of unreleased levels, gaining several views from videos on Deadlocked, the new official level for Update 2.0 that RobTop had previewed. He even did a 1.9 remake video of it, which gained thousands of views and added to his fanbase.[5] ToshDeluxe followed that up by uploading another practice montage video on the old version of The Hell Factory a month after the one on Sakupen Hell, gaining even more views than the latter.[6]
On 13 August 2015, ToshDeluxe uploaded his third practice montage video for Bloodbath.[7] This quickly became his newest and most popular video, gaining over 100,000 views.
On 10 January 2016, he started a series called 'Best Levels Ever', a sarcastic series in which he plays a poorly made level as a show of appreciation for their so-called 'hard work', but he cancelled it after four instalments. It was later retooled and renamed the 'Recent Levels' series, but it got cancelled again.
On 21 January 2021, he completed Sonic Wave, making it his current hardest Demon.[8]
Conflicts
[edit | edit source]- Cheating Accusations
Several skilled players, including Technical, DiamondSplash, Sonic80, and npesta, worked together to create an exposal video about ToshDeluxe shortly after his verification of Devil Vortex on 21 April 2017. This video accused him of hacking several of his notable achievements, including verifying Devil Vortex and completing Unnerfed Paracosm Circles (thanks to discovering suspicious objects at the top of the editors for those levels). ToshDeluxe hit back with a response video a month later, claiming that most of these points were either false or were assumptions made by the list editors to manipulate the community against him.[9] The accusations are universally accepted as true by top players and list staff, suggesting it is extremely likely the levels were hacked. However, eventually, ToshDeluxe beat Devil Vortex legitimately, and since then, the drama has stopped. On 23 July 2023, zcylix revealed a pulse in one part of the wave in Tosh's verification video of the level, conclusively proving that ToshDeluxe had initially hacked the level by making some parts auto via invisible blue pads.
- NoctaFly Exposal Scandal
After ToshDeluxe accused Noctalium (formerly NoctaFly) of hacking Death Corridor, the community looked into it more. Several notable players, including Riot and Combined, including ToshDeluxe, worked together to expose NoctaFly for hacking Death Corridor and other levels. Eventually, NoctaFly confessed and changed his username to Noctalium.
Achievements
[edit | edit source]ToshDeluxe has beaten several Extreme (and hard Insane) Demons, including Devil Vortex, Artificial Ideology, Bloodbath, The Flawless, The Secret Box, and many more. His completions of some Extreme Demons have been accused of hacking.
On 29 May 2016, he beat the old version of Cataclysm, making him the 38th person to do so. He is the 24th person to beat it after Update 2.0.
On 25 November 2016, he beat Duelo Maestro by Nacho21 with Jelly on stream.
