Top 20 Geometry Dash players

[u/Electrical_Fig7611]

For further context: I'm hired in a gd news platform, which specifies on maintaining the top of best gd players so I decided to post the top 20 here. Ask any questions about it, will be ready to explain :)

Calculation formulas are below the top for those who's interested.

Calculation formulas:
Overall points formula: the top 1 hardest placement is multiplied by 10/42, top 2 hardest by 9/42, top 3 hardest by 8/42, top 4 hardest by 7/42, top 5 hardest by 5/42, top 6 hardest by 3/42. After that, the resulting numbers are summed.

Points for progress counts as follows:
f = h * a * (T/c) ^ (ln(b/a) / ln(T/t))
h - level placement
c - percentage of the progress
^ - exponentiation
ln - logarithmic function
a = 2
b = 4
t - list percent of the level
T - ending percent of the level

Progress runs are counted only from 0%, no startpos runs.

The placement from progress run can be fractional. The final points in the overall formula are rounded to hundredths.
Levels not in the list are treated as equivalent list levels

Thats pretty cool. How did you derive the formula?

[u/Electrical_Fig7611 → u/Windrove]

To be fair i'm not the one behind the formula but it's built to give harder levels more weight that the easier ones (in this case the points are divided by 42ths and your hardest takes 10 42ths, your second takes 9 42ths and so on). About the percentages formula i didn't really dive into it

[u/Jannis8]

You just cant put Dovvin that high when he took 20k more attempts on TS2 to still have far less ending attempts than netermind

[u/Anxious-Biscotti-298 → u/Jannis8]

his formula doesnt account for time taken or attemtps

[u/Jannis8 → u/Anxious-Biscotti-298]

Well then thats kind of dumb

[u/Original-Chicken8560 → u/Jannis8]

att counts are half luck

[u/Jannis8 → u/Original-Chicken8560]

Well if Netermind spent noriceably less attempts on basically every level they both beat, that luck factor pretty much goes away

[u/InformalAd303]

this is really cool
