[@cyphenec512]

Soo true, im gonna use this as a quote

[@UG_GD]

I 100% agree with that quote in every way possible. That's why I focus way more on gameplay than decoration. Who tf cares if the level doesn't have good decoration?

[@fieryflame1299]

Same, I still will take deco as a subject on whether are level is good or not, but gameplay is far more important. Though I will say I won't like the game as much if every level was a layout so deco is still somewhat important imo

[@zingerx2554]

Thing is that not every level will be played by everyone, and I'm sure that most demons have been watched more than they have been played, making deco more crucial most of the audience. Deco also defines a level's memorability.

[@UG_GD]

@@zingerx2554 You do realize that deco defining how memorable a level is means that you can make the deco so bad in a level that it'll become memorable.

[@patriotseangd]

Honestly the Riot not being the best player reply is somewhat true. There’s a very high chance Krmal was better than Riot since he verified Phobos on 60hz without spending that many more attempts than it took Riot to beat Bloodbath but you can’t be sure because the skillset back then was more akward unbalanced gp based than timing or ship based which is why Bloodbath was considered harder than Phobos.

[@pissingspeedrun]

Thinking about it though Phobos is more accessible on 60hz though I still think it’s harder, the gameplay is more forgiving on lower refresh rate than monke fly and tight ball timings constantly

[@pissingspeedrun]

But yes krmal was really ahead of his time and would’ve been known as the best player. People have these phases where a new hardest comes out and they refuse anything new to come out can be harder (think bloodbath, AA, sonic wave, zodiac and sakupen circles) and he’s a victim of that since Phobos was under bloodbath for multiple years

@@sgrp2706 people trashed on bloodlust and it’s difficulty because of the huge jump knobbelboy was making and how people like noctafly were unknowingly hacking it and calling it easy, I think bloodlust should be upped some spots personally but my hardest demons before I left the community was a dead level called bloodfall that I verified a couple years after the hype died down and betrayal of fate, as well as a little bit of sonic wave and bloodbath progress, so I can’t really talk much on the matter

[@sStyleMo]

I think the comment was more referring to Riot in 2015, not 2016 when KrmaL starting getting huge. Riot is deemed unquestionably the #1 player of the 1.9 era because everyone who rivaled him were outed as cheaters later on leaving only him with his crazy feats for the time. But considering he was basically the only 144hz player back then, he kinda had his own cheat even if it was completely legal. He had a huge advantage on the competition and if more players had 144hz monitors back then he would've been more rivaled. You can still make the argument no 60hz player matched his skill when adjusted for monitor difference though since beating BB on 144 could be viewed as better than Cata on 60.

And the thing is, is that even if Acu dropped to insane demon, it’s not like it’s the hardest insane demon either. In fact, it’s probably in between hard insane demons and easy insane demons in difficulty. What I think is that really easy extreme demons should be dropped to insane demons, so that people can beat extreme demons that people consider to be extreme demons. I think that the first extreme demon that people should beat should be in between extreme demons and slightly easy extreme demons.

@@marcxworld5708 Sorry, I think I didn't elaborate enough with what I said earlier, I kinda just rambled on and on but let me explain these two things: 1. What I meant with, "hard for the sake of being hard", is that nowadays a lot of really hard levels use the same generic things to make the level hard without using something original. Straight fly or wave spam are such examples of this. Difficulty isn't just about spam or really tight spaces, it's about reaction time and knowing what to do at the right time. Btw I'm not saying all top 1's use these things to make their levels harder, I'm just saying the majority of them use it just to make it seem harder than it really is. 2.I never said people don't make lower difficulty levels anymore, not at all. What I meant was that lower difficulty levels being are not as popular anymore and are left unknown, you really don't see these types of levels get recognition as much as demons do. Sure these levels do get popular sometimes if made by a decent and recognized creator, but have you seen an easy, normal, or hard level get showcased recently or even at all? Again, I'm not saying they don't get popular, just saying that these levels are few and far between.

[@marcxworld5708]

@@sunny15300 I have seen a recent easy level showcased, but the reason why most aren't shown is prob cause they're mid xDlordlol. Also I agree with number 1

[@sunny15300]

@@marcxworld5708 What constitutes a lower difficulty level as "mid" exactly? Surely it can't be the difficulty or gameplay for obvious reasons. I mean, yeah, sometimes easier levels have less than stellar gameplay, but the creativity and thought put into the level is what makes up for it, which is something that some extreme demon levels can't really say. Does mid refer to their repetitive and generic designs? I mean I could argue the same about demons, since, you know, that's kinda what I was going for to begin with. I mean damn, name a few genuinely good and groundbreaking "top 1" extreme demons that are original and have new mechanics that actually make the level hard. Yeah I know there are some actually good ones out there, but now try to mention easier levels like this and I guarantee you'll find a lot more of them.

[@marcxworld5708]

@@sunny15300 mid means not bad not good, dunno why that was hard to figure out. Anyway, I mean there are a LOT more generic 3 stars that re use the exact same gp then proceed to guide you along with complete care. Also it's pretty easy to note extreme demons but top 1's not so much lol, if I had one to list as groundbreaking I'd pick bloodbath or smth idk

[@Creeper7YT]

Decoration is important in some point. If doesn't interfere in the view of the main level it's ok. Example: background Jaja soy español

For the “you’re not unlucky, you’re probably just bad” i died at 90% on future funk two times in a row. Not twice in total, nor twice in the same session, literally just twice in a row.

[@speedyduckling]

i 100% agree with gameplay being more important than deco. i seriously think all of the main levels are better than every single online level because they have great gameplay, i don't know how robtop did it but the main levels are amazing.

[@lavatrex]

I agree but them being better than ALL online levels is maybe a stretch

[@speedyduckling]

@@lavatrex yeah i guess theres some good gp online levels but very little of them are as good as the robtop levels

[@17thstellation]

Deadlocked would be rated harder if not for the first wave and dual wave, Geometrical Dominator has that shitty unreadable block section and like 900 bugs, all the 1.0 levels play the exact same... The Robtop levels are not that good.

[@lool8421]

honestly i don't really care about decor, don't even care how it looks, but it's more about the experience it gives and the experience is related to decor because it gives a theme to the level, but that's still not everything, there's still sync, flow, balance and other stuff that affect it if a level just feels bland like everything else, what's even the point?

[@someone-cs1ix]

I don't have Twitter, so here's mine: the game was actually better before its release on steam and the release of version 1.9 (they were about a month apart) because the playing field was more level and anyone who had the skill could beat the hardest levels without being held back by technological limitations

[@epictoast]

I actually agree with that. It's annoying that I can't beat difficult levels or play bepis because I don't have a computer.

[@Symmetry_Obsessed_Freak]

(Satire) Thinking Space is undoubtedly the best level to ever be rated. It has a unique take on gameplay (look at the 68 wave), charming decoration, and a great song on top of that. We should all praise Thinking Space, because one day we’re gonna look back, and feel nostalgic for a level people thought was shit, but was actually in all reality a revolution in this game.

[@visiblerat]

ok i actually kind of agree with this though (not the last sentence or the first sentence)

[@Sh4dowsn4il]

heres some I made that will make people mad that I agree with -Magmatic Sanctuary is a good level -Insanes aren't failed demons -Levels that flash a random affect in front of your face every 0.1 seconds just to get rated are annoying -double white default icons and awful texture packs that just add lines to your icons are GROSS!
