How I went from ACU to LIST DEMONS in under 2 months . . .

[@AeonAir]

Solid video! I always recommend people to focus on beating a lot of levels, and slowly working up, rather than jumping because you will end up spending just as much time on the level you wanted to jump to, but you beat lots more levels in the process, and at the same time evens out your skillset way more. Quantity of completions will make you overall significantly better, and lets you learn, and beat levels faster as a result. Good stuff :)

[@amplitron]

Definitely, I was going to jump from Acu to Sonic Wave but then I realized how many skillets I would be missing out on and all the levels I wouldn't be able to enjoy as a new hardest. Thank you! You are a huge inspiration to me!

[@willo1189]

as someone who mostly plays list demons, i really like your points about playing something you enjoy and also dropping levels. There is such a stigma surrounding the idea of dropping levels and it honestly doesn't make you any worse if you drop said level. You will not lose the prior experience you had playing that level so you will always get a small skillboost from playing something even if you do not beat it. Also so many players today give levels bad enjoyment ratings when it really isnt necessary. Unless your main goal is to clear the entire list or beat something "iconic" there is no reason to play a level you simply dont enjoy. Do not rely on the opinions of others, if you enjoy the level, give it a try!

[@amplitron]

Really well said, I think this is the most important thing I've learned playing up until this point. I've also tried out levels that aren't very popular and ended up having the most fun with those.

[@oakleyprogress5695]

[@Astralaa]

Great video! In a split second I went from a beginner extreme hardest to a top 40 hardest!!

[@rascal6543]

These are wonderful tips! I'm not anywhere near beating an extreme demon, and I don't know that I ever will reach that point, but I do find my skill increasing as I play the game and a lot of these tips still apply to levels that I have played through. Sometimes, my determination to beat a level becomes more of my reason for playing than having fun. It makes me wonder I'm even playing if I'm not having fun. Practicing through levels that you actually enjoy is the better way to build skill, because then if you're still determined to beat a level that you don't enjoy, you can play it when your skill level is so much higher that it isn't as difficult.

[@amplitron]

Definitely, even tho I talked trash about Anoxysm I may go back to beat it now that it isn't as hard for me and (hopefully) won't be as annoying

[@tupanar4o]

Really really helpful and good video. The only thing I can criticise is telling people how to practice levels. I mean everyone who is starting an insane/extreme demon or something really hard in general probably knows the best way that they can practice levels because their experience. Good tips anyway for the people without much experience in to the game they can be really helpful. Other than that I pretty much agree with everything.The progression should be consistent not to big nor to small jumps that way it is much faster a lot less a lot more fun than jumping to top 10 from nine circles which quoter of the community wants to do right now.

[@palex2346]

I have like 53 on killbot and my hardest is Acu as well so yea never give up and find a level that is fun to you! my example killbot

I've been playing cataclysm for a few weeks now as my first extreme, and I just can't get past the ufo, so I considered dropping it, but decided not to due to the time I've spent on it, but now I might, but we'll see.

[@amplitron]

If that's the only part you struggle with, you might just need some more practice with it. Most extremes are pretty unbalanced so some parts will take more practice than others. Good Luck either way!

[@Wrongpersongd]

I struggled with Acu for a long time (on 60hz mind you) and it ended up taking me 15000+ attempts and almost a year, but now that I'm on 240fps, I feel like I'm beating levels quicker than I should. I guess that's the mentality I built up, levels always take a long time and fluking almost never happens. (This was probably due to practicing the level sporadically and not having a good strategy or plan when starting). Just wanted to share my experience, but I love the video and hopefully I can beat Semicolon 3 very soon with these new tips!

I tried to beat Hypersonic for almost 5 years, and well I still don't progress (45%) I don't drop the lvl because I tried other extremes and after 2 months I quit because I can't progress consistently, is that my problem? insane demons are difficult but I can beat them in 1 and a half weeks, but the extremes... no matter how hard I try, I can't get consistency. I think I'll continue playing insane. Sorry for my english

[@amplitron]

Just keep doing insane demons until you feel comfortable with a specific skill set and choose an extreme that fits in that skill set

[@hobbyist21]

Anamnesis, not rated yet but definitely at least legendary, and is expected to be an insane demon

[@BasikGMD]

Great vid but ill add more info because I can: Dont play if you dont feel like it maybe playing 30-60 mins a day or less may be better than playing 3 hours straight, also get good sleep. Dont focus in how much attemps other people did on the same level because you will pass a level with the attempts you need. Also if you are still on a difficulty below extreme demons, I recommend beating 5-6 levels of each difficulty with different skill sets to practice. Lastly, I recommend also checking the AREDL where u can see its top and the level itself its like a demonlist for all the levels. For example, I check many levels there and rn im looking for levels 50-100 tops above the last one I have beaten. For instance, I jumped from hypersonic #800 to draco meteor #710and now doing cat planet #590. That is how in 4 months I went from completing my first hard demon to completing 2 extreme demons. Hope this also helps UwU

[@arealhuman2409]

I 100% agree with you. My main points are: 1.: It's all about enjoyibg the game. If you don't enjoy a level there's no shame in dropping it and you wouldn't believe how much easier enjoyment actually makes a level. 2.: Your mindset is the most important thing in this game. Don't get demotivated because something takes longer than you thought. Basically keep a healthy mindset that allows you to progress in the game, without feeling stressed, or unsatisfied with yourself. I always go by or at least try to go by these points and it has really helped me progressing in terms of skill. But as I said video games are all about enjoyment so there's no point in torturing yourself with hard levels. Cuz one thing I've also noticed is that some people just don't like them. And that's fine. If you don't like grinding hard levels then you shouldn't force yourself to do them. Idk if anyone even read all of my ramblings I just kind of wrote my thoughts down. Eccellent video btw loved it!

Ya know, one thing you mentioned that I think I forgot about was trying to find levels to improve a certain skill set. I think I got into a mentality of “if you beat x easy extremes you an beat medium extremes” etc, but that just isn’t the case. If I keep struggling with wave on harder levels, it’s probably because I have a stronger timing skill set than wave and should focus on it

@@MegaCatLamp Even if it takes longer, make sure you understand every click well and what clicking earlier/later will do exactly. The better you understand the physics of the game, the more predictable levels will be when you're learning them. I'm honestly not the best at learning levels quickly and when comparing myself to people that are faster, it usually comes down to how many extremes they've beaten lower or at their skill range.
