Azure Infinity is a newly verified nine circles extreme demon by Lotlcute, a remake to one of their previous levels named simply Azure. This level was verified by ChopBlox after some nerfs, being originally estimated top 300 by the creator. Chop isn't sure about the difficulty and honestly neither am I, though it's probably not quite top 300 anymore. The level feels very inspired by The Hallucination, with the wave patterns and decoration being decently reminiscent of The Hallucination. It definitely does stray away just enough, I think at atleast. Pretty cool level

METROPOLIS is a solo list demon by KZLR, verified around 2 weeks ago by Ascended, in 93k attempts. Its a unique level in the way that it uses a multi-activate blue orb all the way through, which gets you through these gaps. The gaps dont look very tight in comparison to normal cube jump gaps, but the cube rises and falls much faster with these, which gives surprisingly little leniency in your inputs. I decided to cover this since the level is super unknown for its difficulty, which is estimated to be around Slaughterhouse. The level is surprisingly well balanced (obvious exception of the first click), which is kinda rare to see. I hope more people give this a try. Its also crazy how common 1fs are becoming in modern list demons. Artemis 13 casually with 5, like ig bro...? Anyway, hope this gets rated soon. The precision is very high, as expected, rivaling Flamewalls 173.1 σ/s and surpassing Anathemas 166.8 σ/s, at 171.9 σ/s.

The unnerfed version of Kowareta, also called Gumi, has been verified by the insanely underrated player Lukasta. I was originally just going to upload it by itself, but thats boring, so why not violate my break and make a whole frame windows video? The normal version of Kowareta was verified at the very end of 2018 by Gablor / rin / shuri herself and was set to place in the top 3, however it did not get rated until July of 2019, eventually placing at #6 (rather than the #2 it wouldve placed at, above PPF and Spacial Rend, below Bloodlust). It became a very popular level for people to go for due to its length, as it got a bit lower. It fell off the list in mid 2024 to Gustavo Fring. However as per usual with older, the level had a ridiculous unnerfed version that was inconceivable at the time of release, with this unnerfed version to modern knowledge even outclassing Zodiac and Kenos. The level actually got a remake in 2021 by Lisp, with the same name, Gumi.
However that version was still much easier than this version, as it had rebalanced the level and fixed the bugs which contributed to this being much higher than it might otherwise seem. Its really difficult to tell even with the layout showcase and frame window counter, but this level is absolutely horrendous to play. It retains so many unplaytested parts and yeah, many parts are overall tighter, as you can see here: https://youtu.be/HUg6e2TXfHU?is=MduJtCgYDJWKjrEb
Lukasta has been playing this level for years, and its really cool to see them pull it off after 163k attempts. I do want to mention Thnnder whod played this level largely off stream and briefly, streaming a single time last July, getting 86% twice. Cool to see this verified!

Sepion is an upcoming top 5 remake of the popular level, Cognition by Endlevel. It features really similar deco, gameplay and even song style to Cognition, but the colors and song definitely make it stand on its on. I remember seeing this on some other channels as I believe an open verification, as an ID was included in KeyNoms showcase. It however is no longer open verification to my knowledge and is going to be verified by the player Blue_GMD (not gmdblue the Dasher Podcast host and content creator 😭), whose hardest is Firework, and just recently beat Trickshot. The level is kind of an endurance challenge in a way, there not being many individually difficult clicks, but many many 5-7f timings that add up. Probably the good idea for a level that is a remake of Cognition.

![[TOP 0] - Bad Times with Frame Windows Counter](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Lt0OfGLl0cU/mqdefault.jpg "[TOP 0] - Bad Times with Frame Windows Counter
Bad Times was an upcoming top 1 from 2021 that was very infamous at the time. It was basically the pinnacle of difficulty for any level conceivable. The term Top 0 is a pretty silly clickbait term, but I do understand why the label was applied to some levels, such as this. Others I vividly remember were Amaterasu, TON 618 Remake, Lament and Adramalech (basically this levels main competitor). This particular time was special, as it kinda kickstarted the trend for upcoming top 1s to be so desired by the community.
This level was honestly one of the best upcoming levels, largely due to the fact that this really is a fully original level using a song not often seen, with gameplay that was especially crazy for the time, I mean the duals in specific. Even now, I still love this level, and thats why even though I avoid doing these on layouts, I did one for this. The level is monstrously difficult even to this day, being harder than levels like true unnerfed Angelicide and World Render, absolutely blowing Aeternus and levels of similar difficulty out of the water. Its really unlikely this would ever be finished, despite the hints of a potential hardest 2.2 top 1 teased by the host after 2.2 released, as we havent seen or heard anything about this. Pretty awesome level with a lot of potential...
