I was originally thinking about doing a frame windows video on this level, but figured it really wasn't a good level to do it on, due to the randomness, alternate routes, and in general *relative* lenient timings due to being nearly 6 minutes long. You probably remember this level from showcases in 2022, I remember this was one of my favorite upcoming top levels back then, being a top 1 contender at the time. The level is special in basically every way, such as the length, song, deco, and especially the gameplay. The deco is quite avante-garde, and not something i've seen anywhere else. It's clean at the beginning, more messy at the 40% drop, staying that way all throughout.
The gameplay is more so reliant on chokepoints and nerve control. It looks pretty easy, but in reality, is much harder than it looks. There's just random wave gaps that are awkward and ridiculous, and you need pretty high cps all throughout the drop. The predrop is probably boring to play after a while, making this level probably around top 15 even to this day.
The WR on this level was at first set by Erzor in late 2023, at 33%, followed up a year later with 37%, and yet another year later, 43% in July 2025. This really didn't get to the hard parts, but still were impressive runs. Now a large reason at why this showcase is even on my channel, is because I found a WR by a really unknown player, rChamber, who has beaten BRITNEY NO SCLEARS as her hardest. She actually has the level in 3 runs, with 45%, 45-66%, and 64-100%, which is quite insane. Definitely go check her out, and how can I forget, special thanks to her for recording the macro for the optimized run, which uses the best routes, as opposed to the "normal" routes I also decided to include (and a hitbox showcase so you can see it better).

Would be very cool if rChamber verified it, but the level is indeed open verification. I just hope to see this on the demonlist one day.

![[Top 50] - VOID with Frame Windows Counter](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PG6nfklIAKA/mqdefault.jpg "[Top 50] - VOID with Frame Windows Counter
As promised, a frame window counter on VOID by Eddy, verified by veshel a couple days ago, requested by a few. One of the most diffict nine circles levels, thought it definitely doesnt look that way. Rather than difficult individual timings, the level is carried by endurance more than anything. Basically every click that isnt registefed here in the wave parts is a 7f. Im actually curious about a 60 fps frame perfect counter lol. Otherwise I dont have much to add to this, as i already talked about it recently. GGs to veshel again.

Should preface this with a moderate epilepsy warning: Silent Fortress is a recently released level by zwaru as a collab with others, the level being the sequel of Silent Helheim made around 5 years ago by waru as well. This level is much much harder than Silent Helheim, being admittedly buffed in the comments of the official showcase. For me, this is an infinitely more interesting and visually appealing level than Silent Helheim, which felt like just another random upcoming top 10 to be verified (now low mainlist or extended). Theres some really cool deco in here, especially the middle sections of the level.
The level is extremely hard, obviously, and its certainly not helping that its 2nd half carried. The swings and ships are insane, and basically every input in the level manages to register as a 1-6 frame window. Its probably a decent bit harder than Society, and a few other upcoming top 1s, but definitely doable nowadays thanks to the length. I will note that the level is open verification. The WR is 27% by zwaru afaik, though if its cheated then its 5% by me LOL. Goodluck to anyone who tries this insane level.

Sheol 9 is an upcoming top 1 extreme demon by Rynoxious, to be decorated by him and Linear. They plan to make this level the level to end all nine circle top 1s, and I have no doubt they will cook. This is an early look the current version (still a layout) difficulty, and is obviously very subject to change. Its not very long but has insane difficulty regardless, which is really brutal. Theres a ton of 4 and 3f timings which add up, combined with the cps and possibly some memory stuff going on, as the wave is already going through blocks, etc. Very much looking forward to this levels deco.
