Was not expecting to make this as my next Vehemence comparison video but here we are. I'm not going to go deep into the history of the level, but the level has had a LOT of verifiers, that I do know. Radium, Polterghast, wPopoff, Netermind, Surrounded, Serpentical, zLevii, A6, and here we are with the level being open verification again. I wouldn't say I'm personally on either side, both have their own mishaps. Situation aside, Yuko really wanted this to be top 1, as it's been megabuffed. The blue unbuffed version is the first open verification version before Popoff was verifying, though likely still top 1 even in that state. This new version is a different beast and I did not believe my eyes seeing how hard it became. Even Popoff's hardest version is easier than this. Not sure exactly how hard it is, but definitely harder than basically every upcoming top 1 now. I should also mention that some parts have slightly shifted hazards for comparison sake

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 ðŸ˜), 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.

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...
