BOOM! This was brutal but an excellent level at the same time! Roughly a year ago, when I didn't have my 144hz at my disposition, my friend Hyoko asked me to try and beat FR3SH. (You may know him under the nick WesterFranz or TheRealWester as he built Hate War X and contributed to New Silent Club.) But I simply couldn't on 60hz and so I said that once I'll be back with my setup I'll attempt it. I was not ready...

It took me 6759 attempts (the old practice run aside, which is irrelevant anyway as the level was updated, plus, I had completely forgotten about FR3SH's gameplay). 6759 may not seem much at all and it really is not. In fact, I fluked it from 77 to 100%. I don't even know-how. The hardest part was literally there and I crashed at it only a few times with 71, 72, 73, 74, 75 twice and 77. For once I fluked something I'm happy it was FR3SH.

Still, my completion process was to grind it the hard way, brute forcing it like an idiot and doing a percent by percent type of progression so that I eventually become absurdly consistent on it. And so I was expecting around 10k attempts and my expectations weren't far off considering I beat it with a 23% fluke in just under 7k attempts.

A word about its difficulty: that's hard, yes. If Subsonic is list-worthy, then this is also list-worthy. I would say this is closer to Quantum Processing than Subsonic in terms of difficulty (as I practiced a bit Quantum Processing). According to Hyoko, players who tried FR3SH claimed this would be 110-120 on the list, I can't personally tell as most levels on the list I've never tried but there you have it I suppose.

I'll surely continue beating Extremes here and there but list-worthy Extremes are for another discussion. While I could beat a few in that list, I don't want to brute force every level I play, I'd rather progressively get better at the game so that I don't have to feel like I can't do x or y level even after 5000 attempts. Which is kind of how I felt here. It was like: "I can do it, technically speaking I can pass every part". Yet it just felt unreal thinking of a run that would see me going through every one of them at once.

A few more words about FR3SH if you want to attempt it (as I hope this recording will be enough to get it rated as it's been ent to RobTop already). The 14/15% timings are painful. Try taking the yellow orb before the last two clicks lightly late, it'll make it easier. The 43% UFO timing is one to brute force in practice. The 45% blue/purple orb is also to brute force into muscle memory. The 50% UFO I never really got consistent but it should be "brute force-able" as well. The 57-61% section is not as hard as it seems like it is when you first try it, you quite easily get consistent at it. The 70- is the one to worry about. I was about to start brute-forcing it but I somehow beat it before doing so. Still, I tried my luck, would I recommend you to do so? No, not really, it could get extremely frustrating crashing there often and grinding the level. The 75% is tricky, don't let your cube go to the block right before the spike, as it's slightly below the one before, the small fall will make you unable to jump. As for the 77% purple orb section, I always took the first one and tried to maintain my cube relatively close to the lower spike section. 79-81 is somewhat fun to play but insanely hard, plus it feels awfully random, I don't have many tips, try taking the green and black orbs a bit late, then when you're at the blue, blue, yellow orb section, try to take the first blue one a bit late. The last tip would be for the 89% green orb. To make it easier I realized quite late actually that doing one small click with the ship before makes it significantly easier. And that's about what I can tell you as those parts were the ones that took me some time to figure out an optimal way to pass them consistently.
