virtual collapse by teamuprising 100% | geometry dash 2.2 (extreme demon

Описание: well, just like with wutend 2 months ago, i end up posting one progress video for this level with no other ones, AND WELL WE'RE HERE I GUESS LMFAO (ik it's just an extreme "easier" than cataclysm this time i'm extremely happy with, but lemme explain that)

ok so this level i've had on my radar since fucking october (i think) 😭, and i was REALLY scared of trying this just a couple/several months ago... yeah it's kinda silly i was "scared" of trying an easy extreme this low on the aredl (13th easiest and #1305 is it's placement currently on the aredl as i'm typing this lol), but honestly, I ABSOLUTELY UNDERSTAND WHY ME SEVERAL MONTHS AGO WAS TURNED AWAY FROM TRYING THIS LEVEL

first off, it's an xl. now this may not seem too bad since it's only exactly 2 minutes. buuuuut, here's the thing: i haven't played any true xl levels since like unearthed, and i beat that shit 10 MONTHS AGO AT THIS POINT LOL. the last one i beat that is considered an xl level was phobos, and that was the beginning of last month. i'm still not in my arc of playing extremes that are 3+ minutes obviously. i mean if you asked me that like well over a year ago when i beat both dark odyssey and fusion z, i would've said yes. but, now that i'm playing extremes that are a little over a minute/exactly a minute/slightly under a minute/rarely a minute and a half, that's no longer the case. and with VERY rarely 2 minute levels that are considered xl. well virtual collapse broke the streak again, and i'll see if i can find more xl levels to do to improve my nerve control just a teeny tiny bit more :b (i still have carbon by waffl3x planned lmao)

second of all, this level has, what felt like at first, the slowest buildup of all time and i'm not even kidding when i say that. i would always look at the verification video for this and think, "man this seems really annoying," and, when i did try it initially just 2 days ago, yeah it may have seemed that way, but it's always just getting started is the hard part bc i was HELLA consistent with this level right before i beat it and the last few sessions i had with it on the level lol. i got to the drop like 3/4 of the time i guess you could say. speaking of the drop, minus the predrop being kinda slow for most people, towards the end for me, wasn't really the case thankfully cus i unironically might've fallen asleep to the beginning even tho the song is very loud and catchy and who is gonna fall asleep to that lmfao :b. anyways the drop is really fun! i really really like this part solely cus of the difficulty it's supposed to be and right after the long buildup of the predrop and into this drop part. but idk this just works perfectly and i have no issues with the middle of this level pretty much (this includes the drop ofc lol). that onwards ain't so terrible and still pretty fun! up until, the actually middle of the level (like 55-56), there is a really dumb orb timing into an upside-down cube part that has a block missing for whatever reason????? WHY????? that part not only looks awkward, but after the song slows down along with the level, it plays so fucking awkward and i hate it so much 😭😭😭 (also did not help i died here like 3-5 times iirc). there's also one dumb tight spider click at 59 and a click that looks like you have to time it but in reality, you don't. you just buffer that shit lmfao. i still of course was being dumb sometimes and died to the buffer cus i can't remember shit sometimes apparently 💀 (rest of the level afterwards is fine)

third and finally, the last quarter of the level... oh my fucking god, if we're excluding wutend from this, then this is single-handedly the most nerve wracking easy extreme i have ever beaten BECAUSE WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS WHOLE LAST QUARTER OF THE LEVEL!?!?!?!?!?!

ok yeah yeah, after learning it ain't so bad, but, even then, THAT coupled with the most intense part of the song being near the end, AND with all the shit happening in the background (EVEN IN LDM 😭😭), make this SO FUCKING NERVE WRACKING, ESPECIALLY FROM 0 LIKE WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN EASIER THA WHITE ALBUM AND CATA??????? HELLO??????? ok maybe cata i can still kind of understand (still should be raised higher than cata tbh), BUT EASIER THAN FUCKING WHITE ALBUM???? YEAH NO THAT'S JUST NOT TRUE AT ALL LOL. i know it's learny but like play the level yourself if you want to and you might change your opinion (IF you've beaten both levels of course lol ;b)

not to mention that last part after the dual wave and robot at around 79-80 was just so miserable to learn at first like jesus christ man what the fuck is that last section of the level 💀💀💀💀💀
