Sonic Wave by Cyclic, beaten by Sashozz

After 51088 attempts, I have finally completed Sonic Wave. This was a very rough experience for me, with the amount of fails I had at the last wave (specifically 7 fails), how unlucky I got, and the amount of stress this level gave me, I am extremely relieved that I finally beat it and can move on to harder levels. Similar to most of my other extreme demons that I beat as new hardests, I knew Sonic Wave ever since it was hacked by Cyclic back in 1.9, and from what I remember the most I got was 1% thinking that nobody can beat it, and back then if someone could beat it they would be above Riot who I viewed as a literal god back then. I didn’t really start playing the level seriously until September 2022, when I did my first major run being 39-67% on 75hz, just for fun. I played the level sometimes just to get some good runs on it, and that led to me getting it in 3 runs on the level eventually, where back when I did that the community considered it impressive since it was a top 1 on low refreshrate. After I beat Bloodbath during summer break of 2023, I completely went for Sonic Wave, and at first I made very fast progress, getting runs like 28-100% in less than 2 weeks, but overtime I slowed down. I was so fast in fact that if I stayed consistent after my fail at 95% I would’ve beaten it as my very first list demon, but it was too late. That was one of the most painful things I had to go through in my gd career, but it taught me a valuable lesson, don’t beat levels because they are on the list, beat the levels YOU want to beat for the sake of improvement or for fun. This is why I am planning on doing The Golden as a jump from Sonic Wave, because I like the level and it is good for my improvement, I don’t care where it is on the list, I will still try to beat it even if it falls into the legacy list.
Now what do I think about Sonic Wave? If you are bad at long levels and the wave gamemode, you are gonna severely struggle with this level. I am a person who has beaten multiple XL demons and many extremely hard wave challenges, and despite that this level gave a really rough time. In terms of enjoyability, this level is VERY not fun, the wave parts are alright despite having a ton of chokepoints, but the predrop is way too long and has some pretty BS timings in many parts. So would I recommend it? Hell no, but if you want to get better at the game and go through some pain along the way, give it a shot.
Anyways thanks to those who were there for me, most notably Asobe and Des since they were the only to support and witness me beating the level live. I will be taking a big break from extreme demons, probably going to create and improve my skillset for now, but once I come back to beating extreme demons I will be beating VERY HARD ones.
