How did we get here. My final 2.1 demon and hardest, my biggest accomplishment yet in this game finished right here. This wasn't as rough of a journey as some other completions I've had, but the path I took to get to this point was still incredible. As soon as I got my new Sayodevice keypad, this is the first thing I started grinding on it. As an avid ex-mouse user it was quite difficult for me to adjust, but eventually I got used to it, despite that meaning a very rough beginning. I had a lot of trouble learning and getting consistent with parts of this level, taking a while to even do 56-100 and 38-56, but despite everything I persevered. This level was a huge challenge for me considering how bad I am at XL levels, especially ones longer than 3 minutes. I very noticeably have a significantly bigger amount of trouble with them compared to long and medium levels due to my atrocious nerve control skills. But that's what makes it even more mind boggling that out of any level, THIS is the one that I end up fluking. 75 might not seem like that big of a percent to fluke from, but the hardest click of the level in my opinion (and most other people's too) is at 79%. You also can't forget about Enlex's part, which is infamous for ending many people's runs in the 90s. Factor in all of that with my nerve control skills, and you get the biggest miracle in my GD career. Sure, I had flukes from smaller percentages, like Sakupen Hell from 60%, Triple Six from 74% or Cataclysm from 64%, but the former is extremely short and the latter two aren't that big of a fluke considering the level itself. This is truly the luckiest completion of my GD career so far. As for the level itself, I did enjoy it. It can get quite boring to play from 0, but despite that, the gameplay itself is very fun to execute and the adrenaline rush you get when getting far is indescribable. Speaking of that, I tied with my peak heart rate, that being 204 BPM. You can't really imagine how that feels without actually experiencing it yourself. Just in case anybody is concerned about that high heart rate then know that despite it being that high, it still isn't in the dangerous territory. There should be no actual health risks. Overall, this is a pretty good level, but if you get unlucky with it it could definitely turn into a bad experience. Would recommend if you have good nerve control skills.
