How I went from ACU to LIST DEMONS in under 2 months . . .

In 2 months, my hardest demon has gone from Acu, to levels on the top 150 demon list. In this video I share some tips that I’ve learned along the way from playing levels up until this point. If you find these tips helpful, please consider subscribing as this video took a lot of effort (2 months worth) and it helps me out a lot!

Solid video! I always recommend people to focus on beating a lot of levels, and slowly working up, rather than jumping because you will end up spending just as much time on the level you wanted to jump to, but you beat lots more levels in the process, and at the same time evens out your skillset way more. Quantity of completions will make you overall significantly better, and lets you learn, and beat levels faster as a result. Good stuff :)

Super well structured video with practical tips. I always worried that dropping levels early on was a bad habit of just chasing what feels new, but it's good to hear that it's okay to switch to something else more enjoyable. Thanks for this video man :)

as someone who mostly plays list demons, i really like your points about playing something you enjoy and also dropping levels. There is such a stigma surrounding the idea of dropping levels and it honestly doesn't make you any worse if you drop said level. You will not lose the prior experience you had playing that level so you will always get a small skillboost from playing something even if you do not beat it. Also so many players today give levels bad enjoyment ratings when it really isnt necessary. Unless your main goal is to clear the entire list or beat something "iconic" there is no reason to play a level you simply dont enjoy. Do not rely on the opinions of others, if you enjoy the level, give it a try!

im currently jumping from a medium to an extreme and ive learned these exact things over the last month

I just recently passed 30 demons, and I'm going for my first memory demon, these tips make a lot of sense but it's east to forget simple things like don't set time constraints in stone since it's such a natural habit. Hope to see more from you in the future!

Well there's this thing for me, that every time I grow up I get better...

I was like 7 years old (2015) that time, and I was kinda bad at the game... And now 2022 I'm kinda better at the game...

I'm so glad this video came up in my recommended. I hope your channel blows up!

God the enjoyment factor is what does it more than anything. Nine Circles took me over 2 years to beat, and then I beat Poltergeist in like a week and a half and I'm nearly done with Deadly Clubstep. I never want to play NC again, but I can definitely see myself coming back to the other two.

[GlomeGuy]

[ItzHudzon]

[thenickstrikebetter]

My hardest currently is acu (mobile 60hz) so I feel way more motivated now.

[palex]

[SpaceUS-ud]

[jax]

going from acu to wasureta after dropping dark odyssey because it got REALLY boring. wasu felt absolutely impossible on my first day but im just now getting there. solid video man you made some great points <3 keep it up homie

These are wonderful tips! I'm not anywhere near beating an extreme demon, and I don't know that I ever will reach that point, but I do find my skill increasing as I play the game and a lot of these tips still apply to levels that I have played through. Sometimes, my determination to beat a level becomes more of my reason for playing than having fun. It makes me wonder I'm even playing if I'm not having fun. Practicing through levels that you actually enjoy is the better way to build skill, because then if you're still determined to beat a level that you don't enjoy, you can play it when your skill level is so much higher that it isn't as difficult.

jumping from ultra drivers to cataclysm i currently have 71% and these tips are great and def something I learned in my time jumping. that last quote is something I remember everyday

[BasikGMD]

Great vid but ill add more info because I can:
Dont play if you dont feel like it maybe playing 30-60 mins a day or less may be better than playing 3 hours straight, also get good sleep.
Dont focus in how much attemps other people did on the same level because you will pass a level with the attempts you need.
Also if you are still on a difficulty below extreme demons, I recommend beating 5-6 levels of each difficulty with different skill sets to practice.
Lastly, I recommend also checking the AREDL where u can see its top and the level itself its like a demonlist for all the levels. For example, I check many levels there and rn im looking for levels 50-100 tops above the last one I have beaten. For instance, I jumped from hypersonic #800 to draco meteor #710and now doing cat planet #590.
That is how in 4 months I went from completing my first hard demon to completing 2 extreme demons.
Hope this also helps UwU
