The Nine Circles Trio Completed (in one day) // Nine Circles, Jawbreaker, Fairydust

Okay, sooooooo-

I beat the Nine Circles Trio in one day, which was today.
Why? Idk. Just felt like beating some NCs.
Also, I already beat Jawbreaker that day but I didn't record,
but that turned out to be no problem because I rebeat it in 3 attempts anyway.

I'm not really a fan of NC levels cuz I think they're boring and kinda tasteless,
and the deco is usually quite lacking and... epileptic.

Anyway, about Nine Circles:

It's the first of them all. Well, the gameplay gives me the feeling that I have
high input lag, and I don't know why. None of the other two levels ever gave me
that sorta deception, as if I had input lag.

On the other hand, it's a cool level and I'm a fan of those Lasts Cubes.
The gameplay was executed decently well where the first half of the wave is purely normal wave
and the second is mini wave.

I practised this one the most back in 2018 and it kind of paid off???
Though I never got good at it up until now.
It's undoubletly the easiest of the three. Zentic tried to make it harder by using loads of gravity portals,
but they're very easy to get used to and consistant at.

It's a very good NC level and I recommend this to anyone who tries to get better at waves and gravity portals.
Being a NC level is has the same sort of layout like its ancenstor, but it was still executed quite well.

Hoo boy. This level is by far the hardest of the three and that's only thanks to its inconsistency.
It's not like this took me thousands of attempts to beat, but I struggeled quite hard with it for
being a wave based hard demon.
I might've exaggerated with saying it's worse than Plasma Pulse III, because it's clearly not.
I was just glad it was over. But this is a very unenjoyable and inconsistant NC level.

On the other hand the layout isn't that bad. It uses the iconic gamemodes of NC, except it skips ship
for some reason. The first part of the wave is the hardest part, and the second half from 54% is easier.
Well I got quite unlucky and had the honor to die past 54% around 50 times until I beat it.
I'm just thankfull I fluked from 63%.
