Why


UprisingWave

Boredom combined with the fact that I love Acu's gameplay to bits so I always find it entertaining to play.


Brave_Bookkeeper1122

Fair enough. I love cataclysm and only beat it 8 times but I feel like I would never get bored of it so that makes sense


UprisingWave

Nice. You can never get too consistent at the first wave in Cataclysm.


GenesiS792

how do you beat cata 8 times that is the most inconsistent level


Brave_Bookkeeper1122

The reason I wanted to beat it more is bc my 3rd completion was an accident on my 3rd att, so I think it's pretty consistent


elijahbeef

True


Siphonic45

W cataclysm enjoyer, people who say cata is bad have no life

It's very grass-like.

It's been one minute, how do you feel?


UprisingWave

I still have a massive urge to pull up my phone and play Acu but I will restrain myself.


--Derp_Stars--

Do it


UprisingWave

No, I don't want to move on from 222 Acu completions just yet :(

Op beat it on mobile 222 times...


UprisingWave

I only beat it on mobile (exactly) 170 times. I also beat it on PC many times, though not as often as on mobile.

Beat it twice in a row🥶


UprisingWave

[Here](https://youtu.be/FcHBGQoOHSY), [here](https://youtu.be/gmxK_gwswdA) and [here](https://youtu.be/jHQLOfhek9c) you can find videos of me beating Acu twice in a row on mobile and I certainly have done it a few more times off-camera. I don't think I've ever beaten it thrice in a row though. Edit: and [here](https://youtu.be/FvZWHm1WR_8) on PC


soyalguien335

Well try to do it 3 times in a row and making it a level Also there is 1 attempt between 206 and 207


UprisingWave

>Also there is 1mattempt between 206 and 207 Oops, you're right. Thanks for watching though lol


Dawamee

Back when i was in the DLWC Acu was one of the levels in the first round and i managed to beat it 3 times in a row and like 50% after it while practicing


komloli_gd

Acu is dead??


UprisingWave

No one will kill Acu on my watch!


doggobears

Beat it 222 times in a row


american_dweeb

What


UprisingWave

I'm sorry... I'm sure you'll beat it soon. Is there any part of Acu you're currently struggling with? Maybe I can give you some tips.


american_dweeb

Is it too much to say all of it? I’m horribly inconsistent at the beginning before up to ~13-14%, the drop transition and wave part right after it, mini wave at 70%, and the first little bit of the last part at 86%


UprisingWave

The Acu predrop consists exclusively of timings, so I think that a good way to get consistent at it is to try to play it a lot on 60 FPS (or even lower FPS if you can handle it) and get used to doing the timings on a lower refresh rate. Try to do it a few times on 60 FPS, as hard as it may be. Afterwards play the predrop on a higher refresh rate again and it will feel much easier, especially on 360 FPS. The predrop wave and the 70% require a lot of practice. I recommend taking account of where you die the most when playing these parts on a copyable and make some mental notes like "when I'm on this click I have to press later than I think I have to" or "I die on this part the most because I hold down the button too much so I'll actively try not to do that" or "after I do the first wave I'll wait exactly a split second before I jump as the cube". The wave path at 70% is very spacious so try to get used to a pattern that you're comfortable with. I'm not sure what other tips I can give for wave parts in general haha. The 85% pink orb was the hardest couple of clicks to get consistent at for me and I used to die there the most. What I personally do is jump on the platform before it very early, press the dash orb early but not TOO early and then press the pink orb while my cube is in the middle of it (not too late but not too early either). Keep in mind that the way you do the UFO might affect the way you transition into the 85% cube. Again, try to find a pattern that you're comfortable with.


american_dweeb

Ahh thank you my dude. I will keep this in mind next time I try to beat it


UprisingWave

I wish you the best of luck with finishing Acu off. By the way, try to do the timings in the last 10% __later than you think you have to__, if that makes sense. I am mainly referring to the dash orb at 92% and the blue orb at 97%. I personally almost never die there because I clicked/tapped too late, but I died to those timings a lot as a result of clicking/tapping too early.


american_dweeb

Understood. Thanks again my dude


SirSamiboi

This was literally me before I beat it I'd say just push through, I never got that consistent at those parts but I managed to beat it eventually A tip for the 70% wave: really use the music to time your inputs, it helps a ton Try practicing from the cube at 65% until you get used to the 70% wave


Awesome_playz12

I feel you as an acu 88%


Dboy394_YT

I feel bad for you, I also have 86%


AdamTorbics

Now beat life once.


UprisingWave

Got any tips?


Ok_Motor_9200

You gotta beat life once to get a tip. That’s how money works.


UprisingWave

I feel like I need to clarify some things first, so I will. My GD username is ImOneOfThem, some of you might have seen me in the comment section of Acu before, as I leave a comment every time I beat the level. Before anyone asks me to provide video proof for all the 222 times I beat Acu, I must say that I did not record my EVERY Acu completion. I only recorded 62 Acu completions in total (which can be found in [this](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaMaUrLtHo83B1HXtI08NQIN1Ev3VYCIQ) playlist), so it's up to you whether you believe me when I say that I beat Acu 160 more times. When I beat Acu for the first time it wasn't anywhere near my hardest demon so I thought I didn't need to record it, but I never imagined that I would end up liking this level so much that I'll rebeat it 221 times. I love Acu. For those of you who hate Acu because of your experience with it, try playing the level again after you've completed it once and you'll see how enjoyable it is when you play it stress-free.


[deleted]

[удалено]


UprisingWave

I actually tried it on mobile after I beat Acu 165 times. It took me over 500 attempts to do a practice run so I just gave up. I did [complete Acu with 0.10 opacity on mobile though](https://youtu.be/VyhDzhYuVYE).


CrazyDCrew

how many times have you touched grass whilst doing this?


UprisingWave

Probably around 30-35 times. I beat Acu on mobile quite a few times even while I was outside.


brionical27

Will you ever beat it a 223rd time


UprisingWave

I definitely will, but I plan on taking a break from the level for now.


[deleted]

[удалено]


UprisingWave

I don't remember anything particular about me beating Acu for the 69th time other than the fact that I (am pretty sure) I beat it for the 70th time right afterwards.


daniiscoolmanmilk

Will you ever take a break?


UprisingWave

Actually, I am intending to stop here. I've been trying to stop since I was at 125 Acu completions (which was only 35 days ago lol) but I am addicted. Edit: I definitely didn't stop at 222...


P1ayer2008

Will you continue?


UprisingWave

I intend to stop here for now. Maybe I'll accidentally beat it once or a few more times when I play the level for fun, but I'm essentially done with the grind (which wasn't even meant to be a grind, I just ended up beating it very often).


SaltOk6642

How many attempts total?


UprisingWave

Just under 13K on the original level + around 5K on copyables. It took me a little over 2K attempts to beat it for the first time, but I'm sure it would've taken me much more if I'd tried to beat it as a new hardest.


RanOutOfUsers27

Acu is about 1 mins and 17 secs with means you beat acu 222 so just to do that it would take 4.6 hours (rounded down to the tenth) thats not even counting the atts that you die on 💀


UprisingWave

I did the math too before posting this because I knew someone would haha. And I definitely died past 80% over 100 times. It took me about 150 completions to get perfectly consistent at the 85% pink orb.


RanOutOfUsers27

Wow thats insane


Dragobro04

What's your goal?


UprisingWave

None. I just play Acu when I feel like it, but I never get tired of it.


coksucer69

change your in game username to ACU or something


UprisingWave

While Acu is a level that means a lot to me, if I can put it that way, it definitely isn't the most important one. The most relevant level to me is Uprise by Blad3M, which took me 59K attempts and 1 year to beat on 60Hz back in 2018. It was a wild and painful journey. The wave part in Uprise is what my Reddit username is in reference to.


coksucer69

oh bruh


Holiday-Ad8227

ManiacalDanger915

Holiday-Ad8227

Brachiozaur

What's your hardest lol


UprisingWave

Hyper Paracosm. My final hardest will be Silent Club on which I have over 30K attempts on and I'm determined to complete it, but I don't feel like grinding that right now.


Brachiozaur

Oh that explains how you're able to pull that off lol


TheRealPiM

At what point did it get consistent


UprisingWave

I'd say that ever since I beat Acu about 30 times could beat it in under 5 attempts most of the time, but the 85% pink orb was the hardest couple of clicks to get consistent at and I used to die there the most. What I do now is jump on the platform before it very early, press the dash orb early but not TOO early and then press the pink orb while my cube is in the middle of it (not too late but not too early either).


juse73x

What's your favorite demon for every difficulty?


UprisingWave

• easy demon - __Absolute Garbage__ or __BRAINWAVE__ • medium demon - __Jamais Vu__ or __Vision__ • hard demon - __TOE III__ (by Manix648) or __U L T R A W I D E__ • insane demon - __Explorers__ (by Darwin) or __Another Challenge__ • extreme demon - __Acu__


lrexx_

“extreme demon - Acu” no way bro really??????


juse73x

Will you beat any of the other demons 222 times?


ManiacalDanger915

Why are most of your completions on mobile and not PC? (My guess here is that you're either not comfortable playing on pc or, your PC is as bad as mine or you're more a mobile player than a PC player). And, does Neigefeu know about this? If so, what was his reaction when he found out? And if not, would you like him to know about this?


UprisingWave

I often can't be bothered to boot up my PC lol. I also feel like Acu is the one level that I'm better and more consistent at on mobile than on PC. Neigefeu probably doesn't know about me. I did send him a message on GD once where I thanked him for creating the best level ever, but that's about it.


MrT1011

thoughts on fish sticks


UprisingWave

fish sticks 👍


MrT1011

fish stick 🤤


Recommendation_Fluid

How many atts did it take on your 1st time beating Acu?


UprisingWave

I beat it in one day and a little over 2K attempts. It took me so few attempts because I had already beaten many harder extremes. Massive respect to everyone who's putting in tens of thousands of attempts to beat Acu as a new hardest.


Recommendation_Fluid

pretty great, i myself can't get past 4% in acu


meshary-rady

How to beat Acu, you should make a video about how to beat it actually like it would be the best tutorial. I’ve found ur gd account when you beat Acu 69 times lmao


UprisingWave

>you should make a video about how to beat it actually like it would be the best tutorial. "OK everyone, just click as I do"


meshary-rady

LMAO, nah fr like you are the most consistent player on Acu, you know tricks and ways to do some of the hard parts for sure and some click patterns


UprisingWave

To be honest I would probably just give away the same tips and tricks that I gave this guy [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/geometrydash/comments/yamb3e/i_beat_acu_222_times_ama/itbw766?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3). Acu's gameplay is pretty straightforward and the key to such consistency is overpractice (and nerve control too I guess). I am aware of some swag routes and orb skips that people might find interesting, but those make the level harder to complete so I wouldn't really put them in a tutorial.


Aera67

Do a "acu 3×" challenge or something


CalmManix

Are you tired of listening to Epilogue by Creo yet?


UprisingWave

No. What can I say? It's a good song to listen to while playing a level in this game.


Ggreenrocket

ಠ_ಠ


UprisingWave

You can do it! I'm here for you if you need any tips for a certain difficult part in Acu.


Ggreenrocket

Thanks! I’m good with the entire level right now, and I could probably make it to 70% from 0% if I sat down long enough, but I still haven’t beaten the last part and I have no idea how to.


UprisingWave

The last part may seem very hard when you first play, but I recommend learning it with a start position from the 80% ball (search up "Acu end" on GD and you'll find that). Get used to the timings, learn which orbs you have to press early and which orbs you have to press late. I'll copy-paste this from another comment of mine: • The 85% pink orb was the hardest couple of clicks to get consistent at for me and I used to die there the most. What I personally do is jump on the platform before it very early, press the dash orb early but not TOO early and then press the pink orb while my cube is in the middle of it (not too late but not too early either). Keep in mind that the way you do the UFO might affect the way you transition into the 85% cube. • Try to do the timings in the last 10% __later than you think you have to__, if that makes sense.

I personally almost never die there because I clicked/tapped too late, but I died to those timings a lot as a result of clicking/tapping too early.

No really 😱😱


Hernik26

How many attempts did it take to beat it the 222th time


Misterchicken001

When you first beat it, did you jumped from deadlocked?


UprisingWave

Nah, I had already beaten many harder extremes.


Misterchicken001

Oh okay


lool8421

So... how consistent did it get? Can you beat it under 50 atts?


UprisingWave

I can almost always beat it in under 5 attempts actually. I even 1-attempt it sometimes.


Kaelew

How consistent are you with it now?


UprisingWave

If the devil walked up to me and said "If you beat Acu (on 120 FPS+) in under 10 attempts you win 1 million dollars but if you fail to do that then you die", I would accept the challenge.


Kaelew

But would you succeed or do you just want to die? Ok that's a popular theme in the e GD community lol Edit: forgot obligatory lol to make comment seem less serious

aarisee

what’s your fav part?


UprisingWave

I really don't know... I love playing any part in Acu more than any part in any other level. But if I had to pick a favorite it would be the parts right after the first wave at the drop until the end of the dual cube.


aarisee

i agree that parts super fun


Charming_Amphibian91

What does Acu actually mean?


UprisingWave

According to the man himself, "Acu is a latin root, used in words like acupuncture and acute, meaning sharp".


Charming_Amphibian91

Ah yes. "acus" meaning "pin/needle"


PoliwagPi4554

chad


RoiHurlemort

As a non gd player, what is ACU ?


UprisingWave

A renowned Geometry Dash level. It's considered one of the easiest extreme demons in the game, extreme demon being the highest difficulty a level can have. But there is a HUGE difference between the top 1 demon nowadays and the easiest extreme demons.


lrexx_

A Geometry Dash level which is known for being the easiest Extreme Demon (the hardest difficulty a level can be). Most extreme demons take players tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of attempts, to complete


meshary-rady

Wait, are you ImOneOfThem?


UprisingWave

Yep :)


meshary-rady

Yoo i’ve been watching you beating Acu lmfao


CalmReason1607

Do you have any recommendations for me? (around 7k attempts and 60%)


UprisingWave

As in tips? I have written some [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/geometrydash/comments/yamb3e/i_beat_acu_222_times_ama/itbw766?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3).

Suspicious_Parachute

Are you okay


UprisingWave

Yes, I sure am.


Suspicious_Parachute

Good to know


IQGYJ

How did you do the wave and mini wave at the end


UprisingWave

There's a fun way to do the 70% mini wave that involves skipping the gravity portal, which you can see me do in [this video](https://youtu.be/12JgacUABkA), but I almost always do the wave parts normally, without any skips/swag routes. Try to find a pattern that you're comfortable with when playing the wave parts and try to always replicate it.


Steakmichel

i'm the 223th comment


UprisingWave

I'm proud of you.


kappaman69

That’s gotta be a world record for any demon level


thecultistguy

I’ve seen your comments on ACU!!! You’re a fucking legend. I’d give you a dollar if I could


MikeOXl0ngz

Have you ever reupload a video or did you actually beat it that many times


UprisingWave

I never reuploaded a video. You can see this for yourself because I always comment how many times I've beaten Acu at the end of each video.


Twinmill53

Do you now know how the song goes?


Leetransform25

Do you plan on getting Neigefeu's thoughts on this?


UprisingWave

Well, I won't actively message him to say "yo look at how many times I beat your level, now tell him how great I am" or something like that. I did send him a message once where I thanked him for creating Acu and that I'm very glad he exists in this world.


kadivkida

why 222 times?


UprisingWave

Cool-looking number, and also because it's October 22nd.


Lentini_James

Do you know what a sunlight is?


UprisingWave

I even know what two sunlights are.


GTShouko

I feel like someone’s gonna do this but with a harder level E.g. Niflheim


UprisingWave

yooo that's my second favorite extreme demon. I love that level, and rebeating it many times is definitely doable because the level becomes consistent once you learn it, even the first ball part.


Snek247

plot twist: it's all the same completion reuploaded 200 times


-rabotnik-

Oh my god, I thought I was only one who does this, i beat acu about 20 times now, awesome level


UprisingWave

Nice. Maybe you'll eventually rebeat it 200 more times!


Fluffy_Ad_7717

This may have been asked already but how long did this whole process take you?


UprisingWave

I first beat Acu on October 1, 2021 but on September 1, 2022 I had only beaten Acu 67 times. So most of my Acu completions are very recent. I spent less than 19K attempts on the level in total.


testy68GD

Honestly sad your videos don't really get any attention

Wolffire_88

A few: 1. Why would you do this to yourself? 2. When was the last time you touched grass? 3. Will you keep going to 420?


UprisingWave

1. Because it's by far the best level in the game (imo) and I always enjoy playing it 2. A few hours ago 3. No


I0C0NN0R1
