Editing Artificial Ascent (section)

===Demonlist===
*On 4 January 2017, the Pointercrate Demonlist was made, and Artificial Ascent was the inaugural Top 1, above Sakupen Hell.
**Artificial Ascent is regarded as the 26th instance of the hardest rated level in the game's history.
**Right after the official Demonlist was created, Artificial Ascent stayed on the #1 spot for ten days until it was dethroned by [[Sonic Wave]] along with Yatagarasu on 14 January 2017.
***Sonic Wave was already placed on a pre-existing version of the Demonlist but had not been placed on Pointercrate yet.
*Coincidentally, four players ([[Smokes]], Theo, Slypp, and xander) beat Artificial Ascent on the same day—the first day of 2018.
*[[Sunix]] was tasked to be the verifier at one point, as Combined had issues with his computer. After getting it fixed, Sunix returned Artificial Ascent to the original verifier, as he found verifying the level boring compared to Sonic Wave, which he was practising.
*Zobros, Michigun, and AbstractDark's parts are claimed to be the hardest.
*SuperFX has a record of 92%, which is the first level he would potentially beat, except for the official levels; he has an attempt to jump from Stereo Madness.
*Artificial Ascent was pushed out of the Top 5 twice by Digital Descent; first, when it was initially placed, and second, when it was moved back above Artificial Ascent after its buff-date.
*The placement of untitled unmastered on 13 September 2022 pushed Artificial Ascent to the Legacy List of the Demonlist.
**Artificial Ascent beat Bloodbath's 1,997-day record for the longest-standing level before being pushed into the Legacy List, with 2,078 days. This record has since been surpassed multiple times, with Zodiac currently being the longest-lasting level on the Demonlist.
**This placement also makes Artificial Ascent the first level of the Technology Trilogy to fall off the list.
