Editing Firework (section)

===End of verification===
Some believed that Firework would never be verified, since only Kurumi could make progress. It took a long time for someone to beat Kurumi's 68% record after he dropped the level. The next verifier was Sid125, an Argentine player. He achieved a record of 64-96%.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ7V_AQ5vbQ</ref> Regardless, he quickly dropped it due to unknown reasons. Vernam claimed in a YouTube video that he harassed Sid into quitting the game, but this has been proven false, as Sid beat Aronia shortly after dropping the level. Doli, a Belgian player, was the next verifier, who got a run of 84-100%. Soon after, he got three more good runs: 79-100%, 71-94%, and 65-82%.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJ0ZOE7Hm-M</ref> However, he also dropped the level for unclear reasons. Vernam then discovered Trick, a previously unknown American player who had been getting strong runs on the public copy of the level just weeks before. He made Trick the official verifier after some consideration.

Trick made rapid progress with Firework, breaking Kurumi's previous record of 68% and several others set by other verifiers. He broke practically every prior verifier's record in two months, achieving 91%<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fAmY7DVRwM</ref> and a run of 24-100%<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YK8ttV3XF4s</ref> in September 2021, as well as a no-clip accuracy run of 99.98%. He buffed the level more and more over time to ensure it was the most difficult level ever beaten, while he nerfed some timings to balance the level. On 29 October 2021, he got runs of 92%<ref>https://twitter.com/GmdTrick/status/1454227394395615232</ref> and 95%.<ref>https://twitter.com/GmdTrick/status/1454243803909525510</ref> He verified the level later that day,<ref>https://twitter.com/spadeuk/status/1454264491374428161</ref> following a 98% failure.<ref>https://twitter.com/spadeuk/status/1454255949271736324</ref> Trick's reputation as a player exploded as a result, and he is now regarded as one of the most skilled players in the game's history.
