'''Devil Vortex''' is a [[Update 2.0|2.0]]/[[Update 2.1|2.1]] Extreme Demon level by Rustam, hack-verified by [[ToshDeluxe]] on 21 April 2017.<ref name=":0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSMoWAZOun0</ref> It is known for its difficult, fast-paced gameplay and several straight-fly and mini-wave sections with very tight spaces. It is also notoriously buggy and inconsistent—a frequent feature in Rustam's levels.


As the initial verification was illegitimate, many people considered [[Sunix]] the level's verifier, as he was the first person to beat the level with proven legitimacy.

Devil Vortex was somewhat started in Update 2.0 when Rustam entered [[Viprin]]'s Creator Contest 7,<ref>https://youtu.be/WykkAEA0Iz8</ref> which was to decide the replacement for [[Manix648]]'s part in [[Yatagarasu]].<ref>https://youtu.be/-w0RN76r0NM</ref> Rustam's entry featured fast-paced gameplay with many portal changes.<ref>https://youtu.be/HhcVzEf_7OY</ref>

However, [[AbstractDark]] won the contest,<ref>https://youtu.be/YkXwFnGumD4</ref> so Rustam decided to use his part for a new hell-themed level - Devil Vortex. Rustam chose [[ToshDeluxe]] as the verifier of this level, who was a fairly skilled and well-known player. ToshDeluxe buffed the level to an Extreme Demon when he received it and started making some good progress in a fair amount of time, getting a record of 24-60% within a week. This montage was also slightly a 'preview' of Devil Vortex. However, because ToshDeluxe was also practising [[Artificial Ideology]] at that time, he did not make any more progress until a few weeks later.<ref>https://youtu.be/Umnr9CBNK9Y</ref>

Devil Vortex is a 2.0/2.1 Extreme Demon level by Rustam, hack-verified by ToshDeluxe on 21 April 2017.[1] It is known for its difficult, fast-paced gameplay and several straight-fly and mini-wave sections with very tight spaces. It is also notoriously buggy and inconsistent—a frequent feature in Rustam's levels.

As the original verification was illegitimate, many people considered Sunix the level's verifier, as he was the first person to beat the level with proven legitimacy.[2]

History

[edit | edit source]

Devil Vortex was somewhat started in Update 2.0 when Rustam entered Viprin's Creator Contest 7,[3] which was to decide the replacement for Manix648's part in Yatagarasu.[4] Rustam's entry featured fast-paced gameplay with many portal changes.[5]

However, AbstractDark won the contest,[6] so Rustam decided to use his part for a new hell-themed level—Devil Vortex. Rustam chose ToshDeluxe as the verifier of this level, who was a fairly skilled and well-known player. ToshDeluxe buffed the level to an Extreme Demon when he received it and started making some good progress in a fair amount of time, getting a record of 24-60% within a week. This montage could also be considered a 'preview' of Devil Vortex. However, because ToshDeluxe was also practising Artificial Ideology at that time, he did not make any more progress until a few weeks later.[7]

On 26 February 2017, after the first progress video, ToshDeluxe officially started practising Devil Vortex and achieved a record of 43%, reaching the gray half-speed cube section. He also noted that it was harder than Bloodbath.[8]

On 27 March 2017, about a month after the second progress video, ToshDeluxe achieved a respectable record of 15-64%, marking a short yet accomplished run.[9] On 21 April 2017, ToshDeluxe finally 'verified' Devil Vortex after roughly 5,000 attempts, a surprisingly low amount likely due to the short length.[1] However, he has gotten several hacking accusations, and rumours spread out in the community due to the verification video having several lag spikes and glitches, which caused several people to believe Devil Vortex was hacked. However, ToshDeluxe managed to defend himself with points, such as stating that invisible gravity portals caused the 'strange' movement at the mini-wave section in the level, and that sawblades rotating the wrong way were going the same way before a 'cut' in the video.[10] Eventually, ToshDeluxe would seemingly clear his name, and Devil Vortex was rated shortly afterwards.

On 23 July 2023, after over six years, zcylix would prove ToshDeluxe for semi-automating Devil Vortex. Unfortunately, his video did not fully explain the evidence correctly. Essentially, the key evidence was that particles emitted from the wave hit the ground or ceiling multiple times during gravity changes caused by blue pads. In contrast, when there are no gravity changes, these particles only emit the first time the wave makes contact with these surfaces.[11] This discovery makes it the verification of a level that took the longest to confirm as illegitimate. Sunix was the first legitimate victor on 1 July 2017.[2]
