[First pauseless victor!] The Art of the Blade 100%!

So yeah I decided I wanted to do something cool for maymory and I thought this’d be the perfect opportunity. This was the only list demon that hadn't been done pauseless so the idea of going for it like this was always very interesting to me. Thankfully unlike the other level I wanted to beat in a silly way (Launchpad Labyrinth) this level was actually really fun! This meant I was able to pull through with it and didn't care about getting it over with as fast as possible. I also fucking LOVE the execution of the theme in this level, the style is fantastic, the song representation is on point, and the gimmicks are really cool! My only issues with it are the green orbs at 32 and the invisible orbs at 59, everything else was very much enjoyable.
As for difficulty, I think with pausing it's overrated, it definitely felt easier than bloodlust and coral cave to me. WITHOUT pausing however there's the added difficulty of having to commit the paths to memory which definitely makes it harder by not by too much as this level gets pretty damn consistent.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this level regardless of if you go for it with or without pausing, I just think it's a really cool level that deserves more victors than it has rn.

Attempts: 7’177 + about 300 lost
Major fails: I honestly have no idea bc I don’t know if I properly did the memory until 98%, which I died to twice
Enjoyment: 9/10
Demonlist placement: 99
Comparison with levels I've beaten: Easier than Coral Cave harder than Terminux with pause. Easier than Omega Interface harder than Jupiter my Favourite for pauseless.
