eyy onilink, i’m a fan of your level. it has a nice and chill atmosphere, but energetic at the same time. i hope you make more bangers like tidal wave!
If nine circles levels can be defined as levels that are primarily centered around a wave gamemode at the songs beat drop, then Tidal Wave is technically a nine circles level. But it also doesn’t have any notable flashing colors or effects that add to the difficulty and pretty much define most other nine circles levels, so calling Tidal Wave a nine circles level is like calling a motorcycle a car.
tidal wave is a wave based level not an nc level, by that logic slh was the hardest nc level in 2021 and 2022 and kenos was the hardest from 2019-2021 (before slh was verified)
To be fair, many counts SLH and Kocmoc for nine circle levels 'cause "the NC concept is a hard wave part at the drop". And tbh, it's kinda true, but not at the same time. I would count Kocmoc as a half nine circles level imo.
basically, a nine circles level is a level with wave effects like nine circles by zobros, but we slowly change the meaning of what it is. now basically all levels with wave and pulses are considered nc
@@aXOzen87 ooooh KOCMOC is a good one. It’s so flashy on full detail at the drop, honestly ima call KOCMOC a nine circle level to those who think this is nine circle.
@@sonicwaveinfinitymiddwelle8555 its definitely not, it doesnt have any wave pulsing nc effect, it doesnt have a ship part before the wave. Its not even intended to be nc
I always assumed that "NC" Levels were categorised based on the pulse-y decoration style in the wave part, not just there being a long wave part at the drop.
I think my man here meant the hardest NC level released in one year without taking into consideration the levels in previous years or else he would have to include Sonic Wave 3 times since Bausha Vortex is a lot easier and Arctic Lights has hack-verified
Wave gameplay doesn't make an NC level. It isn't unique to NC. By that logic VSC is an NC level. Tidal wave doesn't have the nine circles type dubstep ear crusher music, neither does it give you nine seizures.@QuesKosta
Aquatic Auroras didn't place on the Demonlist until June 9th 2020, and it was easier than Arctic Lights. Arctic Lights was never the hardest NC in 2018. Endlevel hacked it in that year, and it only got verified legitimately in 2019 by MetalFace221 (his verification video is private because he didn't want his reaction to become the next Npesta Kenos reaction) Edit: someone else said this, but Nine Circles was created in 2015, not in 2014 like the thumbnail says. (Why would there be advanced stuff like that in 2014, most 2014 early 1.9 levels were TOE 2 clones)
@@Royale9 imagine if the sole reason why Tidal Wave isn't rated yet is because RobTop thought it was an average Nine Circles level that is not a buffed remake of another old NC level lol
@@OppositionExpunged no, no it isnt. the nine circles effect is present nowhere in the level. a level being prominently wave does not make it nine circles,
Isn't a nc supposed to have flashy light things like sonic wave and sakupen circles? Otherwise by other logic slh is an nc bc it has a difficulty spike at the wave drop, though its not mostly wave and there's equal ship ig
Is this like the hardest nc levels verified in each year? Because 5:25 Aquatic Auroras is easier than Arctic lights, and 3:06 Baysha Vortex is easier than Sonic Wave.
sometimes levels are remakes levels of NC levels (like sonic wave infinity) but at that point they don't seem like nine circles levels anymore because they lack the wave with the specific epileptic colour effect
The hardest Nine Circles level could be considered Nightmarish by izofdoors or Meth Death X because you didn’t specify if a level had to be beaten or rated, anyway the real hardest NC level is Sakupen Circles by DrCuber and more because most people wouldn’t consider Tidal Wave a NC level
i do think tidal wave is a nine circles bc in the first wave they use the effect in a different way, the effect does not need to be purely visible + it doesnt need to be all red
I think slaughterhouse is different because slaughterhouse has more short waves like rivers is only a few seconds and small wave parts in the second half and the first wave which is also fairly short but tidal wave has more longer consecutive wave parts but I don't think it's nc level but slaughterhouse is definitely not because it also has more of a mix of game modes like ship and cube to break it up the wave parts but tidal wave is more like medium to long range wave then other gamemodes
To everyone who says that Tidal Wave isn’t a nine circles level, nine circles levels are basically just wave-focused levels with some kind of energetic flashing effect in the wave. Tidal Wave is definitely wave focused, and the pulsing glow lines in the foreground make it flashy enough to count as an NC level.
I think you showcased the wrong Tidal Wave copy because it looks like it was before the buffs (Ex. 10:28 & 11:44 respectively being significantly easier than the version Zoink verified)
3:06 now sonic wave is considered harder😢(I like Bausha more), and is ranked higher on demonlist 5:26 same thing as Bausha and Sonic Wave, now Arctic lights is ranked higher on the demonlist
this is how an nc lvl is like you have that one cube part then that one ship part then the drop or the wave part then the ending cube section tidal wave is not an nc lvl because it does not consist of that one ship part (yall know what im talking abt) p.s an nc lvl needs that pulse effect for the objects and the bg it just gives the level life
@@GwAsus Yeah I know, I was just explaining as to why their argument on why Tidal Wave wasnt an nc is flawed, not to say that Tidal Wave is nc (because it isnt)
So that there’s no confusion, what do you guys think is the definition of a Nine Circles level? Mine is: A level that begins with a pre drop section usually containing a cube part, ship part, ball part, and some kind of build up, followed by a very long wave section with epileptic decoration that flashes black and another color. Tidal Wave is not Nine Circles.
Its only an nc level if it has similar structuring and effects it doesnt have to be the same but tidal wave is not an nc level in any way aerial gleam is because it has similar effects Edit:TIDAL WAVE DOESNT EVEN HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE STRUCTURES
2023-2024 is technically centipede because its [meant] to be top 20 on pdl plus tidal wave isnt nine circles, and the 2.1 version of centipede is a nine circles level. damn i wrote an essay for highschool on philosophical subjects

Calling tidal wave a nc level is like calling every level in 1.0 a stereo madness level.
Tidal wave has 1 nc effect in 1 part and it goes for like 4 seconds
It’s not really even a nc effect because the alternating colors don’t even flash at all like in a proper nc level

To everyone who says that Tidal Wave isn’t a nine circles level, nine circles levels are basically just wave-focused levels with some kind of energetic flashing effect in the wave.
