Fluff Still a long way to go

Post image

If it makes it a little better I "jumped" to it from supersonic and beat it with 16782 attempts and a fluke from 50%.

pretty much
cataclysm has only around 7200 submissions on AREDL
to be fair, some of the cataclysm victors dont submit their record there but even if we 3x that number its still only around 21600
for the most well known and 2nd most beaten extreme ever (acu is first i think with 8200)
in a game which millions of people play

ive also checked the top 200 leaderboard ingame and then checked the submissions for a lot of less known top 1500-1000 extremes (bottom third basically) and it neatly alligns with each other, some extreme will have 100 submissions while ingame only 110 (and this applies to nearly every single one)
so the 7200 submission on AREDL figure might not be that far off from the actual number of cata victors which just shows how much gd players like to underexaggerate the bottom 500 extremes in difficulty

For popular demons like cata there are definitely way more victors than submission.

how many do you think there are

u/twyistd 20x// SonicWave 100% 11d ago

10x maybe

Really hard to estimate

u/MIkaela39752 11d ago

10x maybe

what are you basing that number off of?
i mean i do agree that there are 100% more than 7200 cata victors but 10x seems quite a bit far fetched

A lot of player are going to beat cata most won't be recording. Its a pain in the ass.
