Should You Jump To EXTREME DEMONS?

Can’t wait to jump from The Lightning Road to The Lightning Rod!

I like jumping, it keeps my legs in shape.

I'd say since GD is a platformer of sorts, jumping is generally a good idea if you want to beat any level

The answer is play what you want to play

I like jumping, that is how I beat the level jumper

from toe2 to tidal wave

As somebody jumping from a hard demon to Acu, only do it if you have the time and patience

honestly not jumping was the best decision i ever made. When my hardest was a medium demon i wanted to beat cerebral torment and no luck. Threw easily over 10,000 attempts into it without passing 50%. After beating a bunch of Hards and 4 Insanes, i got to working on my first extreme (Glisten) and beat it in an incredibly short amount of time. From me, I do NOT recommend jumping. You'll have a LOT more fun just playing at your skill level.

So many good points here. I think the reason people jump all comes down to impatience. They want to have the thrill of beating a truly difficult level, but they don’t want to go through the steps required to achieve such a thing. Then, because so many other people are jumping with moderate success, it enforces the idea that jumping is the best way to get you better at the game. Equally, (at least for really big jumps) I would say it’s for attention. I’d be lying if I said that my current jump I’m attempting from Glacier 15 to mobile Kuzureta isn’t at least partially for attention. Making an insane jump like this, I can already tell you, can be incredibly demotivating. It’s so easy to feel burnt out after a big jump in difficulty, because even if your jump was successful, you won’t have the skills and fundamental knowledge to continue afterwords. If you jump from an Easy Demon to Acu and then attempt a Hard Demon, you’ll probably have an extremely tough time with that hard demon. That’s because making a jump usually means forcing every section of the level to be engraved into your muscle memory until you eventually beat it, instead of having the already developed skills.

I never found jumping to be the beat way of improving, as gradually improving is a lot more sustainable. I literally had 14 insane demons before my first extreme.

its honestly the same with creating levels. i tend to get stuck needing to make the best level in the game instead of improving my creation skill methodically and it very quickly burns me out

i have a friend who jumped from acropolis to zodiac because of spaceuk, he beat it before the exposal and he was not happy when space got exposed because of space being his inspiration

I'm jumping from Sunset Sandstorm to LIMBO. I have 80% and 18–100, and I'm getting getting to the halfway point multiple times a day. However, it's taken over 150,000 attempts across nearly 2 years, and I'm incredibly burned out. It is exhausting to play this level and it's killed my desire to continue improving at GD. Anyone considering going a massive jump, please consider otherwise.

Hercs is probably shaking rn 💀

I jumped from ultra violence to magma bound and now im going magma bound to artificial ascent wish me luck

It’s like the phrase: Give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day, teach a man to fish, he’ll eat for a lifetime. Choosing to jump is giving a single fish, you beat a hard level, but you don’t have the skill to beat more, but if you practice up to the level you need to be at, you’ll do better at beating multiple hard levels.

I remember I went from starter insanes to starter extremes because high end insanes didn’t interest me. Now, high end insanes are some of my fave levels in the game

I remember when my hardest was problematic, I beat B which I didn’t consider harder, which I jumped to problematic from an insane called Dinosaur which took me 2190 att, B taking me half of that. From there I tried nine circle and thought what helix thought about Acheron, “hey this is pretty fun imma keep playing it” which started a 6 month journey with 2 month breaks and 8376 att until I finally jumped from problematic to nine circles, now I’m trying to beat windy landscape in which I have 63 and 43-100x4. Overall jumping heavily relies on you, the player. If you find a level you jumped to enjoyable, then sure go for it, but if you don’t enjoy the process or just anything about playing the level then don’t because it’ll simply not be worth the time you could be spending going for the slowly increase your skill set and beat progressively harder levels.

Well you have to jump hundreds of times to beat any level with cube, so I would say it’s worth it.
