W race between zunky pop and garbage bag

Just finished the whole level deco but obv not sure if its god since i havent gotten feedback. what should i change or is it good as it is? my first att at a rated level :)

i really cant see a possibility where grief becomes top 1 over the many top 1s being verified. if doogie wants to make it top 1, he needs to cut his losses and accept he wont verify the hyperbuffed version. all it needs right now is to be harder than ts2, which for a level like grief is a pretty low bar according to most top players, but if he takes a few more months, which is the most likely scenario imo, levels like sweeping demon II, heliopolis, society, exasperation and more could be verified. the community needs grief to be top 1. its the most anticipated level in the history of the game, holding that hype for now more than 2 whole years.

levels that threaten griefs top 1 spot:

heliopolis: zoink just got 49-100 and 34 in 7 days. if he decides to stick with the level it would prob take him a few months to verify it which is a very short amount of time when considering how unpredictable the grief verification is and how long its taken.

Society: popoff has 45 and 33-100, and recently showcased how he buffed it to top 1 and said its much harder than ts2, showing all the 120 fps and 240 fps frame perfects scattered in the level. and i think he learned his lesson from vehemence and will actually lock in on it this time. I havent heard any opinions regarding its difficulty compared to grief, but taiago recorded a frame window video for the new society so we will see how it compares to griefs frame window vid when it comes out

sweeping demon II: projected top 1, taiago has 86% and 250k attempts. also havent heard any opinions regarding the buffed version compared to grief but keep in mind taiago is extremely skilled having his hardest as thetop 4 tidal wave, while doggies hardest is silent clubstep or 2.1 acheron. considering this absurd attempt count for someone as skilled as taiago sweeping demon II could potentially be harder than grief although again i havent heard any top player say this.

Exasperation: zoink has 67% and 65-100 but is inactive on it since hes waiting for the decoration to come out. according to the ILL its harder than grief. the level i think drops significantly after 80%, cause it turns into a wave spam corridor that is very easy for zoink since hes good at spam, meaning hes really only 13% away from actually verifying it. If zoink really wanted to he fs could have verified the layout version a few months ago when he was grinding it.

kocmoc unleashed: prob not getting verified any time soon, but is harder than grief according to doggie. im throwing this one in cause arshadow could lock in and fluke it from 68 (he has a 19-91 run which is nuts) or grief could take so long to get verified that this level could come out before it does.

Lmk what you guys think. is grief gonna be top 1 or nah. if it is will it be the baby/nerfed version or the unnerfed version.
