Sephiroth Ultra is a level that I have known for a while now, but only recently began to love. It is an extended remake of Nick24’s old impossible level “Sephiroth.” Although Sephiroth Ultra was released 8 months ago, it was rated only 2 weeks ago. Regardless, Soup did Nick24’s level justice with the numerous clean designs and neat effects.

To start with, Sephiroth Ultra features some amazing 1.9 decoration. Most of the designs in the level are rather basic, but Soup pairs the designs with beautiful effects. For example, he gave the blocks in the ship at 9% a neat waving effect with glow pieces. There is another example in the ball at 48% where the basic block designs are enhanced with beautiful pulses and the pulsing hexagons throughout the entire part. However, the best example of Soup’s effects bringing the part together is in the part at 90%. The structures in the part are made out of the transparent blocks, but Soup made a beautiful pulsing glow pattern that was made to fit within the structures. Soup was not afraid to fill this level with wonderful effects, making this level very special.

Additionally, Soup paired the excellent decoration with incredibly fun gameplay. The level was intended to be Extreme Demon, however the gameplay seems a bit too easy for this difficulty. There are some challenging parts, and they are not too difficult. However, the gameplay is still incredibly fun. I personally think Sephiroth Ultra is one of the most fun levels in the game as I cannot stop replaying the level.

Soup truly outperformed himself with both the decoration and gameplay in this level. Sephiroth Ultra has some of the best looking decoration and some of the most fun gameplay that the limitations 1.9 can give. I am ecstatic that this level has finally gotten the rate that it deserves, and I am excited to see what Soup26 makes next.
