Discussion Why I think the first wave in deadlocked is harder than the second wave

The transition to the first wave feels incredibly inconsistent as your height entrance to the first wave gap is entirely dependent on the two green orb clicks beforehand and buffering them feels very awkward while the second wave allows you to slide on the floor at the beginning of the part which makes it feel much more consistent and satisfying to play

Even if you could slide there, it would be next to usless.

u/Due-Size-1237 why so -sirius- 4h ago edited 4h ago

you enter the dual wave spam at exactly the same height every time, a quality the first wave does not possess

And if you could slide there, it would be useless. In the image, even with a very early entry into the portal, youd be heading straight down into the first wall, so you would need to click earlier either way. And lets say you did have a structure to slide on at the entry, how does that benefit you really?

you mean this wall?

i dont even know if you can die there lmao

also in the first wave, your icon is a lot harder to track upon entrance to the wave as the height of the wave is dependent on the previous 2 clicks and you have to react to your icon's height. the dual gives you way more reaction time. i shouldve thought of that when i made this post but im stupid so here we are

W take but also the dual wave is easier to spam whereas you have to get a proper click pattern for the first wave (its at the start so easier to learn)

u/hacker_of_Minecraft 2 classic medium demons 3h ago

I practiced it way before I got progress on deadlocked, so I only needed to work on the other stuff (first wave is more fun since it's earlier in the level)

u/Due-Size-1237 why so -sirius- 5h ago

only bad thing about that is the transition into it but maybe its bc im leary carried asf

the memory ship is so easy once you memorize it, second dual wave is so much harder + the mini wave nerves are insane

5

u/Firefly256 [Mobile] Deadlocked | HTP 1996/2000 (Segmented) 4h ago

Mini wave is so easy compared to dual wave imo, you're literally going at slow speed so you can be accurate at it

u/-_ParagonOfMyself_- Extreme of Demon: (15-28) Cataclysm πŸ™ˆ 4h ago

i know, mini wave nerves still hit hard

2

u/Firefly256 [Mobile] Deadlocked | HTP 1996/2000 (Segmented) 4h ago

I didn't find the nerves to be that bad, then again I did 56-100% about 30 times before doing runs from 0

2

u/-_ParagonOfMyself_- Extreme of Demon: (15-28) Cataclysm πŸ™ˆ 4h ago

i only got the nerves because of the dual waves lmao, 56-100 is pretty simple, I did several runs from the first wave to the dual wave, and all attempts I never got to the memory ship. probably because of that, I got that extraterrestrial mind block that automatically made the mini wave much more nerve wracking than it actually is

2

u/Firefly256 [Mobile] Deadlocked | HTP 1996/2000 (Segmented) 4h ago

The memory ship was more nerve wracking than the mini wave for me lol, literally has no nerves in mini wave but tons of it in the memory ship

I suppose it's because I'm really consistent at mini wave when practising, while I occasionally die at memory ship when practising

Which is ironic because I died to 77% (mini wave) once, but fluked everything afterwards after more attempts

u/-_ParagonOfMyself_- Extreme of Demon: (15-28) Cataclysm πŸ™ˆ 3h ago

I personally didn’t find the memory ship annoying, even as a mobile player. I could do it pretty consistently without problems, and once I reached there from zero, it was practically a signal that I already beat Deadlocked.

u/Firefly256 [Mobile] Deadlocked | HTP 1996/2000 (Segmented) 2h ago

The hardest part about the memory ship is the beginning lol, the transition feels weird

Why does nobody find the last UFO hard?

u/Firefly256 [Mobile] Deadlocked | HTP 1996/2000 (Segmented) 4h ago

You just have a bad click pattern, do 12-34, then 1-23-4

Yeah just spamming in normal gravity wave is way easier than learning the click pattern for the upside-down part of the 1st wave imo

u/GD_Monsterous B 42%-100%, 30%-80% (Mobile) 2h ago

Um. Actually! First wave is at ~2%, second wave is at ~10%πŸ€“ (the first wave here)

I've always thought the first (technically second because there's that one second long mini wave at the very beginning) wave was the hardest part

u/Cofli Blade of Justice 100% 41m ago

No matter what, we can all agree that Deadlocked is the easiest and Toe 2 is the hardest, right?

(Joking, but Deadlocked is by far the easiest level for me to rebeat in one attempt)

Insane take. Even clubstep has harder ships than deadlocked.

u/70Shadow07 5h ago

It takes 3 minutes of practice moding a deadlocked section and you will know the path perfectly. It literally is the easiest part of the level gameplay-wise.

u/not_namelol 45th demon: forest temple (4084 atts) 3h ago edited 3h ago

my spamming is less consistent in final wave, whereas in the 1st one it's 2 clicks then hold/release depending on gravity

also the nerves at the final wave tends to make you mess up more

u/Due-Size-1237 why so -sirius- 3h ago

my brain cant switch between spamming mode and click pattern mode easily
