Altered Edge — ULT 9 Sightread

• ▸Single source: TrappyTheDemon's ULTIMATE 9 sightread of satella's Altered Edge (uploaded 2026-09-10) — the catalog's ULT 9 chart from Arc 1: The First Lie, played as a CONNECT dive with NIA paired to PASSEDBY.
• ▸The cross-check lands exactly: the result card's four rows — EXACT 1012 + 76, NEAR 34, BREAK 41 — sum to 1,163, matching the catalog's ULT note split (tap 176 + hold 414 + field 415 + flick 158) judgement for judgement.
• ▸A clear, not a full combo: 41 BREAKs and 34 NEARs end any FC claim. HIGH SCORE read a dash before the dive and DIFFERENCE repeats the full +095'013'910 — a first registered score. MAX LINK 175, MISS GAUGE 15.
• ▸Capture quirk, quoted as seen: the upload ends mid count-up, so the card's last readable score is 089'379'205 while the in-play HUD froze at 095'013'910 — and no rank letter appears anywhere on the card.

One video backs every still below: TrappyTheDemon's In Falsus sightread of Altered Edge on ULTIMATE 9 (2:48, uploaded September 10, 2026). Deep links in each step jump to the matching moment.

The capture carries the creator's live-stream badge on its left edge — avatar, "CrabbyTheDemon" viewer-count chip, PKTR tag and LIVE badge; recorder overlay, not game UI — patched out of every still where it appears with delogo fills measured on the 1600-wide frames: six stills caught the avatar medallion alone, three caught the full bar, and two caught no badge at all because the overlay fades in and out. The video itself is untouched and linked in full. The side-lane key labels read Umschalt and Leer — the player's system locale, quoted as seen. The upload ends during the result card's count-up, so the card's score is quoted from its final readable frame.

Levels and the note split come straight from the site's song catalog (game version 1.0.2c) — the numbers the result card is checked against in step 11, to the judgement.

1. 1

   Confirm the chart: ULTIMATE 9

   The detail screen states the terms plainly: a 9 on DIFFICULTY ULTIMATE with HIGH SCORE still a dash, the wind-turbine jacket crediting satella — and a CONNECT panel pairing NIA with PASSEDBY at DIFFICULTY RATING 58, showing 2,200 and 3,300 in rewards. The panel is quoted as shown; how the encounter scores itself is not read into it.

   

2. 2

   Meet the CONNECT pair

   Before the first beat, the CONNECT screen slides the five equipped memories along the rail: NIA — the white-haired student in uniform — stands on the left, the PASSEDBY partner still a white silhouette on the right. The score corner reads 000'000'000: nothing judged yet.

   

3. 3

   Wait out the opening wedge

   The highway fades in with lanes labeled A S D F, the side pads reading Umschalt and Leer on this player's system, and the song chip confirming ULT 9 at SPEED 7.00. One purple wedge rides lane D while the score is still zero — the intro buys a clean look at the lane layout.

   

4. 4

   Read the gold hexagons

   The first field cells arrive as gold hexagons on the pads, judging EXACT EXACT at combo 156, score 013'195'326. The ENCOUNTER SCORE chip reads 12'944 with one star lit — field objects here judge like ordinary pads, so play them as taps, not decoration.

   

5. 5

   Hold the side lane

   A teal hold stretches onto the F-side pad while a wide purple wedge crosses the main lanes at 022'477'330 — and a red BREAK lands on the crossing. The hold survives; the wedge does not. First sightreads bleed here because the side pad pulls a thumb off the home row.

   

6. 6

   Split the twin beams

   A tall cyan beam rises down the center at 041'597'168 while a purple wall runs along the rail, a gold hexagon waiting on the pad between them. The chart stops asking for single presses and starts asking both hands to divide the lanes.

   

7. 7

   Take the full-width panel

   The chart's signature object: one purple trapezoid widens until it covers the entire highway, judging EXACT NEAR as a green triangle passes above at 058'446'931. It reads as a wall but judges as a single press — trust the lane bed, not the width.

   

8. 8

   Flick the yellow diamonds

   Yellow flick diamonds ride in beside a long cyan hold at 071'917'589, EXACT EXACT landing while the hold is still down. The flicks sit on the beat, not between it — late flicks are where NEAR counts pile up in this chart.

   

9. 9

   Absorb the late BREAK

   The second half keeps taking its cut: a red BREAK flashes between a purple wall and a cyan beam at 085'913'194. The run ends with 41 BREAKs and 34 NEARs on the card — this chart punishes tired hands right to the final bar.

   

10. 10

    Take the DIVE CLEARED banner

    The final note lands and the banner settles it: DIVE CLEARED over the emptied highway, the HUD frozen at 095'013'910. No second banner follows — the capture cuts straight from this moment to the result.

    

11. 11

    Read the result card

    The upload ends during the count-up, so the card is read off its final frame: EXACT 1012 + 76, NEAR 34, BREAK 41 — summing to 1,163, the catalog's ULT split exactly. MAX LINK 175, MISS GAUGE 15, HIGH SCORE a dash, DIFFERENCE +095'013'910. The score display itself stops at 089'379'205 mid-count. The ENCOUNTER RESULT strip reads 000'128'546 with a CONNECTED chip, the IOTA row marks a First Clear, and no Assist Mode slot appears anywhere on the card.
