Destr0yer — ULT 9 Chart Guide

• ▸ULT 9 is mid-pack by level but note-dense by feel: 1,182 notes (210 tap · 345 hold · 314 field · 313 flick) barely pause between phrases.
• ▸The chart's identity is staircase-shaped wide holds plus yellow flick arrows, with hexagonal gate rings firing on the side keys.
• ▸Breaks cluster where wide holds cross stream bursts — anchor the hold hand first. Even the reference sightread dropped 30 notes.
• ▸The run still cleared: rank AA at 096'024'733, and the judgement rows (1044 + 74 EXACT, 34 NEAR, 30 BREAK) sum exactly to the catalog's 1,182.

Every fact and screenshot on this page comes from one video: TrappyTheDemon's first-play sightread of Destr0yer on ULTIMATE 9. The capture is a clean full-screen recording — no facecam, no overlays — so the HUD, judgements and result screen can be quoted directly.

Two honest-scope notes: this is a sightread, not a farmed score — the HUD reads SPEED 7.0 with a German key mapping (Umschalt/Leer side lanes), and the run admits 30 BREAKs and 34 NEARs. The FBD 12 chart is not shown in the video, so that level is quoted from the song catalog only.

Levels below come from the song catalog; the note split is the ULT chart's, and the sightread on this page judges every one of those notes. The FBD chart exists at level 12 but is not covered by this footage.

The walkthrough below follows the dive in order. Each step is one screenshot from the source video, and the credit link under every image jumps straight back to that moment — open it side by side and the chart explains itself.

1. 1

   Pick Destr0yer at ULTIMATE 9

   The song card shows the empty high score that marks a first run: no practice, no memory of the chart — the honest kind of sightread. Destr0yer sits in Arc 4: The Hand of Calamity, credited to Sakuzyo feat. Nikki Simmons.

   

2. 2

   Read the opening snake

   The chart opens deceptively calm: one long snaking hold line over the A S D F key lanes with the score still at 000'000'000. Use these seconds to settle your hand position — the density arrives fast.

   

3. 3

   Trace the staircase holds

   Destr0yer's signature shows up early: wide hold ribbons shaped like staircases that step across the lanes while you keep tracing. Hold the anchor key and re-press as the ribbon shifts — the EXACT chain at combo 20 here stayed clean.

   

4. 4

   Expect the first BREAK before the halfway mark

   Around the 49-second mark the red BREAK appears: a stream tap under a tracing wide hold drops the combo. This is the chart's recurring trap, and it repeats — the run finished with 30 of them, so plan to recover rather than panic.

   

5. 5

   Snap the yellow flick arrows

   Yellow triangular arrows with motion trails are flicks: a short directional swipe instead of a tap. Destr0yer scatters them between hold anchors precisely where your grip is busiest, so practice the swipe-then-regrip motion in isolation.

   

6. 6

   Split your hands for the twin wide holds

   Mid-chart, two wide holds open on opposite sides of the playfield while hexagonal gate rings fire under the D and F keys. Assign one hold per hand and let the gate taps ride on free fingers — reaching across here is how combos end.

   

7. 7

   Survive the EXACT stream burst

   Past combo 100 the chart pivots to raw streams: white tap bursts rattling four EXACT judgements across the line in a breath. Keep wrists loose and aim for the centre of each lane rather than chasing the sparks.

   

8. 8

   Cross the gold and purple holds

   The peak: a gold wide hold and a purple wide hold cross paths over the same lanes at combo 120. The trick is ordering — take the ribbon that lands first, park it, then slide to the second without lifting the first hand early.

   

9. 9

   Land the last cap

   The final phrase empties down to one last hold cap. The score freezes at 096'024'733 with combo 37 intact — whatever the middle of the run did to you, this landing is free if you save stamina for it.

   

10. 10

    Take the DIVE CLEARED

    The banner confirms the dive survived — a clear on the first attempt, even with 30 breaks along the way. In Falsus judges clears on survival, so a messy clear still books the song's completion.

    

11. 11

    Read the result like a score sheet

    The DIVE RESULT screen shows rank AA at 096'024'733: EXACT 1044, EXACT 74, NEAR 34, BREAK 30 — those rows sum to exactly 1,182, the catalog's ULT note total, confirming nothing slipped past unjudged. MAX LINK 264 and MISS GAUGE 14 round out the damage report.
