FFFF — ULT 9 Sightread, Dive Failed

• ▸Single source: TrappyTheDemon's ULTIMATE 9 sightread of zts's FFFF (uploaded 2026-09-11) — the catalog's ULT 9 chart from Arc 2: A Past Best Untold, played as a CONNECT dive on the five-star Mad Mirror encounter (its own HIGH SCORE 000'097'773), with AYAME and ARIA flanking five cards.
• ▸The cross-check lands exactly: the result card's four rows — EXACT 933 + 82, NEAR 58, BREAK 74 — sum to 1,147, matching the catalog's ULT note split (tap 286 + hold 262 + field 443 + flick 156) judgement for judgement.
• ▸A fail, told honestly: the DIVE FAILED banner freezes the HUD at 091'020'986 with MISS GAUGE -3. It is a first registered score on the difficulty — HIGH SCORE read a dash before the dive and DIFFERENCE carries the full +091'020'986 — with rank A beside it and MAX LINK 124.
• ▸The card still settles and stays readable: ENCOUNTER RESULT 000'089'140 posts with a CONNECTED chip over four of five stars, and the IOTA strip is greyed to a DIVE FAILED placeholder — a failed dive leaves a card too.

One video backs every still below: TrappyTheDemon's In Falsus sightread of FFFF on ULTIMATE 9 (3:08, uploaded September 11, 2026). Deep links in each step jump to the matching moment.

The upload's auto-captions are effectively empty — two stray interjections across three minutes, no narration — so every fact below is screen forensics cross-checked against the song catalog. The capture carries the creator's live-stream badge on its left edge — avatar, "CrabbyTheDemon [12,875]" chip, PKTR tag, LIVE badge; recorder overlay, not game UI — patched out of every still where it appears (ten of eleven) with delogo interpolation fills measured on the 1600-wide stills: an avatar-only patch of 38x34 at x16/y314 on eight stills and a full-bar patch of 200x40 at x12/y309 on the banner and result stills; the opening-beam still caught no badge at all. The video itself is untouched and linked in full. Deep-link seconds follow the decode-accurate timeline of the upload and can land a frame or two off; every still was verified individually.

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: a 9 on DIFFICULTY ULTIMATE with HIGH SCORE still a dash, the jacket crediting zts with ILLUST U0 — and a CONNECT panel for Mad Mirror showing its own HIGH SCORE 000'097'773 over five stars with a CONNECTED chip and 4,900 / 10,200 in rewards, quoted as shown.

   

2. 2

   Load the CONNECT deck

   The loadout screen seats AYAME and ARIA on either side of five named cards — Our Perfect Summer, Orchestrator of Anarchy, Son of Disorder, 6AM and New Friend, each with its own stat pair — with the score reset to 000'000'000. No Assist Mode slot appears anywhere in the capture; the dive starts from this exact deck.

   

3. 3

   Open on the first field panel

   The first pattern lands early: a violet field panel riding the judgement line with an EXACT posting as the HUD ticks to 000'168'503 and the ENCOUNTER SCORE to 221. The lane keys read A S D F, with Umschalt on the left and Leer on the right — German system-locale key labels, quoted as seen.

   

4. 4

   Split the dual beams, catch the flick

   A violet beam and a pink beam hold two lanes while a gold flick hexagon bursts cyan-white at the bottom edge, judged EXACT with the HUD at 004'771'577 and ENCOUNTER SCORE 6,082. Flicks are the chart's smallest share — 156 of 1,147 — but they announce themselves exactly like this.

   

5. 5

   Take the full-width panel

   The mid-song set piece: one violet field panel spanning every lane from A to F on the judgement line, judged EXACT three times with the HUD at 016'804'334 and ENCOUNTER SCORE 22,747. A teal burst flares off its right edge as it clears.

   

6. 6

   Ride the twin crossing streams

   A cyan-white hold runs the A lane while a violet diagonal crosses in from the right, both judged EXACT at the line with the HUD at 033'841'594. The chart's 262 holds spend themselves in crossings like this one.

   

7. 7

   Hold the full-height beam

   A cyan-violet hold runs the whole height of the highway while gold flick hexagons spark along the bottom edge, judged EXACT with the HUD at 057'734'132 and ENCOUNTER SCORE 64,177. The field's 443 notes make these bottom-edge sparks a constant companion from here on.

   

8. 8

   Miss — and watch the BREAK post

   The honest turn: a violet diagonal crosses into the F lane against a wide pink beam, and a pink BREAK posts at the judgement line with the HUD at 082'184'076. It is not the only one — the card will count 74 — and each one drains the miss gauge this dive runs on.

   

9. 9

   Chase the side-lane flick

   A cyan tap and a gold flick burst light the Umschalt side lane beside a wide violet hold panel judged EXACT, with the HUD at 088'643'483 and ENCOUNTER SCORE 99,607. The gauge never recovers; the chart has 1,147 judgements and this run is nearly out of road.

   

10. 10

    DIVE FAILED

    The banner takes the screen over the emptied highway and the in-play HUD freezes at 091'020'986 — the number the result card repeats. A CONNECTED banner then rides the empty lanes before the card loads; the encounter posts its own verdict regardless of the dive's outcome.

    

11. 11

    Read the result card

    The card settles: SCORE 091'020'986 with rank A beside it, MAX LINK 124, HIGH SCORE a dash and DIFFERENCE +091'020'986 — a first registered score on the difficulty. The four rows — EXACT 933 + 82, NEAR 58, BREAK 74 — sum to 1,147, the catalog's ULT split exactly, and EARLY 16 + LATE 42 accounts for NEAR's 58. MISS GAUGE -3 sits under the card's DIVE FAILED banner; the IOTA strip is greyed to a DIVE FAILED placeholder; ENCOUNTER RESULT posts 000'089'140 with a CONNECTED chip over four of five stars, above a bottom bar reading AYAME 49.20% against ARIA's -352.84.
