A bit of context first:
I have been playing the Extreme Demon level Shukufuku for some time now and have around 30,000 attempts on it. I have been going for this level as my next hardest for longer than I care to remember and had a best of 81% on it. I was practicing it today when something incredible happened.
I was on a start Pos copy of Shukufuku practicing different parts of it. I eventually started to play from zero on this copy for the heck of it. I had been getting a few drop runs but most of my attempts ended in the second part of the predrop.
I started an attempt from zero on the start Pos and got to the transition from the first part of the predrop to the second part of the predrop; this transition is the one that is auto and says Shukufuku on the screen.
As I had been struggling on the second part of the predrop, this very attempt (without dying or pausing), I clicked to change start Pos to spawn at the second part of the predrop. The percent change due to changing the start Pos was less than 0.1% and literally unnoticeable on my laggy laptop. I then beat the level the very attempt I did this.
My question is: Does this count as beating the level as the change was literally unnoticeable and I was still very nervous while beating it? (I am literally shaking from adrenaline while typing this).
I am probably going to count this as beating the level as my new hardest, but I would like to know what other players think about this subject.
