The ratchet and clank music was a nice touch

I think osu has become another metaphorical "pp" measuring contest but I also think the attitude put out to the wider online community by select few osu community members should be considered. I don't see 1000pp plays as impressive any more for two reasons. The first one is the maps they are set on no longer male rhythmic sense to me, stuff like yomi yori, freedom dive suggest the song's rhythm by the way the note circles are placed as well as the decision of where to use streams and where or use jumps. Jumps the rhythm sounds "jumpy", same is clear on promethian kings and you better believe when the day comes for someone to finally FC promethian kings I'll remember it forever even if that play is not 1000pp. For me it is not the pp that matters it's what went into it and stream maps have seem to have that, they're long and fast, you need a crap ton of endurance and to really perfect the map because it goes on for so long and that's entertaining to watch. The usual 1000pp maps meanwhile, I find they don't have any of that. Most significantly they appear nonsensical to me, the jumps do not suggest the type of rhythm and even the streams seem to be nonsensically placed. It just seems like the mapper decided the place a bunch of 1 2's for some difficulty rather than because it fitted the song well. I get the impression that these maps are made by relatively speaking inexperienced kids, maybe I'm wrong about that but it's far from the case the people who watch osu content and enable its popularity will be knowledgeable about these aspects of the game so if it seems this way then it will be this way for all intents and purposes. There is afterall 500k+ 6 digits and under 100k counting the rest. So one may assume at least a sizeable portion of the views would come from those players. As one of those, I don't understand more technical aspects of the game well. I don't see 1000pp, I just see "chaotic jumps with no rhythm, this does not interest me" The other thing I would say is that the osu community is "toxic"; not all of it of course that would be irrational. Nevertheless exposure +ve or - ve can impact ones opinion of a given thing and sadly a select minority of osu players (at least they seem to be osu players) have made it their life's work to intentionally go into other communities and create discord among its members, I've experienced that personally and it has without question caused me to adopt a somewhat negative view of the osu community and get less enjoyment out of things associated with it such as top plays because it's gone from admiration and respect for those players for having the mental fortitude to push the game to such absurd levels to a sense of confusion albeit with respect (because it's still impressive as heck, if you can't see that nothing will impress you) but confusion in the form of "I respect you for this but... Why, why would you be such an idiot to dedicate this much time to something associated with so much toxicity. I am not sure if this is the true nature of things, it's possible the aforementioned people causing problems are actually lying about being from the osu community and are trolls who wish to shine the osu community in a bad light for whatever reason but in my case and possibly others it's extremely effective because I am very well aware of how strict the osu staff team is on toxicity within their community so when you have what seem to be beyond reasonable a group of osu players doing exactly that in the communities you are in it, leaves an extremely bad impression. Simply put for me and maybe others similar, the osu community has gone from being "those guys who do truly impressive things with circles and sliders and don't bother anyone to "those guys who do truly impressive things with circles and sliders but who are actually some serious assholes under all of that gold leaf" Idk whether that helps but that's my opinion as someone that watched osu plays for around the time the top 10 players looked like this angelsim, _index, HDHR, Wubwoofwolf, rrtyui, TheLewa, Isokasapupuja, hivick225, Sayonara-Bye and I completely forgot the name of the last one

It’s obvious asf that once the colors were changed to white that it was bots….. your just in denial. And that’s from someone who has no disdain either way

不支持,视频太偏见

seeing the pmd badge RIGHT there is so satisfying (:

Community full of unemployed people and botters 😴

I can't wait for r/place 2027 to just be a pink circle

Wb corsace or the roundtable

This is Peak

too good of a vid for osu

I have have the feeling that the top players are so far away from normal players skillwise that they can’t even comprehend what is going on When I started playing there was a point where I could start to understand what playing big black or freedom dive entailed It’s all just fling the cursor around anf click really fast to me now It’s sad bcs those things might be impressive to me if I could grasp them

Drawing frames of Bad Apple was totally worth it.

tohou fans making bad apple while Canadians struggle to make a leaf 21:13

i think another reason ppl focus too much on pp is cus there are just so many more osu players setting more scores on more maps. it's hard to filter through it all when i started, i had played most hard maps, so i knew firsthand how impressive a play was as soon as a heard a player fced it. also feel like i knew way more players back then

all fun and games until Doremy sets a 1k on Asteroid Field of DECAPLETS +HR, now THAT is a 1k that absolutely EVERYONE will be impressed as fuck by

I don't get the 727 thing about 9 minutes in. Can somebody explain that one to me?

ill miss you 1000pp godmode😢😢

"dedicated and passionate" you mean fucking jobless?

This hoe biased as fuck

You have a really good point in the vid and I find it very high quality and i gotta say i rewatched this video 3 times just because of the high quality content. I think this vid should get a lot higher views with this amount of effort.

johnporler got unbanned btw

Algorithm designed in Java: The Longest Standing osu! Player of All Time

1000pp does not mean you are a good player. prime example is themagicanimals who is an awful memorization-based raketapper with 0 skill. then again we have pablohh true master of his alt skillset not even having a 900 and i can tell u now pablohh would crush magicanimals in any tourney.

Why you glazing osu so much lmao, also some of them were botting

That feels artificial. It wasn't beaten out of love for the game, It was beaten because someone coughed up enough money to induce no lifing the map. That doesn't feel the same, that feels like a business deal and ultimately admitting defeat cus it can't be done without throwing money at people. The nature of the atmosphere is further evident from how people talk about the victor. Everything will freeze and freedom dive didn't have that toxic bitter atmosphere and it shows how the community changed for the worst late 2010s to early 2020s

This is a great video Birch! Thanks to people like you the osu yt community is still alive

Amazing video as always 😈 b1rch the goat

727th like

I feel like one thing top players can do to fix the mentality on scores is by setting plays that the general audience can't ignore. Like if they stray away from the aim and speed slop, and try to play maps that are more focused on multiple skill sets then it would be more impressive. Like lets say a map is filled with 9* jumps, and the filler is easy 5-6* speed/stamina, sure it's impressive they can hit the jumps, but it wouldn't be as impressive if the map was filled with sections that are 8* jumps, 8* speed, and 7* stamina. I think the fault does sort of fall on the top players AND the audience. Top players who are good at one skill set, focus on that skill set and set top plays with it, and people will think that the map they played is slop for whatever skill set they are good at. But if the top player branched out and focused on more skill sets and played a map that may not have as high a skill ceiling as the other map, but had multiple mid-high skill ceilings, then it would be way more impressive.

personally i think they should go back to ppv1

this video style is so cool 10/10 👍

At this point tournament performances are more accurate in measuring skill than pp because of how much farming matters

B1rch! It's been a long time since I last played the game and actually enjoyed it but the one thing I actually enjoy is watching ur videos. Your videos improved a lot, keep grinding \o/

When i got the game almost 4-5 years ago, I was mesmerised when i saw even the most mediocre plays on the most weirdest maps. It mesmerized me because of the map itself, never the PP. I have been on and off the game, but i still found lots of amusement, goals, pleasure and a motive to play the game, looking up at players who have set insane scores, fast paced, long streams, even weird gimmicks like gn's unforgiving flashlight map. It really has inmspired me to keep pushing for the game, the level between me and the top players, the scores i was setting. It was all a perfect recipe for someone like me to improve and get a score i enjoyed. Recently, It hasnt been the same. I usually get on osu to burn off energy hitting rapid notes or playing long streams for 20-30 minutes and calling it quits. Exceeding barriers has been amazing to see on osu, even if they were niche and hybrid scores that somehow make it to the top. I twas fun looking at something off meta reaching the top. You cant really blame anyone for the current state of farming on osu, its simply a competition to hit number 1, and the best way to do it is from a really shitty and boring method, Maps have slowly designed themselves to be relative to PP, it doesnt reflect a song. Mapped music in the past took the aspects of the song, and reflected it into a map/physical variation that seemed like interaction between the map and the music (long consistent notes would have streams, fast janky tech music would be very chaotic and something unique to play). Now its gotten to the point to where the map and notes played doesnt reflect the actual song or music anymore. Its hard to play a song that hypes you up with a challenge when it is all the same visually and mechanically Its been the same patterns, same mechanics, same bar rising up. This game wont be fun for me anymore if even the top 100 of players want to play a map just for some number to go up, I want to relate to a top player by experiencing a hard map and being like "wow, this person has spent alot of time and effort to complete and be the best among this map". Theres no motivvation, OSU is a great great game. I never would truly quit from it, just hoping that there is a time in the future where a score isnt determined from a number, but the mapping style and song itself

7:55 loving the emplemon reference here

For me as a beginner, even a 100pp play is very good. But that will change once I get there. As you get stronger you need new goals and in this case that probably means 2000pp as a goal.

Every game hits the sad threshold where nobody cares about impressive achievements unless its literally the best of the best

You remind me of my bimmer

4:48 this is how i found out jappadekappa is already a 1 digit

10:00 the Germans were the same

i did not watch the whole video before commenting :tf:

3:11 me when Intercambing | Wakeshima Kanon - Tsukinami [Nostalgia] (Reform, 8.61*) +DT 99.42% FC | 932pp | 65.62 cv. UR | Tied Vaxei's acc!

12:21 that's why I think attaching the replays to the posts is important (especially for less obvious maps.) Not saying it's gonna change much about people looking only at number, but at least it gives them a chance to witness the play itself.

wild idea: ban the cheaters who are setting cheating 1ks and making legit 1k setters feel undervalued

zesty ass goggles

it would become more special when you ban all the cheaters cheating 1ks

its because too many cheaters have set them that we cant trust any 1k pp play anymore

9:00 flashlight meta will fix osu trust
