You're awesome for including my goofy laugh in the JHM AAA video. Thanks 😂 This video brought back a lot of memories of when I actively played Stepmania from 2008-2012, and I had a few snippets to share: Although he isn't on this list, an honorable mention is Bahamut-X's Insane Cultists Edit 3p AAA from 2008: ua-cam.com/video/TxloIDsb9No/v-deo.html midare's accuracy was unmatched. He got a few AAAAA's (yes, all J4 ridiculous/J7 marvelous) on some charts, like A Little Plate's Rondo, and I'd have to say his best score was a 2p AAA on Mina's White Flag chart. WookE did have an AAA on St. Scarhand but it had worse MA (I think it was in the 90 range?) and then had a 1g score with 40s perfects. Bynary Fission also got an A on Disregard one-handed if I remember correctly. Probably the best one-hand player back in the day.
I've got to say, I really appreciate the effort you've put in to take sporadic content from well over a decade ago and offer it up as something far easier to really take in and get a feel for. Piecing together and showcasing the history of games like StepMania, which have such long and winding roots, is a great thing for the community. I hope more will come in the future. Thanks man.
chocomint's Made of Fire HDDT 98.54 full combo. Without a doubt, one of the most impressive plays ever set in osu! history, but one that takes some experience to appreciate fully. In the 12 years that this map has been ranked, chocomint's score remains the ONLY DT FC, and there's much more to unpack about this score. While some maps easily convey how difficult they are through the raw aim, or speed requirements, Made of Fire is much more nuanced than it may seem at first glance. To help illustrate just how difficult this play is, I would like to break down and analyze aspects of the map and the play itself. Right off the bat, we get a sense of the density of the notes, and the reading difficulty associated. With DT applied, the map becomes around 243 bpm, and approximately AR 9.67, a higher note density than most players are used to. Still, this should be manageable, but adding to the difficulty is the constant rhythm of, and spacing of the patterns which continues for the entire map. These would already pose a significant challenge to players' rhythm sense, reading, and finger control, but with hidden, the reading becomes MUCH harder. This is all bread and butter to someone like chocomint, who plays maps with similar patterns all the time, but everything we've gone over is just the beginning. Ask any top player what the hardest part of Made of Fire is, and they will all say the aim control. Many of the patterns in this map are continuous with strange velocity and angle changes, which need very fine adjustments in a player's aim to hit. None are more apparent than the various zig-zag patterns, which appear in the highest spacing sections. These require a player to aim to each note in a 1/4th beat time window, while potentially changing to an almost opposite direction. This is where chocomint shines, as almost no players have the level of aim control which he does. Bringing it all together is where the magic of this play really lies. DT alone makes the aim control barely in reach for any other player, but adding hidden makes these highly control-intensive patterns nearly impossible. Following the rhythm on such a map can be hard already as well, and trying to keep high accuracy, given the layout of the patterns, becomes ridiculous too. The real challenge is diverting focus between the aim aspect and the tapping aspects of the map, while keeping your reading in check as well. Keeping up with the map the entire way through to such a degree is exactly why chocomint's play is so astonishing. It's hard to put into words how much skill goes into a play like this, but to get an idea, I recommend trying the map for yourself. chocomint's HDDT score truly is in a league of its own when it comes to the aspects described earlier. Just over 2 years after it was set, some players are now approaching DT FCs, but not with nearly as high accuracy, and the majority lacking hidden. For now, it will remain a dream play for every top play, and a reality for chocomint. Hopefully this video has given you some more insight into, and appreciation of, one of osu!'s best plays of all time.
Dossar showed me this, and it makes me nostalgic as hell. I'm honored you thought one of my videos was good enough to be featured here! Though I'm a bit surprised it was picked over my Disregard video lol.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO Etienne! This is midare :) I feel so happy for those early days and it’s so wild to see how far people have come since then; rhythm games are awesome!
Man I'll never forget the first time I passed Fury of the Storm. Watching these vids back in the day was wicked inspiring. Thanks ofr putting these together. Blast from the past. I miss these days. I can't hang with the new school stuff.
Thanks for putting this together man! I was active playing this game and the communities at this time as well , long before I committed my life to playing insane rhythms in music irl instead of tapping them out. Was never very accurate but good enough to almost FC most of those hard berzerker charts and the faster Vertex’s. Miss the game sometimes , it’s been easily over 13 years for me. Hope everyone’s good!
Man, remember all of these, tons of good memories. There were so many scores that felt unbelievable when first posted. I remember how daunting St. Scarhand felt when first posted, it seemed insurmountable. Impossible to even pass. Then, years later I finally got an AA. 25 years since I got addicted to DWI\SM (and about 14 since I stopped playing seriously, it consumed so much time...). Wish I still had any speed\stamina. And I miss a bunch of my old ODI friends, hope everyone's doing well. Never had accuracy to submit good scores imo, just jacks lol. I wonder what the oldest I have is. Lots of undigitized DV tapes of garbo scores laying around, but probably re-recorded a million times.
what a fantastic trip down memory lane this was. Dossar's AAA on JHM was always just plain ridiculous to me, what a goddamn champ. Jumped in and quickly conquered the vibro-scene (is that even a thing) I remember wooke, thaor and izzy being the hyperlegends that were just untouchable. Dynamo was up there with them iirc In the later periods we had some Staiain and midare also - but i can't actually find staiains videos any more which is sad. He must have been the undisputed speed champ at some point thanks for the great video my man edit: I didn't actually know you were the guy who did St.Scarhand on AGDQ! That shit was so much fun.
The algorithm brought me here! The people who honed their stepmania skills to such an insane degree deserve a medal each. I've reached my ceiling on SoaD's Nuguns on 11 diff and couldn't get a better score than B or C. My score was so low cause I only played with one hand. Got so used to it I've never learned how to play with both lmao. Nevertheless, awesome video!
These dudes were like gods to me xD. I played stepmania. In fact, I still have some videos of that, which are 15 years old by this point. The best I could do was getting an A on Vertex Alpha
Dude, this video is super nostalgic, thanks for that. Very well compiled. Hopefully this will educate the newer players on who really set the bar for us back in the day.
With the parameters you set at the beginning of the video for ranking I paused and thought who would appear on this list twice? My guess was Thaor because when I was playing he was putting out insane scores. Glad to see I was right haha.
Holy shit the nostalgia... 1) Bluemystic - remember that video, that 1 perf was pretty lame haha. Dude was at one point considered the best 4 pad player in the world! And then customs happened haha... An old favorite :) 2) Wooke - woah I haven't seen that video but holy shit it looks impressive! I think he was the first or one of the first to pass 960 BPM speedcore. A pioneer for sure! 3) DossarLX - a revolutionary, at one point considered the best and fastest SM player out there. Vibrate master and a bro ;) 4) Thaor - had to be there, a definitely deserved a double spot on the list. At one point was the best pure spread player. Fury of the storm had to be #1 if St. scarhand was #2, I knew it ;) 5) IzzySM - the RA/MA Index God, had the dude on MSN messenger long ago. We only had a few talks though haha. A little sad that sakstern (Isaac) wasn't there. He was probably the fastest vibrator, even more than DossarLX... And on an old crunchy ass keyboard! AOAO (royal mix) in 1.5x rate comes to mind! ua-cam.com/video/e7QoHP2G7A8/v-deo.html IzzySM's AAAAA on ageha is also an honorable mention with an extensive judge 7 verification! NimaSM would have been a nice add too, especially raging at the one marvelous he got at Ageha! Haha... Bluemystic's high AA on disregard would also be great 😎
Isaac (Sakiish/sakstern) was definitely up there with other players like Henkz when it came to vibrating files. The joke that I made at the time inspired by a comment TeRa made was that Isaac "vibrated like fuc on a windows 98 pos keyboard lmfao" I know which video you're talking about for the Ageha Nima video ("F*** I can't believe it. Did it again! One f***ing marvelous!"), but Nima ended up being BS. Still amusing to watch his videos though (Vertex Gamma BS was ridiculously obvious, haha). Fun fact: ODI originates from his thread "Omg Did Insane". WookE was the first player to pass 960 BPM Speedcore, MIHC/Minami Ikebukuro Hardcore Custom, and One Minutes Edit to my knowledge.
@@ZebulonHollus speak of the devil, it's DossarLX lol. Yeah, i remembered that Nima being BS stuff haha. I can't find WookE's 960 BPM pass anymore :( Oh what about Mr. rubix?
Most of WookE's old videos aren't up anymore. I really wanted to find MIHC again so I could confirm if the burps during the video were purposely louder than the rest of the video. MrRubix ended up being scorewiped in 2012 after it was found his Death Piano AAA was done with a visual bot. Basically, there was replay data of a 8-1-0-2 score he got which showed abuse of frame placements that made no sense, and the conclusion was can't SDG without a bot, can't AAA without a bot.
I think wooke's blur should be #1. It's freaking ridiculous, I can't even imagine almost AAA'ing 480 bpm 8ths jacks on MEMBRANE keyboard (I haven't found this one great he made even while watching the video on 0.25x speed, but I guess it was on the jacks). St Scarhand and FOTS are way easier imho, even taking into account that they are very long. (sorry for bad English)
Didn't Reach AAA Arch0wl's blur like way, way, WAY back, in 2004/2005? I remember he got a low SDG FC at least. If he did, I think that should definitely be on this list, lol, because that came like 4/5 years before WookE.
No. The best score on blur before the WookE 1g FC was a low AA with several misses. (This is if you don't count a previous FC from WookE which I think was 6g)
he came close, reach is one of my best friends and he is insane at basically everything. including glow in the dark minigolf and zipline courses. * R E A C H T R I V I A *
as far as I don't want to insult/harm Arch0wl, I've heard a rumor (from some SM streamer's Twich chat) that he has edited Quasar's patterns to make them easier than in the original simfile. does this rumor even make any sense?
I wish I had my old Arch0wl score on vid, but I didn't really have a good camera back then. I AAAd it on index before Bahamut AAAd it on spread. I wanna say it was done on SMO so the score would have been preserved there, but the old SMO site is obviously long gone. Pretty sure it was the first AAA ever on that song. I think there were definitely some Bahamut-x scores that could have been in this video. Bluemystic posted an Azul rate score that was ahead of its time after he disappeared for a long time. ua-cam.com/video/q-o4DzNWonA/v-deo.html. Wookee's Magical 8 bit tour was absolutely insane for its time too. Didn't Thaor also have a AA on Higan Retour Oni ages ago, too, or am I tripping?
There were quite a few scores I would have loved to include but it was making me nuts how many times I was switching my list up haha. I'm not sure if Thaor got Higan Oni, I wouldn't doubt it though.
The most likely Bahamut-X video that would have been in this list would have been Insane Cultists 3p AAA. ThaoR didn't AA Higan Retour Oni. WookE got a 14 miss score in 2008, and I got an AA on it in 2009 (8 miss).
What would have been amusing is if Mina's OML 1.4 video from I think 2009 was included because it was related to irionman drama. Good times. tl;dr version irionman was being super arrogant and didn't have video evidence, Mina challenged him to play Toph's One More Lovely on 1.4 rate, and that he would get a better score on J4/L4 than if irionman played on J1/L1. Mina put up a video and I don't remember irionman following through.
You're awesome for including my goofy laugh in the JHM AAA video. Thanks 😂

what really is crazy about these plays are the fact that they played them on MEMBRANE KEYBOARDS like what the hell
you're stuck with the tech of your time

She actually goes by Lily these days. While there's still plenty of skill there, she's not the top-level speed demon she was before transitioning.
Andrew Blechinger yeah, still a legend that introduced me to rhythm games with the 2017 agdq run
as far as I don't want to insult/harm Arch0wl, I've heard a rumor (from some SM streamer's Twich chat) that he has edited Quasar's patterns to make them easier than in the original simfile.
does this rumor even make any sense?
Yeah, he edited out the crossovers lmao. I was aware of that before I made the script but still thought it was a very solid score nonetheless.
yes and no. the version without the crossovers is the one in the KBMP, so the one without crossovers = the one everyone has played.
Anobody can kill a man with 2 fingers ! pure monster xD
Great video
Was there a time you stop playing stepmania and how Long was it?
Usually at this point, I take 2 weeks/1 month off if I really feel like I need it. Can't say I've taken longer breaks than that in a while tho.
