I will never get tired of shigetora, and nowadays mrekk, having a "people are having a really hard time FCing this map nomod, so how I about I casually FC it with HRHD or DTHD?" moment. Also, calling Poland an underdog is a bit of a stretch, since Poland has been consistently a top country throughout the history of the game.
@@launchh, I didn't really mean in OWC specifically, but if you look at the population of Poland, they have a rather impressive number of top players, most of whom have held relatively top ranks for an amazingly long time, and they all seem to be pretty good friends as well. I always found the Polish osu! scene quite fascinating. Perhaps it's just me.
@@tarragon111 nah I just have a small keyboard. My tablet is to the right and I use the end of my keyboard. I decided to do that to keep my keyboard good since I won't use it other than osu. Also I'm a hover player.
I really appreciate the Hectique clip at 14:05, I found him through his calamity speedruns, and thought it was so cool that he had some super unique osu! scores
ohhhhhhhhhh so that's how i found Hectique, i have him followed on twitch but i never really remembered following him but brushed it off because i also played terraria but now i remembered him haha
This video was great, I'm not an osu! standard player (I play mania) but I still sat through this whole video, loved the editing and the overall explanation of each player rising up over the years!
I've watched a lot of videos about the History of osu!, and this video has been recommended to me by UA-cam about 3 times, although I've watched many with the same topic, I don't regret watching this it's really entertaining and well made and edited :D ❤️ Liked and Subbed!
@@Waffle_6 This video wasnt very in-depth. It just breezed through some important instances but left out alot. It was made in a a zoomer style which is honestly fine since that way it will appeal to more people. Also there used to be an osu pixelated history video which I cant seem to find but it was very high effort. Honestly I could find more info from Vertos shitposts than from this vid. Still a great vid nontheless.
Great video, missed a lot but it's hard to get so much content in a 20 minute video. Watching some of these moments like rafis #1, angelism #1, UK barely scraping to TB, vaxei #1, idke uta hr and #1, and much more sent chills down my spine remembering them.
As an osu! virgin that started right in the Farm Map Explosion Era that is 2018, this history lecture is interesting, substantial, and really cool. It's a trip down memory lane, but not with my own memories, and along the history of osu that I was not aware of. Epic video, sir launch. Have a sub, and have a beautiful evening.
Osu has always felt like one of those Japanese games that simply exist. You know the ones, the wildly-popular games that feel like they had no release date, no developer, just software that spawned into the world one day. Touhou, Project Diva, Idolm@ster, all these games with insane amounts of players and/or hentai are extremely interesting in their history and connection with the human experiment, even if they all decrease the likelihood of your ancestors smiling down on you by 200%. The difference with Osu is that you have to add the girls into the game yourself, putting those odds all the way up to 300%.
Apostol was good friend of mine back then in 2017, we both was around 4-5k pp at the moment but at the end of the year i left the game but looking at apostol now I realize that maybe i should've stayed. Remember him getting his first 400pp play peeposad
Since necrofantasia I started crying with some clips bc that was when I start to play, very nostalgic for me I love this video it bring me a lot of memories again thank you
I think the most interesting part of this to me was barely knowing anything before 2018 (this is when I started playing) and then knowing a lot about the history past that, knowing that I was part of the community for a lot of it
It's really crazy to see that osu! Exploded In all these years. All these moments that have happened in this game are always nice to look at! Especially that you can put so much training and time into this "circle clicking game" is abnormal and also, from my own experience, super fun! You have once again surpassed yourself and uploaded a super good video! It was a lot of fun to watch! 10/10 😄
17:55 "south korea gets 3rd place, their very first time in the top 3" south korea got 3rd place in the 1st owc already, and won the owc 3 years in a row after this
@@launchh fair but south korea got 2nd place, not 3rd place and it takes 2 secs to research on the official website and the footage and screens you show on screen shows what you're saying is incorrect also i think it's a bit too bad that you didn't really tackle more on the earlier days of osu, but i understand it'd have taken a lot more time to make and so on no hate though, i think it's nice that people take initiaives to create osu content and you can only improve your content with time!
15:30 While there have been greater moments this is my favorite one of my most favorite osu! moments Fieryrage screaming "IT'S COMING HOME IDKE" and idke fucking singing as well oh this and btmc nearly having a heart attack after being the first FC on raise my sword
this game has consumed numerous time from me even tho I don't really play it nowadays, I still love to see people make this kind of video, big pleasure to watch, amazing work out there
I think because maybe prt 3 and xooty should've been mentioned here, that was both crazy and also a 1kpp play that does not use dt, but otherwise great vid edit: oh, and paraqueet maybe deserved a mention just for passing maps that SHOULD NOT be passed, but minor stuff overall
About the "could osu be an esport" question, I don't see why not. We've been having tournaments for about a decade now, and to me it seems like one of the most clear cut "competition" games with different playstyles and fun moments.
My God, so many good memories. I started back in October of 2013. Was introduced as a game to play while in champ select for league. All my friends got into it and I thought league was getting replaced. Thing is all my friends went back to playing league while I no lifed the shit out of osu. So many good friends. I ended up befriending the best Brazilian player at the time going by Henarca, I played multi with Azer the best Canadian player, and I also befriended Chrononigga who became one of the top Canadian players and went to a local HS. I met a guy on local chat who ended up meeting his SO on local chat. So much fun. Sadly I have no more time for vidya, but I can't say I don't miss the good times. Started when I was 14 and I'm 23 now.
Osu could be an esport cause most games need skill juts like osu cause u don't need just to click the circle you need aim and fast fingers so it could be cool to see an osu tournament with actual audience and a stage
The amount of nostalgia I got from this video is insane. I’ve only really played the game since 2018 but I knew about it and sort of followed it back in 2016 and seeing all these events happen in order again just made me feel like I was reliving all of it. A few key things that were left out that don’t get talked about a lot outside the mapping community were the evolution of the map editor over time (which is why a lot of old maps feel lower quality than newer ones), the rise of some super important or controversial mappers such as mazzerin, val0108, hailie, hollow wings, fanzhen, and pishifat. The first r/place which had the legendary battle between tyler1 and osu! also didn’t get mentioned.
correct me if im wrong i dont know much about the early days but wasnt there a map in 2016 1 of december called galaxy collapse that alot of good players played for fun at start but then they tried to fc it i dont think they ever did im pretty sure they 1 missed it
Bro...my life has been surrounded by rhythm games since I was in Jr High and the internet has only helped make these games and communities more accessible. Where my rhythm game is life crew at? haha
The only thing I knew about Osu (since I was a little child when it came out) was that most people worth online could be judged by looking at their choice of backgrounds. Like man, I hate THAT kind of background *shudders*
I've literally never watched or played Osu, watching this without context and seeing you say pp so normally over and over again is truly hilarious.
even osu players make pp jokes💀
"He has 1k PP"
Osu players : Nice
Redditors : *What?*
Osu players live in a world where pp farming is a thing
2:45 >And if you needed pp, why not try The Big Black
PP for our osu community is a diffrent world of meaning
Mostly
relatable
dude this is really a walk down memory lane, imagine what it would be like watching this video knowing nothing about the game
I know the songs and 727 but nothing else, so to me this video shows me I’m missing out on whatever OSU is.
