Yeah. Really shows just how in a class of people considered to have unhuman like reaction and rhythm game skills by the masses, yourself included. One player can be said to be the best out of all of them. I'm a few years into osu! myself, and I can't imagine myself seeing the kind of rapid improvement Shige saw even if I played all day every day and had someone telling me each map to play.
but of course, that explain everything, no one can be that good at osu at so many different skills, to be so good, you would need 3 different players, that explain everything. xD

People don't realize that if not banned even without playing he still would've been nr.1 up until late 2015 making his consecutive reign longer than mrekks and then just a few months later he got unbanned and took it back for another year right away
I miss my days of when I started osu When people joke about hard songs being cookiezi warmup (like centipede) When maps like toumei elegy, quaver, rubik's cube, My Love and Big Black was the famous maps The pro scene was like cookiezi, idke, vaxei, rafis, rrtyui Miraie made osu videos The time when cookiezi reign were the golden days, I just remember the time like 3 years ago when my friends were talking about how good cookiezi was and I asked who he was and they said he is the number 1 player in the world.
Cookiezi will always be the goat. There was 100x more competition for #1 back in the day than there is today because the map pool was a lot smaller and the maps were not optimized for PP like they are today. Every #1 Contender in the last few years either just stops playing or just isn't interested in competing (vaxei, whitecat, merami, even mrekk burnt out for a long time). Look at his godmodes from 6-10 years ago and some of them are only now getting surpassed and also consider that he did these plays on garbage specs when we were all playing on potatos with 60hz
Its crazy how cookiezi gets off for months even years and is just as good as he left.....THEN theres me I get off for more than a week I come back and cant even do 5* maps gotta love it (My best play is 348pp)
Maybe we should accept that he would never come back... Me who just knew today 7/27 that cookiezi just came back and now was re watching this to remember why cookiezi was so good
@@Blizzburn yeah, but the difference is that whitecat is obviously hacking, and the community is blind of saying that he is legit, how in the world of god can you be that good, to get to #1 in like, 2 weeks, nobody did that, and he was banned before for hacking, i don't know what he's got but he just can't be that good, not in that time, and the time he played 'offline' is way less than Cookiezi playtime ( who was better than anyone ), how can a man, not even a man, he is like 15-16 ? haha, how can a 15-16 kid beat every single player that ever played the game ( i am reffering to pp and coming #1 ) in that less time, why are you all blind i don't understand, exactly like in the real world, that's why every country is falling appart.
i started playing osu! more than a month ago and tbh, i had no clue this guy even existed until a few days ago. It would've been nice to be able to witness these events but oh well. I can still look upto him i guess :D
Osu was such a good game driven with an amazing community, having managble top scores and supportive people. Today it's a fest of children fighting over who can click faster.

@@cleetus6284 what are you talking about? Op talked about how children fighting over ranks as if the old Osu wasn't the same (some old top players was teenagers when playing, the same as new top players). The community still supportive, sure there are some bad ones, but then again so did old Osu. Then again, i don't expect how someone drunk in nostalgia to see beyond their bias.

If you want to relive some of the moments from his history here's some channels and playlists that I would recommend to find replays, livestream VODs, and highlights: Cookiezi (2013) Replays: ua-cam.com/users/cookiezireplays All VODs of his 2013 livestreams: ua-cam.com/play/PLierqSh7leEuWM4a712sgkGEQfoa7v9Wr.html Current replays: ua-cam.com/play/PLygw0P63REhwgPHjpqERLEYLfhCRm9QnW.html
everyone always compare cookiezi to whitecat and vaxie, let me tell you guys.. the greatest doesn't mean the best, and the best doesn't mean the greatest.. if you don't understand what im sayin, the best is a technical category that goes down to strict measurables. the greatest is a subjective category that takes into account a player's overall impact and their overall legacy. and now you know without argue thats why cookiezi is the greatest player of all time just by witness his legacy.
I see why Vaxei would be compared to Shige due to his absolute unrivaled domination in 2019 and 2020, but comparing WhiteCat to Shige is just dumb. Players like Shige broke the rules, were years ahead of their time. WhiteCat, appart from pp farming and 30 second 10* jumps, never was number 1 in anything in the game, nearly every player who reached number 1 in history was more ahead of their time (except a few cases like FreddieBenson). Not saying WhiteCat is a bad player at all, don’t get me wrong. To my mind he’s actually the second best player of 2020. But he sure doesn’t have the advance, nor the mindset, to be a true number 1 in my opinion, plus his fanbase is the absolute worst, his fans are so toxic, and he really popularized pp farming which is why the leaderboard is so shitty today.
I started playing right after he got banned. I got so sad watching his pre-ban videos, because I wouldn't be able to witness all those godly scores. When he was unbanned I got so freaking happy. I got to see many epic scores live (either in spec, Twitch, OpenRec), such as Image Material, Everything Will Freeze, Blue Zenith +HR then +HDHR, Freedom Dive +HR then +HDHR, and so many other cool scores. Good times!!!
It's just Osu! One of the greatest games I've ever played and I'm still playing. And what makes this game so great? It's the nice community compered to other games. And.. Cookiezi is just a legend. As long as I'm playing this game I always thought how's this even possible about his plays. He showed us almost always... Nope that's possible. Great game Great players God Cookiezi
Rhythm Games has the best communities in the Gaming Industry from what i've seen. Indie Games have breeded out alot of amazing games but with amazingly toxic communities, Whereas no one dared to draw a NSFW piece of Deemo and the Osu community only making pp jokes lmao- The most toxic a Rhythm game community could get is by flexing i guess?
Really good story telling I really was captivated by what and how you were saying things even if you might not think it was anything special it kept me here for 17 mins and not once did I look down to see how much time was left yes it was and interesting topic but you delivered it really good and I got to learn about a player that I never heard of because I'm new to OSU so thanks for this bro
he plays unsubmitted and unranked maps which unheard of so it's no wonder. he got too many problems physically which holds him back. also it feels like he doesn't really like that much attention so he only plays non-lb maps (except qualified maps). after all, he doesn't really cares about pp like what in the video stated.
Started to know cookiezi since 2016, still a big fan of him eventhough what happened in the current day, its such a roller-coaster of memory happened, thanks willy!
I will always, always wonder about the Yomi Yori "what if." A 1k pp play, two and a half years early. That is absolutely absurd. Yes, it's been FC'd, but still. A 1k pp play in 2017, completely shattering the pp record and straight up ignoring 900 pp as well? That will always be the saddest lost timeline for me.
Cookiezi is truly the best player of all time dude everytime I watch his new scores I come back to watch his progress in years ago wow.. such dedication
i think cookiezi became recognised as best player, because his amazing technical HD/HDHR insane plays, i'm not saying HDDT players are not good, but i'm saying that long technical maps need way more stamina and expertness, and therefore the why his plays are more impressive and damn popular, and that's not so easy to achieve for top players :^)
he did hddt plays back when people could only nomod those maps only people such as remilia-scarlet and niko could rival his speed or accuracy gods such as silvia,tana and shaggon could rival his acc only clementine was considered as the player closest to cookiezi's style altough people won't believe it because of his hacking history, he was still a genuine talent with the smoothest aiming i've ever seen
@@TienDesu imo daisuke and fdfdhdhr are far more impressive considering tsukinami was considered fcable by at least 3 different players : vaxei, tuna and klug (maybe mathi/alumetri and other farmers ?)
The thing with cookiezi is that he was setting scores which were far beyond the level of top players at the moment ex : fdfd FC in 2013 (at the time 1000 combo was fking huge) image material FC, fdfd HDHR (actually Only karthy could do that right now), blue zénith hr akatsuki zukuyo nobore daisuke etc
@@TienDesu yeah vaxei is good but it's not like tsukinami is not doable for other dt players. it's made to be comfortable to play for high ranked dt players
I’ve been watching OSU streams lately but had never in my life played the game. This guy is literally a god. And the nice part about it is that people actually look up to him, he’s not a bad guy.
Thanks to you a huge amount of Osu history is now recorded in this video and preserved for the future otherwise it would have been lost and forgotten happy to see this and to hear cookiezi being mentioned again from the day that i started in 2015 i had huge respect for Cookiezi as the best player in the world and was inspired to be just like him.
A thing I don't tolerate anymore, is when some guys who lately joined around 2018 affirm that our lovely Shigetora is now outdated by yoday's players and their average pp scores. But anyway, any 1minute map with a jump hardpart at 280bpm gives more PP than one requiring a very good unstable rate, a lot of stamina and selfcontrol during 5 minutes, nice Peppy well done
Similar things happened for jhlee0133, who is still known as one of the best mania player to this day. Due to unfortunate conflicts, he retired from the game on 2017, but after two years he came back (similar to shige, he went live on twitch randomly) and showed absolute legendary performances. What a mysterious events happening for the best players of Osu -as their fan tho, I am so glad that both came back :3

Look at his godmodes from 6-10 years ago and some of them are only now getting surpassed and also consider that he did these plays on garbage specs when we were all playing on potatos with 60hz
Its crazy how cookiezi gets off for months even years and is just as good as he left.....THEN theres me I get off for more than a week I come back and cant even do 5* maps gotta love it (My best play is 348pp)
Gilbert Rios u cant Beat natural Talent Same with Messi no matter how hard you try u wont get as good
lol, my best is 20, so don't feel too bad
@@0bread286 same mine is 20 too at least it's not a Sotarks map 😂
He was so good that a 17 minute legend video was made for him
Maybe we should accept that he would never come back...
Me who just knew today 7/27 that cookiezi just came back and now was re watching this to remember why cookiezi was so good
the one history lesson i actually enjoyed all the way through

That's it. Osu is officially a Jojo reference.
kinda sus
This man was 12 when he became an OSU leaderboard player in 2010 damn
Just like how whitecat started his legacy. The reincarnation wheel is starting.
@@Blizzburn yeah, but the difference is that whitecat is obviously hacking, and the community is blind of saying that he is legit, how in the world of god can you be that good, to get to #1 in like, 2 weeks, nobody did that, and he was banned before for hacking, i don't know what he's got but he just can't be that good, not in that time, and the time he played 'offline' is way less than Cookiezi playtime ( who was better than anyone ), how can a man, not even a man, he is like 15-16 ? haha, how can a 15-16 kid beat every single player that ever played the game ( i am reffering to pp and coming #1 ) in that less time, why are you all blind i don't understand, exactly like in the real world, that's why every country is falling appart.

Best Ending i've seen so far.
gave me chills jesus christ.
i started playing osu! more than a month ago and tbh, i had no clue this guy even existed until a few days ago. It would've been nice to be able to witness these events but oh well. I can still look upto him i guess :D
He still sets insane scores
Osu was such a good game driven with an amazing community, having managble top scores and supportive people. Today it's a fest of children fighting over who can click faster.
nostalgia factor tbh. these were simpler times but nothing much changed except for the exposed pedos😂
@@Asr.- I think everything will freeze is much more fun to watch and play than just a random aim hddt map to farm for pp
There's always people like you in a community with this "back in my day". Thinking that old and new Osu as "different" is nothing but an illusion.
@@garryguertena4477 Pretty sure "back in his day" it was a *bit* different, creator wise, skill wise, song structure, community, everything. He misses the good ol' days like every old timer would and he has every right to it. The only illusion that holds any ground in this is your non existent brain.
@@cleetus6284 what are you talking about? Op talked about how children fighting over ranks as if the old Osu wasn't the same (some old top players was teenagers when playing, the same as new top players). The community still supportive, sure there are some bad ones, but then again so did old Osu. Then again, i don't expect how someone drunk in nostalgia to see beyond their bias.

Youre here forever
unless youre literally unable to die from anything, even the death of the universe itself by which you would be many quadrillions quadrillions of years old.

Nice video! Keep it up!
Nice channel, I think you surpassed The Score eSports.
heck I thought it was this channel
you should do something like this for all of the top players
everyone always compare cookiezi to whitecat and vaxie, let me tell you guys.. the greatest doesn't mean the best, and the best doesn't mean the greatest.. if you don't understand what im sayin, the best is a technical category that goes down to strict measurables. the greatest is a subjective category that takes into account a player's overall impact and their overall legacy. and now you know without argue thats why cookiezi is the greatest player of all time just by witness his legacy.
He is in fact the Goat
Vaxei*
legacy*
I see why Vaxei would be compared to Shige due to his absolute unrivaled domination in 2019 and 2020, but comparing WhiteCat to Shige is just dumb. Players like Shige broke the rules, were years ahead of their time. WhiteCat, appart from pp farming and 30 second 10* jumps, never was number 1 in anything in the game, nearly every player who reached number 1 in history was more ahead of their time (except a few cases like FreddieBenson).
Not saying WhiteCat is a bad player at all, don’t get me wrong. To my mind he’s actually the second best player of 2020. But he sure doesn’t have the advance, nor the mindset, to be a true number 1 in my opinion, plus his fanbase is the absolute worst, his fans are so toxic, and he really popularized pp farming which is why the leaderboard is so shitty today.
@@psychogirly910 kinda agree. But the PP Farming started when Mathi became #1.
"Don't be sad because its over, be happy because it happened"
Thats goood line tho,i have seen that before
But shige is in breaak he didnt quit?
I started playing right after he got banned.
I got so sad watching his pre-ban videos, because I wouldn't be able to witness all those godly scores. When he was unbanned I got so freaking happy. I got to see many epic scores live (either in spec, Twitch, OpenRec), such as Image Material, Everything Will Freeze, Blue Zenith +HR then +HDHR, Freedom Dive +HR then +HDHR, and so many other cool scores.
Good times!!!
I hope Shige returns to break the pp record; the return of the king.
It would be absolutely insane if he came back and broke the 1260 pp record
It would be absolutely insane if he came back and broke the 1289 pp record
POV: This isn't your first time watching this
This 17 minutes video about cookiezi feels like 30 seconds for me
It's just Osu!
One of the greatest games I've ever played and I'm still playing.
And what makes this game so great?
It's the nice community compered to other games.
And..
Cookiezi is just a legend.
As long as I'm playing this game I always thought how's this even possible about his plays.
He showed us almost always... Nope that's possible.
Great game
Great players
God Cookiezi
Rhythm Games has the best communities in the Gaming Industry from what i've seen.
Indie Games have breeded out alot of amazing games but with amazingly toxic communities, Whereas no one dared to draw a NSFW piece of Deemo and the Osu community only making pp jokes lmao-
The most toxic a Rhythm game community could get is by flexing i guess?
But when Fortnite dies toxic waves Will be coming in😞
TSB-Spxce nah I don't think that it would have a bad impact on osu xd
@@pissdeck2001 Fortnite doesn't look like it'll die, plus even if it did I highly doubt they'd flush to osu! first.
I am so glad to be a part of this incredibly nice and wholesome community
Really good story telling I really was captivated by what and how you were saying things even if you might not think it was anything special it kept me here for 17 mins and not once did I look down to see how much time was left yes it was and interesting topic but you delivered it really good and I got to learn about a player that I never heard of because I'm new to OSU so thanks for this bro
Now I barely hear about him, so sad to see him fade a lil but he's good.
Now he got seed 1 in owc
he plays unsubmitted and unranked maps which unheard of so it's no wonder. he got too many problems physically which holds him back. also it feels like he doesn't really like that much attention so he only plays non-lb maps (except qualified maps). after all, he doesn't really cares about pp like what in the video stated.
@@jacquesmonreal2930 fym, he rn plays in owc
me gets 90% accuracy : OMG FINALLY AFTER 2 DAYS
Cookiezi : NOOOOO 98% THATS MY WORST GAME
me : confusion
r/youngpeopleyoutube
Everythinh will freeze lmao
This is such a good video, it really captures the mystery and legend of Cookiezi, he was almost seen as a god among men amongst the community
Endless dimensions.
four turns to endless
All the new players comparing whitecat and shige lmao
lol
Started to know cookiezi since 2016, still a big fan of him eventhough what happened in the current day, its such a roller-coaster of memory happened, thanks willy!
I will always, always wonder about the Yomi Yori "what if." A 1k pp play, two and a half years early. That is absolutely absurd. Yes, it's been FC'd, but still. A 1k pp play in 2017, completely shattering the pp record and straight up ignoring 900 pp as well? That will always be the saddest lost timeline for me.
it actually hasn't been fc'd yet, he still has the #1 play on that map
It's not this Yomi Yori that was fc'ed
there was no way he couldve fced another 1300 combo with those nerves, he was already shaking like crazy when he missed
He is only reason im playing osu!
I just starting to realize how much big impact it made when i started playing
Cookiezi is truly the best player of all time dude everytime I watch his new scores I come back to watch his progress in years ago wow.. such dedication
Would be anime plot worthy if his brother came back and his brother became the 'antagonist of the story' by challenging him for the #1 spot
If you think about it we've been into this virus for awhile. You would think shige would make an appearance. It would be epic
he in da army
@@mikko5384 thanks for the info
I don't remember or know much about osu! However, Cookiezi rings a bell to me, for some reason.
Became a habit to watch this yearly lol
i think cookiezi became recognised as best player,
because his amazing technical HD/HDHR insane plays,
i'm not saying HDDT players are not good, but i'm saying that long technical maps need way more stamina and expertness, and therefore the why his plays are more impressive and damn popular, and that's not so easy to achieve for top players :^)
tsukinami hello?
he did hddt plays back when people could only nomod those maps
only people such as remilia-scarlet and niko could rival his speed
or accuracy gods such as silvia,tana and shaggon could rival his acc
only clementine was considered as the player closest to cookiezi's style
altough people won't believe it because of his hacking history, he was still a genuine talent with the smoothest aiming i've ever seen
@@TienDesu imo daisuke and fdfdhdhr are far more impressive considering tsukinami was considered fcable by at least 3 different players : vaxei, tuna and klug (maybe mathi/alumetri and other farmers ?)
The thing with cookiezi is that he was setting scores which were far beyond the level of top players at the moment ex : fdfd FC in 2013 (at the time 1000 combo was fking huge) image material FC, fdfd HDHR (actually Only karthy could do that right now), blue zénith hr akatsuki zukuyo nobore daisuke etc
@@TienDesu yeah vaxei is good but it's not like tsukinami is not doable for other dt players. it's made to be comfortable to play for high ranked dt players
HES BACK BABY
Had to watch this video again after his return
I’ve been watching OSU streams lately but had never in my life played the game.
This guy is literally a god. And the nice part about it is that people actually look up to him, he’s not a bad guy.
Cookiezi is so good that he’s still in the top 50 playing casually
I have to say, this documentary was well written and executed well too.
15:44
Shige: Randomly comes back with a 900pp play on a loved map
Cookiezi has always been someone I look up to as an osu player myself I'm kinda sad that he hasn't been playing the game that often recently tho
It’s a year later and it’s been 8 months since he tweeted quit w and I’m still just holding out hope that’ he’ll come back to us
.
I tear up a bit
He might but unlikely i think. Angelism or firebat92 came back after military service so we never know
just waiting but i think he does another rl things so he cant come back
Cookiezi never coming back?
The fact that he played again literally yesterday for when this was written is amazing
Thanks to you a huge amount of Osu history is now recorded in this video and preserved for the future otherwise it would have been lost and forgotten happy to see this and to hear cookiezi being mentioned again from the day that i started in 2015 i had huge respect for Cookiezi as the best player in the world and was inspired to be just like him.
I have watched this video more than 10 times
I have no regrets
A thing I don't tolerate anymore, is when some guys who lately joined around 2018 affirm that our lovely Shigetora is now outdated by yoday's players and their average pp scores. But anyway, any 1minute map with a jump hardpart at 280bpm gives more PP than one requiring a very good unstable rate, a lot of stamina and selfcontrol during 5 minutes, nice Peppy well done
Similar things happened for jhlee0133, who is still known as one of the best mania player to this day. Due to unfortunate conflicts, he retired from the game on 2017, but after two years he came back (similar to shige, he went live on twitch randomly) and showed absolute legendary performances. What a mysterious events happening for the best players of Osu -as their fan tho, I am so glad that both came back :3
"His last words: 'Im here to delete my account' " says "and this is osu! quality, don't do anything yet" afterwards in the same screenshot
what does it means
The King has Returned
I don’t care how many times I watch this video, it is very well made and it is a great video
16:17 the sliders and cirlcles sync with the narration
