onoken - vijore by kiddly

masterpiece

wtf i didnt even notice its hp8

wait this is hp8 too and i didn't even feel the need to focus on that. incredible

finally, a map where cs5 felt like it actually added to the map's experience and not just an increase of difficulty. i don't see that often

osu hivemind when the song is really good:

omdb top 50 reviewing journey - #5

my take on this map can be condensed into one simple sentence: you could make a whole textbook on how to map out of this map and this map only.

play them again when rating your opinion might have changed and it's a more fun experience ‼

ive played them all

i see yall with 800+ ratings yall are not playing the maps ‼

2.5 -> 4.5 now that i have actually played it

also where is deetz with his vijore appreciation we need you sir

@Deca getsurei barely has any vijore dna Though

this map makes me cry (in a good way)

when compared to the other greats of the game kiddly was never quite an ideas guy, but what he lacks in ideas he more than makes up for with overwhelming visual beauty. vijore achieves aesthetic perfection not by beating you over the head with sheer object density, but by pure poetry of arrangement. kiddly carefully paces out onoken's otherworldly epic with the meticulous, almost mathematic elegance so characteristic of that particular chinese cs5 style. his cs5 aesthetic is the most beautiful (except for maybe kloyd's) and certainly one of the most recognizable of all time, and his arrangement idiosyncrasies are never as potent and concentrated as they are here.

omar shut your goofy ass up

Dada is CRINGE and Deca is (kind of) RIGHT

people soychamp this map so much and its by far one of the most mindboggling things to me because not only as a player but also as a mapper i snooze so much at this map

getsurei did everything this map does but better

still great map though

great execution of a long form map with the breaks and gameplay progression, good rhythm, nicely impactful 1/4 stuff, high quality throughout

hot take: i really don't understand why this map is anything super special, it's fine but it's not anything super stand-out imo

cs5 king

idk what to say this map is just one sexy beast

incredible beatmapping

this is one of those maps taht just knows how to rhythm while also keeping things extremely fresh and fun

a beatmap.
