i don't think it will mean anything when i explain either since i was speaking subjectively but i was just referring to how it spams tricky patterns and aim control lol

i had thought you meant the uber diff but i just felt like complimenting the diff i liked tbh lol (i don't dislike uber's diff but it's probably like a 2.5-3.5 for me)

6mo ago

oh i meant the uberzolik diff but also what makes a pattern "engaging" this does not mean anything

AJT
6mo ago

In terms of the Ayaya diff at least, the patterns were engaging enough to make me even consider playing a map of this song, I like how it keeps me on my toes despite finding the song extremely boring

it's a good ass map. all the awkwardness presented throughout the map, all the wacky streams, they feel just right. a really successful attempt at whatever the mapper was going for.

WHO CUT ME OFF anyway the angle at 01:46:935 (1,2) transforms into a sharp entry angle /w rotation for pitch at 01:47:510 (3,4) not only to represent the increasing pitch of the melody but also to transition into prioritizing drums

1yr ago

i think a part of its success is due to how using the doubles to acknowledge percussion allows uberzolik to hard focus one layer of the map, which is a philosophy that extends to the entire map. when anything rises above the surface of the expressive vocals, it's given full priority. drum fills become barreling streams and wide angle jumps.

the movement is both one of the best in osu and deceptively simple: the wide angle at 01:40:405 (1,2,3,4) carries across all repetitions. the sharp entry angle into a kickslider at 01:44:251 (4,5) carries over into 01:45:979 (6,7,8). the

↓ even though this map is amazing i'm honestly not sure if i could explain why it's amazing to someone who doesn't get it without going object by object. a map with off-kilter angles that happen more as the song gets more intense, occasional symmetry, and messy streams isn't some grand ambition for a map, but everything is executed and paced so excellently that it's one of the greatest maps i've ever seen

Sounan (Insane) 10/10

What does it mean to be unique? Seems like a simple concept to execute, but it’s something I’ve seen only few properly do. A lot of mappers make efforts to provide their maps with a “unique” touch to stand out from the rest, only for it to end up as a shallow representation of something that yearns to stand out without any depth to back it up besides being different. The insane difficulty on this mapset perfectly represents what it means to truly be unique.

Visually the map goes against concepts that make the aesthetics of a map clean and creates something that feels like it should be wrong, but it works so well. In terms of how it plays, It's genuinely one of the most enjoyable maps I can think of. The movement perfectly represents the song and makes you really feel what the song wants you to feel, perfectly emphasizing the emotions meant to be evoked. There's a difference between giving your map contrast to properly represent a song, and bringing that song to life in the form of a map.

This map goes against concepts that are supposedly meant to make a map good, and crafts a map better than any other could’ve made with those concepts. It takes true skill to be able to make something that truly stands out in a special way, something that perfectly represents what it means to be unique.
