#1
Taishi - The Shadows [Noir]
godddd the progression on this map is beautiful. Keysounds are also brilliantly done.
#2
Crystal Castles - Vietnam [A journey to a sinister past]
incredible conceptual stuff, sliders work so perfectly
#3
Mitose Noriko - XaaaCi. [Yasra manaf innna Ar ciel]
play with storyboard and custom skin
#4
Meshuggah - Bleed [Aneurysm]
I know this map is controversial and a lot of people think it should've been cs5 (even was mentioned on the bn kick messages on those who nominated this?!?!) but I feel like being cs6 is what differentiates it and makes it really enticing honestly. This map is seriously a one-of-a-kind.
#5
Tipper - Dreamsters [drifting upwards]
there isn't much that I need to say about this one. Was the map that convinced me that cs9 can be more than just a funny gimmick
#6
Kikagaku Moyo - Silver Owl [Meadow]
similar to the shadows, I just think the progression in this is so spectacular. One of those maps you just need to vibe to and forget about performing well on it.
#7
Nekomata Master feat. Nagayama Maki - Watari Sousou [Melancholy]
both watari sousou maps are really cool precision marathons in their own rights
#8
Nekomata Master feat. Nagayama Maki - Watari Sousou [flourish]
both watari sousou maps are really cool precision marathons in their own rights
#9
Floex - The Glasshouse with Butterfly (Orbital Remix) [Spreading the Wings]
this is honestly such an insane first rank. I have a little bit of personal bias for this since I watched it evolve quite a bit but still an experience
#10
aran - Graces of Heaven [Biblically Accurate Beatmap]
need more high star precision
#11
Dimrain47 - Operation: Evolution [Darwinism]
^^^ also really tricky but fun aim control
#12
Blind Stare - Shotgun Symphony+ [Impossibly Intense]
where it all began (actually I guess og shotgun symphony is where it started but idc)
#13
KASAI HARCORES - CYCLE HIT [Grand Slam]
my favorite of the daycore cs7 maps
#14
Dominia - Cellar Door [Entwine in the land of sad dreams]
need more gothic metal
