POCKETTTT 🔥🔥🔥😭😭😭🔥🔥

when i noticed pattern usage like 01:38:055 (1,1) - throughout the kiais that little detail made the map pop so much more for me

master class in contrast and gameplay choice overall
also personally think the preview point is somewhat lame, and still somewhat dont agree with the gameplay in the last half a minute but i still really enjoy playing it for what it is

there is fun to have with this map simply by means of it being a spectacle, and i have wrestled with it a few times now but it still doesn't not feel like just doing crazy shit for the sake of crazy shit. a lot of the time i don't really feel like im playing the song either

particularly going in to the first hard part it can sorta feel like im just playing one gigantic pattern cus of all this structuring with every single object working together, would much rather isolate the patterns more personally, especially since the song has such huge emphasis on the downbeats at this part.

then going into 01:37:680 we're still so incessant on reaching every little bit of space on the screen within every few objects that, once again, the mapping doesn't feel so intune with the song. fusionnqn does a much better job at manipulating the cursor position in comparison, though that map is nowhere near as good structurally or visually. stuff like 01:50:617 (1,1,1) and 01:53:617 (1,1,1) also, they only serve their purpose visually imo, we're still covering huge distance on the screen just like very single other pattern in this section, and the linearish movement doesn't really convey the idea well enough imo... plus its just super annoying to hit for me at least. same goes for every time this slider comes up 03:26:805 (1) like zzz.

but map is still fun at parts, 02:49:961 is cool but then there's a variation that just doesn't sit right with me just because of how different the cursor movement is in order to play it at 03:02:055.

omdb box office smash hit

gratz on mappers' choice

easy 5 imo

call me a glazer

first kiai is legendary and everything else is mid

u right this a 5 camo

merry christmas

pocket is the kanye west of osu

i don't see them being one of the most problematic figures in the community though

I think the latter half of the map is as good if not better than the first half and I will die on that hill

That being said though, this map captures what the song does perfectly. Every object in the map feels as if they're in their correct spots; a pixel different somewhere else and it'd be off. One of the best maps I've seen in years, truly a masterpiece. I can only applaud for making this.

hard agree

finally can give something 5 on this site

i would've been impressed if it was 2021 today but its not anymore

not dissin' the map it's pretty cool for it's time but that's about it for me

i enjoy it when funny slider maps actually try and make it enjoyable for the player to hit the sliders so this is good

its crazy to think that pocket has just gotten better since this map so when null apophenia gets ranked im gonna have to beg for a 6* rating

i liked the part from 03:37:680 (1) - it stroked mybraincells perfectly

im not good maper enough to judge on a mapping basis but it plays nice and i enjoyed the map good rating

wait @228 what do you think changed between 2021 and 2023 to make this age poorly or be "good for its time"

pocket is the andre 3000 of mapping

first kiai is legendary and everything else is mid [2]

Incredible how much better I thought this map was before I looked at it today. Looking through the editor I found myself waiting for the map to start and playing it had to stop myself from quitting after the kiai. I wouldn't call any of it bad mapping, but its unfortunate the peak is packaged with everything else.

fast slider doesn't trigger dopamine response anymore

chirality did it first

Not even bro 😭

hes right

Yap central

Damn I like the second half a lot more than the first I was born to be a contrarian I think

soryyy im playing mhw rn

hop on mhw

any mhw players

do you know who ate all the donuts

i played this map once the first half is like w/e and then i almost sleep and then second half start and the bobobm clap bobom bobom que thing happens and i woke up

I take it back

omg so manny essays

im too boomer to enjoy modern tech maps man 😭😭😭

goodbye self destruct top 50, you were too good for this world

pronopun picker sing berdlycore

uberozlik is right asf

if this map played league of legends it would be diamond IV

i wanna like it, but i just hate playing these kinda maps idk :(

its ok

finally pocket gets some juice, cool map

i prefer when he restrains himself more like 19zz

im gonna get on just to say this but @visionary rustbell and callionet are osus outkast and rustbell is a3k

yo frostwich hop on i just got to high rank on mhw

Yea kill it with rock

uber is now an mhw addict its over

oh hey the gd's got finished

wow this really is a decent map

@frostwich such a hater 😤

what does this mean

its decent

maybe i just a wub map hater but all i can think about is how labor-intensive this type of mapping is for how little it seems to buy you lol

i liked 02:49:680 - to 03:13:398 - , its just a simple pattern applied really well. the ending sux, maybe its better with lazer slider mechanics.

im not good enough to fully enjoy top diff but im a sucker for the patterning on this section lol 03:37:680 (1) -

No complains for the extra diff, its consistent fun throughout. randomly 00:26:242 (2,3,4) - these little things are like the most annoying thing for me to hit in the map. 03:25:680 (1) - this section is very fun, love the fast repeat sliders.

that's kinda why i don't like the extra as much cuz it's equally as tricky as the top diff but the whole map is 0.75* lower for some reason

i don't rly get this

1411188 haha funny id

ok im now good enough to fully enjoy top diff and it is good
