Yuki Kajiura - Mezame by mercury2004

the speedup saved the map

merc's 1st map btw

Recently after I play an older map that leaves a strong impression on me I've started using the ranked date search function on the website to try to contextualise my thoughts in line with what was coming out at the time - also just helps find other cool maps!

I think this map stands out mostly because it takes a bunch of things other established mappers were doing at the time and makes them work in tandem, shinxyn inspired jump patterns with high paced but not overbearing slider velocity, and dynamic changes in rhythm make for a map that stands out a lot of the other maps being ranked at the time.

i dont get it

wait this map is awesome as fuck what

My final message... play Mezame NOW!

why did kajiura go off so hard on the OST for a snoozefest of an anime
