Wakeshima Kanon - World's End, Girl's Rondo (Asterisk DnB Remix) by Sotarks

the rhythm is literally identical as in the og one so I guess they went off of that

which one is this supposed to look like i really can't tell
i guess it does stand out as the least interesting ranked one among all of them

mapping already mapped songs is completly fine.
mapping the same experience again is kinda meh.

Tbh my theory is that this is a generational change and The Kids are just dopamine junkies so they can't enjoy anything just because and have to have instant gratification by Number go up so it's fully absolutely completely doomed

How do you objectively compare maps to know which ones have "no meaningful differences"? Answer: you can't because everyone has a different outlook on everything

like I get the sentiment it's just really really annoying seeing this every single time a map that is not positive to The Mob

as for introducing music through the game I agree with Luminiscental, well it kind of always was like this but the general "community" now is pretty much dead because they are all brainrotted and farm 30s sped up songs as evidenced by everything which is NOT that getting like 2k plays

I guess you could have the same thing happen with like OWC TB (as in the general community being into it) but the "issue" here is that they're now always going to be from fa, so there won't be as much variety as before and it's just going to be some like 220bpm electronic camellia techno shit which is hype in the game but Almost noone's going to listen to it outside of it realistically

Like uta was iconic I'd listen to uta if I had the mood for it, I'd listened to it when it was popular through the game, I have friends who listen to like felt exclusively and I am 100% certain they found it through the game, same probably goes for like all the touhou cover groups like demetori

but then again if you really want to you can find songs, like I sometimes click on newest ranked and I found this song through that /s/2114056 sadly it has 80k plays after 2.5 yrs and it's like the most ideal nhix set to get playcount which isn't farm so yea..

I think modern era osu still has some power for introducing music to people but it's just less in the realm of "knowing this song becomes shared culture among the whole playerbase" and moreso individual discovery moments

"this is lame" - a personal sentiment - is different from "objectively bad for the game and for the ranked section"

with that being said it’s sad that nowadays its so difficult to actually make a song that is not already popular known through the game, especially considered how the 2010s era of osu influenced my music preferences

I think “mappers can map and rank whatever they want” and “ranking the Nth map of the same song with no meaningful differences is lame” are both valid statements

also there is enough of a reason for this to exist for someone to pay money for this (it was commissioned) so regardless of if *you* think its pointless it seems that some people do want to see this. dont think its crazy for people to want to see one of their favourite maps mapped again.

saying u dont like the map is enough. why call it "objectively bad" for the ranked section i just dgi

2 > 1 :-)

holy shit 2 cakes

my comment wasnt directly responding to u its just a common sentiment ive noticed

money talks

@espii not what im saying, im not saying to impose ranked ban on already ranked songs

im saying its pointless to do it the same as the og map but worse in every way (this is nostalgia bait)((ive said why nostalgia bait is bad))

yea its stupid to gatekeep songs that r already ranked but they mapped worlds end girls rondo

I don't even care about all that, I just think its kinda sad that they didn't do more when they could, even with this style. That's all.

L optics

ithink its stupid and regressive to gatekeep mapping songs that have alr been mapped. stupid because 99% of players are just happy to get 2 maps rather than 1 (insert the holy shit 2 cakes image). regressive because it reinforces the idea of a song already having the "correct" interpretation and that a mapper shldnt try smth different.

it feels like every week all of omdb flock toward these maps and its not a good look

at this point in time idc about farm sets much because there is an infinite amount of them already so you can make the point that any new one is actually good because of more song variety (Unless the song was mapped already)

but that's a weak point to make I just choose to not rly interact much with them because we're well past the point of it mattering lol

nostalgia larp I just don't rly think about sets on the same song like that (as I said I don't really care if they're similar) and I also don't care abt the motives of the mapper so both of those aren't a concern to me personally

i said "farm megaset", not megaset; that should make it more obvious (the map is made for pp and playcount).

nostalgia larp is often bad because they water down what made the original piece good in the first place, and is also often done for playcount or attention (Or as following the footsteps of a new trend)

what I mean is that when I want to map a song I like I do it - that's that and that is also how I think abt other maps; genuinely don't care if it's the same style or whatever because no 2 maps will ever be the same

I also think that it's genuinely like disgusting that maps like this are always bad and "the same experience but 15% worse" but some others get overanalyzed to shit like genuinely saying this is so baffling to me - I say that not having seen this specific map but I can bet my life on it NOT being "the same experience" to me

I think that you could copy a simple map, mirror it horizontally and if it was ranked as a separate set a lot of people (general playerbase) wouldn't tell as even that makes it an unique experience imo

also not sure why you think both megasets or "nostalgia larp" are bad, I really like megasets because they concentrate many different interpretations of the same song and if it's a good song then there is a lot of content for me to enjoy and nostalgia larp is like a made up insult or something lol genuinely not sure how to address that one. if you mean someone mapping a lot of "osu classic" songs only because they have that status then my take on that is that I think that Nevo is one of the best mappers of all time in terms of actually bringing content to the game specifically because he is one of if not the biggest "nostalgia larpers" so yeah

if that term somehow has a negative connotation then please explain it to me because I can't see how mapping the same song a few years later is bad for the game in any way, even if it is the same experience / ideas / whatever

sebas everything gets like 1000 plays nowadays nothing is good for the game

05:10:364 (2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3) - You know i do somewhat respect just mapping over the vocal changes downbeats and whatever and just putting the same spacing same angle jumps for 5 seconds its really mindblowing to hear the song and play it

anyway i remember liking the yugu map of this song the best

not sure whats there not to get tbh, because this almost only happens either on anime ops (you get 10 farm megasets) or on songs that were popularized by the game so its done for nostalgia larp; both of these are objectively bad for the game and for the ranked section

Yea idk I just completely don't get this way of thinking honestly so fair enough I guess

this discussion keeps happening every 3 weeks now

ur not "banned" from it its just lame when u map the same song the same style the same ideas and then push it to ranked, extremely lame

Also honestly Meg's isn't the best one either it just has insane nostalgia buff but when I played all sets of this that were ranked a few yrs back I think I liked kotachi's the most

So are u banned from making a worse map of the same song or what

this is like a 1.5

very omdbcore to give 0s to mid

did not realize how many maps of this exist in ranked now jeez

i don't cry "open" i just cry

just weird

ai generated

i cry open <---- collab map

we cry open <---- solo map

the map itself isn't bad but i don't really understand what reason it has to exist when it's the exact same experience as the meg map but 15% worse in every single aspect

i guess
