Infected Mushroom - The Pretender by RLC

I much prefer Pachiru's set for some reason.

meant a lot at the time but it feels fake as hell for me to rate it higher based on historical context when i don't rly resonate with it or its ideas on any level Right Now

legendary map

that’s on u for not using protection

she infect my mushroom

oh ic

no that was just meant as a dumb remark, I mostly agree with the point but it doesn't harm my perception of the map enough for me to rate it any lower than like 3

sry for having an opinion i guess

RLC got a weak package

comments on this site never dissapoint me

@toybot late reply but it's mostly because the map comes off to me as a pattern collection rather than a well thoughtout map, don't get me wrong tho i do see the appeal

Fun classic map

what makes this a weak package of a map

i see this map more as a stepping stone for RLC as a mapper after studying the blade of dksslqj, and his craft really did improve as the time went on. i believe why people loved this map so much was because this map still had some ideas that the community wasn't familiar with or simply were never seen before, and most importantly, visuals. i still feel this map is somewhat weak as a whole package, too much of it feels arbitrary even though it might look nice and well structured. moral of the story is why not stan anhedonia instead??????????????????

I really liked the genryuu kaiko reference in the solo

the citizen kane of maps

she infect my mushroom [2]

she infect my mushroom

what if i say im not liek the othres

this map opened a gate to endless potential, thats not a feat to underestimate

Remember children, respect your elders

masterclasse

infected midshroom

It's the Seinfeld of osu maps

This is

its like im pretending to be a stream and tech player

You can split osu mapping into pre Pretender and post pretender

nephews dont respect the wilt chamberlain of osu maps

its pretty solid

an undeniable milestone but it doesn't really click with me, i think RLC has maps visibly better than this

i like when the map is a map and it does map things

i actually like the map and the score is agreeable but these comments are ass lol. just say what in the map resonates with u, dont act like its wikipedia page. actually i should do that now

the way that the difficulty curves upward through tangible changes to established patterns formed a lot of my design philosophy towards difficulty and repetition (especially the realization that 02:52:455 (1,2,3,4,5,6) was just the back and forth sliders and 02:59:697 (3,4,5) was just the triangle), the patterns where a shared relative angle lets patterns branch off from a 5 degree slider for emphasis e.g. 01:43:835 (2,3,4) are sick and got to my mapping secondhand (through pishifat's handlebars lmao). also i'm not sure if this is true but the vertical sliders at 03:15:904 may have awoken something in me regarding sections of vertical sliders

the game changer

yall be like this map is really good because [legacy]

GN said it better than anyone else can, no more context necessary

Im pretty sure this is rng map, rlc made a map thats fun to play because he wanted to have fun and ended up making average map with better gameplay compared to the time

this map fucks soooo hard

you had to be there to understand why this map was so highly revered. it's quite different from pretty much anything that came before it, and while you can still tell there's some old map jank in it if you pay attention, it's a timeless classic.

i dont get the high rating cuz this just seems like the most map of all time

the map greew on me a lot
