A listing of amazing moments in the rhythm game osu!.

Technically, every single existing player tin can invoke i by FC (Full Combo)-ing an insanely hard (or long) beatmap, dethroning top players at sure beatmaps, or defeating peak-ranked players in community tournaments. Passing a "thought-to-be-humanly-impossible" map also counts. Even so, at that place are some plays and players that inevitably rise above the rest.

    Singleplayer (osu!standard)

• Cookiezi was basically the source of almost all awesome moments that happened in this game for a long fourth dimension. Up until his contempo hiatus, he regularly set mindblowing plays, some of which remain unmatched.
  • Examples from before his ban:
  • On November 26th, 2015, Cookiezi got unbanned. Permit's just say that when he comes back, he comes back.
    • Immediately took the #one spot on the hardest map ranked at the time. So he full comboed it a calendar month after.
    • Full comboed Image Material. To put that in perspective, that map had been played for three years and no one had ever total comboed it, even though literally every top player had tried.
    • Demolished the tape for highest PP score with Bluish Zenith HR. This score was 727pp. The previous top score was 667pp.
    • Has yet again destroyed the record for highest PP score with FREEDOM DiVE [Four Dimensions] HDHR. He got 800pp, beating the previous record of 730pp, and achieving the first 800pp score in the game. While the pp record has since shifted, this play would only exist buffed in future pp reworks, and at present sits at 894pp, with no other role player being able to fifty-fifty contest him on the map.
    • Bankrupt the PP tape once again with Remote Control [Max Control!] +HD,DT. After dozens of retries, including total combos with lower accuracy, Cookiezi finally pulled together everything in this run and bankrupt past the 800pp barrier all the same again, making him the first ever player with two 800pp scores. Although another tiptop player Vaxei shell his score on the leaderboards, he hit one more 100 than Cookiezi did, giving him 813pp instead of 817pp, and so Cookiezi's tape still stood for quite some time.
    • In an era where a score worth 900pp was already unfathomable, much less 1000pp, Cookiezi about fix a 1000pp+ score. Feast your eyes on his play on Yomi Yori Kikoyu... [Kyouaku] +Hd, an 8-minute long marathon of a map that was designed to be beyond the limits of anyone in the customs, nearly on the same level as beatmaps such as Apparition... and all of his misses were on ii parts in the centre, after which he comboed through the rest of the map, ending with 99% accuracy. It would've been worth 1009pp at the time if he full comboed it, and even without the FC, it's regarded as one of the best plays of all time, and for skillful reason.
    • Afterward swearing off ranked maps due to a lack of interest in farming pp, Cookiezi fix an insane play on the Loved map Kegare Naki Yume [Epilogue] +Hard disk drive, featuring cross-screen jumps and incredibly difficult spaced streams. The score would have been worth 967pp at the time the play was made if the map was ranked, which would've been the first non-touchscreen 900pp score by a very large margin.
    • Made of Fire [Oni] +Hard disk,DT. Words can't do this play justice; just spotter and appreciate the utter insanity.
• Sometimes, it seems similar Vaxei's merely limiter is school, because whenever he logs on he pulls off ridiculous feats that some might argue take exceeded even Cookiezi'southward in the modern era.
  • Vaxei was known as a talented DT player when he started out, but in one case he full comboed pensamento tipico de esquerda caviar (more commonly known every bit its difficulty proper name "[Gangsta]") with Hard disk drive and DT, he got anybody's attention. A beatmap that even the likes of rrtyui and Axarious, two legendary players in their own right, had trouble with, and this new guy on the block shows up and singletaps through information technology similar it's zip? It was an early sign of Vaxei'south potential and what was in shop from him.
  • And so, to the shock of the entire osu! community, he passed Airman with +HD,HR,DT. This pass was so mindblowing that a handful of people fifty-fifty accused him of cheating because of it.
  • Every bit mentioned higher up, he beat Cookiezi score-wise on Remote Control (although his play had lower accuracy), grabbing himself an 800pp+ play of his own.
  • In 2019, Vaxei shocked the world when he shattered the 1000pp barrier, getting two plays exceeding 1000pp seemingly back-to-back on Tsukinami [Nostalgia] +Hard disk drive,DT and Wizard's Tower [Ultimate Magic] +HD,DT. This feat was then legendary that it gave osu! mainstream media coverage, which is mostly unheard of for such a niche game. Several minutes' worth of intense, sometimes cross-stream jumps, all washed with incredible accuracy in forepart of hundreds of viewers on stream... Let'southward just say that those scores were more than than deserved.
  • Perhaps fifty-fifty more impressive than his 1000pp scores is his 1 miss run on Cycle Hit +HD,DT. Yes, you read that right: Cycle Hit . With Subconscious and Double Time . A slider-heavy, semi-technical map that was never designed to exist even played with DT... and to Vaxei, it's nothing more than another goal. If at that place was anyone who still doubted his skill at this point or dismissed him every bit a farmer, this play would single-handedly put all those claims to rest.

    Tournaments (osu!standard)

While overlooked past almost of the coincidental playerbase, osu! has a thriving tournament scene that allows individuals with unlike skillsets to succeed. As players in tournaments only have one try through each map in a given match, and are exposed to a variety of maps from old to new, those who accept practiced accuracy, consistency, and a diverse skillset volition almost certainly succeed more than those who only have top PP plays, only are severely overspecialized in sure skills, most unremarkably raw speed and aim.

This document past elevation Canadian player Azer, created to analyze the teams in the 2017 osu! World Loving cup, details the nuances of tournament play and how it differs from the solo way that about players focus on.

• One tin't even discuss osu! tournaments without mentioning Toy, who is in contention for existence one of the best and almost versatile tournament players of all fourth dimension. He has an extremely various skillset, having #ane scores on all sorts of maps across osu!'south history, and uses information technology to the fullest extent to dominate in the tournament scene. His contour badges from tournament wins speak for themselves, forth with him existence an integral role of the Usa' four osu! World Cup victories in 2015, 2016, 2018, and 2019, with an as respectable 2nd identify finish in 2017. His proficiency on lower approach rate maps and maps with strange patterns, with Subconscious in detail, are nearly unmatched, to the point where on those maps he's often the only actor in the entire lobby to hold a combo at all .
• rustbell is some other contender for beingness one of the all-time, if not the best, tournament players in the history of osu! While he is currently inactive, he frequently performed at the very top of the anteroom on nearly every tournament map, getting consistent total combos with ridiculous accuracy. Opposing teams feared and respected him to such a point that they would program map counterpicks for his teammates instead of him, hoping to catch them off-guard considering they knew in that location was no hope of throwing rustbell off.
  • His importance to Mainland china'south team was and then significant that his absenteeism from the 2017 World Cup onwards made China get from a Grand Finals contender to being knocked out before the superlative 12 for many years later. rustbell's consistency and lack of exploitable weaknesses rounded out the otherwise very specialized Chinese team perfectly, taking immense pressure off his own teammates; without him, China's accuracy weakness and overspecialization were heavily exposed, allowing other teams to choice them off with intelligent counterpicks.
  • An example of his absolutely ludicrous consistency and tournament skills is his performance on the 2015 osu! Globe Loving cup Grand Finals tiebreaker, Furioso Melodia. Although his team lost, he had the best functioning out of any player in the entrance hall past far, with 779x combo and 98.96% accuracy, on his first and merely try, on the biggest tournament phase in the game. The map in question had no full combos in 2015, and if submitted to the leaderboards without the tournament scoring cap, would take been the second highest accuracy play on that map.
  • China'south story doesn't end there, though, since team helm Crystal has been slowly catching up to rustbell'due south level, becoming just as ascendant in tournament play in his ain right! His presence on nearly every map has led many spectators to call him the "reincarnation of rustbell," and for adept reason. With Crystal'due south improvements alongside overall roster upgrades, China was able to take 9th in the 2020 OWC after many good showings, losing only after an intense set that went to tiebreaker.
• "If Bubbleman is feeling good, he is the all-time player in the game, hands down." Bubbleman is the strongest tournament player in the United Kingdom, and ane of the well-nigh prominent tournament players in the world, spearheading some of the strongest tournament teams in osu! history. Over the course of 2019, he amassed more profile badges from tournaments than even Toy, and on a good day, he'south able to perform at the highest level on fifty-fifty maps that are deemed un-FCable in tournament. See these sets for examples.
• Vaxei's long list of accomplishments doesn't end with singleplayer, as he's proven his tournament authorization fourth dimension and time again in both solo and team events. It speaks volumes that the but players who have taken a set off of him since 2017 have been Toy and Bubbleman, and fifty-fifty they would struggle if they matched up confronting him in Grand Finals. Vaxei'southward ridiculous skill ceiling and dominance in every skillset, in item his prowess at speed, aim agility, and tech maps, makes him an invaluable asset to every team he finds himself on. He was consistently one of the The states' MVPs in the 2018, 2019, and 2020 osu! World Cups, getting ridiculous scores on everything in the Finals map-pools; in the latter two, he nigh single-handedly carried at least one set, acme scoring 5 out of half dozen maps that he played in the 2019 Grand Finals.
• Cookiezi was similarly an absolute juggernaut of a tournament thespian, on par with Vaxei's level of dominance during his prime number. Think of what Vaxei does to Grand Finals mappools nowadays; Cookiezi did the exact same thing, frequently completely eclipsing teams full of acme tourney players with his scores. Full comboing a_hisa - Anhedonia [Synesthesia] +HD, a x-minute marathon, under tourney pressure? Sure, why not? Single-handedly conveying Safe Conquest, the strongest tournament squad of all time, through Corsace Open 2018 Yard Finals, on some of the most awkward, unconventional technical maps in the pool? No problem. He'd often pull off these feats without even practicing the mappool, to top information technology all off...
• With Toy'southward departure from competitive osu!, someone on the U.s. needed to fill up in his shoes, right? Enter im a fancy lad, America'south "ascent star" of 2020 with a Earth Cup win that year under his chugalug. Similarly equally consistent and talented on tech and finger control, Fancy shines in every stage of any tournament, and has been on top team after peak squad every bit i of those teams' MVPs every unmarried time. His mere presence on teams forces opponents into a tough situation with map bans. Remember how Toy was so ascendant on low AR Hidden that the opposing squad would be throwing a point to him if they didn't ban it? Fancy's equivalent of this is the awkward rhythm NoMod pick (or "NM6"), where he is completely unmatched.
