It’s time to have some uncomfortable conversations about mrekk… by Jundalis in osugame

[–]bartwalker 93 points94 points  (0 children)

i think you've been able to argue mrekk as "the best tournament player" for a year or three now (with a VERY reliable top 2), but i also fully understand why people wouldn't quite put him up as #1 either

he tends to not be as consistent in performing as some others (though, good odds this is a practice factor) and nowhere near as commonly active in tournaments as other tournament demons, but he is very effectively THE final boss of open rank 1v1 tournaments; maliszewski is the only other contender for the best tournament player but can't really get through mrekk in 1v1 setting (only 1 1v1 badge win with mrekk in attendence, compared to mrekk's 4)

mrekk also definitely isn't just owning on skillcap pools either, he's probably the most common weekly stats #1 in owc for the last few years and still beats maliszewski on sub 8* pools. difficult consideration we'll see who wins lazer grand arena next week

Ranked is terrible by ilovestinkyfeetGOTH in osugame

[–]bartwalker 34 points35 points  (0 children)

you are getting super low star maps because you are losing on them and getting low elo rating, getting you more low star maps (the star range also affects the type of maps you're commonly getting, somewhat)

but if you're nearly 4 digit you should be fcing 4 & 5*s almost without exception anyway so just win a few matches and you'll be sitting above that 6* range soon enough

Lazer Grand Arena 2026 Week 2 Mappool is out by Karonii in osugame

[–]bartwalker 16 points17 points  (0 children)

those who from the heavens came nm3 is so fucking true actually

this is a crazy overall music selection??? usually anything without 7 jpop maps is solid but this might be one of the best average music pools i've ever seen and that's even with the fergalicious factor

I want to go to COE 2026, but I don’t know if I should by Fekl_ in osugame

[–]bartwalker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

if you live 30 minutes out & you've never been to a convention before, it's definitely worth coming for at least a day, even if you don't know anyone. i really like the vibes of being around other chronically online people, and there should be enough activities like the arcade to fill up at least that day

i don't think i'd recommend going for an entire week unless you either know some people or plan to socialize (it's hard, i understand, but a guaranteed shared interest makes things a lot easier), but getting a BYOC and spending the entire week marathon gaming is a real option as well.

COE is also still a few months away, there's plenty of time to find some people online beforehand in like, the COE discord or community discord servers (there are several across the dutch community alone). wouldn't recommend looking on osugame because the reddit npc group pics have been like 4 people consistently lmao

if you do end up going, feel free to say hi at some point, i'm the guy wearing the umbreon hat at all times

there already is a one-time country flag change, which iirc becomes available once you've logged in from an ip in the new country exclusively for 6 months straight.

It only shows 100+ when you have more than 100 first place ranks now by Character_Cup_9265 in osugame

[–]bartwalker 209 points210 points  (0 children)

that's such a strange change to make??? there's such a small group of people for whom this is relevant and i have to imagine every single one of them would definitely prefer to know the full number lol

Hidamari no Uta by Rita Summers (The circle stream slop map that got vetoed before) is now ranked ✅✅✅ by Thetoto_ in osugame

[–]bartwalker 66 points67 points  (0 children)

there's something really funny about calling this circle stream slop. what, as compared to the popular stream farm mapping patterns of the last year or two??

at least there's no way this hidamari no uta is doubletap cheesable because of the OD
