Cookiezi - FREEDOM DIVE (OSU Play) : My Reaction Videos # One Thousand Four Hundred & Twenty Eight!

[@kizunahenta.1759]

I'm impressed this older guy figured out the game infinitely faster than anyone else I've seen

[@tttiiny]

lol ikr my 15 yo friends is so confused when i play it

[@craftgamersplyx_8797]

He figured it out as fast as when i first introduced to OSU XD

[@Swaex]

That moment when an old man understands osu by watching for 20 seconds and i have to tell my friends for 5min how the game is played and they still don't understand...

[@quellavenix1262]

His IQ is OVER 9000!!

[@therealkoishikomeji9260]

Older people just know more things from a technological standpoint, I've actually became like that ever since I started using old fashioned technology, where I would usually understand how a thing works just by pressing a few buttons, or usually just by looking at it. That's how their technology worked.

[@grassgrow030]

You sir have a very sharp mind, that you figured out the concept of the game out so quickly. Most people new to this game don't know whats going on at all.

[@williamroeben]

It took me the full video to figure it out- I feel so slow! I thought the guy was DOODLING on a tablet while playing at first!! :) Thank you so much for making me feel better, tho :)

[@soopFPS]

"I refuse to be youtube cancer." I love this guy already.

[@Blankethaver]

he basically figured out how osu works in like 30 seconds

[@J7ze]

Cat Chaos osu!IsMyDiagnosisOfAutism ikr its more insane then tha game play

[@this_too_shaII_pass]

That's really impressive how you understood what is going on so quickly, I would like to point out though that the music is actually very important for the game, it's a bit hard to notice in this song since there are so many circles coming so quickly, but every circle actually follows the beat of the music. For example this song is 220 beats per minute, and the long chains of circles are made up of circles coming every 1/4 beat. To get a good score you need to hit all circles with good timing :)

[@williamroeben]

If I'd watched a slower song or a less skilled player I might have seen that- maybe :) As it is, he was just TOO GOOD- it looked FLAWLESS and painless!

[@this_too_shaII_pass]

Yes exactly! :)

[@lonesome_dreams]

_For a guy who never seen an osu! before and judging everything from the first video, you've described it pretty well. It was quite enjoyable to watch your reaction to Cookiezi's play._

I just found your channel through your newest osu! video and the fact that you caught onto the game mechanics so quickly, I'm actually quite pleasantly surprised! Not many people can do that within the first 10 minutes or so of watching someone play this. Keep doing what you're doing, because you're doing it right. :)

I love NSCY because when he reacts, it's so genuine! He's not over or under-reacting, but commenting on whatever he wants, and that's pretty rare to see. I love that even when he sees things like this which people far younger than him mainly play, he will still be intrigued, and in this case, he actually started playing it!

[@Cuadar]

Dang he realized what was going on pretty quickly compared to most people

hes true actually. the higher star maps you play the less it actually becomes a rythm game... :thinking:

[@acidcacti.8472]

In a way yes since higher star ratings are more overmapped, but maps at like 5-6 stars are usually still not at a point where they are overmapped

[@ConspoLopes]

Omg am so happy you reacted to this! This play was done by Cookiezi, which is the current #1 in the world ranking of Osu! And yes he is indeed aiming with the stylus and clicking accurately :)

[@Wilker_uwu]

i do not remember the last time a reaction video arrived into my recommended section. most of these kinds of videos are just content stealing and stuff. actual talk about shown content is very rare. i liked it, good work :)

[@Everett02]

Why do I see you everywhere? I've seen you in the osu beatmap comments, twitter and now youtube XD

the thing about it being a rythm game is that the circles that you click are usually in sync with the song. the map might get faster as the song gets faster and slower as the song gets slower

The music is not just background music He is clicking according to the bpm (222)

[@toop4538]

Ok i love this old man already He knows more than most people here on youtube

[@rainbowgamer8860]

Unfortunately, this beatmap was a poor example of this game being a rhythm game. Usually, the circles would be placed so that they fit into the rhythm of the song. That makes it slightly easier than just having music in the background there to distract you. You were right though, you use your mouse to direct the cursor over the circles, and you use some of the keys to click at the right moments.

[@MintyCodes]

No he's not..?

"KIND OF IMPRESSING"

[@kewinjurgensen8836]

Its is a rythm game, the circles that are in a row are 16/4's so it is a rythm. Not all people notice that but i am very impressed with how you kinda knew what happened, some of my friends (who are gamers) dont even know whats going on!

[@unikk1314]

Your watching a gameplay of one of the gods of this game

[@Chiimaeraa]

Man you have an amazing personality

[@digtalfear1177]

I am new to your channel, and saw the video because it was posted to the osu! subreddit I am very impressed to see you fully understand the game within one play, and it's not because of your age. I've had a hard time explaining this game to friends while playing it because they just didn't get it. You even picked up on the rhythm part about it being less about the music and more about accurately clicking to its beat. He was playing using a drawing tablet to move to the circle, and then clicking the keyboard to press each circle. Looks like you have a pretty cool channel, nice video!

[@stun2235]

[@yohariko]

I'm actually glad you watched this version because if you watched the +HDHR one I don't think you'd have as much of a grasp of the game as you do from watching this one. There are different game modes in osu! though, this one was Standard mode, the others are Catch the Beat, Mania, and Taiko. Top players in every mode are ridiculously skilled, and they're fun to watch. Exgon is a Catch the Beat player and without a doubt is an alien. Here's one of his best plays: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5XOeGZsq6ubp6s

[@ertyui1807]

The music isn't really just in the background it for sure helps to click more accurately

when it comes to hit circle rhythm it can go either along with something in the song or sometimes the map creator can make it go on and do its own thing

You see, cookiezi isnt human

[@simonshura9144]

He played and practised more then anyone else i bet thats the secret u know

[@xpszgamingtool7524]

I play osu, and found this in my recommended. Oddly intriguing video. Just wish people would recommend Shigetora's actual good plays like his unranked plays, not just freedom dive to be honest. Great video though!

[@sirskyrage]

xpszgaming TooL does ghost rule count? I mean it's loved so basically it's not ranked. And I think yomi yori is rather good too(even tho 4 misses)

[@lulgrim]

He does. He uses the Tablet to aim, while he uses the Keyboard to Click for single Hitcircles. He holds the Keys for a certain amount of time if he sees a slider.

[@williamroeben]

I wonder how that tablet system even works?

[@surrealism8843]

People new to osu! often can't catch up with the circles on harder maps which makes them think it dosen't match up to the rhythm.

[@uaekappa]

This is the last thing I thought I would see you reacting to. Quite a pleasant surprise, this is my favorite game :D In the game, the player (Cookiezi, and it's a he) is using the tablet to move the cursor (the yellow ball flying around) to the circles in time with the music, and when the outer circle closes in on it, taps with the keyboard. What makes this play impressive, is that since his right hand is occupied with the tablet and pen, he is restricted to only being able to use his left hand to tap. If the note is hit too early or late, the overall accuracy (Shown in the top right during gameplay) decreases.

[@williamroeben]

Now I am even MORE impressed than I originally was! Hokey smokes!

[@uaekappa]

Hah, I had the same reaction when I originally found out!

[@bakachocolate]

as he has to click circles with 2 fingers only and rapidly, his left hand would suffer a lot. Usually many players would suffer from immersive pain and feel tired easily. Like in 6:09 he clicks 33 times accurately in just 2-3 seconds. Cookiezi is some of the top players who can keep up with the speed.

[@lordlamington5917]

it is a rhythm game because you click with the beat of the song. that song was just so fast it was a bit harder to tell

[@williamroeben]

That's because of reasons I spoke of at the beginning of EVERY reaction video that I do. Skip that part, did you?

[@jaeger2278]

It's not necessarily a criticism, its a compliment . because you put a lot of work into your videos, considering most reaction videos on youtube is just a guy watching a video and saying 'thats amazing' once or twice and thats all the work they put into the videos

[@ChronoTau]

The clicks are synced to the music, all those tapping noises you here aren't part of the song, they're a way of hearing if you clicked in time, so it is even more impressive when you realise that he's tapping to a 220 BPM so You should also react to Cookiezi play The Pretender on double speed in this game.

[@jakethereaper2060]

The Clicks are actually an instrument its by default in the game a drum sound effect hes just using a skin so its less distracting and his screen isnt covered up in "300"s

[@RimuKora]

Some senior citizen listen to some +200BPM Music!

[@1234Rokas]

You should definitely see some more clips regarding this game, you'll be mindblown even more considering how advanced in terms of skill the people are compared to the previous days. One of the reasons this play is so impressive is because of the BPM also known as Beats per minute (duh). The higher the BPM, the faster you have to click and what he did in this video most of the times is click at the speed of 222bpm 1/4th beat which is approx. 15 clicks per second. some people managed to reach up to 300bpm which is ~20 clicks per second (some even clicked 300bpm singletap which is approx. 10 clicks per second). It's not exactly a rhythm game, but at the same time it is. There's a reason why. What you saw being played is called a "beatmap" and the beatmap is created by an individual person. He put all the octagones there in what he feels should be the "beat" or "rhythm" of the song at which you click, if it's a rhythm of a song like that, they're usually put 1/4th beat apart and you have to click them really fast following the trail, however, some songs aren't like that and they have a drum beat to them that's 1/2 beat, but at the same BPM. Those are put at a distance between each other and it takes aim to hit them, especially if they're far apart and are relatively fast. Finally, the tunnel-looking things are called "sliders" and you have to click the octagone with the number (by the way, they're literally called circles, just circles, nothing else) and follow the ball inside the trail, there's a small area that you can go outside of the "ball" thingy, but it's so small you're basically always in the ball. I hope I could give you some useful information and didn't give too much of a mindfuck

[@williamroeben]

I appreciate every bit of information- it is GREATLY appreciated! Thank you so much and have a GREAT day today!
