Cookiezi: The Greatest osu! Player of All Time

A short documentary about the man considered to be the greatest osu! player of all time, so I guess you could call this a sort of Minute Legends special.
P.S. Sorry if I messed anything up I made this very late with 5 hours of sleep.

Cookiezi will always be the goat. There was 100x more competition for #1 back in the day than there is today because the map pool was a lot smaller and the maps were not optimized for PP like they are today. Every #1 Contender in the last few years either just stops playing or just isn't interested in competing (vaxei, whitecat, merami, even mrekk burnt out for a long time). Look at his godmodes from 6-10 years ago and some of them are only now getting surpassed and also consider that he did these plays on garbage specs when we were all playing on potatos with 60hz

[@user-jf5xp9pr5k]

everyone always compare cookiezi to whitecat and vaxie, let me tell you guys.. the greatest doesn't mean the best, and the best doesn't mean the greatest.. if you don't understand what im sayin, the best is a technical category that goes down to strict measurables. the greatest is a subjective category that takes into account a player's overall impact and their overall legacy. and now you know without argue thats why cookiezi is the greatest player of all time just by witness his legacy.

[@nippon6155]

He is in fact the Goat

[@psychogirly910]

I see why Vaxei would be compared to Shige due to his absolute unrivaled domination in 2019 and 2020, but comparing WhiteCat to Shige is just dumb. Players like Shige broke the rules, were years ahead of their time. WhiteCat, appart from pp farming and 30 second 10* jumps, never was number 1 in anything in the game, nearly every player who reached number 1 in history was more ahead of their time (except a few cases like FreddieBenson). Not saying WhiteCat is a bad player at all, don’t get me wrong. To my mind he’s actually the second best player of 2020. But he sure doesn’t have the advance, nor the mindset, to be a true number 1 in my opinion, plus his fanbase is the absolute worst, his fans are so toxic, and he really popularized pp farming which is why the leaderboard is so shitty today.

[@nippon6155]

@@psychogirly910 kinda agree. But the PP Farming started when Mathi became #1.

I've never played Osu nor have I ever heard of Cookiezi but I'm glad I now do.

Really good story telling I really was captivated by what and how you were saying things even if you might not think it was anything special it kept me here for 17 mins and not once did I look down to see how much time was left yes it was and interesting topic but you delivered it really good and I got to learn about a player that I never heard of because I'm new to OSU so thanks for this bro

As a New Player I knew who Shige was before playing OSU videos of him would show up in my recommended which made me install OSU

[@saternates7495]

Started to know cookiezi since 2016, still a big fan of him eventhough what happened in the current day, its such a roller-coaster of memory happened, thanks willy!

[@ChattyCinnamon]

This is such a good video, it really captures the mystery and legend of Cookiezi, he was almost seen as a god among men amongst the community

[@alissonreinaldosilva1119]

I started playing right after he got banned. I got so sad watching his pre-ban videos, because I wouldn't be able to witness all those godly scores. When he was unbanned I got so freaking happy. I got to see many epic scores live (either in spec, Twitch, OpenRec), such as Image Material, Everything Will Freeze, Blue Zenith +HR then +HDHR, Freedom Dive +HR then +HDHR, and so many other cool scores. Good times!!!

"everyone will move on from games at some point and no one can keep playing osu forever..." that time has arrived

Thanks to you a huge amount of Osu history is now recorded in this video and preserved for the future otherwise it would have been lost and forgotten happy to see this and to hear cookiezi being mentioned again from the day that i started in 2015 i had huge respect for Cookiezi as the best player in the world and was inspired to be just like him.

I don't remember or know much about osu! However, Cookiezi rings a bell to me, for some reason.

"His last words: 'Im here to delete my account' " says "and this is osu! quality, don't do anything yet" afterwards in the same screenshot

just waiting but i think he does another rl things so he cant come back

Cookiezi never coming back?

[@matthiasheine1935]

It's just Osu! One of the greatest games I've ever played and I'm still playing. And what makes this game so great? It's the nice community compered to other games. And.. Cookiezi is just a legend. As long as I'm playing this game I always thought how's this even possible about his plays. He showed us almost always... Nope that's possible. Great game Great players God Cookiezi

[@bastionastray]

Rhythm Games has the best communities in the Gaming Industry from what i've seen. Indie Games have breeded out alot of amazing games but with amazingly toxic communities, Whereas no one dared to draw a NSFW piece of Deemo and the Osu community only making pp jokes lmao- The most toxic a Rhythm game community could get is by flexing i guess?
