[@zethz161]

For a Chinese, he's actually really good in English despite his heavy accent, and it's very interesting how fanzhen has a very strong point of view on designing a map solely based on the song and don't form a general style that someone forms after mapping for so long and I think that's how the Chinese community perceive mapping I guess. A lot of Chinese mappers like HW and Skystar has mapped so many maps, each with different quirks rather than a single quirk recognisable as 'its that one mapper's pattern' and I really find that quite interesting

[@Moltensheep]

I could generally understand him without looking at the subtitles, despite knowing literally no Chinese

PAPA FANZHEN HIMSELF SAID IT

[@Gashdal]

fanzhen comes across as an extremely intelligent guy who sees things most people can't, great interview. his english is in fact very good also, not sure what you meant by him not being the best at spoken english. unless you were just talking about his accent.

[@Doge_Owner]

I have been waiting for this, I even thought of asking you to make this video. Great work!

[@digtalfear1177]

Your videos are always top notch in their writing and editing, but this felt especially polished. I have really been enjoying your journey into learning about mapper perspective, and these last few videos have been excellent because of it. Fanzhen also has excellent English despite his accent, which helps make the conversation a lot more in depth and interesting. Thanks for the awesome content!

[@lows000]

very interesting video, thanks alot pishi i really enjoy these interviews!! fanzhen is a legend

[@erickschusterdeoliveira2662]

Wait was that fanzhen dressed as a trap at the end? Meaning that most of the time he's a cool guy but sometimes is a cool gal/trap?

[@ErunamoJazz]

Wow, I was really happy watching this interview, thank you!

[@ChronoTau]

that was a pretty interesting episode, fanzhen has some very interesting views on mapping and the overall video felt a lot shorter than 12 mins. good job, pishi (and the rest)!

[@kingz7151]

6:26 coming back and watching this now, this feels extremely true. Between 2016 and nowadays, I feel like "aesthetically pleasing" long sliders have been mastered and they aren't as special as they used to be, every tech map feels like it has slider design I've seen before hundreds of times and whilst that was the case years ago, it's becoming much more apparent.

[@CamelliaFlingert]

I'm not getting tired of sliders, my favorite patterns in osu, no matter how many years already passed

[@ZeldaMstr109]

this was a fucking blessing. thank you pishi, fanzhen, nyquill.

[@eyes-closed]

I love how every video you make, I learn a little bit more about the mapping community even though I’m not a mapper at all, I still really find this stuff interesting!

[@GameDSS]

He sounds like an african rebel

[@SheepeyDarkness]

Pishiii :D

[@StonkeyKong]

I don’t think you should have said he “doesn’t speak English”, if you could speak Chinese at the level he was speaking English it would be considered a great feat, just because he isn’t a native English speaker you shouldn’t be so critical. Maybe it wasn’t intentional, I’m just thinking of how hard it would be to speak Chinese.

[@trashokahn1445]

I think he meant he is hard to understand without subtitles. I mean he is good at english. He knows a lot of vocabularies and his grammar is correct.

[@kejarebi]

In China they teach you English almost as intensely as math but the noises Chinese characters make don't translate to English very well so most Chinese folks know oretty good English but have heavy accents. It took my mom 30 uears and she still has a noticeable Hong Kong accent.

[@gavinsenger9095]

I'm late, but he did say "spoken english". I think he was trying to relay that fanzhen might be harder to understand than other guests, and not trying to be offensive at all. I do agree, fanzhen has impressive English though.

[@controlpro438]

wait Hollow Wings is a girl?

[@CamelliaFlingert]

Honestly, i like creative persons and how they are thinking, but at the same time i want to say my opinion (based on my hurted feelings), what the matter how other people make their maps as long as they still looking not ugly and being fun to play? No one stops people from being creative and thinking in their way, mapping as they want, but please, for the god damn sake, never speak in such way as if you calling people, who love to play such maps - shit eaters (he didn't said that, but it literally sounds that way)

[@Arant007]

I really like NatsumeRin's maps. They are so many fun there. By the way, would you please change the world map in the video? I don't want to be political but it is not that polite when interviewing a Chinese but showing a map that offends our beliefs - the South Tibet belongs to China. Thank you
