osu! Score Progression: FREEDOM DiVE [FOUR DIMENSIONS]

FREEDOM DiVE is a song that needs no introduction to any rhythm game player. In osu! it's pretty much as legendary as they come in the world of mapping and some major events in the game's history have happened around this map.

There was a time when FDFD was rated 2.5 star difficulty due to the difficulty overflow in old system. See the beginning of cookiezi 2012 liveplay. That's why the description says easy but hell.

I remember that! But I never realized why the description said easy difficulty. Thanks for the great info!

[@user-vh9gf2ym6b]

this is my exact game goal as well, i even started playing in april lol. all i want is to pass the another difficulty, and then one day pass 4 dimensions. gl bro.

Players like WhiteCat, Vaxei and Merami proved us wrong by showing that the plays we once considered impossible were possible by doing them. Cookiezi, set scores that we didn't even consider thinking if they were possible. -A very fanboi Shadowa 2020

[@isoreii5062]

It's so crazy he set a score 4 years ago and nobody has even come close to beating it lol

[@ShadowaOsu]

@@isoreii5062 technically nobody has beaten his nomod score without using mods either, for 7+ years

[@YGOkid8]

@@ShadowaOsu I mean his NoMod score is already near the pinnacle of NoMod scores (1x100), so saying no one has beat it NoMod is... kinda expected and sensible?

[@ShadowaOsu]

@@YGOkid8 I got your point but even if it was an SS, there could be other people in 7+ years that could also SS the map, or in this case beat his score Its not like he SS'd a no spinner map so nobody didn't beat the score you know. 7+ years is a REALLY long timefor any score to remain unbeaten

[@YGOkid8]

​@@ShadowaOsu You are technically not wrong, but I mean to call out how redundant it is to say. Where's the value in anyone saying they hold the highest SS NoMod score for x years on any number of maps? You're already nearing the limits of score with that mod combination, so of course that's to be expected. This is applicable to whatever map difficulty.

[@joaopedrog.1465]

Hey, you forgot about Balpo's SS with EZ.

[@johnnygodoy8329]

I can't quite find it, but I remember that when cookiezi came back to streaming (before being unbanned), he also got an FC with around 6x100 on first try, at would've been #1 even when derusting.

[@wcz2891]

this just makes it so nostalgic, damn its been a long time, shige.

[@mazi1597]

Another reason why I love Cookiezi so much is cuz we were with him as he progressed all the way. WhiteCat is a great player but he came to the scene with a very establish skill from the get go, not as exciting as the Cookiezi era imho
