I heard Sette killed himself due to his father passing away from a heart attack, and he self-banned himself 7 days before he committed suicide.

[@glefyr]

damn

[@palettia]

just damn, man

[@ik0nino]

Where the hell did you get that from

[@hata1499]

It could make sense since Bikko was hesitating in his tweet about mentioning disappeared players. But thats a far stretch to take as evidence ​@@ik0nino

[@user-l6s]

@@ik0nino I remember one night (when I was still unbanned) I was browsing the forums of the osu! website and somehow came across a thread about a "Sette Appreciation Thread". I got that information from pure memory, but I could be wrong... Also, the thread seems to be deleted..? I can't find it anymore

[@swordkirby2002]

Nice video👍. Fun fact: TTTL is also known for the "TL" playstyle in taiko, where you hit the same key with two fingers to play faster patterns

[@1022fa]

non related, but SiLviA was one of my first inspirations as a mouse player when i first started playing, i used his skin for over a year and would play only maps that he had a score on and try to snipe him. good video tho and i hope more and more osu content creators will make more documentaries like this.

[@umadbro4493]

i also used to watch his rubiks cube 7x7x7

[@OnosakiHito]

That moment when you remember all of these names. Especially TTTL since he was both in osu! and Taiko a god for its time. Melancholy and ReimuSS I totally forgot about. Wow.

[@kaigo_takami]

the combo osu! + omori + story-telling + good voice and edit egual perfection

[@Molya]

Oh hey, I actually remember ReimuSS (well, the thread about Apple/Reimu multiacc thing in particular), TTTL and Sette. A really great video, holy click the circles.

[@arthurkmn6925]

you made me inspired to look into that and I actually found a photo of ekoro when he was a kid on the osu forum lol

[@traviis]

nice video, also I think the tweet you mentioned at 14:56 was from haga

[@MAXNENEMAX]

Huh I remember I chatted on his stream like a year ago and it was fine

[@MasterAnimit]

Great job! I'll only left two things here: - looking for an old JP blogs here may the the best choice you'd ever do. They're suprisingly often up despite of years, untoched from old Osu times and contains many of the most weird and unhinged game's lore. Maybe only old Naver Korean forums may deal with that. - I'll not find a source here, but I remember that also some drama and conflicts between top JP players were involved in their downfall. From 2014 World Champions to a lose in Group Stage of OWC 2015 (and with only 2 previous year team members still playing) and no team at all in 2016 (they just couldn't decide).

[@4_qu]

i absolutely love looking at old osu history, it's always fun to look at old liveplays since the playstyles used to vary so much more compared to nowadays thanks for making this video, learned about a ton of new old players i hadn't even heard of until now

[@KuipurrCat]

Great video, lovely research. A good watch! :D

[@player-6165]

iirc, before tap+x is now called "tap+x", tobebuta was the person who really pushed that playstyle to the forefront, thus some would call tap+x "tobestyle".

[@燻]

As a Japanese person, I can confirm that most people here don't understand english at all so idk why Japan is ranked so high🤔

[@KacKLaPPeN23]

As someone who's now been living in japan for 3 months and has a hard time with japanese.... I agree. I also heard that there is a new ranking where japan came in second to last and I would agree with that. Though it's also always the people you expect the least who end up being able to speak pretty decent english. I picked up a rental car once and after about 30min of google translate conversation with the rental guy, the 60+ year old mechanic came to say hi and speak to us in english lmao.

[@404unfx_osu]

9:20 the video was saved on the Internet Archive Wayback Machine, it looks like it was unlisted for a while but because of KZbin privating all unlisted videos made before a specific time period it was probably privated as a result of that.

[@nao__channel]

great stuff mate, its always nice to see actual good osu content especially when it touches on relatively obscure stuff like this

[@blizzart2547]

That was a really fun dive into that old era, good stuff :)

[@bananacat3109]

i like that you actually did your own research as well as you could

[@jent14]

Really interesting video on an interesting topic Thank you for making quality osu! content!!

[@Raccnarr]

A video about Scandinavian Osu players sounds interesting

[@nsmkii]

6:00 literally my setup rn

[@hi_am_disturbia]

I beg you. Don't stop making videos. Fantastic topic

[@TuuGame]

Fun fact: osu!catch is not based on EZ2Catch, but rather on rdm Catch it! mode ; )

[@seg3620]

0:35 in ez2catch you use turntable to catch fruits and your catcher's speed is unlimited, while in osu!catch you use left and right controls + dash and your catcher speed is limited, so ez2catch has nothing to do with osu!catch being kinda popular in sk

[@n1cklz]

always love the peppercrab research amazing video keep it up :D

[@palettia]

I hope you continue with this and make a type of series with it, back then I found some of the oldest osu players and I found one from my country (México) called Nitro iirc, and only found a few replays and tournament runs from him, I asked in an osu latinoamerican server and nobody could tell who he was and I really wanna know what happened to him 😢

[@MasterAnimit]

This guy who was HDHR main and did 565 PP from The Watercolour Incident?

[@palettia]

@MasterAnimit exactly that one

[@holopleasures7097]

"Japan is not that bad at English" lol trust me as a japanese our english is pretty bad

[@Peasch]

Hopefully BMC reacts to this, really good vid

[@playakatsukirelax]

14:52 you said it was a japanese mapper but haga1115/siina tweeted something very similar

[@chakrawarrior5645]

It is haga the leaderboard farmer that said he bans anyone not speaking Japanese from his twitch. English greetings are allowed tho

[@spikedjackson741]

Super interesting video, thanks for sharing what you found :)

[@MrNoLife_osu]

it's also not just that they're rank 11th overall as a country, but what's sadder is that for OWC this year (2024) they're 20th seed and exited in QF-LB1 which is around 17th-24th in placing which is expected from quals seed but still sad to see them fight the best teams like they used to

[@jswitch3005]

Yea that's cos none of their best players were playing aside from rioshi and teachyy. They literally had 5x 4 digits which only rollpan I've heard of

[@ngebrot7316]

[@BlueChinchompa]

I hope you uploaded the blogs to internet archive

[@blazewashere7479]

Amazing video man.

[@LynAkihiro]

BTMC needs to watch this

[@kurean5808]

Japan recently ranked around 95 (among over 100 countries) in English proficiency so I wouldn’t say Japan is necessarily the best at english
