if u want him to see this the only sure way is to turn this vid into a beatmap

[@cjwrecks7418]

finally someone made a video on this guy. the respect i have for the player who just sits and plays every/any map in the most absurd way possible with 0 care for his performance is unreal.

[@thesaltyspoon7483]

I didn’t put it in the vid but there were quite a few times where he seemed kinda upset? that he choked? Like he would cursor dance like crazy when he missed just before the end of the map. Which is kinda wild considering how much he doesn’t seem to care about his performance with the mods he chooses and stuff

[@nexavah]

@@thesaltyspoon7483 could also be doing that solely because you show up as a spectator

[@cjwrecks7418]

My guess is he's just got annoyed you were spectating him while he was just playing maybe and the miss was almost like a compounding anger? Which might explain why he just goes offline and doesn't like talking to people. @@thesaltyspoon7483

It could be something similar to that, like someone who has a lot of free time due to disability, or someone who needs to actively be around the house to give care to another person.

[@namthezoo]

Wow, I knew this player was mysterious but i never thougt anyone would make an entire video about them! Very interesting osu lore.

[@nadebeef6529]

He probably chose OSU when someone asked “If you could only play one game for the rest of your life, what would it be?”.

[@AghoshBPrasad]

From a fellow osu gamer standpoint, this player is wholesome and interesting mainly because of the quirks. But from a medical standpoint I am concerned with his mental health. This is pure speculation, he may be experiencing some combination of depression, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Avoidant Personality Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Selective Mutism to name a few. I beleive he needs real help depending on what he is going through. People showing psychological manifestations of various conditions often play video games as it satisfies their specific mental needs.

[@thesaltyspoon7483]

that may be true but for someone who plays such an unfathomable amount of osu I think it's harder to predict what his mental circumstance is than you think because you need to be wired so incredibly differently from other people to play like this.

[@detecta]

i doubt its that serious and hes just doing it for the sake of it but like 8h a day constantly is kinda worrying

Finally a vid on this guy. As a taiko player I always see this guy everywhere and i've been so confused by what he does. I hope he comes out soon and can provide some explanation!

[@mary-rp9fp]

these videos you made make me so damn happy i fucking love them and the idea that i will click on something that covers subjects about osu that have little to none documentation or discussion about, which at least for me is one of the things that make the game so fun

[@thesaltyspoon7483]

Thanks boss

[@paronlp1447]

I noticed them on a ctb leaderboard just today, they didn't move or play the map at all... Truly a unique playstyle. It would be interesting to know what's it all about, but if they'd rather stay out of the public, that decision should be respected.

[@ninjaskull1001]

osu420 has goals beyond our understanding, he's truly ahead of his time

[@rokikubo]

i feel like this guy is having the most fun with osu.....or they are unwell. could be either. big respect regardless

[@seazeiscool]

this would make a great national geographic documentary, "and now we see an osu420 in his natural habitat, playing maps, and shall not be disturbed in any way by spectators." im also concerned on what this guy is going through irl (assuming not a multiaccount), like 10 hours of playtime every single day ?? idk i feel like him playing a Shrek full movie map is a cry for help

[@asaistudios]

awesome, i love online deep dives into strange characters. all im saying is that osu420 has insane potential to set up some kind of arg rn.

[@Furrniks]

I have been following osu420 since august of 2023. I tried to compete against him in new ranked maps (only std tho), but very soon I realized that this dude is a beast and unbeatable. honestly this dude is inspiring I wonder what his motives are...

[@sparkthedragon]

personally i feel like he is just a guy with a tons of time to burn on his favorite game and for fun he decides to try to be as mysterious as hell just to fuck with people and make people question who he is and what his intentions are, when they may only be purposely so mysterious so people question so much

[@sk82116]

i love your videos so much, thank you for covering more obscure stuff

[@xtwon]

holy this is a video i really wanted and it actually exists now

[@loof6499]

This video’s popping off congrats man

[@JessicaFEREM]

is it possible that he plays while working? that would explain the AFKing in the middle of maps, and 10 hours is about the length of the average work day. maybe he started off as a nobody and wanted to turn this little side hobby of him playing osu while slacking at work into an ARG

[@cirrious139]

And I thought my peak play count was super high

[@thesweetspoon8683]

Loved this video! Good work Salty Spoon :)

[@thesaltyspoon7483]

[@smol_dolfin]

looking forward to the osu420 and weed machine collab

[@bmc_clips]

Great video, it's really interesting to see a player enjoying the game in such a unique way without looking for attention or anything, just for themselves. Also, playing 10 hours a day for over two months is absolutely insane dedication, it's legit impressive

Dude this guy is the Bing Soy of osu

[@spebs4819]

Being in a spectator chat with other people from this video was really fun :) I have a theory that he wants to be the first person to play all the maps on osu! in every playmode. Thats why he only plays some notes at the start of the gamemodes that he doesn’t care about.

[@Mijii1]

Another interesting profiles: noodleshredder (10k D ranks), Alyzhie (one of the highest amount of SS in ctb in a relatively short period of time and relatively low play count), -DreamLess - (without space, highest playtime), Ilmeria (highest play count, also peaked at #63 back in 2019), - Biia (medal rank #1), also shown in this video: Zalaria (highest std SS count), Sleepteiner (highest SS count in total, also 2nd std)

[@whyareyoulookingatthislol]

Don't forget No A Rank, a possible multi (doubtful) that as the name suggests ONLY goes for A ranks. Biia seems very cool it would be cool to see a vid abt her

[@Neo08254]

Always great to see more people making entertaining content about osu! But i am kind of worried that this video will lead to people spam-spectating him or just trolling him. He probably just wants to play osu in his own way and not communicate. And i think if he actually ends up responding to why he plays the way he does that it will completely take away what makes him interesting/mysteries in the first place. Well done video though!
