osu420 | Osu's most mysterious player

[@idonated50jellybeanstothew56]

my theryourye: it is 2015. osu420 is weed machine's son. once weed machine was playing osu and osu420 was watching and he was fascinated by the game. He makes an account named after his father's job using the term 420, and then osu420 was born. A couple of years later weed machine's wife decided to search through his phone while he was sleeping and found that he had been telling people on r3ad it "we dont care". She was very disgusted by his actions and decided to leave him with the child. The next day weed machine wakes up and realizes his wife left him. He decides to give his son his old keypad, computer, keyboard, and tablet and told him to stay in the basement so he could look for his wife. On the computer, osu420 decides to play osu! He was very happy that he could finally play osu! all day instead of being only able to play an hour max a day which made him completely forgot about his parents. Its janurary 2023. A few weeks passed by and osu420 was running out of food. Weed machine, his father, hadn't came home yet ( he left to get milk and never came back). So he decides to look for some food. He find this group of teens who were his age and the group realizes osu420 could barely speak english. He only knew about weed and osu!. The teens, who are unable to speak with him well, decides to follow his footsteps in the snow and found his house. In osu420's house, there was a lot of weed because his father was a weed machine who could make infinite weed. The teens, who dearly wanted weed, start praising osu420. They decide to make him a house with infinite internet so osu420 could enjoy. A year later, its janurary 2024. osu420 was enjoying playing osu! all day. Weed machine, however, got tired of trying to find his wife and decided to go back home. He then realizes his son was missing. He got extremely worried and decided to go on his computer to file a police report. However, he decided to play osu! for a bit because sotarks ranked a new map and he needed the pp. While checking the ranking of the newly ranked map, he sees the name osu420. He realizes that was his son and immediately started spectating him. The son realizes that his father was watching and got very scared because he wanted to keep playing osu! all day. osu420 decides to keep on exiting the game so his father wouldnt think its him. However he realized that was stupid and tried playing dumb maps like the shrek movie so his father would get bored and stop spectating. However, that didnt work. So osu420 started acting like he didnt know who weed machine was. the end idk how to continue this

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

THE GOAT

[@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.

[@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

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

[@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

[@thesaltyspoon7483]

What the fuck

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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

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!
