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

[@PerpetualSheep]

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.

One of your best vids. I love these "mapper spotlights".

[@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!

[@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]

[@Enju125]

6:27 슬라이더에 미래가 없다는 의견이 좀 공감이 가네요. 저도 최근에 이상하게 뒤틀리고 매우 빠른 슬라이더가 많은 테크맵을 보고 쓰레기 맵이라고 생각했는데 다른 분들은 그걸 좋다 랭크해줘 pls하니 더 할말이 없어졌습니다. 커뮤니티 매핑의 생각은 리듬게임이 추구하는 것과 너무 동떨어져 있는 느낌입니다...

are you kidding me his english is really good. he's got an accent but vocabulary and grammar wise he could get like 95% on TOFL or something

i really like fanzhen's accent

Fanzhen is one of my all time favorite mappers. (most of the mappers I like happen to be chinese)

[@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.

Hello there

[@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)
