[@vovovovovovovovovovovovovovovo]

They don't call him the Popeye of osu for no thing.

[@skalstar]

I tend to lick the corner of my lips and lock my jaw, or close my lips and pressure them together. It's seen in other game genres as well like RTS's arena shooters, mobas, intense game genres. Osu! is just so explosive like you can go from 5kps to 15 in like 1 second so you see it much more. I can guarantee you that theres people who do the same as you but don't notice it.

[@NakanoTenchi]

that muscle that is popping out is the brachioradialis and it needs alot of bicep strain to pop out like that

[@NokamuOviedo]

Hi Willy, I saw your Snow Goose video and I felt identified with the facial gestures you were doing, more than laughing I admired the confidence you have to show that, probably because I am very shy, I do not have that confidence, the thing is that I also make very strong gestures with my face while playing. If a friend or someone is near me, I just cannot play, they would laugh, it has always been that way, also I can't stream or upload a video showing my face. For me, this does not only happen in osu, I also do focus faces while playing other games like cs, valo or lol, or even if I am just doing something with my fingers that require concentration, like fixing or working with small pieces. It would be cool for me to have your confidence to show this kind of awkward faces ewe. Adding to the video, this is like when you try to thread a needle (many ppl could find this situation more familiar): usually, when someone try to do it, they may find themselves sticking out the tongue or doing something with the lips, we do the same thing while focusing on games, but much stronger.

[@maklovitz]

That strengthening core process at the critical point leads me to open my mouth and it happens so much when i play speed maps that I think I ate a bunch of flies througout my life. And Im so glad I never streamed with facecam lmao

[@maklovitz]

Also subcpncious tapping with left feet to the bpm to keep the body in resonance is another weird thing

[@eren-desu]

looks like me tweaking off the spongebob cart

[@rae5803]

I was curious one day and recorded my face during a session. Looked back at the footage and JESUS my face looks really goofy

[@rafaeldel7]

context: the face is tense so as not to tense the hands with which it plays, like singers with their vocal cords

[@Joshy-]

you're just locked in

tl;dr: willy does amphetamines and other stimulants

[@longlivekubek]

I'll save you 5 minutes, Willy's aiming with his jaw and clicking with tongue.

[@tikkanenosu]

willy just gives 100% when playing

I have the same tapping technique, but my jaw isn't trying to run away as much

[@YUEjyut]

Reminds me of the way Lily would move her body when playing SM. Think its a common thing to happen to people when pushing usually

[@deidara6958]

2:56 I think the muscle is called brachioradialis and I tense it almost all the time whenever I play fast streams or singletap really fast

[@nloadergd9193]

now i know why your tapping is so satisfying to hear lol, i thought it was your keyboard

[@KAPNOYR]

finally the truth

[@idk_0727]

bros yap got him here

[@snekye5419]

what's funny is someone mentioned it under one of your vids like a few days ago and I immediately figured it out myself. I noticed you'd be relaxed when doing slow parts, then a bit tense with fast singletapping, then doing the most funny faces when streaming

[@Relics]

Willy the realest

[@koya-l4v]

Whatever you do, don't turn those faces into nfts

i definitely feel it happening to myself as well, with a different tapping style, and also to a lesser degree when playing rx

willy i used to have the same tapping style in the past

[@yukizie4533]

I always rapidly open and close my mouth when I full focus playing hard sections, usually I open and close following a rhythm.

[@xx_nerman_xx]

im pretty sure my mouth just hangs wide open and when i stream my whole head just vibrates

[@Igris_yu]

3:00 is probably bracioradialis

[@Akenowoo]

ive always had this no matter what im playing. Looking at some fortnite clips from when i was like 10 years old i was doing this aswell. Everytime i shoot or press a key while focused i will move my mouth a lot to one side and i dont notice it

i feel like everyone plays osu differently and i really like the breakdown of all of how your technique worked, was surprising but very interesting. completely unrelated question, will you ever do an osu history video about peppy's wall of shame?

[@BreadTeleporter002]

I have very bad focus face and core control when im playing specifically TF2, I have very specific old habits build up over oh i don't know...11,000 hours? You can imagine i have quite the odd focus posture and face (jaw fully open, neck tensed but not forwards and back tensed) that is probably from my time lifting so I kinda go into deadlift form while sitting. Also ily Willy, keep it up- OSU BABY- also I play with 2 floating wrists on my mouse and keyboard, its a result of having like, 10.6~ inch hands, I measured.

[@etreleon2310]

I don't do that but my little brother does. It's supposed to help with concentration. Sometimes i'll have a few pieces of hard candy or something and it works similarly for concentration, I think.

[@yuutsutv]

Hey there, Willy, I have some form of this, but it’s not making faces. I tilt my whole head to the right as I continuously strain my neck and shoulders to take strain away from my arms.

[@lonelyweeb03]

This is what anyone would call the concentration face. It's not uncommon to do that, it is absolutely normal to do something like this while you're concentrating on a game. I'm doing this myself and I see nothing wrong with it!

[@weabowoshi]

I cried enough tears to see my own reflection in them And then it was clear I can't deny, I really miss it To think that I was wrong I guess you don't know what you got 'til it's gone Pain is just a consequence of love I'm saying sorry for the sake of us

[@inappropriate2804]

i do have something like taht but my case is like 10 times more sever. i cant stop doing it even when its in public. but it only happens when im excited ( i know its called tics)

[@NicAngelo]

i also do that while playing harumachi clover

[@pirateosu9407]

i used to have a focus face but my friend pointed it out so i stopped doing it because it was embarrassing lol

[@osuhayde]

[@BahnOsu]

no one asked Rafis, back in 2018 we (my group) just used to say "Bro i just pulled a Rafis" xD Edit- I didnt know anyone else did what I do when tapping, like the amount of force, the arm strain, tapping harder on singletap jumps, its kind of like a sound queue so my brain knows i actually hit the note. Just like you everything i do in osu i start to curl up as well, never knew someone especially a top player would have the similar situation while playing xD

Sometimes I get the same facial reaction especially when I start being out of Stam with too high bpm for me. Hopefully no one see me, once my cousin enter without preventing and saw me smashing some circle with a crazy face... XD

[@gothemcloud]

I have a similar tapping technique and play speed and I strain my neck a little bit just at like 5% of the extent.

[@Aimiya_Ria]

hi willy have you tried this angle in your streams? (in 3:23) i thin this looks better in ur streams rather than the top pov

[@Kaofie]

Hey i got a very similar, hard hitting tapping style! My face doesn't contort to the same extent though, maybe because i have my chair much higher/desk lower and all that arm strain doesn't go into the neck area as much? all theory at this point tbh

[@JessicaFEREM]

I do the same thing but a bit less apparent. Played hockey as a kid. Also I bite my shirt a bit in the same spot as you clearly donated by the huge hole in your collar, although again my holes are less big. Edit: also my tapping is pretty hard but my ACC is much worse than yours
