You guys have spoken and the results are finally in! Personally I was hoping something to overtake Gangnam Style style for #1, but it held strong with a 66% lead in votes over FREEDOM DiVE at #2. Check out the full list of the top 100 maps here!

Gangnam style is greatly overrated. People voted for the song, not for the map

Pretty much this.

Also, no one really good map was picked.

What a shame.

It is very clear what the votes where based upon and it is clearly not the quality of the map itself, nor the interaction with the storyboard.

I am disappointed, the result are very different of what I voted for:(
Freedom dive, mythologia, big black, scarlet rose ... I don't even have a chance of getting high in the chart

FREEDOM DiVE gets the second place. Mostly because it's a hell map? (Considering Scarlet Rose and Mythologia's End are tying for third, this makes sense.)

So most votes fall to popular songs and/or hell maps. A good look at osu!'s demographics.

Congrats for the mapper of Gangnam Style for seizing the opportunity of, well, making the Gangnam Style beatmap so it can win Best of 2012. :D

The votes were clearly made for the remarkability of the map, and not the song. If it were the song, we wouldn't have maps like Big Black or Freedom Dive, which redefined the standards for extremely tough maps in 2012.

Nevertheless, rainbow dash in #60 was actually very surprising.

Can't agree it. Top 100 of 2012 is still dominated by Touhou, anime op/ed and Vocaloid. However there are still additional cases so we saw FD, big black, dragons and so forth on the list

so the order people vote is basically:

1. songs' popularity
2. date of maps being ranked (Dec→Jan)
3. map's difficulty (Extra→Insane)
4. who's the mapper
5. maps' quality

but all of those don't matter. This is what more important ↓

best solution: remove gangnam style and all val/nakagawa/bd maps and re-do it.

Yep, this pins it down perfectly. People forget about maps which are older than 2-3 months unless they were blasted away by the map or the song is particularly good for them. One just doesn't have a good overview about every single map they've played. even when I voted I forgot a few maps which are actually amazing, yet failed to remember them (coz I got bad memory mb ? ._.).
Can't change anything about it though, congrats to yeahyeahyeahhh & may the song not influence the votes as much in '13

Lol I mapped it cause I liked the song not so it can win best of 2012. Happy30 and I mapped it just for fun.how the fuck was I supposed to know it was going to become so popular? I guess I'm psychic.

Some of you guys are taking this shit wayyyyyyy too personally .

Grats to all mappers of 2012, some great maps I enjoyed this year, looking forward to some good maps this year as well.

Sigh...totally expected this. Like the majority of popular polls,the most popular songs/maps win instead of the other ones. This happened on many polls,and well,I'm not surprised on seeing these results.

i guess this would happen when it was decided that the app maps also count, but i never thought it would be so dominating. i cant say it is better or worse than the past ones, just a little curious that if voters really chose the maps they really consider as "best"

0108 the biggest winner for create/take part in half of the top 10, really amazing, really

None of my maps made it top 100 as expected. I'm still curious to know how many votes they had. Would it be possible to have that information ?

dear andrea, you know it's not easy for every mapper to rank a map. this game has an incredibly rigid ranking system, which is not quite enjoyable to get that shit done.

we love this game and we respect all the mappers who work hard to create the awesome maps that make this game funny enough to play with. you'd better not to tell people they care too much because you don't care, andrea can get a map ranked within 48hrs, but normally, they CAN NOT

I am heavily disappointed. This is way worse than last year.

Well, it might be unfair towards newer members of the community (better call them playerbase) but I think one shouldn't be allowed to vote unless one has decent experience about maps (that means a specific playcount).

Edit: or maybe give more experienced members more weigth on their votes.

Dont overreact >_> My map got ranked in almost a whole year and it is not in this ranking, And I dont care that much about it = =

I think the maps are finely mapped and I thought some of them were actually fun to play OAO;;

Map insane stuff (=we have 8+ nhyperinsane maps in top30) then boom there goes your best of 2012

I do understand ppl who votes for gangnam style. but honestly why the bigblack fd? can even ppl pass it?

especially freedom dive, not even 10 ppl in this game can pass it nonemod. I'm not saying that the map is bad but i just cant understand.


ppl votes for something that they cant even play and call it a best of 2012. great job guys

Gangnam Style is heard by millions worldwide, so they wanted to play this song in music games, like osu!. So they think... no other option, just to vote Gangnam Style.

Are they voting properly? It's appropriate to vote for the mapping style, but not the song.
