Of course good is subjective, lets give it a definition. Good can mean various things but lets break it down.
I read that top ~100k of players are the ones that are actually active.
Sum of 1 to N = n(n+1)/2
Sum of 1 to 100000 = 100000(100000+1)/2 = 5000050000
Mean of 1 to N = (1+N)/2 Where N > 1
Mean of 1 to 100000 = 100001/2 = 50000.5
STD of 1 to N = sqrt( (1/N) * Sigma(((1 to N) - Mean)^2) = (too much work going to approximate)
As you add 1 to a sum the standard deviation appears to go up by roughly .3
The STD from 1 to 30 is 8.803 so it is a little less than .3 (lets do .28)
STD of 8.803 and assuming the curve of ranks is normal (it isn't, its not even quantitative)
So extrapolate this trend 8.803 + (.28 * 99970) = ~28k ( o boy is this going to be funny)
So to be in the top 84% of players you have to be rank (Mean - 1 STD) which is = 22,000 or 22k
(Holy shit statistics actually gave us a close answer from by bullshit.)
To be in the top 5% you have to be in the -6k rank which means rrtyui, WWW, Sayonara, and Lewa, yes I said it, lewa are absolute shit.
When players such as WWW and Lewa calls themselves shit it means they have simply done the math and know no matter how hard they try, no matter how they beg the osu gods, -6k rank is not in their league. It is in the 4th dimension. Math does not lie in this case it did
Cookiezi, our lord, is the only one that comes close.
