Getting into Top 50 without using HD or FL is really satisfying but it's hard to find a map like that. That would only mean the map is either not well known or it really seems to be as hard as it is.
i used to have older top50 scores but because back when i started nomod fc was usually already enough to get top50 those got moved out quickly when time passed.
4 years ago when I was even more a newbie, came #3 on Shuffle OP https://osu.ppy.sh/b/57531&m=0 I was in a contest with a friend of mine who tried too to get the best rank on this. I just came back recently and saw this is a #25 now ahah. Could totally not do that again tho, took me 500+ tries.
#23, i still keep this range for a while... and it was first attempt for this map. Imma happy, someday i will need to fix score.
