Well, in my opinion, it was fun to play in 2009-2011, because everyone had an equal chance to get #1 on maps, top players were tough at that time,but with some practice everything was possible :) Here is an example : https://osu.ppy.sh/p/beatmap?b=47686&m=2
I was the second man who made FC with no mods here, the first one was kenji, and we all would NEVER ever think, at that time, that someone will make not just Hidden, but Hidden+HR !!!
Now it's very hard to take #1's, because players became too strong, and ExGon has some kind of monopoly here, in my opinion, which I salute, I'd do the same if I could, and actually, for example, because of me and Louis long time ago many beginners quit this game, because we were taking all their places :) It was fun, it was exciting, and it became a motivation for many players to increase their in-game abilities and improve their skills :D Now I feel myself just like these guys, who gave up, because nothing is eternal and it's a normal thing, cause each era has it's own heroes - There was a talented HD+DT player mikhe (who spoiled himself and became a FL cheater, screw him), there was kenji, there was Darksoul, misa, LirsRosso (another cheater) and many many other players..then came joynama, then Shana, then Velperk - each of these guys had his own time but most of them quit now..I am proud to call myself a good old player and I hope that this monopoly will fall one day, and I hope, that there won't be any cheaters anymore :)

Yep, it is relatively easy to get #1s in the old days.

I remember I got like ~400 #1s back in 2010 and 2011, then I went afk for 8 months around 2013, and boom I lost like 300 #1s.
However it is not really important to play for #1s or pp but for fun.

yes, that`s true fact. so, i just play to enjoy in this game. when i like song is ranked only , then go to #1 in that map. (i saw one of the Legends ctb player ! )
Zak
I wouldn't say it's too hard to get a #1 these days, it's just hard to keep one because if you get a rank 1 with HD or HD+DT, you're always going to be worried if someone will take it with HR, which usually will happen eventually. Thankfully I use SS and score farming to motivate myself to keep playing, while still practicing hard maps here and there, I still get tons of enjoyment out of playing and I don't plan on quitting any time in the near future.

Also happened to do this last night..
And then Deif still kicked my ass lmao

'11-'13 player as well. More '11-'12 than '11-'13 actually.

Things were really fun back then - now they aren't anymore.

Spec/NoteKuroi + Crystal's (CLSW's) maps here. x) Also, so is keeping country #1, but nobody really plays here anyway, so I don't have to worry about that.

Not sure if sarcastic or not. The last time I had to worry about anything was about 7-8 months ago, just before Sylphia decided to stop playing CtB and got hooked on Standard.

Anyway, there is only one guy who might get (or even might be) ahead of me, but he is currently banned/in jail or something. Has been there for nearly two years now, so I really don't know. :D

And right now, I feel like even if I were to disappear for like 8-9 months (got mandatory basic military training coming up soon, can't really be active), nobody would still be playing near my level (still talking about Estonians). Sounds very conceited, but is actually a very sad reality. x(

True, true. Would be nice if some CTB god(s) suddenly appeared in Estonia. x)

Fun fact: CtB is the most played mode in the entire game

I'm not even joking, we just have the smallest vocal community.
CLSW
ExGon and some other star players make good entertaining records for CtB, and it makes CtB pretty famous imo.
As Zak said, just community is too small.

okay time to map more entertaining maps
CelegaS
I have a problem with stream jump, for exemple in a 1/8 stream i will try to dash on 1/4 fruits and hdash are on 1/8 fruits. I'm doing that on fast stream like in "everything will freeze" by clsw because i dont see when i should dash so i hear the sond and i dash to the next 2 fruits group too early. Idk how i can fix this. I will be able to upload a screenshot monday.
