Once again, vote for up to 4 maps after reading a brief description of each set chosen and written by Halogen- & -Kamikaze-:
Wagakki Band - Tengaku by Evening
- Evening makes yet another return to the loved category with the very popular Tengaku. Evening's unique, but fair structure for this map made it a very popular piece of content for those in the 4-key community. With the exception of long notes and SVs, it features just about every pattern in numerous arrangements and rhythms with a generally unrelenting pace, making it an ideal map for large group of players.
xi - PEACE BREAKER by Fullerene-
- Despite having two difficulties, this map's set is quite difficult as a whole. Many players likely remember seeing this as the finals tiebreaker of 4-key osu!mania world cup in 2015, and rightfully so: the intimidating presentation of the song is coupled with a map that is nothing short of chaotic and downright brutal in terms of stamina. A very high HP drain on the highest difficulty of the set makes it somewhat of an accomplishment simply to pass.
Yooh - Electronic Sound Lab by XeoStyle
- Electronic sound Lab is quite possibly one of my favorite charts to come out of the 4-key side of osu!mania. The highest difficulty features gratuitous usage of SVs, but they are used quite fairly and in a way that is very intuitive and easy to learn. It is also the easiest map out of the 4-key selections, making it approachable to those who might not be quite as adept in performing higher level content.
It's been featured in numerous tournaments, and has generally been accepted even by those who don't quite consider to have those kinds of maps in their wheelhouse.
Creaky Jackals - PLVCK by Flexo123
- Every once in a while, you come across a map that is a bit out of the ordinary; I like to think that this is one of them. The "drop" of this song has substantial amounts of 1/8 bursting in some of the strangest arrangements seen. I first came across this map as a warmup for a tournament almost two years ago, and throughout my time in the community, I've seen it pop up again and again. Much to my surprise, it's also got respectable community support as well in terms of favorites.
Paraoka Feat. Iku Akume - Chaosmaid by Ripazhakgggdkp
- This is probably the most iconic chart within the community (at least the western one) of the very early days of osu!mania. A 7K MWC 2014 Finals chart, a true jewel of the past with a unique style, a mix of LNs, SVs, minijacks and long super fast bursts which make for a very interesting challenge even today. This is a map everyone should try at least once to get the taste of it. Vote for this if you're a lover of classic, old charts!
xi - Blue Zenith by Jinjin
- This is a very well known chart that's been waiting for it's opportunity for a while. Having over 125 favourites, this is one of the most poopular high level maps in the game. The Stratosphere difficulty was also a tiebreaker for 2016 7K MWC. Now that it has an even bigger variety of difficulties to play - along with a near impossible JINDIMENSIONS it's a great challenge for a wide variety of players, especially those fond of o2jam style patterning and mixes between noodles and rice!
EBIMAYO - GOODTEK by LeiN-
- GOODTEK is a mixed set of a 4K difficulty by LeiN- which fun JS chart with some heavy 1/2 patterning in places that's fun to play and pretty well ballanced, more of a control tester chart, while 7K chart by bbu2 is also a fun chordstream chart built on a pretty similar structure with pretty original ideas for stream patterning like making core of a stream section a reverse stair. Both of these difficulties are simple, yet challenging, expressing the song really well and making for a very satisfying experience.
xi - World Fragments by Evening
- Yet another xi chart, and what a chart that is! A Very charming piece of beatmapping, nearly 11 minutes of an amazing, challenging, fun pianocore marathon which is entertaining for the entirety of it. Littered with not overly aggressive SVs, neat LN patterning, heavy chords, bursts, short jacks and standard issue chordstreams. It's a tightly wrapped package of fun that keeps slowly unwrapping for the entire 11 minutes. A good vote for all the marathon lovers out there!
Collection - Piano Beatmap Set by CircusGalop
- This mapset is the osu!mania's biggest milestone ever since 10K was officially made playable. It features a wide variety of piano classics, fully keysounded, with iconic pieces like La Campanella, William Tell, or even the infamous Circus Gallop (which also coincidentally is the mapper's nickname). In addition to the uniqueness of 10K, being the highest keymode a human can play without dynamic (more than 1 key per finger) keybinds, it also has a lot (114!) of difficulties which feature full spreads for 10K and difficulties for 4K, 5K and 7K, all ranging from basic 0,71* to near impossible 23,24*! This set is a must have for every mania player!
siromaru - Absurd Gaff by -Kamikaze-
- Absurd Gaff is a set for people who are honestly bored with 4K and 7K. It's a set featuring 22 difficulties making up full spread for four keymodes - 5K, 6K, 8K and 9K, with a wide variety of difficulty and styles appeasing a wide variety of tastes. It's a set accessible for everyone wanting to get into said keymodes and also for people looking for a challenge in them. A great choice for people looking for something diffrent!
