Yeah well I don't really get that impressed with acc plays, like Ascension to Heaven 99% on HR is sick but it's not something that shocks me or anything.Tanzklaue wrote:
rrtyui is nearly as good as niko; WW is still superimpressive; many asians (remilia-scarlet, keigoclear, karuta, rucker, wobeinimacao, 5231_kinoko, torein13rd to name a few) are crazy good; people like thelewa lead the non-asian crowd who is not niko or WW but still can compete with the very best in the game.Wishy wrote:
Pretty much any sick replay from Cookiezi or Niko, rest are not that impressive.
especially rrtyui and the other asians did some stuff that is easily on the level of cookiezi. if you want I can collect some replays.
And yeah there are many "random" pro asians (AIDIA) who have many impressive replays. It's just me anyways I don't like watching replays I know the guy had to play the map for hours, days, weeks or even months to get it. Best example is Big Black, 2000 plays to FC, not interested on that, I'm sure there are many players who can FC that after retrying 2000 times, cause yeah, as long as you can do every part of the map regularly (meaning you just get random misses but don't just completely fail on something) you can FC if you retry long enough.
Which is the same thing I think about acc plays, even if thelewa and Keigo got the best acc overall, you can see how they still get beaten on some maps by any other good player who happened to have a good play out of nowhere or just retried long enough, thing you can't do on stuff Niko or Cookiezi do since they get it after a few plays w/o really retrying. Then rrtyui is a beast but I think he is many steps below Cookiezi or Niko (and I even think Niko is a few steps below Cookiezi too, overall). Just talking from what I saw by watching him, he is just a very good player with unlimited patience who will retry a map a thousand times (he's done it) if he really wants a top 1. One example I can think about right now is Ende, Cookiezi got HR FC first play while rrtyui had to drill.
Not that all of above should matter since replays = best play and the rest is irrelevant, but it's just me. :/
