The [Drop's Ultra benninger] difficulty is not being nominated for Loved.
Captain's description (by Doomsday):
Some mappers like to make elaborate patterns to complement a song. Some like to create stern challenges that test your skills.
Then there is MinG3012. He likes to make your client crash, lag, or break in spectacular ways.
This map isn't the first time he pushed the limits of the editor. His set of Brain Power with invisible spinners, and his Aspire 2016 entry predate this. However, Grenade was the one that made him infamous — the first true "Ming Map".
The entire map somehow takes place during a break, so the background stays lit, notifications cannot be hidden, and mouse buttons cannot be disabled at all. It features some of the earliest use of ghost sliders with glitched bodies, and some sliders go so far offscreen that they are not properly playable in a 4:3 resolution. The reworked star rating is completely busted, and trying to open AIMod in the editor results in a crash. Opening this map in the editor at all is a bad idea, actually.
The mapping itself isn't outrageous (apart from its huge circle size at CS 0), and it's quite unpolished at times, but the gimmicks showcased here have influenced some of the most popular Aspire-style maps that followed, including many of the Aspire 2017 entries.
Many of the most creative uses of the editor can trace their roots back to this, and for that reason, I think it deserves a spot in the Loved category. Check it out for yourself, but proceed with caution.
Please use this thread to discuss why you believe this map should or should not enter the Loved category!
