Captain's description (by Paturages):
I met juankristal in real life several times in my lifetime, all of which revolved around instances of cavoeboy's osu! event. I will always remember that one train trip where he unfortunately missed his chance with a lovely German girl we met on the way. If that girl happens to read this description, I don't even think she would know what I'm talking about.
In any case, there's not really any need to introduce the legend that is juankristal. But in case you're new enough to the osu!mania community, juankristal has been one of the longest-standing figures of the osu! community, with many contributions to the tournament scene both as a player and as a mapper, including the really early days of MWC (think 2015). I say as a tournament contributor, if anyone were to ask to bring up one single name among the many long note pioneers that have existed within the history of osu!mania... Well, juankristal would be the one name that people would converge to.
No.39 is yet another entry to Juan's infamous timing hell series. What does "timing hell" even mean? Okay, so the textbook definition of a "timing hell" mostly revolves around fast coordination, also featuring a lot of staggered shields and minijacks that make it really difficult to last throughout all of the map. Timing hells are often really draining for stamina and focus, especially when high scores are paramount to a tournament victory, and No.39 was in fact concocted for the MWC 2022 Grand Finals. It is definitely not the easiest of the timing hell series, and it packs a punch even for seasoned players.
Now that we're done with the textbook definition, here's the actual backstory behind the "timing hell" nomenclature. Well, allegedly, as I'm kind of paraphrasing a story that I've been told second-hand. When juankristal was mapping his first timing hells, he had a bit of trouble on properly timing the map. If I recall correctly, even after a fair amount of help had been gathered to time this map, there were still timing issues that occurred during the mapping process, which in turn provoked the quite humorous label of "timing hell" on what otherwise was pretty much idiomatic mapping by juankristal, as he's always had (and still has) a very unique and recognizable style of LN mapping.
Ask us about more tournament fire camp stories in the thread after you drop your vote for this Loved entry. Or maybe ask us on whichever common Discord server suits you instead. We're pretty much deep within retirement centers at this point.
Please use this thread to discuss why you believe this map should or should not enter the Loved category!
