I personally think Kata's
t_pazolite feat nanahira - Otsukimi PARTY HARD, deserves to be up there in place of Ponko2. I'm pretty sure it's the first map to use the window slider gimmick he showed off in Aspire. Also, her newest map,
DJ Noriken feat. Nanahira - Sweet Wishes is incredible, with gimmick I've never never thought about making and a shitload of painstaking .osu manipulation. Of course
LeaF - Aleph-0 deserves to be in here above the chosen map simply because it does exactly what kata serves to do in her maps... crash the game. Also, it has 4 DIFFICULTIES!!!! I'm sure there are a ton of random people to have made maps like Katacheh in the past an present, but I'm using these as examples of what could have been picked from her assortment of game-breaking maps in place of Ponko2.
Now for my opinion on the picks...
Both of yu's maps up there kinda just seem like a case of the "I don't wanna make a lower diff for this so let's just see if it can get loved." Shit, Ryui's map only has one favorite, while about half of the rest of the maps have no more than 10, and since favorites are kind of what shows that the community likes some maps more than others, I would assume basing a list like this off of a stat like that would make sense (not entirely, of course, but seriously, ONE favorite?!)
Lucent is a boring aspire map, Kumo no Kireme has a set going for rank, the owner of Intersect Thunderbolt is pretty much dead (Ryui is pretty much also dead).
The only maps that deserve to be up there, in my opinion, are the top 4 disregarding Kumo no Kireme, since they're the only ones that seem actually enjoyed by enough people to be loved.
As for the yu picks, I hate to say it, but it's probably due to the "captains," since I'm sure myself and many others like me would agree that Katacheh deserves two of her maps up there instead. Jesus, the work she puts into those is insane, you know?
I guess I'll follow this discussion, feel free to respond to my comments here. Are they stupid? Smart? Logical? Contrived? Discussion is good guys
