BlackY - Depravity CLiMAXXX by Valedict
Captain's Description (by Shoegazer):
If there were an adjective that can fully describe how I feel about Depravity CLiMAXXX, it would describe a mixture of an extended adrenaline jab, a young charter's essence, and a visceral feeling of satisfaction from playing it.
Valedict today is among one of osu!mania's best and most underappreciated charters. However, as a charter who was just starting out, he made Depravity CLiMAXXX -- a chart that stands out for its rawness and vigour. Similar to many j-core chordjack-heavy charts, Depravity CLiMAXXX has that visceral edge when you approach its patterning, almost a gratifying feeling.
What deviates Depravity's chart structure from other charts like Kumo no Kireme, however, is that despite the chart's gritty approach, it has a very distinct chart structure. The track is fairly progressive, and the chart follows suit well. The chart transitions from chordjacks and fast 1/3 jumpjacks, to dense jumpstream and chordjacking, to even denser jumpstream, before jumping back into chordjacking once again. Along with its varied chart structure, each section is constructed notably well; perhaps it might not be the most technically sound at points, but the sections capture the ethos of the track all the same.
The chart might not be the most technically sound, nor the most rhythmically dynamic compared to most super-technical charts today, but the chart possesses something that I feel is lacking in most charts today: that allure that lulls players in to get the absolute best score they can.
