sky-fi - sakura sweets (keii bootleg) by Agka
Captain's Description (by Kamikaze):
Agka is known to the vast majority of older players as a mapper who changed the tides of osu!mania charting as a whole; he was one of the pioneers of heavy SV changes and one of the most creative mappers of his day, and this map you’re seeing in the listing here shows all of that.
sakura sweets is a chart that was featured in semi-finals stage of the osu!mania 7K World Cup 2017, and it’s a chart we like to refer as an SV chart, however saying just that is underrepresenting what the chart actually is. Starting off pretty tame, you won't see what the map is all about until you reach the first chorus. It’s built around the stop gimmick, 0 BPM sections where the playfield stops entirely, something that was never utilized to this extent before. In the middle section we have another never-seen-before section of constant “flowing” scroll speed changes, from slow to fast and back to slow again.
It’s a pioneering chart that was one of the bigger influences on the gimmick charting scene we see today and that’s why we believe it deserves a spot in the Loved category!
