ahhh helo anyone im newbie can help me

:^)

i feel like this being made too big of deal...even if Osu! made some mistakes...

COMA!

I was going to find a good map base from the rankings but the moment I saw Ignite as #1... nevermind... I'll just go to multiplayer and just hope that hots will give me good maps to download

There should be a Best of 2014 - Community

and Best of 2014 - Staff Vote

Then the top 10 in the staff that aren't in the community can be also made into a chart

airman airman airman airman airman airman airman ignite

wowsoTILT wowsoTILT wowsoTILT wowsoTILT

I can't believe this, most of these maps aren't even the best. There were so many better maps than these.

Really?! IGNITE?!?! please nno

Calamity Fortune overdose > insane technique rain > other 2014 ctb map

not win nothing cry:'(

fake and gay

Nice maps at all!

should only let qat and bn vote maps

Natsu MirinH

and there will be similar top lol, since everyone has their own opinion about what is quality and what is fun to play

Calamity Fortune #10!!?? Cmon osu....wat da..

Looking back at this, I'm pretty surprised, yet unsurprised that rave up tonight is #6. Extra looks like someone just puked sliders and circles on the grid.

...

grats Rumia- :D

1 ignite :(

I almost threw up when I looked at these rankings. Why the heck is Monster #2 for mania, that is the WORST ranked mania map. And then of course you have your TV Size maps (most specifically Ignite....why). At least a few of the mania maps on there I can agree that they should make top 10, but ugh...this shouldn't be a popularity contest. There's so many maps that we are all disappointed that they didn't make the top ten.

SAO wins.... what the news.....

I'm getting really sad by the childish behaviour of this community. Is this really the kind of community I want to get back to? Is that the community that I used to love and to which I want to appeal for to get part of it again? I'm highly questioning it.
Yes, the votes are weird, I for example do not understand how gangsta or my love got into the top 10, but its the communities choice. Think about it, osu! got way more popular in 2014, alot of new players joined, most of them casually playing, yet again you think that those players are playing insanes/extras with that little amount of playtime? How could they vote for maps they don't even know? Why would you think 'casual' players would play non-anime songs more often in a rhythm game that has 80%+ anime songs?

Just think about it, even compare the vote amount of last year to this year, Guy got 4-5 times the amount of votes than RLC got last year.
Then again, its a contest for the best map of 2014, players are free to vote for whatever they want, its their opinion, not yours. Did Lena from Germany win the eurovision song contest because of her 'song' and 'voice' ? I highly doubt that, her english is beyond horrible and her voice is rather annoying than beautiful, she won because of ... other reasons that I dont want to name here now.
So yes, the voting's are maybe not about quality but instead for popularity, but is that a bad thing? I think not.
Leave it as it is, you can't change the results either way and thanks to Loctav for the effort of doing this, but please talk to the other staff about each mod votings, since that IS important.

Anyways, have a good day guys, Kiyame (- pyra -)

PS: My votings were anhedonia, happy end of the world and move that body ext. and short version. It's my votings and I'm glad that the mappers did those maps so that I can play them, but there's no way I would literally hatespeech others for their effort just because other's have different opinions than me. Goodbye guys and grow up.

what m8
why is monstr #2?
i think aiae should be #1

At least My Love is in the top 10. Now I'm happy.

fat pear FrozenAim

ew

no supporter? D:

i was hoping that sentimental skyscraper was at the top 10...... then...... i realized that people have shitty taste and vote sao maps..... (no offence)

Just came to a realization that players can only vote maps they played lol.
Considering how many people do not have the ability to play Hard maps like anhedonia, does that justify the vote?

(Actually no.)
But I think those maps with excellent aesthetics will have to come up with more difficulty spreads to attract more players to like those maps... (We don't want another Tear Rain or My Love on the chart, do we?)

lol

In truth, Popularity, not Quality, is the true ace in this art.

people taking things too serious.

Oh, looks like I was at the very least in choice...

none of my choice is top 10, so sad...

any song in SAO/SAO 2 are considered good apparently.

The fact that the top voted map is Ignite by Guy makes me lose the rest of the faith I had in osu community, which wasn't high anyway. But seriously, I am very dissapointed in all of the people who even voted on Ignite ._.

ok. just wtf is wrong with this thing ._.

gratz to the winners anyway.

holy crap who the fuck voted this crap

Gratz LFJ ♥ higher than BD !!!! Good :D

#1 Ignite

Wow, just firetrucking wow
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIH

Reminds me of Best of 2013.

I forgot , my best place is #242 but I did a GD on Mission ASCII , who is #52 atm :O

gratz to winners

aside from the hate, it would be cool to give a catagory to best unranked map of the year.

Thanks to the 101 people who voted for my map! Here's hoping for more than one rank in 2015.

I'm surprised that my harlem shake got so many votes :)

1st with 3093 votes - Aoi Eir - IGNITE (TV size ver.) by Guy!
