My top rank was #517 in late 2017, but unfortunately the proof of that is lost in time. The closest record I have is this screenshot from march 2017:
Edit 4oct2020: I found <this random screenshot> on an old phone which happens to document that I was #542 on 6th april 2017. Still not my peak rank, but close enough
I've gotten way past the point where osu!mania can even be considered a rythm game anymore. At this point it's only about how fast you can spam your keys, you don't even need to bother about accuracy really. Playing this way really is neither enjoyable nor an accurate representation of skill (and also not very healthy), so I decided to stop grinding pp until: 1) the SR formula gets reworked to finally end the vibro meta and 2) key specific rankings are established to separate 4k and 7kEdit: we got this now
I still love this game and will keep playing it every day as well as participate in every MWC4K as long as my rank decay allows me, but until the ranking system returns to sanity I can't even be bothered to get the last 11 pp to reach 8000. Edit(12mar2020): I eventually reached 8000 4k-only pp passively (no blue-zenith)
sleep? who needs sleep? just Feerum things stankill during the MWC 4k 2016 everyone loves SVs this guy has some cool lines So one day i was talking with a friend over discord and suddendly he said "i gotta go to the bathroom brb" and about a minute later he came back and told me with a weirdly excited voice "dude i just took a shit in like 40 seconds wtf"
