Long reply to the criticism about the top25 osu! players of all time~

My english isn't very good and I'm writing this alone, so sorry if something isn't understandable but I'll try my best ;;



Hiii, I'm the guy who organized this project and also one of the 5 guys that made up that list, and wanted to reply do the criticism trying to explain some stuffs that someone maybe didn't understand.



First of all, the list isn't about the "most skilled players of all time", it's more about "most relevant/influential players" or something like this, the "legacy" of a player was by far more important then this skill for making into this list, and I think this was well explained in the introduction of the video, so please don't argue about stuff "wtf mathi is much better then that guy.. SiLviA who is him lmao" if you didn't even watch the intro, thanks :<

If you go in the doc linked under the video, you will wind this table about criteria ( https://puu.sh/B6Lix/de69aa7851.png ) and as you can see, the effective Skill of a player is only a little part of the criteria we used, while their relevancy is a much bigger part. This is the reason of why some new players are so low/aren't in the list even if they are better then anyone else: because they don't have the same "legacy" as some other players.

Yeah, title could be a bit missleading maybe, you could be right, but we thought that explaining things in the intro would be enough, well, our bad, sorry.



Second point, this list is ALSO based on the community voted Top20 of every year, maybe it wasn't explained in the intro, sorry, but if you go on that doc I already mentioned, you will find a lot of data about it. Also if you go in the page "Random Data", you will find the player's legacies written in numbers, even if it isn't 100% accurate ofc, it was still useful.

And also, as I said the list is also based on those top20s, and keep in mind that the only selectable players were the one who were at least once in one of those top20s.



Third point, keep in mind that some things are still subjective. I've made that list, and even for me that I made it some placings could be swapped, because you know, different opinions are a thing. And also when you see one of your favorite players missing in this list, keep in mind that to add him you should remove someone, and ask to yourself "who could they remove from that list to add him?" instead of instantly commenting "oMg MY love shAGGON is missing wtf"



Okay, I think that's all. We've spended two months on making that video so the effort was there, only for making the list we did like 5 voicecalls in 2 weeks just to be sure it would be great, and it's a bit sad that a lot of people are missleading the whole thing, but I still saw a lot of people that got the point of this list and appreciated it, so I'm happy about it. This is taking so long so I'll stop here, I wanted to reply directly to things like "Why X player isn't in" but this is already too long lol. Thanks for reading this guys.

Oh, and one last thing, I'm really sorry for Gayzmcgee. He surely deserved a spot at least in the honorable mentions, sorry for this, our bad.
