talking about osu!'s world cup grand finals tiebreakers 

@BTMC your move.

MANGO. I CHALLENGE YOU TO A STEAK OFF LETS SEE WHO HAS THE BEST MEAT

I now wish for a Bill Wurtz Grandfinals Tiebreaker song.

7:17 I didn't know about any of this!!! I was really happy to get to close the loop with HALL and give back to my 4k roots a little bit... (ed: though a little embarrassed about the feedback on disjoint sections when both songs very much fell in that category... oops!) bonus fact: of Ambrosia starts with an "O" because both ΩΩPARTS (kind of) and One One did, and I thought it'd be cute to keep up the pattern this is also why there's a lick in the jazz-type section, b/c both those songs threw one in at different points

Extra notes: - BREACH PROTOCOL by Kurorak is technically the first song release on World cups, Daikyi (the mapper) proposed us to use this song for MWC4k2019 and we accepted because it was a really nice touch to have something fully unreleased by the time. This was done way before the current osu!originals workflow and originally not intended to be used on osu as it was originally composed for one of the many ITG mod sightreading tournaments, check OISRT and NotITG to get an idea of this. - M1LLION PP (current name) already was called OOPARTS during song production, but after both rejections, this new song for OWC2020 took the name over. - Edit: oh yeah, one more thing, about OOPARTS while we asked only for the song, Camellia did reach a personal designer to create the background + jacket used on that track (and wouldnt be surprised if it was the same for Parallel Universe Shifter)

mangomizer cannot stop cooking

That video was not only extremely well edited but also offered an really important insight (and information) about organizing owc, featured artists, and more... I dont know how many people knew about how complex and big those years were for owc at this point, but me personally I had absolutely no clue.

There needs to be a full length osu documentary. This format is great.

The anonymous artist for the taiko tiebreaker really went by "Johnson Solid" 💀 if you don't understand "johnson" is another word for "pp" (not performance points) and solid is another word for hard, so his name is basically "peepee hard"

"se-u-ra is REALLY good at drawing girls"

Holy shit, thank you for having Frums in osu!catch. Of Ambrosia, both in a mapping sense, and a music sense, is a very big deal for me, and has definitely been the catalyst to look into that amazing artist. Much love

Great video, love the transparency in this one. And it's true. The people's goodwill is what makes this game and community special.

I am extremely surprised that Duplicity Shade was considered a bit of a fail. That song & map have become one of the peaks in mania 7k history, for more than one reason, everyone that plays mania knows about it. I guess it kinda is about the map and not just the song, but the 2 go together in the end. Not the same can be said about Kyuukou, which did eventually get a banger storyboard & background, which I think was made as a bilibili video, they contacted the creator and added it in the actual map. Fun fact: we are now at 2 SR reworks made specifically to nerf Duplicity Shade. It is still the most farm map in the game.

This is really fascinating. It's nice to get such a broad look into what goes on behind the scenes. Would totally love more of this

Maybe I'm just dumb emotional but towards then end when hearing all the songs and then vanitas, and hearing that very last "that's our thing", that made me drop a tear or two. I'm so happy about what this has become, I've been here half of my lifetime and this really is emotional for me to see osu! grow so much. Thanks for everyone making it possible

"Catch is NOT a rhythm game"

This content is so nostalgic. Back then pishifat making videos for osu!mapping in his YT channel & this video is really close to that content. What an interesting video!

It's crazy to think that in a parallel universe we could have gotten a Nekrogoblikon TB

this guy looks like pishi

Alright so for that Camellia's BPM incident, I just want to say that don't try to having a look at the music sheet, on top of the BPM changes, Camellia yeeets a bunch of notes and make the sheet dense af.

I always kinda hated like peppy said the weird structure of the first tiebreakers, it just felt like it had no soul to me. It's good to see peppy actually stepped up and made good changes because Vanitas was for sure a giant step forward in terms of quality and also replayability as an actual song outside of the game.

I’m big fan of Se-U-RA’s music but then I found her pixiv… I was shocked lmao, she good at drawing girls

Having been a personal recipient of the Mangomizer Steak Dinner Special™ multiple times (it's good) - it's great to see him finally get formal recognition for all his hard work! Go Mango!

MANGOMIZER IS MY GOAT!!! Im glad to have been apart of this commission process as a bg artist and so happy Mango finally getting some spotlight.

9:59 flashbang.

9:59 get out of my head

at 7:27 the clock is on 7:27

Frums × Bill Wurtz would be insane

As an osu tournament fanatic, this was absolutely interesting to watch. Would love to see more content like this, especially regarding general improvements and changes in production & QoL stuff since 2013-2015 up to now. osu!'s official tournaments are some of the most fun to watch, especially with the cohesive wikis, sheets and VODs. Also, official osu 1v1 tourney when

I love how this community never cease to amaze me! The amount of effort people in this community puts into make this game the best that it can be is crazy. You guys are awesome!! ❤

osu! original songs are bangers

I love tiebreaker songs because whenever I play them it makes me feel like some sort of epic hero in a world that operates on music

Btmc stake😭 Great editing on the video, btw, super impressive!

bookmark @ 9:05 no, my attention span is not this low it’s just that it’s so fucking late and my eyes are dying

This is my favourite video on the channel. It's really cool to see an insight of how the workings of commissioning an artist goes in terms of rhythm games. Also, the moment I saw how restrictive the initial requirements were for the songs I knew it wouldn't be good. When you restrict the flexibility of what artists create, they won't be able to compose something that flows well and has a sort of personality for lack of better words.

mango we won't forget about the Spare incident :] edit: seriously mango, you are doing a huge job

This is a very complete background for those who don't understand how original songs are made for OWC, we hope to see more originals soon!

Let this people cook forever. Thank you guys ♡

Damn this makes me want to become a featured artist

27:27 what?? wkwk xD

GTS MENTIONED

What's a tiebraker song? And why is it such a big deal? Also who are mappoolers? Please explain.

Its great that you guys are laying down a great foundation for this game. Osu really is timeless in my mind, akin to counter strike. The base game will never change not matter what happens, and its simply a testament to its quality. I hope you guys keep at it and make more decisions for the future, like making the game much more modular in Lazer, and more original songs that can give osu a legacy. Thanks for the hard work! I'd be a supporter if I could :p

Please try out a metal genre in the next tournament, imagine seeing imperial circus death decadence in a tiebreaker!!!

I know who he is! You're the GOAT mang.

This was a really interesting interview. It's fun hearing about some background on a few of my now favorite songs.

awesome video, mangomizer is very well-spoken and insightful when it comes to these things

I'd love to hear more about Frums process in making the catch tiebreaker. Is there anywhere I can learn more?

30:34 is just camellia being camellia lol

I don't really think Duplicity shade is as bad as Peppy is making it out to be. Sure these are not really your regular EDM songs, they have multiple genres in them, and the map being a GF tiebreaker really carried the hype but there has definitely been worse.

I love these videos, thanks for putting the time and effott into doing them

I hope you guys do more of these types of videos because this was amazing, even though it didn't have too much fancy editing it held lots of important information and magnomizer presented them nicely. Fantastic video.

really enjoyed the video. love the kinda videos where you're basically just talking with other people about stuff. really informative and interesting to take a peek behind the scenes

Insane. Super fascinating, insightful, I get damn goosebumps everytime a song pops up. Almost makes me feel like jumping onto the game again (still retired) Thank you so much mango and team for all the hard work on the originals, they top my tracklists a lot. Very happy to see osu! grow so much as a rhythm game and the players as a community

Great video, stays interesting the whole way

let mango cook more, please 😊😂

This video was sooo interesting to watch. Thank you for doing this video. Would love to see more stuff like this, that give more insight into tournament related organization since i think its one of the most interesting and thriving communities within the osu community

Magnomizer pls play valorant

WE LOVE MANGO!!!!

As the 10th comment, I can positively say I am 10th.

A Mo my beloved

This was an amazing deep dive into the history of osu! originals and the behind-the-scenes. Thank you so much for putting this video together and to everyone who helps make osu! originals a reality!

excellent work everyone involved, didn't even stop to think how much work goes into these

oh wow, this is very interesting

this was a very interesting video, thank you for explaining the process behind this pishi and mango

9:58 ?????

These edits are too good

Damn i didn't know that

THAT'S WHY MANGO IS THE GOAT! THE G O A T! Hopefully osu! will reach up into the rhythm game industry to the point we can finally know who Jonshon Solid is.

fuck it, im buying supporter please cook more loved rpg, vanitas, and thunderstrike 1988

Holy shit mangomizer my goat

LUDICIN WHEN

I was only here because o Mangomizer cooking (steak)

They mentioned an artist that stayed anonymous because they didn't want people knowing they were composing for osu!. Is there a stigma against osu! among the people who compose music for rhythm games that I don't know about?

Amazing stuff! Good job guys.

I wish for OWC2024 we have more custom jpop/jrock songs (NM1, HR1, DT1)

This was one of the most pleasant videos I've seen in a while. The vibe was great and you two did an amazing job at explaining things in enough detail so we can follow, but without just rambling on forever. I had watched OWC 2023 and some other WC games before, never really realizing how much effort has gone into the songs alone.

I loved duplicity shade imo. But thats just because I'm a harcore sennzai fan

This was a great listen. Very interesting hearing how the process has evolved over time. All the duration says about your cooking is that great food takes great patience.

this felt very real, thanks smoogi for keepin us in the know :) cant wait for the 10 minute lore video next week giving context to the btmc steak incident

Wow! Your desication to the community is insane and i want to say thank you for all those legendary experiences with every custom song and especially the tiebrakers. Thank you guys so much im glad you are part of our community rly you are awesome!

takes me back to trying chinese cured duck sausage in mango's hotel kitchen

this is a really cool video! it's so easy for "rhythm game boss songs" to end up as messes musically; even the arcade rhythm games have tons of issues with that, and their songs are half as long and usually only done by one person

Yoooo I had a feeling that million pp had something to do with osu but that is a backstory I didn’t expect

Thanks for the hard work guys, but... It looks like you are cooking something. Lazer PP when?

EEE

Amazing video. Really shining some lights on the hidden community work that makes osu special!

Hello there.! :D

Wow fantastic video, did not expect to watch till the end!

27:27 btmc mentioned

"pp on lazer is coming soon" - See you in June :)

this game and its community is really like no other

THE TRANSITION AT 18:39 ARE YOU KIDDING ME????

Can i buy that Jacket somewhere?

osu! Originals are part of not most of the music I listen to due to their sheer diversity and complexity, you guys are making absurdly good content.

the way 18:45 syncs up, that is the pinnacle of transition

nice to see a lot of stuff that happened in the background would love to see more stuff like this

as one of my all time favorite songs, that million pp history was so cool and unexpected

Awesome video, I love hearing abouf stuff like this that goes on. Well edited and good information

I swear this is the best game ever made thank you so much everyone involved ❤️
