  19. Captain's Description (by Shoegazer):
  20. [url=https://osu.ppy.sh/u/2531335]Fullerene-[/url] is, in my opinion, the very best 4K charter in 2015. He didn't just produce great charts, but he managed to produce them at a pace that was nearly uncomparable: PEACE BREAKER, dreamless wanderer, Japanese Transformation are three big names that immediately come to mind, and even that's only a small fraction of his homeruns that year.
  21.  
  22. Memoria Reborn stands out among his charts released in 2015 because it was of a fairly low difficulty (relative to his other charts) and is very straightforward in structure. However, despite its superficially simple structure, the patterning present in the chart is nuanced, and the chart's concepts were executed masterfully. This has everything you would want from a jumpstream chart: strong use of repetition, deliberate and tasteful use of certain patterns, an ideal level of density, among many other factors. It surely helps that the chart has a very silky smooth feel to it too, since it complements the dreaminess and intimacy of this track very nicely.
  23.  
  24. I'm sure that Memoria Reborn will be welcomed into the Loved section with open arms by the community given its extant reception and the very positive reception towards similar charts such as Grief & Malice. Because of that clear community demand, it only makes sense for this to be a potential nominee for the Loved section this round.

  28. Captain's Description (by Kamikaze):
  29. A collaborative effort of [url=https://osu.ppy.sh/u/4164087]Ez2dj_7144[/url], [url=https://osu.ppy.sh/u/1935034]nowsmart[/url], [url=https://osu.ppy.sh/u/3935009][ Mee ][/url], [url=https://osu.ppy.sh/u/8425536][ Karen ][/url], [url=https://osu.ppy.sh/u/665612]ExPew[/url], one of the hottest sets of the late 2014/early 2015 hits the voting charts!
  30.  
  31. This set features three keymode spreads with 4K, 5K and 7K spreads which all reach extreme levels of difficulty, especially on 7K with it's Absolute difficulty.
  32.  
  33. It's one of the most favourited mania maps of that period as well, clocking at 82 favourites, which shows that the community wants this chart loved, so here we go!

  35. [b][url=https://osu.ppy.sh/s/551469]TAG underground - POSSESSION[/b] by [profile]masekara[/profile] & [profile]pporse[/profile]
  36. Captain's Description (by Pope Gadget & Kamikaze):
  37. A simply fun gimmick chart suitable for anyone who's up for a challenge - with a 4K difficulty by [url=https://osu.ppy.sh/u/2393914]masekara[/url] to accompany the DDR X2 fans, and a 7K difficulty by [url=https://osu.ppy.sh/u/4991434]pporse[/url] for those who may have first seen it charted on IIDX.
  38.  
  39. The notes themselves are simple enough to get used to on sightread, it's a fairly simple and fun chart pattern-wise, but the speed of the teleports at 0:41 and 1:23 might take some practice to master!
  40.  
  41. Even though this chart has overall difficulty value of 0 it is certainly not an easy chart to master, so step right up and tap to the beat!
  42.  
  43. [b][url=https://osu.ppy.sh/s/647515]Camellia - Feelin Sky (Camellia's "200step" Self-remix)[/b] by [profile]Chrubble[/profile]
  44. Captain's Description (by Shoegazer):
  45. Feelin' Sky is a chart that I believe encapsulates a recent shift in 4K charting meta today. Many charters, especially charters who are also great osu!mania players, have started to shift away from the use of patterns that were straight-forward and silky and focused more on patterns that are unconventional and rigid. This shift in charting meta has been received with mixed fanfare, but most fanfare seems to be notably positive about the change in charting trends. Given the general positive reception of this trend, it would be good to represent this trend in the Loved section in some way. Feelin' Sky is, in my opinion, one of the best charts to nominate to represent that change.
  46.  
  47. Feelin' Sky uses LNs (of almost all kinds), fast minijacks and rigidly patterned bursts; all of which are staples of modern hyper-technical charts today. However, what differentiates Feelin' Sky from many other technical charts like it, to me, is how natural these concepts are introduced into the chart. There might be some (arguably) excessive LN usage in some parts of the chart, but it felt as if the patterns that were in the chart were tailor-made for Feelin' Sky. The natural introduction of these concepts is something that I feel is lacking in these hyper-technical charts, and Feelin' Sky is close to a paragon of how charts of its kind should be created. The chart being a fairly novel experience for most players is also a massive plus.
  48.  
  49. In essence, while I feel that [url=https://osu.ppy.sh/u/2594280]Chrubble[/url]'s Feelin' Sky can be rough around the edges at points, it certainly shows a lot of heart. That display of heart is something that resonates with the charting zeitgeist today, and it is something that, I believe, makes this a solid nominee for the Loved section.

  52. [b][url=http://osu.ppy.sh/s/146623]t+pazolite feat. Rizna - Unlimited Spark! (remake)[/b] by [profile]Entozer[/profile]
  53. Captain's Description (by Kamikaze):
  54. Our sixth chart on the list is a legendary chart among the 7K community. From the legendary o2jam-bred charter [url=https://osu.ppy.sh/u/277044]Entozer[/url] arises one of the hardest challenges in osu!mania to this day. Representing the good old o2jam style of charting, full of tasty noodles and hard difficulty spikes with some SV changes mixed in as well, a true ET chart.
  55.  
  56. Both the song and the chart are remakes, the song by t+pazolite recieved more smooth mastering and the original o2jam chart got a new, way better chart quality wise. This map, running at 185 BPM features a wide variety of hardcore patterns, such as chordstreams, 5 note jacks, double 1/4 LN streams, 1/8 LN streams, aforementioned patterns mixed with longer LNs which anchor your finger down and combinations of all of these, making the over 10 star rating difficulty highly justified.
  57.  
  58. This chart has a lot of history and legacy, being one of the "end-game" goals of the best of the best osu!mania players and thus I believe that this chart's place is in the Loved category!
  59.  
  60. [b][url=https://osu.ppy.sh/s/224173]YST - The Lost Dedicated[/b] by [profile]Zyph[/profile]
  61. Captain's Description (by Shoegazer):
  62. The next chart on our list is one of the most recognisable charts in competitive circles in osu!mania: [url=https://osu.ppy.sh/u/1600432]Zyph[/url]'s the lost dedicated. As a very clear allusion to the "life" difficulty in BMS, this chart contains overwhelmingly dense chordjacks. However, the chart seems to convey the track quite well despite its level of density. Its density is substantial, yet meticulously controlled. It also captures certain sections of the track very nicely with completely different but very complementary patterning, which is always impressive when you're dealing with densities this high.
  63.  
  64. The chart's overwhelming popularity, current reception and level of nuance are all reasons that we believe that this chart should be in the Loved section.
  65.  
  66. [b][url=https://osu.ppy.sh/s/373357]Tia - The Glory Days[/b] by [profile]CloudHolic[/profile]
  67. Captain's Description (by Kamikaze):
  68. Up next we have The Glory Days, one of the most popular unranked charts in 2016, a full spread mapset by a well known Korean charter [url=https://osu.ppy.sh/u/3924047]CloudHolic[/url], known mostly for his mixed style and fun oriented patterning.
  69.  
  70. The Glory Days is a map that's very accessible, with difficulties for all kinds of players, from a fairly standard normal which you can train 7k on if you're new to it to very dense and tricky Glory difficulty that challenges you in multitude of ways.
  71.  
  72. The highest difficulty is a mix of very dense chordstreaming with small bursts in the choruses, that are also hardened by the usage of sporadic long LNs and calmer parts which are more LN oriented with some tricky to nail transitions making it an interesting map all around and a good choice for the loved category.
  73.  
  74. [b][url=https://osu.ppy.sh/s/299333]Yiruma - River Flows in You (LR Mix)[/b] by [profile]LordRaika[/profile]
  75. Captain's Description (by Kamikaze):
  76. This set is something special. Brought by our own Elite Mapper [url=https://osu.ppy.sh/u/3265023]LordRaika[/url], it is a mapset that really nicely conveys what kind of a charter Raika is.
  77.  
  78. Not only is this mapset keysounded, the song itself is the Raika's mix of it, it also has a wonderful storyboard by the elite storyboarder [url=https://osu.ppy.sh/u/2559349]Exile-[/url].
  79.  
  80. It doesn't end there! Because the mapset also offers an immense set of 30 difficulties throughout all 6 rankable keymodes, from 4k to 9k, offering a wide range of patterns and densities to train your favourite keymode or perhaps, learn a new one!
  81.  
  82. [b][url=https://osu.ppy.sh/s/352543]Nivrad00 - Piano Boss Rush[/b] by [profile]Nivrad00[/profile]
  83. Captain's Description (by Pope Gadget):
  84. Professional nerd Nivrad00 with another masterpiece which twists the boss rush theme made prominent in the rhythm game scene via Renard's MungYoDance series, as to accompany his own compositions.
  85.  
  86. 13 different bosses which each test your abilities to an ultimate, with attack after pummelling attack of dense patterning, rapid-fire streams and flexible fingerwork.
  87.  
  88. It is also Nivrad's 100th completed chart in his rhythm game charting career which is an amazing milestone!
  89.  
  90. So good luck with it, and as always, have fun!
