Yooooooo thanks for watching, my dude. Hope you enjoyed it.
BACON BOY ILY
glad ur alive lol
Hope you’re doing well brother! Take care and come back soon
bacon boi is our boi
r/osugame be like: player is cheating
proof: they are good
yeeah, pretty much
osu probably has some of the most braindead people on this planet in its community
except it was r/osureport
osugame has some dumb people(or dumb mods atleast)
Osu!reddit is stupid
I just miss seeing in his chat of him first saying "ok i go to bed!" and everyone being so wholesome saying goodnight and everything.
holy shit I missed that moment
I remember saying goodbye cuz I have to walk my dog and the whole chat discussing about dogs and also saying hi to my doggo
czcams.com/video/AKfWxnnQG_s/video.html 4:14
I never saw this but it makes me smile
@@feliceclefie8450 hi doggo
@@feliceclefie8450 that is really wholesome
Imagine if in his school someone talks with him and asks him if he knew osu!. That would be so weird to say yeah I used to be #1
Not weird, just reality
vaxei the type of person to pretend he doesn't tho
Imagine he will say , 'no ,Idk what game is it😅'
Vaxei: ... no never heard of it
That’s the dream
It's really sad that two of the greatest players on osu, whitecat and vaxei, were both wrongfully accused of cheating at one point. I'm glad that they were both able to clear the suspicion.
almost every rank 1 player has been accused of cheating lol
@@joker1b only one i havent seen in recent times was freddie lol
i find that you almost have to be accused of hacking to be a top player
@@joker1b Yeah but both were accused of cheating even after providing live play evidence after their bans. Kinda feels like witch hunting to me.
@@marker52 Whitecat literally faked so many liveplays after getting banned lmao
imagine breaking a curse on a map and bragging to your friends about it when the maps song title is "rainbow dash likes girls"
BRUH.
hey bro i just got the first fc on a map
what map?
r-rainbow dash likes girls
so true bestie
“hes getting way too good, lets ban him”
Sounds like something from a drama webtoon
It seems that osu community hasn't improved a bit, they are always so offended if there is anyone better than them and start attacking even a kid
To be fair, that was 6 years ago
well osu is:
(1) a free game
(2) has pretty much every song imaginable, not just electric song whatever. this means that more people can find their songs they like, which means that
(3) is super open to children, because of how easy and well-known it comparatively is, and because it has so many songs that children would like (unlike other games, which may have more anime/rock/etc genres children aren't interested in)
so it makes sense that it would have more children.
but if you look in the right places you can still find cool people, just like any other community.
i mean if anything it has definitely gotten worse. 99% of the people are trolls nowdays lol
sad that for surely most games now *deff fortnite* and COD no doubt
all should focus on fun to the true sense of community to being all for a few sets of sum games to drop the fucking ego.
Thats every game with a competitive scene unfortunately. On R6 a guy named Shaiiko got banned after a tournament where the, at the time, best player in the world called him out after the match. Of course it after some time was proven to be wrong. Imagine, being so good that pros/ best players in the WORLD call you a cheater. Feelsgoodman.
Just wanted to add to 19:10, he fc'd remote control right after cookiezi's score on that same map, like 2 hours after. The hype was big, as cookiezi's score was the second ever 800pp score, which beat freedom dive, which makes vaxei the second ever player to get a 800pp score.
no wonder alot of people dislikes his play on circle people channel lmaoo, thank you for telling this
Cookiezi's score was the pp record
freedom dive 799.79 lol
@@emi6388 osu rounds pp off to the nearest ones place so its 800pp
ahhhh the youtube recommended has blessed me again

So is like 3 pp a good amount?
He got 900 pp!!1!!
Idek what it means ;-; pls explain
Dead Inside basically it’s an unfunny joke that annoying ass pewdiepie fans and annoying ass redditors say Along with 69, 420, something involving Keanu reeves, and hating mainstream stuff. Please never go anywhere near those things. And if you already do that I’m sorry my condolences

@@Motorjam is there a list for AR? Or does it scale the same way?

It's haunting how scary bacon boy is in tournaments. You can see several players literally giving up and not giving a shit when they're getting obliterated 6-0 by bacon boy. He also defeated both Ritzeh and idke, the first teammates of him, in the later tournaments.
the fact that he played for 4 hours a day reminds me that a prodogy is only that if they first put in the effort
I have played 6 hours almost every day for 2 years now. I am proof that even if you put in the time genetics is a huge thing, even bigger than effort tbh. Theres people who have played a month who are better than me.
@@egglion7931 well it also depends on what maps you play. if you just play the same difficulty maps (or you don't challenge yourself) then you obviously won't progress as fast as others.
@@egglion7931 I somehow doubt that last statement
4 hours is honestly nothing
@@egglion7931 it also depends on what mindset and goaling system/focus the people are in. I want to show that the right kind of effort is what it takes to be a top player. Preferably, with mediocre peripherals like in FGSky's case
Thanks for calling vaxei's playstyle aggressive. Ive always gotten a feel of just sheer brute force from his plays that ive never felt from any ither player. I cant explain why but uts just there.
Sometimes he's aggressive, sometimes he's relaxed, sometimes you can tell he's absolutely just swagging on whatever he's playing.
I also think his playstyle is aggressive lol, I think it has to do with his speed + singletapping + aim snap + few other stuff
iN VaLiiD The reason you get that feeling is he has the fastest raw speed of any player ever, only a few come close
Slime no, vaxei’s quite outpaced in raw speed by a few players like merami and gayz. Vaxei is just much more well-rounded than pretty much all of the competition
ive never played or watched osu in my life but recently i got into a few videos and a couple of them were with vaxei. yeah. i really see what you mean. it's got this sheer aura of power to it
When people are jealous, they just accuse you of something than improving themselves because it's easier for them, what a sad life they got.
i just randomly watched this video again after over a year of not watching this. now i remember why i love osu
legendary stuff, keep up the good work
Oh god it's Willy-
The cookiezi simp jk
I started playing osu during the “summer of vaxei” and I remember not knowing much about the game at first but still being impressed by vaxei and the shit he was doing. Absolute legend that will be remembered for ages.
Summer 2019?
Raiz yea
yes
Me playing Osu in solo: Im so good at this game
*See Vexei's plays*
Me: Alright, I'm a peasant
whitecat also comes to mind, being the literal personification of the phrase "suffering from success"
I hope he comes back this summer like he did in 2019. I really miss Vaxei :(
🙏
Only person to rival whitecat
@@lolislayer4944 he will win, Whitecat isn't the best
whitecat do be killing it tho, hope he comes back.
Why did he not comeback during the quarantine tho atf
The moment for me when it was truly apparent that not only was he the best at the time but had been garnering on uncharted territory entirely was a not even fc play on a unranked flower dance map.
Cookiezi who everone knows has a fanbase in this game and was considered the best player for a solid 8 years and legacy wise is considered the all time goat. His absolute peak playing wise ( unranked stuff included )was summer 2017 and it wasn't untill that flower dance play ( which cookiezi not even passing but hitting a insane section of is still considered his peak ) that i realized vaxie had truely surpassed everyone else in this game.
iN VaLiiD speed wise yeah
White cat is up there as well
@@Ellie_2810 whitecat was still banned at the time.
@@Wuteveri have a question that i want to ask but don't know who so I'm going to ask you, is whitecat above vaxei considering whitecats last plays?
@@DjokiTheKing It's hard to say, but I'd put Vaxei above Whitecat for the simple reason that Vaxei can do virtually all of Whitecat's best plays but Whitecat cannot do all of Vaxei's best plays.
It's annonying Godblesshdhr gets the honor of being in this video.
Not with good rep tho
I mean people will remember him as “that one 🤡 , absolute joke, foolish jester redditor”
I don’t know why this got recommended to me, or why I just watched a hour long documentary about a top player in a game I had never heard of prior to this, but damn that was a good video. Well done both vaxei and you.
The fact I watched the entire hour goes to show how well this video was made man
Nice work!
PS I didn't expect to even watch the whole of it I just woke up
I didn't even notice it was a whole hour until i saw your comment lmao
@@Chemical_X13 Same lol, wtf.
In the very wise words of Patrick Star: I love you.
They lowkey banned him cuz they were jealous of his improvement lmfao
No

Wasn’t he banned for multi accounting?
There was definitely a lot of people who were salty that he got to/past their level so much faster than they did lmao.
Who knew a few strips of bacon would have a huge effect on Osu
Man this video will be 3 years old soon. Feels like i watched it like last week

Ezallium because we’re both active in the rythm game community xD
"This guy is hacking!"
"Whats your proof"
"He's like good and stuff"
The editing, research, time, and effort put into this video + the commentary. Bro the amount of effort you put into this is insane
Damn Etienne with more amazing content.
I have to say, man, your videos have been hugely inspiring for me. Previously I was a super casual GH/CH player, but after watching all (and I mean all) of your player analyses and other various rhythm game history lessons, I've taken up playing Etterna. All I can say is it's an incredible game that I'd highly recommend any fan of rhythm gaming try. Please continue making these videos as long as it brings you joy to do so, as I'm sure it will bring many of us joy to watch them.
This video career biography has so much work put into this. It’s composed and edited so well, it’s absolutely interesting and intriguing the whole way through. Amazing work my guy.
Every challenger agains vaxei "why do I here boss music?"
Hear
This video gave me goosebumps. this is a rlly hard tb to the beautiful exciting days of summer 2019. I used to watch Vaxei play and I would just be amazed every time. God I miss those times. Thank u for making this video and thank u Vaxei for being the most amazing player ever!
39:03
This song, especially in DT, and Twitch chat combined just makes it so fucking hype to watch, insane
I love how GodBlessHDHR said ’if you can beat happystick in a 1v1’ as if he hadn’t already done that in a tournament
The random video that got Vaxei into osu:
I raised that boy
can we appreciate his Cars t-shirt in his liveplay video, my man got some disney taste
i love your videos and i honestly can’t wait to watch this whole video
just finished, this is so well done and it was really entertaining to watch. thanks for yet another great video, etienne! :D
joshua rupert franklin conner has enjoyed the osu video by etterna man 225
Amazing job as always, Etienne, this is the longest video you've ever made and uploaded
Everything about learning vaxei's progression through the game was something fresh for me as an retired player on standard, you made everything went on point and it's amazing how he had gone this far. (And you too for having spend many hours, days, or even weeks to do this vid, amazing dedication and passion)
I can't wait for your next video
Ruruchi :(
My hypothesis is any youtuber that is related to pigs are gods in their games (technoblade, vaxei)
Lol true
This is such a good video, I loved watching it in Beasttroll's stream, the video was so good that it felt like the time flew by. Keep up the good work!!
That was a fantastic video man! I was so suprised to see an almost hour long upload and I wasn't sure I would watch the whole thing but it went by so fast!
16:11 that lighting tho and the glasses
The fact Etienne is becoming the Gaming Historian but for Music Games. I love it.
Wait, are you telling me that Vaxei downloaded the game in August and in November he had cleared a 5.9 star map???? and a very hard 5.9 I have to say. That's so crazy
Great video man. I've been a fan of Vaxei ever since he started breaking into the limelight in mid-2016. Having such a huge drive for improvement at something while being that young is pretty admirable.
My dream is to become as good as Vaxei or better! He is such an inspiration I literally stan Vaxei
"The summer of Vaxei" was when I first started playing osu!. Definitely a very interesting and inspiring time to be a new player during.
Exactly. I started playing at that time too. Hoping he comes back soon so that I could re witness the time.
Same! I started around december of 2014 i believe
whole video is a masterpiece, thank you so much for this in-depth view, had me glued to the screen the entire 50+ minutes.
This video was so in depth and well done with SO much research wow gg
It's pretty amazing to be so insanely good at something you get called a cheater and mercilessly ganged up on... only to handle it like a beast with grace, turn up the dial to 11, and silently destroy all doubt around you.
That is how you become a fucking legend. I don't even play this game.
Add winning 1st in Moist Cr1tikal Osu competition to the list
The final match of gameosu tourney was insane. Both players, Vaxei and Bubbleman, played out of their minds.
Btw, make one about Bubbleman or FGsky too, please!

Okay, when I clicked on the video and saw its lenght I thought there's no way I'm watching all of this. But what happened was that I got hooked and noticed for how long I've been watching at around the 35th minutes. Really well made and thought video, that retains the viewer's attention pretty well. Watched the whole almost 52 minutes long video without skipping forward once. I can only say that you've made a fantastic video, keep it up! Before this video I had never once heard about Vaxei, but now I can easily say that I think he is a real legend.
As a brazilian, i have to say. You nailed the "pensamento tipico de esquerda caviar"
Me: doesn’t know anything about osu
My brain: It’s midnight, time to start learning!
hi
welcome to ous
Always finding myself watching this specific video over and over again. Vaxei is such an incredible player
Did I just watch an in-depth 51 minute video on a player of a game I don't even play? I sure did! And this video was honestly so good. (Also, loving the Dorian Electra instrumentals you've got doing on!)
I imagine vaxei was just like "Top player time" and here we are
The fact that he had rafis’s skins on in recent years is such a power move
Back in 2016 I was in a lobby of 6 digit players when suddenly Vaxei came on. He was already regarded as a top player back then but he wasn't exactly regarded as one of the greatest; they just know he's right up there in the 2 digits bracket. He's really kind, interacting with the most of us and just playing for fun even though we were only playing 4 star maps.
should'ved asked for a mutual feelsbadman
from start to finish, song selection, and overall format of this video essay; just got to say it was a fun 51 minutes and 48 seconds. ty my g for the video
41:40 I wonder if he fulfilled his promise
I’ve watched this video at least 5 times. What a masterpiece.
same, i genuinely can't stop watching.
700pp after 2 years of playing its crazy, especially in 2016, holy shit, i needed 2 years for 300pp in 2022, imagine if Vaxei was 10 and start osu in 2020, dude would sets 2k pp right now lmao
This is the type of video that gives me motivation to go off in this game
bruh how many times is it gonna take for r/osugame to realize that just because some1 has been playing for a shorter amount of time as them, and is also better, doesnt mean they are cheating. jesus
bro i watched like like 7 times now at this point, vaxei is just too good man
I started playing just before the summer of vaxei, giving me a little time to find him before his incredible summer. Maps such as cycle hit, it’s raining men and big black will always hold a place in my osu! memories due to that summer. Great vid!
This is probably the most polished and detailed osu video ever made, amazing job. I hope to see more of it in the future.
Dude registered within the same week as me, I feel defeat
What I learned: you're bad until people start accusing you of cheating
im actually glad this video is getting attraction, all the effort u have put into ur vids is going to pay off, i can feel it
i haven't played this game but i sure have heard of it. its nice seeing this type of video with out knowing anything about the topic.
idke: im the number one, im the best
*vaxei arrives number 1*
Vaxei: are you sure about that?
*WhiteCat gets unbanned*
WhiteCat: EXCUSE ME
you deserve more than 20 likes lol
I've got almost 5k pp, playing more or less frequently since 2014 and no way I would pass dt 7,5* map even now. No mod 7,5* ? I did, but ar10,3 ? No way. Vaxei did it after half a year of playing. After 3 minutes of this video I felt ,that I really suck in this game
ur pfp
This is such an amazing video dude
thank you for broadening the community's knowledge for both new and old player
It's 6 AM and I just watched the whole video. GREAT FREAKING JOB VAXEI. Going through all the hate and accusations you still managed to take the #1 spot. KEEP IT THE FREAK UP. BEAST!
idk if you still read these comments, but hit windows with DT are divided by 1.5 and that given OD is typically what is referred to when talking about a dt score.
OD 7 DT = OD 9
OD 8 DT = OD 9.75
OD 9 DT = OD 10.42
OD 10 DT = OD 11.08
I looooooove your rhythm game anomaly segment. Please figure out a way to do as many of these as possible lol!
This is my first 1 hour video I have fully watched and I don't regret it whatsoever
Reminds me of emp lemon without the overarching theme (something like "man's greatest enemy has always been distrust. Since the beginning of civilization...)
He passes mythologia's end at 1k pp, i still can't do that at 7200pp, gotta love my speed/stamina abilities
vaxei's growth rate is like when pp rework happends and all the 6 digits move up 40k ranks from a 100pp play
bruh i got +100k ranks from a 12pp play
This is one of he best CZcams videos I’ve ever watched
I would just like to say thank you for introducing me to vaxei and osu. I’ve been playing a little less than a year now because this video got recommended to me. Thanks!
hi
"welcome to os"
14:53 - 15:16 Mano que isso? Por essa eu não esperava! KKKK
Subbed after the geometry dash video, ive gotta say the quality of your videos is fantastic and i learned alot about vaxei from this. Great work man, keep it up :)
Watching these are so nostalgic to me, it really makes me realize how emotional i get to things
