RESULTS: r/osugame osu! Standard Survey v4

Section IX: Miscellaneous Questions

Some of you really hated these this year lol. I'm fine with those of you who think this section was cringe, bloated, unfunny, whatever, but to those of you who acknowledged it was optional and then complained about the length anyway... da heck?

I understand that every question from here on out is optional (including this one).

Wow this wasn't even close. Yes but red won with ~60.30% of the votes. Only about 70 of you were just done at this point, and power to you for that decision.

I'm going to skip over basically all of the open responses; you can take a look at those yourself. To the other person who said they were me, no you are not.

Do you have any online friends that play osu!?

Hooray, ~78.30% of you said yes! That's awesome! :D

Do you have any in-person friends that play osu!?

Oh no, the yes number went down. :(

At least it's still more than half of you at ~62.10%! :D

Do you generally play to pass or play to FC?

Most of you just play, but it looks like FCs are growing in appeal edging out pass intrigue by ~11.90% (compared to ~8.90% last year).

Which choke generally hurts more?

Slider break? Disagree.

Have you FC'd the tutorial?

How have ~19.50% not FC'd the tutorial? That's like 1/5 players. Insane.

Did you make/mix your main osu! skin?

Whoa, most of you mixed your skins I guess. To the other ~5.70% of people who made their own, let's go us!

One comes back and plays seriously for a year. Who would you rather see?

More people this year knew who both of these players are; probably because of hvick literally coming back for a quick minute maybe?

Will the highest pp play by the year 2500 be set on Earth?

Wow, ~56.00% of you said no. I don't know if I agree, but it gets the cogs turning.

Which of these is MOST LIKELY to happen first?

I'll believe 25,000pp when I see it.

Which of these is LEAST LIKELY to happen first?

12* ranked map FC does seem kinda crazy, I'll give you that. Amazingly, ~19.60% of you think that the U.S. placing off the pedestal in OWC is the least likely.

Have you ever bought osu! Supporter?

Lots of yes votes, very cool. Supporting the game? Kinda sick. MOD LEADERBOARDS? Even more sick. EXTRA PENDING SLOTS?! I never finish maps lol who am I kidding.

Do you usually find 727 jokes funny?

really now

If somebody random asked you how good you are at osu! with no other context, which of these is closest to your response?

Makes sense to me. To you ~7.20% you aren't trash. Have some faith!

Be honest: how good do you think you are relative to your pp/rank?

Apparently 68.94% of you think you are as good or better (50.94%) than your peers. A mean of 4.42 and a mode of 5? Alright then, I like the confidence at least.

Players who joined a longer time ago seem to be less confident in their skill relative to their ppeers, maybe because they play less but have still maintained rank based on past performances?

Confidence seems to increase with rank a decent amount, especially in that 11,000-11,999pp range lol. Sure, I can get behind that.

Will osu!lazer have more daily users than Stable/Cutting Edge before the end of 2024?

If it does, I just hope it delivers.

Will there EVER be a legitimate 2,000pp play?

Yeah, totally!

Will there EVER be a legitimate 5,000pp play?

Mmmm... maybe not...

If you had to give osu! one of these age ratings, which one would you give it?

13+ I agree. Online interactions and some of the... visuals... are a little bit risqué.

Circle or slider?

Down with sliders! I guess lol.

Favourite drink?

WATER SUPREMACY

Which input device do you think you could get a higher rank on in a year?

I think y'all are sleeping on the Wii Remote. That thing kinda nasty for aim, but the shake is real.

Could Batman get the 1,000 highest pp osu! plays in the game (starting with zero experience) before his account turns one month old?

I guess it does depend on the version we're using, but composite Batman takes this without breaking a sweat if he's motivated to actually do so.

Which do you think would win OKC (osu! Kingdom Cup)?

This was one of my favourite questions from this year lol. I said the eukaryotic protists, but you guys had belief in the fun guy.

If an AI trained on the 10,000 highest pp plays ever submitted were developed and given life in the body of an animal, which of the following would be most capable of achieving the highest rank in one year?

Cat and... crab? Alrighty then. I guess they do got the tappy tappy with the legs.

Who would be the most likely to be a pp farmer?

Yeah, I can't say I really disagree. But Samus Aran is getting really underrated here. She's literally a bounty hunter. And her stats are insane. She collects bounties on every map and raises the skill ceiling of the game to unseen heights.

Who would be the most likely to be a pp mapper?

Yeah, I see it. I can't believe ~10.00% voted Alex from Target. I literally just put it there because I liked the idea of half of you not even knowing who that is lol. Oh well, whatever.

Would you eat a muffin that made it so you could function normally without sleep (you can still sleep normally for the good feelies if you want to though) if there were also a 5% chance to go blind and deaf (also the muffin is pretty big and REALLY gross)?

weenies

What would be the most disappointing first thing to hear from a child?

Kinda true though.

Which of these osu! Supporter benefits would make you most want to buy it?

Whoa, people REALLY like the idea of replay scrubbing. And peppy.

osu! but you can play it in your car and the gas pedal make the cursor go up on the Y axis and the brake pedal makes it go down on the Y axis and the steering wheel moves it across the X axis and the windshield is your screen and you click by honking the horn.

I just thought this was a funny idea when I was talking with a friend one time on a long drive lol. I bet this is one of the ones people thought was cringe, but I thought it was a silly thought.

Which osu! crossover would be the most hype?

hmm

Which of these things would be the most hype?

You are seriously underrating SENTIENT EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE being discovered and MAKING TRACKS FOR osu! That's all.

How enjoyable was this survey?

So 78.67% of you thought it was neutral or better (70.29%), with a mean score of 5.28 and a mode of 7.

Newer players seemed to like it the most, which makes sense to me since the Miscellaneous Questions seemed to be the biggest influencer on this rating, and since I catered them more to the subreddit's sense of humour than before, it makes sense to me.

Higher ranked players seemed less entertained as well, with the 11,000-11,999pp crowd REALLY unimpressed LOL.


Well, that's it. This took me about 40h over the course of three days but now it's done. I definitely did not proofread this btw.

I hope it was worth the wait!
