Hey Everyone!

I'm NinjaCocktail, a dude born in 1995. I'm a speedrunner (Youtube): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgmVe1MCzZzo0UhR1oO0_hA?view_as=subscriber
and an Osu! player as a Medal Hunter. I played every modes, my favorite in order: Ctb > Taiko > Mania > Standard.
My main goal was unlocking as many medals as I could with my old equipment and skills. Being a 3 digit player in Ctb was my ultimate goal with the Top 1000 medal as a proof. Indeed, this medal gets harder and harder to unlock as time runs out. Top 1000 players get better and better every day! Every other medals are unlockable any time with practice, skills and patience. Having all the medals of dedication and reaching 90% medals unlocked (207/230) ended my Osu! career.

I didn't have a sense of rhythm when I started playing this game with a poor equipment. As a consequence I sucked at Standard, Mania and Taiko. My accuracy was pretty bad and the freezes made everything worse. But I still liked those 3 modes. Catch the Beat has more reflex based mechanics and Half Time reduced drastically the freezes, so decided to go for the top 1000 in Ctb as a HT farmer.

My favorite mods in each mode are:
Std: Nightcore and Hard Rock
Ctb: Half Time, Hard Rock and Hidden
Mania: Nomod and Half Time
Taiko: Hard Rock, Perfect and Nightcore

Ctb was my main mode until I reached top 1000, I was a SS and Half Time farmer. Half Time really helped me improving reading and accuracy.

My Osu! pilgrimage is over. If I keep playing, it's for fixing my old scores S to SS or HT to NM (for fun), or to unlock new easy medals.

Thanks a lot Peppy for having created such a fun (but addictive) game. Such a great dedicated community you've made. Let's the best players break records and unlock the hardest Medals, I'm not skilled enough to continue what I started. Almost 2.5 years since I joined and I still don't understand how is it possible to be that good and talented as top players are. I dreamed about being able to play Hard Rock at high level, the most elegant and noble mod in this game for me, but I just can't
