everybody gansta till your note shakes "no" at you

Don't worry, by the next eon, we'll have osu lazer amirite fellas

That's a mechanic??? I thought I was just dumb.

As a programmer myself I want to point out another reason on why peppy is not able to change notelock. I remember Peppy mentioned in some interview that the way he wrote code for osu stable was that he was only concerned about development speed but not about code quality and possibility of further changes, so over the years of development, this has brought osu stable to the point where making ANY changes to the game can result in unpredictable behavior, breaking everything and bugs all over the place. So sonsidering this, not only this change will break all existing scores but the development cost will be enormous. This is also the reason for why osu lazer exist and osu stable is put into sort of maintenance mode now, which means that changes are made only if absolutely necessary(e.g. game crashes, critical bugs) P.S. English is not my native language, sorry if I made mistakes

I didn't even know this mechanic existed, I just thought after one missed note in a stream I just fuck up consistently

Notelock is like a math problem: you miss the first step, you miss the whole.

I am fairly sure that it would be far more complicated than a regular pp rebalance. The only thing PP rebalances really do is rerun an algorithm on already determined scores. Changing notelock would not only require a pp recalculation for every map, but also overriding replays, miss counts, 50 counts, 100 counts, and 300 counts. Reworking notelock means changing the nature of already existing scores (if possible) would require magnitudes more processing power than an ordinary pp rework.

Actually true, RIP my 200pp play that turned into 80pp after 3 notelocks in the row...

“Get good” -ppy

When you fingerlock a note in a stream, you notelock the whole stream

BRO I THOUGHT I WAS JUST TERRIBLE I HAVE ALWAYS HEARD OF NOTELOCK BUT NEVER KNEW WHAT IT WAS

"when a feature in the game is hated, the game is hated" - the entire gaming community

I thought he was going to talk about sliderbreaking XD

0:09 abyssal's Kami no Kotoba run in a nutshell

i think something people are forgetting is that osu lazer WILL BE the main osu client, just completely revamped to be better in general, so yes he does want to change it, and he isnt too lazy, because he actively is changing it

Hey, loved the video. Recently started getting good enough at the game to get notelocked, so I understand the hate. That aside, I'll take this opportunity of being somewhat early to say how much I love your videos. They're so high quality and professional looking and should get more attention. The topics are also always really interesting. Keep up the good work!

SO THIS IS WHY I ALWAYS FAIL ON SOME SONGS EVEN IF IM HITTING IT PERFECTLY

Lol, nice quick video. I like the shorter more simple videos every once and a while. Keep up the great work, BruhmasterL!!

“not the best track record when it comes to research” made me laugh a little. also the production quality is getting real nice

Notelock is like the opposite of bug: It's not a feature, it's a bug

your videos are gettin waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better mate, keep up the good work

When you said you don't have the best track record for research that kinda made me sad, I think the videos you make require a lot of effort and making mistakes just comes with the craft. Here's to more awesome BruhmasterL content.

It's hated but needed

So this is what's keeping me as a hard stuck 7 digit

hey man I appreciate your videos! small note I've noticed in the past couple videos is that you seem to be peaking your mic at the beginning of sentences (notably the yomi yori where you went above 0 dB at the beginnings of a lot sentences). if you don't already, use normalization on audio and set it to around -3 dB (which is the recommended commentator dB level). besides that nice video as always :)

This has happened to me before but I didn't know what happened. Good explanation, really well thought out and easy to follow!

i like the new style of your videos

so many cool skins used in this video

so this is why i feel it's so easy to stream in lazer

Abyssal is the literal meaning of "if note lock was a person"

Even though it’s necessary, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted to punch a hole in my laptop cause of the notelock

love your videos! how do you publish so often! you are the summoning salt of osu. keep up the good work

The actual most hated mechanic is actually the "see you next time" when closing the game, because it means you cant quit

i've been enlightned. thank you

Could you do a history of a mapper like sotarks or monstrata? I’d like to hear you talk about their history, I think it would be really interesting. I’ve always wanted to know more about mappers

2:36 so, lets get into why Nl0Kc is actually th most hated system in osu

I had no idea this was a thing, I thought I was just being badd

Great thumbnail ! Baguette

I think the best way to take care of this is to make 2 kinds of pp; notelock on, and notelock off. Along with a separate leaderboard for it to make thing a bit less harder for the community

note lock saved my FC once.

Now i know why note's were shaking when i tap them at the beat

Every time I see a circle shake a little while aiming a dense pattern in an FC run my heartrate spikes

this is the equivalent of joycon drift

Biggest ppy call out I've ever seen dude, you're wild! Hahahahah

the fact that taiko mode has it applied exactly the same way as it is also makes it much more difficult to recover when you miss from slipped taps during streams :( not to mention the orange timing window that shouldn't exist particularly in taiko because it actually registers correct hits within those windows as MISSES

i think that peppy at least doing something to try to fix it is actually pretty cool

Notelock, a bigger adversary than slider breaks

Idk why but i love your voice lmao

There should be a "notelock" option in the settings that you can toggle on and off (all lb and pp stays the same) and it would say (recommended for new players) so that if you are new you can have notelock and have all its effects, and if you toggle it off, after a miss you wont have to wait for the entity to disappear after you get a X. its a way of getting rid of notelock but it's optional

one of the only reasons why my favorite map is my favorite map, the hardest point, jumps are timed with the bpm perfectly so that if i missed I would barely have time to click the next note so I wouldn't notelock

miss once, miss forever there is no escape

For real, notelock was one of the main reasons that makes me stop playing Osu!. I started getting mad almost every time when that happened, i just wasnt having fun on Osu anymore

If notelock didn't exist, I think the star pass medals would become worthless and higher star maps relatively just easily passable by mashing. Although I do dislike notelock, I think it would be best if the osu!lazer version of Notelock was the current version instead.

That explains why square jumps are so hard and why I don't recover from mixed notes.

Epic video

This happened to me when I played monster I suck so I can’t rly hit it wel but I skipped one note and couldn’t hit a single note after

so THIS is the reason why I felt like I clicked the circle but it still results in a miss. I thought my fingers weren't responding properly or something

Ive started palying Osu together with friends a few weeks ago and now I finally understand the situation where someone of us ( when were playing multiplayer ) is saying that their hits aren't registering..

After note lock - passive drain has to be the thing I hate most, in some hr maps you can literally not have enough circles to maintain even half hip in a slow section, he should just be tied to the amount of circles you do and don’t hit and in general hp does need a rework

I love doing full streams of notelocks or 100s

Happens in mania too. But they call it column locking or finger locking. It's quite prevalent in chord jack maps when you accidentally press a column when there's no notes.

Well this video answer my question to whether u can make multiple slider going on at once… since the mechanic allows a time window for that.

I agree

The problem is that it wouldn’t be like a pp change, because for most plays only the hit counts etc and not the mouse movement. You need the mouse movement to recalculate without note lock, so the information doesn’t exist for anything not on a leaderboard. There is no possibility of recalculating past plays with no note lock, but it could just be switched off and accepted. If there was a breaking change to the gameplay, I think it could be notelock being a function of AR and OD, going down with both. This makes it vanish much faster for hard maps but keeps it around for easier ones

i find notelock pretty useful since i have a lot of fcs that notelock saved from the miss

One day we will get a "legend of cookiezi"

YO the editing is so good, high quality OSU content pog.

I decided to play a map in the middle of watching this and notelocked on a stream, I'm so upset

remember us when you get big man

i literally thought there was something wrong with my playing but i couldnt figure out what it was

Just last week I failed cause of Notelock, so I tried to see if you had made a notelock video, i guess i was just a lil early lmaooo

I didn't know about this mechanic, always thought once I missed that one note that I became off rhythm

history of BruhmasterL

That is what we agree upon

well this explains some of the odd moments while playing

well the reason it cant be implemented like a pp change is because the servers only save the data on misses, acc, combo, and score, saving every single replay would be quite stupid and since notelock is based on gameplay and not combo/acc/misses it cant be detected unless it is in the top 50 scores on that map, which would just fuck everything up.

yes

now i know how this thing names it breaks my possible best score

definitely a bruh moment

You dont need to tell why its hated Because we already know the pain

why is it physically hurt to watch this video D:

Ya i just chocked a colorful play with a stream and a jump notelock

When i try highest diff on fool moon night with relax my PC got an earthquake

Once you miss, you're dead.

Good. I thought I was going insane sometimes

I see you've extended the video budget

The reason he can't change it is because all the scores that were affected in anyway from notelock would have to be rebalanced; doing something like that is almost impossible and it would affect almost all scores and pp. This is why notelock is being fixed in osu!lazer instead of stable because lazer is the future of osu

Note lock also makes learning how to stream much harder

So this is why I struggled jumps when I first started 6* jump training maps (I was rushing but I knew I was hitting and at times I know it shouldn't have missed i would fail it's odd)

That exists? No wonder why I do so bad on this single specific map that I can never get over 80% on cuz I always mess up the last part of it, while the last part makes up the majority of the map (only 30s long, you can probs guess it)

I'm not good enough at the game to encounter notelock so I had no idea this existed

I thought I was just trash, now I will blame the Notelock

Ah, I was kind of expecting a reason why the naive solution doesn't work. Couldn't you simply count clicking on a locked note as a pseudo-hit, where it counts as a miss, but does unlock the next note in the sequence?

Lets go i now have something to blame when i miss sht

So this was, what kills me at Freedom Dive

I failed a 90 acc freedom dive halftime pass attempt which I think is pretty impressive at 180k because of notelock

lol I had to rewatch the last bit because I was distracted by cookiezi's gameplay

Well i play on mcosu with no notelock, and i can say it's pretty dumb since i can miss some objects before they even appear on the screen. And if there's jumps repeating on the same place often, you just miss the note below the one you're hitting and it gets so confused.

I love note lock. It reminds me that Im trash every day.

4:57 lol, respect
