Global map leaderboard stats from December compared to now
Most of the gained #1s are outspins which imo is a bit lame, but in fairness there are a lot of very good spin players these days so getting those are definitely not easy. I gained a lot more than expected, so that's pretty cool in the end.

Highest total pp from maps in 2010, so adding up from every single map rather than a weighted top 100 akin to regular top plays. Top 2 in this stat between 2007-2010.

Top 5 in SS count for 2010, I know the top 2 don't really use DoubleTime, unsure about 3-4

Some fun stats after having cleared all of these maps:
#2 in Ranked Score for all of 2010 and combined 2007-2010, only behind the legend himself

2011 is thankfully a fair bit shorter in terms of map count compared to 2010, which happens to be the biggest year in the game all the way until 2018 (!).
I also rate 2011 higher than 2010 as there is a lot less boring filler, but this opinion may change after I've actually played all the maps.

The unfortunate side effect of this order of playing is that playing only relatively easy maps for a few months can get a little bit boring lol, so while I'm planning to work on 2011 in the coming month, it's very likely I'll try and go back to some harder maps before actually completing that year.

I set up for this grind last year by playing through all of the top difficulties (and some harder lower difficulties) of every 2010, 2011 and 2012 set.
This was basically in order to set up a low difficulty-rush with low amount of retrying, and I managed clear over 1000 maps per month this way.

An update to this after a little over two months, 2010 is now DONE (random stats + thoughts below) 🧵

Goal for 2025 will be returning to lower difficulties and work on clearing every map from 2010, likely 2011 and maybe 2012 as well. It feels crazy to still have so much motivation 10 years on, but I plan to go all out for the first half of 2025 so we will see where I end up.

Beatmap Packs (January 2024 - December 2024)
I decided to resume my Beatmap Pack grind of playing top difficulties of every set along with hard stuff in general, old to new. Started with maps from April 2010 and got all the way to March 2013, huge grinding and many good scores, very happy.

2009 Completion (Achieved in January 2024)
Clearing every lower difficulty is a project I started in March 2023, and I managed 2007 and 2008 quite easily in that year given how few maps there are. 2009 took a bit longer, but I'm happy with the end result of clearing all the maps with high scores.

The Minish Cap (GBA)
Any% in 1:27:50 ⭐⭐⭐
Another tourney revisit with some added timesaves found in 2024. Ended up getting 2nd place here as well along with a solid PB, but definitely with big enough mistakes that I think it can be improved in the future. Not super fond of the game but we'll see.

Echoes of Wisdom (NS)
Any% in 34:22 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Originally wasn't planning to run this until they discovered the Wrong Warp tech that made the run sub-hour. Any% is a pretty bad speedrun, but it was fun to see new strats getting found in real time. The PB I ended up settling with is solid for its strats.

Link's Awakening DX (GBC)
Any% No WW/OoB in 50:18 ⭐⭐⭐
Picked this game back up for the mini-tournament Glyph decided to host in September, in which I placed 2nd. Part of me still wants to go for a sub 50 time, but the game is just less fun compared to LA, so we'll see if it ever ends up happening.

Another ESA Summer game I picked up after getting coaching from a few friends on site. I met my initial goal of sub 20 a week after the event ended and put the game down for the time being. Might try 70 star in the future? (credit to bt for the right pic)

This is a run I myself had no idea I would pick up, but mostly did it as a bit of a joke after a friend of mine that runs 3D Mario games suggested I would pick SMB1 up since it'd be more up my alley. Met my goal of a sub 5 minute run within a few weeks.

Picked up this category solely as an incentive run for ESA. That event showing went less swimmingly, but the PB I got prior was very strong, beating a record that had stood for nearly 10 years (and a great run for its time at that).

I went back to Warpless after getting the game accepted into ESA Winter, managed to finally get sub 41 and had a decent enough showing at ESA despite minor setup issues. Great speedgame, will be back for the grind in the future as I want a lower 40.
