Obscure map that gave you a fun challenge

I've been playing the most random maps from every era to scorefarm, and sometimes i'll come across some really goofy 2011 map where im like "i think i can FC this with HR" and i'll spend like 25 attempts getting a good run, in that time, ive gotten very familiar with the map and it's a memorable experience, and it gets a fav from me

has some random ahh map given you a challenge like that? And just stayed as a memorable map just because of that grind? Im interested to hear!!!

This is my favourite recent-ish example, I grinded it for ages last year and then it actually got pooled for OWC! Such a cool map, and Malis has a freaky DT score on it:

Note: You may need to AR adjust it at first...

Found Soul Education when completing 2007 maps, pretty good map for the time.

The map was ar 9 with dthr which made playing quite comfortable as opposed to most of the maps with that cs (cant play ar10).
The combination of high cs and hp made it quite tough to pass. Took me like 30 tries to do it.

i remember grinding the shit out of dancing on the sidewalk lights flicker trying to be the first person to FC with all sliderends (although shit it has 200k plays so maybe it's not an obscure map anymore). i was the first person to get a 99% with 688/691x combo but then CutPaper showed me up with an HD SS lol. still a very memorable map because i love this kind of gimmicky sliderend catching gameplay

successfully grinded mizuumi [azelf] and am still the only SS. i'm real proud of that. absolutely cannot repro that score today though lmfao im washed

have a bunch of plays on cs7+ maps (verychill maps, [irre's extra], anime groove 3d world, musk sprout, etc) just trying to pass them with HR. those are memorable grinds because it's fundamentally a very silly thing to do. i think the only one i actually ended up passing is princess of the night. ooh i also grinded HR on hunger for a way out and got close to passing but i dont think i did? fun grind tho

grinded an SS on boots, ar5 memorization map, i think anyone can ss with some patience

unsuccessful grind on xxx multiply, never got a score im happy with, but what the fuuuck man only 22k plays more people gotta hear about this map

maps i havent passed but i love trying

love you syndrome

dot in the sky with DTAR7 or EZDT or something
