Vankusss is a Slovakian highscorer and speedrunner. He is known as van on irc.
Mapping
Vankusss joined and created his first map on Numa on 1st December 2008. Since then he has notched up a total of 4 maps, his second one coming over five months later in April 2009. He abandoned the simple challenge feel of his first two maps with his third map, exploded pillow. This third was very well received, garnering praise from several prominent community members, including Yahoozy and RadiumFalcon. His fourth and most recent map was a map for Leaff's animals trend.
Highscoring and Speedrunning
Although a member since December 2008, van was mostly inactive until February the next year when he discovered the #n-highscores channel on irc. This led to his emergence as one of NUMA's most regular highscorer/speedrunners, and his reputation as a good playtester.
Soon afterwards, he started highscoring and speedrunning metanet and nreality maps, with great success. He quickly attained a top 10 position in the speedrun 0th table, with over 20 0ths and has over 100 top 20s.
He took his first metanet highscore 0th on level 37-2 on 20th August 2009. Since then, he has taken over 30 more 0ths.
Vankusss is one of the few highscorers who spends equal time highscoring/speedrunning NUMA and metanet/nreality maps. He still frequents the #n-highscores channel on a regular basis.
