Top 10: The Rarest RRstats Achievements

The crown jewels of roulette

Join Frote7’s Speedrun Community to start collecting your own achievements, starting in Roulette Rivals 17 later this month!

Only second to hitmaps.com, CurryMaker’s rrstats.currymaker.net is one of roulette’s most influential websites ever. Its ability to list and visualize various statistics and leaderboards has elevated the competition at least as much as any resource or learning material.

This substack celebrates the reveal of version 3.4, which introduces the Achievements feature. These new additions aim to make the competition more engaging across all levels, from chasing the rarest trophies to simply adding as many as possible to the cabinet.

Today, we’re counting down the ten rarest achievements currently featured on RRStats, based on data from the very first day of the feature’s release. Before diving into the list, head over to rrstats.currymaker.net and check out the new Achievements section at the bottom of each player page. Huge thanks to ChrisX3, Scruffy, Obs, and especially CurryMaker for making this project possible!

All achievements (completed and missing) can be found at the bottom of each player page, under the new Achievements tab.

#10 - Champion

Win a Roulette Rivals tournament (12 players)

What might seem like the end-all, be-all of rare achievements, the ultimate goal of Roulette Rivals, is actually only the eighth rarest, tied with two others. Throughout the game’s history, just twelve champions have been crowned, most of them during its early days.

Three players won the inaugural Roulette Rivals in their respective brackets: Ibbe on PlayStation, Ducker on Xbox, and Frote7 on PC. The latter two successfully defended their titles, while David Strong claimed the next PS tournament. Yannini became the first winner of the unified Console bracket, before falling to In4Fun in the first World Championship final.

Six champions emerged in the game’s first year, but only six were crowned in the four years since. DaniButa won RRWC 2021, the only player to win a tournament as a rookie outside of RR1. That shakeup in the pecking order continued into early 2022, with three new winners: Blithe (RR7 PC), Pigiero (RR8 PC), and Phanium (RR8 Console).

Under the dominance of DaniButa and Phanium, more than a year passed without a new winner, until Scruffy claimed RR12, only to lose RRWC 2023 to TheTimeCube. The American remains RR’s most recent new champion, and with the clock approaching 18 months by the end of RR17, a maiden title has never felt more elusive.

#9 - Apex Predator

Defeat the reigning RR World Champion in a match (12 players)

On one hand, this achievement seems simple: beat one of the strongest players on the right day. On the other hand, circumstances have made this feat nearly impossible recently. As a result, only one player has managed to claim it since RR11, more than two years ago.

In4Fun, the first world champion, had a busy 2021 season without winning any titles, losing seven matches throughout the year. That is just one fewer than DaniButa’s losses as world champion, spanning RR7 to his retirement after RR10. That’s when this achievement became truly rare, as DaniButa was the first champion to retire while still holding the title. TheTimeCube then skipped most of 2024, losing only to quatilyti in the RRWC24 knockouts. Since then, Scruffy has remained unbeaten, but his streak has to end somewhere: could someone finally claim this achievement in RR17?

Across Roulette history, twelve players have recorded a total of 17 wins over reigning world champions. Yannini and Frote7 lead the pack with three each (the only players to defeat both Hungarians), followed by ChrisX3 with two.

#8 - Timekeeper

Hold 3 map records concurrently (12 players)

Of the three achievements held by 12 players, this is arguably the most challenging one currently. While early tournaments had fewer maps, there was more room for improvement, with records often being broken by a minute or more. Today, players not only need an extremely lucky spin, but also flawless execution to set a single record, let alone hold three at the same time.

Frote7 was the first player to hold three, four, and even five map records concurrently, all before the end of RR3. The rest of 2020 saw only brief successes: Yannini held three maps for two days during RR3, but would go on to find much longer streaks later, while pokeredface managed a peak of three maps for just 18 hours.

Roulette Rivals 4 and its five new maps allowed Meme Junkie and In4Fun to capitalize on the shakeup, while RRWC 2021, the first truly competitive tournament, saw impressive runs from Ducker, ChrisX3, and eventual champion DaniButa. Since then, only four players have achieved this feat in the last 3.5 years: multi-time champions Phanium and Scruffy, along with two of the community’s fastest players, Jokerj and Nezuko Chan.

#7 - The Encore

Reach the Grand Final two tournaments in a row (10 players)

Twenty-seven players have reached a Roulette Rivals Grand Final, with 15 making multiple appearances. Most multi-finalists have experienced back-to-back finals, though five have not: RRWC 2023 champion TheTimeCube, two-time finalists MrMike, Speedster, and Dein Nomos, as well as In4Fun, whose five Grand Finals were all non-consecutive.

Of the six RR1 finalists, four returned for the RR2 final, and two of them (Frote7 and Ducker) became back-to-back champions immediately. After discovering the community through the RR1 final, Yannini quickly improved to third place in RR2, followed by a double-final in RR3 and a World Championship final to cap off 2020.

2021, the year Hitman 3 was released, saw relative stability in both brackets. Yannini won consecutive titles on PC, while Ducker dominated the Console bracket until RR7, where he claimed his sixth and final title to date. The breakthrough came on Console first, with Phanium winning RR8 and RR9, en route to four consecutive (regular) RR titles.

The RRWC 2022 final saw DaniButa claim victory over The_Buff_Guy, with both having also reached the RR9 final in different brackets. By 2023, with the competition merged into a single bracket, fewer opportunities remained for new players to break through with consecutive finals. In the eight tournaments since RR10, only five players made it to multiple finals, and only Scruffy (6 finals) and Music Inc (2 finals) reached consecutive ones.

#6 - Scratched Record

Beat your own map record (9 players)

It takes both luck and skill to claim any map record, but beating one’s own is significantly harder. Of the 62 players who have ever set a map record, only nine have managed to surpass their own.

Frote7 was the first to achieve this feat, breaking his own Sapienza record in RR2, which then lasted for more than a year. Two players joined the club in RR3, including pokeredface, who held the Whittleton Creek record three times during his brief career, and Yannini, an early adopter of an efficient Sauna strategy in Hokkaido.

Ducker beat his Berlin and Mumbai records in the second half of 2021, while two new players joined the list during RRWC 2022: Jokerj, who established himself as the main Dartmoor player, and In4Fun, who broke the Bangkok record twice during the group stage.

Scruffy inevitably stormed into this category by beating his Dubai record in just his second tournament. He never looked back, racking up eight of the 22 total “self-improvements”, the most of any player, ahead of Yannini with four. Since Scruffy started his streak in RR11, only three others have managed to beat their own records, including Nezuko Chan in Berlin during RRWC 2023 and Moo in Mendoza during RR15.

#5 - No Weaknesses

Hold a winrate of at least 50% on all maps at the same time (8 players)

Unlike most achievements on this list, No Weaknesses becomes easier to get with experience and a larger sample size. In the earlier, more casual tournaments, few players aimed for flawless records: most had favorite maps and weaker ones, often with winrates well below 50%.

This mindset gradually shifted over the years, and by the time Ambrose Island was introduced as the 19th map, the once-mythical 50% mark was within reach. Following a strong showing at the 2022 World Championship, its two finalists became the first to cross the threshold.

The_Buff_Guy and DaniButa eventually dipped below the line again, so when Phanium hit the mark during RR11, he stood alone with a 50%+ winrate across the board. He was later joined by In4Fun in RRWC 2023 and k-kaneta in RR13: all three have maintained the feat ever since.

Despite showing dominance from his second tournament, it took Scruffy until RR15 to break into this category, but now he’s boasting a 56% winrate or better on every map. The most recent additions were the ever-consistent The Rieper 47 and Dein Nomos; while Rieper slipped back to 45% by the end of RR16, Dein still holds firm.

#4 - Challenger & Defender

Defend your title by winning two consecutive tournaments (6 players)

The next three achievements are simple in concept. Of the twelve Roulette Rivals champions, seven have won multiple titles, and all but In4Fun have won at least two of them back-to-back.

The first year of competition was defined by Frote7, who claimed the first three PC titles, and Ducker, who won both the RR1 and RR2 Xbox brackets. Ducker would go on to complete a three-peat by winning the Console bracket in RR4 through RR6. On PC, Yannini continued his rise with victories in RR4 and RR5, adding to his earlier RR3 Console title.

Phanium dominated the scene from late 2022 through mid-2023, winning RR8 and RR9 on Console, followed by cross-platform triumphs in RR10 and RR11. Though a ninth-place finish in RRWC 2022 interrupted a perfect streak, he remains one of just two players to earn back-to-back titles on two separate occasions.

Dani’s short but explosive career began with a rookie RRWC 2021 title and peaked with consecutive wins in RR9 and RRWC 2022, before retiring after RR10. The most recent player to join this elite group is Scruffy, who reached four finals between RR12 and RR14 before finally clinching consecutive wins in RRWC 2024 and RR16.

#3 - World Champion

Win a Roulette Rivals World Championship (4 players)

After three successful Roulette Rivals tournaments, the question emerged: could this community event evolve into something greater? A longer, cross-platform competition designed to crown the undisputed best roulette player? The answer came in the form of the annual Roulette Rivals World Championship, the most prestigious Hitman event to date.

This unique two-stage World Championship has been held five times, with four different players claiming the ultimate prize. At the heartbreaking end of the longest-ever broadcast, In4Fun took the inaugural title from Yannini with a score of 11-9. RRWC 2020, with just 33 participants, remains the smallest and shortest World Championship to date, while every subsequent edition has approached or reached the 64-player limit.

After five years, DaniButa stands as the greatest RRWC player so far, winning both tournaments he entered. In 2021, he became the only post-RR1 player to win a title as a rookie, beating k-kaneta 10–6. One year later, he defended his crown with a dominant 10–4 victory over The_Buff_Guy.

There was no defending champion competing in RRWC 2023, but a world championship specialist finally fulfilled his potential: TheTimeCube secured a narrow 10-8 win over Scruffy to claim roulette’s greatest title. A disappointed Scruffy would lose the RR13 title as well, but those setbacks ultimately shaped him into one of the best players of all time. He won three of the most recent tournaments, including RRWC 2024, with a dominant 14-6 victory over Music Inc.

With only one new world champion possible each year, who will join this elite club in 2025?

#2 - All-Rounder

Win a Roulette Rivals tournament and a Roulette Rivals World Championship (3 players)

This achievement finds its roots in a single match at the conclusion of Roulette Rivals 9 in 2022. After In4Fun claimed the 2020 World Championship and DaniButa won in 2021, questions arose as to whether either of them could become the first "Double Crown" winner: champion of both a regular Roulette Rivals tournament and an RRWC.

By RR9, In4Fun was a two-time (RR5, RR7) runner-up, while DaniButa finished 4th and 5th in his first two RR tournaments following his RRWC win. Dani defeated In4Fun 6-4 in an entertaining WB Final, but their memorable rematch came quickly in the Grand Final. DaniButa would take a 6-2 and look to be ahead in a Paris photo finish, however, by a narrow margin, the map ended in a tie. In4Fun stayed in the fight, equalizing at 7-7, before DaniButa secured the deciding Mendoza to win RR9.

In4Fun’s consolation would come a year and a half later, when he found himself in the RR13 final and narrowly defeated Scruffy 10-8 there. Ironically, the loser of this match is our third and final member of the All-Rounder club, and Scruffy is the only one with an opposite path: winning RR12 and RR14 first, then becoming a world champion at RRWC 2024.

Honorable mentions

Today’s list highlights automated Platinum achievements, which aren’t the final step of multi-level feats. On this first day of the new RRStats feature, the ten manual achievements may be empty, but once submissions are evaluated, all of them are expected to be added to 20 or more players.

Platinum achievements typically appear at the last step of a multi-level progression and are intentionally designed so that only a select few players (but more than zero) will achieve them. With this in mind, Open Season V (Play 20 spins on every map in a season) is currently the rarest achievement, only claimed by Yannini this year. However, for reasons of simplicity and entertainment, these arbitrary thresholds are not included in today’s Top 10 list.

Examples of multi-step achievements: going from simple Bronzes to prestigious Platinums.

Lastly, two Gold achievements also appear at the bottom of the rarity list:

• I Love That Map: Pick every map in the trilogy (5 players)

• I Hate That Map: Ban every map in the trilogy (4 players)

The RRStats team anticipates that players will engage more with these achievements, which will allow them to take their rightful place among the other Golds over time.

#1 - Untouchable

Obtain all possible points in an RRWC group stage (2 players)

Building a winning streak is challenging, as misfortune or inconsistency can affect even the best players. But what’s even harder is creating a streak of perfect map wins, where no missteps or subpar performances are allowed. Only twelve players have ever achieved a winning streak of 11 maps or more, and only three have extended their streaks to 20 maps or more. It’s one thing to gain momentum in the early rounds of a tournament, but doing so on the biggest stage of all, completing a perfect group stage at the Roulette Rivals World Championship, is one of roulette’s ultimate side quests.

In the early days, players didn’t specifically aim for a perfect group stage, with In4Fun coming closest at 31 out of 36 points scored back in 2020. In 2021, Ducker nearly became the first player to go perfect; he wasn’t defeated by any player, but ran into two timeout ties, earning 40 out of a possible 42 points.

RRWC 2022 brought one close call, with k-kaneta scoring 34/36 points, but it also saw the first perfect group stage. In4Fun’s Group G included second-seeded CodenameKenny and eventual runner-up Sparkles, both of whom have fought closely with BluntsNBeatz throughout the group. But In4Fun swiftly claimed first place, winning all 21 maps of his group stage. He did so with an average of 7:09 per spin, with the longest of his 21 wins achieved in just 12:02.

The quest for perfection ramped up in 2023, with several players coming close, including Frote7 on 40/42 and Scruffy on 27/30. This time, Phanium clinched the perfect campaign, winning all 18 of his maps in a seven-player group that included Kum Boychuk and OhShitMan. The final match of Phanium’s group stage against Boychuk included a 15:39 Berlin win and a 21:28 Sapienza win, but it was still enough to secure a perfect score.

TheTimeCube was closest to perfection last year, scoring 38 of 42 points. While a perfect group stage doesn’t guarantee a strong knockout stage performance (as seen with In4Fun finishing 17th and Phanium 3rd), going Untouchable is still coveted by many: it remains to be seen if this rare achievement will ever be claimed again.
