osu! Online duelling mode
So far osu!’s multiplayer has mostly been used by people who play for fun instead of people who play competitively. And unless a competitive player has enough skills to enter a tournament, they are pretty much stuck with single player and will usually avoid playing online.
This is where the duelling mode would come in. The duelling mode would allow completive players to play together by putting them in a 2 player lobby where they would take turns to choose maps and win points after each map (basically the same setup as the osu! world cup but with 2 players). The basic rules for this game mode would be:
Best of 3 maps (best of 5 and 7 could also be added)
the first person to connect would get first map pick
then the other player would get to pick a map
if tie breaker map is needed, the player with the highest total score from all the maps played would get to pick the map
if a player disconnects then they get 1 minute to re-join or the other player automatically wins
when someone wants to duel, they will be connected to the player with the closest pp the them
at the end of a duel both players will be asked if they want to duel with the same player or to leave the duel
A duelling ranking system will also be added, in so that competitive players will have something to compete for. This rank will be based on the amount of duels they have won and lost, but not on the scores they have achieved. For every duel the player wins they will gain 5dp (duelling points) and for every duel they lose they will lose 3dp. The duelling rank of the player will be based upon their total dp.
The idea for this is still very rough but I really think players who have always dreamed of playing in tournaments like the osu! world cup, but can't because they lack the skills, will enjoy this.
