As it is now, the text starts about 1/4 before the first beat.
Maybe a way to start the text as soon as the song start if there is a short gap between start of the song -> first beat (if the map starts immediately, the text should start on the lead-in) would be fine, but that means re-coding the way the text is showing.

That should be better than removing it imo, the average lead-in time is 1-1.5s, it's enough to show the title thing, I find in that a nice feature, rage on me /o/

I just don't see the point in having the title at the start. I already saw the name of the song while downloading it, or at the song select screen.

That's how merging threads works! It acts like all the posts from both threads were posted in one thread, and since the posts in your thread were posted later then they appear later in this thread.

I'm kinda sad because this is a major issue that's causing annoyance for anybody I know all the time now and at this rate it probably won't get addressed.

it's really hard to concentrate on the map when this text is in the middle of the screen covering the notes, which can last for like over 30 notes when playing DT and with AR10.3 it's really a pain to try to play like this

Oh yes please, this is incredibly annoying when playing with high ARs and you want 100%. The idea ^ by JMC would work well, too.

But it only serves to make plays that are supposed to be hard, harder as intended!! And sure it has nothing really to do with the actual rhythm of the music, but who cares!!! People should just learn to play better!!!! This game is all about small frustrating things that are completely pointless to the actual gameplay!!!! We wouldn't want to change any of those!!! Think of the poor old scores!!!!!! Unfair!!!!!!!!!

Game mechanics should not revolve around "fairness". Osu is still a game that is WIP, and development should not be stopped due to deprecated features that have been in use for a while.

I hate the title text too! They look great when you are spectating, but when you're the player it's another story...

That was like the dumbest post of 2013.
Now that this is an actual request: I support this as well.

Supporting.

It would be ideal if the title got showed during some mid break (those maps that show the song title like at half the song since you get a break there) but since that won't get changed on every map just making it so you can not-see it would be the best.

I wouldn't use this feature anyways.

Supporting this! Make us the option to turn it off or making it smaller. Display it during the break is nice too....

Supporting this. The scrolling song title serves no purpose as already mentioned, and only proves to be preventing the player from reading the intro of almost every song properly.

Splash screen would be cool!

I thought I already posted in this thread, pomf

I somehow hate it when playing with HD so I'll support this one...
But if ppy doesn't like to remove it, I guess I prefer to have a watermarked text instead of a solid one.

Hm true, it does get in the way...
But I would still want the title to show up, so I would be great if it just shows during a break

I'd love to see you write that again after you'd trying to play AR10.3 HD on >200bpm

Do we really need so such a high profile text floating around amongst the beat circles? It's really getting on my nerves lately...

Sometimes I don't even notice that there's a white text in screen, you really should focus on hitting circles than looking at some random text that is easily ignorable.

I only find that the text could be annoying with whitish combo colors with any mod combination implying HD.

Edit: neither supporting or not, just giving my opinion based on the comments. I don't care if the text is gone or not.

osu! draws it below circles, good enough

Edit: how about this:
if a song has around 5 starting seconds before the first note, show it. otherwise, wait for the first break before showing it. if the map has no starting delay nor any breaks, don't show it. also, allow the mapper to remove it.

A splash screen would be nice, like the BMS opening. Although, the text covers the notes and it's a pain for me. I agree for the removal, or atleast, make a splash screen.

osu! draws this behind circles, so this isn't really an issue. It seems to only be a problem if you have transparent circles, and there's an easy way to fix that. We can remove the title text in specific maps, but that would only be when the title/artist are storyboarded in. Go mod every map and tell people to add in a storyboard so you can disable it. I'm sure mappers would love to do that just for you.

Or you can just allow users to disable the title text if they don't like it, so that everybody can enjoy maps in a way that's fun for them and while requiring no extra effort from anybody!

!!!!!!

But no, obviously, why take the win-win approach which is both incredibly easy to implement and pleases everybody, lets just walk with our face into a wall.

I suggest adding a toggle to hide the title.
