We all know that osu! is 1% skill and everything else are psychological factors, it has been scientifically proven before. So with that in mind, I have 2 different suggestions:

1) Permanently hide the leaderboard along with the interface after pressing shift+tab
2) PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CHANGE PERFECT AND SUDDEN DEATH

Here is why I came up with these ideas:

1) When there is a break you can clearly see the leaderboard showing your combo and score, that alone is enough to know where you're located into the map. I don't know about other people, but that has ruined some of my plays before because I start thinking if I will be able to complete the map successfully or not. I know I can just play with the local ranking, but even then you can see your older plays.

2) Okay, I might be doing the second suggestion because of a personal issue I have with the game, but I'm pretty sure other people that enjoy playing the game like me (SS players have been increasing from what I've seen) could benefit from this change. Please peppy and everyone else in the dev team... Change the PF and SD mods, it doesn't hurt anyone to change them in a way that you can still continue playing the map without having to instantly retry or fail the map, just like SD in multiplayer it would be very useful to continue playing the map even if you're not SS'ing the map (PF) or if you're not FC'ing it (SD). I would love to always use PF because of my playstyle, but it's so frustrating to not know how you missed the circle/slider and not being able to keep playing the map after missing a note :(

Use NF mod?

The point of SD and PF is for the game to stop as soon as loose combo or SS, respectively. If it were to continue playing, that's basically No Fail. If you want to know how you missed, there are tools for that (although it wouldn't hurt for osu! to have something like that built in).

Okay the second link has something similar to my idea but it's hard to find stuff this old (I tried searching with some keywords and didn't find it before posting)

For the second point yes I understand that they are meant to be like that but why can't they be changed? Most SS players like me don't even use PF because it's very frustrating, have you ever tried playing a map with it? It's just unfun, why can't it be better? Currently most people use it just to have the small mod flag in the score, not because it is useful. And no NF is not an option for me, the whole point of my suggestion is to avoid having the play submitted if I use PF or SD just like SD in multiplayer. If the play is not submitted at the end it wouldn't be like having NF.

I don't know how to quote like that but for your first point I don't understand what you're pointing out with those links? My suggestion is about the leaderboard and it's not even mentioned in those posts.
1. Simply you can type [ quote="username"]the quote[/quote] or the website has a feature for a quote, near the top right of the post that lets you quote it in the next post you make.

2. The links abraker provided talk about a setting change that would allow everything (more specifically, a customizable UI that is shown in the drain time, or the times that the leaderboard does show up.) to be hidden.

3. I don't necessarily think that the issue is whether or not PF and SD need to be changed. You know when you aren't getting an S in osu!std, but if you are gunning for SS then you definitely know and can always check during the run if you are SSing/Sing the run. I don't see any need for a change since you don't NEED a change to the mods to get an SS.

If its QoL you are looking for then just use the UI/HUD and to know when you aren't SSing or Sing the run.

Thank you for the quote tip :D Yes I had to double check, the first link didn't make a lot of sense to me because it's not what I was asking for but the second link is the same feature I'm looking for.

I'm mixing these two features together because in an ideal world I would love to play with PF + complete interface hidden so I don't have to worry if I'm still holding an SS or not and I don't get distracted by anything. If the interface is hidden with shift+tab you can't see anything and I've had times when I didn't even realize I didn't SS until I got to the result screen AND even if I re-enable the interface to check if I'm still SS'ing or not that would kill the whole purpose of having the interface disabled because at certain point of the map you get nervous. Currently PF and SD doesn't provide anything good or bad to the game so why not make it useful? If you don't SS or FC the map your play is not submitted, is this something bad I'm proposing or useless?

Hmmm not quite like this, more like how SD works in multiplayer but most people don't know that because only SS players use it in multi
