The current method to watch a replay is nice how you can speed it up or slow it down. However time and time again I have wanted more features to be added to this mode. Here are a list of things that would be nice to have added when watching a replay.

1.) Ability to pause replay.
Reason: When watching a replay you might need to pause to do something. This is not possible, and if you missed something you will need to watch the entire replay over again.

2.)Ability to scrobble through a replay.
Reason: If you want to watch a specific part of a long song for practice and the editor is not meeting your needs it would be nice if you did not have to sit through the whole song to watch one part. Also if you want to watch the part multiple times you can go back and watch it again.

3.) More speed options, or speed slider bar.
Reason: Sometimes when watching a replay there might be a pattern just too fast for you to comprehend at the already low 0.5x speed. If there was a slider that went from 0 to say 2x it might help players grasp the technique for faster songs.

I've seen lots of requests related to this. I have no idea why it wasn't implemented yet.

1.) You can already sort of do this by clicking the button to add a comment, and then clicking in the text box.
2.) An experimental version of replay scrubbing is up on the test build, I think. Replay scrubbing is actually extremely inconvenient due to the way the score system works and what kind of data replays contain, hence why such an obvious feature doesn't exist yet.
3.) I support this.

There's a seek bar feature on the test build somewhere. hopefully should be ready at some point soon x.x

This needs a bump and extra consideration... replays are tedious to go through when you have a 4 minute map to watch on double time.

Edit: I got ninja bumped

These would really help people in improving and finding out exactly what mistakes they do when they play. Knowing that would allow people to improve faster.

TheLewa thought it would be a fantastic idea if this were implemented and everyone jumped onto the train.
But he didn't realize that we are certainly aiming for the stars with this one.

The most important one is pretty much the ability to seek to a certain point in a replay.

yeah, that was added. i remember having some fun with that, but it was buggy as hell when first added. got removed/disabled or something until it's more stable
not 100% though:(

Well, I hope this brings some more attention to such feature. It would improve the existing replay system to a point, where it's almost like in any other game with a replay system.

And I think we can all agree, that people kinda want this thing being worked on again

It would be pretty awesome aswell if u'd have the possibility to make the hitcircles on replays with Hidden-Mod visible in some form.

what's the point in watching a replay with hidden, if you just disable the hidden mod?
anyway, that's a different request. lets just stick with the 3 that are mentioned in here

How so? It would make it a LOT easier to actually understand what you're doing in regards to the map and would especially help with (spaced) streams to see what exactly you're doing wrong

This of course only applies to when replays are used as a matter of troubleshooting when you have problems doing certain patterns or parts in a map.

It would help you seeing for example if you are following streams incorrectly while using hidden, but yeah you're right, this is off-topic.

I second this. It would help see if you are over/under-aiming, I would be on deadbeat's side if the suggestion was to toggle hardrock off or flashlight etc as those are useless, but if you can disable hidden in replay you would see exactly where you are aiming and fix it and improve quicker.

Speaking of replay features, it would be nice to have multiplayer save local replays (without manually having to F2) ;_;

Not really: The thread is titled "Extra replay features" so anything mentioned should contribute to the thread in question. Anything off topic/relating to another thing in osu is a different story.

Forums are for discussing. If everyone would make an own Thread for anything thts not 100% related to the "real " point of the Thread, you would have thousands of posts with little details, that nobody would have the time /energy to read/ think about / and discuss if they are usefull or not. The reason of why disabling HD during the replay has allready been mentioned. It's just my opinion about the topic "Extras for replay mode " if you consider this as 'off-topic' idk how to reply on that ^^

Wow the stars on this really exploded! Well anyway the idea to auto-save replays in multiplayer is a great idea as well. It could be a simple toggle in the options whether or not you want it enabled. This seems like a very easy implementation. It always upsets me when I get a really nice play in multi and hit escape without remembering to save it. Hopefully Peppy reads this great thread!

Edit: Also the save failed plays is a great idea. It would be helpful to see why you fail in a map to help you practice. Just like in target practice when you fail you get a D. The replay data could show the same thing to make things less complicated, and show the score screen at the end of the replay.
