You can also know other things about osu! by reading its glossary the pronunciation is written there from the very start

osu!
i) A rhythm video game for Microsoft Windows, based on certain DS games. Spelled with a lowercase "o" and an exclamation mark.
ii) An informal greeting in the Japanese language, resulting from condensing the phrase "Ohayo gozaimasu!" (Good morning!) Pronounced with a silent u ("OSS"). Close English equivalents include "Yo!" or "Hey!".

It's not from the word push in Japanese 'osu'?

Really? I still hear Osu or are my ears wrong? I think its because of the echo effect that it goes like that

Why is it pronounced as "os" anyways? Osu is the better pronunciation. It makes sense.

Because the game was made by a weeaboo. Either way is daijobu but the game is based off of a Japanese video game which was pronounced "OSS."

Uh no. It translates to "push".

I think pronouncing or not pronouncing the 'u' at the end of Japanese words are both correct.

I remember when I first played this game and it went

WELCOME TO OSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

And I went "Waht" because I thought it was oh-sue

((heheh. Oh, sue.))

Ohsss (one syllable)
I've never heard it pronounced ossss or oh-sue anywhere else but here. Unless Osu in this game means something completely different than what I think it is.
