A lot of us aren't good with words; we're visual learners. Hence, sometimes it's hard for me to identify exactly who made which high-score on certain ranked maps. IIRC, multiplayer does this, but could we have the avatar image appear next to a player's name on the ranking list on the song selection screen? Or, at least have it appear when you load the replay (in the corner, or shrink into the cursor/drums/fruit catcher).

I dunno, it's just a little visual I thought would be kinda cool; the avatars are already loaded into the /Avatars folder, so it shouldn't put any load on the server, right? Just match up the name of the replay to an available avatar.

If I'm not mistaken, something like this could only work if the user that made the replay is online at the time.

Else the avatar would have to be stored with the score/replay, which wouldn't necessarily reflect the user's current avatar and likely add to server load a fair amount.

I'm probably just talking out of my ass on this, though.

Actually, this is already half-implemented. The avatar just isn't being displayed yet. I kinda meant to do this a whiiiile back but got distracted...

Check your local osu! folder, we each have a massive collection of everybody's avatars. :|
