Catch the Beat, CtB for short, is a game mode that requires players to control a character to catch fruit in time to the music. The fruits fall from the top of the screen to the bottom, with the character holding a plate above their head.
Scoring

Scoring follows the same multiplier as in standard as shown here, however, notes that add score are different from standard. A regular sized fruit gives a score of 300 times the multiplier. A large juice drop gives a score of 100. The smallest drop (also called droplet) gives a score of 10, however, missing droplets do not remove your current combos, while the others do.
Accuracy is defined by how much you have caught and how much you missed.
Possible Grades
SS : 100.00% Accuracy
S : 98.01% to 99.99% Accuracy (You can have 'S' rank even if you make several misses, like in osu!mania)
A : 94.01% - 98.00% Accuracy
B : 90.01% - 94.00% Accuracy
C : 85.01% - 90.00% Accuracy
D : Any other accuracy under 85.00%.
A silver S or SS means that the song was played using the 'Hidden' or 'Flashlight' mod.
Controls

By default, the left and right arrow keys are used to move the catcher. Pressing the left shift key with one of the arrow keys will make the catcher dash in that direction (indicated by a bright glow around the catcher).
Hyperdash is an automatically triggered gameplay element in Catch the Beat play mode, designed to obliterate "impossible jumps" (where two objects were previously impossible to catch because of the distance that separated them). It is automatically activated when obtaining a red glowing fruit (the first of an impossible pair) and stays active until you are in range of the second fruit, or have already missed it. It will speed you up a variable amount such that if you are dashing, you will always be able to make it to the destination in time.
You may use mouse control if you enable the relax mod.
Sliders leading into jumps is self explanatory. Players will be forced to move slowly on a track going left for about a second, then have to change speed, direction, and pacing in order to keep up.
In Rankings

Until April 10, 2012, Catch the Beat maps could not be ranked or be included in ranked maps. However, this has now changed, and mappers may now make CTB-specific difficulties, provided they follow the guidelines. These guidelines are very much a work in progress, but as more CTB maps are ranked and is given from their players, the guidelines will evolve to be as thorough and comprehensive as the standard osu! guidelines.

Pretty sure a large chunk of this was plagiarized from the OsuAcademy Video for CTB introduction lol.

tbh it's not good to not have an asian representation of mappool selector imo, at least there are plenty of well-knowledged players and testers in asia, so it may considered as discrimination to asian people

I wonder how this CTB match would be. Does it mean someone about above 5000k numbers could this I mean for example :

A.7500
B.8000
C.8500
D.9000

[ Choose which might unacceptable. ]
Well,I just wanted to know..
Those numbers in thousand is ranks of player rather the example...

I think there should be more diversity in the map selectors so we should allow people of african american decent to break free of their opression on this game and finally use their extreme limitless talent to the maximum.

I think that a great mapper and player such as Tyrell with a wide bredth of wisdom on the true inner workings of this mode would be a great addition to the team!

This is kinda ridiculous, firstly because it's clearly not any kind of discrimination, using that word is an insult to those actually oppressed if you use it in a situation like this, the mappool selectors happen to not include any asian people, that is all, it can't be said that that is intentional.
Secondly, just because someone is from a different region of the world, doesn't mean they have a different idea on what maps come out. It's not like, for example, me as a British person, sees different maps to a French or an American person. Our own personal experiences may decide which maps we see and which we don't, and who we know, but that is definitely not decided by the region where we live.
Thirdly, map pools were selected weeks ago, it's too late for any real change here, and so adding another mappool selector at this point is basically pointless due to the fact that they would have no work to do, and no real representation.

tbh it's not good to not have a north american representation of mappool selector imo, at least there are plenty of well-knowledged players and testers in america, so it may considered as discrimination to american people

@sangkraz your rank needs to be a number smaller than 5000. So as of now you'd need to have at least 1665pp to
that said, there's only 6 spots per country, so you need to be one of the top 6-8 active players in your country rank to

I agree! Where is the New Zealand representation, I feel left out because people barely know my country and only let Deadbeat be apart of staff because he hates to identify as a citizen of a team that's never made it out groups for any mode xD

hi Karma

Hello ^~^

Yay time to be a burden to my team

hello

good luck for all

It does seem kind of weird not having a map selector known for mapping/modding very difficult maps (ittedly I don't know zirox or deif's recent history when it comes to this), hopefully the finals won't be underwhelming or disproportionate because of it. Have fun people
