I'm confused, is this for the JP version?
Sidenote it's a good thing no one like Hanayo, I'm on track to t1/t2 . Also what exactly is the point to reaching t1 and getting 2 SRs? Is it so you can have one idolized and one non idolized?

It's one of the skills that the new set of Rs have. It's like perfect lock but doesn't cover Goods.

You can keep them like that, or you can use the non idolized one to level the skill of the idolized one. It depends on how valuable the skill is.

Thanks. I did just get a new R. I figured that the people who want tier 1s want a whole team of their idol and maybe an idolized version in the middle.

I'm enjoying the game again since the songs are hard and aren't songs I've already double S'd. After getting into the soccer spirits game I wish they had an auto complete - at least for songs you've already double S'd. Make them all hit goods or whatever. It would double up as a jukebox too.

Kodoku na Heaven Expert is literally exhausting to play if you're shooting for the full combo. The scales come at juuuuuust about the speed at which I can actually perceive them. :psypop:

Now to kill myself slogging through more non-event songs to prep for the next several runs of it to get that S. And then try Random again.

Took me 174 tries to full combo Love&Peace EX :suicide: I caved in after 160 tries of missing just 1 or 2 times and went for a full perfect lock team with mixed colors. I feel like I've cheated since it wasn't skill that did it, just stacking the perfect locks.

It's how I managed to FC Snow Halation EX for the first time, so don't feel too bad. :V

I don't think I'm gonna be able to FC Kodoku na Heaven EX by the end of the event. I actually failed the Random chart on my first try, something that hasn't happened to me since probably Susume Tomorrow EX(or Soldier Game EX on the JP version). poo poo got realer this time around.

I'm not even going to try, it took me over 30 tries FC'ing just the Hard version, and I still can't do it reliably. I just can't connect those rapid alternating notes with the song, and since I play with one hand a lot of the screen is blocked by it when I reach for notes in the upper corners.

TBH I haven't comboed Hard either in the times I ran it. Had to choose between getting friend points or gems.

It was pure luck the perfect locks lined up the way they did when I FC'ed it. I have no way of timing it since I can't get the notes to match the song in my head in the alternating parts, so I just have to concentrate on actually hitting them at all and pray the PL saves me. Which has worked once. Well, three times, but the other two times I hosed up on the easy parts first so it didn't matter.

I hate that note chart.

What really helped me was watching a video guide with a sound assist. From there id just try to match the rhythm i heard in the video.

Anyways I'm on track for t2, but the reddit predictions make me hopeful i can just barely make it to t1.

I looked at the video and found out that that specific song had been revised, so I couldn't follow it quite well. Either way, here's 541 notes of jittery-ness

This helped me FC through Takaramonos, but I just couldn't get through those waves of notes during the chorus on the event song. I was at least able to T2 without putting in much effort, though.

Here's my take on it: :suicide:

Jesus loving christ, I can't even full combo it on medium, and if not being able to full combo a song on medium difficulty isn't shameful at this point then I don't know what is. Then again even on easy it was obvious it was going to be terrible since it has more notes than some of the hard songs.

At least I got 2 love gems just from getting an S score on the hardest one (1 for A, 1 for S), so it was worth completing once at least, but gently caress trying to full combo it.

Anemone Heart is tough for a hard for sure, but I think I could maybe manage at least an A if I put my all my stamina for the day toward it.

Otomeshiki Renai Juku though... still can't even pass it after like 4 attempts. It's bananas. Maybe it's just me. I've never failed a song this bad.

I used a gem and got 2 back for S score. These are cool and all but they're during a score match event so they use up stamina that would be used to get higher on the leaderboard. It's already getting tough because apparently a lot of people like umi.

Man I can't wait to try and fail with you guys - I just need to finish getting my event SR first. I've been slacking at this game but the only things I feel like I'm missing are more replays for eventual gems. It's good they're introducing these new songs so I'm excited to play again.

Now that I've gotten several attempts on Binetsu Kara Mystery on Expert inside of the event, I think it's actually a blast to play. Even the dual mashing parts are fun. Can't wait for the song to come back in a monthly rotation, it's almost as much fun as After School Navigators

The mystery song is really fun to listen to and I'm looking for English songs that use the same melody in the refrain. Sounds like something that could be a power ballad.

It'll be a cold day in hell before I even consider wasting LP on Soldier Day EX, seeing as I can barely complete the hard version. Also Nawatobi was awesome; easiest 5 gems ever.

It's a weird feeling when Soldier Game EX is actually easier to me than Otome Shiki EX. The former is overall more difficult, sure, but the chorus parts of the latter are what constantly get my stamina down to 1/4 or even fail.

After finishing Soldier Game EX twice I know I'm going to have to watch a video of the chart if I'm ever going to get more than, like, one gem out of it. Every cluster of the rapid taps is already on the way while I'm still sightreading the previous chunk.

Nico Puri is... quite something. After failing the hard version I'm not sure what is more grating; the singer, the lyrics or the note chart. Maybe I just shouldn't be playing the game before having had the first coffee, but the deluge of notes a little past halfway got me good.

*Edit*

Well, coffee certainly helped, at least I finished it and got my three gems. It's still an annoying song though.

welp, Garasu no Hanazono is the only song of the new Dailies that I wasn't able to full combo by the end of the day. I understood the chart, but scales on the right side were what did me in. At least I managed to finally get Diamond Princess no Yuutsu and Susume Tomorrow.

Bit by bit I'm also starting to get the middle part of Soldier Game EX. It's starting to be the easiest song for me out of the four Daily EX charts, which feels ironic in a way.

Is there a list of upcoming idol URs? I feel like the English version started to go off the tracks of the Japanese one when the event re-dos weren't done. I have 130 gems waiting for Nico to show up.

I look up the UR releases on the LLSIF wiki by Japanese version release date and infer the order from there.

If you're looking for a promotional increased rate thing featuring Nico, you're going to be waiting a while. The last time she was in one was early February, and her turn doesn't come again until this August.
