Anemone Heart on hard is pretty cool. I can see a lot of the chart as a stepping stone for some of the Super Hard charts because of all the time spent doing two things at once, except at half speed compared to the latter.

Also this next event is probably the first time I will be shooting for a tier 2. I hope 15 or so gems will be enough?

Finally managed to survive Otomeshiki Renai Juku on Expert with the Perfect Lock team, then survived it again with the high score team for the S rank (score, not full combo). That is not a chart to play before breakfast. Also several failures and saying goodbye quite a bit of LP during an event where I need to be grabbing as many tokens as possible.

I have no clue what a perfect lock team is or even if I have any girls with perfect lock.

But I do have a team that basically just is made to give me stamina or ease on timing a bit. I only need to use that for event/daily hards. I'm not amazing enough to touch expert yet.

Perfect lock is a skill some cards have(mainly the SR/UR cards, as well as the new Rs) that does what its name implies: lock the timing to be nothing but Perfects for a few seconds. A perfect lock team basically has cards with that skill, made to help full combo songs. The thing is these cards may not be the same color of Smile/Pure/Cool so your score may suffer, so you sacrifice scoring for full combo(like in my picture above). Stamina teams are fine if you're just trying to clear a difficult song, though.

The closest thing I have to Perfect lock is something that relaxes the timing a bit. I don't need to be perfect, but it makes it easier to get a perfect.

Crap, my mistake. The new Rare cards allow for slight ease of timing, not the same as regular perfect lock. I only briefly used them to max their bonds. haha

The worst part is after finally getting that pattern down, it's getting 1/2 goods somewhere in the double notes or right-side scales; I'm left-handed so I usually have trouble with the right hand side, which is why it took me forever to FC Garasu no Hanazono EX and still can't do Mermaid Festa 2 during those two REALLY crazy parts.

On the plus side, I now have 1200+ event points. Now to wait for 4x/EX/Random!

Got my tier 2 event rewards, but that cost me something like 25 gems. Would have been fewer if I wasn't messing around with failing the super hard Expert songs while gathering event tokens. Cutoff for the squirrel Honoka card was 20,269 points

Meanwhile, I've failed to realize that the post-event promotion Honor Student drawings are great for getting two copies of the same SR or UR card. Just not the one I want :v:

I love Leinster and I couldn't be happier that Jordie Barrett has signed with them on a short term deal.
Thanks to the advice in the thread, I got through the first event, and pulled 11 Honor Students this morning.

I guess my next goal is to get an S ranking on all of the Hard songs. Should I be spending all my exp trying to level up my Ultra Rare / Super Rare guys to their max levels first, or spreading it evenly amongst the members of a team?

only 2 new girls from the 11 pull. 1 SR, of course...

That's been 23 pulls from the rare machine which includes the one you begin with.

Should I feed off the dupes if I already have the idol'd version of them?

Yes. Do note that you can level the Skill of a card if you feed it a card with the same skill name (Rhythmical Charm, Timer Yell, Total Trick, etc.).

vvv fffffffuuuuuuu--old players will retroactively get vouchers based on rank, that's fantastic for me

The vouchers seem like an infinitely better system than getting 1 gem back per 50 gems you spend on the scouting. Now if only they'd make friend points useful for something too... Or gold for that matter.

You can dump all your gold this December when we catch up to Medley Events, where you spend it to get bonus stuff and/or survive the medley of songs you play in succession with no continues(?) and no post-song stamina recovery.

I'm at 95 max LP, but I stoned for LP a lot at the lower and mid levels, until my wrist told me that non-stop finger tambourine for 2 hours stretches at a time was not an ergonomically sound thing to do. Then again I also had a break period of a month or so where I barely played, so I guess it evened out a bit.

I'm at 100 LP and started when the game came out. Never spent a gem to regain LP. It's funny because the game is made to be played at set times of the day to not waste stamina so you end up taking it like a medicine. It's not as bad with more LP since you can do it during mealtimes just like a real medicine. :smoobles:

All I need is 3 more LP then I could do a chain of 3 hards in a row. I won't attempt extreme without perfect lock. Last time I did only normals and that didn't get me too far in the rankings. I failed horribly at the hards I tried back then.
I'm better now.

I use the vast majority of my gems to T2 events. It's kinda cool now because I've noticed that in some of the lowball events like the last Hanayo event, I end up profiting like 5 gems in the end.

This too. Before I had breaks between classes to do quick 1-2 song spurts, now I can knock out four EX songs in the morning before work, then 4 when I get home in the afternoon. That's nice.

Sometimes I am reminded that I am a filthy casual who will never amount to anything in this silly phone tapping game.

Yeah, I never added the code since I've been full up since the start and unlike PAD there's no limit to how many times a friend can be used.

*Edit*

Well, it's 539685384, but I have like 75 received requests that I can't accept since I'm full and declining them one by one is too much work at this point so there's probably not much point in adding me :v:

Trying out LLSIF on an iPhone 6 for the next couple of weeks. Initial impressions: opening splash screen is wider!!!!!11 and the chart timing is synced much more properly than on my Droid for some reason. The built-in speakers got some noticeable bass balance despite being tiny tweeters. Downsides are loading being a bit longer, and my thumbs aren't cooperating with the screen all too well at the corners, don't know if that's something that goes away with break-in.

Well, I have found a problem I had on my all smile team. I didn't have any stamina regenerators on it, so in hard mode a couple of songs in the daily challenge made it so I would just get to a low enough stamina count, so when the next part came that I don't have robotic fingers for and no perfect lock... yet, I would just get deeper and deeper into failure territory. And then lose completely.

These are pretty much the same impressions I had when I first played on my friend's iPhone 6 Plus, and then on my own iPhone 6. My biggest test was Wild Stars Hard: I would drop the charge notes at the beginning because of said timing issues. First try on iPhone, FC no problem. It could've been the issue of my phone being an S3 and newer models are better with syncing, but I can't deny that playing on my iPhone's pretty much perfect.
