songs don't correspond to stats, but they'll be color coded for whichever type they're suited for. pink = cute, blue = cool, orange = passion, rainbow = all.

This is me when I'm playing Angel Breeze in Starlight Stage.
I somehow cannot for the life of me get the tap that's simultaneous with an early swipe, but everything else is a-okay.
I even burned a couple of practice tickets to get there, try it, and quit.

Managed to get my SR Eli with only 1 Loveca spent. Given that i missed out on 2 days, I guess I can get 0-Loveca SRs as long as I make sure to play everyday.

One thing I appreciated about SS was the fact that the game tells you when you've FC'd a song instantly, instead of waiting till the end of the song to tell you like SIF does.

Also on the pull machine there's something that requires 60 Star Gem things instead of 250; what is that?

i accidentally spent 1 star gem in starlight stage, so now i will forever be stuck with a 1 off from gacha until i earn another 25, or 50 or w/e. Unless there is a way to earn single stars.

Or I could spend like 24 of them somehow. I dont even remember what I accidentally was able to spend a single one on.

I think there was a room item that used up 1 gem. Well, started up Starlight Stage again since I was bored, played a bunch and did my first 10-pull. Got baseball idol as my first SR. Rina also dropped for me from the event too, so I'm 2 SRs ahead already!

oh right that's what it was that I did. I used 1 gem accidentally cuz i tried to upgrade something while upgrading something else and just thought it was a regular confirmation screen, but it was actually a "use a gem to complete the other upgrade so you can upgrade this thing?" screen since I guess you cant upgrade multiple things at once.

Also what is the SR Eli you guys talking about? Is that in the japanese version of love live? In the english version it is a nozomi event right now

Oh cool, SS can give you SRs from songs?

Also after playing the initial song I tried to play a different song but none of the music came up much to my annoyance and confusion. Plus the text on the button was different.

After failing to understand what it meant I figured I had to go through the story to unlock more songs, tried to play the story, then realized I had to download the next chapter like you hafta do in SIF.

Then I realized that the songs weren't playing any preview music and I couldn't play them because they hadn't been downloaded yet.

Silly me.

What's with the numbers that come up once you choose to play a song? 4 or 5 or 19 or whatever.

The SR is from the event that's goin on. If you play certain type of song (depends on the day of the event) it gives you a chance to get event currency, or even the idols you can buy with the event currency. The higher the star rating of the person you have as the center increases the chance of drop as far as I can understand. so I put a 5 star normal idol in the center of my event group instead of an idol that has an ability and lower star rating.

I'm using the google translate app on my phone to take pictures of my tablet and translate things :v:

also for the number that comes up after you choose a song, do you mean where you can set it to something else? That's the speed the notes come down at, so like if you are playin something and can't tell which note comes first you might want to speed them up so that they are spaced apart more and you can tell which order to hit stuff in.

I personally recommend a note scroll speed of 9 or 9.5. Nice and quick to get some good spacing in, but with enough time to react.

Also I'm glad that it applies to new songs instead of having to go back and up the scroll speed every time a new song comes out.

First image: It's telling you that your Trainer Ticket Time (トレチケタイム) has that much longer to go (5h47m).
The switchy-switch just says "Trainer Ticket Time" and "Money Gain up", basically.
The last one is like "Lesson big success chance up" (literally Lesson Big Success ^).

1. 5hr, 47min for whatever bonus that is. Trainer ticket, I guess? Pretty sure that just means they have a greater chance of showing up as rewards.

2. Trainer ticket, I think. The second one's money.

3. This should mean you have a greater chance of getting bonus xp for leveling up idols.


Also, I like a speed of 8 or 8.5, because I'm using a phone. 9 is all sorts of dicy with that limited room. Although I also never changed the default. It encourages me to pay attention, so I don't forget to reset things if I wanted to try them on a different speed for whatever reason. It is really not fun to have a song pop up in an event and you just tap through only to realize you're now playing a song you don't remember at 9.5…

Also yay, I finally got the Rina SR to drop. Now I can spend 1000 points on stars, I guess? I don't think I need another cute SR, although she does have a nicer skill than combo bonus up… Are the stat levels given on the event page just bare stats, without the heart-level max bonus?

e. ah. sniped while doing math :v

yeah click the "TOP" button on the song selection screen, or go to the home page and click the top right button. they go to the event page, and you click the thing on the right with the blue coin and you can buy the idols with the event points

I have a question about the rehearsals thing. is that you get 3 rehearsals per song, or is this some consumable ticket that is applied across all songs?

edit: nvm
http://cg-starlight-stage.tumblr.com/post/138047703369/version-150

You get 3 rehearsal tickets per day.

They dont consume stamina, and when you run out of life in a rehearsal the song keeps going so you dont have to start from the beginning and you can see the full song even if you are bad

Yeah, I did that as well. Doomed to a not-round stars number forever.

Also personally I've never had any desire to change the note speed from the default, things seem fine without it. Luckily you can stop it prompting you about that every time.

Adjusting note speed has been really useful in figuring out some of the bullet hell portions of master songs. Couldn't pass a decent number of songs before bumping them to at least 7.5-8. Also, I love caravan events. I can not care about using my stamina optimally, practice songs on master, and get free SRs while doing it.

Speed is addictive. I swear anything below 9 is too slow for me now.
It does take time to get used to. At regular and debut, it's probably not necessary, but for some pro and most if not all master, it's intensely beneficial to up the scroll speed.

Tokimeki Escalate in particular is hell without speed upped.
