Tsun idol,
Competing-with-Koume-for-horror-movie-lover idol, and
Airhead strips a lot idol.

I dropped :10bux: on Starlight Stage when I started and used it for discounted daily pulls, and I haven't put any more into it.

Let's not talk about how much in SIF

yeah the guy in the video that spent hundreds of dollars sounded so excited when he finally got that chick. Like if I'd just spent hundreds of dollars and finally got something I don't think that I would be all that excited. Maybe if I spent like $10 and got it, but not hundreds.

Tsun is good.
No comment.
And the stripping idol is good, but I already have her SSR, so it's a bit underwhelming (tho' I don't mean to complain).

I guess Nao shows up in the second season, since she's in Triad Primus, but do the others? Or were they somewhere in the first and I didn't notice? It seems weird that there'd be voiced idols not in the anime.

I have work shifts 1~-9~pm for the rest of this week which I felt was a good enough time to catch all the key watchers, so I don't think I'd be able to do it this week. I do have a completely empty slot on Tuesday so maybe something will happen then?

This is how we roll.
I love all of Triad Primus and really want a full SSR team of them someday so of course I'm never going to get Nao. Pulled the new SR girl in a solo pull though.

May just save all my gems for many salty pulls for Karen Hojo whenever they decide to release her as an SSR

You should definitely listen to her third regular communication even if you don't understand the words. What's important is the setup is (these are the same for every idol) they have to get a photo of their cutest smile. And the third, fourth and fifth things you say are that she's cute, seriously cute, and the cutest in Japan.

I see. Well 8 am i wont be awake most likely, and i also haven't seen any idolm@ster anime besides the 1st episode of the original, so i probably won't show up to the 2nd season of Cinderella girls. Started watching it cuz I started playin the game.

Yeah I wasn't really too hot on her in the second season since she was sort of a whole nothing character from what I remember but the fan interpretations and everything else really shows off her appeal.

You also spent more stamina of course, which is why people draw up efficiency charts of difficulty/stamina/points, though they boil down to 'do the hardest thing you can consistently S-rank'. Apparently it's marginally better to A-rank the event song on Master than to S-rank it on Pro, but I'm going to need more rehearsals before I feel good about that.

well the event song i can't even do at all on master without paying 40 gems to continue it twice. (which i only tried once, cuz i was overconfident after beating the lvl 20 song)

The song I can beat on master is Onagai! Cinderella, which is only lvl 20, and I can only B rank it. So that's 45 even tokens for 18 stamina B rank master song, vs. 47 tokens for an S rank 17 stamina pro song.

It's a clear advantage to just play pro songs for me at least.

yeah you really shouldn't be using gems to continue a song at all to be quite honest, especially now that we have rehearsal tickets so you don't have to potentially burn stamina to see if you can clear a song.

Mitsuboshi is my go to song for clearing on master. It's a fast song but it's also a really simple song so it's easier than most master songs in my opinion. I can regularly get an A rank and an occasional S rank while I have trouble even surviving most master songs.

yeah the only reason i did it was cuz i didn't want to waste the event tokens. I ended up getting 50 star gems from beating the song the 1st time though, so I had a net gain of 10 star gems. I used my rehearsal tickets on the song that i managed to actually beat on master difficulty, which was Onegai! Cinderella. It's not like I am going to go and try to beat the event song again and use more gems, I know I can't do it on master now.

However, I have full combo'd it on Pro.

I feel like there is way too large of a difficulty barrier between pro and master..

Full combo on pro songs, failing multiple times on master.

That's because the difficulty zigzags through different songs rather then increasing linearly. There are easy master songs and difficult master songs. This means the jump from Pro to master can be huge or be only a small jump in difficulty depending on the song.

God, the stamina overflow in GF Note is so nice now.

So it looks like there are two expert-level songs there which trip me up a shitton: Meguru Meguru Seitokai Days and a new song this event, Sketch.
Just made it through the latter with less than a sixth of my life remaining. Pretty rapid to me. Fun challenge.

Is that why I suddenly had like 90 stamina? I was kinda wondering what the hell that was about…

Those levels just barely mean anything. Maybe more stars == more notes, but honestly it's about as useful an indicator of a song's difficulty as the stamina cost is.

The event song, incidentally, is actually really nice, so far as master event songs go. There isn't an rear end in a top hat part at the very end that doesn't really make any sense, which is very pleasant~

If you aren't just plain falling on your face for a huge part of the song, try using more healers, maybe? So long as you don't have a huge section where you're constantly loving up, it might help. Plus, the healers tend to have more hp to begin with, which is also helpful. I mean, that'll only take you so far, if your team can't manage above a B, it can't manage a B. Although I think SS was a little bit kinder about it being impossible to score at least halfway decently once you've unlocked master than other games. That aikatsu game thrives on suffering, I think.

that's were i stopped reading.

not because i think you're wrong, but because that is literally what the event is about. Scoring the highest base entirely on a song's stamina cost


it sucks that i have this knowledge but am also terrible at the game so i can sound like an rear end in a top hat while also being loving stupid and terrible at the same time.
