It's immoral to take part in a beta where you can't read the words and won't give any feedback, imo

:toot: got enough buttcop to replace the ninja as my center (at least for passion)

Also, in 2d mode, it always shows idiolized costumes and uh, she goes from buttcop to bloomercop, I guess?

Pretty nice that they changed the last day of the caravan to "gently caress it play whatever." When I glanced at the thing a few days ago I thought it was just an untyped day. This is way better.

I presume this beta stuff's all in one of those news posts somewhere? How the hell do you even multiplayer a rhythm game: just head-to-head stuff like an arcade machine?

it says it's 協, collaboration, but yeah I don't really know what that means. There's a follow-up tweet saying they're doing 'matching' which in regular CG means arranging people into teams/selecting which teams will play which so maybe just team-versus score challenges.

I got my FC Master Onegai Cinderella, so I guess I'm satisfied. I'll still have to buy Noriko with tokens, though.

Ooh, KLab has made Takaramonos, Paradise Live, and Angelic Angel available on the B-Sides in EN!
I was confused at why the first two had even the E/N/H available until I realized it's probably for people good enough to EX, but without those two unlocked.

Now to see if I still have any hope of getting selected. D:

Seems like the idol team itself is made up of 1 idol from each person, with a multiplier for a certain thing on each position, so you should pick your idol accordingly, and then you all play the song or something

More or less. Where you get plonked into the lineup is random enough. Also, since it doesn't use stamina, I'm assuming that's the reason why you can't actually fail. Because I've definitely bottomed out my health and kept going, and kept getting points, too. (Thanks Anzu. Your song is a treasure.) I think it's kinda weird that you can still get points if you fail, but I can see how that would just piss people off if one member just stopped getting points 30s into a song. I'm sure it has some effect under the hood.



You also get to communicate via idol, kinda like SIF's "Nice FULL COMBO" button. :v Uzuki's says ganbarimasu You get get to pick different sets (of four) for before and after the song's over.



You can see how everyone's doing, score and combo-wise on the left. I think the bar shows their level within the score tier, but I'm not entirely sure.

I have no idea how the ranking works, though. Although since it's about contribution, I guess "not dying" is probably a key part of it :v
But it's not just score (you can sorta see in the top one, there's a total score (it's just the total)

what kind of event

e: i just beat dokidoki on master with a team of 2 rares and 3 normals. I definitely feel like I am improving, although i used 3 practice tickets (passed on my 3rd practice ticket too) before doing it. Now i should go beat it on my main account.

e: oh cool that "new" communication bug showed up again.

I think of it as a very good excuse to stay hella behind on them.

Oh, also if you say, friend someone in the beta coop mode, and for some reason can't leave the results screen, try sending friend requests to everyone.

…idk, maybe it's a fairness thing? I just wanted to be friends with the dollar sign, really.

More importantly: full ranko! It's kinda like in the coop 3ds zelda game where matching cheers and stuff is a fun little diversion, only you also have to hope everyone has the same person in their set

I wonder what I should spend my tokens on.. If I manage to get 2 more Sanae drops that would put her at 8, and 157 more tokens I could buy 3 copies of her to get her up to 11 star rank, but i doubt that i will get that much with just 3 hours remaining and probably only 2 more song plays with stamina regen. Guess I should probably just get star gems, since i already have 2 donut girls

Wasn't going to but Syoko tempted me to do a 10-pull.



Disappointing. I already got the Cool one from a Friendship pull a week or two back. At least I got bancho girl.

I'm tempted to spend money and do another 10-pull.

Blegh, unvoiced SR.

In comparison, this pull was better than I expected cause the SR's skill makes you invincible. You don't lose health while her skill is active.

It's technically superior to healing cause it prevents damage entirely.

It's good but it's pretty situational. If you could hit the notes anyway it's just a wasted skill trigger.

Well, to an extent, but at least you get something out of that if you took damage earlier, the thing with invincibility is it has to trigger exactly during the part you can't do.
