[O4rfish]

This game is really hard on hard.
BTW, Eli is a great waifu with great vitals, but her in-game stats are balanced which doesn't seem too great. Probably better to start with someone whose very name means "smile"

[Labuto]

Oh fuck me.

[yuyukos]

I pulled an R Maki from a free gacha, all of my regrets at not starting with her.

[Chaore]

If this game is anything like the Japanese one,  then there will be events which guarantee at least an SR when rolling 10+1 in premium.
And others which increase the chance of drawing certain cards or certain types.

At that, while I'm sure I'll find this out on the wiki later-

Are there pal event equivalents? it just hit me that the way they do their daily rewards for pal machine makes friendship point stockpiling kinda a pain.

[O4rfish]

I was running so low on gold I had to sell one of my girls to pay for cannibalism fees. I didn't know you get tons of money each time you idolize and completely bind a different girl* - 20k. Five of them ripened in quick succession and suddenly I had more money than I could spend.

*meaning a girl with a different name, so a different backstory or whatever

[Ghaleon]

so I was like oh hey what the heck, maybe I should try the game. I don't like rhythm games that much but I haven't been too impressed with any mobile games either, maybe rhythm games lack of interest to me doesn't lack so much on a platform which fails to interest me overall (given poor competition I mean...maybe I should start bringing my psp and ds along more often but I dunno.. I feel so dirty whipping them out in public. seriously, It's stupid I know but I do... maybe it's my age. I couldn't even whip out a phone pager in public school without causing a scene when I was there. I was never a spoiled kid but I was always the technological kid (despite never having my own pc until I was in effing college))..

anyway I figured I'd get it on my phone but... how to find on iphone. is it android only? I searched "love live" and nothing.
or is it not out in canada yet? I made a USA account for my phone for PaD but I only used it for that one purpose and haven't logged on since...I'll prob fail at remembering the login info qq.

snow halation a shit

i'm pretty sure it's busted because at a certain point it either literally wants me to tap faster than humanly possible or it's broken because everything taps WAY too late

[O4rfish]

Ghaleon: search for school idol festival, or maybe ラブライブ

Chaore: have you done the rhythm calibration minigame? It's in Other, Settings, Adjust Timing

[Labuto]

That felt great.

[O4rfish]

hax

[Labuto]

When you are used to playing Osu! This seems kind of easy. I am starting to have some trouble S-ing some of the 7star songs though.

[O4rfish]

Yeah but ... to supercombo a hard on your first try seems like a league or two above me.

Yeah, doing it fucked shit up worse.

It's just snow halation that does this, basically.

[Edible]

That's weird.  I wonder if it's possible that it didn't download properly.

[HakureiSM]

This thing doesn't run on 2.2, does it

[Edible]

Yep, 2.3 and up.

[Chaore]

it's also possible cool songs are just my bane

theres this part in mermaid festa that is just ' WHAT PRESS NO LINES OMG WHAT'

[Edible]

No, mermaid festa part 1 is bullshit and no one is disputing that :v

[Labuto]

This.
The part around 100 notes is complete utter bullshit.

[yuyukos]

Yeah, hard songs are kinda hard 

[Aba Matindesu!]

Wait until next year, when the 500 note EXs and 400 note HDs start flooding in :3

I think we'll all have left by then

This games a bad dragonesque and worse rhythym game. I'm almost tempted to force your all to play dorapo instead BV

[hyorinryu]

Is there a way to empty teams? Also, what's the best way to have the girls engage in cannibalism("practice"?) I heard you feed lvl 40 fodder to your rare guys but that's it. Also, is it efficient to do things on the most difficult level possilble?

Yeah, I like Groove Coaster more. It didn't have a stamina system and it's more forgiving. I think I'll want to try out those games too.

Hard gives the most rank exp per stamina

Your feed for girls will always be three trash, regardless of difficulty and ranks.

Bond -actually- apppears to be higher on higher difficulties (?) it just varies wildly but is overall less efficient than just doing the same amount of easy runs

basically grind rank on hard, girls on easy.

[Conqueror]

according to the wiki, bond is based on the length of your combos throughout the song.

Harder difficulties have more notes, but they're more difficult (obviously).

To get some love gems and money, idolize and max bond one each of the lowest-value girls that you wouldn't normally put on your team. Feed her to herself to make her wear the costume. Put one each of a certain color on a team. Edit: meaning one of each girl, but all from the same color so you're not throwing away score points. You have to get at least a C ranking in score to get the food.

Play the song with the longest combo that you can reliably achieve. The bond points will be divvied up amongst the girls. Girls with maximum bond will generously give their share to anyone else who needs it.

When an idolized girl gets max bond, click through her "story" and you never have to use her again. Don't forget to collect the album rewards for exploiting 5 girls, 10 girls, etc.

My bonding team consists of my 8 μ's girls and the one I'm bonding :V
