At this point I'm so tired. Going for 400+ combos is good enough for me.

Can I :smug: too. I was so pissed off at work just now I just went ahead and did this. I guess I do better when I angry play.

Though mine was a good deal shorter.

And man, my EN Cool team absolutely destroys medleys. When there's not a normie being bonded, I get to S rank around the beginning of the third song.

Oh boy, new SSR is Sachiko. Budgeting 3 10-pulls. Just did two: 3 SR, one of which was a dupe. Gonna do my last pull in the morning.

Good luck. Maybe I'll go for it too, can't wait forever for my hypothetical ideal SSR card to show up.

Last pull results: 9 dupe R and a Chieri SR.

Overall: 2/3 pulls were bare minimum, one pull had 2 SR. Good to know my lack of luck is consistent.

Now I just need Girlfriend (Note) to leave its two-weeks-and-counting maintenance so i can continue to fail at being lucky drawing new waifu cards.

Oh man, niiiiice. Which songs were on your medley? My highest is only a 1412 with Loveless World, Wonderful Rush, and Wild Stars.

Looks like it was Paradise Live, Loveless World, and Wonderful Rush. The first and last part of paradise live always kills me, guess I got lucky that time

Ooh, yeah, those odd sections. I don't completely know where I stand on patterns like that - sometimes it's like, hey, it's neat and is a regular irregularity, and sometimes, I can't zero in on the rhythm they're going for (like in dailies).

Is there any way other than events to unlock the Expert versions of some songs? I've been doing some MedFest stuff on Expert and finding that I really like the beat maps for some of the older songs that seem sort of boring on Hard.

Expert songs are just on rotation, there's no unlocking to be done. Over the next several months we should get more in rotation at a time, if EN follows JP.

This is how we roll.
Oh hey! I play these games. I'm a really big rhythm game fan (Was huge into DDR and Rock Band) so as soon as I found SIF I took to it and have been playing a little over a year on the EN side and just started on the JP side. I just started Starlight Stage as well, which I'm really liking.

I just got my first Medfes EX full combo, but looking at your guys scores I seem to have gotten the welfare medley


I'M STILL PROUD.

I'm pretty new on Starlight Stage but I managed to Tier high enough for the last 2 Tier SRs (Mika and Asuka, as well as the point SRs) which I'm using to build my teams because I'm sitting on a bunch of gems I refuse to use for rolls right now.

I'm kind of an event person. I play almost all the events on SIF (and try to tier, which I'm currently working on for Santa Maki) and really like the events on Starlight Stage.

Idol hell is real.

Definitely be proud. Comboing that high marks skill progression. :3:

I think I'm gonna get back to SS more for the sake of bonding a bunch of new idols I've picked up over the past month.

Are you playing the song as a non-event song? IIRC there are a bunch of songs (idk if it's all songs) that can give Rs as highly infrequent rewards on regular play.

Non-event, yeah, on JP.

I cant' remember if it was Private Wars or the non-new Lily White song.

Paradise Live was the hardest one; after I got the last part I let out this huge sigh.

I would've played way more of MedFes, but finals week kept me from playing much. I can likely still get the event card at least.

Also, apparently the chance to get an R reward from a regular Live Show has been increased on JP, so that might play a part.

Same. Good news! They'll probably have functional versions of the apps in the stores tomorrow! Or later today, I guess? It's the 16th in Japan, I suppose.

Also, getting Rs from SIF is a nice present, but it would be really nice if they'd at least offer up more than the initial batch of normals, at the very least.

Yeah, I had checked earlier today due to having google-translated their site and seeing something about Tuesday, so we'll see what happens there. I'll be sure to hunt down resources regarding how to play and navigate, and links will be added to the OP as I'm able to find them.

It's probably going to be Android earlyish tomorrow (their time), and then however long it takes them to navigate the App Store submission process for iOS, though. Someday I'll be there for a working, simultaneous launch...

That means little when GF Note has been "scheduled to re-open tomorrow" every day for the past two weeks.

How many more event points would I get if I could play full 3 EX medleys (only have 53 lp)? I get ~620 for the two songs I can fit in now.

http://decaf.kouhi.me/lovelive/index.php?title=Gameplay#Medley_Festival

If you're only doing 2 EX, the closest to 620 points are S Score/B Combo (624) or A Score/S Combo (621). The corresponding base point values for those performance combinations with 3 EX songs are 970 and 965 points, respectively, so ~345 points more for a full 3-song EX medley.

Having 120+ LP really helps when it comes to justifying spending gems on refills, and if I really get into a groove I can spend a few hours just popping refills like a bad addiction. I'm definitely gonna shoot for 100k tomorrow, but depending on how I'm feeling vs how the cutoff looks I might just call it there.

AND THE GIRLFRIEND THING IS FINALLY PLAYABLE

Some kind of video is playing. (I'm going to shittily describe what's going on.)

There were four girls eating, one of which was Chloe Lemaire. One of the girls was imagining some dude they were talking about? And she thought he was a sloth. Then they're in the gym and all of a sudden he's a Jojo. Now they're daydreaming about stuff. Brown haired girl likes some kind of melon pan looking thing. Principal Jojo observes with tempered amusement.
Now they're clapping for some kind of lottery. Everyone's luck is poo poo.
Now they're 3D and not 3D again.

And that seems to be it. Managed to get through about a third of the loading before the video ended.
I really need to learn Japanese faster.

Also I'm pretty sure this is on the official website but I never saw it all the way through.
