Thanks Mai!
What would Riina's reaction be to a whole concert hall chanting "kawaii!" at her after her rockin' performance?
>>140782287"That's pretty rock!"
Explain this, Producer-san.
>>140782434
>>140782476
You want some?
>>140782287
The usual embarrassment.This doujin features Producer fucking the everloving shit out of Riina on the beach. It's called HARA-M@S and I highly recommend it.

Rintold me she went to America and had sex with her boyfriend from /@/ because all the girls are doing it and she's bribing me to be quiet about it. Please don't misunderstand, Uzuki, I still think you're the best.

Please no

It's alright. There is no reason to be upset.

Why are they tweeting so early? Results aren't even out yet. Was this whole thing rigged?
>>140783086
Yes, Tonnura-san guy is Celebi.
>>140783298
If you have ranks separated by a few thousand, it's highly unlikely that anything will change.
>>140783298
Some of them are pretty much sure to win, like Reika winning the Ghost role.

I'm almost ashamed to think of how many times I've rewatched THAT Yukiyo video.
Almost.

don't worry not everyone can be an A+ class OP,like me
Birthday Jew
>>140783729
I bet she is happy she got to sing with Mocho at the 3rd live

Wouldn't you be happy if you got the chance to do that too?

I want to show Matsuri hime my loyalty by bringing her Tomoka's head.
>>140785539
Use the candies on her in your room if you really can't afford the life drain in regular gameplay.
>>140785743
Why would you show your loyalty to someone who can't even win against an apple?
>>140785743
I will protect Tomoka-sama.

>>140786190
For now, I just want her in SS.Goddammit I don't want another unvoiced hag to obsess over when I should be getting free of that after the election.
I want Helen in SS.
I want Yoriko in SS.
>>140786340
>>140786376
>>140786454
All eventually.
Mio got a gacha boost, so it's unlikely that she'll be leaving the top 3.
So among the three prospective unvoiced Passions: Yuzu, Yoshino and Shin, only two of them will make it into the 3.
Who among these three will get hit with the mute hammer?
I want Yuriko in SS
I want Makoto in SS
I want The Boys in SS
I want brand new original idols in SS.
Wait since Yukiyo has a Mocho folder does that mean Mocho poses for her?
I want
>>140786810
>>140786454
>there are people who like Yoriko
I don't believe you.
>>140786542
I'd love for it to be Yuzu and Sugar Heart, but the latter's not happening. It'll be Yuzu and Yoshino unless someone like Mika creeps in.
>>140786810
to kiss an idol? Yeah, me too. I especially want to kiss Kanade and make her legs weak.
I want to produce Chihiro.
>>140786903
Me too, Haruka.
>>140787050
>sample
You don't deserve it.
>>140786662
She saves screenshots of their conversations in line and stuff
>>140783659
There aren't that many songs in CG that hype me like SHV does; when that chorus drops, it's like a rushing power surge. I can't wait for the Starlight Master album release for this one.
It's a shame that events on the CG side of iM@S don't get fleshed out backstories and lore to them; this SHV event has the potential to rival some of the most fantastical events that ML has been able to put out, if they did that.
>>140786953
Yes, I like Yoriko. She's my favorite literal who and she's even in my top 10.
I want an idol to suck me.
>>140786035
>>140785983
>>140785973
>>140785875
Get out of here you damn dupes.
RIP jewels, maybe I shouldn't have used ALL of them.
Also, the last screenshot got corrupted.
>>140786953
>latter's not happening.
Takumi was around 4th or 5th place passion during the prelims last year.
I wouldn't count Sugar Heart out of the running just yet. A burst of dedicated autism can rack up her position. Even moreso since the people in her way aren't exactly dauntless juggernauts that will never budge an inch like the Cute Vanguards.
>>140787250
sachikong yeah!
>>140787206
I already drank it.
I want iDOLM@STER to get localizedShiny Festa doesn't count
Which idol is best at suckingblood?
>>140787338
Why on earth would you want that?
>>140787250
At least you got the cutest idolm@ster!
>>140787206
Fun fact: vacuum cleaners use pressure from blowing instead of sucking to pick things up. That said, I'm sure Kyoko could blow you real good...with a vacuum cleaner.
>>140787250
You got an SSR Mayu, though. 3 more days Burritoville time and you can celebrate properly with her!
>>140787409
Gotta live life on the edge
>>140787389
>>140787421
>>140787389
Do we have any actual vampire idols? Like, where vampirism is their gimmick?
I can only think of one and you have to go all the way to Aikatsu to find her.
>>140787524
kys
>>140787292
Only one in Takumi's way was Mio.
This time Sugar Heart has to beat Mika and either Yoshino or Yuzu while the latter two's Ps are giving it their all to get them voiced as well.
I don't think that's quite the same situation at all.
>>140787389
Takane is the only OG vampire I'll accept.
>>140787559
How many yards? 1000?
>>140787658
>>140787559
sad
Even though Ranko isn't a vampire, I had a dream where she was biting me on the neck like a vampire. Don't know if she was turned into one, but it was kinda...nice.
>>140787721
Terrifying
>>140787864
>>140787902
Still pretty bad
no bullying the sachikp
>>140787859
Sounds nice.

The vampire flower was better.

>>140786072
>Can I borrow Basa next?
Don't worry, Basa supports multiplayer.
Huh, I can actually feel some competition in this Deresute event.
What gives.
Don't gachas usually come with an increased chance for the new cards?
>>140782141
I missed the Tachibana lewding last thread and I'm just a little bit upset.
>>140787859
I dreamt that Ranran asked me out on a date. Then I woke up and felt depressed all day long. The spaghetti spillage was so cute, too.

Kaede can suck me and lick up the excessbloodwith that tongue of hers.
>>140788651
Don't want to disappoint Minami-sama.
>>140788660
In SS, yes. In CG, it's a bit more complicated than that.
>>140788651
Nips are on vacation, more time to play.
Also, the cards this time are really fucking cool.
>>140788651
I have 8 SSR and only 1 of them was the one featured in the gacha.It was Mika and I wanted Nana
>>140789075
>It was Mika and I wanted Nana
It was the opposite for me. Dammit Chihiro.
>>140782476
That ain't me, though. That's just another guy in the dept.
>>140782476
Woman, I get kissed by whoever wants to kiss me.
Ain't my problem.
Destined to fight.

>>140789991
What?
>yfw a fucking tutorial deck has better cards than me
>>140789414
It ain't mestarts playing.
Uh oh.
Regret setting in.
Urge to purchase jewels rising.
I still want a Natsuki to hang out with Takumi.
>>140789991
>>140790240
So anyone understand this system? All I know is we have to pick a team of 5 girls, can't choose which girls, and we level them up/teach them skills.
Huh, some skill lines are voiced whereas others aren't. Wonder what's the deciding factor for those.
>>140791197
You actually play with those on? I tried once and found it incredibly distracting.
>>140791197
Are there any voiced girls who have unvoiced skill lines?
So I'm going through the story.
I don't speak nip, but did Chihaya just ask me who I am and did she just introduce herself to me? Did we just change Ps?
>>140791368
Story in what game?
>>140791197
>>140791280
>>140791315
There's voiced skill lines? What's the setting to turn those on?
>>140791197
If I had to guess they did it for whoever was initially released and then stopped when they realized most people weren't using them.
>>140791412
ML. You unlock the first chapter if you hit lv2 for this new ULA event.
>>140791459
its the first chapter as in chapter 0 i didnt reach it yet though
Looks like they got rid of audition battles, too.
>sitting comfortably in T2
>still drowning in stamdrinks in gift box
Why do people complain about struggling to tier at least T5? Back when I was still playing pro I remember being able to easily break T4. If you're playing on master you literally just have to spend like 8~10 minutes every 4 hours or so and you'll easily get into T4~T3.
>>140791080
From what i know, you level each idol with fan mails and present, each idol gets a new skill every 10 levels. use the note item to add a new skill slot for an idol, give them another idol's skill with the CD item, and level up a skill using Kotori's new SR
>>140791368
The Next Prologue arc takes us back when we're still a new producer for 765Pro, obviously this means we're still getting to know the idols. Unlock new chapters for an idol after every 10 levels
Well, Miki woke up, asked me for some onigiri, then asked who I was. She seems ok with her new producer
>>140791424
The voice setting in Live settings -> Sounds. (Need to have cut-ins on first.)
>>140791447
No, they're still there. In fact, I haven't found any voiced cards with unvoiced skills. (Not counting Ns because they don't have skills.) Going to check properly now.
>>140791762
So can we do any ULA battles right now or do we have to wait for it to finish preparing to do anything besides leveling them up to 11?
>>140791758
A lot of people are trying to get through without spending stam drinks, I'm guessing. For most events, that works if you're efficient. But looks like it won't work this time.
(Then again, it's not like there's any real point to hoarding stam drinks if you're not going to actually spend them when you need to.)
https://twitter.com/cindere_border/status/726787437159043072
Thanks Minamin, your T5 is higher than T4 of all previous events, including longer ones
So you can get 50 letters/presents through live battle drawings, so that's 50 levels max.
Any other ways to get them other than daily logins?
>>140791853
There's seems to be something related to the ULA coming in 14 days so i'd took this chance to power up as many idols as you can with the letters and present you get from the live battles.
>>140792017
Event lottery maybe. Daily logins now gives out some kind of jewels. I wonder what they're for.
All the battles are stronger now too. Normal battles are now 168k hp and the highest level special battle is 610k hp.
>>140791987
Are Minamifags really this autistic?
You need all unit members to be at least level 10 to qualify for the ULA preliminaries in two weeks, which is a two day event.
You do normal work for battles, which follow a format similar to the BMD mini-events now. After unlocking an idol's skill through leveling, that can be used when the meter is full to level that skill.
Though I don't seem to have cards with latent skills to pass on with the CD. Is that different from the level-based skills?
>>140792320
Minami isn't my favorite but I decided to try and T2 this event just to unload my stamina pots.
I'm not sure if that's going to happen anymore though.
>>140791987
>>140792320
Well they also started to give out a daily +30 stam pot for this event, so that's something.
>>140792308
All 3 girls get the same amount of fans now when you win a battle, instead of the center girl getting a bonus.
Side note, I am really ok with picking my own buffs instead of relying on random chance.
>>140792563
That can't account for this level of difference.
>>140792563
except it's still even hard with/without it.
>>140792496
Yeah I'm thinking using stamina balls every day might not be enough
>>140792404
>all unit members to be at least level 10
Just the unit that includes the idol you choose or ALL the units?
>>140791987
It's a Minami+Aiko event
>>140792816
except Aiko is the point rewards. So anything past 15k points shouldn't be too bad but it is
It's probably the applause bump to 50 from the last groove. It's much more "rewarding" in terms of points given, whereas previous grooves was more of a "how many times you played the groove" thing.aka git gud
>>140792926
>git gud
I'm already getting 50+ app and S rank the event song it's still hard since people
>>140792926
Applause change was since the last groove. Didn't change anything.
Everyone loves and lusts for Minami.
>>140792794
Just the five members is enough, though apparently it's better to have multiple units qualify.
Then I'm wondering how easy it would be to get 500 of the items. And the individual idols go up to 100...
>Are you lost?
>Where are your mom and dad?
Sorry, Konomi. I had to pick that just by principle.
Maybe it's becauseMinami is popular.
Imagine if Minami's card was lewd it would be a bloodbath
>>140793661
I'm mostly into this event because I like the theme. Then again I was also into Tulip for the same reason so what do I know.
>~$30 to buy a 10-roll
Holy fuck.
>>140793823
Welcome to every mobage.
>>140793932
>>140793823
CG is a lot worse.
>>140794007
Most of the popular mobages are around 30~40 USD for 10/10+1 roll aren't they?
>>140793823
>$44 for a 10 roll in sheepfuckerland
>>140793932
I knew it would be a bit steep, but I didn't expect a cliff. The only way I could even imagine justifying spending any money would have to be settling to allot the funds towards daily-roll only.
>>140794750
Japanese mobage culture is weird to westerners so of course it seems steep.
>choosing skills just to hear the idols' voices
People are gonna look at the battle log and say "What the fuck is this guy doing?"
what do i do now once i have full SSR teams of each type
>>140795209
Sudoku
>>140795049
Microtransactions are incredibly successful in the US though. Things like Candy Crush and Clash of Clans are always on the top grossing charts of the Google Play store.
>>140795341
Jap gacha systems work differently compared to western microtransactions though.
>>140795209
Buy me enough SSRs to fill the rest of my teams.
>>140795514
i dont have any extra SSRs though
>>140795209
Full SSR support teams of all three types.
>>140795209
Get full SSR teams for vocal, dance, and visual for each type.
>>140795209
20-star SSR. You know you want it.
Iku a CUTE!
>>140796529
PS. Me on the left
>>140795472
Jap gachas force you to pull down your pants and piss in front of them.
Western microtransactions drug you up until you pee in your pants while you remain unaware.
>>140796597
Please contain your cock.

FUck Anzu
>>140797080
I remember trying to FC Anzu no Uta on master, my 3rd try was a 1 nice choke and it took me another 30 or so half hearted tries on top of that to FC it.
Anzu is a little shit but that's all in the past now.
>>140797304
>Anzu no Uta Clear rank S

>>140791447
There are 143 voiced cards in SS right now that have skills, and each card has three voiced lines from which one is randomly chosen at skill activation.
Here's a dump of the said lines. https://a.pomf.cat/xqlvoa.rar Extract and search for card ID to find the relevant lines. (Card IDs can probably be found in the asset dumps or at starlight.kirara.ca)
ie. There are no voiced cards with unvoiced skills.
>>140798694
Nice.
