Reminder that this Platinum Stars stream starts in a little under 8 hours from now.
>>147028126
Obviously no chance of TP, but if there isn't at least Nao, it's going to be strange.
I'm not sure I even want Karen with others. I have problems.

Karen without Nao isn't THAT strange. Karen got to be with Kanade for Monochrome Lily in mobamasu, where Kanade took her into a private room and kissed her all over with healing, massaging kisses.
>>147028821
>Karen got to be with Kanade for Monochrome Lily in mobamasu
That's just one of those hundreds of units in the game. It's a completely different thing when it's a unit with a song and voiced commus.
The Platinum Stars stream is in eight hours, right?
>>147028947
True, but it's still a unit that's gotten a few artists' attention, nonetheless. It may not be a lot in general, but it's a lot more than those hundreds of other units, a majority of them having zilch.
Yukiho is all alone!
>>147029071
Good.
MIO HONDA TIME!
https://twitter.com/playasia/status/747991173059358720;_;
>>147028947
I don't even think Kanade had a voice anyway when that event was taking place. I mean, her CD didn't come out until a year ago.
>>147028947
There's only so much that can be done for songs when there are so many desired combos but only so few recording opportunities. None more different than how ML fans are wanting a Best Friends Trio song and other dead duet dreams that may never happen.
At least Karen and Kanade had a lengthy personal interaction for Kanade's CM commu in SS.
>>147029065
I was talking about actual character interactions.
One of the best parts about Karen interacting with others is how she meshes well with Nao and Rin. But let's see how this goes. Even a seemingly strange combination can work well.
>>147029348
Pretty sure they interacted recently for a good length of time. >>147029346
>>147028392
She really is fucking adorable, though. I also got her SSR and Yuki's in a roll this CinFes.

>>147029469
I mean not as that unit, but yeah, I see your point.I guess I just want more of Karen gushing about how cute Nao is.
>>147029585
No.
Anya-chan
Minami
>>147029639
Adorable lovers.
Man I love Hamju's art.
>>147029348
Karen's whole deal is she gets along with everyone. She's kind, empathetic, funny and charismatic.
That's why she's the de facto leader of the most popular unit.
>>147029540
I was already fond of her from the original mobage, but I didn't know just how cute she could be until getting her SSR and watching her in MV mode.
>>147029739
You can honestly say that for a lot of the idols.
>>147029127
>>147029273
>tfw I sent them an email
Man I bet it's gonna happen now because I sent an email
>>147029739
She gets along with everyone, sure, but I like her the most with these two.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iod15oOynrA
>>147029841
It's all up to you, our Chosen One.
>>147029739
>the most popular unit.
According to who?
>>147029934
Pixiv, sales and popularity polls.
>>147030038
If you're not counting NG.
>>147029842
>>147030038
Oh look, a deluded TP fag.
And oh please, without Rin, TP would be nothing.
>>147029998
This is why trading will never be a thing.
>>147029842
Her and Nao are definitely fantastic but that's because Nao herself is also fantastic.
Rin is alright too I guess.
>>147029586
Karen has to set out on her own without Nao sometime.
I feel like the neat part about her is how much of a "girl" she is outside of gushing over Nao. Her initial hair-twirling sometimes bored but often carefree casual nature, almost like you could picture her blowing bubblegum (except she never does that, it's replaced with soda straw drinking), probably glancing at her nails as if she's wondering if her design really fits, being disgruntled with training and lessons, pretending to be disinterested in the fun idol things around her but sneaking a check when she thinks nobody's looking, trying too hard to act like she's fine when she has a spell but getting despondant and possibly resigned when she feels like her spell has wrecked something, and on that note she has a good deal of self-awareness and humility, maybe to the point of feeling not as confident as she deserves to feel about her place...I could go on. I love Karen too much, and I am sad that all these finer details about her character were missed out in the anime.
Kanade's whole deal is she gets along with everyone. She's kind, empathetic, funny and charismatic.
>>147030163
>>147030151
By that logic, Pink Check School should be also popular because Uzuki.
Rin is easily the most popular of the trio, but it's not like Karen and Nao can't hold their own.
>>147030163
Why not? If you trade same rarity for same rarity, rerollers cant do shit
>>147030151
>And oh please, without Rin, TP would be nothing.
She's not even the leader though.
But I can't deny Rin's contribution to the unit. She's a wonderful member.
>>147030303
>Pink Check School should be also popular because Uzuki.
Well..
I feel like PP has the best balance in popularity between the members when it comes to NG's branch units.
>>147029998
I feel bad for Tsukako.
>6 Limited Mio Honda times
>4 Limited Rigs
>Not a single limited Dooky
>>147030330
Do we even know the leaders of the NG trio's units? I don't think they've actually been mentioned.
>>147030224
Maybe the reason her and Karen get along so well is because they're so similar?
>>147029998
> After that they had lots and lots of sex
Every time.
>>147030386
Only, PP is even less popular than PCS.
Not that it matters, though. They get quite a bit of official content regardless.Which I like very much.
AnonP's whole deal is he gets along with everyone. He's kind, empathetic, funny and charismatic.And has a wicked sense of humor
>>147030163
If trading in SS were made possible at the cost of having to pay to make a trade, you'd fucking bet your ass I would put money down for a fair trade.
So apparently GBF is being released on GREE, I wonder if we will get GREE crossovers eventually.
>>147027847
Idol Prison is a great thing.
>>147030553
Fuck off AnonP
>>147030513
Overall popularity aside, PP's got a pretty good thing going when they're together, they don't have an individual member boosting ahead of them and are basically on the same stage which is pretty charming if you ask me.
But it's not like they're the best unit in that regard.
>>147030614
Hot damn Takane.
>his waifu's base card is Normal, not Rare
>>147030607
I don't think that will make up for the hundreds of thousands of yen otaku are dropping to chase limiteds they really want.
>>147030407
I bet it's just Rin, Uzuki, and Mio respectively
>>147030553
Don't forget, he's also nihilistic and intelligent.
>>147030614
>GBF is being released on GREE
Yeah, I'd say that ML crossovers are happening if this is the caseAlso that artist's Takane is really hot
>>147030746
Is it now..
>>147029305
>>147029828
I know I like making cute idols cry, but if there was a line that crosses into outright abuse, you pretty much took off past it with a supersonic plane. What gives?
>>147030812
Rin is the center in Trancing Pulse so she's probably the leader.
Yeah
>>147030614
>>147030812
I don't have much interest in Granblue beyond CG crossovers, so I'm wondering if Cygames working with GREE would make a potential CG x ML crossover possible. I really liked the songs in 10th Live, and I'd love to see the actual characters interact.
>>147030746Remember the 2 cost alliance?
>>147030812
>Also that artist's Takane is really hot
I love his Takanes.
>>147030941
>so I'm wondering if Cygames working with GREE would make a potential CG x ML crossover possible.
That would be really interesting to see.
>>147030886
"Center" and "leader" aren't necessarily synonymous with each other, though.
>>147030886
Center has nothing to do with Leader.
I swear this has to be brought up everytime.
Leader is still probably Rin considering NG and how much she is pushed, though.
>>147030886
Yeah but Trancing Pulse was secondary stuff. Karen is referred to as the center in the actual mobage and extended material.
>>147031024
God damn Takane is attractive.
>>147031030
>>147031040
A lot of people who only know about idols because of iM@S seem to think they're the same thing for some reason.
>>147031054
>Karen is referred to as the center in the actual mobage and extended material.
Do you actually have a source for this?
I've gone through a lot of CG material that involve TP, including the Cool Summer Vacation CD, and I don't remember a leader being mentioned.
I could've missed it, though.
APK for 2.0.3 is up now if you want to update before the event starts.
>>147031024
That Takane is speaking funny
>>147030907
Please step on me Tokiko-sama!
Waking up early for Mayu!
>>147030941
>The first CG x ML crossover will be in a game unrelated to iM@s
Will Scamco allow it?
>>147031040
Calm your tits anon, I said "probably" because 90% of the time the leader of the unit is also the center. At least in idolmaster.
>>147030614
Seems that Mobage and GREE users are going to be able to play with each other, too. There won't be a segmented userbase.
>>147031169
>>147031248
Which disappoints me that they keep putting Minami at the very end during CP performances in favor of NG centers.
>>147031216
You mean like in GBF? Why not? It would be promoting both games that way.
>>147031248
>because 90% of the time the leader of the unit is also the center. At least in idolmaster.
Check out the units made for SS.
Check out the units in the anime. And then compare to those songs' centers.
>>147031168
The 765s were forced to learn gook and chink in order for their upcoming roles in the localizations
>>147031216
I mean, it's easy promotion for CG, SS, ML, and PS if they want to throw the 765s in there
What's not to like
I've tried to do some sort of database that serves to make idol teams easier. I'm not sure of some things and if it'll be easy enough to use, so for now I've only done Cutes and if it works well and no errors are found I'll do Cool/Passion
I ranked the idols in the priority on which you should put them on your team.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fqhQ7YNpAihM_aMsjJTRZzNkTAu59wX71szqoM-gamA/edit?usp=sharing
Just take into account that the leader should be either a 90% boost or a 30% all if you have none. And always an SSR over SR even if the SR has an attribute boost bigger for the team you're building.
If it's wrong I'll just add it as a database and remove the ranking system
Pic is an example of what I should pick for a Dance Cute team.
>>147031330
I imagine Scamco would want to do something big for the first time the CG and ML characters met, and not something they have no control over.
>>147031154
Just bug fixes I suppose?
With a new Emily card coming out soon, how does /@/ feel about weeb hips? They are quite developed for her age. She should be reminded of this fact frequently.
>>147031054
As shown by NG, the center can change.
>>147031568
I feel like they are pure and not ready to be touched.
>>147031606
If only the leader also changed, since Mio was clearly doing a bad job drawing a crowd.
>>147031395
If a GBF/ML collaboration happens and the OGs get to join in too, we would have a situation where OGs, CGs, MLs, and SMs are all playable in the same fucking game.
What a weird thing to think about.
>>147031568
I feel like turning her into a mother immediately.
>>147031691
Emily is very pure, which is part of her appeal. She also has a lewd body, which is another part of her appeal. The mixture of purity and lewdness is a potent one, known to drive even the most sane men to the brink of madness.
I rolled again after learning about how strong Uzuki's new center skill is, I mean I'm not complaining she's cute, but it wasn't a passion SSR or Uzuki

Mayu kabedon is cute

>>147032454

Miku just got married and Natsuki is with Takumi co.
Someone has to curb her thirst
>>147031852
Looking pretty JK Rose Queen there Karen.
So is the loading error only affecting certain people, or is it pretty much everyone?
I can't believe I listened to some of you guys. I feel dumb. I spent enough for 3 last-minute 10-rolls before the gacha reset and rolled with my dick, out of desperation and curiosity of /@/ superstition, and I still didn't get Rin.
3 months, baby. That'll be the fucking day. No more rolling, full monostary devotion to The Shiburin Church. I'm still not stopping, just taking a short break.
>>147031852
>>147032204
So what's jamming SS more? Mayu/Riina kabedon? Miki's tits? Anzu's new evolutionary form? Cute girl and her zombie sidekick?
>>147032204
I need that Karin and Yui.
>>147032498
Not him, but I can't take any risks. I woke up early and will sit here until the loading stops. I need Mayu.
>>147032204
Shit, that is definitely a Cool song.
>>147032487
What do you mean Miho didn't get a card? Only Mayu and Karen got cards. It's always this way. Only two girls get the cards. Others just appear on the cards of those two.
The waiting/loading game is killing me right now.
NG SSRS AND NOW THESE LIMITED? SCAMCOOO
>>147032415
Sachi
The song isn't that impressive.

Everyone relax and look at Mio.

You should have rolled while on the toilet.
Now that Yui's SSR is out, we will definitely be getting Sanae's for the passion jewelries event.
All my remaining gems will be dedicated to her.

They put 2 of my top 3 CGs in this event. Now if only the game will load.
>>147032603
Shit, I didn't say what I was thinking at all. I was thinking that I didn't see her in the same dress as them in a card.
>>147032650
Agreed, I'm not really feeling the event song.

Good to know, but this event's SRs suck no real benefit to me. I minus well let this bug work itself out on its own.
>>147032762
I never implied that was the case.
It's not like /@/ is some collective hivemind, we all have opinions here. I may think some things are great, when you may not, and vice versa.

>rolling with your dick.

Someone get caps of this outfit in game, it looks lewd.
I'm glad Karen has a new song. I'm glad Karin didn't trip over something.

Go back to consoling Trauma Tachibana, Fumika.
WHO STUCK IN ROADING HELL HERE?
>>147032835
As great as the unit is, Tulip is not that good, honestly. I mean it's definitely not a bad song but it's nothing impressive. Midnight was really fun though. This, however, sounds spectacular. I'd put it ahead of them both.
Who here is spending more for these SSRs after Cinderella fest
>>147032784
I just feel that the way the thread blew up is a bit of an overreaction, the song isn't bad, but it doesn't leave that much of an impression compared to Midnight.
It's time.

Here, here
So which is released first? Anzu or Yui? Or is it another limited one?
>>147032961
Being stuck with Miria would be heaven. Bet she's really soft, and smells nice.
I never knew I wanted RiinaxMayu until now.
Ah, finally.
>>147032961
Just got in
Did Yui's model get updated at all?
It's been one of the stranger looking ones to me and I've had it on my Passion team since Snow Wings.
>>147032961
IT'S A GOOD KIND OF HELL.
>>147032980
Dooky broke my Shekel reserves unfortunately.
>>147032980
>not me
>>147033037
Both are limitedm SSR's tend to come in packs of 2 or 3.
>>147033003
I feel that it does, personally, and I say this as someone who had almost every one of his favorite idols in Midnight. This is just a really well put together song.
Real talk, love destiny is a fantastic song
Someone post Yui's and Anzu's in game model.
>>147032980
I've rolled the last few limited releases, but this time I'll gladly pass.
Finally got around to opening the game instead of poking around the files. What's the issue?
>>147033069
fuck you!
>>147033176
I think the issue is fine now.
>>147032825
He won't abandon the Laikas but I'm sure of it too.
>>147033064
After 15 mins of bullshit waiting, it's almost time. I found another waiting screenscreen, and I'm in.
It's cute seeing a twitter user you're following suddenly explode in excitement over his/her idol getting something new.

I want to adopt an Anya.
I have no idea who this is, but alright onto the pile she goes
>>147033354
It's a tripfag.
