idol culture is vile and exploitative in real life and idolmaster only serves to promote it as a good thing, please think about that next time you consider supporting the series by buying the games
thank you
>>125312791
I want to bully the Sachi withbuttpats
>>125312808
I don't give a fuck about idol culture irl to be honest
>>125312808
But iM@S idols aren't IRL idols.
>>125312808
I'll never get over the fact thatthe thumbnail looks like he's holding a boombox to his head.
>>125312808
I know this is bait, but I've never once given a shit about the real idol industry in the 4 years I've been into Idolmaster and consequently other 2D idol franchises.
>>125312808
>please think about that next time you consider supporting the series by buying the games
I've thought about it and you're right. I'll buy two copies.
>>125312471
>>125312656
>>125312808
Idolm@ster actually antagonizes the exploitative system you speak of. See Kuroi and Mishiro being the big bads while the honest, father-figure Producer who pays attention and takes care of his idols is the hero.
The CG game on the other hand...
>>125312808
>caring about 3D
lmfao dude
>>125313110
Mishiro was weird, she was antagonistic but didn't really feel evil. Cold and a bit cruel, yes, but in a businesslike manner rather than being cartoonishly evil like Kuroi. And then we had TakeP acknowledging that her methods weren't completely wrong in the final episode.
>Got 500jewels
Why? Also new update is ready
Keep calm and replace Asuka's copy of Faust with Arthur Schopenhauer's publications.
>>125312808
Yeah, and I feel bad playing as a terrorist in Counter-Strike. Not.
I'll buy all of the copies of the games and make you eat broccoli as further punishment.
>>125313110
Mishiro did nothing wrong, Project Krone was a voluntary success. Call Arisu by her given name as many times as you want, you'll never get on Touma's level.
SSR Sachiko.
idolmaster is sexy and awesome in the games and these threads only serve to promote it as a good thing, please think about that next time you consider supporting these threads by sexualizing the idols
thank you

Gacha ends on the 21st.
Eve SSR incoming nerds.
>>125313472
>SSR Sachiko
This is what I've been saving up for
Sachi has a solo?
>No Sachiko belly
Saving my jewels
>>125313645
And I'll only get the R as usual.
FUCK
I THOUGHT SACHIKO WOULD BE THE EVENT
Sachiko looks cute what are the odds of me getting one?
>>125313356
Well shit. I just blew all me jewels trying to get SSR Anya.
Neat, got Rena on the new daily.
>Sachiko
Looks like I'm waiting until the next gacha.
>>125313708
Yes.
Also, god damn Rena's R+ is hideous, especially when her R is boner city.
TOKIMEKI TIEM
Awesome, Sachiko is the new and increased rate SSR this time. Guess I'll be saving my Stars!
But having that Hot Action Cop would be pretty nice.
>>125313472
All dem gyarus.
Why didn't they add the calls in Tokimeki? What the hell? Them doing the letter signs is so out of place.
>>125313860
It makes me think of Rio (not ML Rio, gambling Rio), who pulls off the look a lot better.
Fuck. Only got 1 SR Miho.
>>125314045
Jesus fuck, what are you doing?
>>125314052
Do your own calls, dammit; you're a part of the audience since you're not an idol on stage, yes?
Just 10 rolled. Didn't get Sachi, but managed to get Sanae and Takumi at least. Fuck Haruna, though. What a waste of an SR.
>>125314135
Whoops. Lost transparency when I fixed the orientation. My bad.
>>125313003
Yo yo yo
>>125314150
Why have them move their own mouths though? It actually looks retarded.
Tokimeki Master is bullshit.
Literally impossible to mash the notes fast enough with thumbs.

>>125314135
Oh, fuck, I want to photoshop this so bad, but I want some fucking sleep more.
Quick, someone bully Sachiko!
>>125314334
Git gud; finger it.
>>125313952
And then Arisu for some reason.
>>125314349
I've got it now, I was just being retarded.
I put the rest here. http://imgur.com/a/f3ETV
>>125314334
You need to have superhuman agility to FC all songs in this game with thumbs. It's only going to get worse from here onwards.
>no one posting rolls
I don't see Tokimeki. What are you guys talking about?
>>125314523
just a shitty R
>>125314523
It is a shitty gacha.
>>125314523
Most people here just want to bully Sachiko, but probably won't bother spending jewels for her.
>>125314523
You want rolls? There. >>125309440 There's your damn rolls, and they're already being eaten by someone else. Be happy, fucker.
>>125314589
You have to do the commu first anon
That fucking Chihiro cockblock
>>125314589
Do your commus.
>>125314589
Are you brain dead? Commu first. Song once you finish. This is the case with every single CM song.
And here's a comic.
I rolled for Sanae and got her.
I'm happy.
>>125314334
Jesus, I thought you were exaggerating. What the fuck.
>tfw roll for sachi
>tfw my game freezes
>lost jewels
never rollin gagain
Why the fuck is Arisu in the commu but not Rina?
>Foreign idols that suit a mochi-pounding image
Lewd.
Also surprised that there are 9 foreign idols.
>>125314589
Level requirement maybe? Or havent unlocked all the songs yet?
Yup not expecting much from the choreo but they had to fuck up the calls. On the other hand the note rain in master is verybenjoyable just like my waifu Mika.
>>125313645
>idols I don't give a shit about

>>125314880
>Yup not expecting much from the choreo but they had to fuck up the calls.
I don't know why you guys expected it when the original single didn't have those. All these are based on the original tracks. Mika isn't going to get a special exception.
Why were y'all expecting calls? Unless the songs already had them like Anzu no Uta or Romantic Now, the songs will appear from the CD versions.
>Tokimeki
Holy fuck, what is this disgusting continuous note vomit at the end? I can't clear this and I have fucking Guard.
>Only one week till next gacha
We getting xmas themed cards next week, save your jewels boys, sachiko isn't limited anyway.
>>125314927
Two Renas!?
>>125315006
Guard is probably not activating when you need it.
>>125314390
> for some reason
To get Mika to talk about love, apparently.
anyone want to add me
>resisted rolling for bakane
>now we get fucking Sachiko SSR
goddammit they're really making this difficult for me
>All these niggers complaining about the calls in TOKIMEKI
How the hell did you think DookyP's felt when they omitted AI O KOMETTE ZUTTO UTAU YO in the OFA cut of S(mile)ING? Or when it turns out they used the same cut for SS?
Well, at least the anime brought it back in the most ballin' way possible.

I love it when the puchis doff their hats.
Phats Yukiho and Yuriko figures have been delayed till next year.
Whoa, 2nd 10 pull in a row with SSR.
I can accept this.
>>125315568
Fucking yes
>>125315568
What is it with iM@S figures and constant delays?
>>125315389
Sorry, I'm retarded. I didn't realize it's already announced in JST.
Anyway, event girls are Yui and Haruna.

This breaks the Jewelleries pattern.
>>125315439
I enjoy the alternating parts but the rapid fire single notes may not even be possible for me with thumbs. I'm already risking carpel tunnel with this game.
Gems well fucking spent. I can't contain my happiness.
>>125315647
You mean what is it with figures in general getting delayed.
>>125315657
Hell yeah
>>125315636
Yeah im glad they got delayed, moneys tight this month, a shame yukiho doesn't release in time for her birthday but moneys more important to me.
>>125315714
Ooh ah betcha are
Daily reminder that for every anon in this thread posting their Sachi rolls,
10 other anons are crying in despair and just aren't posting their rolls.
>>125315739
i hope yui is ranking
I can confirm the note barrage is gay as hell, if it wasn't clear yet.
>everything's going fine
>fuck one up slightly

I barely made it on first try, at least.

So did they ever confirm it's a Motorola problem?
Ok, here we go gacha-kun
Please be god

>>125315613
>>125315715
Dammit Nono, look at the camera.
Post bad rolls so I don't get tricked by all these good rolls.
>>125315974
Good pull.
>>125315439
This. First one was annoying but not alarming. Second time was irritating. 3+ was plain frustration.
>>125315939
It bugged in the infinite loading, fuck
>>125315439
That's exactly the problem, it just goes on forever. It helps that note barrages are the worst thing for me, I don't even half a quarter as much problem with slides as I do those. I can't even healer cheese it because I can't hit enough notes to heal.
>>125315657
Did we get those little soundbites for Nation Blue and Ponkotsu Android? Because I only remember seeing them for Orange Sapphire.
>>125315974
Plvl 113 and I've never seen an SR in local. I refuse to believe they exist.
>>125315714
Thumbs person here I managed to complete the first series of repeating notes. But my hands get number on the suceeding notes. Maybe ill switch to alternating thumbs when i do it. It looks good on my mind. But im waiting if i can execute it. Finally a passion song worth skipping on medleys like anzu no uta and legne
>>125316102
rip
>>125316121
Files exist for Nation Blue, but I don't remember seeing them used before Orange Sapphire.

>>125316142
I've gotten Karen and Yukimi's SRs from local. It does happen but I'm sure it's even rarer than SSR draw rates.

The outfit isn't even sexy, not worth the gems or money bub.
>>125316223
*for Ponkotsu Android
I should just sleep. Brain isn't functioning properly.
Going to save for Santa kaede
>All these people fearmongering about the Note Ladders.
Well that wasn't hard at all. Hard to FC? Probably. But hard to clear? Not at all. This isn't even "Barely able to clear" tier. This is just "Have a few dents on your HP" tier.
>>125316436
Level 100 account has 2 of every event card except Syoko. Anyone want to trade for SSR Sachi?
I can handle the regular note spam, it's the one single line of notes that need a turbo button to actually get all of them that fucks me over. This is going to need a full team of guards.
>>125316001
>>125316493
Nah nigga, it's not the ladders that kill. It's the repeated fucking swarm at the end that happens three god damn times because the outro is so long.
>>125316589
>Anybody want to trade this account full of freebies for an account with one extreme rarity?
>>125316504

Only saving for Karen SSR.
A new trophy for the collection. Is it a key? I can’t make out what the kanji they’re using is due to how many strokes are in it.
>>125316362
But muh good stats Sachiko
I use thumbs and I can do the note vomit parts. It's the fucking 10 taps in a row and the double taps that are wrecking me.
Shiiit can't decide if I want to use my jewels on an attempt at THE CUTEST or keep saving...
>>125316746
Motherfucker. How much have you spent on this game?
>>125316648
>getting a literal piece of shit
I'm so sorry.
My thumbs literally stopped moving
>>125316794
Either way you won't get anything you want.
>>125316654
That's what I meant.
I call those note ladders. Probably using the terminologies wrong here, but thats how I always referred to note vomit swarms.
It's not like they're arranged in an erratic way. There is a certain rhythm to them. As long as you maintain your beat, there isn't really any problems to them. Theres enough time for you to move around as well.
It's nowhere near as unforgiving as that one part in the Master+ of Nagareboshi Kiseki.
>Those center tap bursts near the end
10/10 would mash again
Yuki, I-
>>125316946
>not even a Sanae
Rip
>>125316927
I wonder if that's how fast i need to finger to pleasure Mika.
I love Asuka
>>125317059
It's not about speed as much as it's about technique.
>>125316946
Hey at least you got 2 dupes
I only got one.
>>125316946
Nice Nino!
>>125317168
I'm sure you would know you virgin. Have you even kissed your mom?
I hate to contribute to the bitching but even on my heal/guard team, I fail on the very last note.
>>125316905
I can't do those note swarms in anything. It's not the rhythm I can't do, I just cannot comprehend them all, and yes I'm on a high speed. There's just so much happening that I can't respond it to right. In any song like that. So the beginning fucks me over, I can barely recover enough to get to the end, and then the ending murders me because it just keeps fucking coming. And I have a level 7 guard and 2 healers. I finally just paid money to finish the damn thing since you get the same amount back from clearing it. I have less problems with Anzu no Uta and Lenge than this bullshit.
>>125317223
No, but I've kissed yours.
I just hit 2500 jewels. H-here I go.
>>125317372
Sachiko's waiting anon.
>>125317338
got em
Mika was always the unofficial 15th Cinderella Project Girl and technically the 5th Main Passion even in the anime. So we kind of saw TOKIMEKI Escalate coming.
From this point on, it's anyone's game though. I'm going out on a limb and guess that we probably have Koi Kaze and Meruhen debut coming up next.
>>125317338
And so have I.
So we're finally getting the second SS-original song, huh.
Great another new songs that has 1 middle part and then an ending with no voice repeated 30 times just to artificially increase the length of the song
This is stupid
>>125316504
You are all I'm waiting for, Keade. I'm ready for you.
>>125317640
Oh, yeah, Snow Wings was that.
Fuck, is it going to be a Yui and Haruna duet?
![rec10.mp4_snapshot_01.37_[2015.12.14_01.56.00].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/GqhKzrc.jpg "rec10.mp4_snapshot_01.37_[2015.12.14_01.56.00].jpg")
A cute.
HAHAHA 27* MY ASS WHAT THE FUCK.
Trancing Pulse is way easier than this, damn it Mika. Akane couldn't save me.
>>125317668
TWO new Sanaes?
>>125317521
>Meruhen debut
You know, after TOKIMEKI, I'm honestly terrified to see what kind of mapping Meruhen will get.
>>125317521
If you're as desperate to look for patterns as I am with this game that would make the most sense since they were both of the jewelry ranking SRs along with Mika but who knows with this game. We might be getting score matches next.
>>125316504
My jewels are ready to explode.
>all these people complaining about the note burst
I cleared it on my first try without guards/heals.I didn't know you were this bad at rhythm games, /@/.
>>125317873
Some of us were never very good at turbo buttoning manually.
>>125317680
No fucking joke. That outro is bullshit levels of long and unnecessary.
>>125317721
Except she's cool.
>>125317873
fuck off anzu
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm27792997
To tide you over until you finish Tokimeki yourself.
>>125315657
>Haruna
YES
Hope she's the ranking reward instead of the point one.
>reading all these posts about how hard it is to even pass
>assume you guys are just whining and it really isn't as hard as it seems again
>I'm right
I could understand complaining about not FCing it, but just passing it shouldn't be that hard. I use thumbs too, the single note spam isn't bad either, although the doubles that come right after kept throwing me off.
SSRs aside, the game giving priority to the Cinderella Project CMs was a pattern that nobody can deny though. And considering that Cinderella Project only had 4 Passions, Mika considering her rather significant role in the anime more or less made her fit in as the Project's 5th Passion.
From this point on though, I can't really say anymore. I just threw up Kaede and Nana as guesses considering that they had explicitly shown performances of their CM songs in the anime.
>>125317873
Not every still has teenage reflexes,sonny.
>>125318013
She will most probably be the points reward, because she has the second announcement.
>>125318116
But who would work hard for candy Miki?
>>125318181
WUG fans?
>>125318181
I'd work harder for her than fucking Haruna, that's for sure
>>125318181
I would, I love me some candy Miki.
Fingering Miki.
>>125318181
I would for candy miki midriff.
>>125318318
B-but you wouldn't know how! W-we're all virgin nerds here, r-right?
>>125318021
I've never complained about the 28 star songs but the single note repeats are murderous for me. I don't know what else to say aside from that.
Fuck Tokimeki
Artificial difficulty bullshit. 6 times, 6 times does the fucking outro repeat, what the fuck
>>125318493
Come here and find out, girl.
>>125318021
I use thumbs too, maybe bursts just aren't for finger players?I want to believe that /@/ isn't only good for waifu posting.
>>125318639
>>125318678
>maybe bursts just aren't for finger players
Nah, I'm thumbs and I can't do bursts worth a damn.
>>125318508
Don't know how much this'll help, but what I did for the singles is basically stiffen and lock up my hand and kind of just shake it like I've got super advanced parkinsons or some shit. No idea how else to explain it.
>All these babby whining
Come on /@/, I knew you weren't exactly gud, but I never knew you folks sucked this bad.
when is 2nd Side
>Namco releasing Sachiko right when I need money the most
$230 here, could've been worse, right?
>>125318905
dam how much have you spent on the game?

It's interesting to see an artistic representation of our resident bellyslapper.

>Shitchiko

But chihiro still gave me a Nutsky anyway.
We should stop worshiping idols because they are ruining our lives especially via money.
I can't stop lovin Sanae!
>>125318678
I use fingers.
TOKIMEKI Master isn't hard at all.
Difficult to FC? Definitely, these notes are sanic level fast and a tap late by half a second is already too late. So you can't really afford to mess up your beat.
But otherwise, it's nowhere near as hard as the other people here are making it out to be. I clear it with no guards or healers just fine. I average around 5-10 misses per run though but I think I can eliminate those errors once I finally get used to the song.

Yes. Especially when you successfully de-smug her and get her to show her vulnerable side.
