REFLEC BEAT plus / + (iOS)

So is the game crashing for anyone sometimes when you try to go to the Customize screen?

Customize screen works fine for me.

Also, I'm glad to see that the default songs are "actual" Bemani songs, unlike what they did with jukebeat where there's only video game music.

MUSIC PACK 26 now out!

Ignition Break - NAOKI
TAKE THE FUN - Anemo=Aspel by MLREC.
Express Emotion - Redalice fea. Shiori
万物快楽理論 - あさき

<3!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Indeed. Jubeat plus also did the same.

Finally, I've been waiting for this one for months.

---

haha I've been waiting for Euro-Romance, TITANS RETURN, VOLTEXES and the other beatmania IIDX bosses (The Sampling Paradise, and Shakunetsu Beach side Bunny to be specific)

**forgets to back up high scores on iOS update**

Hoo boy, it's going to be a long, long, long battle.

Great to have 万物快楽理論 and Ignition Break in Reflec Beat Plus now. Love those songs.
I too am waiting patiently for the IIDX boss songs. Hopefully they should be released soon.

I'm so glad this finally got to the international stores. The game is really fun...I'm so gonna need lots of iTunes credit to get DLC ;~; -secretly hopes REFLEC BEAT will come to arcades but it will never happen-

On another note, I guess a REFLEC BEAT question in general, are there any tips on hitting the green notes? I can't even see them half the time so they just fly right past me..I only see them when they're isolated-ish (like most of the time in Wuv U medium)

The 2TOP/3TOP notes bug the hell out of me.

Looking ahead before they completely come down helps a lot, but I still miss about half of them on HARD difficulty.

Once you've played a song two or three times, and know the rhythm, you can assume that any time you expect to press a note, but there isn't a puck anywhere near your line, it'll be a 2TOP note. For most songs (and the really intricate songs, while you're learning them) you can just hit both the 2TOP markers any time you anticipate a note that doesn't show up near the line.

Something I just found out is that putting the pucks on the smallest size helps with seeing the entire screen and all your pucks (since I have a problem with them crowding the screen as well).
I suppose practice is the only way to really get the hang of it.

---

Can you change the size of the markers on iPad? I don't see an option for that.

---

No, it's only on the iPhone version for now.

Yeah they are annoying. On HARD I always ready my ring and pinky fingers towards the 3 tops whilst the other three are focused on the standard objects. It's like DDR where you play on a handicap where one of the panels on the screen are lower than the rest of the lanes. It throws you off.

---

I think the best way to get good at hitting the 2 and 3TOPs is play the game repeatedly to gain skill at performing the actions the game asks of you.

Memorization is the key. Alternatively...

"Follow Me"

My trick is knowing the song beforehand. If I heard the song before I can predict when will the 3TOP object come.

That is one, the second is just play the hell out of harder songs, but they're not yet available so :v

I played 10s and 10+s (and memorized the 3TOPs) but then sight reading 9 and lower becomes easier.

Also, even though the standard objects are all over the place, 3TOP/2TOPs are fixed. Always at that time, at that certain 3TOP. So you might memorize that :p (unless you use RAN/S-RAN)

---

Also for those people who are just starting on Reflec Beat+, Sakura Reflection is more of a hard 9 than a 10.

Once Konami releases a new songpack with a new level 10, you'll get what I mean.
