Song selection

When clicking on the Live button on the main menu, you'll be taken to the song selection screen.

On the top side of the screen, you'll find the different difficulties. SIF2 has a total of 502 songs, which all of them are available in the Normal, Hard and Expert Difficulties. Master comes in at 247 songs, with no Nijigasaki or Hasunosora songs.

On the left side, you'll be able to filter the songs by group, with the top green button being all of the songs, and the bottom gray one to filter for others, mainly School Idol Musical.

The two buttons on the bottom are Recommended lists and Random song. Recommended lists work like playlists, e.g. songs from the TV anime or from the live concerts.

Moving to the right side, on top you will find a filter button, where you'll be able to search by attribute, group, subunits... The button next to it is the sorting button, where you'll be able to sort by release date, sort alphabetically and sort by song level. Next to it, you'll be able to choose Ascending or Descending.

If we move to the right, it will show you the percentage of users that cleared the songs. Below that, you'll have the option to view the song leaderboard, view the song goals and view information about the song.

Finally, on the bottom it shows you some stats about your plays on the song, and two buttons: gray one is Rehearsal mode, where you'll be able to play the song without spending LP, but without gaining any score or drops either. The button next to it is the Play button.

Guest selection

When you click the Play button, you'll be able to choose a guest, which will help you reach a higher score by using the guest member's center skill.

Team formation

Each song has one of three attributes: Smile (Red), Cool (Blue) or Pure (Green). If you match your cards with the attribute of the song, displayed normally next to the title, you will get a bonus score with each tap. If you match the attribute and group of the song, you'll get even more bonus score.

The center member will have center skills, which will activate for all members who meet the conditions.

SIF has an automatic team building option, where you can specify group, attribute, etc... It will automatically put all the highest stats cards with the specified conditions.

The white button on the bottom next to the Start button allows you to adjust the LP you use. If you use more LP, it will drop more rewards.

The Live show

When heading for a live show, there’s a few things you might wanna know:

• There’s 4(+1) types of notes:

• Normal notes, which are just a single tap

• Hold notes, when the first circle comes in, you tap and hold until the end of the trail reaches your idol

• Double notes, which are connected with a white line between them. Tap them both at the same time

• Star notes, that are circles with a star inside them. These are the same as normal notes, but with more HP damage

• Event notes, as the name suggests, they’re only found while an event is going on. They have a relevant image of the event inside them, and hitting them will give you a token for the event song

• You have a set amount of HP, which will deplete if you fail notes. All of them reduce it by 1 if it’s “bad”, or 2 if you miss it, except for star notes, which will reduce 2-4 of HP respectively

Notes will approach to your members from the top center. You'll have to tap the note when its circle reaches your member. The better your timing, the more score you get!

If you miss too many notes, your HP will drop to 0, and the live will end. Be careful!

Hitting a GREAT or higher will add to your combo. The higher your combo is, the more score you'll get.

Each member has its own skill, and if conditions are met while playing, it will be activated. Skills include recovering LP and increasing the score. Try to activate as many as possible!
