Woah, these are really helpeful! I got the feeling I will be using it often when I get my Idolm@sterc copy. Thank you for your hard work!
I have a tiny question about the gameplay ; I know at some point in the game you get to invite two of Ryuugu Komachi's idols for a quintet live, and there are possibilities to get ditched by them. I already know I have to invite Ritusko so I can unlock Ryuugu Komachi's outfit, but who is the other one I should choose? I wanted to invite Azusa simply because she is one of my favorite, but then I remembered about her terrible sense of direction and thought it wasn't a good idea. So, is there really a better choice (like Iori or Ami) or are the possibilities of getting ditched are just random?
On that topic, I have another question that may sounds silly ; to do this quintet live, one of your released song has to be one of the song that can be performed in quintet, right? Or do you have the possibility to choose one when you decide to do the concert?

Does not matter at all. Character traits aren't a factor in this game, unlike iM@S1 where we had downwards spirals, end of the week regenerating tension and happy go lucky members.
Gameplay wise the first time you invite an idol they will pretty much always appear for the encore. Afterwards it depends on how well you get along with the individual idol and how often you invited an idol for quintets. For producable idols this reflects on how often you used them in units, commus etc.
Although you don't actually need to invite any of the RK unit members, there's an achievement associated with inviting all of those.

Quintet performances are mere encore songs and encores don't affect anything gameplay wise. For regular encores the game allows you to select any song you've produced with your current unit but for quintet ones you're allowed to select any song that's compatible for quintet use.
Because encores happen after the actual scoring game, it's pretty much pointless wasting too much time on deciding on who you want to use. Just leave that for S4U, just go with RK members first and afterwards you could pick who you want.

I see.
I had pretty much guessed it wouldn't be that important, but I wanted to make sure. Thank you for the answers!

So I ran into something weird last night. I'm working on my 8th play through and this is the first time I've seen this happen.
I thought Super Breaks worked similar to normal Breaks, where you could only get it around 10 weeks after a song had been out, but it just made your song jump up higher on the chart than a normal Break. I had been doing auditions/lives every single week with Kyun! Vampire Girl since choosing it. I had a pretty decent score (over 50k) and I had good fan awareness in several places on the map. The week that Kyun! Vampire Girl debuted on the charts... BAM! I got a Super Break and it debuted at #2 on the chart with an insane amount of sales. The Super Break status made it easily go to #1 the next week. Now that it is done gaining sales, the #2 on DoTop TV isn't even close.
How common is it to get a Super Break on the very first week something is released? Also, is it possible to debut at #1, or do you always start at #2 at the highest?

Actually, you can only get super breaks at sales week 1 and it doubles the sales coefficient iirc. I'm not sure if it's possible to get 1st spot in week 1 even with doubled sales, it's been months since I last played this game so I don't recall the approximate numbers one gets and the amount of sales the current #1 has.
--- Quote from: BT2 on April 18, 2011, 08:30:52 pm ---For reference:
Do a Fes to get a Break, obtainable at earliest on 6th week of sales, or 10 weeks since selecting the song. Only works on latest song, this allows your latest song to sell for 4 weeks again.
Do a Live to get a Keep, works only on your latest song and only keeps your sales coefficient from dropping too much, useless after a few weeks.
Do an Audition to get a Revival, only possible if the song you're producing isn't your latest. Basically a break for anything other than your latest song.
Do S. Lives to get a Super Break: Only obtainable by doing special lives and before the sales actually starts; the 4 weeks gap between selecting and selling. Greatly increases sales coefficient for the initial 4 weeks.
It should be noted that special lives aren't the same as regular ones and won't trigger keeps.
It's unknown whether national auditions trigger revives.
