What starting screen do you use in Cytus II after finishing the story?

I chose "I Need Help" since it has the highest number of characters on it.

how to transfer cytus 2 data from ipad to iphone

so i reached level 64 neko on my ipad and wanted to sync it to my phone so i can play both, and i thought it was easy to just transfer it because the devices had the same apple id and gamecenter accounts. turns out i still can’t transfer it for some reason.

Practice Techchniques?

Hey yall!

I've been obsessed with rhythm games for decades, and I'm always eager to try out any innovation in the genere.

I've owned cytus 1 and cytus 2 since release, but only this week did it finally click for me. And my god am I hooked on this thing. It's captivated me on everything from the story, the WAY in which they tell the stories, the visual art, the atmospheric sounds and effects, the music selection and the thematically diverse curation of each character's music, and the charts! Some of the chaos charts are soooooooo good.

BUT.

Unfortunately some chaos charts are just too cluttered to comprehend the intended rhythm in the middle of a regular playthrough of the song.

I exclusively play with my thumbs on a Galaxy S23 Ultra, and it's pretty comfortable. I regularly score between 820-920k on charts 12 and below, even on most blind playthroughs. I have yet to really pick one song to master. The issues really start to come through in chaos 13+. And I haven't even looked at glitch charts yet... 🫠

For me, what makes it difficult to learn some of these convoluted sections is a combination of the added element of changes in the rate of the "BPM" of the charts, the fact that the notes don't scroll, but rather end up overlapping horrendously, as well as the madness that those tracking/follow notes can be. These two things will often result in an artificial smear of the upcoming notes, which the chart into a whack-a-mole game, and not a rhythm game.

Of course, Cytus is not the first to do this, like in some of their chaos charts. I have a lot of charts that absolutely love to play that have all sorts of weird BPM shifting madness. A pioneer of this, one of my all time favorite charts to play, is TSUHUIXAMUSH, by Family Farce for StapMania on PC. This thing is ancient, but it is truly masterpiece of a rhythm game chart. Another one that comes to mind is basically any of the Zig-Zag (Famous for "Pandemonium") tracks for In The Groove, or the MAX series for DDR. Now, playing those songs blind is very difficult for similar reasons some of the chaos charts are difficult in Cytus. It's like trying to read a sheet of music printed on a bilboard made out rubber in the middle of a tornado.

The difference is that on PC you can pull up the track in practice mode and simply read the chart like a sheet of music. Pause it. Slow it down. Or even have it auto-pay with the "tap-effects" on, so that you could listen to the intended rhythm in those sections.

With all of that said, I wonder what modes of practice you all have come across that may have helped in some of these tough chart sections? I would love to actually learn the pattern and not just mash my screen to get through some charts lmao.

Any and all resources and additional related advice is more than welcome!

Cheers!

Buying packs in Black Market

If I buy a pack (for example Memory Unit [A1]) and then want to buy the box it's in (in this case Box A), will it still cost the same to buy the entire box or will I get a discount because I already have one pack of the box?

Cloud save problem

Hi there. I play cytus 2 in my tablet mostly and I installed the game in my phone.

Somehow, my phone had an older version of my cloud save. I tried to update it but I couldn't. However, I played on my phone a little bit.

Then, I opened the game on my tablet and my progress was the same that I had on my phone and I don't know how to avoid this.

Luckly, I didn't lose much progress but I would like to know can I fix or avoid it.

Thanks!

help with cytus 2

I'm not sure if this will do much but I've been having trouble with cytus 2 for a few months now. Right after I updated my phone to android 14, I opened cytus when it didn't open so I waited for the android 14 support update and it still didn't open and it's been like this for months. I've tried downloading apks, uninstalling and reinstalling, clearing cache, restarting my device, force stopping, etc like basically EVERY solution I could find and I even contacted rayark support and they just gave me the same solutions that I listed.. so I was just wondering if I could get any help here??

thanks a lot. (also my phone's a nokia g60 5g if that will help.)

[Cytus α] The game doesn't counts clicking certain hold notes when they appear right after tap notes when playing with gamepad. Skill issue or it's some known game bug? This doesn't happen when playing on touchscreen

https://reddit.com/link/1g26jwc/video/gnsw0zrqwcud1/player

https://reddit.com/link/1g26jwc/video/0ltxx0urwcud1/player

Hey! This is my first post here 🙂

I'm struggling with the issue I described in the title.

The game is fully updated to v1.0.6. I'm currently playing on emulator and thought it might be something with that, though it's completely fine when I play with touchscreen. I also tried playing on different emulators (that aren't forks, so they won't share the same bug), playing the *base* version without updates, use different gamepads (including emulated ones like joycons and pro controllers), playing with different buttons (e.g. no dpad, or clicking w only one button), and the issue still remains.

It seems like a bug in the game itself, unless I'm simply doing something wrong? It's really killing me that I can't get Million Master on some songs when playing with gamepad, which is my preferred way to play this game :X

New player, where am I supposed to look?

In most of the rhythm games I play, the notes come from a single direction and I can keep my eyes at around the 'bar' where you tap the notes, but in this game the bar literally moves up and down. Should I keep my eyes on the bar, or should I play it more like Osu! where you just follow where the notes pop out from?
