Jubeat Markers

Markers are indicators that pop up when and where a note should be hit. The official names of the markers were first revealed in jubeat ripples, and were first shown in the arcade titles' marker selection screen in jubeat Qubell.

HOW TO CHOOSE A MARKER Depending on which marker you choose, pressing, visibility/perception, and Hi-speed will be different. Because each marker has individual differences, you should aim for a marker that suits you from the beginning animation until the perfect animation. In comparison to other types of rhythm games, markers are comparable to "Hi Speed" options. Currently known order for reaction time is as follows Long ← fireworks, knit, gauge, shutter, flower, touch, mirror ball → short

• Please add as soon as you know the position where other markers will fit

Basically, the further right you go, the markers become more difficult to react to and are much faster. These types of markers are better suited for advanced players. The markers to the left of the scale are slower, better for beginners are easier to read/react to. There are many different markers but most of them fall under similar sub catagaories. Most markers are based off of the markers introduced in the first few games, so for simplicity sake we will refer to these sub catagories as: Cyber, Shutter, Ripples, Left Right, Instant, Gauge, Ring, and Yubiko types. For reference, check the lists down below to see what each type's direction consists of.

Cyber

The default marker of jubeat.

• Type: Cyber
• Direction: from center / afar.
• Animation: a circle enlarging with a cybernetic animation, and "TOUCH" is displayed at the center.
• Speed: normal, constant.
• Timing: when the circle fully enlarged and "TOUCH" is displayed.
• Judgment animations:
  • Early/Late: small red blast.
  • Good: light blue blast.
  • Great: yellow blast.
  • Perfect: rainbow color / white blast.
• Background with complementary color: blue.

Timing can be judged even with a triangle reflected in an oblique direction Since the starting point of the marker is small, you may lose sight of it if you are not accustomed to the chart. It may be common for players to become accustomed to cyber before they notice that there are other markers, and to continue to use cyber through to the current games.

Flower

• Type: Cyber
• Direction: from center / afar.
• Animation: a blossoming flower, and "TOUCH" is displayed at the center when the flower is in full bloom.
• Speed: quite fast, constant.
• Timing: when the flower is in full bloom and "TOUCH" is displayed.
• Judgment animations:
  • Early/Late: small green light.
  • Good: green leaves scattering.
  • Great: orange flower petals scattering.
  • Perfect: flower petals in vivid colors and green leaves scattering.
• Background with complementary color: blue or green.

Sometimes it can be hard to notice the difference between the PERFECT and GREAT judgments. Because its a fast, flashy/flamboyant marker, it is often used in videos to check/study charts. This is one of the most popular used markers, along with Shutter.

Afro

• Direction: from left and right.
• Animation: "TOUCH" appears from left and right to the middle, while the number of the lights on the top increases from 1 to 3 to 5.
• Speed: quite slow, decreasing (for "TOUCH" only; the speed of the lights are constant).
• Timing: when "TOUCH" is in the middle and there are 5 lights on the top.
• Judgment animations:
  • Early/Late: stepping in rhythm, facing away (with blue floor light).
  • Good: stepping dance, facing towards the player (with blue floor light).
  • Great: 1 person performing break dance from nearby, and 2 people performing stepping dance from afar (with orange floor light).
  • Perfect: 1 person jumping from nearby, and 2 people performing break dance from afar (with glittering floor light).
• Background with complementary color: blue.

In the marker selection screen, the face of an Afro dancer is displayed in a single yellow color on a black background. Judgment can be distinguished not only by animation but also by color, making it easy to understand. However, it is not very good for horizontal patterns. Its easy to get greats when starting out, it is better to try to press late with this marker. Since the display speed is slow, it tends to be messy on high-density music.

Shutter

• Type: Shutter
• Direction: From around
• Animation:Things like camera shutters close from all sides. "TOUCH" appears from the top and bottom just before closing, and they overlap when closing
• Speed: normal
• Timing: When the shutter closes and "TOUCH" overlaps
• Judgment animations:
  • Early/Late: Small brown explosion
  • Good: Explosion in light blue
  • Great:Yellow middle explosion (hexagonal explosion)
  • Perfect:Brown explosion (white and dazzling)
• Background with complementary color: blue

Touch comes out right before closing, so its easy to press Since the entire screen is used from the beginning, it is suitable for blind spot countermeasures. However, it tends to be vulnerable to mashing Very addictive compared to other markers A popular marker whose usage rate stands out alongside flowers.

Blue Ring

• Type: Ring
• Direction: All
• Animation: "TOUCH" is displayed and expands. At the same time, the blue gauge forms a ring clockwise
• Speed: normal
• Timing: When a blue ring is created and "TOUCH" is expanded
• Judgment animations:
  • Early/Late: The light blue square rotates.
  • Good: The middle pink square rotates
  • Great: The yellow square is rotating
  • Perfect: Large green square rotates
• Background with complementary color: yellow

High versatility It is difficult to determine the timing deviation on a score with many diagonal arrangements Judgment is confusing with this marker, so those who are not used to it should be careful. Project DIVA player may be do well with it.

Fireworks

• Type: Instant
• Direction: All
• Display operation: Orange frames appear on all sides and become thicker and thicker. At the same time, a circular sight is displayed slightly above the center, and then fireworks (white dots) are launched toward the center of the circle. A yellow ring spreads from the sight after just timing
• Speed: Very slow (slowest marker in the game)
• Timing: When the fireworks overlap the center of the aim (The center of the circular aim can be determined by the intersection of the cross line connecting the slits entering the top, bottom, left and right)

The GOOD point is inside the sight (circle), so just entering the circle does not necessarily mean perfect.

• Judgment animations:
  • Early/Late: A small, yellowish explosion.
  • Good: A single green firework exploding.
  • Great: Two red and purple fireworks exploding.
  • Perfect: Many fireworks in red, green, yellow, and purple exploding including a large circular firework.
• Background with complementary color: Blue/Black

Since it is displayed from the outer frame suddenly, it is great for a blind spot countermeasure like shutter. Outer frame appears instantly and does not change, so it is the best marker for distinction and discrepancy. Due to the slow display speed, it is difficult for distinction in high speed chart. Some people feel that they are playing on low speed or HIDDEN option with other rhythm games. Very versatile, such as for checking chart patterns. In the perfect judgment, if you can see that the central circle is bordered in yellow, you can judge that the timing is late. If you aim for perfection with this marker, aim your hits to the center circle right in the cross hairs.
