Does beat time have any effect on the appearance of rare monsters?

I'm not sure, but I always thought that the only thing that affected monsters was your Section I.D., especially on Challenge mode.

The heavens punisher special is based on Internet time. It works between beats 0-100 and 200-300 etc... (i think) It works like Dark Falz' heaven punishment attack, but attacks the entire room, for a high ammount of damage.

My personal opinion is that beat time affects only the Heaven's Punisher and (supposedly, have yet to find out) the Morning Glory. I think that what affects rare drops and/or rare monster appearances is a combination of time in the level, number of enemies killed, and most importantly plain old luck.

i believe the Morning Glory formula is (Beats/4) + 500 = ATP Boost.

Let me get this staight (Morning Glory):
At 800 beats (divided by 4=200 +500=700) my special attack would do an extra 700 atp?

beat time does have an affect with the Heaven's Punisher. I'm not sure about the Morning Glory. As far as drops, none. It's just luck. You can play for a long time and get nothing or alot, or you can play for a short time and get alot or nothing; just luck (and no not the stat, just luck).
