General Discussion for Virtual Youtubers / Vtubers / Chuubas - it's okay to be a simp for 2D, just don't thirstpost.

You know I'm not sure. I haven't caught any Pippa karaokes. Yuni sounded alright in her April Fools karaoke, but I don't know how the Pippa voice would affect her performance.
She's not really good in terms of singing, you could compare her to Ame in that regard, but she does put her heart into it, just needs to not feel nervous about letting her voice out and having fun with it. Also, she was taking singing lessons paid by Sakana until he ran out of funds for that, so she probably got some knowledge and practice from those, though she wanted to sing stuff that was waaaaay out of her voice range off the bat, like Sabaton. 😥

Good question. AFAIK, no one truly knows exactly what they use, but we can guess close to maybe something along the lines what they might be using.

So here is a behind the scenes of Hololive quite a few years ago, this gives you some indication of some of the earlier tech they were using. It looks basic now, but back then this is was some advanced stuff.

Now days, I'm sure they put the girls in their own mo cap suits and are using a technology of something close to this level but probably way more advanced/expensive and fine tuned knowing COVER.

I personally think we will never truly exactly know what they use. I'm sure it's their own in-house software and setup and the actual details about how it all works is behind many locks and keys. Trust me I would LOVE to know how it all works, but we can only wish now.

TLDR: We don't know exactly, but we can guess fairly close. @Avokado Example is PRETTY close to how it most likely is
That made me wonder if there were any Kizuna AI behind-the-scenes videos since she was very public and out in the open. Found nothing but this clip popped up, which is very reminiscent of what Hololive has been doing recently with their Batman and NoTvEnOm interviews.

Jesus Karen was 15 years old when that happened. You might as well cancel the entire fucking Zoomer generation at that point.
 
it shouldn't be the responsibility of the minority to keep the thread fit for purpose
You get the thread you aim to create.
highlighting these two statements as they're pretty emblematic of the issue here.

Let's be real here though the # of people actually posting "unhinged rrats" regarding Niji isn't particularly large either. At worst a large portion of the people here are apathetic about Niji not actually antagonistic.

But if the folks here that do follow Niji heavily just throw their hands up and don't refute bad info then you're right, you get the thread you aim to create. You just give in to the antis. This vtuber shit aint like the other threads on this site where it's super fast and easy to find info and everyone can fact check every little thing. someone posting something incorrect about say Boogie2988 or Gunt in their threads will be quickly fact checked by that thread because everyone in the thread is keeping an eye on them.. Someone saying something incorrect about a vtuber here, when not everyone here is following that vtuber in particular, and it's not quickly accessable as there's a good chance it's not even in English, is a lot harder to fact check so to some extent it falls to the people that are watching it to set the record straight.

this whole "it's not the nijifans job to deal with niji minsinfo" logic is bafflingly stupid. who the hell else is equipped to refute it? Don't get me wrong I know it's annoying at times and I've argued some less than popular opinions in this thread before as well even specifically regarding Niji back when people here liked to pretend that NijiEN was some sort of flop or failure.

The persecution complex shit is just tired at this point, plenty of folks in this thread give you positive responses when you post about Niji content, but you get all melodramatic because Rezza says something stupid or uninformed. And you don't really help your case when nearly as often as he does, you fall to the same tribalistic bait nonsense when it suits you.

Aint sayin this to shit on you, you do genuinely put up some informative content in this thread when you aren't getting caught up in backhanded slapfights with holofans. But yeah this defeatest attitude and blaming everyone else for it just aint it chief.

I hope she has a good time and don't take things to heart if things don't go as planned
Probably best to set your expectations for the more reasonable and just be ready for the waterworks if she loses. That's kind of the default response to loss and frustration in these sorts of tournaments for a lot of girls but they bounce back later, people will probably overreact when it happens though.

thats a pretty odd thing to say. an avatar can only get you so far. its your voice and personality that will make you or break you.
[lights Freudian cigar]

Kronii doesn't like that we like her "real" voice and her "real" mopey personality, because those are facts about her body and brain, therefore not what she thinks of as her true self—much like her model's huge boobs are there, so she doesn't want us to love them, because it means we don't love her.

Girls who claim to be "genderfluid" or fall into the tomboy-to-troon trap are typically making an epistemic error, thinking of their attitudes toward gender, its expression, sexuality, etc. as their true selves, and their actual physical embodiment (and sense(s) thereof) as a hindrance to that realer self's intelligibility.

This is a rare example of a malady whose cure really is Find love, idiot. The distant/metaphorical love Kronii gets from us obviously doesn't help her. She can fit it directly into her existing unhealthy mental schema. She needs actual pussy-involved love. Touch ass, Kronii.

[throws cigar into the hissing crowd]

Apparently Liliana Vampaia's "real" voice is indistinguishable from Kronii's—and she's from the same minor-league team as Bae was, leading to a rrat that Lili and Kronii are the same person and that's why Kronii "doesn't stream" etc.—but she doesn't use that voice. This is a terrible mistake, like someone with perfect pitch never using it for anything except being annoyed at wrong notes. But Lili's lovable anyway, so she's doing fine. I'm sure Kronii would do fine too if she talked like an anime brat or whatever. Her actual self is..."relatable."

(I will never use that word again.)
 
Do it. Hopefully they're fragile enough that a light push sends them off the edge.
Maybe getting accused of 41%-ing someone will get us accepted by Null. (:_(

Unironic sound advice, sadly I think Kronii might be the one EN member least likely to read this thread...

Also did someone say perfect pitch?
 
Color me shocked that a tweeter who is in a constant state of "I'm working on things I swear" has it out for the reaper. Listen, the 41% is just itching to become the 42%, and you can help them get there today! Just do it and you'll feel better.

I agree with this sentiment, but I still don't want to see it. It just feels bad to watch her get upset even though I understand why she would. Hopefully they just pull it out and win so this situation can be avoided.

Spoiler alert, it's not Ollie doing the roasting.
