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

[Cubanodun]

Are there any vtubers that actually feel like a real person with basic competence at vidya? Every one I've ever checked seems to be full on AnimuGOTIS doing the "am I kawaii uguu~" patronizing from start to finish and it's all so tiring.

In nijisanji i dont know, in Hololive Botan and Suisei, Botan is a jack of all trades specialized in FPS, Suisei is so good at tetris that there was one time that salty spergs had to bring the nº2 ranked player to defeat her

You can try Belmond Banderas (Nijisanji).

When it comes to Nijisanji, apparently Chihiro is really good at Apex Legends.

Korone is legit amazing at games, too. That fucking time she beat Dragon’s Lair for NES and then rebeat it because she didn’t like that she won by using an extra life code... More patience than I will ever have.

She does have the kawaii thing, but I think she is sincerely the person she is on screen and isn’t patronizing. She’s just weird.

What she lacks on skills she compensate it with sheer determination and tons of tons of red bull

The collaborative efforts with Holostars is kind of strange, and it's honestly not really Cover's fault. YAGOO's twitter actually promotes the Holostars milestones more than it does for any of the female talent. Holostars actually suffered a lot because for a while they didn't have a proper branch manager, and now that they have one he's become kind of a character in his own right. Fubuki and Matsuri give absolutely zero fucks about what people think about them collaborating with the Holostars, and I forget who else it was (maybe Subaru?) but someone from hololive also basically told her more spergy viewers to fuck off and she can be friends with whomever she wants to be friends with. It's also more or less an issue of scheduling; a lot of the girls are supremely busy with many other things than just streaming (like that music video Subaru, Aqua and Pekora made for instant noodles) and have a lot of prep work they either have to do on the side or choose to do in order to help further the brand; Fubuki and Coco in particular do a lot of BTS stuff and Coco spearheaded the EN branch opening and was part of the audition process in terms of screening. Even that aside, any time one of the girls works with a Holostar the video gets dislike bombarded because how dare their waifu have a male friend, and some of the talent may be actively avoiding something like that. It's not really a problem with the overseas fans since most people realize the girls are just actresses and are free to have outside lives, but Japan really is hung up on the "seiso idol" bullshit that hololive is gradually eroding. I can't imagine what will happen if the Japanese find out that their cute shark loli was a fucking degenerate who would regularly get shitfaced and make shit raps based around furry copypasta.

The only consistent person I see who does collaborative efforts is actually Roberu, and that's just because the guy basically lives at his computer. If you take a look at his streaming schedule, he goes live several times a day; once in the early morning for a free talk with his audience and then later in the early afternoon to play whatever he has planned for the day. He never really takes a break, and because of his open schedule he can work with a lot of people outside of holopro, like the VOMS girls. Unlike a certain other shut-in who lives in what is considered a fucking streaming closet though, Roberu actually has a lot of charisma and love for his job.

Nijisanji tends to be absolutely wild with whatever characters they come up with and they don't really follow the idol playbook that Cover does, which in honesty may have just been an afterthought. Cover was a tech startup that saw a market in Vtubers because the Chinese were throwing money at people like Fubuki, when really they just wanted to sell facetracking software and used their idols as mascots for what it could do.. Ichikara was a Vtuber agency from the very beginning, although according to their flagship girl Tsukino Mito, was actually terrible to work for early on. I have no idea how she stuck around that long but she definitely suggested things so that the company stopped treating its talent and its BTS staff like absolute dogshit. They also don't really use the "idol" tag at all, instead just calling them "livers." They also have a lot more freedom to talk about their personal lives; Gwelu Os Gar is a dad and his viewers congratulated him on both his marriage and the birth of his kid when he talked about it. Imagine how the hololive's Japanese fanbase would react if by some chance one of the girls was an expecting mother.

The shark loli's a furry? I'm wounded, sir.

Not a furry. Just a drunk shitposter.

So why even was there a collab restriction for the first month? I can think of some reasons myself but its weird that theyre so transparent about it

Is pretty normal they are only allowed to do collaborations between themselves to solidify their bases then later they can colab with the other generations, the only weird limitation EN has is that they can't go to the main Hololive minecraft server

 

[Least Concern]

My guess is that they wanted to measure how well the streamers could do by themselves. If Amelia brought in big bucks over the last few weeks, but she had Korone or Coco on half those days, was her success due to her, or due to the other streamers? Maybe it was a way to see which ones couldn't cut it on their own, or even whether the entire EN division was going to be a failure without constant collab from the Japanese streamers. But now that those worries have been allayed, we can start to see some fun collabs between everyone.

Just my guess, anyway.

All hail the first Vtuber:

Subaru has mentioned that it takes some time for people to develop their streaming personality. I assumed the ban was in part to give a little time to let them adjust and settle into what they want the personality of their character to be.

Then theres Korone that botched her first stream so bad it turned into a colab with the others in the gaming group.

I saw that all the HololiveENG Vtubers did a Minecraft stream where they dug an underground tunnel for three hours to connect Gura’s future Atlantis to the village the rest have set up in.

It was still pretty damn entertaining.

30k something people watching anime girls digging a tunnel for 3 hours is the peak of this year

Also to pull off Chat lore like Kiara for example she trolled everyone in her debut by faking she has a transformation only to reveal in her super mario 64 trainwreck that she in fact has one but Huke has sealed her belt so she can't obliterate the entire direct and extended family of mario

 

[Gravemind]

where they dug an underground tunnel for three hours to connect Gura’s future Atlantis to the village the rest have set up in.

Or, to put it another way, where Gura is totally capable of reading a map and guiding the entire group in the right direction for almost 2 of those hours.

I swear, after the first time Kiara ate shit, she invoked karmic retribution upon herself for every subsequent time she died. First one doesn't count because Gura straight up deathflagged her.

Gura’s future Atlantis to the village

Then today she discovered that the sea was just to the side of their main base so all that digging was useless

I have so many questions. Especially since she built her initial base right at seaside in the first place.

This is what alcohol does to your shark brain, kids.

Perhaps a bit absent minded because how big her channel has grown in such a short amount of time?

This seems fitting.
