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

Watching Amelia right now and chat keeps trying to force a collab with Gura.

I mean, if they're on the server at the same time, why not go ahead and open up a Discord call or whatever between them? Even if they're not working on the same project, at least they can banter about stuff.

I guess there must be reasons why not, but I don't think it's a strange thing to ask.

Amelia said something to the effect of not taking from Gura's and Gura's viewers' experience of her stream. I don't think she wants to attention whore on Gura's stream or something.

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.

People already mentioned Botan and FPS and Suisei and tetris.. Artia got to Grandmaster in Overwatch solo queue and Aqua is supposedly a pretty good Dark Souls player who beat DS1 vanilla in under 3 hours. I dunno if that is considered good but I ragequit before beating it so.. There is an indenpendant vtuber Hinata who is also known for being good at shooters like CSGO, PUBG, Apex.

edit: forgot our boomer pirate cosplaying granny is good at those Touhou bullet hell games.

I don't know what's more terrifying, that I asked for basic competence and that that now equates to "pro GAMURZ" or that the shit that passes for competitive these days is apparently battle royales and motherfucking Overwatch. Give me all your fedoras because videogames are fucking dead.

Granted. I'm not sure what you're MatI about. You got your question answered, and as much as you might not like BRs or hero shooters they still involve a good deal of skill to play at a high level. At any rate you also got someone who plays Dark Souls well, and Dark Souls is like the Dark Souls of Soulsbornes.

FWIW I watched Roberu the other day get #1 a couple times on that Mario Bros 35 game or whatever it's called.

You conveniently skipped Dark Souls and Tetris lol Anyhow here is Aqua beating Getting Over It in under 9 min 30 sec.

I think the Hololive girls are just unlucky with their N64 consoles, in Okayu's case it couldn't handle the Backwards Long Jump so it was the console itself (overheating maybe?)... but something similar happened to Korone recently with her Banjo run, although I think it was the video cables that time? Whatever the reason she never finished Banjo on stream as far as I know.

I could write a wall of text about why you're wrong but that would lead to responses, debate, derailment. Message me if you really want to know.

Calling Dark Souls hard is an insult to hard games. You can quote me on that. I got a lotta love for Tetris but when that's the best skill-based offering you've got that's a pretty sad state of affairs. That's like going to Dreamhack and all they've got is Chess in Tabletop Sim and yeah, the BR adaptation they made is a pretty cool idea, but it's still fundamentally Tetris. I haven't tried Getting Over It, but it looks pretty nifty.

I feel bad getting into it here because I feel like I'm already implicitly derailing so I'll give you a few examples and if you want to really get mincing I'll be happy to over PMs. I should preemtively reiterate that my original question was only for competence, ie: not playing like DSP, iJustine et al. rather than 24/7 uber-skilled high-level play. The most important distinction to make is between SP and MP, since they require different skillsets. On the MP side the single best game is probably CPMA for Quake 3, followed by in no particular order Brood War, SF II, Skullgirls, CS 1.6, Frozen Synapse, and Killing Floor.

On the SP side: Defrag for Quake 3, Doom, Hotline Miami 2, Jagged Alliance 2, IVAN, Super Meat Boy, Zone of Alienation, Rogue Spear, UT99.
