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

So there was meant to be a fifth member?

Maybe HoloEN is moving to the HoloStarsEN Gen template and only have 4 a Gen?

I have a strong feeling if this actually is HoloEU that it's gonna be a GAMERS situation and possible that Kiara gets double-membered.

 

[Burnt Fish]

It's an announcement, not a debut. Wait till we have first stream times to rule out EU.

I mean I'm not ruling it out with pointing out the announcement time. But the reasoning remains the same. If you're rolling out an EU gen it'd be pretty strange to target the announcement at the worst possible time for EU.

Then again unless something big changes NA is still where the money is even for EU friendly holos. Even Kiara is still carried by USD donos while Euro donos lag far behind. So even an EU focused generation is going to need to target NA

From the ones that are speculated to be in this new gen, do we know where they live?

 

[Scarthew]

4 person gens work great for full gen collabs because giving yourself the option to play 4 person games instead of 5 gives you like a million more options of what to do.

Well it also avoids third wheels (5th wheels?) and even with games that go above 4 you still cant have even teams.

5 is a good standard for jp because idols need a "center" but thats less a concern for EN too.

It's low quality but people dug out this art from music sites.

I'm not feeling any of these designs but I also didn't expect to like Biboo as much as I do.

EDIT: Is there a reason that Advent has been doing so many vertical streams lately?

If the number monkeys on /vt/ are to be believed Vertical streams kind of game the algorithm the same way shorts do and get pushed to more people, as a result a lot of holo members have tried out doing karaoke streams and stuff in the format.

Also a lot of advent being in Japan and away from their normal PC setups probably just has them playing around with more zatsu and karaoke streams and so they're throwing vertical streams into that mix.

Vertical is pushed by the algorithm. Ive seen a few streamers do both simultaneously and honestly youtube needs to just offer it as a toggle for the user at this point.

The same reason they all have been doing them: The algorithm is promoting vertical streams hard.
I'm not gonna call any of them good based on their design alone. I thought Shiori's design was amazing till I saw it moving and heard the person behind the design. And despite what some retards might whine about, I hard passed on Biboo because >loli. It was only after seeing that she's actually an adorable gremlin that I jumped on board with that.

Biboo tried to buy salt at the konbini and bought MSG instead like a fucking dork.

They look like Blazblue designs.

 

[Forte]

So I guess it is still HoloEN and not EU. Oh well, get dunked on EU nerds.

Would be wild if Grimmi was going to, and turned it down. Her deciding to quit suddenly, then decide not to, was kind of weird anyway, but figured it was IRL stuff, like her job. Too bad we'll never know.

Wow they signed Tsubaki and Taokaka

Irys still trying to find her place in Hololive, I see.
