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

Damn, just give those views to Choco-sen or other holomems who are currently
streaming

Astel and Choco-sen are streaming as of this post

I don't prioritise watching Holomen over all others. Towa, Astel and Kurumi are amongst my favourites for APEX.

Edit: I'm a retard and thought this was responding to me watching Uto.

Choco and Roboco have been streaming since the start, but the third member was initially their coach, Kamaneko, as Astel was probably running late for one reason or another.
 
I decided to watch Uto's POV today as Astel, Kurumi, or Towa aren't streaming (or at least weren't from the start and I haven't checked).

Her team coach is Tempplex, a middle-eastern Pro player who has a translator with him. He's played with Chihiro before and they get along, but he's also coming off a lot more aggressive with his coaching than any other coach I've watched. He's pretty snappy and not at all tactful.

He enters the call after they die or the round ends, and is supposed to offer tips, but it mostly just amounts to 'you should have simply done X, Y, and Z that's all', but the problem is that APEX is so situational that those kind of tips will probably be redundant in the next round and forgotten about when next they are in that situation. Teaching people to improve their game sense to such a minute degree isn't really feasible.

He's not a bad guy or anything; he has played with V-Tubers before and makes an effort to speak in the little Japanese he knows during gameplay, but it's a good job a translator is filtering out his tone and directness because he has a way of talking that Japanese people would probably choose to avoid.
I wonder why no one asking Selen to coach them, she's a legit top 500. I don't think there's anyone in Vchuuba scene ever reach that rank (maybe Botan). I wonder if one day Selen decided to participate in the Vchuuba Apex tourney (Matsuri got a beffy PC as consolation price last tourney), Selen will storm everyone.
 
since we talked about Anya situation before, decided to watch Anya current super chat reading to give it a try, so here is a bit summary :
  1. Anya likes to collected perfume, mostly from overseas brands (i just think the famous ones)
  2. Ollie thought Anya smell like baby oil, although Anya confirms, she never use one ever. only perfume and some face oil
  3. have been to Malaysia couple times, also Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. love to shopping or just going around Malaysia mall, stay at hotel (on how she describe it, it feels like she is another rich girl like Reine. or at least she is not that poor before joining Hololive since she able to travel often)
  4. Love Thai food
  5. Advice not to visit Indonesia besides Bali to have a vacation.
  6. Seems living in Jakarta
  7. surprised that people impression who start to join her after calling her JP senpai is that she is shy and has finally come out from her comfort zone when actually she already has done that before. like her collab with JP Nijisanji among us. or off collab with JP senpai/Vtuber. mostly done off collab play with people but you only know during her super chat stream or free talk, since she not bring that up often
Actually to correct my autistic comment earlier, now I realized what is a bit annoying about her talk is how she is not trying to translate what she said when talking to the chat. so if chat talks in Indonesia, she just talks in ID, and when someone talks in JP she just replied in JP and does not elaborate to explain it. maybe because I used to Pikamee and Ollie who constantly translate what they talking about now I found it a bit hard to follow Anya

I don't think it's a case of no one asking her, but moreso that the Pro coaches and Captains were all selected by Shibuya Hal himself, and are all people he knows and plays with himself.

Selen is brand spanking new to the V-Tuber scene and was only like 2 weeks into activity when Hal started listing the teams and coaches, which means they were probably in the process of picking teams before Obsydia debuted.

I think we WILL see her pop up in the future, most likely in ALGS or CR Cup.

However, the value cap system applies to most of these tournaments. Selen can SAY she's a Master/Predator, and she can play out of her mind during streams, but these tournament showrunners are probably going to want to see badges to prove it. In other words, she's gonna have to play a lot of Ranked on or off stream on her Selen account to show she has the chops to have a team built around her.

CR Cup's value cap system is pretty wild and made to have fun. They have 'point deduction criteria' for women and non-native Japanese speakers, to which Selen is both. The showrunners also banter with members like Astel, telling him he can have a couple points knocked off his value as long as he writes a poem about summer, or send his mother a heartfelt message and post it.

Selen COULD be a Predator worth 12pts, but because she's an English-speaking woman, she may only be worth 8. This could make her one of the most stupidly lucrative participants available as she would have the same value as a Japanese Diamond player. As such, I really think she'll need to reach Master/Pred on her current account before she'll be allowed entry.

Selen learning Japanese callouts or partnering with someone like Bora and speaking Korean at a level where being non-native doesn't really matter, she could really fuck shit up in CR Cup.

The value cap of CR Cup is 24pts and you must have one male and one female. So you could have something like Selen (Non-native female Pred - 8 ), Bora (Non-native female Master - 6), and Axia Krone (Japanese Male Master - 10) as a totally realistic Nijisanji team.
 
Artia was not a funny troll, she was genuinely a malicious one. She's basically the epitome of what a lot of people who dislike Amelia think she is. For example the "She 's going to derail or get people killed during the TTRPG because she's trolling." ideology. Ame knows that it's Calli's passion project and how much effort she puts into it and the last thing she'd do is ruin it for her. Artia is the type of person that would, "for a laugh".

Sadly most of her content is nuked, and very little is available on YouTube. But I still remember a Minecraft collab that CN did where they spent hours building some genuine impressive buildings, for Artia to blow them up with TNT for a joke. I'm fairly sure she was even disliked in her own gen.
Oh yeah I completely agree.
My main point prior was that it's hard to separate the artist from the entertainment and this case because she said artist used their forte for malicious things.
It's something that's down not only to the person in this case but also her V tubing career.

Or Selen could use their system against them especially the “demand to see badge” ruling. Selen only need to grind her account to Gold or diamond and stay there then she can just grab 2 English speaking Vchuuba who know what they are doing in Apex to complete the 3 stacks line up. Imagine she got the gremlin like Amelia (who is gold but still know what she’s doing at least) and another one like Astel, he’s decent commu in English and he’s only need to play crypt or some simple meta like Rev or Oct just ping location and they are Gucci.
 
I never respected Pippa as much as I did after learning she completly skipped the Idolm@ster collab with Azur Lane (which speaking from experience, was a pretty shitty collab), and then commenting "I've seen the community for that, I ain't touchin that"
She is not the only one lets enumerate how this event was uber trash

  1. We already had a Idol event with the MUSE event
  2. The story of the event is absolute trash (they just appear and that's it) even the Hololive event had infinitely more lore (like Fubuki fawning for her cousin, Matsuri lewding IJN destroyers, and Mio being her also tons of mentions of their Minecraft streams)
  3. The units are meh at best
  4. Gacha was poisoned (aka units with the same time of build) with Ami and Mami you could whale for shit and never get all the units
  5. Yostar just picked the ones that already were working with them because they are lazy, Ami and Mami (Asami Shimoda ) was already there as the voice of a Pulin, Azusa Miura (Chiaki Takahashi) is Houshou, Chihaya Kisaragi (Asami mai) is Drake (Original) and was before as Black Heart/Noire (Neptunia collab), Haruka Amami (Eriko Nakamura) is Victorious, Iori Minase (Kugimiya Rie) is Formidable and Vampire, the ONLY one that has never worked with Azur lane is Ritsuko Akizuki (Naomi Wakabayashi) and her unit is trash
  6. People taking shots about how why they picked 765pro when the money's on Deresute idols now
  7. You cant oath (aka marry) the Idolmaster units, if you have a ring you have to convert it first to a idol crown then you can "super idolify them", for how retarded this is you CAN marry Hololive units
  8. In the event you cant "defeat" the idolmaster units once they HP hit 1 they bail of the battlefield, bandai namco did not want you yeeting Idols
  9. The special item is garbage, the entire event was just 4 nodes that every retard can breeze
  10. Talking about the story, Bandai namco was so anal about following Idol protocols that in the entire event the commander doesnt appear, we cant have penis havers here no no no
tl;dr it was super lazy, bad, units are almost as meh as the neptunia events and was worse than the DOA collab event

Is there a place where people don't swear a lot?
Her mom is more Hololive material than her :smug:

And lemme guess, the crown is more expensive than the regular wedding ring eh?
Nah, they cost the same thankfully, you have to convert it first and thats it, but wasting money in a ring for supbar units is frowned unless you really like them

Edit: for context of how absurd it is, you can marry literally toddlers with impunity but idols? oh no no no we cant have that

Edit 2 to shill for AL: all the Hololive units have very lukewarm reactions for you marrying them believing is some kind of super proof of friendship... except Mio, she take it seriously

Unfortunately I think Ame would get crushed in CR Cup. Crazy Raccoon are a team of Professionals. Selly is the world's #1 Wingman player. You have players like Virtual Gorilla, Hal, Reid, etc. The skill floor is just so high that you have to make the most of your point allocation to avoid getting Thanos'd the moment you try to engage an enemy team.

I would love to see Selen and Ame play together as part of Selen's new 'One Guest per Week' initiative, though, but if I had the choice of Amelia or Nun Bora to win a tournament then it pretty much answers itself.

Humourously, I'm pretty sure Roberu DID somehow abuse his Rank in the last HAL tournament but I can't remember the specifics. Suffice it to say that he isn't participating in this one, though!
 
Guys, I hate to interrupt your interesting Apex conversation, but we have some doomposting to work on.

Wait, IRyS' model can have tears?
Oh so TTRPG is still happening with Ame and Dad on Vacation!?
Thats good to know, It's one of the few hololive things im actually invested in.
Maybe they're gonna release their scheds some time soon
That sounds like she had to give it up. How old is Aki supposed to be irl?
Maybe late 20s to early 30s

Oh no *looks at the certain recent gunpla-building streamer* please don't
 
I don't know what they're putting in the Hololive office water,
Interesting to see the Server Portal Relay not including any of the EN-Branch at all.
From a little snooping in Reddit, apparently Kiara got bonked or something plus Ame is on vacation. They will probably just use Ina's torii gate as the portal.

Double posting but Gura's schedule is out.

Minecraft, Minecraft and Minecraft oh my. I haven't seen this many Minecraft from Goorah since months ago.

>JP server tour

Hmm so this either confirms that no need to build a decorative portal from EN side or Gura gonna sneak into JP server.
 
So how long is it going to take for all of EN Gen2 to drop their predetermined personalities and traits?

Anyone else keeps being unsubed to holoen gen 2.?It's the third fucking time I've had to sub to those 5 Google ffs I'm not a bot.
Susan's really fucking with their debut preparations, which is extremely important for their growth as Gura demonstrated.
 
Oh no *looks at the certain recent gunpla-building streamer* please don't
Kson said something about not joining any new agencies or something along those lines.

Does Vshojo actually appeal to indies? Do indies really want to join in on Nyanners and Vei watching guys masturbate? Once potential fun thing that could come out of them opening their doors is more potential for someone to expose Zen for whatever reason.
