    0:50 - Funnily enough, Maximillian did play Idol Showdown for a bit on stream, even doing a Rate the Super for each of the characters and assists (with top marks going to Botan and Risu)
    He called it the "SNES Sailor Moon fighting game of our generation".

    Most videos I've seen about this game said that it's fun and namedropped some trivia they've read about in order to give a little bit of context.
    But this is the only video I've seen with this amount of love and passion about everything and everyone in the roster. While style select is great and i'd love to see a new episode about that, I kinda missed you just gushing about stuff you like. Great video, ABI!

    On the "seiso" part, while Coco contributed greatly into the "non-seisoness" of Hololive, Matsuri was more or less the first one to remove the "seiso" image of HL, as someone who leans into a pervy behavior in contrast to others, which apparently caused early managers to not be fond of her until 2nd Gen. There was something that they call the "Matsuri Line", which is basically a benchmark on how "unseiso" a member is. According to Matsuri, the only one to surpass said line was Coco.

    It just hit me that V-tubers are to TH-camrs what Pro-Wrestlers are to martial artists: actors behind a fictional persona with wacky designs, lore, and personalities who are promoted (and sometimes managed and manufactured) by a media company for the purpose of real-time, long-term entertainment. This makes Hololive akin to WWE. I refuse to elaborate further.

    I knew literally nothing about Hololive (except that they're Vtubers) going into Idol Showdown and I was prepared to be like "yep it's a kusoge alright" but I was presently surprised! I went from hesitating and just waiting until locals to touch the game to almost exclusively wanting to play it for a couple weeks! I never bothered with the in-game tutorial so I had a lot of fun discovering the game's mechanics and learning how to utilize them and found a couple different teams I like playing with. I even found one of my gameplans nerfed because it was too good (it really was, I deserved the nerf).
    Idol Showdown and TMNT x Justice League Turbo are amazing fan-made fighting games and both deserve to be played, whether you like the source material or not!

      Hololive was supposed to be a virtual Japanese idol group created by the guy we call Yagoo.
      His dream was to have a idol group and he managed to find great talents but...
      They all destroyed his dream and drove the idol concept into the mud due to their antics, memes, being crazy, etc.
      Closest to a idol that hololive still has is Sora but even she has terrifying moments.

    Don't underestimate the number of Hololive fans also into fighting games. The opposite isn't as true, though. This is the perfect blend of Hololive references and fighting game references. The easy inputs but with traditional commands that give a bonus is right out of GBVS. The Super Chat cancels are HD cancels from KoF13. If Ayame had a double jump and air dash, she'd basically be a Melty character. Haven't seen a fighting game reference crossover this good since Kemono Friends Fight.

    • @Tyrranis

    I didn't know anything Kiryu Coco's importance. The talk about someone with a very loud personality pulling people together and pushing her company forward reminded me of Hello Project's Tsugunaga "Momochi" Momoko (...and tying this back to Hololive both Pekora and Aqua have talked about Momochi being an influence on them as idols)

    On top of the stuff you said, look at the game from a more gameplay-focused perspective, the devs often listen to the community and several balance patches were released to adress several balance issues because at launch the game as the definition of the "modern era kusoge". Right now, just a few months after its release, the game is way more balanced than before and I can say for sure I recommend it.

    For anyone curious, Coco is technically still around, but under a new identity (that she owns) with a different, US-based idol agency. She's also still doing the things she's known for and still pushing the boundaries, including being one of the first big vtubers to "break" kayfabe and basically show her real face, which indirectly leads to her upcoming appearance in a couple of upcoming games from her favorite franchise in the future.

    Damn good video. Idol Showdown was the spark that pulled me back to playing fighting games after a 15+ year hiatus. It's crazy to see how the genre has evolved since living in a bubble for so long. I never predicted my love of Hololive would be the bait that hooked me back in.
    I like your character predictions too, though I think Moona will be the 2nd/3rd bonus character. All the fighters can't collab with themselves, nor can they interact with their virtual tour events/shops of themselves. And, like you pointed out, the fighting characters have song remixes on the stage. Pekora meets all those "requirements," and while Haachama does too, I think it's really weird that ID has so much presence in the game but Moona has a stage song remix and is almost nowhere else to be seen. Same reason I also think Cali will be a main cast character.

    Despite having watched some footage of Kizuna Ai, I feel like I've been introduced (or reintroduced) to Vtubers by Koefficient, who was primarily a Blazblue and fighting game content creator until he publicly dove into the rabbit hole.
    I think Koefficient is one of the main reasons this game even has a player base. He is one of if not THE first content creator to bridge fighting games with Vtubers. If anything, this game was made specifically for him, as it's centered around VTubers (most of which are among his personal favorites) and has mechanics that are very similar to Blazblue.
    The game features a lot of Vtuber references, but you've glanced over how the game also has a lot of fighting game references. The most obvious ones are references to the Marvel Vs. Capcom series. X-potato is a reference to a Wolverine's Weapon X. Botan's Get To Da Choppa is a reference to Jin Saotome's Blodia Vulcan. And lastly, every single character's Cosplay 6 color pallet is a reference to an existing fighting game character.

    Other than that I can't really say much about exactly what it's about, as even beginning to talk about that brings up spoilers for the 1 1/2 hour episode one, but I can at least say that it is easily one of the best anime that I have seen.

    Also a few reads of characters I know about and how they relate to their personality
    Suisei: Suisei being a really appresing force when she gets to hit one good hit is really in character not only because of her murderous abilities in AMOGUS! And the winter game, but also how she doesn't seem to be that good in many games or abilities but when she's good she Comes on top of any social deduction game, is one of the best dancers in Hololive, beting for someone else in a Mario Kart tournament is betting for an underdog and she has beaten N°1 Tetris 99 player in the world and she will not hesitate to show her complete dominance when she has it.
    Korone: her close-quarters shoto for me it's brilliant because on one hand she does have the dog personality he already talked about but she also has said how she does boxing for a passtime wich may translate at prefering shorter ranges but also what he didn't mention is how she's mostly a retro streamer, and since most of the mechanics we associatte to gimmick fighter wouldn't come a lot of time after the retro games she focuses arround, it makes sense that she of all her companions would choose to play arround shoto basics instead of focusing on gimmicks like Gacha, summons, weird dashes or something like that.
    If someone wants to add to this feel free since I don't know much from the other half of the roaster and I'm really impressed of how much work went into translating and mashing the personality and lore of the talents into practical fighting game characters.

    So, for those who want to know a little bit more about the idol culture I strongly recommend watching or reading Oshi no Ko. Not only is one of the best manga/anime I've read/watch, but also it strongly critiques the idol industry.

    Using Idolm@ster footage instead of idol footage. I approve. I do wish we had a western release of the Idolm@ster games. I would have loved to play the Takane Shijou route.

    There’s gonna be an upcoming fighting game made by Hyun’s Dojo (Studio Bidou specifically) called Stickfigurez. A platform fighter featuring popular stickfigures characters, such as ones from the Rock Hard Gladiators series and seemingly other popular stickfigure medias. (Ex. Henry Stickmin, Johnny Rocket Fingers, etc) (Note I’m only stating examples of Stickfigure Media, only 4 characters so far have been revealed and they are all from the RHG/Dojo Duels series.)
    I saw in your Hustle video that you wanted to review some stickfigure fighting games like Knockout (Fatal Arts: Reloaded is also a thing) and I wanted to share about this game aswell.

    Great video. I agree that Coco was incredibly influential deserves a lot of credit and I love that she is in the game, but I think a lot of the talents challenged idol culture.
    For instance, Matsuri and Marine have always shown a lot of "culture," Haachama made very unhinged content and Korone's yubi obsession is a reference to yakuza "finger shortening." Korone also used to host "facts of society's dark side, where she would explain dark criminal behavior as if she was explaining it to children.
    I heard Haachama had something to do with the creation of HoloEn.
    Also, a few other talents had the superpower "English" before HoloEn, the most fluent before Coco was Haachama. Subaru and Korone had "effort English" by forcing themselves to communicate more with their English fans and becoming better over time.

    First Koko / Kson is a bless and i hope her VA carer explodes aswell, second including sana aswell was a nice touch. On another hand i started watching your content years ago when you still made league content and while i understand that you prob don't want those vids to be on your channel, they're pretty much part of my greatest memories when i started the game and had alot of fun with my friends. Is there any chance you can upload them somewhere again ? Keep up the great work mate.

    SugarPunch being a Hololive fan is a very surprising thing but a welcome one! 💙💙💙💙💙
    Edit: it should be noted that Hololive already had a growing English speaking fanbase before Coco, mostly thanks to Clippers and the only Hololive member at the time with a decent grasp of English: Akai Haato, hence why Kiryu Coco and Haachama were always called Hololive EN Generation 0

  • @Raxyz_0
    @Raxyz_0 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love that even knowing literally nothing about Hololive I still maintained my age-old tradition of maining boss characters w/ Coco, lol. I didn't stuck around for long sadly, SF6 released soon after and the playerbase for Idol Showdown was waaaay more casual than me. People were complaining in forums how underpowered Coco was even though she was a grappler with some of the best normals in the game and _the only character to have a fucking airdash in the game_ . *_A grappler_* . After the 100th time my safe jump setups worked I felt like I couldn't really grow playing this game, I was just bullying vtuber fans.
    PS: I think my interests match with yours only on animation, FGC and Martial arts history, but honestly I like the flow of your video essays that I'd still watch even those whose subjects isn't something I'd normally go for.

    "Dared to challenge the very notion of idol culture."
    Roboco? Mel? Matsuri? Fubuki? Haato? Choco? Marine? Noel? 2018-2020?
    The change that's been going on pre-Coco was already in the works long before she was in Hololive.
    She was the final bridge for a huge change on what is and what is not "acceptable"(Sadly) and followed suite with the others in her own way. And for certain helped to show it more open. But she was a part of the whole cog of change from the previous hololive members.
    Hololive never started as an Idol culture at all until after Gamers.
    They've been seen as Idols from many others regardless where they started from even before they had the title of idols. Gen Gamers and before were themselves surprised for being called as such.
    There's a whole slew of history here but yes. Coco was important for the change, but she was the final cog of the whole change that many of the OG gens of Hololive have been doing before her.

    it was actually cocos ark streams that got me into the hololive rabbit hole, i was playing that game at the time and saw some clips of those streams and checked them out, the fact that she spoke some english in those streams had me more interested in checking out hololive as a whole, if not for her i don't know if i would have gotten into hololive or not
