you should definitely tune it. they're very very comfy streams, reminiscent of Ina! Their audience is generally a who's-who of absolutely ridiculous people. Like the other day I was watching and the creator of Vtube Studio, Denchi, was just chilling out and Walfie was embarrassing them 😆"is that THEEE denchi I see?"
Until he mentioned "Before Smol Ame was even a term" I had forgotten that we used to call them all walfie [character], walfie Ame, walfie Kiara, etc. I feel like the first time it was smol myth instead of walfie myth was that april fools 2021 stream.
Ame is incredibly influential in the VTuber community, but Walfie is probably equally impactful, not just for VTubers, but on the internet. Ever used the Anime Bingo site? Walfie made that. The Walfas Touhou character creator? Also Walfie. Every fandom the dude has touched he's made a huge impact on.
To me walfie, Kay yu, and kanauru show that holo community is not some fans only cheering from the side. We can create something that can be integrated and collab with our oshis.
HE MADE THE WALFAS?? Man, I don't know anything about Touhou but the Walfas were the default character creator for a lot of TH-camrs in the 2011-2016 in the Latin-American side of TH-cam. A lot of TH-camrs started as a edited Walfa and that Walfie was the creator of Them hits a lot more
He also made the Granblue-raid finder. I don't play the game, but it seemed like a big deal for when it was active. It's crazy he isn't even an artist full-time, but a software programmer. Dude is super talented.
honestly I can't imagine being Walfie. His simple design left a pretty. big impacts on english vtuber scene, to the point that there is an official smol Ame mascot was designed, crafted, worn and celebrated at multiple events. Like wtf
Uhhh Koe? Coco? Really? 😂😅 no it's not... -,- coco is not koe thing. even in his early career. we all just love the asacoco news. just that. and koe too. also the meme review.
@@DBT1007 Koefficient has gone on the record saying that he wouldn't be where he is without Coco featuring him on Asacoco. As such grew from Coco reaching out to him, much like Walfie grew from Ame reaching out to him.
I was hoping to hear from Walfie at some point before Ame left. He was such an impact on Hololive and sorta started the idea of the smol models for them just because his artstyles and animations were so amazing and cute.
Walfie the legend. Things won't be the same for vtubing industry without Smol Ame. From meme to 2D model to 3D model to VR model to plushies to big costume.
oh yeah, ame was the original holoen yapper. today that trophy is given to fauna, but I remember the original ame memes of "how the hell is she still alive?" 😂😂😂
@@StkyDkNMeBlz You forgot about queen of superchat tangents, Takanashi Kiara, who spends 8 hours on superchat streams because she can't stop yapping between every supa
Nice find. Dudes stream has only 402 views.. You are one of 402 that caught this and manage to clip this for a wider audience, gj. I didn't even know he streams
Just learned that the Man, the myth and the Legend walfie is doing streamd which shouldn't be a surprise. Ame and Walfie has kickstarted the trend of fans-Members of collaborating with works that changes the whole industry. Fckingly defined a whole Vtuber Era, both of them along with Goobs and others
With his and Ame's influence. I have seen a lot of Walfie/Smol versions of other Vtubers, not just Myth but outside that. It's.. like a ripple effect. It was an amazing time.
The difference here is Ame is going to fade in the staff back ground However from what's shown in hololive and holostars nowadays staff can now play video games and help in hand streams with the idols.
I used to not be really invested in Hololive, as in I'd only watch them through clips. I still got to know parts of their streams and interesting stuff about them, but obviously not the whole picture. After EnReco though, I was curious. Joining the subreddit, checking out some streams (not watching it all still, just not my thing). Few days after, I see the video posted from Amelia. At first, I did feel bad, but same with most graduations, I've always thought that "Hey, they're still alive, and hopefully will enjoy and succeed." That's when I decided to watch more clips of her, to fully see her impact. And wow... I understand why people care so much about these amazing people. What I loved Ame was not just her hard work, but how much she works WITH the community, and how many creative ideas are brought to live from that, for both sides.
No way! I managed to get the smol Ame keychain from a gatchapon and I have been carrying it around with my bag ever since her announcement. Congrats for contributing a big part to her journey and all the best to your art career! (Oh wait sorry you’re a clipper after looking twice my bad) 😅
The Ground Pound really was special, I remember that a little while after that ground pound stream we had not only Walfie’s animation, but there was an Avilon song clipping the line AND the was a platformer fangame with multiple levels where you traverse with ground pounds as walfie Ame, and then she played it! On stream! Badly but still, what a good time
Walfie is such a champ, he is reminiscing but being strong and heartfelt about everything he says, from first time viewer to one of thr most important parts of EN. Man is immortalized and left his mark in this world.
Man I've known about Walfie ever since they were known as Walfas in the Touhou fandom. I had no idea they speak English and does streams. When I was just getting into Hololive, starting with Kronii and learning about Myth, all of a sudden they brought out avatars in a familiar art style that I hadn't seen in like a decade. I think that was one of the moments that cemented how much I'd get invested into Hololive. I became much busier ever since and barely watch their streams, but man. I loved them and still do. I'm thankful for them, especially Myth who went through such a tough time together for not just themselves but to pave the way for any juniors that would follow in their footsteps, and especially Ame with her production abilities. And I also thank Walfie for their contribution to such an iconic set of avatars for them. Ame hasn't made it clear as to what exactly she'll be doing as Hololive affiliate and I'm not going to speculate too much, but I wish her all the best and that she'll get to spread her wings.
4 years went by in the blink of an eye. I tripped down the Holo nosagi-hole when news of Coco's graduation went out. I found myself getting really emotional when the Ame announcement dropped.
And not only did his Bee Ame become an official model for Ame, it became one of three plushies to celebrate 4 years of our favorite time-travelling detective.
Smol Ame will always live in my heart. While I wasn't a watcher or audience member. Mostly because I knew and still know that nothing I say or do will ever get to Ame's eyes. I still loved and enjoyed Smol Ame. When she showed up in different places. That's when I knew, I had been bitten by the Smol Ame bug. I always loved the rambunctious nature of Smol Ame. I always wanted to see her and Smol Ina or Smol Gura and Smol Biboo play around in a field. Sort of like that Nintendo ad when they start beating each other up, the ad for I think it was the first Smash Brothers game. Thank you, Ame, and thank you for the art Walfie. 🥲
Walfie talking about the impact Ame had, and we're out here thinking, "true, but think about the impact Walfie had on us too tho, what about when he leaves the internet?" It really rings true to us all that we really CAN'T imagine some of our favorite creators/internet people just.... leaving, almost suddenly, even.
I remember discussing which one going to graduate first and I said "Aqua will stay for a long time because she's an introvert and this is a perfect job for her" and look who graduated early. Then I also said "Ame told us how she used to be unappreciated and she finally find something that fit her well. So I believe Ame will be here for a long time too" and now Ame is leaving. I'm scared to discuss this kind of topic anymore. I felt like I jinxed them. Also October is near and I want to see Ame made another Halloween special with Myth....
I remember seeing them a bit but where it stuck out was Smol Ame raiding TH-cam HQ when Kiara got banned for no reason.I remember thinking it was such a perfect representaiom for her "RRREEEEEE" energy going a roaring rampage of revenge against Susan
Behind every great VTuber is also a pretty great artist...unless of course said VTuber made everything themself in which case, awesome, but reaching out and asking for some help is awesome too!
Can you believe that smol Ame was just a fanmade thing integrated into the actual culture of vtubers? I cannot imagine a timeline where Ame does not have smol Ame, especially in the way they're designed. I mean council has their own version of smalls but Smol myth, is just something else man.
Ame seems to be going independent as Dooby3D, however her 3D studio is an excellent and trustworthy resource within North America for Hololive so cutting her loose entirely is also a bad move. So Ame gets to be Indie with benefits thanks to her knowledge and investments in the realm of 3D live.
Man this so... sad. But that kinda sad that you just end up accepting and let wash over you. Losing people sucks, no matter how you lose them, but it's a part of life for sure. Just gotta remember the good times and be happy that they happened.
today i learned that walfies does streams
Was wondering what the legend was doing all this while...
Its always a surprise to find your favorite artist did streaming, happens to be a lot
you should definitely tune it. they're very very comfy streams, reminiscent of Ina! Their audience is generally a who's-who of absolutely ridiculous people.
Like the other day I was watching and the creator of Vtube Studio, Denchi, was just chilling out and Walfie was embarrassing them 😆"is that THEEE denchi I see?"
Nah fr fr
Yeah he does. Like i knew 3 years ago, tuned in a bit and he did a lot of fishing streams lmao
Until he mentioned "Before Smol Ame was even a term" I had forgotten that we used to call them all walfie [character], walfie Ame, walfie Kiara, etc. I feel like the first time it was smol myth instead of walfie myth was that april fools 2021 stream.
I think she was called Chibi Ame, but I could be wrong
Ame is incredibly influential in the VTuber community, but Walfie is probably equally impactful, not just for VTubers, but on the internet. Ever used the Anime Bingo site? Walfie made that. The Walfas Touhou character creator? Also Walfie. Every fandom the dude has touched he's made a huge impact on.

i forgot walfie made walfas, fucking crazy that i went from one fandom to the other and he made an impact in both
He also made the Granblue-raid finder. I don't play the game, but it seemed like a big deal for when it was active. It's crazy he isn't even an artist full-time, but a software programmer. Dude is super talented.
Also chibis are made in his artstyle just for memes. That counts
honestly I can't imagine being Walfie. His simple design left a pretty. big impacts on english vtuber scene, to the point that there is an official smol Ame mascot was designed, crafted, worn and celebrated at multiple events. Like wtf
You know that concept where a time traveler moves a chair and that spirals into some huge change? That’s Walfie. Walfie is the chair.
@@holy_blade Time Chair Guy
It's like the second time this has happened to him too lmao. If you're familiar with Touhou he's the guy behind walfas
Walfie with Ame is almost like what Koefficient was with Coco. Found by chance and had a massive positive influence on their lives.
And Kana too. They've touched so many people's lives.
Uhhh Koe? Coco? Really? 😂😅
no it's not... -,-
coco is not koe thing. even in his early career.
we all just love the asacoco news. just that. and koe too. also the meme review.
@@DBT1007I think he meant how coco affected koe and changed his life
@@DBT1007 Koefficient has gone on the record saying that he wouldn't be where he is without Coco featuring him on Asacoco. As such grew from Coco reaching out to him, much like Walfie grew from Ame reaching out to him.
Coco influenced Koe, don't doubt her positive impact. @@DBT1007
I was hoping to hear from Walfie at some point before Ame left. He was such an impact on Hololive and sorta started the idea of the smol models for them just because his artstyles and animations were so amazing and cute.
man this messed me up all over again... walfie the OG of OGs...
Before Ame nobody uses smol versions of avatars so much, only png for some events. And now almost everyone have that, animated and rigged.
Walfie art made HoloEN iconic, I'm so grateful that Amelia reached out to him back then
I haven’t been sad at all since the announcement because I know that everything will be fine, BUT THIS IS THE ONE THAT MADE ME CRY???
Walfie the legend. Things won't be the same for vtubing industry without Smol Ame. From meme to 2D model to 3D model to VR model to plushies to big costume.
Ah man the onions haven’t stopped since her announcement :(
All but one
oh yeah, ame was the original holoen yapper. today that trophy is given to fauna, but I remember the original ame memes of "how the hell is she still alive?" 😂😂😂
The yap hierarchy goes from Ame > Fauna > Shiori > Cecilia

It is SOOO Ame to contact him the day of a big event for art she needed later that day. Always delayed, always last minute. That's the Ameway!
I still remember the april fool's collab they did where they revealed Smol Myth.
5:59 I held it together until this point...
With his and Ame's influence. I have seen a lot of Walfie/Smol versions of other Vtubers, not just Myth but outside that. It's.. like a ripple effect. It was an amazing time.
This year is a sad year...
We lost Mel
We lost Aqua
We lost Ame
The difference here is Ame is going to fade in the staff back ground
However from what's shown in hololive and holostars nowadays staff can now play video games and help in hand streams with the idols.
You forget a-chan
Two of them at least got to leave on their terms, and i'm happy about that.
Don't forget A-Chan too. That lofi and chill mix with A-chan in the background has been a staple part of my life for a while now.

I hope Walfie got some money for Hololive using his smol ame design for merch and advertising and stuff
"Designer: Walfie" appears on all of the Smol merch. I imagine he either gets royalties or he is paid a fixed amount for each design.
I guess this is the HololiveEn Myrh happy ending, bitter sweet but wow what a ride, remember the good times
Me too, Walfie.
Damn this hits the feels hard love ya walfie 💛💛💛 and of course Ame💛💛💛💛
Smol Ame had such a huge impact on Hololive. It showed everyone that fans can just as much have an impact on vtubing as the talents.
No way! I managed to get the smol Ame keychain from a gatchapon and I have been carrying it around with my bag ever since her announcement. Congrats for contributing a big part to her journey and all the best to your art career!

that's so sad.

#Ameway.
I didn't even know Walfie streams, thanks for this
The legend behind the smol ame
I wish I could give endless thanks to Walfie. They are such a legend and truly helped to shape what we all love. Smol ame!
Walfie is such a champ, he is reminiscing but being strong and heartfelt about everything he says, from first time viewer to one of thr most important parts of EN. Man is immortalized and left his mark in this world.
We were there, all of us... to witness her greatness. No matter the timeline, universe, any verse... She will always be the Amelia Watson we know.
Loved walfas work since his days making touhou art. So glad he gave us smol ame.
1:47 oh that the origin of it, i was always thinking on why she eat sand on this gif
So this is the guy who made Smololive? You have my utmost thanks dude!

The first artist and who created Smol Ame 🥰
Huh wait walfies has a youtube channel? & Stream? Thank for introducing me!!
Walfie Smol Ame is even more legendary becaude they are also THE Walfas that is literally that style of Touhou
it's basically an indefinite hiatus, but leaving room for collabs
"I don't know how I did it" what do you mean you don't know! Hahaha
Thanks for the clip

Un grande el Walfredo, no sabía que tenía su propio vtuber avatar y que hacía transmisiones.
Yo no lo recordaba como el creador de Walfas (esos avatares que después se volvieron parte esencial de los loquenderos)
I remember seeing them a bit but where it stuck out was Smol Ame raiding TH-cam HQ when Kiara got banned for no reason.I remember thinking it was such a perfect representaiom for her "RRREEEEEE" energy going a roaring rampage of revenge against Susan
seeing her boss in holocure will be a bit painful now o7
Behind every great VTuber is also a pretty great artist...unless of course said VTuber made everything themself in which case, awesome, but reaching out and asking for some help is awesome too!
It,s crazy how much of a similar experience I had to Walfie.
SMOL GOD! WALFIES IS SMOL GOD CREATOR OF SMOL!

Get ready for tomorrow
Touhou and Hololive is somewhat similar now I think of it...
true Ame ground pound is so good
idk what to say, but yeah...
early Holo EN, and Walfie..
can't remember Holo EN back then without including Walfie..
Ooh Bee Ame T^T
I miss line it stopped working a few years back. The only thing I used Line just to play Tsum Tsum
Normal Ame is just Smol Ame and Bee Ame in a trench coat and you can’t convince me otherwise.
Ame way💛💛💛
