Deep down I just want to believe that whoever runs the Blue Journey account is just a massive Auntie and that's the reason Knight is included in the project.

ShibuHal was talking about his shrine visit with Pakael and Astel here. Pakael was the one who invited him and Astel was also briefly in his chat when he talked about eating together with them.

I love you, hardworking linkanon

>>47240269
Cute.

>>47240269
Will the purification work today for all of them?

I love and have pure hatred for Aruran

Astel's continuing his habit of going in when having no shields...

Anyone watching Rikka?
Did he have no gun when he died just now?

>>47240641
The wide open mouth portrait he uses for collabs is somehow irritating. That fake Italian is taunting me...

>>47240894
Possibly I wasn't watching closely but he just got respawned when his team got wiped.

>>47240838
Astel's thing is always being aggressive as fuck and skirmishing whenever possible. He keeps pressure on and therefore can snap up any kills or even wipes he can get but it's also his greatest weakness since it's constantly exposing him to danger and his teammates need to be able to help him enough when he bites off more than he can chew, which with his point costs is difficult. It's part of why everyone "hates" him since he plays so differently than everyone else and won't let them breath easily.

that thermite, what a bad rotation spot though, that was never gonna work

The death matches are fun, but participating in them makes Astel's head go empty for the rest of the day

Rikka champion!

Paka... stop doing so well during scrims... can you do well on the real day instead?

>>47241694
Yeah, they're currently stuck in a bad spot with how slow his teammates want to go and how fast Astel wants to go I think.

>>47241998
Hey, they were bad on day 2, then turned around from day 3. Rikka and Leo are just good, Pakael became better.
Can you believe Rikka can hear people approaching from miles away? His ears are OP.

I just want them to get some top 5 finishes so ashumi doesn't break down on the real day

>>47242114
Meanwhile Astel keeps running into the Seer sound bug. APEX 3150!

>>47242398
That's a problem for everyone, anon. Kusoge afterall.

>>47242398
EA doesn't give Respawn the budget to fix their game, please understand and buy their overpriced shitty cosmetics.

>>47240301
> Things you like

Cute.

Astel what the fuck was that

10 points btw

astel your chara con....

Mutually assured destruction between Towa and Astel there

>>47242976
>>47242956
>>47242941
I have only paka’s pov open, what did he do

>Ate a grenade
>Fucked up his positioning and character control
Man, if the thing Astel got exorcised was his player skill then it sure did fucking work.

Astel you down Beni, then just shoot Towa for like 20 damage and then immediately turn your back to Towa so she can just rail you from behind.

>>47243107
to be fair i would also like towa to rail me from behind

>>47243076
That grenade didn't show on his UI, I was just as confused as he was when he got blasted out of the ring by it.

>>47243107
>Towa railing Astel from behind
Maybe that was the plan all along.

>>47243048
chased after an enemy, climbed up the side of a cliff then proceeded to drop down and climb up the same cliffside while getting shot from the side

>>47243107
>turn your back to Towa so she can just rail you from behind
Hot

>>47243107
He had to either choose to chase Towa or turn on the other player closer to him, since she was running it could be assumed she wouldn't be an immediate threat like the other player was it made sense in the moment but he couldn't down the other fast enough.

I haven't been able to catch the other scrims (and should really go to fucking bed) but from the looks of it Astel still hasn't reached a synergy with his team yet, they're on different pages when it comes to speed, rotations, fights, etc. Am I right or is it just these few rounds?

>>47243107
To be fair, Chuna is higher priority target than Towa

>>47243532
you are right, they are completely off

>>47243532
Yeah, this might be the first time his team has not synced up this close to the touranment

Unexpected Meika win, feels like most teams have gotten a champion by now

>>47243677
Meika is fun to watch. Pacifist run at its best.

>>47243677
>most teams have gotten a champion by now
yeah...

So it’s paka team > axel team > gamma team = astel team in terms of team cohesiveness?

>>47243677 (Me)
did a quick tally
13/20 teams have gotten at least 1 champion during the main scrim rounds with NJD getting a champion during an extra round (Day 2 Extra Round 2)

I'm really rooting for paka/rikka/leo to win the whole thing
Would be wonderful if oldman got the win on his birthday and paka broke his jobbing curse

Paka got a bug again...

>>47244339
God thank they could fix this one.

Maybe Ashumi should try taking some hayfever meds.

>>47244150
>reid hasn’t gotten a single champion yet
Are aruse’s and hskw’s asses that heavy for him to carry to victory?

>>47244951
Maybe Ashumi should try taking some meds to boost her mental

>>47244681
Too late. That was fucked up just from the fact they got in too late.
He might actually be cursed.

Pretty tough spot for pakael’s team to be. They ended up dying to noah and mimitaya

>>47245033
he's gotten a lot of 4th places with 1 3rd place, he's not doing too good overall though
better than astel

>>47245143
The purification isn't working... At least they know the hot fix for this one now in case it happens during the main tourney. A viewer was tipping in Eden's stream about it since Lauren had the same bug before apparently.

TOP 2
THE HOPE IS REAL

That was very close.

>>47245508
>2 KP
lol

I really want Dekani9 to get in the top 10 but I'm not sure... The pressure is really seeming to get to Gamma.

>>47245613
Dekani9 more like Deki9 :^)

Watching Ko'one's live. It's both funny and sad how much shit the girls have at their disposal while the Stars, are somehow still struggling trying not to get cancelled

so for astel's team if astel holds back they do better in terms of ranking but they suffer in terms of kills?

>>47245770
Ratting in a house is a proven strategy after all

>>47245695
Medications

>>47245613
I’m starting to think that they are ngmi, especially with qpi’s weak mental

>>47245770
that's how it is, they can't rotate well or fight well or disengage well, so they have to take it slow and take less fights in order to get placement

>>47245816
>>47245952
I see, seeing astel go batshit insane is what made watching apex fun but I guess he can't do that anymore huh

>>47245770
Well they can't take any fights. The only thing they can do is bunker a house and poke from a long range.

>>47245952
>>47246058
Will Astel ever find a team that's able to follow his playstyle or did he doom himself forever with his grind to master?

>>47246048
He can if he has teammates who are can either follow up on his attacks or tardwrangle his ass before he does any risky moves. Sadly asumi and ars can do neither of those things

>>47246151
you can't really expect the average diamond to be able to follow him, so he'd need some point fraud who doesn't rank and is experienced with FPS and can just listen and pick up mechanics

>>47246151
Not for VSai. He's had better luck in other customs like CR Cup with Chuna/MOTHER3 and Kagayaki with Noah/Reid.

>>47246243
Sena's below the average diamond at this point
Kotone was actually pulling her weight last year

EA fix your goddamn game

>>47246327
Ashumi is... real shit at the game I don't know how, doesn't she play apex all the fucking time

>>47246048
Unfortunately you have to watch other teams then, anon. Fortunately Rikka's and Gamma's play aggresive.

>>47246327
Still waiting, hope against hope, for the MdM cover feat. Mondo they talked about in one of their scrims...

>>47246286
But those tournaments don't have point restrictions, right?

>>47246374
Playing a lot means fuck all if you don't know how to learn, especially in a team-based game where you can get your ass carried in ranked. You can log hundreds of hours in a game but still be complete trash.

>>47246327
She did great in this last round though?

>>47246286
>Kagayaki
still the most kino run I've seen, best rat to victory round I've ever seen

>>47246484
It aint happening
The talk about a cover was probably just a japanese thing

>>47246286
The two champions during CR Cup were glorious
Shame cheeky cucked them from getting in the Top 3 by hunting them on the last game and wiping their squad early

>>47246374
if playing a lot means being good all you need is to see ollie still in bronze after all these years

Why are their armors always so fucking shit, what a shitty spot

>>47246499
CR cup has restrictions. In fact, Hal based most of his rules and point system off of CR cup

Yeah I'm just gonna remove any expectation, go for the 16th place PC Astel

>>47246286
I accidentally clicked the home page and my recommendation showed me this...

Astel's tendency to want to play aggressively when his current team's not that suited for it...

>>47246632
They could've still had Top 4/5 if only Selly didn't decide to wake up and murder half the lobby during the final round.

>>47246956
Same. At this point I'm just looking forward to the afterparty.

what kind of play style can astel's team play? i think astel might do better if he just rat like a solo or something lol

>>47245033
Reid got his champion now!

>>47246956
For me, all the connections he made leading up to VSai was already a win. Placing in the tourney itself is a bonus

>>47247351
I guess Hoshikawa ass work better than temple purification

>>47247351
That Reid's team was just sandbagging the whole scrims run to fly under the radar.
No way Inu who got most kills last year dealt 100-200 average dmg per round.

Majin love!

>>47246956
Astels possibly having his permanent place in the FPS box after all the connections he made during this tourney arc is more exciting to me tbdesu.

https://youtu.be/rbS40KyL31c
Aruran Minecraft

There was no cover at all on Astel

>>47248513
It will only be permanent if he actually keeps collabing with the others after vsai is over

>>47248794
Sena used the cover for the team thats way farther to them than the one closer to them
TSN shouldve been free wipe there

>>47248513
He's been permanent since last year, anon. Everyone there knows Astel.
He just barely plays with the others.

>>47248926
now that he's not focusing on collabs with Holostars, he should definitely be more permanent in the FPS space.

When leo talks in english, he actually sounds like axel

>open Astel's apex stream
>teammates are dead
>close stream

Oh god ars doesnt really understand how seer's passive works

I actually cant watch this shit

GANCHAN CHAMPION!! They got second too last round!

kek the "Hizaki Gamma who?" team got killed by Gamma's team.

>>47250083
gan chan champion with zero damage lol

>1st place
>Gamma with 0 dmg and kills
Kek

>>47249923
Bad ults from Ars and Sena. Astel got really aggressive vs a digi scope Banga.

>>47250314
Understandable from his point of view, he literally cracked all three of the enemy squad while being healthy

This is just grief rounds. Go all out, grief everyone, and find Hal.

>>47250160
Nice

i want temmer to focus more on holostars so fucking bad, i'm glad it feels like he is finally doing it even if it took the ipo numberfaggery to make it happen

>>47250160
Still cant believe Naruse said that

>>47245695
As a koronesuki, sincerely: go fuck yourself

>>47245695

>>47250890
>Looks at last thread
>Deep down there are two kinds of aunties

>>47245695
At this point it's their fault for still being so insular almost 4 years since the branch was founded.

Why are you guys replying to a random schizo

I think the Holostars member should focus on “pleasing” the investors more by wearing more provocative clothing and acting more sexually to them. They should learn how to put condoms on dick with their mouth, and to be power bottoms

GANCHAN CHAMPION (N.2)

Rikka and Leo got Hal and AlphaAzur kek

Rikka's team killed ShibuHal and Gamma's team got champion. Nice.

>>47251306
stop being in denial and accept that cover IPO is doing bad things to holostars

>>47251244
>if you are unpopular for 1-2 years it could be bad luck
>if you are unpopular for 3+ years you are the problem
Many such cases, I can't disagree.

>>47251244
miyabi even become more recluse, missed the day when he randomly played FF14 with other chuuba

>>47250527
T for Temma

>>47251652
(me) I love my oshi to death but I can't help but feel like he had several chances at a bigger audience that he completely wasted.

Rikka got 30k yen kek

>>47251797
Who’s your oshi?

30000 JPY for Rikka and 10000 JPY for Leo. That was fun to watch.

Genuinely thought Dekani9 were fucked from the first round because everyone's mental wasn't great, but holy shit did they turn things around yes I know Ganchan got 0 damage in the 1st champion, but he kept watching, calling and giving mental support so he wasn't dead weight

Rikka got 30k yen superchat LOL

>>47251244
I feel they got too comfortable with what they have now and are just riding on the brand even though there's isn't much to begin with.

>>47251794
T for Tensai!

>>47251873
qpi and runa said ganchan voice help them enter "the zone"

>>47251858
Rather than that, lets just point out who doesn't waste their chance.
I would say Roberu, Astel, and Rikka from OG9.

>>47251652
>>47251721
>>47251881
There's a reason why Roberu and Astel are the top members of the branch. Holostars doesn't have the absurd audience Hololive has and the natural algo push due to their size, so being a "leech" and putting your name out there is the only way for them to grow save for a miracle, and if that didn't happen after almost 4 years I doubt it'll ever happen.

>>47251244
Sometimes I wish the stars managers actually did more than the bare minimum and actually encouraged the stars to do activities that could help them grow such as networking outside for example

>>47251881
I feel like that's just most of O9. Uproar and Tempus are definitely trying. Sometimes being an older chuuba makes you settle because you think you are "over the hill" and can't expect to have more than you already do.

>>47251394
I agree, they should also be taking poledancing lessons in order to learn how to move more seductively. Get them become good with the poles and you can make them do paywalled content, it should sell like hotcakes. Would be about time cover gets into sleazier side of entertaiment industry I say.

>>47252062
That short algo Roberu is trying to penetrate seems good to try too. They need to step up their tag game though.

>>47252062
You have 2 types of Holostars
>The ones that put everything into what they do
>The ones that openly treat Holostars as a side hustle they do besides whatever else they may be doing in life
It's not apathy, it's low priorities. The IPO might have changed that and forced the second group to care more in order to keep doing what they are doing.

>>47252221
who's in which group though

>>47251244
>>47251881
Tbf to them, it's not like their fans/community does much to encourage/motivate them to do stuff to grow more.
But, yeah, most of them really do not put much effort in actually growing their audiences and/or content.

>>47252192
Sometimes I wish shien actually committed to creating shorts because the ones he did in the past had fairly decent noombers (by holostars standards anyway)

>>47252401
Like oshi like fan, they got complacent and the starmin did too. Some of the starmin seem to prefer things this way (to be rudely brought back to reality after the IPO thing and the death of StarKore), and the others just seem to just not think much about growth.

>>47252462
the one where he summons a mace is still unreasonably hilarious to me

>>47252462
MaFia seem to be busy a lot and would have much to gain from making a lot of short form content.

>>47252549
How do you give suggestions to them again kek
Shorts algo is being pushed hard by YT, even on PC they'll pop up under recommended. It helps a lot for channel growth as long as you also play the tag meta game.

>>47252401
this makes me wonder which fanbases are the most brutally honest with their oshis

>>47252689
>How do you give suggestions to them
Red superchat

I wish Shien would put more effort in, I feel like he's just coasting on his model being sexy so he has more subs from that

>>47252689
Probably tags on the bird app.

>>47252724
That or make a jp tweet for them to egosa. Either tagged or untagged would work.

>>47252401
How the fuck would you encourage an Valo addict that declared he won't stream on yt anymore and insist on doing what is fun to him and hates being told what to do? There is only so much a fan can do and there are actually lost causes in Holostars.

When Astel said he had work yesterday and arrived late, he was actually vomiting due to stress but he didn't want to worry Ars and Asumi so he didn't tell them until after the stream. He's feeling better now

>>47251721
I remember one of them, Metamoe, also helped during one of Miyabi's 3D, but she already graduated now.

>>47252831
I'm sorry Nothing Anon, whatever curse once possessed Knight or Thief has left them and moved to the Shogun. The only options are to either wait and hope his opinion changes in the future or just accept that he won't get numbers.

>>47252831
Shin proved that persistence still can work on Izuru

>>47252360
NTA but here are my ratings and I expect to get countered, in no particular order:
>The ones that put everything into what they do
Astel
Rikka
Roberu
Aruran
Uproar (Uyu is debatable)
>The ones that openly treat Holostars as a side hustle they do besides whatever else they may be doing in life
Oga
Shien
Temma
And I'm adding another group
>The ones that seems to have this as their full time but is cruising along the ride rather than pushing themselves to grow
Miyabi
Izuru

>>47251721
Fue was in Miyabi's birthday stream this year in chat congratulating him and he told him he wants to play with him some time again. This will never happen and I don't understand why. I know Miyabi is super autistic about his own content but why does he insist on blocking off collabs with outsiders?

>>47252750
Even if I also wish shien would stream more often, I wouldn’t say he’s completely coasting off of his model alone given that he’s actually doing other management-mandated projects plus there’s the duet cover with rikka he just released and an upcoming song he’s been recording for

>>47252750
Sometimes I start to feel like he doesn't actually enjoy streaming. But I'm a schizo so that has more to do with me being menhera than anything.

>>47252689
Ganchan's had a short hit 880k recently and a fair amount of new viewers have popped into streams from it. It's always worth a shot.

>>47252834
I was worried about that. Sometimes I feel like people tend to forget about Astel's illness when he disappears for a day (including me), the stress ir really getting to him

>>47253004
that last group you added is probably the most fucked

>>47253004
What actually is Shien doing outside holostars? Is his rm even active?

>>47253098
It's ironic how they're the very first members to debut.

>>47252689
Probably best to ask them to make shorts by tweeting with their general tag

>>47253004
>Uyu is debatable
unironically what is Uyu doing though, I don't get how he thinks this could possibly work

>>47253013
>Cover got perm for FFXIV
>Miyabi won't play FFXIV with outsiders like he used to
I love Miyabi but... Why...

>>47253076
880k? That's insane

>>47253004
I like the Pizza Man purely because he never stops trying even though ge may not always be smart about it. The fact that he is surrounded by complicit people and he never gives up, even if he doesn't take off like Roberu and Astel did, is the right kind of spirit. Sometimes he numberfags too much but it's better than not caring at all. Sometimes I wish his attitude rubbed off a little on Hanakishi (and their attitudes on him, to balance him out).

>>47253114
My rrat is that he's part of management.

>>47253158
Uyu could be his own group, the 'absolutely does not care at all' group.

>>47253142
that's probably exactly why i imagine thy are blackpilled by now

>>47253158
We simply don't know.

>>47253217
Yeah, that's why I put him in the first group. I don't really his numberfagging behavior but I rather have 5 arurans than whatever the other two groups are doing if it meant they don't take off like him.
Because once you stop trying to improve yourself you die as an entertainer (I seem to recall this as a quote from robesan but I can't fact check it)

>>47253236
He was definitely Holostars staff in some way (Astel debut)

>>47253114
>What actually is Shien doing outside holostars?
I don’t know if this still applies today but I do recall him mentioning something in the past about doing part time jobs and watching streams during his break time
>Is his rm even active?
If you count tweeting about food or random shit once or twice a month then sure

>>47253142
Very likely that's exactly the reason why they are like that. They probably reached much more already than they ever expected to and don't expect much more to come, especially not after the IPO bullshit.

>>47253004
are any of the people who put "money" as their most important thing in Aruran's game in group 1?

>>47253412
Shien and tweeting about food, name a better duo, I know I can't I love your food tweets bossu please don't eat pancakes with dressing instead of cream

>>47253412
I really am genuinely proud and appreciative of how hard Shien always seems to work and how much he loves Holostars, plus the dates he goes on and food posting is cute ngl

>>47253004
Whatever management told the knight must have scared the shit out of him because all of a sudden one day he tweeted out how much he loves his fans and seems to be putting a lot more effort into doing things ever since (Birthday project, listening to fans, actually doing shit his fans have been wanting him to do for a while, planning to revisit fan favorite content like Minecraft or Eigo, revamping memberships, etc). He does still need to more networking though.

>>47253533
I hope we get to see the results of his supposed hard work in some way soon.

>>47253114
Probably whoring his slutty ass out for cash to buy expensive stuff

>>47253648
kek

>>47253594
>rrat: because he wants to move out and live by himself he will need the money and can't afford to skirt by anymore

That short algorithm thing is genuinely a real thing to put effort in. A lot of people took off from that, like cooking videos or random trivias, then they make longer videos to supplement and voila the people will stay.
It's much better than going around scheduling collabs because by adjusting your tags you bring the people to you instead of the other way around by collabing (and those people might not even click your channel).

>>47253807
How do tags work on shorts? How could stars take advantage of them? I am small brain

He doesn't do FFXIV collabs cause he worries too much about viewers not wanting to watch him play it.

>>47253257
>>47253416
yeah they are probably happy that they didn't shut the whole branch down and that's good enough for them.

>>47253594
On hanakishi radio he had said the day he tweeted "out of this 3 years, this year I feel the strongest I should cherish my fans" was because he was reading the newspaper and checking the money exchange rates, saw the yen losing value and randomly thought "wow my fans have been working hard to buy goods, should be more thankful"

>>47253204
He's not sure why this one in particular has gone that big, but I'm happy it's brought more people in!

Hard to say, I feel like most Holostarmin want to say something harsh but truths to their oshis, but they’re afraid of other fans calling them “haters” or something like that

I fucking wish Familiaran pushed a bit harder on bringing Arupapa back or at least have Aruran use the model occasionally

>>47254052
>yen losing value
why would that affect the JP anuties from buying his goods? In fact this is good for kaigai aunties now that Japan goods are realtively cheaper to them now.

>>47253594
> the tweet
what the other anon said >>47254052
> listening to his fans
That's because ichioshi talk is a more direct channel to request stuff from him. It was the same last year, he organized more stuff that was requested by people who came to his ichioshi talk.
I'm not denying that he's been working harder lately, and I'm glad about that. Just that your reasoning might not be it when it come to the Knight.

>>47254201
Knight is a stonksfag he is always looking at the economy and thinking about saving money. From what I can tell Kaigai aunties go just as hard as JP aunties do so he will be getting his merch bought one way or another.

>>47254052
>>47254264
Thanks aunties I can always rely on you to give me correction when it comes to Temmer

>>47254165
I think he can't use it. He literally got yeeted off his official talent page and likely lost access to the model as well. His old model pretty much got terminated.

>>47254201
It means inflation which results in every other cost getting more expensive. Some talents have been pointing out that their electricity bill is crazy high now.

>>47254411
Easy solution, make a new alternate model that looks visually similar to the old Arupapa model, or at least references it. Mow that the dust has settled (kek) I think more people were sad that the old model is completely gone instead of hating the new one.

I've seen so many times good fan suggestions just shrugged off, interesting idea he talks about never brought up agsin, or majin doing the fan suggestion but halfassing the execution (because he generally streams with no plan whatsoever) so many times that i don't entertain idea of giving him constructive criticism anymore. Just gonna watch him talk his talks and play whatever game he feels like playing and act cute in 3D, no reason to stress about him.

>>47253859
Basically put big tags under your description so your shorts (or streams even) also get categorized into that tag.
I'll use Roberu's recent kawaikute shorts as an example. He put
>#shorts
>#ロベルないとめあ
and
>可愛いくてごめん on title
So it automatically get categorized in with other kawaikute shorts and Roberunightmea. But Roberunightmea fans is already watching his content, there's no need for these shorts except for fansa. He could add tags like #ダンス or #dance so it gets recommended to people who watch TikTok style dance shorts and get new eyes on him.
Another example is Shinri's new short, just look at his tags on description and you can see it's barebone hence the low traction. Should've put #phasmo, or #horror, or whatever big tags that already have bigger people using it.
Then you have meta tagging, but I'm not exactly knowledgable on that.

>>47253594
>Whatever management told the knight must have scared the shit out of him

Management told him that he’ll get double penetrated in the ass this week if he doesn’t satisfy his fans

>>47254730
Majin needs to spec more into being the FG fag, since he is halfway there. Join tournaments or some shit. Oe go the Gamma route and lean harder into making art, just doing zatsus forever isnt going to cut it (but the subtitles are genius since he is eigo dekinai). Also if he ever gets over what happened with programming video games he should make a Holostars fighting game.

>>47254411
Ah shit forgot about how Japan is an import nation. Hopefully the kaigai fanbases can get more to compensate the loss from the JP side.
>>47254512
Just get the old arupapa back, but have him come back with battle scars with epic armor (hint: an excuse to upgrade l2d and 3d model so he doesn't have a deformed nose anymore) and have him talk about ahow he defeated the monsters in that parallel world. Cue in moment where arupapa said arunii can go back to his world now, but arunii doesn't want the fun of being in holostars to end and they come out with a way that allows them to swap with each other at anytime they both wishes to. Depending what aruran wants as his main model he can use that as usual but now he can do swapping with the other model and roleplay with himself at any moment.
cover if you reading this just grab this idea and roll with it

Actually fucking KINO and I will instantly forgive EVERYTHING if that happened.

>>47254897
If they cut the budget though, they won’t do that

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikT-kc10h2A&t=19039s
Some Niu talk at the end. She and many other people got worried about Astel yesterday, she sent him a message asking him if he was alright. When he heard she was considering graduating, he reached out to her and decided to make many people check her out. He thinks she's really talented and cute and that many people will be healed if they watched her streams
Hal told Astel he and Niu had good stream synergy when they went out today. He thought Niu was also a monster and is glad she found somewhere to let it out

>>47255313
>the budget cuts are because of aru's new model, and because of the failure to make enough money back they cut starkore and other things
we should bully arunii more...

>>47255313
Make it a milestone goal, that will really pump up the numbers kek
>"If I reach 200k you will get Punished Arupapa"

>>47255424
Thank you Astel. I love Niu.

>>47255424
>When he heard she was considering graduating, he reached out to her and decided to make many people check her out
Astel really is a saviorfag…

>>47255313
pull a seaweed and just hire someone outside to do it, he probably has the connections

>>47255642
But does he have the money for it?

>>47254730
Maybe it's my schizo brain talking right now but sometimes I wonder if he's even worth my time, is he taking me for granted? I don't even feel that horny for him anymore.

>>47255424
Based Astel.

>>47255642
aruran is a poorfag not a disney prince like astel

>>47255695
schizos are so egocentric they really think everything is about (you) kek

>>47255565
PUNISHED PIZZA MAN

>>47255695
>>47254730
he won't do anything drastic as long as the juice keep taking time from him. granted that it basically printing money. heck pomekoro is a palette swap of one of the character

>>47255789
At start was fun but then I realize I've been watching the same streams since 2021 with the occasional 3D stream always hoping he'll change or start releasing more covers I feel I'm watching him more as a compromise thar anything.

>>47256083
At least be active on your RM then it's not fair.

>>47254165
>Hanamigumi
Coddling 100%
>Nothing gang
Know that Shogun does whatever he wants so they let him
>Familiaran
Very blunt about what they don't like even if they get called antis for it, but they still come back
>Tuners
Actually just vibing, happy when Rikka does something he enjoys or finds success in
>Astellas
Blunt and clear about things, since Astel does a lot to cater to his fans they are encouraged to give as much feedback as possible, plus he egosas too much to keep any secrets.
>Kishimen
Simultaneously a bit coddling (praising everything Knight does, practically worshipping him) and very honest and forward about what they want from him (they know he's too autistic so they have to be blunt/direct for him to understand what they want).
>Regulars
Fucking savage. They never hold back.
>Bukas
A bit schizo in private but praise Shien constantly.
>Omaesans
Too horny to function, any criticisms they have are neutralized by horny short circuiting.
That's O9

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if some of the stars were actually parasocial for their audience like Kanata, Lamy, etc. Would they have actually performed harder than they are doing right now if they always feared losing their viewers to another member or vtuber?

>>47256218
new dlc characters wouldn't draw itself anon

>>47256383
It would have been worse probably only would gave isolated them further. The meta just isn't the same for them. Or they would have gotten a bunch of horny Chinese fujos that they lost as soon as the happening took place.

>>47252401
I keep seeing this sentiment but I also honestly don't know what more is expected of fans to do, for many fans do already drop suggestions, go along with the things they want to try and show up for it, hanamigumi reminding one another to rewatch Miyabis vlogs and encouraging him to even buy the camera in the first place comes to mind.
The group also has a fair amount of english clips for the size of the fanbase.
Between permissions and limited ability to do the bigger things they want to do what do you expect fans especially jops to do more of?

>>47256163
Stop watching him then, he's clearly not the person that you want him to be. Focus your energy on other vtubers who are more in line of what you're looking for instead.

Finished Vesper's first Return of the Obra Dinn vod, it's nice to see how interested he got in the game

>>47256163
Honestly just get a new oshi anon you sound like an old housewife in a loveless marriage

>>47256522
It was a good run.

>>47256163
I agree with the others. You’re just wasting your own time and energy at this point. Find a different oshi who will cater to your wants and needs instead of someone who you know will never change

>>47256503
>>47256563
>>47256740
What the fuck I'm gonna do with my merch then?

>>47256855
Keep it if you want to or get some money out of it.

>>47256855
Keep the ones you still like then sell the rest on ebay/mercari/twitter

>>47256855
You can also try taking a break from him, absence makes the heart grow fonder! And sell some merch that you don’t really like or make your happy anymore.

>>47256489
Here's a productive answer, more fan content. More art, games, animations, creative projects, MEMES. And not jusy cutesy shit, that won't go viral. Make cutesy things if you want (there will always be a place for that and it belongs in a community like this) but it only appeals to the people who are already fans.

>>47257104
(Me) This is because you want to create the appearance of a "fun and lively fanbase", and make newfags feel like they are missing out by not getting more into the Stars and participating in thst fanbase. FOMO is a powerful social force.

>>47238485
Are they actually in the project, I don't see their names on the article?

>>47257202
this is a somewhat stupid example but think about how many people got into yugioh just because they watched little kuriboh's abridged series. that series is probably directly responsible for a huge number of kaigai fans getting into that specific kind of card game autism.

Jesus christ, I'm never posting anything remotely negative about my oshi again, honestly thought that was a pretty solid "eh i've made peace with the fact he's like this, it's whatever", not intending to set a schizo off.
Majin doesn't take his fans for granted, he tells omaesans good morning every single day, he likes every art on his tag, retweets them, he remembers his fans names and icons, and reads every supa he gets out loud, though the cut he gets from those is pocket change. He does lot of zatsus, because he enjoys talking with his fans. He commissioned a goddamn omaesan 3D model too. Stars may be a side hustle, but he obviously likes this side hustle and his fans very much.
Just think that maybe he's got concentration issues and many irons on fire, he's Just A Guy.

>>47257045
I'm just gonna do that, I don't wanna leave him maybe I just need to act like an adult and vibe with the content he makes.

>>47256163
Who actually is your oshi? You don't seem to like him much...

>>47257528
Anon I'm sorry to tell you but almost anything you post will somehow set a schizo off even if it's positive

>>47257528
Let the schizo schizo it out. It sounds like they really needed to. But you’re right

>>47257528
> he's Just A Guy.
worse, he's an active game dev meaning he actually doesn't have much free time

>>47257433
so we need more starkore memes?

>>47256378
>praise shien constantly
not a buka, don't like his content tbdesu, but it feels like every buka I see is practically yume with how in love with him they are and how much they won't criticize him

Fuck off with your rm bs. I hate it when his dev thing gets mentioned off-handedly in every random post about him. I fucking hate that anon that leaked it to fucking 4chan out of all places years ago.

>>47257680
Cannot deny. As much as I schizo in private and here, I have no balls to give him any public criticism (even constructive ones).

>>47257814
>anon get mad like a clockwork
positive, bait still work great like always

>>47257910
same, though if anything I'm worse, I don't even schizo I actually just really like him, I'd love to see him grow more for his own sake but I want him to be happy more than anything because... yeah I'm kind of an idiot I guess so I don't have anything to criticise other than I miss him sometimes when he doesn't stream

>>47257680
I’m a non-yume buka and while I do try to be rational about both his good points and his shortcomings, I can’t really post it in public because I have no idea how to even word my critiques in a constructive, non-threatening way in jp

>>47257104
Things like that going viral are extremely up to chance especially when it comes to memes, but I understand.
I also think a lot of meme humor is shit but humor is subjective.
I think fancontent will usually stay among fans or on twitter but this view is probably because Ive never had social media causing me to check out something new.
A lot of fans creating the content currently are OLs. in fandom, once they reach that age they usually want to quietly create things and stay in their lane which is also an issue in this case because the size of the fans is already small.
To answer myself I do wish there was more of a push for all fans to comment after streams, its one of the things I never understood and has always been an issue, cant even say eops scared off japanese commenters since there were never that many.
Its an issue that I feel like you cant just throw fancontent at as a response even though I agree with what you are saying.

>>47255424
ASTEL NIU LOVE

>>47258043
I feel like even if someone could word their critiques in a constructive, non-threatening way, some other fans might still perceive them as an anti. (or just "not loving your oshi enough")

>>47257587
Anon, follow the reply chain…

>>47258531
Yeah that too… I kinda wish the stars would permanently open their maros or even do maro reading streams so that anybody could send their requests or critiques about their oshi without it being linked to their name

>>47258695
Making burner account is easy you know

>>47259076
It's still easy for people to target this aside from the ones who'll call you out for using a new account.

Last post before I fuck off for the night:
Would it be beneficial for the lesser clipped stars to hire their own clippers and post clips on their own channels or would content like that hurt their growth and algo push even more? (See: meika, haneru, fuwa for examples)

>>47259213
A bunch of twitch streamers do that and post clips on youtube. Unless the algorithm is built to fuck anyone doing this I don't see why shouldn't they try out outside of obvious budget constraints or Cover being retarded and not allowing them to do it.

>>47259076
A burner account will probably be automatically dismissed unless you put effort into not making it look like one or it wasnt too new. I wish there were more anonymous options to reach out as well.

>>47256855
Give it to me

I want to see my oshi use a dildo masturbate and jerking himself off at the same time.

>>47257923
Omaesans don't get to complain about their oshi's menshi content getting leaked when they leak rm info to matome sites for the antis.

>see obvious bait post last night
>hide it
>go to sleep
>wake up
>enormous fucking chain of hidden replies
god I hate you fuckers

>>47259436
Astel said it's difficult to make official clips because all resources used by the hired clipper have to be okay for commercial purposes and that has to be checked and might result in additional costs. There is a benefit in unofficial clips moving in the grey zone of derivative works which is why Astel relies on his fans in that regard.

>>47260770
Then just use their streams? The absolute majority of clips are pretty bare bones outside of subtitles so I don't see why just using the streams would be a problem.

would oreapo shipper really jump on me if i drew kamilisa art?

>>47261501
wrong thread anon

>>47261446
Resources means fonts and sounds anon.

>>47261551
fuck now icant post this on vspo thread

>>47261446
He's referring to things like the font used, sfx, BGM, etc.

>>47261553
>>47261620
There's probably a bunch of fonts out there that you don't have to pay to use them. As for sfx and bgm, again, the absolute majority of clips are bare bones and don't have any of those. Unless they also have to have perms to make a clip of them playing a game they were playing on that stream, which I find stupidly unlikely considering I've never heard of mass copyright strikes of clips not by the ones being clipped but by the rights owners of the games that were clipped. Honestly this sounds more like Cover's laziness of not willing to put in the work to see if it's doable so they just give the talents some half-assed answer to make the shut up. It happens a lot with EN.

>>47261446
Maybe copyrighted stuff? Astel uses some refferences from manga/anime and some clippers add that image, makes their clips more funny. Jap never allow fair use.

>>47257360
My best guest is that the stars were part of the project, it seems to have been on development for quite a while, so maybe once the Budget cuts came they took the stars out of the project and put Holos instead to maximize profits

>>47262306
I am just relaying what Astel said though not in full length and I believe him when he says it's difficult. He said it from his perspective of what's legally possible as a corpotuber and might not even have asked management in the first place, not that he needs to. It definitely is legally possible but as you know the talents have to pay it out of their own pocket and when you add that factor into it it may or may not be a good investment when there are also other things they could consider investing in then it's definitely not a high priority.

>>47262672
Just do TL notes then? Again, that what a lot of clppers already do.

>>47263006
I still fail to see what are the legal problems of them making their own clips compared to letting fans do them themselves. It makes no sense that a bare-bones, direct from the stream clip with some subtitles with a free use font would cause them any problems and this reeks of Cover being lazy and not wanting to do more work even if it would be the talents themselves that would supervise this.

>>47252834
He also said he talked to them after the stream and cried so his stress is all gone. Hopefully things will only go up for them. I remember in Vsai2 he told us about one team that was having a rough time and almost quit but they got a champ and it turned things around for them. I don't remember which team it was, but I hope they get their moment like that.

>>47264232
As I said it's Astel's perspective. It's simply that none of the talents is putting in the effort in to make clips for their own channel so there possibly isn't even a problem at all outside of money.

>>47259213
Astel already tried that and all of his clips got shit numbers

>>47258531
>or just "not loving your oshi enough"
That's so fucking dumb, goddamn.
