speaking of people blowing up suddenly

what on earth happened to kagami marina in the last couple of days

oops i only just noticed that i accidentally copied the wrong link on one of the upcoming songs i posted

for when you get up to it, this is the actual cecilia cover
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6e2GqBWifs
(the other link was an azki song i wasn't planning on including. it's still pretty good if you wanna listen to it anyway)

also not that it really matters but i got the name of that chamomile tea group wrong. it's chamomile tea party

Chima Machita - Lilium (Elfen Lied opening theme): Im curious why Im supposed to hate this. Im positive Id despise Elfen Lied itself, but theres not really anything wrong with the theme itself... and songs with latin lyrics did rather well at the main ranking. 64 points.

i just made the joke because of the blatant religious undertones

i didn't realise that this came out on steam finally. neat looking game that was at a comiket a few years ago

i'm pretty confident the famicom detective club remakes were already known to be getting western releases, the only surprising thing was that they got trailers in the direct...

"pyroar and mothra"

and also severe resignation

which are the two most key aspects of my actual reaction

OH SHIT

caps

some pretty wild stuff in the jp stream i'm noticing

The next Smash goes the Pokemon Sword/Shield route and slashes 3/4 of the roster.

hopefully unlike sword and shield it wouldn't keep jigglypuff

Crono would be slick but I don't think it's as important as you make it out to be. The game is extremely well-regarded among RPG fans but honestly isn't very mainstream and has probably been played by a million people at most. Being on GameFAQs makes the game feel bigger than it is.

actually it's probably around 4 million at this point but eh

edit: oh i was way closer than i thought

Xiaomu from Namco X Capcom

totally plausible

how did magna carta manage to win a match, let alone against civ 4

actually, how did it even make the bracket

also pretty pleasantly surprised shadow hearts from the new world had a semi-respectable run. would not have expected it to get votes over either wild arms 4 or grandia 3, let alone put up an acceptable score on kh2

i'm not saying it won't happen but it feels a bit early in the year for botw2 news

Board Game Online is the only logical way

I can get behind this

gotta offset the amount I donated to them in the past somehow

by the way, here's some channels of interest if this happens

MetamoeTube
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqHhsPDG1LlnhvgIn4O9gHA
bordering on 10k subs, debuted over 2 years ago and also collabed with miyabi back when he was still allowed to (even though he was only getting around 10 viewers back then). sounds quite mature despite her avatar. the bard in the raids.

Saari Phoenix
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtxrtaVe57kTN6bZmVL0vNQ
a veteran player who made his stream debut when miyabi started streaming ff14. never formally collaborated back then, but showed up on one of the streams then in addition to the raid collabs since. an old guy with two vtuber avatars, he tends to use the endearingly bad ms paint-looking phoenix form in collabs. he's the party's scholar and, not being in the same guild, has been still playing extensively over the last month, albeit while also juggling playthroughs of FF7R and FF4 DS.

Aoi Len
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCitbZ4sJkt3bC7wLhuHagfA
another veteran player. also a veteran babiniku (person using a voice changer) vtuber who has been around long enough that her voice is rather convincing these days (i was pretty surprised pretty much nobody noticed even after 80 hours in the last raids). also the "daughter" of tomari mari. wasn't around before the collabs last year but a regular of them since. gets along well with metamoe and marina. her in-game name is Aoi Aise, she's the party's gunbreaker.

Mayuzumi Saku
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkbpNC0iUTEARs6c3f9ICzg
the true backbone of the team as a pretty damn good paladin as well as the general tactician effectively, saku's another veteran who also regularly appeared (but didn't actually collab) in the initial streams from about the 3rd one or so, originally debuting about a week after miyabi. he's been awkwardly passing the time over the last month with sporadic apex, ryza 2 and sakuna streams, and was the only one to do a simulwatch stream of the endwalker announcement stream besides miyabi and shien (they're pretty fun to put on together since they actually react in the same ways). underrated.

Katagiri Nagisa
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBIx1965q4ozoFzOjMXDMqw
the first of what you could endearingly call miyabi's ff14 party Gen 2, he's only been around since mid-september. since the collabs wrapped up, he's been insanely into granblue fantasy and has streamed it for roughly 250 hours so far this year (despite being too sick to stream for the last couple of weeks...). supposedly coming back to ff14 soon. not very experienced, but he was the monk in the raids.

Kagami Marina
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmaDYcJHNFrZ5Owuz-KM-Jw
vtuber seal/girl. she's only been around since october and is an honestly fun person to watch. a pretty mediocre healer though. very eager to collab with solca, though she's still busy sinking time into a number of other games. like saari, she tends to default to her non-human avatar in collabs.

Finally, one person I'm hoping resurfaces is
Sativa Inaho
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqa0PDmiugjAdywm73EQORA
actually the first person to collaborate with miyabi, a fan who followed him from debut. hasn't participated in streams since miyabi stopped being able to and hasn't been seen much since, but nevertheless holds the distinction of being the first person to collaborate with any holostars members on stream i'm pretty sure. Also on good terms with other members like aruran and rikka. his avatar's actually just a recreation of his in-game one which i always thought was neat. uses monk and dark knight mostly, currently a summoner.

At last, the final piece of the puzzle is in play
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWkgZ073190

Context here, Miyabi (who has something ridiculous like 20 thousand hours in FF14) hasn't been able to play, or at least stream, FF14 at all since Holostars was banned from doing so like a year and a half ago.

He decided to stealth "collab" with his friends on other channels every time new endgame raid bosses came out. Unfortunately though, the last time that happened back in mid-December, they took a full 80 hours streaming it and got caught. (which uh, may be my fault. i didn't share it here but i did on the Holostars discord fan server...)

Miyabi was then definitely no longer allowed to play so everyone else likewise decided to switch to other games like FF7R, PSO2, even stuff like GBF...

Recently though, right around the time of that endwalker announcement stream, Holostars finally got approval to stream it, opening the gates for not only miyabi but also shien to stream it, who has also been getting into it lately... But they haven't yet and i suspect that this was the reason why.

NolcaSolca was in Miyabi's raid group and free company (guild) and was the sole member that hadn't debuted as a vtuber yet. As of this evening though, this has changed, so obviously this opens things up that much further.

Either fairly soon or at the latest when Endwalker launches, I suspect there's going to be a lot of FF14 transpiring, which is pretty cool since Miyabi's vtuber raid friends are also pretty cool.

Prancing Dad is 11 years old now. And Cantata for Dancing is mostly split into multiple parts.

oh

either way i know anecdotally that it wasn't prancing dad since that was my third favourite when i first heard it (after the other two)

and it's still not cantata

whatever one it was, I want to say it was exactly 12 minutes and 45 seconds long?

sergiocornaga posted...

Was it Cantata for Dancing, or maybe Prancing Dad?

i remembered it was 10 years ago since it was before prancing dad, i remember that for sure

don't think it was cantata either since i'm confident it was 12 mins long

i had another idea of what it was (moAbi's arrangement of it), but that one was only 10 mins long...

if i remember right, black mages dancing mad is my second favourite dancing mad arrangement

i can't recall who did my actual favourite but it was about as long and existed 10 years ago. i had it saved on my dsi lol

green hill obviously has the more iconic name but actually yeah i agree emerald hill is just more otherwise

pretty sure i supported spiritual sky at least once, definitely a fan of it. put it on personal cd mixes and stuff because i like it so much, etc. but yeah it's the type of song that's hard to get a lot of people behind i think, but who knows what'll happen!

yeah i checked and realised the first year i tried for it it actually did nearly get in with you and fl81 supporting (along with xuxon)

it just never got a single support nom since then over the following 3 years and then i forgot to nominate it last year

emphasis on people

assuming at least that the anecdotes thus far reflect how everyone else also manages to at least remember it in noms (but never vote for it)

it's not even a song i try nominating because i expect any support, it's just because it's adjacent to most of my other noms that it's pretty much an obligatory pick that i want to finally give some exposure each time

but it seems it actually does have that exposure now, it just can't get in :(

also speaking of noms, if gokinjo battle hadn't been nominated the year it was, i was legit planning to nom gokinjo dungeon instead
unfortunate battle happened to get too popular for anything else from it viable a couple of months before noms then...

Toxtricity posted...

spiritual sky is one of those things that's been nominated so many times and has stood out to me every nom phase it's been nommed that i just assume it's been in

kinda like Nilin the Memory Hunter

:(

most of those times i get no support at all and when it does it never comes even slightly close to getting in

it's nice but also terribly depressing to now know people haven't been sleeping on it, they just don't want it in

also nilin got to be in some matches at least

kuro - Memory: ZERO: Not sure if Im supposed to click something by kuro, but this was the first song listed on the channel.

not really, i just mentioned it because it took longer than i would've liked to even find the channel in the first place. i didn't even know if he had a youtube channel or not until i finally noticed him in the comments

also i'm pretty impressed (in a good way) that a song with beats, explicitly made to be disorienting, is the one thing you liked there, especially when in the bms of fighters contest it was in, it got nothing but criticism (albeit mysteriously only from korean and chinese players now that i checked...)

FL81 posted...

Well I'll be damned, I just checked the spreadsheet and it isn't there

What happened is that I supported it in the past (and used it in a VGMGG) and somehow associated that with it actually getting in!

i wish it ever got in :(

anyway

but symbol forever young is there

a (cordless) non-mobile phone

somehow i managed to hear "handheld phone" just enough times in my life to accidentally associate it here

of course, immediately afterwards i mentally corrected to more conventional stuff like the ds, the vita, and then... the xperia play... there's pretty much no avoiding the impact of phones when it comes to handheld gaming now, huh.
