Aqua is BACK at APEX and she's ON FIRE! - Champion 12 Kills FULL GAME 【ENG Sub Hololive】

[@TemjinZero]

I'm extremely glad she is playing again, and I'm really glad she feels comfortable enough to play again. I just don't want to see her harassed again by trolls.

[@exxell]

Is that why she stop playing for awhile? Like one year like she said?

[@xuanhuy6735]

@@exxell Yep

[@Zcee]

havent been into hololive that long but i heard about this before. Why did apex specifically make her a target for trolls?

[@disinque6961]

@@Zcee im not sure if this is related, but like a long time ago aqua went to tw server to avoid stream snipers in jp server, but the playstyle in tw server or other chinese servers is really aggressive while jp, plays extremely safe, and one time aqua left her teammates alone and ran away, then some irrational people in the tw apex community, started harassing aqua on her stream, but this is just known by the chinese hololive fans, so im not sure if its the case that stopped aqua from playing apex Idk bout other stuff as im not too familiar with aqua's channel, not my main oshi

[@TubeofDestiny]

@@Zcee Her social anxiety means she is not comfortable with communicating with her squadmates, even when they're fellow Hololive members. She still tried to communicate before, she wish she could, but it makes her hesitate for everything, and feel troubled when someone misunderstand her, it's just not fun at all for her and doesn't actually work. So she went back to her "Sololive" game style, where she follows her squad but won't coordinate much with them, which makes high level play (where she is) significantly more difficult since it rapidly becomes all about synchronizing ability uses. Then some people, likely not knowing her condition, watched her stream and misinterpreted the situation when she didn't coordinate and rescue some squadmates. These viewers then started regularly spamming her live chat, accusing her of being selfish, or carried by the other players, that she was ruining Apex for others, and similar awful claims - until she could no longer enjoy playing Apex on stream, even if it's her favorite game. Hopefully these people have stopped focusing on her and she will be able to play Apex again on stream. Such is the life of someone with difficulties when communicating with strangers: even if she cares a lot about her squadmates and people in general, she has trouble expressing it and some people can misread that as being inconsiderate, which is simply untrue - but it still happens and only adds up to her existing communication difficulties.

Man, Aqua is really dedicated. If people wanna see her action, then it's better be when she's at her best and that's basically what she's doing. Amazing.

[@jshcalebchang]

Apex is one of those games that looks so fun when Aqua and other Holomems stream it, but it's so hard to get into since I've never played an FPS game before, let alone battle royale. Consistently dragging down two randoms every game feels so bad too lol (even if they're not toxic and understand that you're new). Thanks for the TL / highlights ! So nice to see Akutan play Apex again but without all that stress she put on herself last time.

[@azuneyukirito8972]

I agree, I felt like crap when I started fps games.

[@YoshiChao850]

"but without all that stress she put on herself last time" lmfao she's specifically going for the exact same goal as last time though, so she might end up stressing the hell out of herself again

[@ryofsun]

Yep, I'm the exact same could never get into FPS games or battle royales, only recently felt like I've made some progress in Halo Infinite

[@Shakukirai]

if you died because you were outgunned or out maneuvered, dont beat yourself up especially on the beginnings. Apex is less toxic and the fact that you're in and out of the lobby straight away means you can play without having your mental dragged down the mud when you got stuck in nearly 20 rounds of hell like in valorant or csgo with bad teammates. like many shooter apex have many newbie guide on youtube like simple 1v1 tips so you can ignore most of other tutorials for now if you're not used with the abilities clusterfuck in first person (ill just assume you either play moba or mmo or fantasy-type game) you can start with some free2play class based shooter like destiny/warframe/paladins to get used of the skills or chuck our some money and buy overwatch coz despite being a dying game theres still a lot of people playing. There's a reason why most Apex streamers now were once overwatch pro players like Spygea, Ta1yo, Selly, Mande and PVPX

[@NicoCueas]

Aqua inspired me to play Apex. I'm not so good at shooters and I had the same feelings as you of dragging down my team, but everyone (or almost) sucks in Apex at start. The pace of the game is really fast, and your first games will last just a few seconds, but the adrenaline it gives you is very enjoyable. Apex is not a shooter you need a super aim to play well (at least at the start), you can overcome enemies in a lot of ways, flanking, dogding, baiting, using the field for your advantage, even giving flying kicks, so you have always a lot of possibilities more than giving headshots like in other shooters. I recommend you to give it a try. When you get your first champions is really really satisfying.

[@RazzySensei]

That two headshot with the Kraber and a hipfire Krab to end that squad was just chef's kiss. Truly amazing..

[@Geekomaniac08]

Thats finger licking good

[@aprilia559]

It’s actually insane how much better she is at apex now. She was solid before, but she’s actually on another level right now. She just cleaned through all of platinum like it was nothing. Inspiring shit

[@DoozyyTV]

Super nekomimi gamer idol is back and stronger than ever. I haven't felt this happy watching a stream ever. I'm so proud of her, she was so nervous and still performed so well. Watching her make such an epic comeback like this is truly special after waiting for a year and thinking will she ever play on stream again. Put tears in my eyes. I have no doubt she'll get to masters this time as long as stream snipers don't ruin it, but she's set precautions and will probably set a delay when she reached high diamond so I think it'll be okay. 2022 is Aqua year, for both Apex and Minecraft, really looking forward to it all.

[@mystrunner5166]

Listeners and Clippers having a field day when Aqua came back to gaming. Missed this so much! Glad she's back from that bog she had from last time the stress kept piling up into bad levels, failing Master challenge, losing the 2nd HoloMarioKart, Antis attacking her causing her to disable comments and/or live chat. It was hell, so glad she recovered.

[@MikaHolic_Channel_OFFICIAL]

my god, almost 10 months of barely playing Apex after her nightmarish run last year. We all thought she'd given up (well she did said here she almost quit), but thank goodness she didn't. 10 months, and YET, as we have seen today, Aqua is still *GODLIKE* in Apex!!! I almost screamed in joy when she got that Champion win in the very first match, and absolutely demolished everyone there. It was GLORIOUS. She still got the moves man, its almost like she never really left Apex haha Welcome back to Apex, Akutan! The Queen has returned to reclaim her title haha

[@OfficialAelysian]

Why'd she stop actually?

[@MikaHolic_Channel_OFFICIAL]

@@OfficialAelysian a multitude of factors. she failed her run last year after so much effort and hardship (and she was so close), got sniped to hell by trolls/antis/salty apex players, and the overall experience contributed to her hiatus shortly after, as she suffered physical, emotional and mental health issues. Good thing is she is largely recovered and is now back in the game.

[@holoyume]

@@OfficialAelysian She pretty much explains it in the first 3 minutes of this clip. At that time, she felt like she didn't have the skill, time and stamina needed to reach Master tier. So, she trained for almost one year (she never stopped playing, but I understand that MikaHolic made the comment before watching the clip) and now, she feels confident to go for it. Basically she stopped streaming it to go into full training arc and get back strong enough to complete the challenge.

[@trysephiroth007]

She stopped streaming it but didn't stop playing the game.

[@broham99]

Lets GOOO! I missed her Apex streams, gonna have to watch the vod later

[@Skelyos]

Man I am excited, I remember the last challenge & just watching her play then was what got *me* addicted to Apex!

[@rolandb]

I played Apex when it first came out on console. I never saw the dawn of season 1 before I quit for overwatch since more friends played it. I remember when I first got around watching hololive I used to see clips of Aqua destroying on Apex (namely that one clip when a random streamer helped her without knowing who she was). Those combined with other holomems streaming Apex got me interested in trying Apex on PC again after so long and I got hooked. I played almost every chance I got for two seasons. After these two seasons I can't really say what happened but if something I achieved the goal of solo queuing to Diamond IV that I set when I started. Then I just quit. I felt the same way as Aqua was talking about in the beginning of this clip. I guess what I'm trying to say is that Apex can be really fun but can be straight up soul draining if you're playing with no goal in mind. I guess this was Aqua with her Masters grind that she over-exhausted herself for but she never got - which must've felt really bad for her. I'm glad she's back and can stream the game again if she still feels like it has more to give her.

[@kurofire6473]

I remember I really liked to watch her apex streams even if i didn't know what she was talking, it was just entertaining to watch her. I was really sad when she received toxic comments for just playing a game, happy to see her coming back and more important still enjoying the game off stream.

[@uselesscommodity9634]

She's legit cracked man. I'm glad Gamer Maid is back.

[@KZNer_Drag0n]

This was the first livestream of her playing apex that I watched live… Her skills are insane.

[@Kamodomon]

She almost solo'd the first two teams fights. She really did practice a lot off stream. DAAAAMN that was a good game.

[@karmunlee8772]

the way she think that "team mate is important you need to make sure if they have good supply", "i thought bh will abandon me" just give me so much emotional. i watch aqua since 2020, she played alot apex that year. so before her latest apex stream i was watching her previous apex stream, the way of her decision thinking and skills are seriously changed, really proud of her orz (last time people said aqua tend to abandon her team mate it not a good move since apex is a team work game, the reason i gave her was she playing solo and it hard to get high rank if you dont have a good decision to save your team mate or not, but now look at our onion, she became so much mature now thanks to the people who look into her apex stream, i guess that must made onion happy :,)

[@vantasethatsit9903]

She is so good and considered to her teammate that after the first big fight she feels like impromptu leader of the pact, the 2 other guy followed her without a doubt.

You can find a lot of old apex clips when aqua tried to solo to masters a while back, though she hasn’t streamed much apex since that season.

[@justawanderingvegetable4847]

She is the Best Apex player in Hololive afterall, she has both exceptional aim and game sense. If only Botan goes back to playing apex, but then again that’ll never happen most likely.

[@rush2392]

Thank you for the translation! Watching this stream really hits because Aqua was the first one that has got me hooked into apex. Seeing her grind this game makes me also want to push and strive as much as her. The fact that she got to diamond 1 (highest? correct me if I’m wrong) solo is already impressive enough. Hopefully when she is more comfortable, she could join tournaments, would be really cool to see that content 😆.

She’s a really good apex player but she’s not became popular because of that tho, she always have that tryhard gamer attitude in any competitive game she play, she do a lot of speedrun.

[@onemoretime428]

I really happy to see Aqua playing Apex again, hope she will reach a Master rank this time For those of you, who want to start playing FPS games, here are some tips from one of your kind (i've started playing Apex just 1 year ago, never played FPS games before): 1. Tune your effective DPI (mouse DPI * in-game sensitivity). Something around 3 000 eDPI is probably a good start, for those who never played FPS before. Eventually you will decrease eDPI over time and your aim will become more steady and consistent. 2. Learn weapon recoil patterns at Firing range: R-301& Volt (in Apex) is most easy to learn and use effectively in fights 3. Play Arena matches. This will help you to improve your gun fights way more faster than BR mode, just because you will spend all your time fighting, instead of looting 90% of a time to just instant death from a random squad. 4. Do not rush Ranked, just play casual matches and learn the map. Go for ranked when you are confident 5. Don't flame the others, this is just a game

[@blaqstar]

One of the reason why i watch hololive year ago is their apex stream. Towa/Aqua/Matsuri grew up alot in terms of movement/decision making/gunplay especially Towa who been competing tournament with bunch of preds No scope kraber from maid sama really put her to the spotlight of why she one of the best
