You know what, i don't even mind if startend don't get a good placement at the tourney. I'm satisfied with big name players and coaches recognizing Aqua as a serious threat throughout these scrims.

thats kinda sound like you undermining towa and suisei. tbh suisei is the real dark horse in this tourney.

I hope they do their best and win it. No such thing as downplaying.

[@irfanalfian8164]

I want Startend to win. If only for Towa to stop feeling the pressure. They should just have fun, but winning 1st is preferable

I think it's not wierd that she's hidden , this is her first tournament XD

[@rainscents]

What he means is vtuber community didnt really bring her name up until today, i think mainly because she just rechallange the solomaster and immediately joining vsaikyou. Before, ppl only know Aqua who failed at reaching solo master. She came back stronger and bigger.

Aqua is an introvert she didn't even want to join any tournaments at all tbh unless people she knows joined her team

[@justawanderingvegetable4847]

Saw all these from a Japanese Clip last week, I understood what they were trying to say that time but didn’t really know exactly what they were saying word per word. thanks for translating!

[@yamiRic]

This is all I wanted actually.. I don't care if they win any round or not in tournament but the fact that she has traumatized the whole lobby with her aggressiveness is enough. People will remember her for long time and it is confirmed that she is actually good. The other mystery is probably how good Botan is in APEX.. imagine..

[@Salty010]

She had skill but the thing is botan already mention when she going competetive play she gonna be on serious mode and lots and lots training and dont want to hold back her team, but for now she dont want to and choose to be laidback and enjoy other game, other her pass comment already indicate she had that past experience competetive fps game and just now retired and focus being casual fps idol, still even no training her fps skill terifying for real😅

[@Jeff_Saber]

If what the chans are collectively saying is true, then it isn't really beyond imagination that VGori at full, CPT, Mondo and Hal at 80%, are Botan-level.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

@@Salty010 That makes me think that Aqua + Botan would do a pretty good team to do some competitive Apex. No holding back there. But understandable that Botan wants to be more fun focused in her games. We surely would miss these lion giggles.

[@NekRulez]

@@Jeff_Saber She is a retired pro, as she puts it, she played Apex till she was dizzy and her vision wouldn't stop spinning. I had that before too, the dizziness and spinning, I couldn't get up or move my head for a day before it died down and took a full month to fully recover. I respect her firm decision and stance on retirement and just want to have fun and be an idol streamer. =]

Sasuga Aqua, introverts when they show their true power is OP. I'm glad she decided to participate with Towa-sama and Suisei xD

Ngl, almost every introvert had some kind of unique or really talented in something, in anime or even real life.

[@MikaHolic_Channel_OFFICIAL]

1:50 he literally said *RUN!* to his teammate because they're facing THE Minato Aqua, the Mad Dog of Hololive! Akutan's so cool and terrifying that we got players who would prefer not to fight her hahaha

[@justawanderingvegetable4847]

The one that said “RUN!” Is the coach. They cannot hear him yelling that cuz he is muted while they were in game, he is just watching.

[@loading9960]

They describe meeting aqua like a traffic accident or something. It's hilarious

[@MikaHolic_Channel_OFFICIAL]

you know shit is serious when literally the team coach says to be CAUTIOUS of *Minato Aqua* especially if she's alone. the Mad Dog has successfully instilled fear into their hearts hahaha!

[@ronaldt2339]

Part of it also because none of those two teams have an ace that could stand 1 v 1 against Her / picking off Towa and Suisei.

[@duster4441001]

And then mondo like kill kill on astel to shibuya. Most of them can't one on one except for player point 9 or 10 that can fight against Aqua. Remember gorilla that 2x kill suisei and towa again? When he alone

[@exo-gladius4805]

Amazing clip as always, Aqua has truly grown so much that everyone starting to acknowledge her potential. WYATB.

[@dinoson7007]

it is interesting that they say they can't hear her movement at all, make you think probably most of her movement are calculated, not just generally where to go or land.

[@hanz108]

Yeah most of aqua’s victim can’t hear her footsteps before she shoot’em, there is a moment when noah just peeking at door, aqua suddenly appears in front of her and kill her real quick.

[@QDRG64]

Or maybe it's just Apex Legends being Apex Legends, w/ constant audio issues that have persisted throughout the seasons. Or she probably sneaks and doesn't move until she needs to, probably a combination of both.

[@landacdeus]

@@hanz108 yeah this, Aqua tends to crouch and slowly move towards the target which eliminates any footstep, leaving their opponents in shock. The Noah fight and the Kanae team fight a few days ago is a great example of this

[@alexs_33]

Just apex things. The audio in this game at times really pisses me off too. Getting walked up by a team with 0 audio is just normal at this point

[@zheymour]

Probably because she’s using Wraith. Last thing you’ll hear is her Phasing then boom you’re Dead. Then she warps back to Her team denying them of any retaliation.

[@platedplatypus9932]

I don't even know Aqua personally nor do I watch a lot of her Apex streams, but heck, you know what? I feel like a proud father watching his daughter grow and make a name for herself.

[@yannybee3707]

The thing about Aqua on her first and last Apex tourney is that, she treats it as a pub like how she played on her SoloMas run. They don't get below top 10 that much, but they get alot of kill points which somehow pulls their score up. All week of scrims, their problems are positioning, and getting third partied ALOT.

[@achow3360]

Remind me again what the reason behind her last tournament? Someone mention awhile back, but I forgot.

[@amarei9932]

They are all afraid of StartEnd so people would be 3rd partying them unconciously lmao, also , Seeing as how Sui-chan and Aqua 1st time in Tourney, it's kinda hard for them to adapt to positioning, along with stress as well. SUI CHAN IS KEEPING UP

[@derkaiserzen]

@@achow3360 she's a hardcore introvert.. It even took her fans and several holo member years to convince her to at least tries it ONCE. Which they finally did this year. But I hope she's opened up to join the tournament next year after experiencing it this year.

[@achow3360]

@@derkaiserzen oh I thought it was some inevitable reason that she can't join again. Yeah I can't imagine aqua playing with other vtuber outside hololive talent, but I hope after she taste the competition she will be join another tournament again.

[@RazzySensei]

@@derkaiserzen It's actually more to fan expectation. The way I would say most fans interpret it is that she doesnt want fans to expect her to join a lot of tourneys after this just because she joined this one. But ofc she did explain that she may have a change of heart in the future.

[@zarichexernav.zehldd638]

It's Aqua!!! Run!! She's gonna chase our team till we all die.. . . Facts. That's a mad Neko for you

[@prajnadeva]

0:46 "why she was never mentioned before" Like hidden boss. There is chinese saying: "crouching tiger hidden dragon" 😄 But the real reason is that last year she was just diamond challenging master, rarely collab in apex or joining tournament. And then 8 months practicing off stream. And that means missing 3 vsaikyou and all cr cup. By the time she challenged solo master 2nd time, she is already became very strong.

From my perspective aqua and astel is pretty much the same, they're goes wild when solo.

[@riroporis]

Aqua is being held back by towa nad suisei to stop rampagijg meanwhile astel is going insane from mad maggie experience

[@joejunior4700]

the only difference is aqua is on the unexpectedly outrageous side and astel is on the hilarious side of being good, astel is like "I'm a meme creator and you're the joke. *pulls the maggie balls and wrecks"

[@hikun2837]

Yeah 😅 when these two solo, feels like they loose all their worry and going berserk

[@lucatielofmirrah-1853]

both are restrained by their teammate, and both of them are too fast. tho that what makes vsaikyo is good.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

The thing is, Aqua usually plays solo, even for her Master challenge. She surely has the mechanics absolutely down. And isolating her from her team won't help either, because that is what she usually plays. And yes, she could totally go to pred, but for that she surely needs to do it in a team.

[@blatantslander]

Yeah restraint and right calls are kinda hard huh

[@kimjongun9311]

It would be insane if she did a solo pred challenge, although I don’t think she’s at that level yet.

[@b.l.a.c.k.s.t.a.r]

I think it's obvious that if she played with other players that are near her rank and communicated more, she could easily get predator. I wonder if Towa and Suisei would be willing to climb rank with Aqua in the future. Still, getting solo master is already impressive.

[@TsorovanZero]

The number of people in this tournament that can beat her 1v1 reliably can be counted on 1 hand with some fingers left over. Most teams are justified to be terrified of her.

[@SeeU3008]

i count hinano, astel, vgorila, noah, pakael

[@TsorovanZero]

@@SeeU3008 Vgorilla definitely. I don't know Pakael well, but that's a definite maybe from what I've seen. Astel...I think Aqua actually beats him 6/10 times. Not sure about Hinano or Noah. Chihiro is one I considered a maybe.

@@TsorovanZero from what i see that people said pakael always got champion since v1. Astel strong if he use wraith though but with mm he can't run away like aqua using portal. Then again see astel if he sudden quiet, then thats when thing go rip like how he kill 3 player in close space

the thing about aqua movement is that she doesn't move by data, she move by her instinc thats why when she move literally wide open in the middle of field almost no one notice her and sniped her cuz usually in pro scene player are barely do that, player who play by data usually camping in good position try to third partied other team like kuzuha team and pakael team for example

Nah aqua has one thing going against her for predator and that's comunication sure anyone whose good enough for masters has enough ability to make it to preds if they just 3 stack with master preds and use teamwork strategy and grind for a month or 2 but very few people are such mechanics gods that they can solo monkey or solo rat their way to enough points to steal a pred spot and if they are they've probably been signed to a team on the spot

[@luxoriaa]

She can't really hit Predator unless she dropped all her idol activities and even collabing outside of Apex until she hit Pred. Which is pretty much impossible for now.

[@kanzaki2672]

To step into Predator realm you're either fully-commited into APEX or totally jobless that you have too much free time in your hands. I think she had enough with Master for now lmao
