Botan Sharing Her HoloCure Experience & Seeing Many Familiar References in HoloCure Items + Upgrades

[@AnimeGamer0]

Want to say - shoutout to Highgai, the translator for the game from English to Japanese. Not only is he a translator - he's a streamer himself on twitch and recently was the help translator for Ironmouse's Speak of the Devil episode with Haachama. Also one of the early adopters of TheGunRun's streaming backpack before Gunrun left Twitch to start help found VShojo. He also occasionally helps Twitch Japan as a host. So yea, big shoutouts to Highgai because he probably translated in a way to make sure everyone understands the joke references in the game.

[@blacksiopao]

I remember Highgai when Pikamee participated in the ASUS Valorant stream, he acted as a translator for Kaigai nikis back then, and was not that into V-tubers. Now, pretty much he's included in big fan projects such as these. Really a great guy.

[@Assasin2]

[@ettu357]

Holy shit a lot of the fans who worked on this game are just straight up pros in the industry, from the animators to the translators. No wonder it's so high quality.

[@sonibrahmana5814]

Wait, it's the same baldy Highgai? I thought it's just someone with similar names.

she has different standards ...

I mean, she did say she can't stop playing

[@MexicAnime]

As expected of Botan, she's already strategizing the best way to win.

[@shifusensei6442]

Seriously, she reads the patch notes and knows the meta.... I shouldn't be surprised.

[@venomark7883]

Same as Fubuki, she didn't chose to collab with her cutting board and holobomb until she got overwhelmed with the enemies she had a perfect defense and offense there too

[@sonibrahmana5814]

Whether she knew it or not, going straight for the flattening board nearly every time feels very Botan. The base damage of that thing is pretty huge, and it does cover a fairly big area. Her go-to weapons seems to be focused on "territory domination" first, something you'd need for this kind of game. As expected of Botan.

[@FrinniferFran]

And on Gura with Knightly Milk making the coverage on that GIGANTIC. Toss in MiComet or Elite Cooking the AoE meta. Also my First clear was with Calli PRE-Buff. So I feel really good about that

[@sonibrahmana5814]

@@FrinniferFran Yeah her strategy is fun to see. I don't really follow meta on any game, but this game is simple enough to figure out what combinations could work, and Botan's tactics gave me a lot of ideas.

[@FrinniferFran]

@@sonibrahmana5814 I wanted to try and see if I could get Knightly Milk with Sana and all her skills. BEEG AoE! But I haven’t had luck. Almost convinced Sana doesn’t get Milk in her Loot Table

[@sonibrahmana5814]

@@FrinniferFran I got it several times, and I definitely use Sana for "territory domination", simply sit still and nothing can come close. Except for massive bRats on 27th minute above. They're fast enough to break through. And I did got some Milk every now and then, but either the item's rarity depends on the character or some items are rarer than others in general and our luck is moody.

[@OhNoTheFace]

They should make it pretty small for some members I think :P

[@CSLucasEpic]

I was looking forward for Botan to play HoloCure since she was so good at Vampire Survivors, and she sure didn't disappoint.

[@赤ゲキ]

She literally got experiences by playing the original Vampire Survivors so she knows how to go about things. Only thing that she needs to know are what the items do and then she breezes from there. Except for the Gacha. RNG refused to cooperate with her for quite a while.

[@Nehfarius]

I do agree with Botan's idea that, were she to appear in-game, her associated weapon would probably be some sort of thrown explosive.

[@jakkametkraiwong6508]

Or maybe the gun she uses in alternative. 😆

[@camelotassemble]

How about a gun that has a grenade attachment or the gun can be upgraded to shoot explosive rounds.

[@jomujomu7513]

An AK or Dragunov for her base. Maybe the grenades are a skill that periodically does aoe damage or her super.

[@camelotassemble]

@@jomujomu7513 so similar to Deadpool's ultimate attack in the Ultimate Alliance games?

[@ardantop132na6]

I predict Botan's primary weapon would be an AK and her signature Poi grenades would be available as a passive skill.

[@MakinaIcy]

Sasuga Lion. She trains off screen and she already learns all the collab combo ahead.

[@raphaelpulmano2212]

She's the only one to mention the Calli buff. Sasuga La-lion.

Fauna also

[@grenadotornado3473]

Imagine, Botan fans in the game could be the kamikaze type

[@OhNoTheFace]

Did not realize it was also the Q guy. Makes sense, especially since there is a Q wave in the game

[@Uldihaa]

I would not be surprised at all if when they put Botan in the game, she'll throw grenades. The weapon would be called "Poi".

[@jomujomu7513]

I can see that being her super. Giving Botan an AK or a rifle of some kind for her base weapon, feels like a must lol.

[@ShiningLight]

Wow Botan even knows about the updates

[@Vasharan]

Every Holomem: (see's Yagoo statue) Also every Holomem: Kimochi warui. :P

I think it's more like Holo JP's thing while ID and EN have different reaction.

[@a.cunningham4974]

Botans laugh is contagious

[@Raquya]

Oh wait that huge blindspot right in front of Callis already been patched out? I thought it was a bit of a nice tradeoff with her having such a long range melee attack from the beginning.

[@monstermakku2429]

i watched this live and what i love 'bout the stream was everytime botan gets a holobox she vibe to the beat..

[@Archedgar]

She's right about the balance issues. Feels like Ina is underpowered. Mumei seems overpowered. I'm betting Korone will be god.

[@shadowblade5656]

Ina's skills make her pretty strong. IIRC, she was consistently top of the leaderboards before they were taken down.

[@desantchbl7818]

Regular attack may be. Skills - medium/stronk

[@heliusuniverse7460]

korone's piki piki piman should be broken with korone, maybe some crit scaling passive or something

[@aruhakeem]

Somehow I can't use Mumei 😂 Ame, Sana, and Fauna is my farming unit

[@jomujomu7513]

Ina is strong in Endless Mode because of her skills. The ghost takos and void skills give her a lot of survivability. I just wish her actual super and base weapon are more fun to use, but she’s one of the best endgame characters.

[@cantdrinkmilk]

She also said something about the headphones being a reference for Mano Aloe but I think the clipper missed it.

[@severussnape2917]

Awesome!

[@user-om5ue4id7q]

Botan's weapon will definitely be a sniper in reference to her botan x on Minecraft

[@ShankMugen]

I did not even realise that it got an update, will have to try it out later

[@jomujomu7513]

Yes, Calli is super busted now. At least for stage clears and coin farming. She can practically clear with just her scythe alone lmao.

[@Ethan13371]

Botan would definitely have a headshot upgrade.

[@Reymax164]

2:37 they can do it differently. Botan is more known to use sniper. So they can make a slow, piercing, high velocity and damaging sniper for her.

[@Andy_ARBS]

Sounds like a fun character to play. Especially if it is hyper specialized sniper with allmost no aoe in the early game.

[@mubbie]

imagine if SSRB's just get closer really quick and explodes when they're near

[@ManusiaKagakRusuh]

wait, where's the time when Botan found out the reference for headphone ? ...

[@castorvolkCH]

botan recognizing the headphones immediately as mano's.... gen 5 will always be 5 members.

[@マーモン-u9o]

大型コラボとかの超強力武器とかも面白そう

[@sanchikotjendrakasih9138]

Botan probably going to use machine gun or rifle as normal attack. Her special attack will be throwing grenade in entire screen like Lady in DMC 4.

did she mention aloe's headphone reference in that stream?

@P T nobody is gonna reference her, as far as Cover is concerned, she never existed, and there’s nothing to do with her anyway. Aloe was only around a very short time but she’s still an acknowledged talent who was around

[@obake6290]

Didn't know the game got updated til just now. No patch notes, so no idea what was changed. Surprised it was felt that Calli needed a buff though. I thought she was arguable the strongest of the Myth girls

[@glipmine7109]

I've yet to see a single Holomem notice the Yagoo statue and not say it's gross, lol

[@dasoul6889]

Cali was already strong even before her attack buff, i even think she doesn't need her weapon anymore after you get elite cooking collab (and BL fujohi collab for late game) you can literally afk farm half of the time for easy coins lol

[@concern5810]

I hope a secret update where if you manage to get 2 collab weapon you can unlock a Yagoo stage when you break the statue

[@niyon3885]

Yeah, really waited for Gen5 added to game and SSRBmin as mobs

[@apollo5251994]

Huh. They took the dead zone out of Calli’s slash. That’s definitely a strong buff.

[@Yenrei]

I wonder if she noticed the headphones o7

[@lockedbill4942]

I don't remember Calli has that big range atk. Anything change recently after the first launch of the game ?

[@aibekkarimov7457]

How do you update this game? I still run the version with old Kalli's scythe

[@hakou_9029]

Calli became OP after the update, I even tried the 1 hp challenge with her, and managed to last for 26:54 before the enemy became too fast too handle. I thought there's a "massive bonus coins" the longer you survive, but nope, only got the 2.5k I collected myself no bonus whatsoever.

[@lockman5196]

And that's why I play stage mode to farm coin using supa Chatto time item. Got 6k per run for now.

[@Leon-xq7xr]

literally any holomem saw the Yagoo statue: gross, disgusting Yagoo:PAIN

[@LilAnonomus]

I'm a little disappointed they changed Callie's scythe. It was more accurately depicted before and made her unique to play.

[@ed.g4711]

maybe botan character would be throwing grenade while having a skill that summon ssrb that would run to the enemy and explode. XD

There are several possibilities, gatcha itself they could put the holomembers in alternative costumes and with alternative abilities in the same way that successful gatchas in Japan do

[@asianpersuasion4901]

Would I be allowed? Since it’s still heavily based on another game?

[@coltsm]

@@asianpersuasion4901 if you're talking about VS that game is also based on another game. Its not like there is a patent on a genre of game.

[@Claudekr]

@@asianpersuasion4901 It wouldn't be because fan works aren't allowed to profit from Cover's IP and I'm sure neither Cover nor the developer want to deal with all the legal BS that would be needed to setup a payment scheme for Cover to be the ones profiting from a game developed by someone unaffiliated with them. The fact that it's "heavily based" on another game has no legal implications whatsoever though. League can't sue DotA 2 for existing and neither of them can sue Heroes of the Storm and Counterstrike can't sue Valorant. Games can be the same genre.

[@kazuyukagami4625]

Ya also need to max out the weapons needed for collab which is lv7

[@Vasharan]

What Kazuya said. You have to max out both weapons (LV 7) to collab. Also, you only have 5 spare weapon slots and not all weapons can collab with each other, so you need to pick and play strategically if you're after a specific collab weapon. Once you have both weapons maxed, you need to get a Golden anvil to spawn, and then you can collab them. Also, note that some weapons only unlock after you meet certain criteria (eg survive 10 mins as Ina to get cutting board, or 10 mins as IRyS to get idol song), so you'll need to keep playing to unlock everything.

[@moonmun]

@@kazuyukagami4625 Ohh! Thank ye!
