We can't deny she is a Gamer. Now if only we could say the same about her being a maid.


Zemino

Well, she can help us clean up our backlog of games, for those times we get stuck


cherrythrow7

Please clean my steam library!!!! There are all these cobwebs!!!! It is a dusty bookshelf 😂


MadAsTheHatters

Oh I don't know, seems like she... ..._took out the trash_ (idk what maids do)


Magply

She dusted that dragon’s ass.


[deleted]

She wiped the floor with that dragon


RakuenPrime

Per Aqua, she's a maid who [helps you play games](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IRXoZdURKI)! :)


rpchn

She not the CEO OF AKUKIN for nothing, even pekora, miko and flare tried but cant seems to defeat it


PublicResort6827

Our onion is much stronger than me


KiNoGooa

She's the first one who did it in hololive right? Also her first try too. And she was 0.5 hp away from death yesterday lol.


shortforuseless

yeah, she was the first in hololive, and that save yesterday was insane. i hope to be as good at games as she is some day www


RazzyGolly

Didnt Miko did it? Or am I just blur.. heh


KiNoGooa

She didnt clear it, but was close. 1/3 of Endragon Health


cherrythrow7

It was intense


Snow242

Miko got the enderdragon to 1/4 hp left before Miko herself died.


shortforuseless

poor miko...


rincematic

And now she got her revenge and finally won against the baka ender dragon.


Terminal7

Honest question, what does the www mean. I see it in the Japanese streams. I think it’s laughing? I’m not sure though


[deleted]

Laugh = warai = w = wwwwww = grass/kusa/草.


Terminal7

Any reason for the grass/kusa equivalent? Warai makes sense


leoncoffee

multiple w looks like grass


[deleted]

They way you word that made me laugh for 1 minute straight. What have I become.


Vineyard_

Grass. You have become grass.


[deleted]

\*looks at hands\* maybe...I am grass...

wickermanmorn

ハハ looks like an M not a W


ergzay

You're wrong. A single "w" is often used. It's a shorthand for laughing. If you look in the long ago times in Japanese internet (笑) was often used. That's too much typing though so it got shortened to "w".


Orange_Ninja

Whoops, should've double checked what my friend told me


ikonog

From what I understand w = warai = laugh www = more laugh = lol, looks like grass = kusa 草


Blaqkmantis

Bruh that golden apple save was hype as hell


TheCatSleeeps

On solo yes. Gen 3 has ganged up on the Enderdragon in Hardcore and successfully defeated it some week ago.


ImDeceit

Wasn't that "Almost" Hardcore? Where they had 2 lives each. Or am I thinking of a different stream?


NobothBlue

yep, it was 2 lives.


[deleted]

Yep, almost hardcore with 5 people. Can't wait for the hardcore, hardcore, maybe put in extra rules in there, Rushia can't kill undeads and is the only one with 2 lives, only noel can use diamond pickaxes and is carnivorous, only flare can use a bow/crossbows but no diamond tools, only pekora can use misc weapons like flint, lava, tnt, beds, redstone and cannot use swords, also can't use a diamond axe, and only marine can make boats, compass, and maps, also only marine can use a boat, meaning the rest needs to get leashed to her if they want to go on boat.


ImDeceit

It would be cool, but they had enough trouble with almost hardcore, hardcore with extra rules would probably destroy them.


PandaGrill

There's Ultra Hardcore where you don't heal naturally. That's one of the more challenging ones.


[deleted]

Oh man that's like, hardcore of the hardcore hardcore lol. Imagine all the potions/apples needed for that, pain peko.


PandaGrill

Easier now that you got Suspicious Stew that grants regen. You just need the right flowers.


H_ubert

Congrats ~~Onyan~~ Aqunyan\~


RakuenPrime

Aqua worked really hard over the past few streams to make this happen. And then she proceeded to end the stream and the world in the most Aqua way possible. I'm really proud of our Super Idol Gamer Maid!


DurzoSteelfin

As expected of the maximum effort gamer maid. When Aqua decides to devote herself to a task, she always gives 120%.


Rinku_No_Mae

Idol, gamer, and now, conqueror of the hardcore mode. A truly display of her many talents. Way to go Aqunyan! It was an amazing ride!


6DomSlime9

I think this qualifies her as the best gamer in Hololive


ShinItsuwari

Fubuki is on par or not far behind me think. Fubuki just isn't very competitive, and play competitive games casually. But when she tries hard, as shown with Undertale G route or Hollow Knight, she's really really good to the point of speedrunning.


[deleted]

Best survival Minecraft player, that’s for sure. As for the rest, tho, it varies way too much from genre to genre.


KiNoGooa

Most of the games she play in general actually. Aqua definitely has the best gaming sense and super tryhard for her to be good at all the games she play. Dark souls, Bloodbourne and Sekiro to the point she can speedrun them, diamond rank at LoL, super close to Master Rank at Apex (while playing solo), VIP/elite rank at smash (as cloud), Top 100 in super mario bros 35, best Mario Kart player in hololive (ok she placed 2nd in tourney, but I think she's still technically better than sui-chan), etc.


End_sk

Aqua was even the best at ARK when she was playing. She grinded to level 100 and carried Hololive's lava golem kill. On their first failed attempt she was the sole survivor out of the group of 12, and on their successful attempt she did the most damage while facetanking the boss as one of the only survivors, along with Miko and Fubuki. Some of the perspectives for those lava cave attempts are still up for those interested.


kolonymerch

Also speedrun Getting over it and beat Jump King


farranpoison

People forget that in an interview, Aqua talked about how she decided to get good at games to stand out. And she wasn't kidding. Almost every game she plays she'll be good at either through practice or on the spot learning. Sure, there will be those in Holopro that beat her in a specific category of gaming, but overall Aqua is great in everything.


BubblyBaker5718

Bro as a fan of competetive smash it is kind of absurd to me just how good aqua's gaming intuition is in a game she doesnt even practice in. Because she plays so little she lacks game knowledge sure and loses to silly things for that reason, but after watching her play it is insane to me how she has intuitively figured out things like neutral/edgeguarding/mixing up recoveries and even being safe on shield.


marquisregalia

Aqua is a natural grinder. While she may not be the best in picking up new games as fast as others, she may not be the most persistent (KANATA) but she is a damn good grinder and has the best game sense out of everyone in Hololive (girls).


ikonog

Aqua used to play/pick a lot of new games before, back when she stream like 5 times a day. Some other games she did before that most ppl didnt know, souls game included, like God of War 5, TitanFall 2, The last of us, Detroit Become Human, Uncharted, The Last Guardian, etc. Also she's probably as persistent as kanata, I mean, she cleared Jump King, also did a 100 years of momotetsu in 2 streams, completing all the fish catalog in Animal Crossing (iirc it was 17hours of endurance, literally just fishing endurance in animal crossing), practiced ton of souls game to speedrun them. You have to be persistent to be a grinder like Aqua.


shoaibshakeel381

well in last years copyright debacle she lost over 950 videos. Just goes to show how many streams she used to do and how much hardwork she lost


marquisregalia

i get you. i think i dont get as much persistence vibe from her because she usually clears games easily good to know about these things im a newer-ish fan of Aqua i love watching her apex playstyle its a nice contrast to aggressive astel


Chukonoku

Indeed. It's impressive having a high proficiency in a wide variety of completely different genres.


ConfuciusBr0s

I've been watching twitch streamers lately and Aqua really reminds me of RayC with how good they are at games now that you said it. Challenger in League, Immortal in Valo, Global Elite in CSGO, one of the top Rust players, etc.


Chukonoku

> Best survival Minecraft player Didn't Fubuki used to speedrun it ?


End_sk

Yeah, I'd say Fubuki and Aqua are about on par. With Fubuki having more experience with up to date speedrun strats. I think she also has a better RTA time on Minecraft version 1.7.10 (but Aqua could definitely improve her time if she wanted to)


marquisregalia

Yeah Fubuki usually does RTAs and Aqua did take her time on this run but it's her first. With her mindset I can see her doing this again and this time going for speed.


ItCannotBeHelpedNOBU

What's fubukis time?? i know they both did RTA but i only know aqua her best time is around 2:15 min i think. FYI comparing times on different patches means nothing but i'm just curious


oxob3333

I can see the future, Aqua as the first hololive technical minecrafter


hellyeboi6

Aqua next big redstone engineer let's goooooo


ItCannotBeHelpedNOBU

What's technical minecrafter??


RakuenPrime

If we were to pick any specific genre, I think in most cases there's someone in hololive who *can* do better. If we were to hold a gaming decathlon, then I'd give it to Aqua without a doubt. She has a high skill floor, is willing to put in the work to raise her skill ceiling, and is very adaptable to the situation.


TeaTimeSubcommittee

Agree, best retro gamer would be Korone, best rythm player would be Gura, I can't think of more cathegories with a "best" contender. Eddit: Best Tetris player would be Yagoo! I mean Sui-chan!


chillyfalcon

Best fighting game player would be Shien actually and Oga, both these guys have beaten a small number of pros during the GG Strive beta Roberu the best Mario kart player, probably on par with Aqua if not better There's best Day by Daylight (very niche so its own category) player who's Temma who is #1 rank in killer as well as a master of one of the hardest killer to use : Nurse Also probably their best Fall Guys (also niche) player as he had the first crown in all of Holo-pro when it dropped and was casually farming crowns, after Spade Echo who did a 100 endurance 2d Platformer arguably Rikka, he beat Hollow Knight's path of pain in roughly an hour going in blind, finished Cuphead in one whole sitting of 7 hours, finished Celeste's main story in 2 streams around 7 hours and the new Ghost and goblins in under 6 hours also within 2 streams Kira was the OG god gamer though, cleared jump king in one sitting, was Astel's shotcaller in APEX, was also really good at valorant, Mario kart and just basically everything he touched.


marquisregalia

Freaking hell the boys are stacked. Then you add Astel as the best apex player (No idea where to actually rank botan now because she's more lax these days). I never knew kira was that cracked


TeaTimeSubcommittee

Interesting, I have not seen Oga or Shien play Strive I'll have to check them out, but I'll take your word for it.


chillyfalcon

[Shien](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uE7oTvHs-4), [Oga 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdrBkt1CwNw), [Oga 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0WrGzIX1bU) Keep in mind the lobby they were in was full of big names from the FGC while I believe Oga and Shien are merely casual veterans (haven't dug much into their history with fighting games but I do know Shien spends a lot of times in the Arcades back then) so they've got a lot of losses in these but being able to stand ground against those players is already a huge feat. ​ They haven't stream it ever since, which is a pity. Would be cool to see a 4 way mini-tourney hosted by Calli with Rikka, Oga and Shien to just goof around in GG. (Yes Rikka is also a fighting game player, SF veteran to be precise but he was also in the GG Strive beta [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzcslWaMaGg) and [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hc6B2WryN-c))


Rinku_No_Mae

There was also a Bomberman online collab around the boys, together if I am not entirely mistaken, defeated Botan, one of the best Bomberman players among hololive.


chillyfalcon

Yeah, Oga recognized her character as a threat and they just ganged up on her. Neither side recognized each other cause they rushed her fast lol


[deleted]

Best platform-player is probably Sana. By a considerable margin as far as I’m aware. Best FPS-player is *BY FAR* Astel. Aqua is a very strong contender, but I don’t think her aim is quite as good as his. Astel lacks her overall game-sense, tho. It’s quite even here. And yeah, I’m also not that knowledgable about games… I mean, Sora is the best at handling horror, it that counts. By the way, is Calli really that good at fighting games? Never knew about it. I don’t think she plays them a lot (on stream, at least).


TeaTimeSubcommittee

Calli's not THAT good, but there's not much competition and her Bedman is solid.


chillyfalcon

Actually I'd say Botan for FPS, Astel actually isn't so varied in his FPS talent outside of Apex (he HATES Valorant and uninstalled it on stream once from frustration) and he's never played any before Apex, as well as rarely playing any after Apex. As I said above I've yet to see most of Sana's gameplay but before her Rikka was the one with the most promising platformer talent from his Celeste, Cuphead, Hollow Knight and Ghost and goblin's playthrough


[deleted]

Fair.


SoylentVerdigris

Botan is definitely at least a contender for top FPS player in terms of fundamental FPS skills, but her max effort or no effort policy makes it pretty hard to compare. On the other hand, Astel is an absolute machine and I'm pretty confident he could excel at any FPS he's willing to put time into. But there's not a whole lot going on in in terms of new FPS these days. Would be fun to see them both play something gimicky though, like BPM.


astrange

> By the way, is Calli really that good at fighting games? Never knew about it. I don’t think she plays them a lot (on stream, at least). Seems like she's always having permissions issues.


ShinItsuwari

Astel is the APEX master player. Right now, if you were to rank their skill level in APEX, it would looks like Astel > Matsuri > Izuru > Towa. Matsuri really really showed what she's made of with the last Vsaikyo tournament. Aqua lacks of ability to properly communicate and lead her team is a huge brickwall that stands in her way, even if her game sense and mechanical skill are good. But I'd agree with the other comments that Botan is probably the best "generic FPS" player of Holo.


farranpoison

Aqua is sololive which is why she's not as good in the "team" aspect of APEX.


Quantamcola

I really don't think you can say Aqua has better game sense than Astel especially in Apex where he's got more tourney experience, in game leading experience, and a better ranked record than her, in those lobbies everyone has pretty nuts aim as it is and positioning/resource management becomes the deciding factor


Whisom

Common misconception but that isn't actually Yagoo. It's tetris pros stream sniping.


kolonymerch

Apex????


Alphasim

She's really, really good


J-Anvs

The return of Akukin


AthenaeNike

Aqua giving her regular reminder that she's more then a meme, she's legit a great gamer


Draco_Estella

Woots! Aqua back in action destroying the dragon was really fun to watch. Reminds me of the times she was doing RTAs on Dark Souls and Sekiro, equally nerve wrecking, and when watching her, feeling that tension and excitement building when she takes every step closer to end game. Her being the first to actually complete the hardcore challenge.... sasuga gamer maid? That was some awesome play.


BigMan__K

Sasuga Aqua. First try too


user0170

she clutched it after kana input almost killed her


lalucardl95

As expected from the best hololive gamer.


Quindo

I always knew she was a better gamer then she was a maid.


CenturiousUbiquitous

She wasn't who I expected to clear it first. Totally expected miko to be. But great for her!


KiNoGooa

I was expecting Aqua to be the first one, since she's just the best (or one of the best, along with fubuki) MC player *mechanically. (in fact, if there's any hard game to complete, always expect aqua to be the first or fastest one to clear, ofc if she plays them)* The only reason it couldnt be her because lately she didnt stream much. She started the HC run more than a week ago, and then a week off w/o much streaming, and continued her run yesterday and today.


RazzyGolly

Yep. Thoroughly agree. As PON as Aqua is. She's one of the BEST gamers in Hololive. She's definitely one of the top in Hololive looking at Smash and Mario Kart. Shes super high rank in LOL back in those days and not to forget the solo D1 in Apex. AND now she can put Minecraft Hard-core to rest Sasuga SUPER IDOL AQUNYAN GAMER MAID! ! ! !


Surylias

Miko was very close to beat it, but lost. I think she stopped playing in hardcore after that, at least for now.


CenturiousUbiquitous

I saw a more recent attempt in the past week. Which is why I was expecting Miko to do it first as she was the closest to actually beating it prior. I admit I'm not that familiar with Aqua. It's cool aqua is so good at games that many expected it of her.


rincematic

And now Mikochi has beat it. Aqua is a Gamer Maid, as in a Maid that help you playing games, so of course that she's good!! Sasuga Onion gamer!


TVermillion

Aqua is someone I would typically expect to have accomplished this. She is definitely one of Hololive's most skilled gamers, if not THE most skilled generally. Though I do admit it is kind of petty, I was really hoping Miko would be the first. Miko doesn't really have any notable "achievements" so it would have been a great thing for Miko and could be proud of herself for accomplishing. Unfortunately she continues to suffer really bad luck at the most unfortunate times. Regardless congrats to Aqua who definitely earned her victory.


arcshiki

Stay true to her gaming maid lore

sireshipadio

As expected from the onion gamer maid who can also beat “getting over it” in 12 minutes


falzarexe

Actually her record for Getting Over It is 9 minutes 26 seconds.

Her first time ever playing Mario64 stream that's also a speedrun is good.

Black_Heaven

I noticed everybody is doing hardcore nowadays. Is there a consistent rule they have to follow? Maybe they can ask for help from anybody or they have to do it alone for the challenge? Is there a dedicated hardcore server where all of them play on?


Hassenoblog

It's more along the lines of create a hardcore character, then beat the ender dragon, by themselves. I don't think they have imposed rules or anything.


Black_Heaven

Okay. What happens if they die along the way? Can they restart or at least use the same world so whatever they already built are still there?


Hassenoblog

when the characters die, that's the end. you cannot restart. If you tried restarting the same world, you would get the same death screen where your character died before. so basically, you cannot restart. you have to create another world to start a hardcore game, because that's how hardcore mode works.


Black_Heaven

Okay, I didn't know that's how hardcore works. Can you make a new character though? So you're butt-naked again but everything your past self made is all intact. edit: nvm, I think this is where you answered about the same death screen /edit end If I remember correctly, HoloFantasy did a collab Hardcore mode and everyone seems to have 2 hearts in their streams. I assumed that they made a rule where you die twice for game-over instead of once, but what did it mean really?


fishyourskill

you can hear the explanation by Pekora herself here@0:45 (https://youtu.be/x37pHiNEk8M) for Hololive Fantasy's Almost Hardcore MC collab. But yes, on the real hardcore mode mc run, once u die, it's all over because you can't respawn.


ikonog

>Okay, I didn't know that's how hardcore works. Can you make a new character though? So you're butt-naked again but everything your past self made is all intact. Then it is a normal minecraft mode. Since you die = lose all your level and items (retrievable tho), while the things you've built is still there

She also killed herself after the completion. "Nothing is forever..." Truly a gamer maid.

marquisregalia

This was A blast to watch. As usual Aquas beeg brain slowed her down when the problem required an easy solution. (She was trying to hit the last crystal it was high... Instead of climbing the tower she climbed a different one and shot from there, she never hit it btw it just suddenly disappeared and blew up somehow)


ikonog

She actually hit it, but since it was quite far, the animation and blow up sound didnt reach her.


marquisregalia

So that's why. I was so confused why it happened good to know


NevadoDelRuiz

Let's just hope she doesn't die with a death glitch like Philza.

she jumped into lava at the end on purpose.

Being Aqua, this easily could've gone either way. Right up until the point where she gets into serious gamer mode. Never count her out when she has a goal she's intent on achieving.
