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

@@exxell Yep

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

@@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

@@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.

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

"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

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

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

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.

Thats finger licking good

Aka Oniyan

its gamer cosplay maid lol

Holy. Ikr. I gasped out loud. Loll.

That jump sliding no-scope did she really have to style on 'em like that

onion is on fire!

@@ChaxMk2 burnt onion

her rampage play is insane, but her kraber shots needs more confidence in shooting,

Why'd she stop actually?

@@AlphaVibes 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.

@@AlphaVibes 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.

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

Also don't forget she has Solo concert to prepare too, still come back with bang what a gammer.

Yeah except for wingman and G7 that is, but anyway her aim is freakingly good.

now thats what i call some On fire Gamplay

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.

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. (Yes i said hololive, meaning among the girls in holo only. Itll be a different story if u include apex monsters from holostars like astel and izuru.)

@@justawanderingvegetable4847 Including Astel is cheating lol

I'm glad to hear that! If you like Aqua I recommend you to check out the Underground Empire playlist: kzfaq.info/sun/PLYHKoDQl3aRa0e5ecVRIPC6K5XWNPLN0E

@@holoyume I will do that
