It's sweet they partied up right after because Korone really needed that.

I didn't know the after party was Karubi's idea. She's an angel.

Unfortunately, Nanai passed away this morning suddenly. I’m glad he and Korone met and connected so deeply. Rest in peace.

Gosh, what a character arc for Korone. From shy doggo from debut, to getting weepy about not collaborating with new friends from outside Hololive. Korone sure is one of a kind.

RIP to one of the kindest people in the FGC. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Rest in peace, Nanai. I remember them having so much fun throughout the tournament. Always positive and encouraging both Karubi and Korone.

Nanai got 7th at EVO playing Korone in Idol Showdown. Now he's in the great arcade in the sky. RIP.😔

I love how Kanai was still coaching Korone at the start even during the chaotic party game matches lmao. Also, they started calling Donpisha the "cow king" later cause he (or maybe it was Guile's kick being too good!) was the best at turning back the cow. And they invited Kazunoko to join them too btw, he wasn't the only one left out lol, but, you know, he's a family man, he can't be going to an after party at 2AM! And Idk if it was clear in the video, but the rule (that they set themselves after a few matches) was to not hit each other during those "knockdown matches" (you can see there's no life bars, only a life bar that gets used up when they get knocked down), so Korone really was going "oh sorry!" again and again while unashamedly breaking the rules lol. But, man... They had a few practice matches before the tournament, the whole ass hours-long tournament to play in, then watched the rest of the tournament together after being eliminated (at this point they were like 8 hours in or so) and they still wanted to have an after party later. This is how you know you got a great group of friends.

THE REAL CRAZY RACCOON CUP WAS THE FRIENDS WE MADE ALONG THE WAY

It's a crushing thing as a fighting game player to see Korone's frustration at her losses; we've all been there where you try your best and shit goes south...followed by her teammates being like "yo you wanna play some more?" It's just a game at the end of the day, and after a loss, you can just have fun with your friends and vibe after. It's wholesome as hell to see Korone love SF6 so much to feel the weight of the loss, and then just _have fun_ afterward with her newfound friends. It's a great sign for her future as a fighting game player to bounce back like that. Good fight, doggo. You did your best!

This is what fighting games are really about.

I was hoping the after party would get clipped. It was so precious to watch this team train up, and have so much fun together, to the point where they're circle up again long after the tourney ended to have some crazy matches with hilarious modifiers.

So glad Karubi came through to raise everyone's spirits. That after-tournament session seems so relaxed and fun going by this video, it really felt like hanging out at a party even as a viewer.

Too precious, my heart weeps for Korone, im certain she'll get better and look at this as the first step to improvement

Karubi's laugh gives me life

Man if that hangout ain't what fighting games are all about at the end of the day, I dunno what is. What a good way to end the night for korone and the かZooの子 gang.

I’d never heard of Karubi before this, but she’s so cool. Helped Korone when she was extra nervous and came in clutch with her matches. As an old fighting game fan and a Hololive addict this event was incredible.

Oh she in the FGC now. We ain't letting her go.

They make me think of the circle of friends you end up making during summer camp

I think she may have made friends for life.

RIP Nanai-san

RIP Nanai

RIP Nanai. You were a good man.

When I heard the news, immediately thought of this video. Rest in peace, Nanai-san.

It was a good time. Rest in peace.

RIP Nanai...

At first I was worried if she would be able to fit into a team with professional players. But it seems like the community of this game is much warmer and welcoming than I expected. Their team seems warm and willing to welcome new players. I saw a clip of Dokura, Botan's team leader. Worried about both of them. He wants Botan and Korone to keep playing SF6. That's really the cute part of him. I also saw him playing Idol Showdown last month. before actually joining the team with Botan

Dawwh this was so nice! That girl on her team was really outgoing in a way that seems very healthy for Korone, I hope they become friends!

Man I'm bout to tear up again. Was here live too and seeing Korone cry like that after leaving the discord is so disheartening, but they all did their best and they had so much fun which is all that matters.

Legit they worked so well together it was truly fun to watch.

RIP Nanai o7

I really hope she can and decides to do a watch party of the CPT and others tournaments with team かZooの子 to cheer on Kazunoko, Shuto and Higuchi

I hope this is another StartEnd case where a group gets together and doesn’t want to disband ever so they collab often

Felt like going back to this wholesome clip. Nanai-san... o7

Props to everyone involved in this event, specially the coaches and team leaders.

karubi is an amazing person. Ive never heard of her before this but instantly saw how amazing she is as an entertainer, a teammate and a person through the practices and tournament. Kazoonoko definitely had that bond you would want in a team. They seem to genuinely enjoy each others company and had such good synergy. Hope to see more of them! Thank you for the translation as always JShay!

This. This is what fighting games is all about. It's not just about winning or losing, it's the character arc. That's what makes FGs fun

Karubi's laugh is something else lol

As someone who plays fighting games, it makes me so happy Korone had such a positive first experience. Everything sbout this feels great and she really seriously improved! I hope she continues playing in the future.

From a shy doggo to having homies outside of Hololive. It's like watching my daughter grow. I'm gon cri

Rest in peace Nanai-san. 🙏 gone too soon.

Karubi is such a W for doing this

Watch Korone enter EVO playing behind a screen or something in a few years. This was so wholesome.

I'm not really into vtuber stuff, but seeing her be so passionate about the game made me feel really good. Seeing someone new to fighting games start their own road is so cool man, i love it. I'll definitely watch the next tournament Korone enters, rooting for her!

Their afterparty laughter is infectious. It really felt like they bonded closely during the CR cup and I hope they'll continue to do shenanigans moving forward!

"Maybe the real treasure was the friends we made along the way." is strong here.

Really glad she was able to get cheered up that night.

I've been following Korone and Kazunoko, but for different reasons. Seeing them on the same team feels like a fever dream, but a good one.

Jesus, what a wholesome team. I need a part 2. And I just realized Karubi is Gura’s sister!

I wonder if Karubi saw Korone's stream and thats why she decided to invite everyone back... Because Doggo really needed that invite.

these are the real winners imo, they had so much fun they couldnt believe it was over, and had the courage to make even more memories, this is the essence of fighting games

Awww Korone, this reminds me of Rust Arc where everyone are crying and didn't want it to end. So wholesome xD Korone doesn't need to obey the rules, she's the rules!! Rulebreaker🤣 Glad to see Korone having fun with her new friends!

That's just too sweet omg

I just want to thank Capcom for adding cow tennis and hot potato to their fighting game.

Man, it's really hard to hear her tear up like that. Big props to Karubi for organizing the after party, definitely seemed like it helped them. I know it it sounds super cliche, but it is true that the experience and the bonds you make from it are far more valuable than winning, and this is a prime example of that.

Thank you for giving us this whole tournament arc story with your clips! You truly encapsulate the context and vibe of this team. At the same time you didn't cut the important fights, so we had the full experience and hype. Amazing job!

The Extreme Battle mode is just begging to be run as side tourneys at a big event, lol! I should start checking out this Karubi. Never knew them before this tournament, but she seems pretty cool.

Thanks for covering all of this so thoroughly!!

It could be nice if they made themselves into a regular team to go into other tourneys together. It would be good for Cover as well, promoting the company in more circles of potential viewers.

It's really heartwarming seeing them after tournament together. Korone crying after tournament, that feeling is totally relatable to me. Always after a fun party/event when the good feeling still linger.

Thank you for continuing to translate the Street Fighter Arc of Korone! 🙏

Honestly such cute wholesome moments with everyone in the team, i want what they had 😢❤

Seeing the sportsmanship, appreciation for the game and each other is very nice and brings a smile to my face. Well done! 😀

I glad she had so much fun with good team mates in what would have been a really stressful period.

Korone got the best reward from this tournament, this after party with new friends is the best thing, especially with the silly gameplay modifiers

Their team leader is probably the current best player in japan, with her coach been 'human wiki of fighting games', and 4 out of 5 members of the team is doing youtube streaming for living, they should make it a long term arrangement as a loose team, I mean it is beneficial for all of them, leader and coach will get fans from youtube streamers' fan base, and vice versa. They really vibe well together, a cool team.

Thank you for translating stuff from this tournament. As an English fighting game fan and vtuber fan, the CR cup content was really fun to watch, but it's mostly through your clips that I understood what they were saying.

When the vibe is just too good. I'm sad to see Korosan cry, but really enjoyed her time with them.

im always hesitant to click on this 'korone after CR clips' because every time i hear korone cry it breaks my heart 😭 but i'm glad doggo was was cheering up a lot at the end 😊

The real win was the friends they made along the way

Thank you so much for this clip! That was so wholesome ❤

Poor Korone... It really hurts to hear her cry 😔 I just wanna give her a big hug. But she really did come a long way and I'm glad she had such nice teammates who had her back.

The entirety of team KaZOOnoko was super awesome together! Every single member was a joy to watch! It seems like they became very close friends in such a short time, I'm really happy for them! I hope they continue to play together and become stronger!

Man Extreme battle was such a good addition for this alone

Despite the tournament being over and Korone's team finishing in Last (which is totally fine especially since its her first relatively big FG tourney), I'm immensely satisfied with the conclusion that she's going to keep going at SF6. To me, the best way to honour her teammates despite the result is to keep at it and have fun along the way. The fun in fighting games isn't at the Top, it's in the journey you take getting there. All the best, Dog God! "Fighting Games are something so great." ~ Hajime "Tokido" Taniguchi

Aaaawww this is way too wholesome. :)

Awwww man am glad koro got to have some fun after she was totally down and sad afterwards glad she got some laughs and had a fun time with the team afterwards 😂😂😂

Probably it helps that i love Street Fighter and have been watching Kazunoko along with Hololive but this was a sweet arc. Hope to see Korone collabing more with them too

Even if they lost, they had lots of fun and that's what matter, that's what fighting games are about. I'm glad they have the chance to show it

Oh God I relate to Korone a lot suddenly. I used to go to tons of fighting game tournaments but never did well. I always felt so frustrated with myself not being able to reach the heights I saw my friends reaching. Oof

Thank you for the translation!

This SF6 CR Cup was a crazy ride for Korone. Haven't seen her being this engaged in a while.

Super happy for Korone, let’s goooooo!!!!!!!

Imagine having friends and playing the party mode 😢 Seeing her enjoy the game this much warms my street fighting heart. It's my fav series of all time.

Karubi laugh is absolutely contagious XD

Glad they partied up again whenni was still watching

took guts to do this. Korone will prob keep trying amd become great at fighting game like she does everything❤

That's the true Fighting Game experience: "Event's over? Fuck it, let's hit the lobbies."

*Dramatic goodbye* Karubi: Okay, time for the afterparty.

glad korone and her team's still together playing with each other.

MAn the casual modes look fun and they actually teach you your character's stuff like "checking moves" for the cow game.

This really gave off strong aqua-like vibes from when she played in vsaikyou, a lot of potential during scrims but not that good of a tournament, but still quite an event and milestone

The party was so wholesome. What great people.

Fun afterparty with a great team.

We need a tournament of these weird mini games xD

KaZOOnoko need a theme song. Maybe Calli could write one and perform it on one of her not-broken kazoos.

This reminds me of TSB. )': There will never be enough content with the teams together afterwards!

Korone is so cute

It's sad that we lost Nanai after this. It would've been fun to see the full team back for another tournament

Once they all left and Korone started crying I had to close the stream because I can't deal with that. I was pretty confused when I opened the stream again later on and they were all back and goofing off.
