In Idol Showdown, two of your favourite YouTubers play games against each other. Who is the best first choice for a new player?
In Idol Showdown, a new game from Besto Games, virtual YouTube stars are put into a video game setting. This is a project that has been in the works for years. The game is a unique fan-made fighting game with a bunch of virtual streaming stars from VTuber agency Cover Corporation. Players can handle their favourite personalities in a smash-mouth-style experience.
There are 8 different hololive Production characters in the game, and more names will be announced in the coming months. Since the game just came out on May 6, 2023, players should learn which characters are best for people who are just starting out.
Sora

It’s not a big surprise that the first idol hired by hololive Production makes a showing in their first game. She does this with a character that needs a pretty advanced knowledge of how Idol Showdown works in order to use her well. Tokino Sora likes scary games a lot, but she is best known for her music and singing videos, which have a lot of fans.
Sora’s persona is called a “Virtuous Pure Idol,” and its strength is in its offence. This comes at the cost of speed, damage, and a strong defence strategy. Because fighting is either all or nothing, it can be hard for new players to deal with attacking pressure from their opponents and keep a competitive edge over them.
Suisei

Fans of VTubers love Hoshimachi Suisei and her signature blue hair. She is another virtual streaming star from “Generation 0” of hololive’s amazing group of talent. She is thought to be one of the more practical virtual artists, but many people think that her soft exterior hides a darker interior, which could explain why she fights so aggressively.
Suisei’s fighting style is called Stellar Stylish Idol, and she has the best offensive grade in the game. Even though this gives her a big edge over her opponents, her high speed doesn’t quite make up for her low damage and defence. If you’re just starting out in Idol Showdown, it’s best to learn how to avoid damage before you try out Suisei’s darker side.
Aki

Aki Rosenthal joined the hololive team as one of their first-generation streams. She was a strange creature from a different world. Aki Rosenthal is a half-elf from another world. She looks like a high schooler with purple eyes, but everyone knows her for how fun and curious she is.
Aki’s fighting style shows the fact that she is half-elf, and her ratings as a fighter are in line with Elven archetypes. Her zoning is her best quality, which means she is a very quick character who can stay away from her enemies and avoid damage. She is also very good at attacking. But her defence is terrible, just like the two Gen-0 streams. Aki is one of the hardest characters to hit because she has a lot of orders that let her teleport.
Coco

Kiryu Coco is a yakuza dragon with a very long dragon tail who does her best work up close. Coco’s default stance is a confident call for her opponent to get closer. This shows that she likes to hurt her opponents with a variety of painful grappling matches.
Even though Coco will stop streaming in 2021, she is still a very famous virtual streamer. Her fans loved her so much that she had to be in the fan-made game Idol Showdown. Her fighting style depends a lot on how much damage she can do. However, new players may find it hard to use her style because she needs to keep her opponents close.
Botan

Shishiro Botan’s experience in the special forces gives her elite-level skills at keeping her distance and a large arsenal of guns with ballistic ammunition that do a lot of damage. She is known as the smartest person on the Idol Showdown team, and she will always use her fight IQ to put herself in the best situation possible.
Botan is one of the newer VTubers and a member of the fifth generation of streams. She is a great choice for new gamers because she does most of her damage from a distance. Players can use Botan’s pistols, rifles, and even a special move where she uses a gun from a helicopter to mow down enemies if they can keep a safe distance from their opponent.
Fubuki

Shirakami Fubuki is proud to show off her ears and tail, which show that she is half-fox and a first-generation streamer from the hololive clan. The streamer with silver hair often plays video games like Apex Legends to entertain his or her hundreds of thousands of fans.
Fubuki is more well-rounded than some of the people in Idol Showdown who are more offensive.In fact, it’s her defence and damage, which are some of the best in the game, that make her stand out. But this hurts your offence rating, which lets you chain strikes together, and your speed. To get the winning shot, players will have to hit the ball at just the right time. The Versatile Fox Spirit is a good choice for people who are new to Idol Showdown because she likes to deal damage while taking little herself.
Korone

In the show Idol Showdown, Inugami Korone is called a Retro Fighting Dog. Even the bone-shaped hair clips she wears are a pretty good sign of her silly personality, which is similar to that of a playful dog. Since Korone is best known for her work in gaming, it’s no surprise that her character in Tunnel Rush game is one of the easiest to use.
When it comes to fights, the best way to describe Korone is as a fighter.Because she has great offence and speed. She can quickly chain together several attacks to overwhelm and punish her opponents. She has fewer orders to learn than the other fighters. Which makes it much easier for people new to Idol Showdown to learn her skills and use them well in battle.
Ayame

The Japanese Oni and singer Nakiri Ayame is part of the second generation of virtual streamers. She is all about quick hits and strong offence. Ayame doesn’t hesitate to show off her skills with a blade. She has an air of superiority about her that suggests she thinks she is better than humans and other species.
With a pair of dangerous Katanas at her hip. Ayame might be the best character to play as if you’re new to Idol Showdown. She is the fastest character in the game. And she can attack with a barrage of fast attacks that will crush anyone who stands in her way.
Idol Showdown can now be played on PC through Steam.
