He's the best of all of the ones I've seen be introduced to HoloCure. It's dense and deep, I don't fault anyone to not be able to do a deep dive, but at least I'd like them to take it in stride, be respectful. And Dan does that!
For additional Risu trivia - She's well known for "growing in power" every November, where she hosts "Nonstop Nut November". Every day for the 11th month, she posts a short encouraging the viewers to continue pursuing the biggest nut they can muster; to never give up and continue nutting for the whole month. All to ensure they're well stocked for the winter, obviously. What were you thinking?
Additionally, Ayunda Risu's backstory is that a witch named Ayunda ended up in a magical accident that fused her with her pet squirrel Risu. Now the two inhabit the same body, which is honestly just an excuse for her to flex her vocal talents by playing two characters. Risu is "in control" most of the time and uses a very squeaky Alvin & the Chipmunks type of voice. Meanwhile, Ayunda has more of the low husky voice of a mature woman. Listening to her switch between the two voices on a dime, especially when singing, is very impressive.
My favorite part of Bae's Special is how incredibly simple it is on the back end. If you pay attention to your stats while the Special is active, you can see exactly what the Special actually does: It adds 999% to your Haste stat.
2:51 Dan says hi 15:28 Shifting on over to Holocure 17:44 Dan attempts to explain Holocure (and stalls character selection) 19:38 Stage 1 start (and more attempts at explaining Holocure) 1:06:04 Back to main menu (and bitrate restored) 1:08:40 Stage 3 (Hard) start 1:43:06 "FIRE!" 1:45:50 ". . . Fire everything." 1:48:39 "Here goes . . . FIRE!"
For a bit of extra background knowledge about Risu and the Piggy Bank. The ingame Item stolen Piggy Bank is named that because Risu stole the Piggy Bank from Moona to count the coins in it and now if you play as Moona and get the Piggy Bank Item it is actually called retrieved Piggy Bank. I love the character specific flavor text this game has, some other fun instances are in Holohouse if you play as Gura and talk to Bloop he has unique dialogue for her same with Fauna having unique Dialogue with Nemu at the farm. Also for stage 3 Hard as chat said the bosses are the myth girls wearing their Halloween costumes from their Halloween-song Myth or treat, a remix of that song is whats playing during the stage.
Risu's DLC skill also synergizes well with the Piggy Bank - its Coin gain effect ensures you keep your clones up as much as possible and in turn they pick up drops for you, mitigating the Piggy Bank's drawback.
28:30 the crates are a nice addition from a game design standpoint. They basically encourage actually running around and exploring the maps and actually experiencing all of the good map design, rather than just setting up a bullet heaven nest at the start of the stage and never straying too far from where you spawned.
For characters where you plan on spaming the special idol live is usually the best super collab. It is also a great way to obliterate bitrate with Bae. The other item that's very useful on her is hope soda, it increases crit damage.
@@Road_to_Dawn Pretty sure that's no coincidence, considering all the small details and synergies. IRyS herself does have a crit-related build too, but it benefits more from crit chance rather than damage...
7:07: Ooh, promising! I wonder if the Dans finally sorted out another randomizer... 18:35: Also, if you play HoloCure in a public setting and admit you don't know much about whoever you're playing, plenty of Hololive fans will happily infodump at you. -We- They mean well. 27:47: Probably a good time to bring up the Lua Lucky streams where she researched pro wrestling. (Lua's not in Hololive, but VTubers are VTubers.) 32:45: All characters feel OP (to one degree or another) once you understand how they're supposed to play. Same with all collab weapons. I think that's part of what makes HoloCure so enjoyable. Though if you're farming coins and feel confident you'll get a Greed stamp, Risu is one of the best farmers (up there with IRyS). 56:20: Hm, that's a good question. I feel like Kay Yu and co would anthropomorphize the PlayFrame play button, the way AZKi's fans were represented as anthropomorphic microphones prior to 0.6. And like the _(checks wiki)_ Pioneers, they'd probably get a redesign once the fans, Carrie, or one of the Dans made a more official design. Possibly some critter in a Hollow Knight art style? 1:25:00: The Marking Stamp is good against bosses, particularly if your main weapon is more AoE than focused. It's not _bad_ on, like, Amelia or Ollie, but it only achieves its full potential if you're attacking huge numbers of enemies and focusing a bit of that damage at the big boss. 1:40:20: An excellent attitude, comrade! 22:35: This is a reference to Nonstop Nut November, which was basically a big excuse to make a bunch of puns/innuendo for a whole month. 33:45: The Stolen Piggy Bank is a _really_ good item for Risu, both because the coin it gives you every so many pixels triggers her DLC skill and because she's the one who stole the piggy bank. 1:07:00: >:( 1:43:05: Reine's is probably, like, _better_ (it gives you a bunch of coins), but Bae's is _spectacular._ 1:54:54: Alrighty. So these five are the five Holomyth girls in their Halloween costumes, as seen in the music video for "Myth Or Treat," which is the music playing in this stage. They're drawn in the same chibi artstyle as stage 1's Smol Ame, because said music video used 3D versions of that art style.
More fun facts on the stolen piggy bank Risu stole it for a money counting stream which got interrupted by Moona literally clawing at her door, cause she was also streaming at the time and her chat informed her of the theft. Iofi also joined in on the clawing after a while
The only issue I have with Holocure is that it starts to chug on my machine. It depends somewhat on the character, stage, and items, but often around the 15min mark the game slows down a lot. Makes the game really frustrating. If it wasnt for that, it would easily surpass Vampire Survivors for me as my favourite. It's so well designed, the different characters feel fun and distinct, their internal synergies work well, and there's just enough depth in the weapons amd items to be able to find synergies there too, without it being mandatory to have fun with the character. It's great.
I think I saw Kay Yu tweet about how the 0.6 update changed things with how the game is run, but it should be for the better. Maybe ask around for anyone else with similar experiences, see if it's a common happening.
Something not brought up: Enhance a weapon before collab (at lvl 7) gives it a buff to a basic stat (dam+, size+, kb+, crit+, hit%+, etc.) AND COLLAB WILL HAVE (2) BUFFS!
The song playing in stage 3 was Myth or Treat. I recommend everyone give it a listen (and watch): It's short, cute, and funny. A lot like Bae, actually!
In the spirit of Risu making nut-based puns and double entendre, would you call the bitrate returning after the Risu run, "post-nut clarity"?
A+ comment, approved
Dan's pleasant enjoyment and mild confusion of Holocure and thus Hololive related stuff is honestly just So Good

I wish i could see the Twitch comments, I live seeing people's first reactions to this game.
2:51 Dan's here
15:28 Game Start!
Thanks, but I nearly missed the dope Sanctuary remix because of this lol

That interesting about the hope soda, and (probably coincidentally) very fitting considering Bae’s relationship with IRyS.
@@Road_to_Dawn Pretty sure that's no coincidence, considering all the small details and synergies. IRyS herself does have a crit-related build too, but it benefits more from crit chance rather than damage...

I just love the deadpan "upside down... she is Australian, that's the joke"
~ Good Stage 3 Hard run. Sad you didn't get the Body Pillow.
Dan you can't post a holocure video right after I finished playing myself. My family is going to (correctly...) assume I'm obsessed with this game!
Maybe you should watch clip referance for the item at the end video i think for context purpose.
The only issue I have with Holocure is that it starts to chug on my machine.
It depends somewhat on the character, stage, and items, but often around the 15min mark the game slows down a lot. Makes the game really frustrating.
If it wasnt for that, it would easily surpass Vampire Survivors for me as my favourite.

Hi, hope turning off something like damage numbers help you, id go as far as turn off stuff like screen shake too.
Turning off damage numbers definitely helped a lot on my old laptop. Turning off visual effects and screen shake might also help if that's not enough?
Try force v-sync using your graphics card control panel.
This version seems to run a whole lot better on my pc that I can actually handle halu 5 now
Something not brought up:
Enhance a weapon before collab (at lvl 7) gives it a buff to a basic stat (dam+, size+, kb+, crit+, hit%+, etc.) AND COLLAB WILL HAVE (2) BUFFS!
I really love the holocure streams - delightful chaos.
The song playing in stage 3 was Myth or Treat. I recommend everyone give it a listen (and watch): It's short, cute, and funny.
A lot like Bae, actually!
Geese! We're geese! We are the geese!
This bitrate matches my eyesight nicely.
1:01:19 looks good to me, considering what a mush of pixels the stream was.
catch these live so I can fill Dan's head with vtuber minutiae.
i wasn't expecting kh music when i tapped on this vid
You must be new here
@@Dragon-ld8qf i believe i am
not complaining though, love me so kh
That squirrel nuts character is the best money maker in the game
Just get super chat item and the greed stamp and the halu item
Risu is a NUTS character.
Rgb, trumpet, reverse are useless stamps (always a waste of a slot/switched out asap), unit (very niche) stamp.
i just wanna see dan fish 😭why must you ignore holo house
Cool
