I UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE LOVE THIS FIGHTING GAME 

LETS GO JUSTINNNN! Thank you so much for checking our game out! We are very glad you enjoyed playing it!

One minor correction. It's not just free to play. It's just straight up free period. There's no micro-transactions or anything.

You litteraly took the infamous heart pic with kson aka kiryucoco (the dragon one) at evo japan

"What happened to my life?!" Common reaction after falling into the rabbit hole

Funny enough, there's actually a couple clips of the lion girl Botan talking about Justin with Dogura.

The moment Justin tries Botan... ooooooh shoot. That will be legendary!

I want to see him go play ranked mode, just to see how it is

11:33 Forgive me for I can only think of one thing in this iconic moment.

Fun fact: The "Next Fes" update was when the game became part of the HoloIndie program, which meant the game is essentially published by COVER (the company behind Hololive). It also meant it has additional benefits such as: -Advertising and marketing (The Next Fes trailer was first shown at Hololive Super EXPO, the biggest, yearly OFFICIAL Hololive event) -Ability to monetize the game (Most of the fangame makers prefer to have it free but the first HoloIndie gamw, HoloParade, is paid) -Being able to have the actual talents contribute to the game (This game used to have just voice clips from actual streams, and some were rerecorded by the talents themselves on a stream. However, the new stuff in Next Fes was directly voiced off-screen.)

Neat part about ERROR Sora is that you can play as her after buying her in the in-game store and inputting a certain outfit order in the player select screen. Kinda like finding hidden character in games back in the day.

Bro hasn't felt real fear, he never fought a day 1 Botan.

Which one is the hidden missile chick? _cuts to Pekora_ well _technically_ ...

Suddenly, you hear hordes of Idol Showdown players wanting to test their "parry" skills....

Jwong getting bodied by foobs on the first try was not on my bingo card, but god damn did I need to see that lmao.

I'm surprised it took too long for Justin to play this. I hope he can get Max, Matt, JM and Guile into the game, too lol

justin playing idol showdown?! lets gooooooo

The game got a HUGE update on May 5th so you might wanna make another video on this game.

The best part of Idol Shiwdown is Virtual Frontier. Good rogue-like mode is rare for fighting games

That Parry/Block by The GOAT Justin 11:33 is insane

Somehow makes sense he'd play Aki. Idk about the recent update, but I found Suisei the most fun to play on release.

First... it was Maximilian Dood, a well known youtuber (THAT WE'RE HAVING A HARD TIME CONVERTING! The mental fortitude is powerful with him to resist) and now Justin a legend among the FGC, hehehe... HAHAHAHAHAAAA!! The FGC is slowly becoming apart of our virtual culture as even the most professional of its ranks shall fall in the rabbit hole. May you enjoy the game Justin and may the blessings of vtubers keep you close. Now if i had to suggest someone you may enjoy, look up Machina X Flayon. The guy is a bit variety but his core focus is fighting games.

Watching justin calling the great Coco Kiryu a mere "dragon maid" and then getting asacoco'd and meme'd finished was hilarious.

Justin finally getting dragged into the vTuber rabbit hole. I have a strong feeling Justin would eventually collab with one of them in the near future

11:37 the timing of the stop + the stomp 😂

8:20 Now we know why a certain person did not want to complete the heart in that photo

Aki is a character that is very hard to master, but when you master her you realize she's kind of OP. Most of the top experienced players of Idol Showdown are Aki mains. An official tournament ended a couple of months ago, and the first 2 places were Aki mains. So yeah, hard to master, but hard to beat.

Mr Wong feeling the V Tuber Fighting game in Idol Showdown

Hm, yeah, I just realized you can't explain Fubuki turning into a head-blob without first explaining Touhou memes.

Oh no, he’s gonna go down to the rabbit hole lmaooo

Oh my, a FGC legend diving into Idol Showdown? Awesome!

glad you played this Justin! Little did you know, you already at a pic with one of the voices behind the characters hahaha you might want to try the other single player mode that feels like SFa3's World Tour

10:11 GMMF moment

2:24 I know, this is me everytime asking myself everyday

SSR is Fubuki rng system just like Critical of Shingo in KoF. You get more damage or property after SSR.

Nice playthrough Justin! ! This game is really good ( Have the game in my steam downloads time to finally play it) & has sick combos. The combos remind of Skull Girls...you continue to put out S Tier content, Thanks Bro!

hell yeah, super happy to see you try out Idol Showdown man! 🙏🏼

Damm this isn't even the Next Fes update, UI is the old one, plus no Ina. I do hope you give Next Fes a try, its the biggest update to the game adding a lot of stuff.

Watching Justin struggling against first stage Fubuki makes me feel a bit better having never beaten the arcade mode.

Aki Rose? I see Justin's a man of culture.

Justing playing absolute peak, great, this and the Kson moment... Oh man has no idea he is falling into a rabbit hole that i havent seen anyone come out from

I don't know why I didn't expect you to try this out, but I'm so happy you did!

"Just walk up and block, it'll put them on tilt." - Mike Ross

This was a lot of fun to watch! I haven't seen Idol Showdown in a long time!

justin do you want an fgc version of idol showdown

Great to see you playing this finally! Next time you need to do the Virtual Frontier mode, that's hella hilarious ❤

Watching Justing Wong lose like "You are gonna Leaaarn!!!" x'D

This game looks like it’s actually really fun!

Get to see Justin playing this because I also try this game also. It is little bit hard for me.

The game just got a massive update with new mechanics and a new character check it out!

that Aki character has a very Ingrid vibe to a couple of her animations ❤

FINALLY YOU PLAYED IT ! HOPE THIS GAME MADE IT TO EVO AGAIN !

11:32 *Leonardo DiCaprio meme* I've seen this before!

Idol Showdown has nothing but tons of content! You should try the Virtual Frontier, it's basically a whole Rogue-like single player with fighting games!

Now this is the timeline I want Jwong playing idol showdown This was before the ina update also damn

Yoooo at 2:15 Did J Wong Moon Run!!??!!?? That was wild...The Moonwalk must've been too easy so he said "Lemme Moon Run on em and see how he handles it!!" 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

hope justin hops in on the idol shodown side tourney on the next EVO

😮😮😮 JWong playing Idol Showdown is my new oshi!! 😂🎉

Looks like ya had fun also thanks to the devs for making this wonderful game.

Great surprise seeing you play Idol Showdown!

this was such a fun watch

Some of these vtubers have gotten into SF6 and intetacted with JP pros.

i hope you do more videos on this game!

I'm so happy to see someone playing Aki

all we need is justin playing hisoutensoku and then we've reached the peak of humanity

This was awesome! Props to the devs, the game showed allot of love for vtubers AND fighting games!

If he's going down this far for indie games, i will still push for Duels of Fortune and Battle Craze.

Holochad here. I've been waiting for this one, the Holo community is full of geniuses who just happen to do high quality fan games for fun. Obviously this game is chock full of references and inside jokes, but seeing a pro gamer trying to make sense of it is fun

about time, welcome to the rabbit hole

"oh dragon maid" more like dragon yakuza...

Thank you Justin for playing the game

It begins…

Lmao that audio is hilarious

That was really fun to watch XD

LOL. Yup, they pull out a SFA3 when you change character, your Arcade Mode progress is lost and have to start over, I think is the same on Killer Instinct (Xbox/PC by the way, not the other 2 classic games).

I was with him in the first fight wondering how he died so quickly then I remembered the health carried over from each round and stage

Now if this includes in EVO, I'm not suprised 😂

6:04 mf look at the ai even waiting for the missiles to done firing

This game is really good I like the combos

That Suburban Commando audio clip caught me off guard

JWONG MY SOUL

If Daigo plays this game, we might see a combo string full block. It's Evo #37 all over again.

THE JWong tries Idol Showdown? More! More please!

More vids of this please? Battle with JM and Smug 😂

Bro!!! You and JMCroft need to play Heatwave!!! It is such a great fighting game!!!

Bro is playin Peak!

You gotta play through the storymode Justin!

After browsing for a while to find a free and good fighting game, I found this a while back. But sadly I couldn't play it bc my laptop couldn't handle it.

Impressive play.

hell yeah!

Reminds me of Pocket Fighter visually.

Justin i have to know this is off topic but have you ever played mike tysons punchout fight game?

I hope Justin makes more Idol Showdown videos now that they released a major update with Ina and the bosses!

as a fan of Hololive and the FGC i always love seeing people playing this game and enjoying it!💗

This game is fantastic!

I wanna see you try the Next Fes update

2:04 brooo...fubuki dodge that kick easily 😂

wait didn't they use your twitch account to stream the idol showdown tournament? I assumed u already tried it back then XD. glad u enjoyed it though XD

Anyways, welcome to vtuber world, and that Hololive game is the good rabbit hole to this world you already fell at

It's been a while since I looked at Idol Showdown but I coulda sworn Aki was a zoner

There are two other bosses. Machina X Flayon and Ouro Kronii alongside ERROR Sora. and. You can unlock all three of them. Yes, you can play as the bosses.
