Simple controls, flashy idol fights
You pick from a roster of hololive talents, each reworked as a fighting archetype with moves pulled from their quirks and memorable moments. The control scheme is easy to learn, so co-op friends with no fighting game background can jump straight into rounds and trade flashy attacks.
Matches are fast and colorful, with pixel art fighters, hololive locations as stages, and remixes of hololive original songs behind the action. You throw out specials, chase the knockdown, and figure out which idol fits your habits.
Made for playing together
This fits co-op friends who want low-setup versus play. Join up, pick idols, and run back-to-back duels, with rollback netcode meant to keep online matches smooth.
Local multiplayer is there for same-screen sessions, and the short round structure makes it easy to pass the controller, swap characters, and keep a small group in rotation. Knowing hololive adds to the jokes and references, but the fighting itself stands on its own.
Good to know before you play?
Can you play it solo?
Yes. It supports single-player alongside multiplayer, so you can practice controls, learn an idol, and fight before bringing friends in.
Do you need to know hololive to enjoy it?
No. Fans get more from the references, locations, and move ideas, but the appeal for newcomers is straightforward: readable controls, distinct archetypes, and quick rounds.
How does online play work?
For co-op friends, that means less waiting around and more rematches.
