@@MikaHolic_Channel_OFFICIAL Especially waiting for the Plate Up from Subaru POV. Towa channel chat was saying something about pizza master bijou, I was wondering if they said stuff like that.
The crazy part is that even if they saw it, they still wouldn't have any idea of just how much work Grindstone put into that skip alone. Biboo mentioned in the end that they began struggling with that skip and realized that the timing changes every time they open the client. This is not something you can pick up from watching a speedrun - they figured it out, adjusted their timing, practiced it in the morning of the tournament and kept the game running to make sure the timing stays the same. During the run, you can even hear them call out the "super early" timing before acing that skip. I would have loved to see Miko's reaction to that skip - it would have blown her mind and she would have screamed so loud it'd still echo in my ears... and she'd still have no clue that perfecting that skip was even more impressive than what it looked like.
That laser skip will change every each game, even if not calculate with ping issues So they can do that so smoothly success in once try just because they practice like crazy that why they can show this impressive crazy score to us 😂😂😂 Btw, even their highest score on the stream is enough to be the first place, but they still want to do their best to bring us the impressive performance 😊😊😊😊 thank you grindstone their hard work ❤
to be fair, the 300 meters distance is quite deceiving if you play the game. Once you reach the Elevator, you shot up from 830 to 1000. That's why speedrunners always use the Elevator as Bench Mark. It's still 90 meter Difference from Chihaya team, though. So it's still a clear victory, but definitely not as far as people make it out to be.
@@arlangunadi8674Probably, but this is a timed tournament and every second counts. To fit and make them reach the elevator is even a priority they put themselves into. Yes it may have been insignificant--but if you cannot clutch those numbers before they reach the elevator, that gap wouldn't even be added. A 5-second head start is enough to give you an edge--with skills, you can widen it more and have more time to do it. They even said themselves, not the best ( my goodness these two AHAHAHAHHAHA) but could be better. When you can outrun the lead who was also doing the same shortcuts and techniques--it all boils down to skill.
@@arlangunadi8674the gap is significant. If you based it on time, Grindstone reached Towa/Chihaya’s final spot 2 minutes and 20 seconds earlier. I think that is a huge gap
You know shit is serious when the organizer of the tournament Towa considers GrindStone to be the the strongest team, they even watched Biboo and Kaela's practice stream to try to learn their strats. Now all of HoloJP is fully aware of the two's POWER!
As OP as Team Subaru is (Myself still surprised that Kanade won the first game, and then there's Gigi on puzzle + Fubuki Exit 8 speedrun, Pico Park tied first place, MK8 first place, Biboo first crown win, etc). Grindstone is still the one who makes my heart racing and I'm so happy they won that game. My 2 grind oshi is unstoppable 🔨🗿💛💜
The funny thing is, during the announcement stream when Towa was introducing the teams. Iirc, Towa’s chat was saying something like “Isn’t Subaru’s team too powerful?” and Towa answered with “Are they?”. Lo and behold, her chat was right, Subaru’s team were very stacked. On another note tho, I think the win from Kanade and then Grindstone performance in Chained Together might have had a hand in hyping up the rest of the team to do their best.
Man, I'm so proud of them. They practiced insane skips so hard while trying to figure out how to beat their ping issues. I'm so glad they won. GRINDSTONE SWEEP ✋🗿🤚
So while waiting for the vods, I went back to check on Grindstones pov and Towa-Chiya pov and it's crazy that Grindstones reached the pipes a whole 1min 30s earlier than the runner-up Towa-Chiya team.
It's funny how fierce the competition has become with Kanade unexpectedly getting 1st place followed by grindstone speedrun and pekoniko smooth climb. I hope Yellow Team especially Subaru can rest their throat
If you sync their POV's, it was actually pretty dead even up until the vault, where grindstone just had better execution on the buttons. Then after the first try laser skip they pulled way ahead and it was pretty much over from there. The reason why it looked close on towa's official broadcast was because kaela's POV on the main screen was ~30s behind chihaya's POV. Still glad to see chihaya is potentially another competitive type, i was kinda bummed after hololive lost 3 gamers in rapid succession. Honorable mention goes to the pekoniko pair. They kept up with the top 2 sweaty teams at the start just on clean execution alone. They fell behind after all the speedrun tricks came into play. Overall I'm just happy that this event exists so that the gamers in the company have a chance to shine. It appeals to people like me who aren't super into the idol stuff. Thank you Towa-sama for organizing this event! Edit: I just remembered the timesmith chained together collab. Kaela's been ready for this race for months!
Towa/Chihaya finished second in the spot where Bijou/Kaela had been at 18:00 (two minutes before the end). Towa/Chihaya were struggling at that point, while Grindstone were still rushing ahead through that section. I think the JP team didn't train that far or they were exhausted. 2 minutes would still only be about 50-100 m in most parts of the map, but Grindstone won by over 200 because they made it to an elevator that brings them from 800 to 1100 m. Time was up right as the elevator passed 1000 m. It was an impressive and clear win, but more competitive than I thought! Towa and Chihaya really showed up strong. I wish we would get another head to head between these teams now 😭
That craziest part was the elevator goes up at like 3 meters a second, and they passed 1k exactly at 20 minutes. You couldn't plan that if you wanted to.
All us Pebbles knew the power of Grindstone! When you're up against Grindstone, prepare to have your work cut out for you! :D Even a chatter in Ollie's chat said: Grindstone is dangerous
i think the laser spike skip made them tied with Towa’s team. After that, Towa team made a couple of missteps during the spinning cross and the lead grew further from there.
This isn’t the first time you’ve done it, but I find it very strange when you take someone’s reaction like Miko going “Sugoi” from a completely different moment, and just place it after something else. I guess it’s a TikTok thing , and I guess you don’t feel disingenuous doing it. But I find it very, very odd. Because I know that’s not what she was responding to because I saw it live. But everyone else who never did. It just goes with a narrative that you create. It’s not bad here , but you definitely have done some sketchy stuff in the past. Especially with “drama” stuff. I just finally kind of egregious.

Fun fact: this is the first time Grindstone ever participate in Hololive Event as a pair, that's why so many people were so hyped about this..
First and last time 😂
@@sozetsukokai Biboo said Its already nerfed that they didnt put Kaela in Plate up xD
@@TriChaser oh yeah,I remember she was so good at that game, imagine kaela screaming WHERE ARE THE TOMATOES to biboo
And the last time, next big event we see them split up (same or different teams) and possibly against each other in different teams.

Too bad they didn't see the laser skip first try. Actually amazing how they did so well with their ping issue
Ping issue?

too bad the observer missed lot of epic skip
You know it's serious when Biboo isn't ":D"
and Kaela doesn't "silent laugh"
They were totally rocked in
"Stole the number one spot."
I don't think anybody else even came within visual range of the number one spot...
Around 300 meters away to be honest
Towa team was actually leading for a pretty good portion of the match but then grindstone really locked in and gained a lot of ground

Yes in their practice stream whenever they failed doing a shortcut, they would be like "Kaela and Bijou could do this one", and it motivated them..
this giving vibe similar to how JP side finally aware of FWMC true nature in GTA lmao
@@irvancrocs1753So it's like Kronii and Ceci's team too Lmao
Biboo snuck in that "over 9000(hundred)" dbz meme at the last second as if to remind us that she is still in fact a memelord pogchamp
I didn't even pick up on that lol
Putting two hardcore gamers of Hololive together with a very natural synergy with each other.
Of course GrindStone will claim the victory easy.
As OP as Team Subaru is (Myself still surprised that Kanade won the first game, and then there's Gigi on puzzle + Fubuki Exit 8 speedrun, Pico Park tied first place, MK8 first place, Biboo first crown win, etc).

Correction: FBK did participate in Exit 8 but it was Kanata who was the fastest in 2nd round while FBK was third in 1st round..
and Lui-louch is really great with Mario Kart
Gigi 1st then Biboo second on the puzzle

glad biboo can communicate jp member with passion
Stole? Nah bro they snatch it like a smooth criminals
Smooth like a rock slide 😂😂😂
heee hheeeee
Ok but Biboo without " :D " is the scariest thing I have seen
Rocked in o_o
blacksmith and material
they're just strengthening eachother
they are so locked in
You could feel it watching the stream. I don't know if I've seen Kaela that locked in since the Pokemon Unite tournament
@@gotenks1114 she gotta represent for her daughter cause she is rocked in
Arrow disappeared from my search results for a bit. Glad to see it appear again searching for NY Festival stuff. I need more beejoe content 24/7.
Their tandem name is really spot-on.
I hope everyone from Hololive gets the opportunity to react to their run, it was so insane to watch
Like the members watching the GTA clips

Dont let this competitive gamer's practicing, that would be overkill
Well, they did the practicing in 6 hours yesterday😆
Queue the "You are Stronger" theme from Persona 5 for Grindstone team energy.
Sasuga mother and daughter gamer duo, the grinds never stop. They're always locked in xD
Hard work paid off
The Power of the Rock is strong with this duo that is Miss Kaela and Princess Biboo!
Mother and Daughter have insane coordination.
Can you smell what the Rock and the Blacksmith are cooking?
Even Kronii, the sweatiest gamer in EN, regretted her luck
Honorable mention, Aki and Ayame duo is peak too!
Having this mother and daughter in one team is illegal, the world should know about this lmao
grindstone is truly a fearsome duo.
Biboo got omedetou'ed this time

VERY yes very practice!
Hell yeah!
This is why you shouldn't put Kaela, Biboo, and Gigi in the same team 🗿

Why am I thinking of that Huak Tuah song when I see Biboo's png at 3:19?
It doesn't help that whenever I see Towa, I'll always remember that if she collabs with Lui then the collab name can be HawkTowa😅
im glad biboo nemesis that is gravity, didn't ruin this moment 😅
They should duel with Korone.
what if kaela and beejoe not in the same team?
Hard because Ping

Am i stupid or did they have 1120m?
They were on the elevator from Hell to Earth when time ran out, so wherever it got them to at the 20-minute mark, that's the official result.
