Being a free game with a small roster and beginner-friendly slant, I can see Idol Showdown being a great entry point into fighting games for Hololive VTuber fans. If fighting game veterans, attracted by the allure of rollback netcode, end up endeared to the characters, then the game could serve as a nice gateway between the two communities. Those outside those camps may find its appeal limited, but such is the nature of games targeted at such a specific crossover of audiences. Despite that, Idol Showdown is a worthy addition to the growing list of Hololive fan-games that stand on their own merits.

For a fan made game for Hololive fans, this is the, in my opinion, the best fighting game for this year. Sure we got Street Fighter 6 but this game is made out of pure love. The rollback is fantastic and the characters was well researched to the T!

A FAN/F2P game, with better netcode than most triple A fighting games in the market right now! You can SEE it was made out of pure ****´s F2P guys, with a lot of content, great training mode, story mode with a pseudo rpg **** IT´S F2P!!!! if they add a ranking mode, put more characters and balance it properly i can see this going into tournaments! FGC sleeping hard on this one!
