Now, a little detour: before dwelving on Myth's numbers, here is an update for that
* TRUE AVERAGE OF CCV, PER GEN / WAVE, HOLOEN + NIJIEN + STARSEN *
chart
>THE MAJORS1) Councilrys.
>pushing IRyS into this gen because she's all but officially in it, doesn't change significantly the numbers and for the past so many months she's been absent from this chartThey found an "island of stability" around the 6k line and, if it might not look like much, it's honest work and it puts them as a beacon of hope for the beleaguered EN market.
2) Myth.
Ina's absence is sorely felt, Gura's even more so and their current trajectory is "AAAHHHHH pink wojak" tier, as their Japan arc and 3D Showcase arc just completely fell out of range for the 30 days chart.
Even then, as shown by the "un-deadbeated, un-chickened, max-sharked, max-tacod" at
>>46625351 , the core of their problems goes way beyond just Gura and Ina's absence, it is more fundamental.
3) Luxiem.
They had their very own "AAAHHHHH pink wojak" earlier, going all the way to drop below 4k and then stabilized mid march with the return of their "full strength".
Their outlook is not positive tho, specially for a wave that, at their height, were pushing above the 8k line.
>THE MINORS4) Obsydia
They just picked up a major boost likely coming from Selen organizing the NIjiEN Puyo2 tournament.
Even with that boost, they're tracking at similar numbers they had back in their
>pre Luxiem, never hit 10k ever days, having lost most of the boost the boys gave them when they debuted
5) Noctyx
They hit their CAREER LOW just this week, and their trajectory mirrors Luxiem's, except divided by 2 in both the heights and the lows.
6) Lazulight
Like Obsydia, they are tracking numbers similar to their pre Luxiem days, having lost all of the buff the boys brought to their wave
THE MIDGETS
7) Tempus
After months of continuous recline broken only by Tempus 2 debut, they seem to have reached rock bottom, touching their career low mid March.
Since them, and in a lot thanks to their participation in Hal's tournament, they stabilized right below the 1.5k mark but, so far, unable to cross it because whatever buff they achieve is being offset by a recline of some of their top members: Bettel, Magni and Vesper.
8) XSoleil
Like Tempus, they are in a months long uninterrupted recline but, unlike Tempus, they don't seem to have found rock bottom yet.
It seems like some high profile collabs of their JP members have slightly raised their average in the previous days, putting them ahead of...
9) Ethyria.
Back before and in December 2021 people in this thread used to make fun of NijiEN numbers because they never had a single entry over 10k and because Ethyria was crashing and burning their whole branch with numbers not infrequently at 3 dgits.
Right now, their average is back at that level, also trailing their pre-Luxiem debut numbers
Right now they are also trailing XSoleil(!)
>THE PUNCHLINE10) iLUNA. There is that The Onion headline of the
>Man Who Thought He'd Lost All Hope Loses Last Additional Bit Of Hope He Didn't Even Know He Still HadThat's iLUNA, but collectively. They fell into 3 views hell back in February, and now their average dropped below 900 too.
>THE SUMMARY1) With regards to the ability to attract a consistent and recurring live audience, the whole EN field is dying except for Council.
2) Both companies made big bets and lost big with them, with Tempus 1 and Tempus 2 plus iLUNA and XSoleil failing to gain any ground for their respective companies, and being suspected of having had the opposite effect and pushing away segments of the live audience
>THE "I AIN'T READING ALL THAT I'M HAPPY FOR YOU THOUGH OR SORRY THAT HAPPENED" SHORTER SUMMARYEverybody is fucked. Council is less fucked.
