Basho FTW!

Not really, doing some practice rounds helps to get me warmed up. Then again, when I was grinding for S rank for the first time I did feel that way a bit but ever since it's just about enjoying the game, at least for me. The key is to not take each match so seriously and try to enjoy yourself. Hope that helps!

Thanks! Profile pic checks out lol.

@dsaBOSS It's ironic, isn't it...?

Seriously, it's very dependent on the scenario. Most of the time retreating like that seems to end in disaster.

A RaD enjoyer, huh? Challenge accepted.

@@dsaBOSS Godspeed, Raven.

Really? That's pretty awesome. I don't use the slicer often, so that's good to know. I thought only the plasma thrower can tank hits.

@dsaBOSS you can test the timing by trying to kick steel haze ortus out of his charge attack in the arena. 👍🏾

You might be right. I never had the issue before and I hold it down to quickly deactivate AB when I need to. Old Rat Catcher habit lol. 😅

Coral, abide with Rubicon!

@@dsaBOSS Coral, endure within us all!

How'd you deal with Duckett's recoil on Basho arms? They don't really handle weapons with that much kick too well, even with Ocellus.

They are the best melee arms in the game. I might try a full corp setup, couldn't really do that here since BAWS has no dedicated shoulder options.

You really need to be up close to make any rapid fire weapon work on Basho arms.

@dsaBOSS Dang it XD. I suprise you any at all.

Like the Pile Bunker, Slicer can just end builds quickly. I should know, I've been on its receiving end too many times lol. Oh man, AC1 Nineball was rough. I think I ran Karasawa, having heavy hitting weapons makes a huge difference. His pulse gun melts like crazy.

Thanks for the advice, man! Hoping this'll help due to the fact that my mentality does not allow me to run...

💯

Is that right? Even then these meta names are so bizarre. I miss the basic "dual rifles" or "missile boat" naming schemes. The single Ransetsu RF is one of the only options I found the arms can handle for ranged skirmishes (I also wanted a BAWS weapon for the theme). I tried Harris and full auto weapons, but unless I was in their face 99% of the time I was just missing my shots.

@@dsaBOSS not even the Etsujin worked? I'm pretty sure you can throw that weapon on almost any build and it just works, truly an easy gun for RLF recruits. Harris is more for picking the perfect moment to send out a charged shot. but yeah it is true that this kind of stuff is played at a very close range. The Japanese are a bit uh, theatric with their mech naming schemes, lol. Couple of the recent meta builds are called "PowerBaka" and "TokuRobo" depends on what the first ranked player using it calls the build sometimes too.

@@varyagace Maybe because I was facing kites at the time, but Etsujin was missing every other burst. Another reason why I leaned towards Ransetsu. That's interesting, back in my For Answer days a lot of the top Japanese players I faced had a more straightforward naming convention. When I hear stuff like "neo statue" or "power baka" I'm just wondering how anyone who isn't a hardcore pvp player is supposed to know what that means lol.

Thanks for watching and enjoying my content! I'm sure you'd have a blast with AC6. I love how the AC community continues to expand.

@ thanks man and take care.

@@yh7229 Thanks! Hope to see more comments from you. I like that my audience is a nice balance of both new and returning fans.

Oh yeah, when I'm entirely invested in close-range those are my go to boosters. This loadout calls for a more balanced option IMO.

Sometimes fashion > function. If you're a Basho arm enthusiast, try the rest of the frame. I think you'll like the defense it offers.

Putting all those LOADER 4 named ACs to shame. 🤣

That could be cool. The Nacht frame has a lot of potential.

​@@dsaBOSS best buddy is the only acceptable loadout.

@@Echo_419 So you're a Rusty purist, eh?

@@dsaBOSS I simp for Rusty as hard as I do for the Rat Catcher. 🤷‍♂️

Funny you mention that, my initial loadout for the frame was double melee, but since I made that Exia video recently I wanted to do something different. Having a balance between melee and range is nice, don't you think?

I'm guessing you also run the Ocellus FCS because when I tried using any of the pistols on these arms I just couldn't hit the broadside of a barn lol.

Don't tempt me. I've already made some builds that turned Ranked into hard mode but Jailbreak would be impossible mode. 😅

@@dsaBOSS That's the fun! XD

For real, when I was putting this together I quickly realized how tricky it was when it came to finding the right weapons. The arms in particular with their poor recoil and tracking limited my options.

That's what separates a BASHO from a BAWSHO. 😂

Interesting. Lately I only run into lightweights in ranked.

​@@dsaBOSS Huh, maybe it's a high rank thing? I can gurantee that you're better than me so maybe it's that

Thanks for stopping by and asking. I would suggest checking out my builds based on Jack-O and Blue Magnolia. Both do a really good job at making the Karasawa work. But if you stick around, I have a few more Karasawa builds in the works.

@ Thanks for the reply, I’ll check those out

@@ericgolub8589 No problem. Always happy to help a fellow Karasawa enthusiast.

Literally 9/10 melee builds I run into use it lol.

That would've been a nice callback like they did with IBIS. Glad you like the recreations, I had a lot of fun making them.

First form: HAL 826 Second form: CEL 240 Final Form: SOL 644

Both have some good ranged attacks. I would imagine the missile rat was questioning everything when they saw a tank keeping up.

SONGBIRDS were nerfed in first balance patch, and it was justified. Initially it was just faster, lighter EARSHOT with its damage split between two projectiles, and also had more ammo.

As was mentioned, the first balance patch nerfed the Songbird, Zimmerman, etc. I do wish they would give the Songbird a slight buff, it's strictly worse than Earshot now, while Earshot feels like a grenade cannon should.

That sounds like an awesome tie-in, since the Internecine alongside the drones and Pulverizers are supposed to be reactivated ancient technology.

It really is! Coupled with the Songbird, you're constantly blasting any opponent.

Not this season. Since I've hit S rank/made top 100 a few times, I haven't really felt the urge to rank up. It's nice seeing some build variety for a change too.

Turns out Pulverizers were designed to clean up ranked lol. 😂

The first is from Nexus the rest from Last Raven.

I also include that info in the title and intro for people that might've not played the original games. But yes, the first one is from Nexus and the rest are from Last Raven.

That initial feeling of dread seeing the missile rat became pure bliss when the tank was able to keep up and pulverize it. 😅 That's a good idea. I'm still working on some requests on recreations, but if I get the time I'll look into doing that.

@@dsaBOSS Do you have discord? it would be cool if you create a server for us ;)

@@TheStamenBoy I might do that eventually, we'll see.

Nice, how're you liking the update so far? There's a bit of a generator shake up for sure. I just dislike how they nerfed the Duckett after it got a much needed buff.

@ uhhhmmm I’m still using the nerf stuff because I’m not going to change ALL my mechs but what I have noticed is more variety. I love using weird stuff no one uses in custom battles and it’s nice to see other builds. Of the duckett nerf…. I still don’t get why the nerfed them when they should prioritize nerfing other stuff but hey, game is still fun AF!

Unknown/Nineball really surprised me. It would be even scarier before the Songbird nerf.

You can't prove that lol. Some lore for my personal ACs would be cool. I think the Rat Catcher has probably the closest thing to lore so far.

@dsaBOSS I have video evidence in a 4K you can't hide!

Indeed, they're good even after they were nerfed way back when. More importantly, they make great looking blade arms. 😅

I just wish the hover tank functioned closer to hover legs from the previous games. Could've been a nice hybrid of a tank and a quad.

@@dsaBOSS you me and both. The lack of weapon arms and proper hover legs made me enjoy this game much less than the old gen games but don't get me wrong AC6 is really good.

@@ColtonGamingTV I feel ya. For me it's the lack of extension parts. Love AC6, but as someone who played the other games, it feels off that they didn't include the part categories that built upon each entry.

@@dsaBOSS yeah the lack of extensions sucks too. Hopefully that will be remedied in whatever comes next. Whether it be a new game or dlc.

That's true. Glad you like my approach to the blade arms. Come to think of it, I don't think these kinds of arms were ever available to the player, right?

@@dsaBOSS there was a dual blade arm available on 3rd gen, but it wasn't nearly as strong as the Moonlight, and honestly it was pretty terrible. We never got the cool blue long blade arms.

Sorry but no

@@varyagace That's right, physical blade arms would've been a cooler concept. It would clearly work too as they were made for the Pulverizer designs.

Sounds about right. Nine Breaker seems to be its own thing with Nineball being potentially based on the original and used to train Ravens.

Probably why they were my favorite third gen entries. 😄

Facts, hopefully we hear something about a DLC/sequel soon.

Can't escape it lol. That would make for a cool AC name though.

Gundam games never did seem to focus on graphical fidelity.

yeah bandai do be like that. it's frustrating

​@@dsaBOSSthe gameplay gundam game also suck so where they put the money more in their project ?

That sounds wild. I've pulled off a few raw bunks, but I'll check it out.
