Take a shot every time I complain about ammo. When you're drunk enough consider helping me out on patreon.com/axelottol Food prices are crazy these days :(
honestly since g4 was iguazu's partner in crime id imagine he would care about him more than most other people. he'd give surface disrespect but otherwise hold that grudge despite the fact he largely has himself to blame.
he also doesnt care about all mind but then again I don't think any of the endings particularly suit him.
Imagine if you were Iguazu and you got a big badass mech to finally kill 621... and he shows up in your old mech and destroys you with it.
Reminds me of the last episode of Megas XLR, Rearview Mirror Mirror part 2. Where Coop finds the evil Coop's Megas after his own got blown up.
Hahahah best way to beat him
" Skill issue " right in his face
Fight Fire With There Own Fire!
This isn’t even disrespect, this is just petty
Kate, Allmind’s Vtuber model 💀
Iguazu: "What makes you special!!"
621 in Iguazu's AC: "Skill."
I did this same challenge, calling it the "Skill Issue Challenge," and really found myself struggling on all mind for hours. Eventually it became sort of a personal journey where I started to relate to Iguazu and his feelings of not being good enough. It went from laughing at the guy to a personal mission to do it, just to tell him that he was *always* good enough, he just needed to recognize what he had while he had it.
If it was a skill issue, wouldn't the lesson learned be that he always had the tools for greatness, but failed to achieve it?
@@ferinzz then it would be a matter of talent
because iguazu clearly does not lack the will
@@ramon1500I’d reckon he does, after all he’s ranked G5, he just directs his will and talent to the wrong places and he just doesn’t apply himself, instead, opting to focus his energy on being jealous.
@@ItchiestBum Maybe
But we don't know for sure what he does off-screen. He could be training or drinking his own salty tears, or both at the same time. We wouldn't know.
Personally, I admire his will and tenacity, but his goal is fruitless and stupid in the first place.
He chooses to protect his own ego over his literal life and autonomy or some good cause.
His flaw is in his obsessiveness, not incompetency.
this is why i feel bad for him. he HAS the ablity to beat us (well the A.I doesn't but yknow), he CAN be one of the best mercs... yet he focus's on bringing others down...
"This ghost of me wont last long, leave a spot for me in hell" this game is just full of bad-ass lines, im in love with it
Heads up for anyone struggling on the final boss! You can safely ignore the drones that support Iguazu in favor of focusing him down. They all self destruct once you get his health down past a certain point.
Also the damn drones: KAMIKAZE ATTACK!
It's been a bit since I fought that boss so I may be wrong but when S-ranking the fight I would just get in the middle of them and use coral assult armour, killing all the drones instantly.
Yeah I figured it out after the second time fighting him which made it really easy to a rank him
@@animatoraoi3672they can still do a kamikaze while the 1st phase is still active too, it’s just that it’s a special variant where they’re still alive and can continue fighting (talking about their tendency to mass Assault Armor)
I used the Iguazu to destroy the Iguazu.
Unironically, I love Iguazu. Or really I love all the characters of Armored Core, even the annoying brat ones like Iguazu and Snail. Their voice actors gave so much charm to the characters. I wish there were more alternative endings, like one where you could side with the Redguns and learn more about their members
I wonder if it was intended at one point but got left out or cut, there was the recruitment invitation and then Ayre mentioned the Redguns were so intent on getting into Institute City but not for the Coral, was for another "Dangerous Agenda". Some Balam MTs have combat voice lines where they call you a traitor, even if you always took their missions and didnt turn on them at the Dam Complex.
@@Tuberuser187i always assumed the part where they call you traitor was because being underground for so long sent them insane
5:52 The reason the indicator for G4's dizzy comes in so late is because of how the firing stance works on tank builds. Basically if he is already either firing or charging any of his other weapons, then he's already in firing stance so the launcher has next-to-no delay from "pressing the button" to actually firing. Giving no time for the warning indicator.
Iguazu actually does have an assault armour expansion starting from watchpoint alpha and onwards, in grid 086, and in the Institute city as well. Shame we only get to use his weaker version from the dam mission.
At 12:00 I think another reason why Balteus is easier on later playthroughs is the fact that with the OS upgrades you take less damage, and cause more damage with your weapons, not to mention having better parts it's not just the nerfs to his missile tracking.
My first play through was post nerf and I had to leave the fight and buy the pulse gun because I read that it was good for shields. Anyway I did have to leave the mission and change my gun so still hard, but I beat him immediately after soo not as difficult
@@eunie9 Yeah, Balteus is less of a skill check and more of a loadout check, which is kind of annoying given how much freedom you have to buildcraft, but only a few really feel viable on bosses.
It also makes a huge difference if you equip yourself with pulse weapons because those will eat up it's pulse shield very quickly and that results in stagger. Snail's Balteus couldn't even use it's purple beam against me because I kept the pressure on him.
I believe that after he upgrades during the fight with V2 Snail he uses a different Generator, but other than that awesome video, I’ve been playing the missions back and even PvPing with G5 so this was super fun to watch
He not only uses a different generator, but he also uses ALLMIND arms and laser orbit. He also had that kit in Depth 2
Edit: Ok, I'm at the part where he uses the upgrades
Alternative title: beating Iguazu with his own build so he can't claim you're cheating or hacking, just straight up better than him
He killed the student pilot cause he didn’t want competition.
Looking into the AC data presets, Iguazu is holding himself back by trying to be a cooler Trainer AC.
No joke, there are only 3 differences: he is using C3 Melander instead of normal Melander, using Ming tang instead of Yaba, and adding a Pulse shield.
C3 is overall a more efficient set for a lighter, faster build. But the generator and pulse shield brings Headbringer to the same speed as the Tester AC, with only a better generator and ability to reduce damage to show for it. While being 800 AP weaker.
All the parts needed to improve on his AC are Balam/Dafeng parts too, and they're just upscaled versions of his current gear.
I Swapped the Curtis for a Harris, the ludlow for a changchen, the 4 cell launcher for a 10 cell launcher, and slapped the P06SPD on there and it's noticably better. It has almost twice as much total firepower and can strafe faster than his AC can QB.
Also, I actually tried using this improved setup against Volta and Iguazu, didn't even add a core expansion to it either, and, after 6 tries, I was able to beat them, though I did have some help from the Tetrapod MT, but they ganged up on it and tore it apart pretty quickly and they really stayed on my @ss the whole time so I rarely ever managed to split them up. I used up all 3 repair kits, used up roughly half my ammo, and had 5k AP left.
The pulse shield was actually what saved me on my last attempt, reducing Volta's DPS and impact advantage over me while my MG was reloading.
That's how close Iguazu was to actually having a solid AC. That. And having a core expansion. Assault armor would have made the fight much easier. I might test that.
Update: can confirm, with assault armor I beat them in 1 go, used up less ammo, ended with more AP, and didn't even need the Tetrapod. Iguazu's refusal to use an expansion is definately the word part of his build.
I never realized how good Cyberpunk 2077 music fits this game until I heard it in the intro. I actually enjoyed Iguazu's character being salty that he keeps losing to us and actually was amazed with the final boss reveal. Great video btw!
Iguazu you are (not) a disappointment
Thank You. You've really proved that Iguazu could of been "a protagonist" if he really put his mind to it and focused.
If you feel like you've done everything you need to with AC6, consider trying Daemon X Machina. Armoured Core's awkward cousin.
Epic!
The Ludlow and Curtis both get slept on HARD. The Curtis is actually my go-to primary!
Why does cyberpunk jam so well with AC gameplay?
Both AC and CP2077 gives off “the flesh is weak” vibes, and have mega-corporations ruining people’s lives
@@kerbodynamicx472 literally lol
@@kerbodynamicx472AC takes place in the Cyberpunk universe confirmed
Iguazu is by far my favorite character from this game so it made my day to see this.
You said you kept getting hit, but often during fights you have a full energy bar.. even if quickboosting isn't as effective as normal, I'd still recommend using it a lot more.
Also you lost efficiency when killing MTs by running away and not actually destroying them. You can do that, but I'd recommend strafing round to eliminate them rather than ignoring them.
Great video! Congrats on beating Iguazu as Iguazu using Iguazu!
now... you COULD argue that the run is invalid since you used the Stun Needle in the worm fight.
because you CAN actually deploy without the Stun Needle and still do the fight.
but still in the spirit of the run and everything, well done. it was no small feat doing these runs with one specific AC design. I can imagine some of them would literally be impossible. (Ziyi run anyone? xD)
Considering Michigan sees sending people to the ice worm as a punishment judging by how he sends iguazu to the fight we can assume if 621 didn't exist or simply was iguazu Michigan would probably give him the stun needle to "poke that beast with a stick" rather than anyone else
@@kingofkows9777 Fair point
These nitpicks are really annoying in my opinion because it's like saying you "can" beat dark souls 1 deathless despite the fact that there's a mandatory death scene when you fight seath the scaleless; You just have to do some elevator skip glitch which involves a save-quit exploit to negate fall damage to do it. Sure you "can" do it, but the game by no means expects you to. I know I am comparing apples to oranges here since you can beat the coral worm stun-needless without exploits, but just because it is possible doesn't mean every challenge run has to go to some absurd lengths to complete an arbitrary challenge the game doesn't even expect you to do. Coral worm is obviously the Fromsoft special stormruler gimmick fight where all you have to do is equip the thing to win or otherwise deal with some sort of masochistic hell of fighting a boss which has way more health than it ought to have.
i've tried and killing another AC as Ziyi is basically impossible ;~;
Bad argument because they bought that weapon for the specific mission
Still want that laser greatsword
i remember looking at iguasu's build just to laugh at it, but when i saw how awful it was i couldn't help but feel sad for him. he becomes so obessed and scornful for raven he forgets how to even make a build
I love watching the skilled players showing you can beat the game with any semi coherent build, that you don't need an optimal one if you put the time in to hone your play.
Do an invincible rummy run to beat the game with only that present.
Bruv. First 2 min of this video had no business going as hard as it did. PERFECT music choice for Iguazu's arc
Do you know what the music is
@@insertedgynamehere”The Rebel Path” and “V” from cyberpunk 2077 soundtrack
The Iguazu clone which defends Snail must of been the clone that you forgot to eliminate when you awkwardly teamed up with during the cease fire between Arquebus and Ballam to take down the PCA's Coral Worm. After being "volunteered" for the front line he finally was tired of dealing with G1 Michigan's shit and defunct to Arquebus in which is why he's featuring a laser-orbiter (After maintenance repairs with Arquebus, he had to make some major changes to his AC to be compatible with Arquebus's much higher standards than Ballam's low-grade tech solutions, one of which was to replace the long depreciated pulse shield system and upgraded to their autonomous laser drone missile defense system)
laser drone and the new arms are ALLMIND based, the generator however is defintly arquebus's tech. ALLMIND favours it in her designs tho so might be ALLMIND supplied
@@incrediblewhale5627 i was just making up some fan canon for this hypothetical scenerio where iguazu is the main character but it makes sense at that point iguazu has allmind parts.
Great content, as always!
13:43 He did it! He said the thing.
I honestly don't think it would be possible with Iguazu's final boss varient, it's just so weak in that phase.
I just love how you added Cyberpunk 2077 music to it, especially Firestarter
Did an Iguazu playthrough about 1-2 weeks ago, the build is surprisingly decent, but had to actually learn some fights due to how slow the damage output is. Wonder if this vid ended up with the same playstyle or if something was slightly different.
Edit: Actually played through both Ayre and ALLMIND endings, and Ayre gave me so much trouble, more than ALLMIND, was kind of looking forward to seeing that :( Also the true ending precludes you from going against Michigan, which is what G5 has always wanted, that was a fun mission too.
Man, your intro is sick 👏
IGUAZU IS THE BEST ENEMY CHARACTER IN ALL AC SERIES
Agreed
*chough* *chough* White Glint *chough* *chough*
@@R-XI_Sulla Better then white glint
White glint: *laughs in kojima powerd murder machine which is double as fast as the fastest ac on rubicon and basically infinite energy*
@@R-XI_Sulla Iguazu: Actually laughs since he has a voice actor
The shield Iguazu has is pretty good at normal guarding, so you don't really need to bet on that 0.2 second of IG frame if you're not confident in parrying.
Also, there's a Curtis charged shot> kick> charged shot again combo, which is pretty decent considering how lacking it is for any source of burst damage this build has...
For anyone out there who wants to improve upon NPC builds, here are some advices: Switch the Curtis to the left hand, raise your shield to cover yourself whenever you're going for the charged shots (charging left hand weapons does NOT cancel out shielding animation) while laying down constant suppressive fire with your Ludlow (or just use Chang-chen, for more sustainable fire and more ammo counts). Switch the missiles to heavier version, or use the split missiles for their massive impact damage, or go for the dual missiles if you prefer aerial combat. Use the aforementioned combo to quickly rack up the damage. And remember to add some core abilities (I recommend Terminal Armor, for thematic purposes).
HEADBRINGER is, by all means, NOT a bad AC. With proper reconfiguration and right techniques, it can truly shine brighter than how it is right now. Once again this kinda shows who Iguazu really is: A half-decent pilot whose build is better at bullying those who are weaker than him, but struggles a lot when fighting someone stronger.
If Iguazu's build had either a better Generator or better arms or both his build would be a really annoying to fight Kiting Build in the making. Headbringer as it is isn't actually that bad and mainly suffers from the lack of expansion and it's arms not having good enough recoil. Which is fixed by the Upgraded one he shows up in during the 2v1 between you, Iguazu and Snail. Even the Mind Gamma isn't bad per say it's just let down by the shoulder weapons not helping the Karasawa in anyway causing it to rely heavily on it and be pretty much fucked otherwise.
now this is a good video
I'm so happy that Armored Core and Cyberpunk hold a shared happy existence in my heart, make me happy hearing the theme you chose for the intro ❤❤
Edit: While I'm here, if anyone can give pointers on making an Arasaka-Themed mech, I'm all ears 😅
Looks awesome, you should do nightfall Raven next
I identified a critical problem with Iguazu's built the moment I saw it;
He has the full auto weapon that can't charge behind a shield, behind a shield.
If you swapped the Curtis and Ludlow around, his build would become 120% better. Cause you can fire off the Ludlow from behind a shield while charging the Curtis, which doesn't drop the shield, and then you can pop off curtis charge shots where you want. When firing basic curtis shots, you can back off and not need the shield as much due to distance, which the Ludlow suffers at.
You should try to do the campaign as Walter in the Hal. I’ve been trying it and it’s an interesting challenge. Probably easier than this
I actually thought of doing this but my friend said it wasnt possible cant wait to see his face
I’m on NG+ right now and honestly Iguazu is more of a distraction that makes Volta more deadly than he actually is. I like lightweight, high firepower builds, so I’m almost the opposite of Iguazu’s Head Bringer. It looks like a decent build for the early missions, lacks any firepower for the harder guys further into the game
"Can you beat AC6 as an Envious Hater"
I think you could´ve easily change some parts of your AC throughout with parts that Iguazu had during the game while he was still alone and not part of allming. That would´ve still made sense in this scenario.
I like this type of run with other characters AC's.
Walter maybe after Nightfall?
One of the ever interesting things to note of g5. The v.2 edition. Laser drone and ALLMIND arms after he grows salty over 621's growing fame
Other pepole of course get the other three core parts of ALLMIND's set. v.III keefe gets the headpeice. RLF's shinobi guy gets the chest, and sulla gets the legs.
It just happens g5 gets the rest of the set as mind gamma when he becomes super salty he didnt win his ambush and joins ALLMIND for the coral release for a round 3 chance
Finally, the iguazu gameplay
Man, your voice is _so_ familiar, you sound like someone but I can't remember who. Love the content, though! Definitely gonna stick around
As if his inferiority complex wasn’t bad enough.
It's like the one Jet Li movie where he un-alive his alternate versions of him but with Mechs.
To defeat the Iguazu, I had no choice but to become the Iguazu.
10:00 ok damn, Ive never seen Kate take out one of the EKDROMOI before... what a high roll...
🎉But seriously beat the game with invincible rummy only it will be awesome🎉
What is the song at the very start of the intro? The entire intro goes so unbelievably hard I adore it
Cyberpunk ost
Rebel path and V’s theme
Iguazu assembly is quite balanced
But weapons are too weak
But can you beat the game as Iguana while listening to painful noises any time Ayre speaks, for the true experience
what's the song in the ALLMIND boss fight?
Man if this is possible then Iguazu's got some real skill issues
Actually Iguazu AC is pretty cancer if you force short range skirmishes until ACSOver then shoot with the linear, but its heavily dependant in a single play style that needs TO MUCH time polishing even more using his wepons(you can change them for better versions to get yourself goin and after understanding the basics, partially reverts back to the original, its actually fun :) )
Im glad if this helps anyone who tries G5 Builld
if yo uhad trouble with accuracy, i suggest free locking instead of hard locking. that way you have more accuracy in your shots but have to manage your aiming.
Next try and beat AC6 as G1 Michigan
Ok but why does Cyberpunk 2077 theme work so well for Iguazu?
Idea: Can You Beat AC6 as Cinder Carla?
you should beat the game as raven next
Can you beat it as gun 13 design spec?
Cyberpunk soundtracks go hard
Anyone knows the song he use for the cataphract
I thought that shield was only good if you parry with it instead of holding.
24:02 Btw ALLMIND is definitely doable without changing to his convergence counterpart
in phase 1 you can ignore the drone and focus only on her, iguazu build has enough mobility and kite range to do that, just beware the annoying knife guy
phase 2 is exactly as you said in the video if you can parry his attack constantly you'll be fine and the difficulty of this phase came from how much allmind's spiders pay attention to you anyway
phase 3 is also the same minus spiders, but you also have to doge big attack since it usually go through shield
It maybe hard but still doable
AND steelhaze orthus is ALSO doable in arquebus balteus fight stop calling it bad it just have different play style
yeaaaah, this duo is incredibly difficult conpared to so many other missions. I don't know why, it is just a stagger fest impossible to dodge everything.
When I was using the curtis I noticed The charge shot is more of a finisher. It has a TON of stagger, often times 50-70% of the bar. But a big portion of it is temporary and decays in a second.
The machine gun... Has never had enough ammo for the damage it does.. Really sad because I love the gun. Maybe I need to go back with the duo of Curtis and SMG instead.
So it turns out, without a doubt, unequivocally, that the thing that seperated us from each, was a skill issue.
It’s called ludlow
Just proves its less of an ac issue an just his skill issue
What's the intro music?
Cyberpunk
Rebel path and V theme
I kinda hope the result is no xD Just to spite Iguazu
Can you beat iguazu as iguazu?
Iguazu vs Iguazu comes down to who has the bigger hater energy
Still waiting on how to zeta (3 months)
I know we love to rag on Iguazu, but... he really is a tragic figure. I know some people with severe childhood trauma that manifests very similarly to how he acts, and it's just depressing.
"What makes you so special?" In all seriousness, its because we enjoy AC combat. Its clear iguazu doesnt.
Iguazu's AC is called head bringer not head hunter
great i now rememebr the gabriel and tohru memes from back when. someone do shit like that with g5's voice
His ac is not bad, just average...
You say his build sucks but a few modifications would have made him a real threat.
Moral of the story? Rage less, tinker more.
hey buddy I just want you to know that I did this without using the stun needle on ice worm
step up
That’s not a parry shield
no, he's literally a loser. But you can beat end game Iguazu with it because he's a loser. But if you can do that to the end game final boss, that means you can beat the game with it. But that's only because you're not Iguazu.
Was a 140 second intro really necessary ?
I whined a lot and still beat the game so yeah I guess it’s possible
Iguazu's AC isn't even that bad, he i just bad at the game...
Head *Bringer*, not Headhunter. And Ludlow is pronounced "ludd-lo", not "lood-lau".
G5 such a looser
I hate ayre even more now...
that's embarrasing.....
I still hate iguazu
Allow me to introduce you to V.II snail:
@@Vross_MKII I hate him too
>english dub
immediately clicked off your video after making this comment
The hell does that have to do with anything?
Please can you do a run using Walter's AC?
Do it as Walters AC
