@@A-0602Still technically new here, I think some time around 3rd gen I think, maybe Silent line? I notice that the AI uses the technique occasionally in Nexus and Last Raven. It adds to the intensity no matter how goofy it might seem.
@@A-0602 Silent Line was the first game where almost all the arena opponents use boost hopping. A few ACs do it in earlier games. But before SL, most of them tended to do much bigger jumps from a standstill instead.
@@puddel9079 Nope, that crazy guy Ares, the last opponent in AC2 and a couple others do the boost hop and his is especially tough cause he's boost hopping with Karasawa. Most fun way to fight him is to do exactly the same thing.
In AC4A Wonderful Body is an old school Raven with low AMS compatibility, and the NEXT hes given is a prototype meant to allow people like him to pilot them. In your fight with him he walks around and boost hops, and your operator comments on it saying "why is he moving like that?" He also says "NEXTs can do that? Then what am I doing!?" a little bit into the fight.
There are basically two generations of Armored Core: The boost hop generation, and the quick boost generation. They're both great in their own way, but everyone has a favorite. Usually dependent on which game they started into the series on. I started with Master of Arena, so I will always have that nostalgia for the bunny hops. Which is why I like reverse joint legs in AC6 so much. Quick boosting along the ground feels very similar to the way boost hopping used to work. Which is just one of the many amazing ways From managed to bring pieces of all the old games together in AC6.
100% this. I never used chicken legs and I'm from AC2. Come AC6, however, the normal legs are garaged as soon as I get chicken legs. Something about the movement just seems more natural to me, but never figured out why. Turns out it's nostalgia lol
I started with AC6 and I prefer boost hopping. At the very least, I wish EN in AC6 was actually heat because that'd make more diagetic sense, since the boosters are always on anyways. I just like how much more active oldgen controls are. Mashing buttons to do anything.
after many years of playing AC It's so weird just now noticing boosters heavily effecting the speed of non boosted air movement from jumping and falling. Great vid!
Funnily enough AC4 actually threw a bit of shade at bhopping, in that it is stated that a core repeatedly jumping up and down is a telltale sign of someone used to inferior hardware being given a NEXT.
@@OCTO358 Well you gotta have better skills to be able to play with better toys. Can't really expect someone who's been playing Skyrim for a couple years to instantly be good at Armored Core
As a Gen4/5 player, I can’t imagine not having boost at all times. Major props to older players who kept the franchise alive until I was able to have a crack at em
Another point as of why bunny boosting was used back in the older gens, is because once you stop boosting, you completely stop for a full second, unless you tap again the boot button, essentially bunny boosting. So it is used not only to move with better energy usage, but also to avoid having to stop every time you boost
Exactly. You used the boosters to counter the delay from a hard landing. Made it so if you knew what you were doing you really didn't have to worry about the stability stat on your legs.
One of the best reasons to boost hop, however, is to charge your energy bar, while also not losing the momentum from just letting up on the booster. Even if you don't continue after landing, you still retain a continual movement, rather than just stopping still.
@@A-0602 Worst stop animation is in AC1-MoA, where light legs actually have a bit of a stutter in their step. Every two steps, there's a miniscule pause, but noticeable enough to really make you not want to run a lightweight build. On the other hand, Last Raven actually has more animation weirdness, wherein you can push your left analog stick (in dual-stick mode) forward not 100%, and the AC will casually walk like it's a BattleMech.
I love the Hoverlegs. Hoverlegs are sluggish in the air, and them automatically gently landing causes a delay when you want to dash after being in the air...but in exchange, they can dash very quickly across the ground AND DEEP WATER. And while dashing, if you tap the Boost button just right, not fast enough to go from dashing to flying, the tap rate just slower then that, will let you dash more efficiently, using less energy, producing less heat, and you can change directions dramatically. Especially with Hoverlegs that have great braking ability. Non-tank legs have the Bunnyhop technique. Hoverlegs have this tap-dash technique. Practice zigzaging with your dashes in random directions. Move like you're teleporting around in short distances, like that movie Jumper, or Nightcrawler from X-Men.
Oh, and by gently landing, I mean the default ground or water hovercraft state. Hover legs do actually touch the ground when idie, or using certain back weapons when not Human+ or no OP INTEBSIFY.
Even though it looked funny it really did come so naturally once you got to terms with the movement mechanics. I never knew that boosters affected aerial speeds in general though, or the bit about the hover legs
Awesome vid! I will note that in 4th gen, effective RJ usage is very similar to bunny-hopping, as you QB along the ground, jump while at speed, qb in air as needed, then qb again just before touching down and jumping again. It's much more technical and timing reliant, but the principle is the same. It's a energy conservation and evasiveness rhythm, though it is not required by any other build the way that reverse joint builds do.
I use boost hopping a lot on my heavy biped build in AC6. Its slow cruising speed and high quick boost cost means a lot of times the hop is a more efficient means of avoiding simple attacks while leaving energy open for quick boosts when needed.
@tilting_cat3344 you just tap the boost button while boost is on to jump, wait to land, and then tap again to keep jumping. It consumes no energy which means you always have energy to quick boost.
@@tilting_cat3344you can only jump when your AC leg touch a land You can land without moving to make it more frequent, but that also turn boost off & cause your land to have pause, so you need to count how long do you glide depending on "jumping height" status The utility in AC6 is, jumping causes enemy FCS to predict you again, about 0.1s before they finalize the lock again this basically causes missile to focus on the area where your jump started & cause low fire spec arms or out of range FCS to refocus Nutshell : burst movement (QB, jump, AB side strafe & descending) causes FCS to refocus & messed enemy accuracy don't just move in 1 direction at the same speed & expect enemy weapon to not catch, it will
Seems like they realized this finally in AC6. You'll notice any timr you're in the air energy recovers slower because even if you dont hold the boost button your AC is keepin you afloat
Before ac4, every ac has radiator to cool all ac system. And radiator is the biggest energy hog in ac. Until 4th gen ac come with build in air cool frame that good enough to make radiator obsolete.
Yeah. Weirdly enough with lightweight builds it's faster to just stay on the ground because the boosters are so fast and you're always boosting anyways, but if you're heavier you can gain a little speed this way.
As a newcomer to the series (AC6 my first game), bunny hopping reminds me of how I move around with reverse joint aerial attack build. Pretty fun to move around and dodge enemies
AC6 hilariously look like its going to have Pseudo Bunny Hopping Since you cant recover energy in the Air and you REALLY want to have some energy preserved or else Like a Boost, to a jump, to a quick boost, lands and repeat
you can recover energy in the air but it depends on the engine and usually 90% slower. but i feel like its back to were the series was in gen 3 and below since you really need that boost to run away and to close in
It's really build dependent. The two coral-based generators in the game can allow for a loop of endless air time with quad legs, the right weight, and good EN management
I literally only learned to boost hop because at a certain point in silent line I couldn’t fight the A rank AC’s cause they seemingly never stopped. One spectate later and I downloaded the moveset and never looked back
I used to call it "minding your p's and q's" as the old idiom goes. I would alternate mimicking the shapes of the letters with my ascension and descension paths to avoid incoming fire.
When you mentioned that boost hopping looks silly it reminded me of that time John Carmack wanted to patch Quake 1 to remove bunny hoping because he felt it was too silly and didn't match the image he had for the Quake ranger 😅.
glad i found this video now, ac6 made me fall in love with armored core but the earlier games put me off a little because of how movement worked. b hopping is probably gonna save me some stress now lol
My only experience with this series was Formula Front, so I was wondering why both my ACs and the opponents' sometimes moved like this (as I rarely took control). I figured it was optimal, but I didn't think it was a player-discovered technique coded into future installments.
@@A-0602 your content recently joined my recommended and i watched through your other videos after this one and your work is good :) im happy that smaller creators reach the front page sometimes
In AC6 bunny hopping is kinda back if you are using Quick boost but especially if you are using reverse jointed legs, which add a very powerful lateral jump to ever grounded QB you make. I never got interested in reverse legs all the way since ac2. But in AC6 they are by far the best legs if you are going for general mobility. Even the heavy weight reverse legs put lightweight biped legs to SHAME. Its really weird how much of a difference it makes. The difference in lateral speed is not even close i couldnt believe it. Ive always used biped legs but in AC6 i struggle to find a reason to use biped legs. Can anyone chime in why we would use bipeds in AC6?
kinda back sure. I do it out of habit though i doubt it does anything since being on the ground gives instantaneous energy recovery anyhow. As for why use bipeds? I think some people will never get used to how reverse joints function.
This is basically how I use the Basho legs in AC6! I run it with the speed booster! I know they said it was an out-of-date leg part, but I didn't think they meant it was by 3 generations of AC games. lol
I wanna know the trick Gen1 AI does where it basically stutter-boosts, when it only has 1% energy left. You can see it in Arena replays a lot when the AI exclusively uses energy weapons.
Had to fkn learn how to bunnyhop to finish the Destroy Radar Array/ Suicide bombers mission in Armored Core 2 AA. 40 minutes of pain and panic. Learned the hard way.
Man, I'm a souls veteran am I'm feeling at home with yo people from AC. Its only at the game that we have combat cuz yo Ravens out here are pretty much chill.

I never understood why they decided that boost hopping had to be the main method of efficient traversal. They could have balanced boost properly so that you didn't have to do something as absurd as bunny hopping just to get around properly. I'm glad future games scrubbed that altogether, it was bizarre. The worst part was when seeing AI ACs actually bunny hopping just to keep up... like they went through the effort of coding that in, instead of just fixing it from the get go!
