Rusty is proud of his aim and accuracy. When you're fighting the ice worm Rusty proudly says " I won't miss." But when he says "You flew just out of reach." That's his way of admitting he couldn't hit you. 😢
I love the fact that as SOON as Rusty hears your name as the liberator who’s mission is to free Rubicon, he IMMEDIATELY answers to the call and arrives to help, almost as if he was hopeful that something like this was going to happen and he was preparing for it.
I mean, he says it himself in the setup fight that Arquebus sent him on: "All that power without purpose makes you dangerous." I get the feeling him and Raven where the first two to notice how much potential 621 had in shaping the future of Rubicon, Rusty's moment being when we outshined everyone in Operation Wallclimb, and Raven beginning to suspect shortly after they began hearing their name popping up in sortie after sortie that they had no part of. The respective duels between both of them cemented our place on the board as a proper wild card, one choice away from changing Rubicon forever.
@@markgallagher1790he calls you buddy either way, even in the fires of raven ending he doesn’t hold a crude for 621 but also that he still has to stop us
He was the first to respond. He dropped his plans to facilitate yours. I reckon at this point Rusty may admit you’re the better pilot, and as such, is more than happy to play second fiddle in the fight. Think about it. For however many years, he’s been undercover, watching rubicon slowly choke, as he kills his own people, does the bidding of snail. All in the hope that one day he can turn the tables against an entire occupying army and free rubicon. His shoulders bore the weight of every rubiconion, past, present, and future. Then you come along, not only do you prove to be immensely powerful, but with that call to arms you expose your purpose. It lines up with his. Like Theoden at helms deep, like the troops holding Vienna, like the boys at rorkes drift, insurmountable odds you fight against anyway. Because you must. But then Gandalf appears, the winged hussars arrive, and the zulus leave. Rusty must feel that overwhelming relief, it’s not done yet, but he’s not alone, and his chances just got greater. He’ll happily follow your lead on the smart cleaner, take the fleet for you, and in the end, die for you. Because he knows you won’t stop, just like him. He knows rubicon is safe in either one of your hands, he just has to get one of you across the finish line. It doesn’t matter how
@@ereynolds72 In that moment, wherein you plant your banner on the Xylem, Rusty knows that here is the spearpoint that will be driven into the corporations heart. Even if he dies, he will be happy, knowing that the people have a fighting chance against the exploitation.

That mission is probably the best mission to play imo. Wrecking that fleet only to have that final confrontation. A warrior like Rusty deserves a proud and glorious death!

We actually don't know if Rusty/Steel Haze and Middle Flatwell/TSUBASA died in Alea lacta est. It could be possible that Allmind took care of them, but there is also a chance that they made it out alive, after we have thought them inside the cave. @@HiroyaFujimiya
The first ending I did was liberator of Rubicon, I was literally crying the whole mission since the moment Rusty came to aid us, I love this fucking game so much.
It never happened, but I wish I had the chance to team up with rusty to take down the interceptor fleet on the Xylem. Infinitely zipping around the sky while those lyrics blast harder than the ships you take down, V.II Snail chasing you and Rusty through the air, slicing through his own allied ships to achieve victory over two unruly mutts. Just you, your buddy and the endless sky.
Fun fact (spoilers): His second AC is called Steel Haze Ortus. The Ortus is the precise moment where the sun is breaking through the horizon during sunrise. It all connects....AC, song, scene, context....
I refuse to believe anyone that says AC6 doesn't have a story. A story they don't like, maybe, but there's quite a story in it. I spent the final missions of each path fighting through the tears as I had to fight everyone I'd grown to like in a world otherwise full of misery, desperately hoping this would be the time it worked out.
@@Weyland_Punani I meant in the entire galaxy. For the liberator ending we get the sense something wrong happened since Ayre was apologizing and the coral would’ve continued building up.

@@Weyland_Punani looks like someone didn’t 100% the game or understand consequences. Either way I’m not here to argue about which ending is better because none of them are good or bad, they’re all grey and the player chooses an end to their OWN story in this wonderful world created by such an awesome studio
@@arcturus960 uh what? There was nothing in what Ayre said that indicated to anything bad happening. It's just flavor dialogue for you to try the other ending. Walter does the same thing in the Fires of Raven ending.
This is going to sound cheese but playing witb Rusty gives me that hype feeling ive lost growing up. When he flew in from tailing you? Hype. Showing up to help you liberate Rubicon? Hype. I wont miss... I CANT STOP! ONLY I CAN FLY HIGH ENOUGH! God hes such a fucking great character
This fight broke me…the fight got so intense we just kept going higher…hearing this swell… The ground was gone, the sky the only limit…then only to finally win and watch him plummet…to be told I flew out of reach…
This man right here will forever have my respect as an AC pilot and a human being. If he was in Gundam universe, he would stand up there with the likes of Quantro, Mikazuki, Lockon, Akihiro,... for sheer bromance and friendship.
Rusty is the first character to treasure the player like theyre human and a friend, in the whole universe of the Armored Core franchise. Ive played Silent Line thru Verdict Day, everyone just wants to kill you.
Me and Rusty popping eachother's terminal Armor and using our last heal simultaneously has to be my favorite moment ive had in AC6 by far. Rusty won in the end but i genuinely didnt care. That moment alone was worth it.
@@NotZealot "But I didn't. I dragged my wounded body and reached the ground zero of Fires of Ibis. There were still people living there. They were the ones to save me."
Best song in the game, favorite mission in the game when fighting alongside him, as the camera pans to the surface of Rubicon and shows the battle. Goosebumps when Rusty said we inspired them to fight. And when he said only one person can keep up with him... he's just THAT guy. Balteus theme and final boss themes as a close second. Rest in peace, Buddy.
That moment i beat Snail for the last time made feel amazing but . . . . . . . . . . my heart immediately *broke* the moment Rusty suddenly got killed right after, it made the win feel painful and it got worse when they revealed who killed our bro, R.I.P Rusty, he was the realest one o7
Still the best song in the game, hands down.. I listened to a 30 minute version of this today while I studied... I got zero studying done and burned 217 calories 😂😂
Whoever at FromSoft deciding to make Rusty the Hero of the game, and our character the Raven was brilliant. We can either play the hero as well, and fight along side Rusty... Or...
When I played this mission for the first time, the moment Rusty appeared and the fight began, we both straight up assault boosted past each other at the start of the fight and I had some MAD flashbacks to the final phase with Pixy right there on the spot, holy fuck There's absolutely no way that the madlads at From weren't inspired by Pixy in creating our boy Rusty, there's just no way man
Standing in a cold place Let me know My steel core peeling away All my blood let me rise Rusted pride let me rise High and dry I fly high Watch the sun rise in the dawn Rust away Lost to the wind Watch the sun rise in the dawn I fly high I fly high *Source is the official lyrics book that comes with the physical soundtrack
I have never played an armored core game in my life I couldn’t even tell you who the main protagonist is. But man do I love rusty, easily one of the most memorable characters, perhaps besides v2 snail but that’s because he’s an afterclap, v4 rusty is just character done right, memorable, likeable, good guy. 👍 he gets my approval for best companion.
Literally my only motivation to get the other endings was because I did not want rusty to die The infinite energy duel with him was so damn cool but I felt so bad for winning
You know, if I had a nickel for every time I've played a Japanese game who's initials are AC, where you're a mute mercenary with a shady friend who calls you "Buddy" and is actually secretly a revolutionary...I'd have two nickels. Not a lot, but hey, weird it's happened twice.
The lyrics make perfect sense. It's about how despite his human body being broken and his mech body destroued his spirit still can fly, even as both his bodies rust away.
I faced him last night in the burning skies over Rubicon. It really hits hard when he asks what we gave up in order to fight so hard. I think that line is meta in asking whats it worth to light The Fires of Raven. I remember what Walter and Carl said to and did with us. That were carrying on the Mantle but it still feels bitter to face him down atop this marvel of an Ark knowing what will happen. Thats what really makes me believe Fires Of Raven is the bad ending of the lot. And in a way it makes fighting alongside him In the Liberator of Rubicon all the sweeter after all the senseless carnage and destruction. That its a real unambiguously good fight.
I'm currently starting my 4th playthrough and i think about the endings and characters a lot, just tryijg to piece things together in my own way. But really what I think is that there is no "good" ending, each time i beat it I always had a pang of guilt from all the pilots and characters that either I killed or were killed because of my decisions. I guess the matter of which one is the good ending is subjective. And I will always feel empty when I do them. I did not enjoy killing Rusty, Carla, Chatty, Walter, Michigan, even Iguazu a little bit (though it was more like putting down an animal). Hopefully some DLC comes out and we can get more.
Pretty sure the third ending is the closest to a good ending. Rusty is still alive from what I know, Carla and Walter's mechs may have been damaged but their cores looked mostly intact, and you found your freedom.

@@Weyland_Punani I wish you good luck as well
@@arcturus960 uh what? There was nothing in what Ayre said that indicated to anything bad happening. It's just flavor dialogue for you to try the other ending. Walter does the same thing in the Fires of Raven ending.
This is going to sound cheese but playing witb Rusty gives me that hype feeling ive lost growing up.
When he flew in from tailing you? Hype.
Showing up to help you liberate Rubicon? Hype.
I wont miss...
I CANT STOP! ONLY I CAN FLY HIGH ENOUGH!
God hes such a fucking great character
Rusty feels like the type of guy who can make the best comfort food possible and/or be a barbecue god
This fight broke me…the fight got so intense we just kept going higher…hearing this swell…
The ground was gone, the sky the only limit…then only to finally win and watch him plummet…to be told I flew out of reach…
I like how the fan base has come to the consensus that rusty is scruffy looking.
“Never thought the plan could go so wrong. It’s good to team up with you again , couldn’t have asked for a better silver lining”

"You guys out of luck, there's only one person who can keep up wity me"
Bro i got injected some insane motivation, i've never felt so happy.
This man right here will forever have my respect as an AC pilot and a human being. If he was in Gundam universe, he would stand up there with the likes of Quantro, Mikazuki, Lockon, Akihiro,... for sheer bromance and friendship.
Bro's second mech even looks like a gundam, coincidence, i think not
It was even designed by the same artist that designed the 00 gundam mobile suits
@@nomus1172holy shit!
We won't stop, only we can fly high enough with this one 🔥🔥🔥
V.IV: You ran out of luck, Theres only 1 person who can keep up with me.
Walter: Story Time's over.
Walter: Imma firing mah lazor
Snail had his last laugh.
Raven may be the hero Rubicon got, but Rusty is the hero Rubicon deserved
Guys? I think we found the "could be the main character if we weren't playing the game" guy
Rusty is the first character to treasure the player like theyre human and a friend, in the whole universe of the Armored Core franchise. Ive played Silent Line thru Verdict Day, everyone just wants to kill you.
How about Joshua o Brian from AC4? Man is a friend force to fight his friend for his home
@@solowing9544 Dude had ulterior motives. He wasn't forced but coerced.
@@Evangelion543joshua was definitely the closest we had as a friend
@@Evangelion543bro he got nuthin on you. His colony is taken hostage by omer
Walter always treated you as a human. Your entire mission was getting credits to undo the augmentation. Also Ayre.
Girl: stop saying dump thing
Rusty: I can flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy aiiiii
Me and Rusty popping eachother's terminal Armor and using our last heal simultaneously has to be my favorite moment ive had in AC6 by far.
Rusty won in the end but i genuinely didnt care. That moment alone was worth it.
We never really see the faces of these characters but we fell in love with them immediately, From Software Characters are just amazing.
Rubicon Cries as its sole Hero falls just out of reach by a Raven on borrowed wings -Fires of Raven
Man I'm glad buddy survives the liberator of Rubicon ending.
Terninal armour really comes in clutch when you need it, am i right guys?
"I Should've died that day."
@@NotZealot "But I didn't. I dragged my wounded body and reached the ground zero of Fires of Ibis. There were still people living there. They were the ones to save me."

Best song in the game, favorite mission in the game when fighting alongside him, as the camera pans to the surface of Rubicon and shows the battle. Goosebumps when Rusty said we inspired them to fight. And when he said only one person can keep up with him... he's just THAT guy. Balteus theme and final boss themes as a close second. Rest in peace, Buddy.
"I won't miss"....no you didn't buddy....you never missed.
I am typically not one for songs with lyrics
But damn, rusted pride is one hell of an exception, fly high, buddy
i felt bad when finding out the pursuer in that one sortie was rusty after you ambush the vespers
I always got a goosebumps whenever i listen to this song.
AC6 is one of those games where there are multiple main characters, and you're only one of them.
Fly high... Buddy.
That isn't dumbass things. Thats a banger of a song.
Fur reals...
It….didn’t have to be this way….. 😭. Fly high…..Buddy
I refuse to acknowledge the fires of Raven ending. Fighting alongside Rusty in the liberator ending is the only choice
This track sounds like it could have literally been in For Answer
The best part of the song. I absolutely adore it. Trying not to listen to this song too often to avoid oversaturating with this literal masterpiece
That moment i beat Snail for the last time made feel amazing but

my heart immediately *broke* the moment Rusty suddenly got killed right after, it made the win feel painful and it got worse when they revealed who killed our bro, R.I.P Rusty, he was the realest one o7
When you realize you're the final boss and the bad guy 😞
I won't miss.
All or nothing
I WON’T MISS
WATCH OUT FOR FRIENDLY FIRE
ALL OR NOTHING
this song hits infinitely harder when youre fighting him, that I WONT DIE is one of the most badass things in ac history
The song fit the boss fight perfectly
When you fight Steel Haze Ortus during the Bad Ending I was actually crying.
Still the best song in the game, hands down.. I listened to a 30 minute version of this today while I studied... I got zero studying done and burned 217 calories 😂😂
“Hey buddy”
We may be the best pilot who stole the scene, but man was this Rusty’s Gundam Anime..
The player is the Protagonist, but Rusty... Rusty is the Hero.
Whoever at FromSoft deciding to make Rusty the Hero of the game, and our character the Raven was brilliant. We can either play the hero as well, and fight along side Rusty... Or...
I won't miss
Now we just needed an animated show for AC6… Ravens can dream.
stell haze ortus are just not an AC, that's a fcking Gundam!!!
Designed by a gundam designer!
I really regret having to beat him in a fight, best character ever
Theres more than 1 ending
Fun fact: Ortus, the Upgrade Label of Steel Haze, means "Dawn" and/or "Rise".
The lyrics do not miss.
I know when no one else got me, I still got my buddy
This game was Peak
I WONT STOP, ONLY I CAN FLY HIGH ENOUGH. ILL CHASE THE CLOUDS OVER RUBICON!……….. “You flew just out of reach.. buddy.”
As someone who played Ace Combat Zero, Fires of Raven was the perfect ending
Buddy
Spanish guitar
When I played this mission for the first time, the moment Rusty appeared and the fight began, we both straight up assault boosted past each other at the start of the fight and I had some MAD flashbacks to the final phase with Pixy right there on the spot, holy fuck
There's absolutely no way that the madlads at From weren't inspired by Pixy in creating our boy Rusty, there's just no way man
"Rubicon needs me... so... who needs you "
It's not just Rubicon that still needs you, Rusty, Buddy. 😭
Standing in a cold place
Let me know
My steel core peeling away
All my blood
let me rise
Rusted pride
let me rise
High and dry
I fly high
Watch the sun rise in the dawn
Rust away
Lost to the wind
Watch the sun rise in the dawn
I fly high
I fly high
*Source is the official lyrics book that comes with the physical soundtrack
Yeah official lyrics are still god but the fan Interpretations are still better I feel
bro this stuff made me bawl in armored core
I wont miss.
I tear up everytime I hear his theme.
And I cxm everytime I hear *Buddy*
The average reaction to rusty
I have never played an armored core game in my life I couldn’t even tell you who the main protagonist is. But man do I love rusty, easily one of the most memorable characters, perhaps besides v2 snail but that’s because he’s an afterclap, v4 rusty is just character done right, memorable, likeable, good guy. 👍 he gets my approval for best companion.
Rusty is a ocelot of this game. When we are venom. Ac 6 is a big high five for MGS 5 and whole series+ ace combat.
Still haze is so cool He will always be one of my favorite characters
Literally my only motivation to get the other endings was because I did not want rusty to die
The infinite energy duel with him was so damn cool but I felt so bad for winning
You know, if I had a nickel for every time I've played a Japanese game who's initials are AC, where you're a mute mercenary with a shady friend who calls you "Buddy" and is actually secretly a revolutionary...I'd have two nickels. Not a lot, but hey, weird it's happened twice.
What is the other one?
@@kimashitawa8113 Ace Combat Zero. There's a key character called Pixy who's extremely similar to Rusty
My bad bro. You were the real protagonist all along.
“I won’t miss.”
The lyrics make perfect sense. It's about how despite his human body being broken and his mech body destroued his spirit still can fly, even as both his bodies rust away.
I purposely dumbed down my AC for his fight. Felt I should make it as challenging as possible for such a grand character.
I faced him last night in the burning skies over Rubicon. It really hits hard when he asks what we gave up in order to fight so hard. I think that line is meta in asking whats it worth to light The Fires of Raven. I remember what Walter and Carl said to and did with us. That were carrying on the Mantle but it still feels bitter to face him down atop this marvel of an Ark knowing what will happen. Thats what really makes me believe Fires Of Raven is the bad ending of the lot.
And in a way it makes fighting alongside him In the Liberator of Rubicon all the sweeter after all the senseless carnage and destruction. That its a real unambiguously good fight.
I'm currently starting my 4th playthrough and i think about the endings and characters a lot, just tryijg to piece things together in my own way. But really what I think is that there is no "good" ending, each time i beat it I always had a pang of guilt from all the pilots and characters that either I killed or were killed because of my decisions. I guess the matter of which one is the good ending is subjective. And I will always feel empty when I do them.
I did not enjoy killing Rusty, Carla, Chatty, Walter, Michigan, even Iguazu a little bit (though it was more like putting down an animal). Hopefully some DLC comes out and we can get more.
Pretty sure the third ending is the closest to a good ending. Rusty is still alive from what I know, Carla and Walter's mechs may have been damaged but their cores looked mostly intact, and you found your freedom.
@@starhammer5247allmind abolutely anihilated carla's mech. You see it float during the cutscene.
@@primary_magic1227 I didn't say her mech was in pristine condition. I just said her core seemed intact.
