graygoo actually had a better opener here, and was well positioned to take a good fight on day 12 but got way too crazy with the attack. just killing the shoal recon with a tank on the city and then killing the overextended tank with a copter + tank while leaving the remaining units out of reach for a counterattack would have set up for a much better engagement on day 13.
I was impressed by how quickly rip pivoted to the other side of the map after his opponent built a battleship. He basically destroyed 28000 funds by leaving the battleship's range
Thanks for making this video, I used to play AWBW back in like 2005 and had no idea it was still around. It's so cool to see these matches and how good players are now.
Loving the AW content lately. I got cancer, so I went full bald today and now I'm looking like you Mangs lol. Your videos are very relaxing and help me sleep. Hope to see more soon (but don't push yourself too hard either!)
cruisers were buffed in days of ruin but so were all naval units... battleships can fire after moving in that game!! dual strike cruisers would be fine. iirc they took a lot less from copters so they were a much better counter overall and also i think they could hit some other naval units for minor damage.
the only buff cruisers got in dual strike was the ability to use missiles on all ships not just subs meaning they were effectively the tank with recon damage vs other ships (2-3 damage of cruiser about the same for landers maybe more) with a overpriced cost cruisers being days of ruin cruisers would be cool it would make them the anti air of the sea given how difficult carriers are to buy in a normal game to deter air units and they take okay damage vs bombers making them a lot more flexible. great video mangas and as always with high funds and in most games when there is a huge investment of indirects its always best to divert to a different front to cause problems and rip saw it very nicely
Naval combat is really underrated, because it is so expensive and weak. I want to see stronger ships overall and like the movement in Days od Ruin, so that ships can pass through bridges. If all ships have more armor, than you really need some firepower to take them down.

Here's a question, how tactically sound would it be in a sasha mirror match to not use market crash and just save for the super when it is time for an initiating push or a retaliatory one, because then you can grab some cash and also get the 10/10? My guess is situational at best?
Sasha's super power is absolutely terrible. You never want to pop it. 50% damage converted into funds is not as good as people think. If you remember that most supers are meant for swinging the game in your favor. Even a solid Sasha Super seldom nets you more than 20k to 30k funds and that is if you have a really good turn. Now compare that with something like Hawke's Black Storm which can repair for that amount and remove 20% of the opponents value. As Sasha, you want to spam Market Crash to keep your 10/10 and deny your opponent their 10/10.
@@Mangs1337 Agreed. On top of that, the likelihood of even getting the super in the mirror is close to nil. Sasha's power bar in this matchup is completely in use-it-or-lose-it territory.
Truly, why was Sasha's powers set up as they are? It honestly seems like it should be the reverse half the time, where market crash should have been the Scop.
AWDS cruisers are great, they have a lot higher defense and can take a few hits from copters. They can also do some damage to other naval units (like 15%), but i don't think it's a good addition.
1. Looking at the capture phase, would an early lab/hq rush be viable? 2. I kept hearing Ragu instead of GrayGoo. 3. That 8-bit version of Life Will Change slapped.
From watching his replay i think he always open transport when there are alot of city with 4 tile range. Infantry move is 4 with boosting. So i believe rip_ doesn't think it's worth it to build transport in map with >4 tile between each city. Also rip_ build a lot of recon, compared to his opponent. Like he always have 3 or 4 recon compared to his enemy 1 or 2.

Great to read some commentary from a top-tier player

No Mike we can't, they're too imbalanced.

That must mean the match was full of intense strategic mind games and thrilling moments! xD
Noticed that too but dos anyone know what the second BG music is from?

Nani?
@@johnkastello5483 Its an 8-bit cover of Bloody Stream. its a fantastic song
Bloody steam! Great bg music
Heck yeah! xD
Maybe the video description hasn’t been updated yet, as it is still showing “Mega Man 2 - Wily 1/2 Remix (MMC5 8-bit).” 🤔

Put the battleships away, Waltuh.
How are Cruisers supposed to be antiairs

Maybe it's just me but DoR battleships feel so OP
Ayyyyy! New MANGS JUST DROPPED!
Cool selection of music! Arrangements of Stickerbrush Symphony, Mega Man and Night Running (from BNA)!
Did not expect 8-bit Bloody Stream to start but I'm all here for it
B Copter v Neotank may not be viable...but it is cost effective. 1800 value vs 4400 value (assuming a 2HP trade).
Nice to hear some Bran remixes in the background :)
What a good game and the music was fire in this video!
Is that Stickerbrush Symphony I hear at the start?

Lmao hearing Bloody Stream first thing is amazing
The turn you pop your SCOP is usually so fun. One reason I never liked Duel Strike was Sasha essentially says "no fun."
Yooo, is that some BRANFLAKES background music???? What a legend.
Naval combat is really underrated, because it is so expensive and weak.
I want to see stronger ships overall and like the movement in Days od Ruin, so that ships can pass through bridges. If all ships have more armor, than you really need some firepower to take them down.
Battling with custom Naval COs and units is much more fun because of that.
Saying it is underrated because it is expensive and weak is contradictory. It is accurately rated low, therefore, not underrated.
Good to see AW players are no longer second rate citizens in this channel.
16 out of the last 20 actual videos are Advance Wars related, it really aint that bad lmao

Love the persona music.

Oh.
Would be so nice to have missiles and cruisers buffed :(
More variety is nice
13:54 Night Running from BNA. What music playlist is this?
I’m recognizing so many songs, like “life will change”
Oh Gray Goo. That game was pretty cool, too bad it never really took off.
8 bit JOJO fuck yeah
Yare yare daze
I swear we are witnessing a hero journey with rip, only thing I Wonder is: when is the Netflix adaptation ?
The Netflix adaptation is usually bad so I hope not
@@Mangs1337Don't worry, they'll get the Rock to play him

Gotta watch that new blangs vid
Early Egg, Bloody Stream!
I will watch every rip you put out, and possibly twice
The 8 bit JJBA opening. Super fitting for a rip_ game.
Where are you guys playing AW dual strike and AW Days of Ruin?
I also chose Sasha here and had to fight an Eagle. But yeah week 3 waiting for the Half Finalist....
1. Looking at the capture phase, would an early lab/hq rush be viable?
2. I kept hearing Ragu instead of GrayGoo.
3. That 8-bit version of Life Will Change slapped.
Solid game, looking forward to the next match.
Gray goo's apc usage was pretty mid this game. They focused too much on boosting instead of using the full movement of the apc to carry units forward.
Egg man!
From watching his replay i think he always open transport when there are alot of city with 4 tile range.
Infantry move is 4 with boosting. So i believe rip_ doesn't think it's worth it to build transport in map with >4 tile between each city.
Also rip_ build a lot of recon, compared to his opponent.
Like he always have 3 or 4 recon compared to his enemy 1 or 2.
T-posing Sasha available?
sweet

Huh. Its a Sasha mirror match. I dislike mirror matches since it negates your different advantages with CO's.

Is that a Jojo reference?!!!
Cool game but FE Engage is still a shit game.
and i'll never forgive you for promoting that trash.
