I swear Iguazu reminds me of Evangel from Last Raven. I wonder. Oh, he also pilots the final boss mech at the end, in one of the endings... Definitely a reincarnation or a distant relative, whomst main protag complex takes the spotlight whenever we see them.
yknow, the thing that makes us special is our ability to “savescum” and restart from a checkpoint. It’s not Iguazu’s fault that everytime he actually does beat raven his timeline collapses and he ceases to exist.
That's dark as fuck if you apply that same logic to every opponent in most games. They are _all_ fully capable of killing the protagonist, it's just that there's literally no universe that exists where they win because that universe lacks what makes it exist in the first place: The player. The observer. Without us looking in on the story, it cannot be told.
Technically speaking a medium weight with 350 speed is enough to clear everything in pve. So dont say that..... well we do can cheat with checkpoint but still you could win without getting killed even once. Dont get too nihilistic, you get good.
@@theguylivinginyourwalls sounds like the set up to a mind bending game where half way through they start acknowledging your save scums and mentioning your past failures to make you seem like a fraud
This is genuinely how I feel about souls games. The bosses beat you and watch you crawl back again and again until finally you know them better than they do.
@@rizamboi2776most people on their very first play through wouldn’t be able to do that. Sure there are some people who might be able to but they aren’t common.
RAVENNNNN! BANAJIIIIIII! A bozo with salt so great, that the _seethe weapon_ they are piloting awkens the possibilities within humanity. Now where have I see that before ;P
One thing I like about Iguazu, he never changes his fighting style until the end. He fights exactly the same way in _every_ encounter, even phase one of Allmind route. Only after kicking Allmind out does he change to frenzied melee swipes at us... and only then is he actually very dangerous. Iguazu literally filters himself on the player by refusing to change how he fights, only becoming dangerous when he does. It's some really brilliant subtle comedy.
I think the way he fights (shooting from behind a shield) was the developer's way of showing how insecure Iguazu is. During the final fight with him in NG++, he develops the confidence to overcome Allmind just to try to beat you. In his newfound confidence, he ditches the shield and starts engaging you in melee. I think this is the developer's way of showing his character growth.
@@Headbringer Now thats a decent Iguazu loadout. I wanted to roleplay as him but his shield blocks his left art machine gun... Do you have a complete list of his loadout?
@@greynium7794It is also closer to how you played in old armor cores. You mainly used long range weapons and try to reduce rather than avoid all damage. However AC6 encourages more aggressive play and his weapon lay out doesn't take advantage of the stagger system since his only real weapon to cash out on staggers is the same one he uses to cause them.
@@haymaker8124Don’t forget the alt version of Depth 2 after we run his pockets in the dam mission. Bro literally hired a hitman to take us out ‘cause he was too pussy to face us again.
As one-sided basically all of our fights with Iguazu are, I can’t help but respect his unrelenting determination at getting that salty run-back. Not many will overpower their AI overlord through sheer willpower, just in the hope they may finally be able to beat their rival
Wait, Iguazu was supposed to be our rival? He went down too easily before I could process that thought. Now Rusty as our rival is something I can get behind.
@@sdbzfan1agree the last boss fight redeemed him in my eyes, he became free of all the voices he had in his head this whole time and fought all out with his own will alone, just to get dunked on
@@sdbzfan1 ayre took me so much longer, when i beat ayre i had been up like 25 hours straight, and since i had gotten off work played ac6, and i was so fucking tired, barely beat her, but i will agree the barrier is a bitch to take out when you put it like that!
I just laughed that this was what allmind considered the logical choice lol. Not Walter or Rusty but this guy. That and me thinking “How many times do I need to kill this guy? How are you not dead?”
So funny story, I barely noticed Iguazu in all three of my playthroughs. I didnt realize he was the same dude in multiple fights, and got confused by his dialog multiple times the worst instance being the final boss. Where when he started screaming ar me i didnt recognize his voice, and was litteraly like who did i piss off this much? Then somehow when Allmind called him a mistake all the fights with him clicked in my head, and i realized, "oh were you suppose to be my rival, or something".
Fun fact; Iguazu means "Big Water" in Guaraní, a latam native original language from Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina. ...and based on his big ego issues and financial problems, he could easily be Argentinian.
Volta was Iguazu's only friend from before they got roped into the redguns and tried to support him. Iguazu ditched him at The Wall and left him to die.
Was I the only one who burst out laughing when I got to the super, secret, special ending and the final boss was that malding red gun dude I’d already folded like 5 times.
It kinda makes sense. Allmind is just a mimic, it steals AC and combat data rather than learn to fight itself. It knew the freelancer was going to have to die as part of its endgame, so why not choose the one pilot who would agree to *anything* including and beyond damnation, just to kill the one person you want dead anyway?
@-kg-2999 iguazu kept attacking 621 tho, wouldn't that make him majima, or would he just be so much of a bitch that he has to ambush majima with an assassin?
One thing I really do like about Iguazu being the final boss is that he’s the antithesis to our character. Our story is that we gain agency, the ability to make decisions, and we grow through the decisions we make - the sacrifices we endure. Iguazu does none of that. He’s never in charge of his own fate - constantly under the thumb of Michigan, unable to beat Raven, unable even to pay someone to do it for him, or to move past his petty frustrations. He’s a slave to someone every step of the way, right up until his being what Allmind sees as the best option to take us on. The perfect, predictable vector for its plans. If we, Raven, become a symbol of freedom, Iguazu is the opposite. A symbol of being enslaved. And so it’s quite fitting and satisfying that when we beat him for a final time, he’s still enslaved. He throws off every shackle, even the control of allmind. As the AI says, ‘nobody can stop him now’. But he still can’t overcome his hatred for Raven. He dies admitting the last and greatest shackle that he could never overcome - his envy for the Raven that he could never clip the wings of.
I don’t agree with the part about Michigan. You can’t help but to like the guy. Which made his mission so agonizingly. Especially when his team starts to shit talk him after he left and he shuts that shit down. I still think Iguazu is a clown but I have small kernel of respect for G5 because of Michigan. There must be something likable about Iguazu if G1 is willing to defend someone so hard. Which includes you as well.
@@ivans3483 I think that’s to an extent fair, but it’s noted multiple times that Iguazu resents Michigan pretty relentlessly. Michigan’s own cool factor doesn’t really redeem Iguazu imo.
@@astratan2238 Iguazu doesn’t like Michigan but I think he still respects him. Michigan is just everything that Iguazu hates. A person that talks down to him and has authority over him.
@@astratan2238 it’s never been said that he hates him as far I can remember. Iguazu just doesn’t like taking shit but begrudgingly accepts it from Michigan because he also walks the talk he gives out. He acknowledges the pecking order that he wants to sit at top of. Something must be right by him to pass the Michigan vibe test cause I know Snail didn’t pass it.
I will say this in defense of Iguazu: His salt, his gamer rage, was so biblical in scale, that he was able to momentarily break free from ALLMIND and disrupt our connection with Ayre. The whole game is about the power of the human individuality, the importance of our power to make a choice, and by god did Iguazu show some balls in his last moments, compared to every other moment where he's just a fuckin clown. If anything, it's specifically BECAUSE he's such a bitch in every other situation that made that moment impressive; he actually had his own time in the spotlight at the very end, thematically showing that even the biggest clown of a human has the potential to showcase individuality that can overpower a powerful soulless AI. It was this exact moment I truly felt that this bizarre NG++ route did indeed fit in with the rest of the game, and I actually... felt respect for him(?). Imo if it were any other character, even Snail (who we all love to hate), that moment would not have been as effective. But yeah every other route, he's the whole circus, rip bozo lmao
>can hear the voices of coral, including ayre >keeps trying no matter how many times hes beaten down >hates to lose >will ambush opponents to cheese out an easier win he's just like us (except hes the loser we're the winner whoop whoop suckit nerd get shoved in a locker)
He's got all our traits but he doesn't achieve his goals and it makes for a horrible downward spiral. Maybe he would have turned out different if he knew how much Michigan really cared for him.
@@kirbyis4ever You find the data log for Operation Wallclimber on G4 Volta's AC wreckage. It's an unfinished video recording of Volta giving Iguazu this exact talk, but he dies mid-sentence and never got to actually send it to Iguazu. To make matters worse, Iguazu was apparently AWOL during this mission so he might even blame himself for his friend dying. Iguazu probably doesn't even know that his friend's last words were him saying that Michigan and the rest of the Redguns are his family.
@@KABLAMMATS Not me. I learned to love hate. Legit. It's good to let people hate. Let people feel. Be themselves. It's the fake "nice" people that try to stop you being yourself. Challenge them. Get in their faces more. Why should anyone suffer in silence? Iguazu barks back. He takes the muzzle off his face and be bites back. He's at least trying if nothing else. Got to admire that spunk.
@@MemeLordCthulhui mean, his last words are "Tell (I can't remember the name) that mean old Michigan died of a bad fall!" and you hear his escorting MT's cry out in anguish. Safe to say that sadly he's dead.
@@TheGreatThicc could've survived, he never stops making jokes, so maybe he's retiring after that and faking his death. Could be possible, or fromsoft knew he'd be a fan favorite
@@MemeLordCthulhunah If fromsoft knew that Michigan is a fan favorite they would've make us cry not out of happiness but out of Depression with His next appearance They have some f*ck up way of doing fan service (except when it's Patches or feet pic)
The same shit happened to me, I had like 15hp left, and I never equip terminal armor, i was absolutely buzzing with adrenaline after and had to take a break lol
The last time you see Iguazu in game was a very large surprise for me. I honestly didn't expect to see him where he was doing what he was doing. But honestly, I wouldn't want anyone else there.
@@Scardpelt He got me twice this whole game. Got a good laugh in WP Alpha part 2 with the assassin. And the final time, I was in awe of just how petty this shit head is.
"Iguazu, you are a mistake" Considering that he was able to overpower her and take control away from her, I would say that she was the mistake, at least in this specific situation, otherwise he suffers from a strong case of skill issue lmao
Truly one of the best characters. Someone who wanted to cast the die but ended up getting gen 4 augmentation. A coward hiding behind a shield and shooting at you with rifles, someone who abandoned the redguns, ambushed you (or sent Coldcall), Iguazu if not fought at the data breach mission descends himself just to fight you because he still doesn't know how strong you are as a pilot. Only at his end he finally had growth as a character, grabbing the reigns himself, making it into a one on one fight, confessing that he was always jealous of you, the literal double lobotomite with an AI girlfriend.
That’s the equivalent of some random kid in COD pissed off that he couldn’t beat you in a 1v1 so they send there older bother to face you only for him to get dunked on too
Michigan is so great :) I'm bummed out that he says his best line in the mission when you kill him :( "There's a balam service medal of honor for whoever bags gun 13. They're nice too, they go real far when you throw them :)."
The twist at the end with iguazu elevating his levels of absolute hater as each ng progresses was a fucking experience that, by the end of the game, shot him up to being y favorite character. Dude was such a top tier hater that he OVERWHELMED THE OVERPOWERED AI WITH HIS FUCKING DATA ALONE. Being a hater of 621 was such a massive part of everything about him that it TAKES CONTROL OF THE AI LIKE GOD DAMN WHAT A FUCKIN HATER I LOVE HIM
@@Dkoarn He’s a well written character with troupes that I enjoy, an interesting story, and is just fun to see on the screen. He can be seen just as a spiteful anime bully, but I think thats really underselling a very well written character. It would be like saying that Guts from Beserk is just an angry want to kill anime guy. I don’t think Iguazu is as good of a character as Gut’s but it would be similar to that.
@@Dkoarn I like to think him putting you down is just in an attempt to make him feel better about his own ineptitude. Also, during which mission does this assassin come after you? I keep on hearing people talk about this but I haven’t seen it yet.
Its his data overpowering the conciousness of all the other ac data put into the machine, remember after alpha gets beat beta shows up and its still Iguazu
Bro's salt literally overpowered a giga powered AI, so I think he he honestly deserved to be in charge of the final fight. Especially since it means we can dunk on him again
@@thecyanpanda241 man said leave me alone, and just straight deleted ayre and allmind from the arena so we could have the one on one proper I have to respect the effort
my opinion of all the Redgun's that have spoken dialogue G1 Michigan: fun uncle G2 Nile: I don't even remember a single line from this guy G3 Wu Huahai: delusions of grandeur about becoming a somebody in Arqubeus just for killing me, you're getting a pile bunker in your ass G4 Volta: meh, kinda an asshole in the dam complex mission, but your log in the next mission we get off you're corpse is kinda sad. g5 iguazu: the fact i didn't capitalise the g or his name should tell you everything you need to know. G6 Red: little man, he must be protected.

@@velocityraptor7188 id love that so much, im pretty confident ac6 will get dlc or expansions of some kind, just based on armored core history and that this has to be the most successful ac game
I feels its now a tradition in the mech series to have a character so salty to the point he would chase you to the ends of the earth and gain all powerful mech just to be killed by the protagonist with a new mech too
I'm gonna be honest. I think the only difference between us and G5 Iguazu... Is that we get to reload every time we fail. He gets the one attempt. Loses. And has to live with the consequences. Of course he's salty asf.
Michigan and Walter are the only two people on Rubicon that genuinely respect you. Michigan sings your praises even as he sends men to kill you. Walter is downright PROUD of you when you kill him. RubiBros before RubiHoes.
Tbh I hope they make his backstory compelling and make it seems that it made sense that he hate you so much, but nope nothing like that and hes just a gambling addict that got in debt and now have to work with redguns
Iguazu's gamer rage accumulated during NG and NG+ was enough to overthrow the supercomputer in NG++. He's not just a jackass, but a *very* determinate jackass.
Fun thing to do: beat Iguazu in completely suboptimal set-ups/conditions just to flex that you did. I've beated him in various stages drunk, on a laptop, and with a mouse that disconnects every five seconds, and using only shitty weaponry. Whether it's hard or not doesn't matter: it shows him that he is so pitiful that you can clock his shit at the biggest disadvantages.
For those who missed it, or didn't care to read Arena bios. Iguazu is also an old gen4 augmented human. The fact you're the protagonist, just makes him the saltiest motherfucker in rubicon they dug a salt mine in Rubicon, and Iguazu was found in there. But yeah, that's the reason he hates you. You're the main character and he's not.
Just finished NG++, I ended up using a 16-missle cheese build because I realized after about 30 minutes of attempts that he didn't deserve a sincere fight. Also I killed him with a boost kick for maximum disrespect. RIP in Skill Issue, Iggy.
to be honest, step in iguazus shoes for a moment, view what happened from his side and you’ll realize why he hates raven so much that he literally overpowered an extremely powerful ai’s code just to have another shot at trying to kill raven himself
Iguazu is tied with Seto Kaiba for the saltiest runback. Iguazu literally submitted to an AI Mommy because he can’t go out with a 0-7 on the scoreboard.
It fits pretty well considering across the timelines you killed him a ton of times across new game resets and he gets his ass kicked in this one at least 2 or 3 times.
Iguazu is that one guy. You know the one. The tag-along you are forced to associate with because your man/girl was friends-- not even the best-- throughout their who school life. And they remained friends with him out of the goodness of their heart, not because they truly liked him. But because they put in soooo much effort to try and get him to see the light that they just CAN'T break it off with them on their own. That's why you're here, though! So, you step in a politely tell him to take his sandy ass back to the playground so he can play in the sand pin again, like a good little boy! But turns out, he was a sleeper simp the whole time! Now, he's attracted to trying to show you up so he can impress his friend-- not his friend anymore, that's his assumption. So, ya man/girl finally gives him the smack down along with you and everyone is happy! Except Iguazu, but hey. At least he found cyber sex. :)
i love the mission where iguazu shows up to try and mess you up after you destroy the hacking beacons or whatever because i destroy the snipers and find a nice spot to sit while he loses in a two vs one match against the two stealth whip ACs, occasionally taking pot shots to piss him off before finally putting them all down

621 is Iguazu's own personal Goro Majima, always showing up to make his life miserable.
"IGUAZU-CHAN!"
At least Kiryu could endure the annoyance, meanwhile Iguazu cried just because “noooooo freelancer is more famous than me! 😭😭”
@-kg-2999 iguazu kept attacking 621 tho, wouldn't that make him majima, or would he just be so much of a bitch that he has to ambush majima with an assassin?
One thing I really do like about Iguazu being the final boss is that he’s the antithesis to our character.
Our story is that we gain agency, the ability to make decisions, and we grow through the decisions we make - the sacrifices we endure. Iguazu does none of that. He’s never in charge of his own fate - constantly under the thumb of Michigan, unable to beat Raven, unable even to pay someone to do it for him, or to move past his petty frustrations. He’s a slave to someone every step of the way, right up until his being what Allmind sees as the best option to take us on. The perfect, predictable vector for its plans.
If we, Raven, become a symbol of freedom, Iguazu is the opposite. A symbol of being enslaved.
And so it’s quite fitting and satisfying that when we beat him for a final time, he’s still enslaved. He throws off every shackle, even the control of allmind. As the AI says, ‘nobody can stop him now’. But he still can’t overcome his hatred for Raven. He dies admitting the last and greatest shackle that he could never overcome - his envy for the Raven that he could never clip the wings of.
This. This right here is what I like.
I don’t agree with the part about Michigan. You can’t help but to like the guy. Which made his mission so agonizingly. Especially when his team starts to shit talk him after he left and he shuts that shit down. I still think Iguazu is a clown but I have small kernel of respect for G5 because of Michigan. There must be something likable about Iguazu if G1 is willing to defend someone so hard. Which includes you as well.
@@ivans3483 I think that’s to an extent fair, but it’s noted multiple times that Iguazu resents Michigan pretty relentlessly. Michigan’s own cool factor doesn’t really redeem Iguazu imo.
@@astratan2238 Iguazu doesn’t like Michigan but I think he still respects him. Michigan is just everything that Iguazu hates. A person that talks down to him and has authority over him.
@@astratan2238 it’s never been said that he hates him as far I can remember. Iguazu just doesn’t like taking shit but begrudgingly accepts it from Michigan because he also walks the talk he gives out. He acknowledges the pecking order that he wants to sit at top of.
Something must be right by him to pass the Michigan vibe test cause I know Snail didn’t pass it.
I will say this in defense of Iguazu:
His salt, his gamer rage, was so biblical in scale, that he was able to momentarily break free from ALLMIND and disrupt our connection with Ayre.
The whole game is about the power of the human individuality, the importance of our power to make a choice, and by god did Iguazu show some balls in his last moments, compared to every other moment where he's just a fuckin clown.
If anything, it's specifically BECAUSE he's such a bitch in every other situation that made that moment impressive; he actually had his own time in the spotlight at the very end, thematically showing that even the biggest clown of a human has the potential to showcase individuality that can overpower a powerful soulless AI. It was this exact moment I truly felt that this bizarre NG++ route did indeed fit in with the rest of the game, and I actually... felt respect for him(?). Imo if it were any other character, even Snail (who we all love to hate), that moment would not have been as effective.
But yeah every other route, he's the whole circus, rip bozo lmao
It's morally legal to dunk on iguana
It's a citizenship requirement
@@jds0798 its on the test
Hold on, putting this in my study guide.
Grudges and resentment? You ARE Iguana at that point.
His name is iguabu
>can hear the voices of coral, including ayre
>keeps trying no matter how many times hes beaten down
>hates to lose
>will ambush opponents to cheese out an easier win
he's just like us (except hes the loser we're the winner whoop whoop suckit nerd get shoved in a locker)
He's got all our traits but he doesn't achieve his goals and it makes for a horrible downward spiral. Maybe he would have turned out different if he knew how much Michigan really cared for him.
@@kirbyis4ever He really just needed a hug throughout the entire game.
So true
@@kirbyis4ever
You find the data log for Operation Wallclimber on G4 Volta's AC wreckage. It's an unfinished video recording of Volta giving Iguazu this exact talk, but he dies mid-sentence and never got to actually send it to Iguazu. To make matters worse, Iguazu was apparently AWOL during this mission so he might even blame himself for his friend dying. Iguazu probably doesn't even know that his friend's last words were him saying that Michigan and the rest of the Redguns are his family.
@@kirbyis4everSadly he probably never got Volta's last communication trying to tell him that Michigan did in fact care
So nice of FromSoft to give us our very own obsessed hater.
Nah man Iguazu is actually us, because we are so salty about anything
@@KABLAMMATSthere's not much difference in salt between iguazu fighting 621 and the average player fighting balteus
@@aghitsaplane4262At least us players don't get called a mistake by the lady in our head.
@@aghitsaplane4262so what your saying is, iguazu is the embodiment of all the people that got filtered. Makes clowning him all the more satisfying.
@@KABLAMMATS Not me. I learned to love hate. Legit. It's good to let people hate. Let people feel. Be themselves. It's the fake "nice" people that try to stop you being yourself. Challenge them. Get in their faces more. Why should anyone suffer in silence?
Iguazu barks back. He takes the muzzle off his face and be bites back. He's at least trying if nothing else. Got to admire that spunk.
Iguazu’s like a player who keeps returning to a boss they’re stuck on
I beat Iguazu with Mad Stomp. It took me 30 seconds to beat Iguazu. Rummy does not deserve to be dead last in the arena.
Yea, YOU won with Madstomp. Just shows how shit Rummy is lol
Iguazu and Rusty are awesome long-term characters. Honestly love the scripts and VA, can’t wait for a sequel
Same!!
I just hope michigan survived. I know we technically killed him, but unless he screamed, or made a sound of pain at the end of it, he's still alive.
@@MemeLordCthulhui mean, his last words are "Tell (I can't remember the name) that mean old Michigan died of a bad fall!" and you hear his escorting MT's cry out in anguish.
Safe to say that sadly he's dead.
@@TheGreatThicc could've survived, he never stops making jokes, so maybe he's retiring after that and faking his death. Could be possible, or fromsoft knew he'd be a fan favorite
@@MemeLordCthulhunah If fromsoft knew that Michigan is a fan favorite they would've make us cry not out of happiness but out of Depression with His next appearance
They have some f*ck up way of doing fan service (except when it's Patches or feet pic)
Iguazu's so petty he literally assimilates into an AI super intelligence, takes it over, and still fails
Fromsoft narrative staff were laughing their asses off when they decided he should be the final boss
Not the AC, but the pilot is cheeks.
Beating the final fight with 1hp, legendary freelancer
I know dude, and that fight was so good
The same shit happened to me, I had like 15hp left, and I never equip terminal armor, i was absolutely buzzing with adrenaline after and had to take a break lol
I did it with 50% ap left. Thoughts that's because I used my God mech that had stun launchers and miniguns in my wheelchair.
Dunking on Iguazu is not optional. It is mandatory, and so is the joy I feel when doing it.
Agreed
Agreed iguazu dunking is mandatory to the mission.
I know what it means to be nothing.
Michigan has a better understanding. It really depends on how you degrade someone.
Remember that the only thing that is more potent than Iguazus salt is 621's sheer swagger.
Frankly, Iguazu lasted longer than Walter in a fight.
The last time you see Iguazu in game was a very large surprise for me. I honestly didn't expect to see him where he was doing what he was doing. But honestly, I wouldn't want anyone else there.
It was easier to stomach than fighting walter or rusty, it just felt correct
Iguaza lets do this song and dance one last time
Soon as it happened “REALLY? THIS CRYBABY IGUAZU??”
@@Scardpelt He got me twice this whole game. Got a good laugh in WP Alpha part 2 with the assassin. And the final time, I was in awe of just how petty this shit head is.
Same
@@sdbzfan1 I would have preferred Rusty doing what Iguazu did honestly, Rusty overcoming the AI is a lot more beliveable than Iguazu doing it.
"Iguazu, you are a mistake"
Considering that he was able to overpower her and take control away from her, I would say that she was the mistake, at least in this specific situation, otherwise he suffers from a strong case of skill issue lmao
Truly one of the best characters. Someone who wanted to cast the die but ended up getting gen 4 augmentation. A coward hiding behind a shield and shooting at you with rifles, someone who abandoned the redguns, ambushed you (or sent Coldcall), Iguazu if not fought at the data breach mission descends himself just to fight you because he still doesn't know how strong you are as a pilot. Only at his end he finally had growth as a character, grabbing the reigns himself, making it into a one on one fight, confessing that he was always jealous of you, the literal double lobotomite with an AI girlfriend.
The best part about the NG++ ending is that you get to body him twice in one mission
"Dunk on Iguazu" is exactly how I translated that mission offer. The coldcall fight made me feel so warm and fuzzy inside.
That’s the equivalent of some random kid in COD pissed off that he couldn’t beat you in a 1v1 so they send there older bother to face you only for him to get dunked on too
The final boss is literally some random guy mad at the main character and probably sh1tposts online.
Nice.
Michigan is so great :)
I'm bummed out that he says his best line in the mission when you kill him :(
"There's a balam service medal of honor for whoever bags gun 13. They're nice too, they go real far when you throw them :)."
Iguazu:"Down here on Rubicon, salt is a way of life"
It made punching his lights out all the more enjoyable tho
The twist at the end with iguazu elevating his levels of absolute hater as each ng progresses was a fucking experience that, by the end of the game, shot him up to being y favorite character. Dude was such a top tier hater that he OVERWHELMED THE OVERPOWERED AI WITH HIS FUCKING DATA ALONE. Being a hater of 621 was such a massive part of everything about him that it TAKES CONTROL OF THE AI LIKE GOD DAMN WHAT A FUCKIN HATER I LOVE HIM
As one of the very few Iguazu fans, I fully support this video.
He’s the best frenemy you could ever have
@@christopherramirez3003 truly
@@Dkoarn He’s a well written character with troupes that I enjoy, an interesting story, and is just fun to see on the screen. He can be seen just as a spiteful anime bully, but I think thats really underselling a very well written character. It would be like saying that Guts from Beserk is just an angry want to kill anime guy. I don’t think Iguazu is as good of a character as Gut’s but it would be similar to that.
@@Dkoarn I like to think him putting you down is just in an attempt to make him feel better about his own ineptitude. Also, during which mission does this assassin come after you? I keep on hearing people talk about this but I haven’t seen it yet.
When you explore the depths. Don't remember if it was depth 1 or 2, but it's before the big one .
Same reaction to the NG++ final boss reveal, basically said to myself "Why the fuck is it him!? Was this really the best you could get, ALLMIND?"
Its his data overpowering the conciousness of all the other ac data put into the machine, remember after alpha gets beat beta shows up and its still Iguazu
@@sdbzfan1He's so edgy and angry that he kills the final boss with his mind and becomes the final boss just for us to dunk him.
I loved it. I got to end the game doing what I loved most:
Dunking on Iguazu
Bro's salt literally overpowered a giga powered AI, so I think he he honestly deserved to be in charge of the final fight. Especially since it means we can dunk on him again
@@thecyanpanda241 man said leave me alone, and just straight deleted ayre and allmind from the arena so we could have the one on one proper
I have to respect the effort
my opinion of all the Redgun's that have spoken dialogue
G1 Michigan: fun uncle
G2 Nile: I don't even remember a single line from this guy
G3 Wu Huahai: delusions of grandeur about becoming a somebody in Arqubeus just for killing me, you're getting a pile bunker in your ass
G4 Volta: meh, kinda an asshole in the dam complex mission, but your log in the next mission we get off you're corpse is kinda sad.
g5 iguazu: the fact i didn't capitalise the g or his name should tell you everything you need to know.
G6 Red: little man, he must be protected.
Poor G6
bro the “ya got lucky at th-“ followed by the pile bunker uppercut was peak comedy
bullying Iguazu until he literally snaps will always hold a place in my heart
Did you know, if you kill Iguazu before Volta, Michigan chews him out some more and Volta straight up calls Iguazu a dumbass.
this guy is literally just like "spot" from across the spiderverse.
Nobody takes him seriously, and hes the true final boss.
Someone tell FromSoftware that we need more G1 Michigan and squad chatter.
Episode Michigan DLC
New ending path. New Game +++ Balam vs PCA. Then PCA path New Game ++++ then maybe RLF path. 3 all new endings with all new mech parts, final missions, AC fights, and final bosses.@@LSunflowers
@@velocityraptor7188 id love that so much, im pretty confident ac6 will get dlc or expansions of some kind, just based on armored core history and that this has to be the most successful ac game
@@velocityraptor7188
Vesper path with 621 being V.I would be perfect too bruh, this was implied by Walter and Snail's convo.
It's the best part of the entire game IMO. it shows how Michigan will not treat you like nothing and will always encourage you to do better.
I like the detail that iguazu is the same gen as us ingame is therefore reasonably salty that were doing such incredible stuff.
Seeing Iguazu as the final boss felt like getting the opportunity to do a slam dunk right as the clock hits zero.
Fighting Iguazu is like kicking an aggressive puppy whose been wronged it’s whole life. You’re just reinforcing their prejudice.
I feels its now a tradition in the mech series to have a character so salty to the point he would chase you to the ends of the earth and gain all powerful mech just to be killed by the protagonist with a new mech too
I'm gonna be honest. I think the only difference between us and G5 Iguazu...
Is that we get to reload every time we fail.
He gets the one attempt. Loses. And has to live with the consequences.
Of course he's salty asf.
Michigan and Walter are the only two people on Rubicon that genuinely respect you.
Michigan sings your praises even as he sends men to kill you.
Walter is downright PROUD of you when you kill him.
RubiBros before RubiHoes.
Rusty respects you in a way...

Remember kids, don’t be like Iguazu, be like Rusty.
Tbh I hope they make his backstory compelling and make it seems that it made sense that he hate you so much, but nope nothing like that and hes just a gambling addict that got in debt and now have to work with redguns
Uploading his consciousness to an AI gestalt hive mind just so he can be a hater for just a little longer - I love this guy
Iguazu's gamer rage accumulated during NG and NG+ was enough to overthrow the supercomputer in NG++. He's not just a jackass, but a *very* determinate jackass.
Iguazu really imbodies that hater energy, Literally sold his soul to Ai just to kill you.
No matter how good you get at this game you'll never be able to roast Iguazu, or anyone else for the matter, like G1 Michigan does.
Facts
Fun thing to do: beat Iguazu in completely suboptimal set-ups/conditions just to flex that you did.
I've beated him in various stages drunk, on a laptop, and with a mouse that disconnects every five seconds, and using only shitty weaponry. Whether it's hard or not doesn't matter: it shows him that he is so pitiful that you can clock his shit at the biggest disadvantages.
For those who missed it, or didn't care to read Arena bios. Iguazu is also an old gen4 augmented human. The fact you're the protagonist, just makes him the saltiest motherfucker in rubicon they dug a salt mine in Rubicon, and Iguazu was found in there. But yeah, that's the reason he hates you. You're the main character and he's not.
You really gotta respect how dedicated of a Hater Iguazu is
I wish 621 could talk back to people in text-to-speech and have it sound like John Ultrakill
i will never get tired of Michigen telling iguazu to stfu and just do his damn job lol.
Playing armored core with a headache for the true iguazu experience
Hell yeah
Raven: exists
Iguana: You took everything from me!!
Ngl, for jumping you with the 4 minions in the end, Iguazu deserves every second.
Iguazu's magnitude of salt makes Carthage look like a gardening accident.
Just finished NG++, I ended up using a 16-missle cheese build because I realized after about 30 minutes of attempts that he didn't deserve a sincere fight.
Also I killed him with a boost kick for maximum disrespect. RIP in Skill Issue, Iggy.
Iguazu's envy made us who we are. Diagnostics report that he had terminal skill issue.
to be honest, step in iguazus shoes for a moment, view what happened from his side and you’ll realize why he hates raven so much that he literally overpowered an extremely powerful ai’s code just to have another shot at trying to kill raven himself
Iguazu, the man who just couldn't get "skill issue."
Iguazu is tied with Seto Kaiba for the saltiest runback.
Iguazu literally submitted to an AI Mommy because he can’t go out with a 0-7 on the scoreboard.
G5 is the one that we have problem, G4 is just unfortunate to be there
They were good friends. Probably the only person Iguazu didn’t hate.
"G5, how many ranks below you is G13? Dont spend too much time counting cuz its a lot!"
I kind of like the unexpected twist that such a person that so hateful and jealous would be the final boss.
It fits pretty well considering across the timelines you killed him a ton of times across new game resets and he gets his ass kicked in this one at least 2 or 3 times.
@@kirbyis4ever four times before the final encounter
Iguazu: "YOU TOOK EVERYTHING FROM MEEE!"
621:
Iguazu: jumps into the battle of snail and raven
Snail: Nails iguazu with the nail cannon
You should have added where Iguana said that he'll just watch the squad die to the Ice Worm but Michigan ended up putting him on the frontline.
Iguazu is that one guy. You know the one. The tag-along you are forced to associate with because your man/girl was friends-- not even the best-- throughout their who school life. And they remained friends with him out of the goodness of their heart, not because they truly liked him. But because they put in soooo much effort to try and get him to see the light that they just CAN'T break it off with them on their own.
That's why you're here, though! So, you step in a politely tell him to take his sandy ass back to the playground so he can play in the sand pin again, like a good little boy!
But turns out, he was a sleeper simp the whole time! Now, he's attracted to trying to show you up so he can impress his friend-- not his friend anymore, that's his assumption.
So, ya man/girl finally gives him the smack down along with you and everyone is happy!
Except Iguazu, but hey. At least he found cyber sex. :)
i love the mission where iguazu shows up to try and mess you up after you destroy the hacking beacons or whatever because i destroy the snipers and find a nice spot to sit while he loses in a two vs one match against the two stealth whip ACs, occasionally taking pot shots to piss him off before finally putting them all down
This is a work of art. I'd display it in a museum if I could
Iguazu is Graham Acker / Mr Bushido from Gundam 00, but more edgy and whose tragedy is somewhat mixied with comedic tones due how many times he dies.
This man been drinking the hateraid since day one.
