Dash cancelling in this game with a lightweight build feels like an in-between of tf2 soldiers rocket jumping and tekken mishimas wave-dashing. When you show it in a PvP match its a statement that you will not be denied a melee engagement.
Thanks, the mental image of juggling corpo's with Perfect Coral Wind God Fist will stay with me for a while.. P.S. Laughing Man is such a great antagonist, I played around in the image editor at one point thinking about drawing inspiration form the logo you're rocking; ultimately I opted to draw inspiration form ALLMIND whilst designing my decals, thinking about it I do prefer Oshii's film over SAC but the genius of Laughing Man is undeniable; the stand alone complex, which I interpret akin to the personification of Carl(a) Jung's synchronicity, is a very fitting theme to AC.
The problem isn't disconnecting players. It's Fromsoft not realizing that this would be rampant in an online competitive mode and punishing disconnect abusers when it's the year 2023.
Lost my rank-up because of this. I technically won 8 qualifying matches, but due to d/c's I then lost additional and didn't rank-up. Worst is, if you d/c you lose a qualifying match still.
melee builds are crazy fun fr. I've been running a laser lance/chainsaw build with the split missiles and a zimmerman (for an empakaai cosplay) and it's a blast to hit
Just out of curiosity, what’s your build including generator? I’ve been having a hard time with running the laser lance and another melee with EN depletion, but I am terrible at this game lol, at least in PVP. Happy new year
All Mind's Claw thing would have been nice. Although, i cant even figure out how to use the ones we already have lol. The Wuerger is probably the one im least bad at tbh.
Hey, Souper here, I was running the AC "Is this fun?" missile boat Lammergeier AC from the stream yesterday. Ngl, watching you zoom straight at me with melee canceling fast enough to outrun my assault boost was kind of horrifying. But well played, I hope to run into you again.
This is really impressive. I'm having a lot of fun in ranked PvP, so I'm interested in studying the skills and techs on display haha. I'm also a fan of lightweight melee builds due to how fun they are. Although I've settled into what is called a VBO build. While I didn't look up the build per se, the two obvious parts of it, Viento and Basho are so self evidently powerful that it's no rocket science to come up with. On that note, what does everyone think of conforming to meta? I wish I had the skills Mood has and was able to pull off a build like what he's using, but it does feel like a LW pure melee build has a higher skill ceiling to win, versus something like just throwing missiles on a Lamm quad and ABing away lol. On a similar note, is the Pulse Blade the best weapon for canceling? I prefer the Laser Dagger, but it does seem like the Pulse Blade is better on most metrics. The less versatile charged attack of the LD combined with the weaker hits is a pretty big drawback, and it's most amazing feature, the near instant CD, feels less relevant in PvP where it's all about that one opening. ATM the big reason for me to use the LD is that I like to combo it with Assault Armor, and the Pulse Blade's second hit pushes back staggered enemies, making an AA confirm harder. I'm also relying on QBs instead of Melee Cancels to get into range. Should I just change to a more standard VBO build? Or pursue the art of melee? I really love the concept of linear rails, and the idea of a linear rifle confirm instead of using the meta Vientos is appealing even though I know it would be significantly harder.
You are superior to anyone who meat slaves to win. Their hollow victories mean nothing, they built their way to a win, while you actually tried your hardest and played a skill expressive build to achieve the same thing. A win you get and a win they get is NOT comparable.
@CodenameMood I feel your sentiment haha. I mostly agree. For me I'd have no quams of using a meta build if it's a build I fine fun and/or take pride in using. If I'm looking up and playing an unfun build just for racking up wins, I'd be losing the point of the game. I'm less judgmental if it's a tournament with prizes on the line though.
Depends on what you want out of the game. Conforming to meta really just means you know how to play the game and if you want to win you gotta play the game. Only the most brain rot infected will think they are superior for playing a worse build on purpose.
Armored Core's crown jewel is how obsessively fleshed out the customization system is. Every single component in the game has a strength and justification to be used in, and a weakness. So many different combinations of builds can be made which really should be sparking everyone's creativity. That being said, the most fun and intense matches I've played are those which I can tell the other player made a build that they really invested some time and passion into. It's so much more fun than playing against the cliche double-zimm, double-songbird, double-stun pistols, etc. I'd rather play against someone who loves the build they made as much as I love mine, rather than someone who is following the easiest crumbtrail to ranked wins.
I've done it! With your help I've finally made a build that works I can call mine,so much so I seen ppl in the lobby copy me build,I probably can't do what you do,but I love what I done,I think just added to the meta
Not me watching you sword dash to people cross map as if you’ve soon me electricity for the first time 🤣 mad respect for your patience with this game’s online dude ❤️🙏🏾
Laser dagger on my melee build has gotten me obsurd hate mail. I stagger into laser dagger, assault armor their pulse armor after 2 swipes so they are restaggered, just to get another full 3 hits of dagger cause of the fast cooldownXD
dumb question but, do you have any tips for switching to the pile bunker? After i do the pulse blade -> harris combo, i can't switch to the pilebunker fast enough, the ennemi ac dashes out at last second. Is this just a skill issue or is there something i am missing?
I have a very similar build but swapping the pulse blade for the coral version. I also use different body parts. Not tried the ranked hopefully I do well like you have.
They might say that you're not the best melee player, but you surely are among the good ones. Respect for going melee with a solid light-weight build 👍
hey dude, can i ask for a short answer on how you get the pile bunker to close in before the attack goes off with such consistency? i feel like i either under or over travel 90% of my attempts lol. that comeback in the first clip was soooo satisfying! great plays dude.
you switch to pile before you shot the charged harris, then you dash straight while charging pile. practice really mattered here, even i whiffs a lot with pile in real fight
Melee Cancels are the reason I play melee more than the weapons themselves. With some good EN pool, good QB efficiency core and good melee EN + Speed boosters you become so fast.
Ive tried this set up recently. A lot of fun but it has definitely made me realize that perhaps i have been relying a little too much on dual Vientos. So in a way, im glad im getting demoted, as i feel my rank was un deserved. Though i gotta ask, cause its hard to tell in the video, are you using Alula or Kikaku boosters?
so what's the drama. I don't keep up with AC6 much anymore, but I remember Mood from ArmoredCast when I was into the PvP, and between this video and his last one, something clearly went down.
Theres a new ranked mode in pvp. Where people exclusively use missle boats, tell you to get good when you lose, and leave mid match when you're gonna win.
Striker is too much of a coward to directly talk to me about things he doesn't like, he just silently distanced himself, and talked behind my back, devaluing all I do and achieve, pretending I don't exist. That's pretty much.
Sounds like just the usual "competitive" multiplayer community exploit meta bs, everyone trying to find some bug or balance issue they can cheese the hell out of, then accusing the other side of being the ones cheesing. AC6 has more cheesable content being a FS game though so maybe it's more prominent because of that? idk as aside from mmos I don't really get social with people I play with anymore
I've noticed a lot of quadlegs in ranked, it's rather disheartening going up against one as all they do is shoot missiles and hover. It's to the point were it doesn't feel worth trying to fight them cause almost immediately they're hovering at the very top of the map and firing missiles. Any ideas on what's the best way to counter them?
I’ve been trying the linear rifles lately. Their shots force a response out of hovering quad legs, shortening their airtime. The slow homing missiles are ideal for anti-air, as well. I have also seen one mad lad take a jamming grenade and plasma rifle and manual aiming. That’s a build that requires a lot of brainpower, but it seems really cool.
You can combine directional keys/movements depending on your input system. Instead of going forward with your QB, hold to the side and QB so instead of going under them, you climb to them from the side.
Are you playing exclusively without the hardlock? Are there any cons and pros for not using a hard lock for the play style or is your play style depending on the softlock use?
Man. Some of the people in these comments are crazy. Anyway, I’ve decided to run double meele, like you. But I do understand my ability to replicate such a playstyle is limited- so I went with a coral blade and pulse blade playstyle. Thanks for the inspiration.
Oh. FUCK. YES. Absolutely wrecking the kite builds. Thats what I'm talking about. Are you starting the blade charge at the start of your boost to get that slide?
Can you do melee cancel like that on xbox? I usually run medium weight builds with a melee and my cancels don’t look as flashy as that 😂 is it a controller diff or build diff?
I'm currently trying out ur build. But I have trouble landing the pilebunker punish after stagger. When I dash forward to execute, the enemy either has already recovered or I have T-rex arms and screwed the air. Sadge
If you want to bunk easier in the air, use a zimmerman instead, makes it easier to reposition. Otherwise, try to keep your height the same as the enemy AC's and after you land the shot, quickboost into pilebunker charge instantly, should land unless they are too far away.
Dude that was wild! But i find light-melee-speed build to be such a risky combination against heavily armed players or use as a support player when in a team, any advice with this build you used? 🤔
So I watched your livestream a little last night, and you’re doing a great job keeping your skills sharp. Some builds are just lame and easy and those players will be in a world of hurt when the new games inevitably re balance mechanics.
For real? No, I saw you get into the promo for S but… alas, Tanks and all the cheese. I went to bed before the stream was over. Hope you made it to S… regardless I don’t think the ranks matter much at this point high A vs S isn’t much different.
holy shit! i think i fought you in d rank yesterday or something, or maybe just a dude using the same build. I was running dual rifles with 3 cell plasma missiles and 6 cell dual missiles
I lost to this exact build earlier this morning lol. I was running a Zimmerkick LW called KN1GHTMARE with a pulse blade and shield. Idk if it was you, but I got reverse 2-1 swept by the better melee player!
Can you do a demonstration of how tackle tank builds with melee taking down Volta from the attack the dam complex mission where you have to take both Iguazu and Volta? Iguazu is normally a push over with melee... but Volta is an absolute nightmare on approach
@@CodenameMood I'm using a lightweight dual melee build (Laser lance + Pile Bunker) with a Majestic on my right arm and BML-G2 P03MLT-06 on my right shoulder. Iguazu is easy, catch him with a charged Laser Lance, Majestic for the Stagger and then eliminate with a Charged Pile Bunker. Problem's come in for the approach to Volta, he does a great job of shooting point blank into my face on the approach with my melee either with the Zimmy, Gou Chen, Birds, and then continuously chips with his split missiles. It's very difficult with my set up to get a good stagger set up to hammer on him with the Laser Lance to combo into the Charged Pile Bunker. maybe at least 7/8 approaches on the melee swing, I'll get stomped by Gou Chen, Zimmy, or the birds. Reason why I was hoping you would be able to do a video on what strategies to implement on a heavy tank build using a light weight AC.
@@Ghorda9 Plasma thrower with a Nachtreiher core and leg build seems like it would be a bad combination, especially against Cannon Head thanks to the stance stop, even with quick boosting out of it... I've beat the mission already. Had to swap out the 6 missile launcher for a 10 missile launcher and just harassed him to death from a far... but it would be awesome to see what strategies Mood uses against a similar build that would wreck a light weight in PvP
@@maniacallyhappy it's how i beat him, i used duel duckets with plasma thrower, all you need to do is stun him and immediately use a single strike from the plasma thrower. The key is that you don't need to get right in his face to hit him and it comes out fast enough.
@@CodenameMood Basically, if you can't reliably staggered them within 2 attacks, it's going to be a high wall that you have to climb over instead of brute forcing through, or the only other way is play as a rat.
@@bigirononmyhip3812I run a balanced/midweight build and I even still run into trouble. My AC's strength is (supposed to be) air superiority but the height cap on some of the maps is so low that some guy with an all out tank, miniguns, and earshots can still get in my face, even though I've dealt an amount of damage that would have staggered 95% of all other ACs... Kinda mind boggling to me but I'm trying to find the work around!
Does this count as meta, i use dual heavy pistols and dual gatling cannons on shoulder, the gatlings are for pressure and the pistols are for stun lock and damage, i time my shots carefully when the reticle is on target to get hits accurately. So far im rank B, I've hit my ups and downs but genuinely had fun so far aside from the metas. I'm mainly a fps player (mostly gritty shooters and only 1 competitive). i genuinely hate meta, I wanna have fun and win but fairly.
I was literally beating this combo in ranked yesterday lmfao Melee boost cancels also suck against someone who plays vertical, and this stuff is just asking to be assault armored/krsv'd to the face. It's a fun playstyle though, and I've got a few dope setups with it and the krsv mainhand as well.
I too met the dude at 1:17 Thought build was very good as it game me an hard time, so I'd nerf myself by playing Delivery Boy instead of some missiles Met you right after Whipped yo ass with yoyo I'm sorry for that, good match tho, wish I was running my usual pilebunk build for giggles and shit
Most weapons in the game are good against melee due to animation stun, the fact that I can't move when I'm doing melee. Weapons like slow missiles benefit from this because they catch up and hit me against my will.
@@CodenameMood I've also mastered the art of the Dboy I've used to be a kikaku surfer too but my bad connection and HW meta made me stop for a while now Also I learnt double melee by you and then perfect it for myself
'Ha-ha, you've lost the build game, I am a missle boat and you are a melee build.'

Wow, 300+ hours in and i only just now learned that linear rifles hold their charge during melee and melee cancels. Neat.
Coral rifle's charge also stay as well. I've tried it, it's awesome as combo with pile-bunker.
didn't know pile bunker could attack the opponent's internet cable irl, pog
the movement looks sick as af, great job

Can you do a demonstration of how tackle tank builds with melee taking down Volta from the attack the dam complex mission where you have to take both Iguazu and Volta? Iguazu is normally a push over with melee... but Volta is an absolute nightmare on approach
In and out. Land melee, disengage while they are staggered, and repeat. Volta will devour you if you sit near.
@@CodenameMood I'm using a lightweight dual melee build (Laser lance + Pile Bunker) with a Majestic on my right arm and BML-G2 P03MLT-06 on my right shoulder. Iguazu is easy, catch him with a charged Laser Lance, Majestic for the Stagger and then eliminate with a Charged Pile Bunker. Problem's come in for the approach to Volta, he does a great job of shooting point blank into my face on the approach with my melee either with the Zimmy, Gou Chen, Birds, and then continuously chips with his split missiles. It's very difficult with my set up to get a good stagger set up to hammer on him with the Laser Lance to combo into the Charged Pile Bunker. maybe at least 7/8 approaches on the melee swing, I'll get stomped by Gou Chen, Zimmy, or the birds. Reason why I was hoping you would be able to do a video on what strategies to implement on a heavy tank build using a light weight AC.
@@maniacallyhappy just use plasma thrower while he's staggered, don't get too close otherwise because he recovers too fast.
@@Ghorda9 Plasma thrower with a Nachtreiher core and leg build seems like it would be a bad combination, especially against Cannon Head thanks to the stance stop, even with quick boosting out of it... I've beat the mission already. Had to swap out the 6 missile launcher for a 10 missile launcher and just harassed him to death from a far... but it would be awesome to see what strategies Mood uses against a similar build that would wreck a light weight in PvP
@@maniacallyhappy it's how i beat him, i used duel duckets with plasma thrower, all you need to do is stun him and immediately use a single strike from the plasma thrower. The key is that you don't need to get right in his face to hit him and it comes out fast enough.
1:14 to 1:15
THAT is DEFINITELY a screenshot worthy moment!
Gah damn ge do be schmoovin'
Didn't knew you could cancel the sword dash
kikaku booster my beloved
The only reason this works is because of the horrid netcode that enables the Harris to connect when it should have missed
HOW ARE YOU MOVING SO FAST?!
Man, you're good.
Nice job, is there a reason you don't hard lock?
Freedom of movement, it's more restricted with hard-lock.
Hard lock is mainly for console players since it’s harder to move a camera around with a joystick compared to a mouse.
No doubt the best i've seen. But i wanna see how you handle those brain dead super tanky tread builds. Melee just doesn't on them but maybe you can
It's a stone wall. They can damage me even after I hit them due to netcode, undodgable up that close.
@@CodenameMood Basically, if you can't reliably staggered them within 2 attacks, it's going to be a high wall that you have to climb over instead of brute forcing through, or the only other way is play as a rat.
Try atleast a midweight for it
@@bigirononmyhip3812I run a balanced/midweight build and I even still run into trouble. My AC's strength is (supposed to be) air superiority but the height cap on some of the maps is so low that some guy with an all out tank, miniguns, and earshots can still get in my face, even though I've dealt an amount of damage that would have staggered 95% of all other ACs... Kinda mind boggling to me but I'm trying to find the work around!
@@aloafofbagels6381 ah well with the coral oscillator and red moonlight melees I can fight heavies
which generator are you using? I assume you are sporting the Kikaku
Kikaku indeed, San-Tai generator.
Chad build
Holy shit I've never thought of using a dash to cancel the pulse blade lunge to close distance, that's actually fucking genius!
How do you get such a long range pile punker movement and what is your engine as i am failing miserably
Quickboost into pilebunker.
OK then I got no clue what thrusters you are using as I tried that but never got that range and I'm using kikaku
I'm also using Kikaku.@@glacierfox5237
Does this count as meta, i use dual heavy pistols and dual gatling cannons on shoulder, the gatlings are for pressure and the pistols are for stun lock and damage, i time my shots carefully when the reticle is on target to get hits accurately. So far im rank B, I've hit my ups and downs but genuinely had fun so far aside from the metas.
I'm mainly a fps player (mostly gritty shooters and only 1 competitive).
i genuinely hate meta, I wanna have fun and win but fairly.
Your build is anything but meta, grind away.
@@CodenameMood I will thx alot. I'm rooting for you, destroy this Meta S rankers
Can I ask the build？
W7AYPQ4UUXCP - Build Code, PC.
imma remake it and try and improve it
You are welcome to try.
I was literally beating this combo in ranked yesterday lmfao
Melee boost cancels also suck against someone who plays vertical, and this stuff is just asking to be assault armored/krsv'd to the face.
It's a fun playstyle though, and I've got a few dope setups with it and the krsv mainhand as well.
Nah, I'd win.
@@CodenameMood "Stand tall, you are strong"
Rushing missle rats is so satisfying, free W lol
I too met the dude at 1:17
Thought build was very good as it game me an hard time, so I'd nerf myself by playing Delivery Boy instead of some missiles
Met you right after
Whipped yo ass with yoyo
I'm sorry for that, good match tho, wish I was running my usual pilebunk build for giggles and shit
Most weapons in the game are good against melee due to animation stun, the fact that I can't move when I'm doing melee. Weapons like slow missiles benefit from this because they catch up and hit me against my will.
@@CodenameMood I've also mastered the art of the Dboy
I've used to be a kikaku surfer too but my bad connection and HW meta made me stop for a while now
Also I learnt double melee by you and then perfect it for myself
Nice!
Sick gameplay
build details??
You can figure out the parts on your own.
Pulse Blade, Pile Bunker, Harris, Abbot FCS, San-Tai Generator, Kikaku Booster.
Video disliked, no pay the piper sound. 😊
PAY. THE. PIPER. ✊️
JK, sound of player disconnecting is more satisfying ❤
