Same here on that Mangs. I’m honored by your efforts to differentiate your AWBW content from other TH-camrs and the player cards idea is exactly that. A simple thing to add without the need to heavily tweak the software or interface. Bravo Mr black belt, bravo. Have the wifey kiss that big fat dome for me ✌🏾❤️👾 (that’s the forehead…not sure if people call it the dome anymore) lolol…I’m getting on in years!
I half expected the player cards to have Hits, Misses and CO powers on them. XD. Love the idea - it's great way to get viewers hype about the combatants, especially on the occasion that you feature/introduce a player who isn't as well known yet.
The mark of a great sami player seems to be proper use of victory march. As cool as it was to capture all those properties at first, it feels like Panas spread out their infantry too much, allowing Starflash to clean them up on the follow up despite the terrible disadvantage he seemed to be in.
lose land not men, land can be taken back. lose men not land, both men and land are lost. that seems to be pretty much the central point of this match.
9:47 Panas missed an opportunity here to block the B Copter with his 4 Infantry. 1. Attack with 2 HP Infantry above the B Copter, destroy Starflash's 1HP Infantry. 2. Move 2 HP Infantry south 2 tiles. 3. Move Full HP Infantry down 1 tile on the mountain. It would take 2 turns to destroy it, but worth the effort considering how much damage Starflash's first B Copter did to Panas the entire game, finally getting destroyed on the final turn at 27:27.
I'm looking if there are any flaws to trapping the B Copter, so Panas can bring 1 more infantry on the next turn to keep the copter trapped for 2 turns in a row for the AA to reach on that 2nd turn, but Starflash has a tank that can chase Panas AA and ruin the plan.
9:22 I wonder if Starflash was contemplating to kill the infantry block the way to the AA using his copter + city capturing infantry and then get a city boosted tank shot on the AA, but he ultimately decided against it when he finished capturing that city. Looking at the incoming tank above, I guess he wasn't wild enough to delay his own capture and also wanted to use his copter more aggressively preventing Sami's capture game.
Damn, Battalion Wars, what a nostalgia hit. BWII is easily one of my top 5 games of all time. How many consecutive videos do I have to comment on to get you to do a playthrough?
If I was playing this match and sami victory marched all over me and I was 10 properties down including a base I'd have just immediately resigned. Starflash is just built different.
Even with the strong first Victory March, Sami never capitalized on the income or comm tower lead. StarFlash forced Panam to build specific units and completely shut him down.
Hypothetically, if Lash got a day to day that gave all her units a minimum of 1 terrain star regardless of terrain (so roads, coast, bridges gave 1 star, but woods would still only give 2, plains would only give 1 etc.), would that make her too strong or just fine?
1 terrain star minimum, meaning she'd have plains defense on roads and shoals? Probably pretty strong, but not game breaking. Might make her a weak T2.
@@Mangs1337 Agree somewhat, but would this synergize with her normal d2d or replace it? Not sure that'd make her particularly good if her d2d basically just guarantees a minimum 100/110 at max hp. After all, terrain star effects drop with hp, right?
@@Zsaver3 The idea i had was synergy, so she'd atleast get something out of her powers when she pops it on 0 star terrain. Because right now all that does is give her the general 10% defense boost everyone gets and nothing else.
Would be too strong. She'd get far too easy 2HKOs and she wouldn't have any down sides. Her not getting any bonus with roads and air units is the down side to balance her. Her D2D isn't even bad, it's her powers that suck.
dont take this the wrong way BUT i dont play this game or, really, any games like it. i have no idea why youtube is recommending these videos to me so anyway ive been watching your videos for like the past week now cause they have really been helping me fall asleep at night (again, please dont take this the wrong way! lol). they also have me interested in learning how to play! i am gonna make an account and try to not get crushed haha tyvm for what you do. i love the videos
I remember one time when due to just sheer dumb luck I entered a random AWBW Tournament and after 2 wins in a row I somehow got pairs with DeadFS who proceeded to perform the’Break the Bat’ and destroyed me like packet of spaghetti
Income only matters if you can put it to use. Floating cash or building expensive units that don't do much is just wasting cash. I honestly think the Sami player should have built more indirect attackers. Infantry make for fantastic blockers and artillery or rockets with +40% damage would have been devastating to deal with.
SPOILERS!! Ouch I was rooting for Panas. Most of the time i cheer for the higher skill CO (and i love Sami) It was a great match. makes me realize I really don't stand a chance at competitive AW.
I love watching your casts- But your audio mixing is a bit grating. The game, and the music in particular are too loud and drown your voice out. If you tuned those down (particularly while you are talking) it'd make for a perfect cast!
I think you had the right idea. Panas should have sacked his b-copter to damage that infantry that was 100% guaranteed to recapture the base immediately, but also the only chance Starflash had to ever recapturing it. He cannot do it the turn you mention it, but he could have done it during the SCOP turn. Instead, the copter did basically nothing. "Biggest mistake of the match"
Just like in real life. You can have big income and influence to make sure that some brute wont even have a chance to play hands on you. But sudden news of your stock prices going up wont help if he is already beating you senceless.
*Title:* Sami With 4 Comm Towers Hits Different *Match:* Not that much different, though. *Moral of the Story:* Income lead doesn't mean jack squat when you have to keep spending that income repairing your blighted units.
Jokes aside, I'm reaslly enjoyed the Player's card, should absolute must in every video
I absolutely agree. It's so cool to see all the info.
For sure! They look really nice!

Yooooo, cameo by me @1:37 (bottom of the screen). We're finally hitting the big time, boys!
That battlecopter trading almost equally against an anti-air is a thing of beauty, holy hell.

In the end, telecomunications could not beat the richs, we society in a live or something
Panas means "hot" in malay language lmao.
pana means friend in colombia
Panas doesn't mean anything in Norwegian😞
bananas means more than 1 banana
Panas is a Ukrainian name
Penis is awfully close in sound and it means the male reproductive organ in English.

Sami: Victory March straight into the enemy cities! Kindle: You fool, walked right into my trap!
With a one Tower lead Sami has her weakness negated.
With a four Tower lead Colin is nearly a Sturm with cheaper units.
Several points in this match it looked completely unwinnable for Starflash. Incredible performance on both sides, what a slog

Panas not do it because AA can't reach there?
(I kinda new to this game)

15:18 He does WHAT to his units?!

There is a saying, the best 'defense' is a good 'offense', one need not be on the 'defense' if their opponent is 'always' on the defense
If I was playing this match and sami victory marched all over me and I was 10 properties down including a base I'd have just immediately resigned. Starflash is just built different.
Been up 4 comms (for a couple of turns) with Sami on this map before. Having Grimm levels of firepower with Sami vehicles is quite fun.
starflash is really good. opponent was no joke either , that victory march swapped like 8 properties...
Sami: This will be my victory march
Kindle: Ha ha ha you fool i have 70 alternative counts.
Damn thats Kindle outnumber Sami
Even with the strong first Victory March, Sami never capitalized on the income or comm tower lead. StarFlash forced Panam to build specific units and completely shut him down.
For a minute there I actually thought StarFlash was going to lose. Those are some good Victory March plays.
It seems you have made a mistake. I am about 65% sure neither player is playing Grimm.

Just as dinner is ready, nice timing. Also its funny that Mangs Is covering the corner tile on purpose🤣
Urban spite.
I’m so early. Sami hasn’t control my property yet.
I really like the idea of having player cards besides the CO dossier!
Great match! Definitely enjoyed it. Seeing Starflash defeating an opponent with 4 Com Towers and an huge income lead is incredible.
dont take this the wrong way BUT i dont play this game or, really, any games like it.
i have no idea why youtube is recommending these videos to me
so anyway ive been watching your videos for like the past week now cause they have really been helping me fall asleep at night (again, please dont take this the wrong way! lol).
they also have me interested in learning how to play! i am gonna make an account and try to not get crushed haha
tyvm for what you do. i love the videos
StarFlash quote is the best quote ever lol
Boi love that Warcraft 2 theme's on the back.
Loving the aggressive upload schedule, these casted matches are super fun to watch.
Panas=Amigos=Friends :D
11:41 isn't it better to hit the full hp tank?
I thought you only needed to finish the enemy unit if it's against andy
Very enjoyable match
I like the player info dossier
Sami with 4 comm
I been looking forward to seeing a match like this with Sami.
Now that the algorithm is doing better can we have live Flak games again?
+ for Warcraft 2 Music!
Those mountains on the right.
I learned something that day.
You have to have at least 3 factories to have advantage on easy terrain with Sami.
Hahahah that warcraft 2 music. Nice.
Smart Mangs arc continues, I gotta hurry up and get a computer.
why did you resign when you have 2 labs mangs ?
I used to play this game when i was a kid. I really enjoyed it, and i just recently figured out this game has an online scene due to you, so thank you
Sami unlocked a new DLC, if you guys know what I mean 😏
A little surprise maybe lol
I don't follow
@@justguy-4630 you know the com tower joke?
now get 2+2
How do you do, fellow Warcraft 2 enjoyer?
"Yesh milord...."
Coom Towers at it again.
It’s an absolute banger, but is it a certified banger?
whens the next draft race , i'm craving one.
I remember one time when due to just sheer dumb luck I entered a random AWBW Tournament and after 2 wins in a row I somehow got pairs with DeadFS who proceeded to perform the’Break the Bat’ and destroyed me like packet of spaghetti
Wow, what a great game
Every time i keep trying in global league i get walloped.
I feel the player card should have current rating on it too.
Have you been playing Warcraft 1 & 2 remastered lately, Mangs?
The thumbnail makes me want an anime and I don't even watch anime.
Starflash's games are always a treat to watch, win or lose.
Income only matters if you can put it to use. Floating cash or building expensive units that don't do much is just wasting cash. I honestly think the Sami player should have built more indirect attackers. Infantry make for fantastic blockers and artillery or rockets with +40% damage would have been devastating to deal with.
I don't know if Indirects would really help when Starflash can easily front switch in a map like this, which is the main weakness of Indirect.
SPOILERS!!
Ouch I was rooting for Panas. Most of the time i cheer for the higher skill CO (and i love Sami)
It was a great match. makes me realize I really don't stand a chance at competitive AW.
Advance Wars with Warcraft 2's soundtrack hits different; in a good way.
The Starflash aggression is tough to beat
What an amazing game
This was an absolute slog!
Warcraft 2 had banger OST
WC2 music, are you going to playing the new blizzard re-master of WC1 or WC2 Mangs?
This was an amazing 800 match played by 1400s
Not a dig btw, what I mean is this is the kind of aggression I expect out of fresh players, except with the experience to actually make it work
Warcraft 2 music, I aprove 👍

Bwangs wanting updates on AWBW, not knowing how overly complicated updating legacy code is like. Oh Bwangs you sweet, sweet summer child.
how does starflash not see that victory march on the base in an async game with this time control? getting sloppy... did he allow it?
I think you had the right idea. Panas should have sacked his b-copter to damage that infantry that was 100% guaranteed to recapture the base immediately, but also the only chance Starflash had to ever recapturing it. He cannot do it the turn you mention it, but he could have done it during the SCOP turn. Instead, the copter did basically nothing. "Biggest mistake of the match"
That was a crazy game. Just shows that unit count and positioning are far superior to com towers.
Just like in real life. You can have big income and influence to make sure that some brute wont even have a chance to play hands on you. But sudden news of your stock prices going up wont help if he is already beating you senceless.
Skiboosha gang rise up
That Warcraft II music slaps
Mangs any chance you could do a review of Metal Slug Tactics sometime? Seems right up your alley
I wish Sami won. :(
Sami hits the best with an fe last boss arena stream!
Interesting match

Nive
Jesus- kindle needs nerf
First 2 hrs
Shame your video got copyright struck because of some random Chinese people.
If you play Kindle, you can be have less income and less comm tower and still win easily cause Kindle is OP.
Looked like a close game. I only saw part of it, since the bottom right was covered up⛰
