This felt like a really good one. It was genuinely thrilling in a way that a lot of recent 1v1 battles haven't been, but that might entirely be down to the lack of any Crisis Mode. There wasn't any "You're doing too well, let's erase all your progress and bring you down to just above the CM threshold and not give it to you and let Blue win" BS. When I saw Red's hp at 4, I legitimately thought it was over until I saw the leaves, at which point I felt a glimmer of hope. And that's how it _should_ be. The one losing shouldn't be handed the win because they scraped their knee, they should have to actually fight to get back on their feet.
There are legitimate cases for crisis mode, but it's mostly in games where otherwise it's "lol you got a tiny advantage at the start and now you win because this game snowballs too hard". It's also a lot better when it's more about changing action priority (e.g. crisis mode player goes on the defensive) than actually powering up one side or the other.
@@Interesting_Failure The ones where I can't stand are where it essentially goes "lol, you just went .5 cm ahead of your opponent. No marbles for you!" And it seems like most of the Crisis Modes (that I remember) essentially hand the win to the losing side if the other side doesn't have a massive lead.
its happened both ways, and most of the time an OP crisis mode on one side can trigger another crisis mode the another side, so its actually pretty well balanced IMO since without that the vids would take 4 minutes instead of 15 because i think its extremely difficult to make a minigame like this where its not like "lmao this side got 1 OP bullet now he wins and its only 16 seconds in"
I think MIKAN will run multiple iterations (probably as many as 50) and choose the most interesting of them to post. I've noticed that the color/team that goes down to a low hp earlier/first will almost always end up the winner, and I think those videos are chosen on purpose. I love it, honestly! One of my favorite channels. And they just keep getting better!
Mikan loves making an underdog and then making them win There‘s multiple reasons why they could possibly do that and multiple ways they do it Here it’s 1v1, the winner gets low first. Directly after Regeneration gets introduced. Sometimes it’s also 1v1v1v1, then the least looked at wins. Often that’s yellow as most people will either choose green for being the color of nature, red for being the color of power (also love but not in this context), blue because everyone who doesn’t have a favorite color says blue. Yellow is incredibly overlooked. The reasons are… interesting tho. Reason 1: Greediness It could be that mikan just wants interesting outcomes and so makes comebacks Reason 2: Punisher Some people don’t place bets until someone gets low, so they punishe those who didn’t choose at the beginning Reason 3: Motivational Message Mikan maybe just wants to show that even with the least hope you might just win by getting lucky. Reason 4: The power of adrenaline Mikan sometimes also includes the power of „being behind“, where the underdog gets a boost. Same is during fights in real life, if you and your opponent are close in strength, but you injure him faster, he will get adrenals faster and be in killing mode first, giving you the worst chances of winning the fight.
Perhaps you can add hit points to branches too, as missiles can easily penetrate through by bouncing quite a few times with the help of bomb and spear fruits.
Always love the tree/coral battles (or all modes which relies on growth). Aesthetically pleasing and always titillating to wat h since the winner is seldom predictable - only apparent when one side manage to grow a jungle. This is one of the more balanced battles - not having anything against crisis mode but sometimes it's very overpowering and imbalanced and frustrating to watch. Keep up the game!
This has been one of the best battles ever. I thought it was over at the half. Insane to see another 7 minutes left. Gorgeous level design; love the leaves. Brilliant battle.
This was really creative, the visual responses to the tactile stimulation throughout made it really satisfying, especially seeing a huge "fruit salvo" get sent off
At the end Blue was prioritizing some spots inorder to make sure they were good, but after the destruction by Red they never could recover to what Red did. Red would demolish Blue after Blue fails the attempt at offense. Red would have spammed Spears and also have made every spot have atleast something there. This would make Red impossible to destroy as the weak Blue got completely missile'd into an oblivion.
5:16 Of course the blue’s biggest missile got destroyed by a tiny missile before it even got the chance to fire. I saw that coming a mile away but it still annoyed me lmao.
Also waiting for a battle tree mode in which the sides can launch whole tree (regardless of the size) to the opponent lol. And since sometimes the trees grow so long it makes contact with the opponent's trees, contact damage may be entertaining. Whatever is possible through Unity ofc.
Do you do a few runs to see if any "drama" happens or are these always first run? Also, if you do multiple, it would be interesting to see some stats like quickest vs. longest win, etc.
I can't believe it - The team I always support, but never wins, has finally won. Also, I love how the missiles circle around where the loser was after it was destroyed.
Idk when I started watching these, it's been quite a long time but I have watched 99% of the videos on this channel in order of release date when I'm laying in bed right before I go to sleep. I am now caught up and don't know what to do with myself anymore
Idea: Growing Tree Race Same rules as tree battle 1, but instead of destroying your opponent, the win condition is to get to the other side of the map.
The worst place to be in a MIKAN 1v1 battle is comfortably ahead with 7 minutes left in the video
I knew blue lost the second red hit 4hp
Yeah the other team always makes the biggest comeback

I don't know, crisis mode can help give a sense of agency to the teams.

@@Interesting_Failure Yeah, the problem is when Crisis Mode is too heavyhanded, then basically whichever team gets the first endgame crisis mode wins.
Mikan is the only person i met so far who thought trees are perfect battle artillery.
Wdym? Trees ARE the best form of artilleries.
I raise your high fantasy ents
You even got hearted lmao
If we wanna get technical, the trees are siege weapons. It's the _fruit_ that are the perfect battle artillery, and... well, Mikan is an orange.
@@JustAnotherCommenter bien dicho, tu demuestra quien manda
Honestly, this is the most balanced tree battle yet. Would love to see more of this. (Maybe make Both teams planets to fit with the theme of trees?)
We could have a battle royal of this if the activation mechanism (?) had spacing all around it
@@gavinbrown216 I think I get what you mean. And this would be pretty cool to see as a battle royale. It would be very interesting.
Altogut good idea the video wuld be like 5 days long and take months to make
no it off some of blue attack alway miss when red dont
How is this balanced? Blue literally has an upper hand thanks to gravity.
4 hp and 9 hp... I'm surprised at how both teams recovered from that somehow...

The battle is so intense i love it!
Great video as usual, i always excited on your every video!
5:20 Red destroying blue's "superweapen" before it get launched is a miracle.

That thing was the size of red
It would be better if it didn't die in 1 hit tho

Red surviving and turning the entire table around with 4 hp it's just legendary

This is the most unique and perhaps most balanced tree battle style i've seen
I knew Red would win as soon as it got to 4HP. Worth it 😂
Lol I was rooting for Blue and as soon as I saw Red at 4 hp and the video was only halfway through I knew Blue was screwed.
5:16
Of course the blue’s biggest missile got destroyed by a tiny missile before it even got the chance to fire.

that's why u gotta root for red

The little missiles swirling around your logo was a cute detail ❣️
Tree battles are definitely my favorite out of all your content.
FINALLY) The best version of battles is here! I love these organic ones.
what normal people see: tree
what mikan sees: explosives
when the drop comes and the team you're rooting for does absolutely nothing
I like the music for this one, it's much better than your usual music
I haven't been so hyped about a battle in a long time. Awesome stuff, it was super cool, even had some epic comebacks and clutches!
Do you do a few runs to see if any "drama" happens or are these always first run? Also, if you do multiple, it would be interesting to see some stats like quickest vs. longest win, etc.
Mikans' said before, they run it through until they get a match that's interesting enough.
He also uses thumbnails from runs he didn't use so they can't be used as spoilers.
@@AJStarhiker that’s very smart and thoughtful
@@catmatt777 I wonder how you'd even identify and sort which ones interesting and which ones arent
@@eitakou Whichever ones the first team to get a lead loses.
I can't believe it - The team I always support, but never wins, has finally won.
Also, I love how the missiles circle around where the loser was after it was destroyed.
The red hiveminds addiction to the quantity button has finally paid off
every new video becomes more awesome than the last! awesome work!!!
I really liked the music that opened this video! Also the leaves are so pretty!
That was beautiful. The leaves really made the battle something else
It's just outstanding how much detail MIKAN's PC can handle
It's definitely nice to see the leaves on the tree
Nice to see Red win once and a while.
The clutch comeback!
the way how red kept on bouncing at 4:20 made my heart pumping and said "when are ya going to stop"
The leaves really saved reds ass! I like the idea of adding leaves! Id love to see more of this
the live chat for this was like a football match except this one is likeb by everybody, where football needs some veterans
Why is this so cool. I've been trying to wrap my head around why this is so cool.
mikan's marble runs/battles are the literally defenition of never let your opponent know your next move
I love the leaf mode idea
Idk when I started watching these, it's been quite a long time but I have watched 99% of the videos on this channel in order of release date when I'm laying in bed right before I go to sleep.

This makes me want to play Eufloria again.
Nice vid Mikan! Also congrats for 800k sub.
Nice detail putting the profile were the rockets coming round and round!
6:05 Lmfao Red surviving on 4 HP, man's refuses to give up.
13:30 Hell yeah and Red actually wins!
Captivating as always.
nice detail at the end with the missiles circling the MIKAN logo
I like how the missiles kept circling your logo at the end.
man these are my favourite type of battles
I would love to see this one expanded on. Maybe a 4 color battle, with panic mode boosts when low on health?
please no panic/crisis mode on this one
Crisis mode should be a defensive trade-off.
Finally !! My team finally win after maybe 4 or 5 battle bruh. And btw very fresh content mikan gg
MIKAN never fails to show amazing content!
*que pena que mí color favorito ha perdido* 🌳
😅 Pero al menos me diverti, estuvo emocionante y me alegra que volviera la batalla de árboles ✨
Red looked like they were gonna lose until leaves nice
Least threatening part of Australia nature:
Channel is underrated.
The leaves really helped red to survive longer
I love how blue consistently madd superweapons..
That also consistently got foiled by red
Idea: Growing Tree Race
Same rules as tree battle 1, but instead of destroying your opponent, the win condition is to get to the other side of the map.
That red clutch tho omg hahahaha
Blue’s missle swarm at 5:35 is awesome
one of my favourite versuses so far. just wish we'd gotten to see more spear action
the red and blue empire wars continues
I check every day for a new banger video.
I love your videos of algodoo tree battle
Wow, this is a intresting growing tree battle

That was beautiful, more like this
A Mikan upload? On my birthday?! Can this get any better?
The quality only goes up. Nice new track btw.
also LOOK AT THEEZE TREES GROWIN I LOVE IT!
How festive! They are shooting Christmas lights at each other.
I mean when the genuine Christmas Tree wins, then it's all good.
Tree battles are my new fav
Enjoyable video, but I swear the warmer colors almost always win.
Soundtrack was on point
What a comeback that was
Blue, after getting hit hard in round 1: “Have we tried Nuclear War?”
Babe wake up, new Mikan video just dropped
We need MUCH motre vids like that 👌
I watched you when I was 6 and I forgot about you I have ben looking for this channel for so long
We need more of these tree battles! It's the perfect mix of Multiply X Release, Base Building, and Core Destruction!
you know this is actually nice i thought red was done for when he was at 4 hp luckily he won
RED COMEBACK. Wow that was a good battle
this is you are my favorite youtuber❤️❤️❤️❤️
At the first.. the planet was empty..and then last...it..become an freaking amazing Virus LOL
As a member of the future, I can confirm that blue wins
(fuck red won 🗿)
this didnt age well
false future
As a member of *a future
Welcome to the multiverse.
@@JustAnotherCommenter Oh SHI-
I love your vídeos
This is a very fun battle. I’d love to do it with just spears.
It is incredible how a team is winning, a crisis mode is released that is more op than one punch man and the one who stayed 4 hours behind wins
I love your vídeos le algodoo tres battle
bombs for artillery missiels spares omg keep the vids up
Really good one
I forgot that the red hivemind had an addiction to spamming big numbers until I saw them get 500 in the fruit
I love your video
Lol i always rooted for red and when i saw 4 hp… it was *INSANE!*
The most balanced tree battle vid yet. and what's better RED WON ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Wait a minute, what will happen if I grow one of these trees on my backyard?
...
Red lived on 4HP and won
Peril strats.
Interesting videos as always.
5:50 and kids this is how babies are made
