Master of the Arena, Nine-ball Collared Rank 9, White Glint Reaper 1, J, Piloting the N-WGIX/v Even Chief, DOVE, IBIS, and the Pulverizers Hell will never hold this monster back, and Heaven can only sing its name with reverence Nine-ball is truly an eternal rival whose ghost continues to haunt Ravens and LYNXes to this day And chances are, we may meet again I'll keep in touch.
I'm guessing Nineball's fame far surpasses White Glint's. Epic music for an epic machine. I'm just glad I don't have to face this unit in Armored Core 4 Answer. The NEXTs I fight there are trouble enough.
Nine Ball has had far more appearances. White Glint only showed up twice, AC 4 had Joshua O'Brian piloting the OG which didn't have unique parts that I recall. Then For Answer had Anatolia's Mercenary using a rebuild White Glint with unique parts that got peoples attention properly. Meanwhile, Nine Ball showed up in Armored Core. Yes, AC1, the original, as the top ranked Raven and final boss, Twice. Master of Arena's entire story revolved around the player's character (Leo's Klien though not named until AC 2) working to face Nine Ball as revenge. It included fighting Nine Ball. Then _two_ Nine Balls at once, and then Nineball Seraph. That's the one I think most people remember strongly, because good god that was hard. In AC2 Another Age, there is a mission to face Nineball as an 'unknown AC that is killing off Ravens' and described as 'an older model'. Armored Core 3 had a pair of Unmanned AC's as it's final boss equivalent in reference to AC 1 and Master of Arena. (Being the second remake of Armored Core 1 essentially.) Silent Line's final boss, IBIS uses a similar unit in different color scheme to Nineball Seraph Nexus has a mission to face a recreation of Nineball Seraph as bonus content. Last Raven rewarded you the parts to recreate Nine Ball entirely (not Seraph, just the original) for S ranking some of the hardest content ever in an Armored Core game. (I may be missing a couple of references and appearances, that's how ubiquitous Nine Ball is in the series.) Amusingly, in the original Armored Core, Nine Ball didn't have unique music. Instead the same music as the first mission of the game played, Circulation specifically.
@CodeR2Gundam00 From what I remember, the title of Ninebreaker first arose when Nineball was defeated at the end of AC: MOA. It was then handed out to those who could defeat the top-ranked Raven. Leos Kline was a Ninebreaker, so he was at the top at one point. Likewise, Ares is as well, until you defeat him, that is.
@Van0079 An additional note: completing all the routes in ACE R unlocks him as playable and it got various buffs from its original appearance (Primal Armor, Cloaking field, bits, mega beams, missile spam, etc.) Yeah it's your turn to give other things the "Oh Crap" reaction.
@Van0079 There are several incarnations of him throughout pretty much every AC save for 2, 3 and Silent Line. There are similar models but no major encounters between 2:AA and Nexus. He actually made his very first appearance in the first game during missions but Master of Arena was where the running fame of Nineball being a terror came from. Its also why the antagonist of AC:2 had any merit. They even gave the thing a cameo in the AC Novel beating up on someone.
@ItohKuni Silent line he takes the form of Ibis. In Nexus he disappeared but this time instead of trying to fix mankind, he decided to wipe everything out to start again (suicide bombs). 9 Breaker they train you and he's the last boss. Last Raven, he comes back as a mysterious AI controlling the pulverizers. 9 Ball is an AI that secretly controls humanity and is always a step ahead. His original seraph form looks and moves much like a next from AC5, and that was all the way back in MOA.

@videoscannermetru Well to be fair White Glint is new to the scene by comparison (granted it's an awesome design) but Nineball is one of those bosses that haunts games as a challenge point for the player. I know plenty of people that walked into the AC:AA fight with him and got roflstomped.
He originally came from Armored Core: Master of Arena as the final boss. He was remembered for being a rape machine, and he's made re-appearances since then. He appeared in Armored Core 2: Another age as an extra boss, and he was harder than before because he was the exact same as the first game, while AC2's ACs were weaker gameplay-wise than the first game's ACs. He also appeared in Another Century's Episode: R as an extra boss, which is where this remixed version of his theme comes from.
@@Rionaltair oh but the 3v1 mission is easy when u realize none of those suckers hv anti missile defense, oh and their AI is super cheesable Unlike Mr NB here, who *can’t be cheesed* in any way at all
To be honest, it would be a legitimately ironic event if they *did* create Nineball. Because Nineball himself goes against everything they believe. Or, well, at least everything Terumi believes. In trying to create the biggest magnificent bastard of an AI, they'd end up with one who would end up oufbastarding them and going out the other side of the bastard spectrum.
@orkkilla5589 He's one of the bodies of the Raven Hustler-1, who turns out to actually be an AI secretly in control of what's left of the world to protect it. After foiling a lot of his plans to keep things in order, he deems you a threat that has to be taken care of personally, so he brings you out somewhere to fight his Seraph body. Once he's beaten, he's gone for good. Nobody knew who created him, and all we know is that he was supposed to "protect" what was left of humanity and the world.
@AumaanXaryne There were none in 4/4A, and 2:AA's was a bonus fight with a different Seraph design. The AA fight against regular Nineball was supposedly a rouge or missing unit, since those things were mass-produced. It doesn't help its arena is basically the training room for the original Raven's Nest. Also, Seraph originated in MoA.
Nineball is to Ravens as Sephiroth is to Cloud. No matter what game Cloud is in, Sephiroth is following. And no matter what mech game WE are, this crimson bastard is not gonna be too far away.
@orkkilla5589 If you string all the stories together, you'll probably conclude that 9-ball is an AI originally designed to control, protect, oversee, and guide mankind. You shut him down in AC1. In Master of Arena he comes back secretly controlling the arena and corporations. You kill him because he's the AC that killed your family. In AC2 it's much speculated that Klien is the raven that originally defeated 9 ball. In AC2AA He comes back as a boss. In 3 He is the controller, Silent Line
Thank you for the upload, Van! Hearing this remix do Nineball and its theme justice makes me want to get ACE:R (if there is a NA copy of it around). On another note, where did you get that picture that appears at 2:40? It is really cool and intimidating--perfect for Nineball!
In ac2 another age. Beating 9 ball seraph took a high speed hover type with dual large back missiles and a grenade launcher. Not to mention leaving an energy shield up almost the whole time
+tonyblitz1 you dont have ot go that far to manage it you do need ot have good turning aiblity and some speed so you cna actually dodge and keep up with him so your weapons can lock onto it if you keep him in your lock box at all times your golden
Ricardo Teixeira I remember the tough part was building a mech with enough firepower that could still strafe fast enough to dodge the laser sword when 9 ball goes into chase mode, unless there's some other trick to dodging it. I just strafed a giant circle with him chasing, and by the time he paused to slash he'd miss by a narrow margin
+tonyblitz1 I just used my MG build, basically sword, gun, and small missiles, expecting to get wrecked while I figured out what to bring for real, and was able to just back-pedal the poor guy for a few minutes like some sort of flying lead pez dispenser..
Yeah, my initial reaction to fighting two whole ass Nineballs at the end of the original Armored Core was total confusion followed by frustration. Then Master of Arena came around and really pulled a Matrix red pill on me lol.
@videoscannermetru To give you an idea. Nine Ball Seraph is basically a next with it's capabilities.. while in those games you're confined to a Normal. It also launches hi-laser blasts every time it swings it's swords.
Actually In Armored core nexus the final boss was named '????????' in the american version, in the japanese version the boss was named nineball. this boss was a pulverizer prototype based off nineball's original design and colorscheme (with slight variances) this followed into last raven where the pulverizors became more prominent and managed to evolve from the nineball archetype.
@VladimirArkov He's not bad in ACE. In AC: MoA he's a bitch unless you get the right setup and stay as far away from him as possible. In AC2: AA he's the exact same, it's just your weapons have gotten weaker and slower, and you yourself are slower as well, so that ramps the difficulty up by quiet a bit.
Depends on what you mean, The black is due to NB Seraph making a cameo in some AC manga (which took place in it's own setting). If you're talking about the blue ones, well... that's an in-joke in the Touhou community. Look up Cirno if you want to get that one.
@Van0079 I don't know why I disregarded 4/4A, but you're right I don't think there was ever any mention or model that referenced Nineball. Canon or not, I'm convinced the Stinger/Phantasma/Seraph fights in AA were there just to make older fans curse at their TVs.
The final boss is a sort of miniature Nineball Seraph that does fly-bys with huge laser beams, and shoots missiles all over the fucking place. But he's really, really easy to kill.
Ehh... Nineball has a knack of just keep coming back and kicking your arse. That is the reason why Nineball is overall more popular, plus White Glint (AFA) could kind of be like a loose reference to nineball.
They just took an already broken Mech and made it more deadly. i mean really same tier as Hi-Nu Gundam? Cloak system, Orbital weapons, huge chest lazer, including all its weaponry from before whilst upgrading all of its capabilities as well?
Sad thing is... WE BEAT NINEBALL in Master Of The Arena. You know which mech is to be feared? ANUBIS- wait no we kicked his ass too. NAKED JEHUTY. Nothing is more powerful than naked jehuty.
It's been confirmed Nineball is going to comeback in AC5....this time he makes his Seraph form look like an E-ranker, mainly do to A.I. intelligence. So hiding won't work, do to buildings being destructable. So expect him to piss you off more that Final Zinaida and 2nd Final Pulverizer, even though it is reported you will have "N.E.X.T." allies more than the usual 1-2.
@Shockwave1171 Nineball by far, megatron would be too busy talking about his 'evil' plans to realize that nineball had demolished him a few minutes earlier.
Expect to get reamed a few times. Stay on the move, use missiles to chip at him when you can't get a good gun lock, and for the love of god the moment that fight starts, MOVE. The instant you get control he's gonna rush you and can demolish your health right then and there.
Very first AC has the final mission with 2 nineballs fought one after another. Both are fought in giant shafts. Master of Arena has nineball show up a few times thoughout the game, can't remember if multiple show up in any level except the last. MoA's final mission, has one, then two together, before finally ending with NB seraph. If you have the karasawa with option parts to boost fire rate and attack power, and reduce energy consumption, you can cheese regular NBs reasonably, although 2 at once can be a bitch regardless.
Hustler-One's not that high on the tom pole of "really good pilots". Sure, he's got inhuman capabilities and doesn't need to worry about the limitations of the human body, but that doesn't mean he's gonna outclass everyone. Hell, the Frontier VFs had systems in the cockpit to help ignore or limit G-forces, so then its up to the skill of the pilot. I fear to see what Max Jenius could do in NB Seraph.

In AC2 it's much speculated that Klien is the raven that originally defeated 9 ball. In AC2AA He comes back as a boss. In 3 He is the controller, Silent Line
Thank you for the upload, Van! Hearing this remix do Nineball and its theme justice makes me want to get ACE:R (if there is a NA copy of it around). On another note, where did you get that picture that appears at 2:40? It is really cool and intimidating--perfect for Nineball!
Out of all armored core games I never had so much trouble trying to kill ninball
did you try fighting him in Another Century Episode R ?
Man, it would've been nice to get his parts!
wow, this a sick remix actually, badass
In ac2 another age. Beating 9 ball seraph took a high speed hover type with dual large back missiles and a grenade launcher. Not to mention leaving an energy shield up almost the whole time
nothingtodohere123 Yeah Seraph became a little too easy after a while. I honestly had more trouble with the tank thing.
+tonyblitz1 you dont have ot go that far to manage it you do need ot have good turning aiblity and some speed so you cna actually dodge and keep up with him so your weapons can lock onto it
if you keep him in your lock box at all times your golden
Ricardo Teixeira I remember the tough part was building a mech with enough firepower that could still strafe fast enough to dodge the laser sword when 9 ball goes into chase mode, unless there's some other trick to dodging it. I just strafed a giant circle with him chasing, and by the time he paused to slash he'd miss by a narrow margin
+tonyblitz1 I just used my MG build, basically sword, gun, and small missiles, expecting to get wrecked while I figured out what to bring for real, and was able to just back-pedal the poor guy for a few minutes like some sort of flying lead pez dispenser..
When you realised Nine Ball is a computer...
Guyver-971 we already knew tht
Fire Power701 Not everybody....
Guyver-971 when you see the tons of 9-ball units...
(Promptly prays that he wouldn't have to fight THAT many.)
Yeah, my initial reaction to fighting two whole ass Nineballs at the end of the original Armored Core was total confusion followed by frustration. Then Master of Arena came around and really pulled a Matrix red pill on me lol.
@videoscannermetru
To give you an idea. Nine Ball Seraph is basically a next with it's capabilities.. while in those games you're confined to a Normal. It also launches hi-laser blasts every time it swings it's swords.
@Van0079 I loved MOA and AA and I agree.
I would love to see a new Nine Ball in the future but I guess that's wishful thinking.
Watching my brother fight against 9B was epic, I tried to fight 9B but I couldn't beat him XD
Armored Core Nexus will remain in our hearts forever
Actually In Armored core nexus the final boss was named '????????' in the american version, in the japanese version the boss was named nineball. this boss was a pulverizer prototype based off nineball's original design and colorscheme (with slight variances) this followed into last raven where the pulverizors became more prominent and managed to evolve from the nineball archetype.
Yall spread the word. #bringbacknineball
The awesomness in that is just beyond comprehension
who else thinks this fits for workout playlist
Nineball is literally Sephiroth of AC series.
Char vs Nine Ball. ❤️
Fear me
@VladimirArkov
He's not bad in ACE. In AC: MoA he's a bitch unless you get the right setup and stay as far away from him as possible. In AC2: AA he's the exact same, it's just your weapons have gotten weaker and slower, and you yourself are slower as well, so that ramps the difficulty up by quiet a bit.
ナインボール・セラフネクスト
More like doing a victory lap around the planet on his way to give G13 a Mecha Bro Fist.
Depends on what you mean, The black is due to NB Seraph making a cameo in some AC manga (which took place in it's own setting). If you're talking about the blue ones, well... that's an in-joke in the Touhou community. Look up Cirno if you want to get that one.
thx for that warning ...a site like that would truly haunt alot of us D:
hope we get a rendition of this in AC6
@Van0079 I don't know why I disregarded 4/4A, but you're right I don't think there was ever any mention or model that referenced Nineball. Canon or not, I'm convinced the Stinger/Phantasma/Seraph fights in AA were there just to make older fans curse at their TVs.
freaking hot remix
0 Dislikes. You know why? Everyone who's seen this knows Nineball and freakin' FEARS HIM.
Going to use this theme in paintball battles.
The Red Comet.
Lol yeah
Imagine a "NEXT" version of Nine Ball, even thoug he is already considered a NEXT
A NEXT would likely curb stomp Seraph.
Pretty sure that White Glint is supposed to be that.
What a godly entity
9 is too good! 0 dislikes?!??!! Armored Core really is amazing! lol
DAT BASS! OH DAT BASS!
@heliosis01
He actually got powered up in this game.
@Van0079
If I recall, Leos is supposed to be the original Nine Breaker. He's you from MoA.
The black one was a model kit called Another Seraph. I hope that helps somewhat.
And then Elder God Demonbane comes in while no fucks are given about powerlevels.
Fucking Demonbane.
The final boss is a sort of miniature Nineball Seraph that does fly-bys with huge laser beams, and shoots missiles all over the fucking place. But he's really, really easy to kill.
There's this nifty thing called a video description.
Ehh... Nineball has a knack of just keep coming back and kicking your arse. That is the reason why Nineball is overall more popular, plus White Glint (AFA) could kind of be like a loose reference to nineball.
Well, WG and Nine Ball are the only ACs that ever "resurrected," and White Glint is #9 in the Collared ranking.
@ReiKusanagi If Nine Ball Seraph makes a cameo in future AC games, let's hope it has all those cool buffs. :)
Where can I get that picture of the black 9-ball seraph? It's very well done.
Given how bloody slow these Generation 5 ACs are, I wouldnt be suprised if Nineball Seraph or even just plain old nineball couldnt take em on.
well peoples.....you hear this song, all of a sudden, GAME OVER.
ロボットポンコッツ過ぎるマジで
ロボゼロとロボまる…
HE'S A CHAR!!!
Someone sure is frustrated.
This song always prevent me to get away from the computer. =|
When the AC games are long gone, and people don't even know what Nine Ball is, he'll still be making cameos.
行け・・・・・「イレギュラー」を排除しろ！！
ターゲット確認... 排除開始...
@InfinityRabbit BRILLIANT!
you guys are forgeting 9-ball appears in armored core 4..... but thats if your lucky enough to get the pre order edition of it x.x
They just took an already broken Mech and made it more deadly. i mean really same tier as Hi-Nu Gundam? Cloak system, Orbital weapons, huge chest lazer, including all its weaponry from before whilst upgrading all of its capabilities as well?
Sad thing is... WE BEAT NINEBALL in Master Of The Arena.
You know which mech is to be feared? ANUBIS- wait no we kicked his ass too.
NAKED JEHUTY. Nothing is more powerful than naked jehuty.
^^^^^^Naked Jehuty literally one shots everything but lvl9 Mummyheads, and breaks through Viola's energy shield with its OP energy shots.
Dusty Howard 5-years-late-man, the world's worst superhero, AWAAAAY!
It's been confirmed Nineball is going to comeback in AC5....this time he makes his Seraph form look like an E-ranker, mainly do to A.I. intelligence. So hiding won't work, do to buildings being destructable. So expect him to piss you off more that Final Zinaida and 2nd Final Pulverizer, even though it is reported you will have "N.E.X.T." allies more than the usual 1-2.
It's a lot better to search on the source site and get more images in a better quality than to use google's iffy search engine.
The intensity reminds me of touhou music....... Wait a second.... 9?... HOLY SHIT CIRNO.....
@Shockwave1171 Nineball by far, megatron would be too busy talking about his 'evil' plans to realize that nineball had demolished him a few minutes earlier.
Should I be excited for or dreading the battle with this thing in AC1?
Expect to get reamed a few times. Stay on the move, use missiles to chip at him when you can't get a good gun lock, and for the love of god the moment that fight starts, MOVE. The instant you get control he's gonna rush you and can demolish your health right then and there.
Van0079 I'm assuming this isn't the mission where there's two Nineballs? I've heard that exists.
Very first AC has the final mission with 2 nineballs fought one after another. Both are fought in giant shafts. Master of Arena has nineball show up a few times thoughout the game, can't remember if multiple show up in any level except the last. MoA's final mission, has one, then two together, before finally ending with NB seraph.
If you have the karasawa with option parts to boost fire rate and attack power, and reduce energy consumption, you can cheese regular NBs reasonably, although 2 at once can be a bitch regardless.
Hustler-One's not that high on the tom pole of "really good pilots". Sure, he's got inhuman capabilities and doesn't need to worry about the limitations of the human body, but that doesn't mean he's gonna outclass everyone. Hell, the Frontier VFs had systems in the cockpit to help ignore or limit G-forces, so then its up to the skill of the pilot.
I fear to see what Max Jenius could do in NB Seraph.
really? cause I remember hearing that 9 ball was just an Ai pilot. No human ever being mentioned with him (only using human pronouns for deceit.)
Hustler One: I've heard you've been looking for me, I don't care who you are...no one can defeat me.
