Haven't watched the video yet, but the matchup definitely seems lopsided. The only hope I can see for Nell is if Sensei runs out of time walking all his infantry.
It definitely was an uphill battle from the start, but the fact you got an airport and he didn't, there was a chance to turn the match in your favour. I think there were a couple of crucial turns in the middle there where small mistakes like not blocking his cities, and the likes, cost you. Even when clearly winning, he was really short on time, so had you gotten those crucial parts right I think he would have struggled a lot. Very interesting game and commentary!
It’s incredibly hard to close the property gap with Sensei when he’s ahead 2-4 bases. All his bases are defended by his power and with how close the properties are, the two or three infantry that spawn in can wipe out your capturing infantry. If you examine this map, almost every property on this map is next to others. Meaning Nell could never capture back anything considering how fast his meter charges if he just pops his power when you threaten a capture. When he got ahead in properties, Nell had no chance here.
Unironically you should have built Stealths (if allowed) and Black Boats to block passages and keep your Megatanks refilled. Since Sensei doesn't have any way to built Fighters and he's playing on increments, he can't properly bring any kind of counter to that part of the map until they start running out of fuel.
I was hearing something for while in the video...Boomer Kwanger's stage theme, Spark Mandril's, Storm Eagle's.... Mangs you will be always a MOC: Man Of Culture.
Nah, it still wouldn't work. He would have kept up the pressure from that port along with his powers. 😢 I would move the battleship off the port and built another, haha.
I'm surprised that shoe didn't go for the airport and mangs didn't buy a single anti-air. 150% copters are no joke. But I guess the airport is so far shoe thought it wasn't worth it About how mangs could win, about 10:00 he had a very good offence, and the mega tank strats were a good strategy in my opinion. So...I dunno. Maybe recon/aair spam would have paid off to spare high cost units from having to hit infantry, enabling building more high cost like more mega tanks, but I don't know if that would really work and in a live match, I imagine being hard to judge Great plays from both and excellent analysis
For clearing away fodder not on a city, tanks and recons are much better than Anti Airs. Sure 3 AAs can one shot 3 infantry if they all get the first strike. 3 Tanks and a Recon can cripple 4, which is usually a much better deal, especially if you're using your other funds to bolster the other fronts, like maybe building Neotanks instead of medium tanks. Unless you are like "I want that infantry dead _now_ not crippled" then this isn't a great use. AAs really shine when they are shooting... air units.
@@alex_zetsu "I want that infantry dead now not crippled" yes exactly. I imagine the problem against Sensei is that you want to remove the body wall. Making them weaker doesn't do that. Also, recons are so fragile that they take damage back from regular infantry, and Sensei's infantries are monsters. Still, I'm just guessing, I haven't played with nor against Sensei to say for sure.
Is there any chance you could do anything to replace the white background with something a bit more off white or light grey (or whatever color you like). Maybe it's because there's more of it for this particular map's dimensions, but it felt a bit blinding this time. Still watching though cuz I love these commentary matches!
I haven't play awbw in a long while but I just got reminded by Manga that Eagle should get some adjustment with his timer so that he isn't punished for using his SCOP. Like a bonus two minutes for just that turn he pops it. Might even make him go up a tier in times games like this.
I think he shouldn't, for the same reason that Sonja does not get any buffs in Standard and Sasha is one of the worst COs in High Funds but an annoying pick in Std/Fog. Time is a resource, just like money and vision, some COs work best when you can plan the entire turn for them while other ones don't really need to think too much. What I like about the Live League is that it makes missile-COs (Rachel, Sturm and Von Bolt) much less viable even on maps where they've got the advantage, as well as nerfing those who benefit from clumping up their units like Eagle or Javier, because stalling the match is much harder to do when you have to take into account the smaller size of the map and the lack of time to play with the move planner. Additionally, according to trueboss and some anecdotal evidence, Eagle is broken in High Funds, so that sort of time bonus should not apply to him in that mode specifically.
I think he could've capped the harbor before going for the airport. If he could lock all the non-infantry to the right half and keep them there long enough to get copters out, then he could slowly cap the left side with recons blocking cities.
Ah yes, fitting music for Sensei at the start, since it is from "Boomer" Kuwanger. Real banger, though; anyone who doesn't know should listen to the soundtrack of Mega Man X. There's no misses there. EDIT: I guess you're getting said soundtrack in this video, so enjoy!
Tell Grimm Guy to stop living his life raising his family and business to anonymously let us live vicariously through his vicious art of war via the advance wars wars deal.
I don't think your odds of taking the North airport was that great, but I think you could have taken the base and been in contention to win without a turn limit. Maybe 1 bomber plus several battle coptors would be better than bomber spam? Would it be possible on turn 12 to start a formation with the Megatank on your base with 3 rockets just south of it and a tank east of it? Or maybe instead of the Medium Tank, make a rocket to send to the forest and then build a Neotank there? Also, not related to this map, but don't underestimate Nell Mechs in fog of war. They're slow and vulnerable to be taking out on the first strike, but if they strike first even on minimum rolls they deliver value. In contrast an unlucky infantry roll might mean a unit you really need to deliver chip damage doesn't do. If you watch a replay and notice a tank just sitting in a spot, a Mech probably could have done the same thing since they are just slow tanks. The "slow" part is why Mechs are generally not spammed since they often won't get the first strike without fog, unless your opponent is suicidally advancing their units into range of your base. Can we see more Re-Boot camp replays? I want to see some tower-less playthroughs.
And he lost....even though his opponent was a total noob and did not even have access to battle copters. Now imagine a map WITH an (early or mid game) airport. He would have dominated even harder.
@@lexi1337-r6s He was not a noob, he was a high level player, mangs shows in the start. He wins without the airport so clearly he didn't NEED it lol also, this is live play, there's gonna be blunders, dude.
Ooh, Megaman X music, neat. Getting someone to time out in chess is viable, but I think it's a little harder in Advance Wars. The Sensei player was undoubtedly paying attention to his timer, and was probably ready to click End Turn whenever it started getting too low, even if he hadn't moved everything yet.
The only 2 good things about Days of Ruin's story: 1. Actually killing the villain instead of the standard "Killing will make you just as bad!" 2. No Andy
So that thing on Sensei’s belly is a Reserve Parachute. Basically a backup Parachute for if his Main Parachute Fails to Deploy or is Damaged during his freefall or descent.
Nell is T1 in Live League (and Quack Cup) and other manually created games but Mangs say she's T2 after several testing with grandmaster ? What ? Did the testing have very unlucky hit or overkill / useless luck ?
Man! That was So Chaotic! I do love watching matches involving Sensei being broken, even with no B-copters and being live match. -Sensei mirror match on high funds with no unit cap when-

We want more Grimm Guy, don’t we comment section?
Nuh uh
Yes
All in favor Say “Grim”
Grimm
I want more Advance Wars content in general, not just one Advance Wars player.
Especially live matches.
Glad to see the "take all engagements then finish capturing the comm tower" is a universal AWBW experience
It’s gentlemanly to attack before finish capping the comm tower 😅
Been there, done that. Like you go last turn and start capping, then you just forget next turn to finish until you took multiple engagements.
> 164k vs 292k unit value and 20k down in income at the end of Mangs's turn
"I could have totally come back from this!"
Haven't watched the video yet, but the matchup definitely seems lopsided. The only hope I can see for Nell is if Sensei runs out of time walking all his infantry.

Past Mangs- Sometimes i get a W by stalling the clock and getting a time out.
Future Mangs- i must have been coping since i didn't resign
The use of the Reboot Camp art is awesome.
These Live matches are extremely fun to watch.
I hope you continue the AW content like you are.
That's not a backpack, it's a giant Sensei parachute.
Megaman X music!?! The taste!!
I'd love to watch you play megaman for any reason just sayin...
Chill Penguin at the beginning threw me for a huge "did I click the right video?" loop lol
@@dippn7047 That was boomer kuwanger theme.
@@zhaoyun255 right you are!
Yes! I heard the beginning and my lizard brain went wild! Love the MMX music!
Ooh I clicked on a video and hear Megaman X music, I’m hyped
Yeah Boomer Kuwanger has a good stage theme

I was thinking the same and as far as I can tell they weren't banned
Stealths are always banned on high funds
They are always banned on high funds. They are never were allowed.
@@mininini1451 @monsterchief117 Ah that makes more sense, thanks guys. I haven't played HF before
to me it looked very bleak early on with how many properties he had captured and the sheer number of units, tough match-up.
Kudos for Megaman X soundtrack, that whole OST is a banger
the megaman soundtrack 🔥🔥🔥
3:53 yo...this song is really good
Mangs: uses megaman X music in his video. Me: "Ah, i see you're a man of culture as well."
At the end of the video I wasn't listening Mangs anymore, I was jamming.
were Stealths Banned? there would've been no way for him to damage them
yes they were banned
Always have been,
I love watching 100 infantry move in live games very entertaining
Can it be considered a BACKpack if he carries it on the FRONT of his body?
Fupack
Frontpack lets go-
He beat you even without an airport.
I think the megatank dying for nothing on day 14 was the biggest swing in the game
This is gonna be chaos i can already tell
Sensei: "Nell! Got to the chopper..."
Nell: "Which?"
Love the Megaman X soundtrack.
The infantry sat on the central island watching the carnage. Feel bad for the little guy 😅
I was hearing something for while in the video...Boomer Kwanger's stage theme, Spark Mandril's, Storm Eagle's.... Mangs you will be always a MOC: Man Of Culture.
Great choice of music on this one egg! Though there were times I was too busy grooving to pay attention to the commentary.
He should’ve captured the airport faster considering how good the battle copters are
The scariest part of Sensei is his free infantry wiping out all yours.
Nah, it still wouldn't work. He would have kept up the pressure from that port along with his powers. 😢 I would move the battleship off the port and built another, haha.
Megan Man X music to start the video?!? LOVE the choice of music Mangs ❤️

Nice i havnt seen a sensi game in ages
I wish there was pre-moving on AWBW or like one button wait. It'd be super useful for live matches.

Yeah Eagle in high funds is broken. He's already really dumb when he gets his SCOP, but in HF that happens far more frequently.
Egg AWBW breakdown! Let’s go!
I think he could've capped the harbor before going for the airport. If he could lock all the non-infantry to the right half and keep them there long enough to get copters out, then he could slowly cap the left side with recons blocking cities.
Short answer: No
Long answer: Nooooooooooooooooooooo
Megaman X musics are Insta-Like for me hueuhauhe
Keep the kino MMX music. Would recommend MMZ and MMBN music as well. They suit this gameplay tbh.
Fun fact. In my last high funds live game I had to resign because I miss clicked and bought a piperunner instead of a neotank
Woooo megaman X music
Ah yes, fitting music for Sensei at the start, since it is from "Boomer" Kuwanger. Real banger, though; anyone who doesn't know should listen to the soundtrack of Mega Man X. There's no misses there.
EDIT: I guess you're getting said soundtrack in this video, so enjoy!
Play Sturm mirror match, it would be very "entertaining"

Doesn't sensei spawn mech in every city but he hit unit cap of 50? Or was the unit cap higher?
Megaman X music let's GO
Edit: Actually it was overpowering your voice a bit, maybe damp it in the sound mixing slightly
That Mega Man X music hits home.

Damn you didn't play this one very well 😬
I can see Sensei being at a disadvantage if his opponent can spam antiairs to wreck copters and infantry. High funds makes this semi-viable
Anyone else jamming to the Boomer Kuwanger music?
Didn't have to watch this video and in fact I still haven't but the answer to this question is: NO.
And he lost....even though his opponent was a total noob and did not even have access to battle copters. Now imagine a map WITH an (early or mid game) airport. He would have dominated even harder.

Can't even beat him when he doesn't have bcopters.
Great match!
IT'S A PARACHUTE MANGS, COME ON! XD
It’s been great having so much content to watch lately, Mangs!

Is this on pc?
Thank you for bringing back belly!
Even if it's obscured
Belly meme must live on!
kinda funny watching sensei build a navy
Mangs nell live match adventure is still continuing strong
🥚
Megaman X music!?!? Megaman x is my favorite 🥹
Ooo Boomer Kuwanger's Tower Music at the start.
Appreciate the MMX1 OST, or rather all early X games
Nell can beat anyone if she's lucky.
It’s funny that there isn’t any aw1+2 tournaments
Because the shitty online of that game, they did amazingly with the art, music and good with grafics, but the online is just bad
There's no timers and easy way to play competitive unless it's all in person.
We need more Megaman X music in the streams
By the end I was screaming. The winner snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, how did this get bungled so badly by the end....
Based underdog
Very tricky!!
I like how surprised Mangs sounds at 13:30 and on. Like how well his turn went is a new fun thing he's seeing for the first time.
I don't know. High-funds is kind of boring compared to normal. That being said, I'm just glad for more AW content!
