This guy's history could easily be an in-universe pilot backstory: a veteran pilot from the earliest of gens, sticking to his tried-and-true core design in the face of a constantly changing battlefield.

[@realArisawaHeavyInd]

This is my favourite comment, ty my friend, 10.5/10

[@laind.7287]

taka lol

[@rreckinreturns]

I'm just going to come right out and say it: for the fact that he has stuck with this same build philosophy for ages, and found a way to defy his bad matchups, this is easily my favorite guest in the series so far. Bravo!

[@billythenarwhal1579]

@rreckinreturns I mean they ruined the balance of tanks by eliminating turn speed in 6, tanks vs lw biped used to be great skill tests, now if you're a lw biped n you run into a tank you might as well just stand still so you can lose faster n move on.

[@mediocremason]

I have personal beef with Taka because I got into a game with them like 4 time in a row. When I just reached S Rank and I've been seething ever since. Love that guy.

[@JD_Volt]

Inflated point loss must’ve gone crazy. I’ve had a similar experience against a guy called “the gatekeeper”.

[@StegDarkhorse]

Unless someone else is running that "Quitters are worse than losers" decal, I've gotten my butt kicked by Takafumi in some custom lobbies. It's cool how easily you can run into players like this without really realizing it.

[@FrotonGaming]

I've been wondering about this tank player. He's literally made the saying "If we could just hit the target, we won't lose." into reality. Truly Epic. Possibly the best episode so far. The Takigawa Shuffle? So that's why all the high level players move in that zig zag pattern while they AB. I'll have to try it out myself.

[@richardjohnson8991]

I really love when players figure out how to "scam" the game engine. I've literally never seen a tank fly around at speeds like that and I've got some new tech to practice now. After the Borne nerfs I wasn't sure how I was feeling about continuing with super heavy tank builds or switching to the heavy quad legs but this tech gives me new hope

[@Sabbathfaax]

Happy to see some AC vets still kicking at top level. Also that JC build transition was so clean

[@blacktuesday7427]

[@Gryphus_XA-26483]

Hahaha, I love that everyone has picked up on plasma cannons. I picked them up last month and I have been completely addicted to the things. Arisawa basically covered why. Those Manual aim shots are so satisfying.

[@cosmozone271]

Same, the sheer meltage if they connect is that precious shot of dopamine for me.

[@shareefpeoples5317]

Yep I see its similar to a manual aim earshot build I run

[@Gurmudgin]

Now that, that is some commitment, and I respect that. Also thats absolutely terrifying. A tank you cannot run away from. Dear god.

[@firstername]

GREAT job once again!

[@larrymunn5279]

Working with game engines n being a dev really gives you insights most don't have huh. If you pitched his shuffle technique to me I'd automatically think of a vehicle accelerating under inertia in a turn. The game does "sort of" fake inertia, so I wouldn't have thought in these terms. He didn't need to tell me about those plasma cannons though I can't really fit them on my builds, but when I want a shoulder cannon, that'd be my pick. Just for the shot velocity. This one was a real treat, thank you mobi. Your basically an AC journalist now lol

[@Vospader21]

More then anything this guy proves that skill and experience really is the deciding factor when it comes down to the final battle.

[@GusMortis]

Just watching him do his suffle and playing agro, the name sidewinder popped in my head. We already have a strider style.

[@realArisawaHeavyInd]

This was actually one of the names I was originally considering for solarwind. Spot on

[@blitzy8221]

Great video , my fight with taka in ranked was so cool , he was the only tank player besides myself which I even remember truly using the shuffle in ranked. Not many other great tank players and definitely almost no one as good as him. I only got to S1 in Ranked with my tank due to his video on how to shuffle. He will always be a legend in my heart!

[@MobiGeeksOut]

Wow congratulations!! 🎉

[@blitzy8221]

@@MobiGeeksOut Thanks it was a month ago now. I won a tie breaker S1 vs S1 match vs Omaera the JP tank player. We both ended up matching together with equal points so we were both S1 at the same time. Winning that was such a highlight of ac for me. My tank cosplay build worked out and got me all the way up there. Loving your content! Looking forward to the next one!

[@hyperfixatedd]

As a double melee lightweight, I totally get the thrill of getting good at the game to a point where you can beat a rock while being a scissor Feels really good to defeat those dumbass tank players that barely actually play the game

[@hyperfixatedd]

It's hard, cause if you make literally 1 mistake it's one shot and it's over But it's rewarding too Just a shame that playing against lightweights is inherently more fun and those are still not that common cause people care so much about winning

[@JD_Volt]

@@hyperfixatedd 20B tanks with lag are the worst. I fought a 20B tank in promos yesterday and his lasers were a full AC length away from me and I was still getting hit. Using 20B is essentially admitting: “I don’t care about movement, I don’t care about strategy, I’m just going to tank your shots and blind fire until I hit something.”

[@hyperfixatedd]

@@JD_Volt i completely agree man, it sucks

[@collinmanning8334]

Agrotanks are my favorites to play against. Im a super tanky biped and thats up close only and they make me have to perform unique combos in order to not get two combo KO'd. Honestly, anything thats not a Kite 😂

[@OHKNEECHAN]

this guy makes me want to start from the beginning and build my own AC from the beginning,

[@MobiGeeksOut]

Do it!

[@realArisawaHeavyInd]

I'd actually advocate doing this too - it's super cool to go through each generation of the series and see how the same idea ends up looking and playing in each of them.

[@joewas2225]

Ok I'm finally going to make these & then change it up to make them mine. Finally did. It's a combination of the 2. Kept: Fasan, inner parts, hal core, mind head. Different parts: Ephemera arms, wheelchair tank, dual 760pr.

[@phyrrux2942]

i was lost and i didn't like heavyweights, didn't like midweights and lightweight felt too similar and constant that build is EXACTLY what i was looking for and it's pretty weird knowing i also had quite a history with tank treads

[@tonylollis895]

I like this dudes mentality. Quitters are worse than losers. It's the absolute truth in everything. This guy absolutely has a 6 figure salary and he didn't get it by giving up on his dreams.

[@RastaWayne-di4sj]

I was thinking about making a video series with fictional pilots, how they used and got their AC and how it evolved with them over time. This series is basically that but with IRL people. Pretty nice concept and fun to watch cause you don't steal the show but let the pilot speak.

[@Lilsten63]

Wtf 7am and i watch this on after a break on my 3th run for the true ending and a new pvp build explain the tank master is here omg a fast light tank build how this is possible . The technicality perferct your so fast this is crazy . Actually so many people advice to pre dodge and not dodge what already pointed at you in pvp .. yep a good one indeed .

[@pixlv6384]

15:53 bro i thought my headphones broke

[@RodneyRockwell]

qb stats affect AB strafe? I always thought it was fixed based off of AB stats, I know EN consumption at least is based off of AB EN consumption

[@realArisawaHeavyInd]

AB strafing completely ignores QB reload (as far as I'm aware). It uses QB jet duration unmodified (this is very easy to test, try AB strafing with Buerzel's 0.28 jet vs like NGI with 0.47 or whatever it is - the difference is very clear). The EN cost of an AB strafe is 0.8 * QB EN cost. I'll have to check on thrust values - I know that datamining shows that there's a unique dedicated hidden stat on every booster for AB strafe thrust but I can't remember if it's just set to the same value as QB thrust.

[@RodneyRockwell]

@@realArisawaHeavyInd awesome, thank you! Not sure where I heard that strafe was .5 AB cost, makes me feel less silly for the midweight with Basho core I made way back

[@d0nat136]

I've said that tanks are really low skill ceiling, I'd like to retract that

The existence of lethal dose at high level proves that if I ever learn how to drive tank in this game... kabula might be viable

[@boredmagala5701]

As a lightweight player, this guy scares me

[@NN-ge7gc]

I love AC6 but I play on console and don't have online service money so I've never realized how much of a different game AC6 pvp is. Like all the builds I use in pve gameplay would definitely get stomped in pvp. I want to try pvp so badly because I would love to have more content in my favorite game.

[@mohanrambassit3039]

I've always considered the Trueno the "railcannon" of AC6, and no matter how hard I've tried, I couldnt get away from using it and have won many matches because of it (especially when its 1-1, I'M on Terminal Armor, and that last shot wins me the match lol). After watching this video, I cant run fast enough to try the Fasan

[@realArisawaHeavyInd]

If you like Trueno's range power, it can combo pretty nicely with fasan. If you have weapons in your hands that can gradually build stagger, you can use trueno to finish the stagger from range then punish with fasan for 2k+ dmg. If they dodge the trueno, immediately (literally as fast so you can) fire the fasan to catch them at the end of their qb before they can do another one. I haven't tested this extensively but I really like the way it feels in certain interactions. I think I like soup + fasan better because soup can herd people better than treuno can...but trueno is still my favourite missile. So much kinetic force, and that sound of armor buckling beneath it is just SO satisfying

[@mohanrambassit3039]

@@realArisawaHeavyInd I appreciate you taking the time out to reply to my comment! I I think I'll take your advice and create a build specifically for both Trueno and Fasan. The build I am currently running is a sword and shield midweight bipedal, so I can only run either Fasan or Trueno, and after testing the Fasan out a good bit on A-rank, I think the Trueno is more my style with this build. And you're right, that armor buckling sound is top tier. I didn't realize how much I liked it until I read your comment lol. Thanks again for imparting your wisdom!

[@NicolaeCarpathia420]

I'm more curious as to how Taka uses charged weapons on M+KB, it's extremely hard to do so. Is he using some kind of click to hold macro?

[@realArisawaHeavyInd]

Mouse with 4 buttons. Arm weapons are on the side buttons, FASANs are on m1 and m2. I used to use a toggle macro for holding charges but it caused some weird stuff to happen sometimes that resulted in nasty input delays so now I just hold m1 and m2 to hold the charges. It's not good for my RSI but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ fuck it we ball

[@RamenRook]

Can you shuffle on controller?

[@realArisawaHeavyInd]

Ye. It's harder and not quite as effective, but it's still possible and it still helps.

[@FrostRare]

ULTRAKILL

[@sohnoterra16]

I have to say, as a BVO-style player I hate the plasma splash and bazooka spammers as you make a single mistake and it's game over. I also find it incredibly annoying when players rely on their heavy build to get wins rather than actively fighting (Like the tank spammers that'll just circle while firing). This guy though, he's built WAY different. Just looking at his gameplay, you can see that his skill is immense, and he might actually be scarier on something lighter if he decided to do so. This guy's positioning, how he uses Fasan manual aim regularly, his mastery of shuffling mid-combat... Not gonna lie, if I ran into him knowing his skill I know for a fact that I'm not winning, even if heavy builds got a massive nerf. He just has the skill that literally eclipses the worst aspects of tanks to overcome any opponent, and there's no way I can disrespect that.

[@laind.7287]

Its a shame you guys couldnt get a vid with OMOI

[@petervilla5221]

Its wild to me how i have the exact same opinions about gameplay, aesthetics, and gaming history as this guy, but play a completely different build type. I never really considered tanks as an appealing build type, and this guy only considers tanks as an appealing build type.

[@realArisawaHeavyInd]

That's part of the beauty of AC as a game - the exact same motivations can lead two people to develop two completely different build archetypes because the pilot's personal strengths are a part of the design equation. Disc-Oh and I have like completely polar opposite playstyles and builds, they really could not be more different, but the fundamental motivation is exactly the same for both of us: We both H A T E dying to cqc. He solves this problem by being fast enough to evade it in all situations, I solve it by doing enough burst dmg/impact to overwhelm [almost] anything that tries to cqc me. It's what makes this game so great.

[@FairPlayClubChads]

Cant wait to see everyone copy his build in ranked ,ruining my matches for the next 2 months

[@realArisawaHeavyInd]

You're welcome B)

[@BlackOctoberFox]

It is a shame that this build isn't really playable like this on console. Worse manual aiming, worse camera controls, more requirement to use hardlock etc. What we get is double Nebulas with a 20B generator tanks that literally just sit in their spawn area and try to airburst you to death.

[@realArisawaHeavyInd]

Yeah this is a shame. Controller input is so limiting, promotes gameplay like 20b nebtanks that can be played with ur fking TV unplugged, bleh

[@JD_Volt]

I’ve played it on controller. It’s not as bad as you may think. The trick in my experience is to forget your QB and A buttons and just use stance weapons to stay suspended in the air. It’s legit super fun. Maim is pretty bad though.
