Advance Wars Black Hole Rising Andy's Anthem (Extended)

Next tis Andy! This was kinda delayed because I was uploading something else prior (It's 14 hours and 48 minutes long!). So while it's STILL processing, I'll just upload more tunes.
Andy is a pretty useful, all-around character. No real weaknesses and can recover his units health with his awesome CO Powers. Not only that, but it's also pretty cheap! Only 6 stars! In addition, his anthem is pretty dang good! It's upbeat and helps you get rollin' to defeat your enemies! Overall, I like Andy quite a bit. Good personality, CO Power, anthem, and such. Awesome!
Image/Music not made by me, only extended.

[@randomguy-tg7ok]

Ironically, Andy has one of the best air forces in the game due to being able to repair planes without needing to use an airport.

Wtf is wrong with your ears? 😂 This series basically raised me, so all I need is a glance at the playlist to recall how rubbish it is. Dual Strike, and now we're talking - menu theme, Rachel's theme, Jess's theme, Tag Power, Flower Power - that last one had me sitting in the Sound Room for days, it felt like. Get some taste. 🎵🎶

[@SwitchZetto]

Speeddemon105 It wasn't my intention, sorry. I take back what i said.

[@Speeddemon105]

+Switch Oh it's cool. Actually speaking from experience, I think most aspergians, myself included, tend to focus their knowledge and skills on their interests. Other stuff kinda goes in one ear and out the other, not gonna lie with me. That in mind, I'm pretty sure Andy is more focused on vehicles and bases if he does have that kind of condition.

[@MrAfton1991]

BiancaShiro One hell of an anthem I will add

[@ikagura]

What makes his theme to be an anthem instead?

[@SoldierOfFate]

For those wondering why he has an anthem instead of a theme, the answer is in his bio from Dual Strike. He was honored as a hero for saving both Cosmo and Macro Land during the events of the first two games (and likely, received the Wars World's equivalent of the Medal of Honor for his gallantry).

[@dragonfable66]

+MrZsc pretty much. that and hi COP and SCOPs are one of the only ones that can heal.. especially the scop because a free 5hp repair to ALL on field units + the attack boost can easily turn the tides if used right

[@MsZsc]

hawke?

[@MarioMastar]

Hawke heals 2 HP yeah, but good luck getting 9 Stars regularly enough to make it worth it. Sure he damages all units too, but Drake and Olaf do so for less and mess up the terrian/your fuel. For 6 stars, healing 5 hp, getting an attack boost and movement boost is HUGE. But in fairness, Hawke does have a slight attack boost for all units for free. His weakness is you'll rarely use his CO power.

[@civicdoublej21]

Great theme for a CO who's weakness is not having a weakness

[@TheBreakingBenny]

He probably doesn't need them, so he asks you what airports are as a joke.

[@Eboreg2]

I liked to use Andy quite a bit since I was in love with his CO Power. Healing a unit on the frontline without having to waste precious time on taking it back to a city that you've already captured is a lot more useful than you might think. Especially when Drake is swanning about.

[@Gamerguy826]

The horrible memories of fighting clone Drake's battleships in Dual Strike... *shudder*

[@dragonfable66]

Do note. The hp repairs from his COP and SCOP are FREE vs having a unit repair at a property

[@clownplayer7265]

Indeed. Andy is a great counter against Olaf, Drake and Hawke. The only bad thing is that you'd need to wait until they pop their powers before you do.

This game Is $#@%ing awesome its a shame that genre of games don't get the same popularity unless you stamp Final Fantasy on to the box. But as a Turn Base Strategy Game it had some of the most memorable Characters and Music that iv'e Seen in a game and for such a large roster of characters base on turn combat that is quite a feat. When you hit that Co. Power $#!% got real.

[@MarioMastar]

Yeah! That's exactly how I feel! I've only played a bit of Advanced Wars, but I keep thinking, "Gosh, if modern war games were more like this, I might actually LIKE CoD." Nintendo is probably the only company to make even war games fun (also with the Battalion Wars series, which also is cartoony and fun). Sucks what they did to Days of Ruin, but Advanced Wars is definitely one of their Masterpieces!

The only way I would imagine Andy healing foot soldiers is by giving the wounded ones automail, like in Fullmetal Alchemist.

[@Gamerguy826]

That's a pretty likely take considering that Orange Star (which is based on the USA) is pretty much the most technologically advanced Nation in Cosmo and Macro Land second only to Black Hole. I personally thought of Black Hole's Infantry as being just generic evil robots off screen. It makes sense considering Black Hole represents advanced technology run amok with no morality.

[@bobdole27]

@@Gamerguy826 I remember reading a theory that they were are aliens which is why the infantry and Sturm have to were helmets, since they are in a foreign environment

[@psychopianist630]

What if they're all robots? That would explain a lot, such as how Andy can "repair" them, how they can literally be produced in factories, and how the foot soldiers explode when they're defeated like every other unit.

[@ceciifm]

@@psychopianist630 I like this take. The soldiers being robots would also make the games less cruel regarding war ethics. People often criticize AW for having an overly light tone while treating the infantry like disposable lol.

[@Felipe1954AC]

This game was a masterpiece. Some criticized that it didn't change significantly from Advance Wars 1, but I think it was so good that it didn't need to change that much. What I do regret is the course the series followed. New landscapes and countries should have been added. Scenarios with jungle, desert, steppe, forested mountains, high mountains, ice fields, towns, etc. At the same time, include armies of new nations that evoke countries such as India, China, France, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Nigeria, Korea, Vietnam, Egypt, Turkey and Mexico. Each with 1 or 2 commanders (The most powerful countries with 2, and the least strong with 1). A day and night mode could also have been included. And create special units for some nations. Finally, I think that putting Black Hole as the enemy again (in AW3) was repetitive, they should have created a totally new situation, with a new imperialist power, with new motivations, and that perhaps Black Hole would join in at the end of the story.
