Armored Core 2 Another Age vs Nineball Seraph

Successor to Griever in Another Age; AC Dreadnaught practicing vs 9-ball Seraph XD.

[@hakageryu307]

The VIrgin "I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella" vs The CHAD "Target Verified. Commencing Hostilities."

God I hope he's back in AC6

[@FLY1NF1SH]

Hearing the theme alone gives me flashbacks man

[@Dracodeus]

@@RetroNutcase Nine Ball so hard core it broke it's way into Another Century Episode R as a boss

[@richardsavings6690]

​@@DracodeusUnfortunately it's in Japanese, so I can't tell if it says "the thing".

[@neogranzong]

@@richardsavings6690 He probably doesn't since in ACE:R it has a human pilot iirc

[@5point0david]

This game was my first encounter with this boss lol. Never forgot it, because it can literally kill you in under 10 seconds

[@heardofrvb]

It's even extra creepy that it used the old voice line from Master of Arena.

[@klortikterra4423]

and the same theme... no new remix, but just the original 9

[@adalagarzi5495]

Nineball. So badass, he got his own theme.

[@clostridiumtetani9947]

They. After the events of Arena they seemed to have merged the Lana and Hustler personas (Notice how their voice is androgynous instead of a male/ female one at a time or speaking in unison) so it's a they.

[@ethanspaziani1070]

So damn true

[@historian252]

No now we call it the machine it.

[@bloodedge1528]

Just the sight of Nine Ball Seraph in general is all it takes to strike fear in the most legendary Ravens.

[@touchgrasspeep]

Well damn! U truly r an impressive blader, even more so than I am! I remember trying to face this guy in AA with just a blade. My God, it was a F***ING NIGHTMARE, every time I tried blading him Seraph would just blade back instantly and I'd die even before I managed to kill him with my own blade.

[@youngmasterDX]

Ikr! His moonlight damage is AC1 level....the blade beams do damage in the thousands @-@ I still need much practice to take him on with blades weaker than the moonlight...

[@zeroxiiimk2]

His blade does 3k damage so broken

[@Nomadic_Gaming]

AA was an amazin game and the hidden fights vs stinger phantasma and seraph were great nods to the original games sucks it took till i think nine breaker or was it nexus for us to get stingers parts and never got seraph parts.

[@youngmasterDX]

Wish they kept the original formula with more parts. NX-LR had the parts but a different focus for gameplay all prior ac’s 1-sl were more forgiving and fun.

[@NineBreakerUIXB]

You want Seraph parts? YOU CAN'T HANDLE SERAPH PARTS! ....Except in AC4 where everyone kinda got them and that was just a big dumpster fire

[@ethanspaziani1070]

@@youngmasterDX yeah I really wish they had kept on the same path they had something real special going

[@ethanspaziani1070]

Yeah correct armored core Nexus is whenever stinger was finally acquirable as the vixen parts made by mirage My ultimate goal on my channel eventually God knows when is to come up with mods so that everyone can play and use NPC parts and weapons and import them over all into one copy of the game all the PS2 titles at least so currently I have a proof of concept mod on my channel that just shows that these things are indeed possible as for being able to play as an NPC and using those kind of parts and weapons in the garage currently the prototype AC from armored Nexus that shows up in a few missions is playable the one with the hover legs which are bioped with the pulse rifle arms although it doesn't quite work 100% right the pulse rifle arms are now just Cannon arms but the legs and everything else works just fine currently the mod also imports in a bunch of weapons and stuff from silent line like the stealth optional part extensions which were taken out of Nexus and a various other weapons which were rebalanced it's interesting to be able to directly compare them but I suck at programming and I didn't make it myself until I can find someone who's willing to help out with this project it will stay as is or until I acquire a large enough amount of money to pay someone but right now it's still pretty fun to play and use got a whole entire set of videos dedicated to it that show it off even including stuff from the demo but rest assured I won't stop not until I have completed my dream and everyone else's

[@Nomadic_Gaming]

@@ethanspaziani1070 stinger parts from AA would be busted lol his core scatter shot and that busted rifle would be ridiculous same w seraphs arms as both en wep for range and the uber moonlights he had his back unit would just be a heavy duty missle launcher that somehow gave u ridiculous boost phantasm idk if his parts would be possible given hes just s giant MT but i guess his weps could be modded onto other weps and replace the effects and stats and theyd just be on a frame youd build w them

[@ProTroll69]

My GOD did this bring back memories… You got some balls trying to blade that thing. It took me foreverrrrr to kill this thing… So many builds… Thank you for uploading this ♥️

[@gman5264]

What if the lost field is a testing ground for the government to test and play around with all the advanced and dangerous technology they've "Found" throughout the years. Stingers AC Project phantasm Nineball? Seems Sus.

[@ktms8844]

I just put two grenade launchers on the back of a tank and called it a day. You're an animal for being able to blade this guy

[@NineBreakerUIXB]

I know the thought of not exploiting the busted AI with routine moves is hard....And this fight was always kind of a let down if you play that way, but if you approach it the way arena opponents do you...(basically all the stylish shit) it's a pretty epic fight

[@pyr666]

I suspect exploiting the AI is the intended solution. there are other enemies in the game that are smarter than seraph, and within the story this thing is an AI.

[@NineBreakerUIXB]

@@pyr666 It's a fair point and you might be right, but given the games disposition towards difficulty and that he is AA's end game superboss I tend to doubt that's the case. It may have been an AI but it wasn't a stupid one. It trashed all other pilots for years, ran the Raven's Nest itself and orchestrated the wars between corporations. Plus the reward for beating it is just a heap of cash and maybe a forgettable part which by that point in the game you have no need for so it's really just bragging rights as the reward. And if you cheesed it you can't really brag all that much, that'd be like bigging yourself up for beating Penance in FFX with Zanmato lol. So I think it was just an oversight by the devs rather than some meta design choice

[@pyr666]

@@NineBreakerUIXB you're confusing lost field with the controller. 3 is its own timeline

[@NineBreakerUIXB]

@@pyr666 I'm not lol. It's Nine Ball Seraph, I listed things that he did in the PS1 games. Although some do theorise that The Controller was Nine Ball due to how similar they are

[@darnellm743]

9ner turned into a jet then changed back when he was ready.. Nice, I remember thinking after I beat him that I would gain the parts to transform... nope.. smh

[@THEGRUMPTRUCK]

I didn't even know about Human Plus when I first played this. Took almost a year to grind through all of AC2AA but I even beat this fight without Human Plus. It fucking SUCKED.

[@youngmasterDX]

No H+ isn't too bad but H+ makes things more fun because of the shenanigans you can do with the builds at your disposal espescially abusing mobile back weaponry XD.

[@NineBreakerUIXB]

I love how Seraph is just a complete phantom the whole time and you're just like yup, no paint job, basic rope-a-dope tactics....Never heard of style points, man? Lol

[@JBrannigan13]

[@lionyleftwich4418]

I freaking LOVED Armored Core!Where tf did it go and why they not making them????????????

[@youngmasterDX]

They announced AC6 coming this year after 10years of no AC so it's coming back. They've been busy making money off the souls franchise so AC got put on the back-burner.

[@Guardian-of-Light137]

​@@youngmasterDX Hey just means they had plenty of time to think of ideas for the game. ... At least I PRAY they got ideas and aren't just rushing something out. I wanna believe it'll be good but we've been let down by even the best of game companies lately. So I've learned to be skeptically optimistic.

[@lionyleftwich4418]

​@@Guardian-of-Light137 my only concern is they don't change the game controls like every game these days that goes trying to break something that don't need to be fixed.New techniques to do with the controls you already have means it's new and more exciting video game.This game also never got old.Add a new story line and more new enemies and that's brand new fun Armored Core game to play right there just by doing that

How You Can Shoot the Grenade Launcher Back?

[@youngmasterDX]

Human Plus enhancements, you get them in AC2 then load your savefile into Another Age.

[@chiefbawor_thegr8966]

Hiw do you get the Human+ in AC2?

[@youngmasterDX]

Lose the game until you have -50k credits a total of 6 times to get all the Human Plus abilities in AC2. To get it on Another Age you have to load a savefile from AC2 with all Human Plus abilities unlocked.
