SUPREME COMMANDER EPIC #62 - Average Joes - Custom 5v5 on Pyramid

[@TheMadSentinel]

I want to sincerely thank everyone for your positive comments regarding my gameplay this go 'round. This was, I think, my second or third game, ever, versus live opponents. That said, I have quite literally over two decades of unfortunate habits learned from skirmishing against the AI, all the way back to the original Total Annihilation, through all the iterations of SupCom (and yes, the less said about SC2, the better). I've been following BRNK's Twitch channel (in part because of his highly enjoyable dedication to SupCom) for over a year and finally acquired a CPU up to the task of joining in the FAF insanity. The Discord chat on this match was indeed... lively :D ... but I received a lot of quality coaching from my teammates throughout the match, and that contributed greatly to my ability to make BRNK and Triaxx work hard for their well-earned victory. I hope to provide similar or greater entertainment going forward.

[@austinstoner6270]

Great job my friend. Loved watching you guys!!

[@ballsmcgee53]

That was incredible! Great job!

[@Gh0st652]

What a legend. Look forward to seeing you in more games.

[@grizzlyadams263]

Legend indeed! Well played sir!

you prolly dont care but if you're stoned like me atm then you can stream pretty much all of the latest movies on instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my gf for the last couple of weeks xD

[@BRNKoINSANITY]

Couple notes about this game - The balance is so low because we had...3? maybe 4 low game count low rank people. The number was super wrong xD. Second note, poor choices were made. Admitting that up front. It was a hell of a fun game though, we were all slowly dying laughing in chat.

[@GyleCast]

It was a great game man, did you stream it/cast it?

[@Jeff55369]

I'm not sure if I've ever watched any of your games where you guys weren't dying of laughter. :D

[@lz1094]

best game of faf this year!

[@Jeff55369]

@@lz1094 I don't know. Brink had another one that I'd really like to see Gyle cast. It was unbalanced in the other team's favor and brink's team pulled out the win in style. This one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iovVp6uXqLFjpNE

[@BRNKoINSANITY]

@@GyleCast Yeah, it was on Twitch, and it will be posted to youtube in a day or so from my POV.

"Game quality is at 76%, that is pretty appalling balance, it's about as balanced as Germany VS Poland circa 1939" As a Pole, I found that hilarious. Keep up the good work Gyle.

it was pretty balanced until third player showed up :P

The parade of Mech Marines at 1:14:46 had me in tears from laughing.

You actually did it.... we were laughing about you casting the game during the stream... and you actually did it xD Thank god you did... cause that was one game of a lifetime to watch and play.

[@Regal_Eagle]

You can thanks me for sending the link to Gyle, honestly I wasn't sure if he was gonna cast it either xD But the madlad did it

[@opiewpg180]

Gyle, I have been watching a lot of your casts as of recent on youtube. This was by far the most comical cast you have done man.

[@speedie3812]

Brnk & Gyle, best anime crossover of all time.

[@viceroy___]

I discovered BRNK by watching his creeper world videos, and then I saw him on the ladder of FAF and then I discovered his FAF videos. It is like the dude is everywhere I look!

Absolutely love those community matches! Thank you so much for providing the commentary and stream!

[@Arhurt]

For what it's worth I like the zoom-ins and I think you strike a great balance between technical/strategy and theme/awesomeness descriptions and focus.

[@grndiesel]

Suddenly all the Epics we saw so far just don't seems o Epic anymore. You're going to need a new word to describe games like this. What a match!

[@Mr_Rowey]

Ofc I get casted on the time frame of one of my stupid renamed xD FloodedLava xD

for you ant problem: get some mint, lavender etc. pottet plants are enough usually. there are several plants you can use to keep ants away.

[@Wafflemarine22]

This was such a fun match to watch. This has always been my favorite RTS game. So glad people are keeping the game alive.

[@flanagon360]

I love by how the end it had gone back to the beginning, virtually no base and T1 galore! ridiculous match

[@fizzlethorpebristlebane914]

Another great cast Gyle, thanks for all you do. As for the zooming in and out, Don't change a thing! Keep doing what you are doing! Moar!

[@sebthompson7871]

completely right about the skill level going up in the last year or two. I was a 1200-1300 player for ages. Now I am staying steady in the 900's. You come up against a 1200 now and the skill level is significantly higher, let alone a 2000 player who will just own all on the battlefield.

[@SangheiliSpecOp]

I was at a store looking at old dvds when I saw the notification for this video. The thumbnail made laugh out loud

[@kotzebrecher]

I watched the second half of this live. It was such a unique game. And I learned an important lesson that day: If you have a problem that is not solved by throwing donuts at it, throw even more donuts at it until it is solved! Truly a game for the history books.

[@sjs9698]

also works for asf issues- put a half-dozen or so donuts together they form a mighty amount of aoe-aa dmg that can murk pretty much any number of asf if they try to take a pass. (worke da few patches back anyway, not sure with new donut?)

[@Mr_Rowey]

Also to comment on my faction choice (FloodedLava). I tend to pick cybran due to the Advantage ASF have the stealth along with the brutal stealth strats as you can see in this game when I was starting brnk it looked random but what I was trying to do is use the cybran AoE of the bom to ground fire between 2 mex to try and get 2 mex at a time instead if 1 .

[@beetheimmortal]

It's always a good day for more SupCom, and Gyle!

[@darkpatriot94]

Oh that was amazing. The shot that took out Glyph were almost like the FA intro.

[@generalrendar7290]

Brink must be suffering from severe back pain from the carrying he had to do the whole game. Tirax went missing for at least 30 minutes as far as map presence and then went full communist army at the end. Excellent double snipes from glob and brink really.

[@bojangley_dangles]

I don't mind the zooming in, in fact I quite enjoy it for the bigger battles. Your doing a great job Gyle!

[@chickenhunt5163]

This whas one of THE best epics I have seen!

[@JadenDaJedi]

The clickbait saga continues. I, for one, am excited to see how this story progresses.

[@SangheiliSpecOp]

[@bobbinsgaming3028]

I thought I couldn't enjoy your videos any more and then you referenced my favourite scene from Father Ted...

[@MrPinkDino]

wow... just wow. the most insane and intense game I've ever seen. there was almost everything what everyone always wanted to see

[@exaltavista]

@Gyle - There is a mod called Reclaim View for FAF that shows you the total mass value on your screen. In addition you can use it to see the mass value of an alive unit as well.

[@itsdolph1n109]

Amazing game! Well played to all, hats of the Brink though!

[@dlscorp]

awesome cast Gyle. I caught the original stream and it was great to see this game cast with all the alternative cinematic camera angles, highlighting the huge variety of engagements and showcasing the units. The game is so much prettier than a bunch of icons viewed from space and you make it feel more like live war reporting from the future +++++++ so many people :O getting whooshed by the ironic :D use of emoji :P

This game was awesome! Thank you for making these!

[@jameswilkinson9964]

I can't believe you managed to make a 'budget day' joke! Bravo

[@alexioskomnenos5290]

This is such a sad game because you can see that if the losing team built one or two less arty, and instead built quantum gateway w/ assist + ras supcom spam + scattered sam defense, it was clearly their game to win! I don't blame the 200 for not doing it, but the other guy should have for sure.

[@austinstoner6270]

Great cast as always my friend!

[@BossKronk]

Never apologise! Your cast is always great.

[@Liberty_Prime_Is_Online]

That was an awesome game, 5 x Zeus attack was hilarious 🤣🤣

[@viceroy___]

T1 spam is always useful for keeping enemy MEX expansions and reclaims down. They just had to add in some T3 arty/aa in to really give value to those T1 standoffs.

[@seanlemeow7277]

Gyle great cast. Hope to see more coming. How come there are so few with you in them? Hope to see some more pro vs joe games. those games with blackheart and such were so much fun to watch. Have a good one.

[@pabstxp]

Can I build multiple orders on more than one sACU at once? Or do I HAVE to build on one at the time?

[@Shenaldrac]

Huh, didn't know FAF had added t3 mobile AA. Might play a couple games sometime. And I like what I see of the changed Scathis, looks like a big range buff and an interesting firing cycle.

[@josephkoppenhout6034]

One thing you do pick up on at like 26:00 is that people are getting better at the game. Like the requirements to be a mid or high range player are much steeper.

[@totallynotadolf5465]

this is definitely one of the more intense joe matches

[@SirSamVimesSA]

Just adding my two cents, I like the occasional zooms.

[@soldierforchrist631]

Played this game once last year, however I've been watching Gyle's casts for the last year and a half now. Support ACUs are overpowered and need readjustment.

[@MrTripcore]

The zoom is fine for iPhone. Everything else is fine. Keep up the good work

[@ares6294]

Are these games modded? Like i don't get under water reclaim and i don't have some of the maps Gyle has observed. If so what are the mods and where can i find them? PS only started playing this year

[@gotomar5]

its been some time since i played this but I think it come stock with Forged Alliance Forever.

[@johannesschiele1513]

In the basic games available on Steam it is like you tell it. If you download and install Forged Alliance Forever the game changes a little bit. For example the reclaim in water is now in it which makes sense. Furthermore a few years ago the possibility was included to have a factory headquarter which allows you to upgrade other factories faster and with less ressources and directly build t2 and t3 factories aswell. T3 ground mobile antiair, Support Commander presets, map vault with hundreds of maps coop campaign and missions...lot of things to see ;)
