If you do a big tournament, you should have players submit the AC Data of the mech they want to compete with. That way people can see their builds with full specs before a match to bet on who they think will win or look them up during/after a match if they're curious about what a player is doing.

[@lupvirga]

the whole point of AC's is they're customizable and can be edited before each match. many players have multipul AC's they play around with with different builds so this doesn't work.

[@elleeVee]

@@FlickTakFlakAttack he wasn't moving nearly as well as you could have

[@clorkmagnus]

Most of them don’t even utilize assault boost properly. And most people don’t use shield which completely neutralize mini gun dmg. You can beat the mini gun tank combo by simply flying up super high using assault boost with hovering build and shit them from above, mini gun has massive dmg drop off from far away it literally just gonna be pebble. Tanks clean move very fast horizontally but not vertically. Or move far away from the mini gun range and charge your attack and move in and out with fast moving weapons with charge attacks. For melee build you need to build tanky with a shield, get up their faces while dodging rockets and slash them up and shield up again or assault boost away. The bad mechs are the hybrid ones with melee and guns without a shield. They are useful for PVE but PvP it’s kinda of a handicap since you fall short to people that build in one direction.

[@arcanealchemist3190]

yeah tank builds are pretty OP in pvp. the people trying to cope bringing up counters are full of shit. firstly, you dont get to know what youre going up against to counter. so if you go in with a build not designed to counter tanks, youre just fucked. especially on maps that limit your height or provide cover for avoiding range. and if youre a close range build, fucked regardless. and then tanks dont have to stop moving to use heavy weapons. which just breaks the balance and flow of PVP incredibly, because they can output match-ending damage with very little risk. asmongold is not playing even close to competitively, often standing literally completely still, and still destroying people in 1v1s. if that isnt example enough of how broken tank builds are, youre just disconnected from reality.

[@nimck6642]

Dude I’ve played armored core since AC 2. One thing I noticed is that these players aren’t hopping and drifting nearly as much as they should. They’re mostly just straight boosting on the ground making themselves easy targets. You gotta be nimble with it man. Up down up down quick turns, don’t be an easy target.

[@adventofknowledge]

In case anyone is wondering at 26:00 onwards that big red laser comes from the Coral Rifle you can unlock doing The Analysis Arena match D-2 (delta). Its a reward for completing it. You can fire it like a normal laser rifle but its just slower and heats up faster HOWEVER you can charge it up for a blast shot which takes 3 seconds or a stream of damage if you charge it for 5 seconds. The stream is disgustingly strong. I've nuked AC's in 1 go with stun needle + coral rifle beam. So ideally, they've already taken some ACS strain, then you use stun needles to stun them. All the while you've been holding Charge at full on your Coral Rifle, so when they're ACS strained you can unleash the beam of doom on them, ideally. It lasts for about 3-4 seconds and is a constant stream and you can aim it after firing but its a little slow. Really fucking fun gun honestly. Only available in NG++ though and you need to pick the ALLMIND story in your 3rd playthrough to unlock the final 3 analysis arenas. Which means you need to do both the "good" and "Bad" ending first, then you'll have new mission options in NG++, example; Instead of destroy the strider you'll get an option to escort it. Instead of dealing with the stealth mechs, you'll have the option to destroy a PCA raid on the place, when you meet sualla there will be "Extras" and on and on. So you just follow the missions you've not done before bassically so dont skip dialogue in NG++ so you know you're on the right path. for completing it.

Some players think missiles are overpowered.... But they are kinda the counter to slow tanky targets. The wheelchair, lights or mediums will rarely get tagged by missiles if ever as long they boost properly. Heavy/quad ACs and tanks are kinda expected to eat it as they are the slow tanky ones.

[@omaracbabazer9112]

@@_Jay_Maker_how though? From what I’m seeing there’s just so many benefits from doing a tank build and little to no incentives on speed build.

[@spartantnt1023]

@@omaracbabazer9112 Simple, players need to stop slowing their AC down with extraneous heavy weapons. There is NO point in using a light AC if you're just going to use the same weapon loadout as a heavy frame. That goes for many of the medium weight ACs too. You're basically just running a heavy AC with 6k+ AP deficit at that point... the marginal movement advantage at that point isn't significant enough to warrant it. The tank builds people are also playing well, and terribly into. Tanks excel on the ground, and in your face. However, you'll notice roughly 75% of the medium weight frames in this game play for CQB, and get cooked by tanks. Why? Because Tanks excel at that range and in that scenario. Trying to melee headlong into duel Songbirds is suicidal, and complete user error. That being said, you might gather from this... many of these players are big dumb, and not super good as a result.

[@Invictus1293]

@@omaracbabazer9112I watched a guy who play speed and you could barely keep up with him on your screen boosting around. GL hitting him with the cannons. I feel like what the guy above said is correct, you have to max out speed and run the right engine setup to recharge mad fast. A lot of the medium bipedal builds sit still too long to use the heavy weapons while the tank doesn’t have to pause at all to shoot.

[@omaracbabazer9112]

@@spartantnt1023 yeah. Most maps are small too so tanks can get on your face fast. I do remember playing with AC back in PS1 and getting stomped by speedy acs in campaign. I do like how the speedy acs look so I hope they are viable if this game gets a tournament in the future.

@@MD-DOOM Certain generators benefit from running your entire energy to zero which is better for infinite flight and range builds. The tank can't assault boost to close the gap and the mini guns start ricocheting off the armor past a certain distance which is how you nullify its damage.

[@breebree9797]

I fucking love this game so far I just wish PvP maps were bigger. The single player campaign has gorgeous level design and robust verticality - some of the best ever for FromSoft quite honestly Multiplayer unfortunately condenses it into more of a boxing ring I feel. Not that it isn’t still fun, but more geographical peaks and valleys would be truly amazing. The space being so enclosed means a heavy weight will always be able to gun down a light build instantly in a DPS rush and since it’s already pretty agile as it, it can reasonably keep up with a bipedal in this much ground. If they extend boundaries or even pull fuller mission maps straight into arena this would add another dimension to the gameplay. I think it’d give more tactics to hide and seek, patience, dogfight escapades etc etc I have other PvP issues veterans have better addressed, but I hope FromSoft makes some big patches because the potential in this multiplayer is there
