Grimm Guy Brawls His Way To 1400!

[@Zev95]

"Are we really gonna do two Grimm Guy games in a row?" No, you're gonna do like five of them and we'll love it.

[@ElvenNoble]

Stop pulling comments from my head and posting them before I find the video! (Full agreement from me!)

[@baldbro3693]

This

[@adamguthrey6160]

Why stop at five?

[@WalkerSunriseChannel]

Because the world can only handle so much Grimm domination at once

[@abyssaldragon2442]

Here here!

[@OniramKenobi]

Mangs you're blocking that one city with your arm, unforgivable

[@BNavazoS]

I'm a simple man, I see a Grimm game reviewed by Grimm himself, I like the video.

[@MAJJASTAK]

Grimm guy as always single handedly making Grimm look like a viable CO, and decreasing the winrate of new players who want to immitate a fraction of his panache.

[@ADHadh]

Grimm Guy is the opposite of a newbie player. Newbie players often take powerful COs like Kanbei or Colin and do badly with them. Grimm Guy takes a mediocre CO and does absurdly well with him.

[@KopperNeoman]

@@ADHadh Grimm Guy makes me feel like Grimm is the Kanbei concept fully realised - rather than being overpowered as shit, he's instead incredibly powerful but hard to use.

[@LopsidedMoz]

I think Mangs underestimates how popular his AW content is

[@raho500]

I don't even wanna know Grimm-Guys true Identity, I just want this enigmatic legend to live on till eternaty.

[@Krizalid3YE]

Same, dude. it will broke the "mysticity", the magic around Grimm Guy.

[@thespecialone7632]

What ever his identity he is very advance

[@boldandbrash9447]

The real grimmm guy was the friends we made along the way.

[@MercuryA2000]

Only reason I'd wanna know is if Grimm Guy gets so high in MMR he decides to announce what Grimm Guy's alt is for when he's playing around with other COs.

[@bobthegamingtaco6073]

​@@MercuryA2000 lol was gonna say something similar, Grimm Guy is the main account now

[@IcerFreakyNana]

About the AW content, I can't speak for the algorithm, but I started watching the videos from your channel since the videos analyzing units (the classic "Are Neo Tanks worth it?"). Also, I tried watching AW matches commentary from other youtubers but their style didn't really click with me. You manage to provide good and fitting commentary, while being entertaining, funny, informative and giving interesting insight on the players, units, metagame and calculations. So, I try to watch your AW videos as soon as you post them!

[@judobeer6720]

This sums up my mangs experience as well thx for putting it into words so well

[@foxeye245]

I actually would like to see more of the unit analysis videos, and perhaps days of ruin units as well.

[@J3tAlone]

The Starflash taunt to get bodied combo will never stop being funny. Two of my favorite players duking it out is a serious treat, thanks for casting this Mangs! Deejus would be proud of the baboonery exhibited by these prime specimens.

[@tubey84]

Honestly feel AWBW should be bigger than it is. It's like a really fun chess-type of game with loads of variables. Would love to see chess grandmasters learn it and give it a shot to see how they get on.

[@zacharynelson2856]

I think a big limiter is the management teams dedication to keeping it work very close to how it would on the hardware. Which isn't a bad thing honestly but it does prevent them from innovating and trying new things and concepts that might have more broad appeal. So it'll probably stay niche as most of the people who are interested in Competitive advanced wars as is, are already aware and play AWBW.

[@furiouscorgi6614]

THE MED TANK!!!!!

[@mb2776]

I also saw some similarties of chess and aw, like playing for tempo and saccing units for advantage. those are super common themes in chess!

[@Pannedcakes-90]

Many think that Grimm is a simple man who just likes to fight. That's untrue. Grimm is a complicated man who's been through a lot. He simply wants you to enjoy a relaxing time reviewing your game and teaching the next generation how to grow. It's just that he does that by smashing into a brick wall while his theme song blasts in the background.

[@lasselen9448]

Well, at least we know Grimm Guy isn't Starflash. But considering Starflash's playstyle, that was very unlikely to begin with. Always a joy to see them play, though!

[@olympusgolemoflight7198]

Never a grim day when Mangs uploads a Grimm Guy video.

[@jashloseher578]

It's a Grimm day!

[@WandererTheLost]

The algarithm randomly recommended these to me. You have such a great personality and your explanations of the game are very well done as I don't know the game well. I will say the Grimm Guy videos are my favorites. Feels like an underdog fight each time.

[@LanEXHikari]

Perhaps it's Grimm Guy popularity, or his secret identity. Just roll with it, we are glad for more Advance Wars ✌🏼

[@Dexterritory212]

its always lovely to see advance wars videos pop up and Grimm Guy and StarFlash are no exception to this because its pure entertainment and not fully predictable turns their literally playing a co for fun and good job Grimm Guy on hitting 1400 and StarFlash games are very fun looking forward to the inevidtable 1500 on Grimm Guy cheers again for a great video Mangs

[@PenumbraVIII]

We are spoiled, Gangs set us up with a snappy Grimm Jimm game twice in a row. The cream, truly, rises to the top.

[@menhirmike]

Starf Lash vs Grimm Guy, let's go!

[@Paulunatr]

the ultimate reveal is that Mangs is actually Grimm Guy and he's using this channel to hype himself up.

[@baldbro3693]

Always good when Mangs guy covers Grimm guys matches

[@johncolasont6195]

I have neither played nor watched this game in My life prior to two days ago. Now I have watched every Grimm guy game on the channel.

[@fox7757]

I’ve always liked Grim guy because of his firepower despite his reduced defense. A glass cannon that will *punch a hole* through a wall if you need it. You will undoubtedly lose some units but it would be worth it if you save the strongest units for your plan on the high value targets.

[@officedullard8722]

Thank Grimm for more Grimm Guy matches!

[@haveyoutakenyourjoymygoods943]

The Grimm Guy takeover of the channel has begun, and I, for once, accept our new lord and savior , HAIL GRIMM GUY!!!! And nice to see more people are seing your advance War videos getting more popular, I got to your Channel for the FE, but now I also play AW, thanks for that

[@puppyguard2689]

When's the grimm cosplay? Grab a pair of sunglasses, a marker for the stache, and a pair of bandaids for his scar!

[@SteamWolf320]

He missed out on being Grimm for Halloween

[@alex_zetsu]

One thing Lash can do with her SOP is reach artillery where the other guy only walled off the shortest route but left a way to drive around the blocker. In rain (on random weather) or through forests (anytime), it can be used to get a tank to hit those indirects. In a situation where you've already demolished all enemy indirects, it's just a glorified way to take engagements from cities. If Grimmguy built one less tank and one more artillery early on, Prime Tactics might have been useful in hitting that 3rd one, but Starflash activated his after the 2 artillery was already destroyed. I'm not really sure what to do with that. Sitting on the power is probably wrong, but at the same time the extra movement doesn't do much on this turn. Max's Max Blast or Andy's hyperupgrade are much better, giving the key units extra movement and firepower increases.

[@DemonFox369]

Let’s gooooo, I love seeing how Grimm plays and what he can do against the different COs, I’m glad Grimm Guy uses Grimm against higher tiers. Seeing Grimm against other T4 gets repetitive.

[@kent7057]

Wow, this match was like a brawler in boxing going up against an in-fighter opponent. In-fighter moves close and gets slammed!

[@Bobby-ls4sk]

"I hate this map, I don't know how to play this map. I know I said the same for the last map but .." Looks like something I could have say

[@maxmexmixbruh8695]

Have I ever played Advance Wars? No. Will I play AWBW? Also no. Will I tune in to damn near every cast of it cuz it's fascinating to me? Yes.

[@AerialAce-o3o]

I only play casual advance wars but I agree, these awbw videos are very interesting for some reason. It's like watching an anime series with all the cool characters in the competitive scene lol

[@Nicekid933]

I think what’s making it comeback is entertaining people like yourself. I’ve never played advance wars and stumbled on your videos. I’m so interested in the pro scene and the strategies and the game now. Thank you for introducing it to me!

[@Vandenbz00]

I myself hold the opinion that you should cover every match for Grimm Guy. Even if the match ends in a loss for him it'll still be fun to see.

[@SaberKittyZero]

We can't see what's going on in that city! What if something crazy happens in that corner?!

[@lero4827]

Grimm guy games are always great to watch. I don't mind getting more grimm guy content.

[@gregc2236]

The more videos you make, the more we will watch, keep up the good work 🙂👍

[@Scrap_and_build_ourselves]

Shit, Grimm Guy vs Starflush? I need popcorn for this

[@TheTrueAdept]

Grimm Guy is what those in the TF2 community call a Fisherman or an engineer playstyle that basically baits people to charge up his Frontier Justice (a shotgun that gets crits via assists and kills from the sentry gun) before using those crits against them. He sets things up and baits the enemy player to brawl and then said opponent discovers that it was a trap and gets maulled.

[@mb2776]

I also noticed he plays the long game with resources. I'm not talking losing a single unit or capturing more buildings and bases. If you notice, in many smaller engangments, not the big battles, he only loses an infantry or a small tank but with grimms higher attack, 2 units are easily able to kill one of the same unit, like 2 infantry against 1. That creates a huge disadvantage in finances in the long run for his opp and let's him use his battle coppters more freely since anti air costs more than tanks and has way less movement. It forces his opp to build anti air which aren't that good for attacking or stalling with artillery. Stalling won't benefit you against grimm guy since he is very good with short term tactics.

[@adamguthrey6160]

hopefully we can get WEEKLY grimmguy games

[@Artemas_16]

Congrats with algorytm noticing you, Mango!

[@Laurenjor]

These vids at times make me think that I should try playing advance wars Even though I never play strategy games since a long while Love watching your vids

[@Connector7th]

Bless the AWBW! Grimm guy is an inspiration.

[@PartyPossumPosse]

GrimmGuy is the Slobberknocker King dude

[@religiouslyhealing5400]

I don’t even play Advanced wars but I just fell in love watching you and Deejus cast games. I remember seeing the, “can you beat duel strike without losing units” and I was like, sure sounds interesting from a technical standpoint, even if I don’t know the game. I’m super happy KZbin has been giving you some good coverage and it’s awesome to see some more grim guy

[@evanquintana4778]

I was doing a colour wheel drawing challenge a few weeks ago, and listening to a lot of gameplay/soundtracks while drawing Sami(Orange). And there you were, releasing two good-length Sami vids in a row. Glad I was able to contribute to the channel!

[@ChillstoneBlakeBlast]

I can't believe Grimm became a Rogue CO in AWBW before we got GTA 6

[@rousseaualex1459]

Yeah another Grimm Guy, this match was very interesting. I found your Channel 2 year ago ago a little more for avance wars content and very happy to see it ! I like your analysis. I like the other content too but less than advance war. I like your Channel man, really good content.

[@laki7480]

Grimm guy videos are my favorite advance wars videos

[@samisainio7468]

I started to play AW series with my emulator few weeks ago (used to play them when I was a teenager). Played AW1 (S-ranked normal campaign and beat the hard campaign and finally got all the CO's) and then AW2 (both campaigns S-ranked) and now I am looking for this online aspect of it. I am so glad that there is such a vibrant community aroung these games and your content is all I need to get ready for online. :)

[@FruitNDoggie]

I can't believe the sheer disregard for a city, with Mangs egging it in his commentary video.

[@ThedeadMapleoak]

It's so strange how players get caught up in Grimm's flow.

[@amiasg9305]

I definitely reignited interest in awbw when I saw the Sami player video "This Advance Wars Playee is Just Built Different." I've been playing daily on awbw and watching a lot of AW youtubers again

[@CawsForConcern]

Since you asked, I was recommended this channel randomly on my KZbin feed. I don't know the first thing about Advanced Wars, but your commentary is very entertaining and informative enough that I can get the gist of what's going on.

[@mr.s.i6642]

As soon as I saw the title I knew which match it is gonna be.

[@danielpitts3348]

Relatively new viewer to the channel. Got here after being recommended the "can I beat advance wars 2 without losing any units" video. Challenge videos seem to be the best overlap with other gaming content, it's how I find a lot of new channels. Love the content! Make more!

[@MisterVercetti]

Two in a row? I'd say the outlook for this channel is looking pretty Grimm.

[@DavisG603]

SNAP INTO A GRIMM JIM OOOOH YEEEEUH

[@ojhat]

I always click to watch AW matches commentated by you. AW is how i first ever discovered your channel way back during Andy's adventure (long after the channel drama) and ive been hooked ever since

[@xaviersavard6343]

Deathless aw got reccomanded to me recently

[@joncook5432]

Grimm guys Legendary, loving the uploads.

[@idonkat6097]

No Mangs I don't think it's the algorithm, I think it's because of GRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMM GUY

[@PerfectlyLost]

DAMMIT MANGS! You are suppose to stay neutral, not help Starflash by covering Grims city!

[@jamests343]

Nice touch with the purple lightning in the thumbnail, StarFlash signature!

[@liammoffatt6966]

The people LOVE the transport copter!

[@wauchi1895]

Mangs: "Are we really gonna do 2 Grimmguy games in a row?" Me: "Hell yeah!" :D

[@FedoraReshiramGaming]

Mangs, Grimm guy aint playing defensive initially so he can go in for those counter attacks, he's just making the game 'fair' by letting the opponent get the first punch off! What an upstanding guy he is, showing that 'real' fair play is letting your opponent get the first hit, 'then' grinding them into dust in a very long brawl!

[@peterchauvin1486]

I enjoy your content mangs, keep it up

[@edwardrehehehehe]

Hey Mangs, with people coming to advance wars from cartridge, would you consider making a video teaching us the new additions to understand in by web if they wanna play, too? stuff like black boats or altered mechanics?

[@mrlucasftw42]

All Grimm guy for the month!

[@reportsinged2677]

i still have not touched this game but i still come back for some cool videos you are incredibly entertaining mangs

[@benjaminoechsli1941]

I originally subscribed to Mangs for his AW content, so I'm delighted to see him get a chance to capitalize on his excellent contributions to the scene. Keep up the good work, sir!

[@martinithechobit]

I feel old. But Its good to see the art from advance wars again. Classic.

[@SunshineDeluxe]

Lol, I guessed Grimm Guy was actually StarFlash after the last video. I haven't been that blatantly wrong in a while...

[@notacoolt-shirt1394]

On the algorithm. I found your channel a week ago because of your no death challenge runs. (I watch a lot of challenge runs) And now I'm just in deep in the Advance Wars content

[@truegamer_007]

Grimm guy beating StarFlash wasn't on my bingo card but damn, he good.

[@lelieutenant7386]

5:00 give us the most important city of the map back, we need vision on it !

[@NEKOEVE]

Not new but live league is pretty damn awesome, good to see it reviving the game.

[@lukasneo91]

Seeing Grimm Guy and Starflash is always a guaranteed banger

[@malik740]

I completly and utterly lost track of what happened because I couldnt see that one city you block with your arm, please fix, it gives me OCD

[@clannad1327]

franchement, je sais même plus comment j'ai découvert cette chaîne KZbin, surement avec du Fire Emblem mais je regrette vraiment pas de m'y être abonné depuis bientôt 3 ans malgré mon mauvais niveau en anglais, je reste en visionneur de l'ombre comme il doit y en avoir beaucoup d'autre

[@AWGrimmGirl]

Starflash should know better : Don't mess with my man ♥

[@mb2776]

Love the new awbw content! I'm just not into other Games you show in your channel currently, no hard feelings, just not my type of games. Would love a video about the transport meta and the awbw mechanics like boosting units.

[@Hoflicht]

I like the Grimm Guy Games - not sure if it would be even cooler if Mangs would wear sunglases when casting Grimm Games 😅

[@MrGreenTabasco]

I think the generell interest in AW was overcooked after the reboot camp. Especially after it was such a letdown. I know that I for one needed a bit of a break from it all. But now, with some distance, I can pretend it was all just a dream. Also, lots of peolpe making halfassed content seems to hurt a topic in general, as the algo can assume its the topic in itself that turns people off.

[@kaakkulandia]

I always knew Grimm guy was good but actually beating Starflash?? Woah, that's incredible!

[@JadeStarLP]

Mangs, your arm is covering up the city in the bottom right of the map, please fix.

[@HanakkoLove]

Grim Guy Vs Rip when?

[@ullenbullen]

This Grimm Guy is Insane! Thank you Mangs and Grimm Guy! I've learned so much from your reviews! You are doing a great Job!

[@dominic3753]

Hey, I found your channel, it's so cool there is a competitive scene.

[@knight_lautrec_of_carim]

I wonder where it went wrong here for Starflash. Looks like his first attacks were very solid but then everything went south.

[@zacharynelson2856]

CO match up honestly. When the powers came in that's when you saw the big swing in my opinion. Prime tactics is too expensive and doesn't really give lash the ommph she needs. The biggest thing is how good Grimm guys plays are, the counter attacks are not designed to deal the most damage possible, but to minimize the enemies ability to retaliate against him. I think that's what really makes trading with him so dangerous. He pulls back when he achieves his goal and waits. So it's very hard to trade with grimm guy effectively unless your CO gives you enough of an edge to punish, because Grimm guys plays are rarely gonna be easy to punish themselves.

[@control9lcme]

5:06 does it count as Mangs Infantry on bottom right corner of the map?

[@Hone_mor2525]

3:40 Do you think StarFlash can fix her?

[@jettisonyurei8809]

Ohhh don't even get him started.

[@fred-dawg]

Love that you’ve been posting more AWBW videos recently. You have great pacing (less than 1 hr) per match and still insightful commentary. Thanks and keep up the great work Mangs #Dangs

[@theoutlander1411]

Between this channel and Deejus' I love watching these games while eating dinner.

[@pktmaster]

Grimm Guy once again turning his opponent into a greasy smear on his fist.

[@JonathanToolonie]

Grimm Guy is always a joy to watch. Add Starflash250? Double the fun.

[@gamerz1172]

honestly the thing abouat the advance wars videos is that its almost like chess, even people who have no intrest in the game can easily put it on in the background for entertainment

[@pierrickbouvieraubrege5887]

Love to see it thanks Mangs!

[@LK.Cynric]

Really fun match! Love the AW videos!

[@grottoguru6473]

Never even heard of AW but I've been binging your channel (specifically the Grimm Guy vids)

[@mintcake2668]

This is such a fast pace game. Day 11 and they deep in the brawling.

[@AnimuRassleTheater]

9:10 I think the logic is that as a glass cannon, Grimm wants to hit more than he gets hit to get ahead. The first attack tends to be on the edge of your reach, and the counter-attacker is the one getting more hits in in the exchange, assuming the unit wasn't completely stranded.
