Tom being smug with his three flamey boys before Lewis pointed out he had no anti air was just the best

[@BrunoMaricFromZagreb]

Why does it spell out HORSE?

[@Nettai]

Lewis had an anime protagonist moment

[@coreylemon]

I love Tom, but the smugness they both had just then was so satisfying lol

[@vampuricknight1]

He actually did have Anti air though... just not a lot of it. The phoenix (the fighter jet looking things) can shoot up. Against that many Wasps though (the little fly boys) its not nearly enough you need a large number of aerial units or AA to deal with them effectively, even a unit or two of fangs helps a lot.

[@kalebscott282]

@@vampuricknight1 That is more "can shoot air" than "anti-air" though. Also, the wasps were spawned with the Phoenixes as their first target. I think they shot maybe one? Personally, I would classify that as no anti-air :)

[@CaperCafe_]

Lewis always coming with his own Bams. He just can't help himself!

[@ozanesici]

I dunno what it is but when lewis isn’t the “host” of the video he has a different vibe and I’m all for it

[@rysiii811]

wheel boy trauma lives on

[@TheOnlyOrk]

lewis seems to be a big fan of repeating a losing move a second time to see if it works then

[@MrTuneslol]

To be fair, it did work with the sledgehammer's 😂

[@tranquilclaws8470]

@@MrTuneslol Until someone brings in steel balls or a melting point and they all pop at once lol

[@Hawk_of_Battle]

"Hmmm, my crawlers are getting massacred by his arclights. Clearly, I'm not using *enough* crawlers!" - Lewis

[@trionyxking1318]

The sledgehammers weren't the problem, Lewis was just ignoring the flanking crawlers.

[@coreylemon]

Gotta respect a man who sticks to his guns when his opponent is sticking to long range artillery.

[@keilanbarnes]

31:53 watching the snipers emerge unscathed from the nuke looked so awesome

[@NereidAlbel]

Shield can always block at least one hit, no matter how powerful. Only reason they lived :)

[@Hawk_of_Battle]

"Your Flaming Dragon style is formidable, but my Diving Swallow style will defeat it!" - Lewis, match 4, presumably.

[@BAMGM]

And this is _after_ Lewis attempted to drop the defensive photon coating _on the enemy army_ and incinerated his own frontline, all in the same round

[@Universum]

A letter per match is honestly a great idea haha

[@EvilLobsterKing]

RSE is my favourite letter of the alphabet

[@Ste16ish]

@@EvilLobsterKingit was a best of 5 hence on the fifth game it ended with a winner

[@EvilLobsterKing]

@@Ste16ish yes, it was a best of five. But as a five letter word, HORSE suggests a best of nine.

[@PierceArner]

I don't know what it is about this game, but these Yoga matches are all _super_ satisfying.

[@yakobsoulstorm5187]

I think it’s because the game is so well balanced. I’ve not felt like anything is more or less powerful than anything else, and that lack of jank that’s inherent to most other games like this is just really refreshing.

[@coreylemon]

@@yakobsoulstorm5187 Its good, fast paced strategy that focuses on positioning and countering while completely removing player skill and control to make sure the field is always level. Some people might dislike that kind of thing, but not having to worry about your opponent being a grandmaster tweaker with 160 APM, a macro kitty, or just a straight up bot or hacker so you can focus entirely on countering their build seems like a really solid design choice for the game.

[@yakobsoulstorm5187]

@@coreylemon It doesn’t remove skill, it removes mechanical skill and emphasises strategic thinking. The flanking option is a great demonstration of this, since neither player wants a war on two fronts for themselves, but both want it for the other. It makes for a very interesting game if you know what units do what and how best to buff them.

[@dmtaboo_truth7052]

@@yakobsoulstorm5187 You can argue that strategy is a skill, but he wasn't claiming it isn't. By 'skill' he clearly meant high APM and macro/micro skills specifically, which is a true statement. Overall, yes it is refreshing to see a game that's reasonably balanced and not plagued with RNG and exploitable jank.

[@RubelliteFae]

"I don't need you're gentlemen's agreement not to build large boys. I'll do it on my own and you don't have to" Oh Lewlew

[@MarshmaloWarrior]

Mechahorseum is a series I'm very happy seeing coming in more often!

[@EnterthecatTigger]

i laughed at lewis BAM. Very good stuff.

[@Futuristic271]

What about playing to BAM instead of horse?

[@jhdesk]

Make this top comment!

[@Dr.Death8520]

Yeah but then you can't call each other Ho and Hor...

[@atahannd.9937]

I have a bout 20 hours in this game and I bought it because of that stream you guys did. No regrets this game is great.

[@chandrakas]

Same here. Best impulse purchase on account of a KZbin vid I’ve made in awhile!

[@MrVandymann]

Ive gotten a few games based off of stuff they play and this is the one I keep coming back to

[@BlareWolfgang]

That Lewis comeback was amazing. Tom should’ve been scared

[@C4NNI13AL]

Tom: Slapping Horse onto any game. Me: Always watching with a bag of popcorn.

[@jordanyoung3082]

Lewis sounds oddly like wheelboy

[@RadicalLynx]

Comments section about to lose their minds over Tom doubling down on HORSE 😂

[@joshuafoster354]

I love watching this game, its so entertaining as a watch only game

[@dmtaboo_truth7052]

That's how I feel about most competitive/PvP games these days

[@wesleydick7727]

I have just been so hyped for these Mechabellum Horse vids lately. These have been so fun to watch and they really showcase how cool this game actually is.

[@Dr0ctagonapus5]

The vulcans vs sledgehammers round was such an anime comeback for Lewis with those wasps.

[@ratz30]

This game is great. Keep up the mechabellum content, literally can't get enough!

[@Baleur]

Love the first fight. Lewis LITERALLY explaining that, "You gotta counter the enemy to win". Tom LITERALLY giving Lewis the winning strategy, "flamers counter my crawlers". Lewis refusing to put down any AoE what so ever, refuses to counter Toms crawlers, loses. I wonder why xD - 17:30 oh look, countering works xD

[@DeepTalksPodcast777]

The fact this video goes for nearly 40 mins and it's horse with the new horse game makes me tip my hat to you my Angory Tom.

[@denfansteven4910]

Thank you Tom (and Lewis) for showing me this awesome game. I've played like 20 hrs of it this week.

[@Kaiimei]

Tom: "Three Arclights will handle this." Tom: *Buys more Overlords instead.*

[@rysiii811]

I dont know if I am more amazed by you making a horse game viable for this (even at the cost of lenght of the video), or by Lewis actually doing well, good job guys, all 3 of you!

[@spencerwilkie4218]

Please make this another forever game you play!! Hundreds of episodes would be awesome

[@llamawaffles5559]

Everyone so far is loving this game and I am all for it! MORE MECHABELLUM!!!

[@jamblesss]

i am loving this game tom. i almost never watch full vods and had absolutely no problem watching the tournament.

[@ChanceBrunton]

That was such a great comeback for Lewis. The moment he unveiled the anti-air weakness in Tom's army was absolutely hilarious. I really love watching you guys play this game!

[@setso1]

I laughed so hard at 26:48

[@ReunionMana]

I love how Lewis always steals the bam, that's my favorite part of the Lewis/Tom duo

[@WhitieWu]

26:35 awesome

[@thebreeandjoeshow]

Love these videos. Just won a couple of the mini tournaments. Would love to hop in and play some games against these guys. Yognaughts for life!

[@Cyberpansy]

These Mechabellum videos are amazing. I could watch them all day.

[@shadrack1701]

WOW...I can't believe Lewis pulled it back. His first two losses were...rough...

[@Cander5142]

I’ve come the realization over the years that part of the interview process for the Yogs is “When playing a tactical game and your tactics aren’t working against your opponent, do you keep doing the same thing and ignore countering them? If so you are hired!”

[@toxic_cowZ]

the fight at 23:00 was one of the best rounds i have ever seen with the absolute worst ability usage imaginable, used a buff on his opponent a chad move but not a strong one and also lazered the shit out of his own tanks while doing minimal damage to the enemy not to mention he paid for both of them lol

[@tadhgtwo]

I love this series of horse. Keep it coming Tom

[@capt_iron2797]

Ah the classic we have to be home before sundown version of horse

[@Ganinoish]

Really enjoying the Mechabellum content

[@sorenthekirin3921]

I’m absolutely adoring the mechabellum vids!

[@Openeyees]

We need like a 100 more of these!

[@thing4826]

Lewis not knowing counters is hilarious. Especially him thinking Melting points wasn't a "good plan" against Tom's op Fortress... even though that is an ideal counter.

[@SmashedHatProject]

I always love seeing what the captions thinks Tom says at the start of the video...this one is 'Byron'

[@supermansleftnut]

Loving these!!!! The longer the better!

[@nineleafclover1477]

Been loving the return of HORSE and glad you found another good game that fits the format

[@notaphish]

Loving the mech content!!

[@El_Teacher]

Lusty Argonian Maid joined your room. Lusty Argonian Maid left your toom. wat. Check the intro. I'll assume it's an expertly-placed easter egg by Tomothy himself. What a legend.

[@shackledonia]

These are great! Keep em coming! I've also been playing the butts out of this game. Wish Boba was in the office to record these! She'd make for some goofy and funny moments with games like this with Tom!

[@AshleyTheDinosaur]

This is a better use of the HORSE mechanic

[@Lu5gi]

wow what a great first game for Lewis. Fast learner. I would love to see another Yogs tournament of this game now that everyone is getting a hint for the strategies

[@Evilkillinggerbil]

Love this game. Would love to see more of it

[@matthewcoccaro2670]

Anyone else notice that, just as they were loading the battlefield, it said "The Lusty Argonian Maid has left the lobby?"

[@Useless-DPS-Lizards]

A quick visit to polish some spears

[@KuroShishi_Art]

Very good displays for both

[@SpydrXIII]

i just discovered the cinematic camera in mechabellum, it's pretty good.

[@Eenkognito]

Really enjoying these, but you should look into using solo - testing ground so that you can do proper wheel spins and everything. You can spawn in units, set hp to infinite, change incomes, basically anything you could want to do for a proper HORSE with many wheels.

[@dagansmith5354]

Damn that was a good video! more Mec mach-ups please!!

[@vineveer4358]

Classic best-of-five horse. Also known as Hor.

[@shadrack1701]

lol the lewis bam always gets me!

[@Crobarman11]

Very fun game to watch. The strats!

[@babaloo55555]

Hooray! I love Tom, I love MechaBellum, and I love HORSE. So this is just like Christmas for me.

[@divamon5602]

WOOOOOO!

[@spatbee]

lmao Lewis using photon coating on Tom's units....good lord this is some kids in a sandbox shit

[@shmanielshmlane2359]

Tom forgot to bring things that shoot up!

[@lordofsmalltwigs]

Hackers in the right position are absolute game winner. They are my favorite unit.

[@FeaturingNobody69]

The next one should be against Pedguin!!

[@Guydude777]

Glorious Horse

[@toxic_cowZ]

everyone mind there own business: lewis: BAM

[@anthonyschlessman1848]

35:56 actually Lewis this is exactly what I expected from you, if anyone can pull it off it's you, especially when it's a nerd game

[@TheKingreiko]

Love these

[@SolitaryLark]

Lewis the master of doubling down lol

[@AbyssWatcher745]

Tom forgot to use his photon emission ability and tank production item. They're under uour pfp/healthbar

[@Magic__7]

Hackers when used right can turn the tide of a battle also they have a shiled to cover tropes But just "putting them down" never really works out for them you have to have a target in mind for them Edit like in that last battle taking one of those fortress would have been good for a hack8

[@samlawrence5729]

great episode! hoping for some 2v2s soon!

[@Louiscypher93]

I wish the maps in this game had diffrent features like diffrent flanking positions, combat width. diffrent terrains

[@MadJinx1]

I couldn't help but notice, Tom, but you haven't spent your tech points. There are some really cool things you can unlock with those for your units, I recommend you take a look at those.

[@patton333]

He's probaby trying to keep it fair

[@lunarazure9969]

@@patton333 He probably just forgot. This is Tom we're talking about after all.

[@Isvoor]

Hackers are amazing against rhinos or any heavily upgraded unit, especially regenerating ones.

[@matalac100]

will you get smith in as he's been playing it too and tom/smith is a great combo for as few times we've seen it

[@jaycross7829]

Tom I finally beat slay the spire, I feel like a king🔥🔥

[@altejoh]

I really like using the letters to mark combat victories rather than individual round victories :D maybe it would be worth swapping from HORSE to PIG if you want fewer letters to have to go through, though?

[@benjamin1503]

Wow, great video

[@Jokefish]

My money is on he horse! Poor Lewis though :x

[@woof5082]

Title should be Old man looses Mechabellum

[@jfolz]

Not Mecha-Ben-um, but I'll take it.

[@deraj2514]

is this the new TABS!

[@Swordkirby9999]

So, wait, this game is TABS but in space and mechs and with proper PVP with shop and upgrade mechanics? Nice.

[@chronicmaster7689]

BAM

[@Magicstuffandthings]

Love Lewis losing and just doubling down on the losing strategy

MORE MEGA BELL END!!!

Hell yes

[@DrFilch]

*Bam!*

[@ianrowswell1474]

Mecha horse!

[@MrMabb91]

Me doing a double take when Tom and Lewis start saying my username 😮

[@liampollard8996]

Hey Tom, I know it probably does pretty well for viewership saying “HORSE” in the title. Specially since we all love to see it. But whenever we wanted to play a quick game of H.O.R.S.E we always just played P.I.G instead.

[@xfreedombuckO5x]

Just want to say I appreciate how the auto closed captioning translates Bam to Obama most of the time. Obama and welcome everybody!

[@GinjaLeviathan]

Shields hang around so long as they aren't destroyed

[@dillonwyatt8144]

Seems like a fun game. I wish it were available on Mac. :(

[@Loreroth]

idk if this was recorded before or after but they did buff the Hacker and its much much better now
