This Advance Wars Player Is Just Built Different

[@Mangs1337]

Hey guys, this video blew up, so here's a pinned post with some FAQ! Q: Where is this being played? A: On a site called Advance Wars By Web: awbw.amarriner.com/ Q: Competitive Advance Wars exists in 2024? A: Yes and it's amazing, check out more of my videos here: kzbin.info/aero/PLtQwvs0YaimI59KmHvBN67B0QCnluNbAJ Q: How can I begin playing? A: Check out this video explaining it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHnNYZZsaa-Ef9k Q: Why is it impressive that rip_ builds so many transports? A: At the highest level of competitive Advance Wars, you don't tend to see many transports since they are a very risky investment, this is akin to someone sacrificing a piece in a grandmaster-level Chess game. Q: Why are you bald? A: Because I know your mom likes it Please enjoy the vid!

[@totally_not_a_bot]

On Q4, sacrificing pieces in chess is very common. I'd maybe compare it to using a meme opening. See Magnus Carlson swapping the queen and king.

[@Njordin2010]

[@TrentTube]

Love this.

[@EnRandomSten]

I like how this kinda shows the real world principles of a vehicle heavy attack force vs a mobile light infantry defense using AT weapons to take out critical targets while still keeping mobile enough to never suffer a counter attack.

[@yoloman3607]

Clefairy could have gone Soviet though and moved the artillery in with the tanks to compensate for the poor infantry. Clefairy could have really punished that infantry attrition with an artillery or two in the center and artillery are really good at getting good trade against Mechs who are so slow.

[@sherrdreamz7232]

There is really no viable line that could hold the tide even with Artillery on this map. The middle is designed for mobility, so any force smaller than the opponent will still be stuck with losing engagements. On defense Artillery are only good at chokepoints that force the enemy to overextend or as sacrificial tools to hurt an impending force that is close to overextending. Arty units have many more dynamic options supporting a strong offense as they make aggression safer and are critical for either taking property or locking it down.

[@yoloman3607]

But he's fighting a mech/infantry wall in the center, they aren't mobile at all until Sami pops a power. He has an artillery anchoring the top and bottom flank but they are completely wasted when they could have punished the center infantry push on Day 10 for example and kept the unit counts vaguely equal. Tanks attacking the infantry wall would get punished, but mechs can't punish an artillery. Meanwhile the flanks also end up getting a tank to anchor them anyways so the artillery is completely wasted. Tanks on flanks are better anyways since they are actually capable of front switching back to the center where arty can't.

[@sherrdreamz7232]

@@yoloman3607 generally Clefairy decided to invest in holding the sides instead of meeting his army deathball for deathball which would be the only way Artillery could have enough of a meatshield to be effective in the middle. Even still due to Sami's unit composition being more Infantry-centric on the Frontlines usually clashing benefits her more than most Co's because her Infantry can dismantle opposing Infantry walls. Really fascinating match though, while I like playing Sami in ranked T4 Fog the amount of work the T-copters put in the entire match was insane. Immaculate play from both players.

[@BirdRaiserE]

I KNEW from the second that T cop started moving he was going to use it to forward some mechs. It's so simple but theoretically super cost effective I'm surprised more people don't do it.

I don't think Rip's playstyle will take over the site. Rip has fully mastered the game, and now he just makes his own meta. There are players who I think could mimick his playstyle, like Go7 and kantbei, but the far majority of people would just create the bad mech-spam we're used to. It definately was a treat to watch, it's nice to see how these absolute top-players distinguish themselves from the "normal" grandmasters.

[@kazekamiha]

In fairness, this was less "mech spam" and more "mech tactics"; using cover, team work and transport to get the most out of his units. Heck, last time I even commented mechs would be better in FoW.

[@KowalSonn]

Fair point with FoW. Mechs are too easy to outmaneuver when you can see them being recruited. Without FoW if you see enemy committing to transport copters you can easily go for recons to punish no tanks. In FoW you can never be sure how many are being recruited and where they will be sent until you scout them.

[@joel6376]

I play with my kid on a handheld and not online at all. This came up in my feed because we had been looking at units I guess. I am mildly surprised that competitive isn't only FOW and that there is even a discussion around it.. it just seems a no brainer? A quick google seems to indicate that the main problem is that you don't know the opponents commander.. which is sad.

[@LonesomeDevil]

I'm a complete AW noob and I can barely understand all the intricate plays going on in a game, but I can still see the way rip managed to get multiple uses out of every individual T-copter almost every turn is just nuts. Talk about getting your money's worth. To be able to pull that off you probably need to have your units' positioning figured out 1 or 2 turns in advance and even be able to adapt to your opponent's moves on the fly if you need to.

[@Pluveus]

Yeah, essentially what happened was he was able to flood the center with mechs for a quick assault and by the time Clefairy could mount a counter attack they had used up 2-3 of their three shots.

I have not heard about this game since I was 15 playing in highschool on my game boy. I’m 31 now. This was a hilarious blast from the past. I had no clue people even knew about this game. Now there’s competitions for it!? I’m blown away. Amazing commentary and gameplay. Bravo.

[@bellduke6417]

Sami’s transport is an infantry movement multiplayer, and her playstyle is meant to be copter heavy, with cheap ground units so she can spam them. If the infantry/ mech ball has +1/2 movement consistently when front shifting, it’s way scarier.

[@simonkorica9467]

Logistics win wars after all.

[@HerrFinsternis]

Yes, this, bring several strengths together. It is honestly surprising me (a complete noob at this particular game) this wasn't the norm always. Maybe it was at some point, and it got countered, and then forgotten, and now times are repeating itself?

[@bellduke6417]

Since this comment blew up, I’ll clarify on how rip won that was interesting. While building his Sami death ball he went out of his way to hunt every enemy recon. The Sami death ball had supporting veichles 4 tiles+ back, and thus were out of the enemy sight range. Rip then pulled off a hidden front switch while having a infantry/mech death ball, the army that threatened the HQ was a feint, and after doing so repositioned to defensive terrain in anticipation of the COpower. The rest of the army moved north to pick off the enemy northern assault Throughout the mid game he ruthlessly exterminated the enemy infantry. By the last turn even after pushing Sami back at great loss, he would need 5 turns to flip the closet city! This is a great example strategic creativity and skill, thank you mangs for the video.

[@Wub-rv9xx]

⁠@@HerrFinsternisespecially the way they controlled space with infantry and applied mechs/tanks if the enemy tried to engage, it’s a real textbook play. never played ladder, but I love to flood the board with infantry ‘cuz of how hard it is to trade evenly against them.

[@LCTesla]

I've always felt like T-copters were a hidden gem, a way to effectively turn mechs into something as useful as light tanks, and you just pay for them once and benefit from them forever if you use them right. but damn it takes some skill to get to that point.

[@blahmaster6k]

I think this video kind of undersells Sami T-Copter mechs as a strategy. I get a bit of an impression from watching that it only works because RIP is a very strong and confident player, and not because it's just a good strategy (depending on the situation/map, of course). It's not mech spamming, it's tactical use of T-copters and mechs in combination with other vehicles. Remember, T-Copter+Mech is only 8000 compared to the 7000 of a tank, and Sami mechs hit way harder than her tanks do. It's absolutely worth that 8k for her. She also has +1 transport movement, so you can potentially move a mech 9 squares as Sami (more with COP) to position better than she could with a tank. Another thing, this map specifically makes copters and mechs stand out even more compared to tanks, because all of the rivers restrict tank movement. T-copters and mechs don't care about that, and it opens up a lot of new angles for Sami to attack with and takes away a lot of the mobility and tactical flexibility advantage tanks would usually have.

[@lero4827]

Great match! I can't believe that mechs and T-Copers are being played at grandmaster level matches THAT good.

[@arrowofkira5658]

This t-copter spam strategy is very similar to what go7 does to people, put pressure on crucial spots on the map early while focusing on good reinforcement lines with transports to get away with aggressive capturing. When rip was with most of the units in the middle where most fighting happens and a lot of engagements are in your favor because mechs would just trade with tanks, you can't really do much as jess there especially when your infantry can't even trade with your samis infantry which forces vehicle engagement. And that was in rips favor all the time.

[@ncghost12]

Mech + tcopter barely costs more than a tank and you get 2 units! But the difficulty in creating pressure compared to a tank (it’s practically a turn slower) ig means only very skilled players could even consider that play

[@emperorarima3225]

One mech + tcopter costs more than a tank yes. But one tcopter can bring more than one mech. One tcopter + 2 mechs is cheaper than 2 tanks. And by the time you've got a 3rd mech, the tanks have to rely on their mobility to still be competitive. I think overtime theory will develop around mech usage and intermediates will use them more. Time will tell lol

[@blahmaster6k]

@@emperorarima3225 Not to mention it's on a map with a lot of rivers that keep tanks from front shifting as quickly (while allowing copters and mechs to attack over them), and the 40% power difference between Sami's mechs and her tanks. You can tell just by looking at it that using T-Copters and Mechs is a good strategy for this map.

[@rambutan3655]

Never knew that my childhood game will have competitive battle. I will look for more

[@tylerddh]

First time watching this channel, clicked because I always thought sami would be a cool character to get good with but never really figured it out. Haven't played in years but I still have fond memories of this game, glad to see it's still around! Also thought it was funny that most players apparently inch their opponents off the map, I mained Grit and that was definitely my strat!

[@thedarvatar5690]

That was a fantastic battle of maneuver! Using transports to overcome the mobility challengers of mechs to actually enable his mechs to over his own tanks is inspired. The meta sleeps on transports because they are expensive, especially in the early game, and the opportunity cost of a transport is often considered not worth. But rip_ demonstrated that added mobility, that tactical flexibility is wildly valuable, perhaps even worth the cost.

[@unclecuddles5232]

Sammy is an interesting CO for sure. The fact that her strongest units are also some of the cheapest makes her swarm potential difficult to deal with. I will say that is some real restraint to not use her victory march to go capture crazy. Usually I feel like even if it's not the safest play, the effects can be devastating enough to give you a serious advantage in the coming turns since they can't do the same to you and take back what you steal right away.

[@Cirrimus]

I really appreciate using the pause versions of the tracks. It's one of the best things about reboot camp.

[@subtlewhatssubtle]

That aggressive thrust at 12:30 was honestly brilliant. A deep strike towards LC's HQ used as a feint, instead producing a well defended salient, with the expansion to the south that completely secures the flank so that rip_ can mass his unit advantage and grind out LC's surviving defenders.

[@shigerufan1]

21:00 It looks like he waited to pop it because he could only see two infantry at the start of the turn.

Sami is just so fun to watch. It's really a treat to see top players use her like this. Even in fog she can still be scary to play against. She can just demolish the enemy infantry and then the opponent is forced to take bad engagements.

[@g.r.4372]

I don't play AWBW yet. But here are my takeaways: 1 - Mechs have no terrain penalty, which is good. 2 - Tight formation in with mechs in a "L" pattern providing anti-vehicle coverage afforded by Sami's bonuses. The possible damage is enough to dissuade attacks. This means keeping on a 3x3 or 4x4 square at most. Good that mechs are cheap. 3 - Preference to advantageous (to Sami) infantry engagements to defuse attacks. Any victory becomes an useless overextension without infs to capture cities. 4 - great use of victory march to secure income lead. The best response to this would be medium tanks, but most players would rather not throw their md tanks to get swarmed by way cheaper units who'd get better ROI. It's better to front switch and use arties to zone out properties. Messing with a cluster of Sami mechs isn't worth it.

[@kingsgambit7098]

Yeah, I've been waiting for someone to attempt this. The thing about strategy is that you need some form of structure to make it realistically possible. When you build Infantry & Mech units they are two of the cheapest units that can easily form as a sense of structure. Often leaving plenty of resources banked back and more units on the field compared to someone doing otherwise. Even if your opponent counters, they are often spending more turns clearing out the infantry than it takes to build them.

[@KwarterCraft]

Sami with the T-Copters and her powers really squeezes the effectiveness out of the Mechs. Their biggest issue is mobility, but rip_'s smart play basically makes that irrelevant.

[@ShrikeGames]

As in most turn based games, Action Economy (and Mobility by proxy) is king. If you can do more things in a turn than your opponent you will more often win. So making a lot of low cost units that provide medium to big value in return makes perfect sense. Sami gets more cost effective cheap units, and on large maps like this with lots of production possibilities it's theoretically superior. Map balance could alter this quite heavily I think, but to me it looks like rip_ just understands how to value things better.
