The Moment a Legend was born - 渋谷の花火師 Fireworks of Shibuya, Armored Core 6

[@SirGrindalot]

The Chad's online handle is "Fireworks" and he's from Shibuya. He just happened to be part of one of the greatest showcases ever that literally ends in fireworks. At 3:10 at the top of screen, the message says: "It's a beautiful firework" (this was pointed out to me in the comments, thanks @fugetsubeats).

Just imagine it: You're coming in to take out an SAM battery with your massive airship, thinking of the reports that "Oh there's just one mech, it shouldn't be too hard even if he's killing all the chaff down below." You give the command to fire on the hotshot, but your gunnery crews don't report solid hits. Your helmsman is reporting oddities and structural integrity while flying, the mech is *shooting* at you and appears to be flying closer. And then it disappears from your sensors. You don't know where it is anymore, but you're hearing clanging noises resounding throughout the ship. Did the pilot try to board? No, the answer is much, much worse. A flash of Grey is all you can see from the Forwards Window as the Raven in front of you rears back, and a massive metal fist smashes straight through the glass, killing most of the bridge crew instantly, and as you stare at it through bloodied eyes and it readies a second fist. Darkness. *How terrifying.*

Purges out of ammo weapons in mid-air while performing a 360 degree spin, kicking off towards the enemy battleship. Proceeds to melee said airborne battleship until it explode. Slams the Armored Core fists into the remainder of the hostiles on the ground, missiles firing. Just in time to witness a ballistic missile destroy a target objective. What a GigaChad.

[@akatsukiwolf2735]

@@SirGrindalot The way how he re-oriented the camera to visually capture the moment before the ballistic missile hits the target objective is a deliberate effort. The mission showcase not only proved that is was not pre-recorded but rather captures the spirit of an authentic Armored Core player.

@@akatsukiwolf2735 it definitely not pre-recorded, what I meant (and I may have expressed it poorly as my English level is very questionable) is that what he did would have been a perfect scripted showcase.

[@leonwoo]

Imagine being the captain of the battleship. You see your opposition is just one single AC, and you laugh as his minigun bullets bounce off your ship's armor. Suddenly, he tosses his minigun aside, and jumps straight onto your battleship past all your guns, staring straight down at you through the bridge's window. The last thing you see is the glow of his AC's eyes before a metal fist drives straight through the bridge.

That was pretty. Must be a Gundam VS player

[@JupiterxBlues]

Its assault boost. Apparently works similar to, but not the same as AC4's chain boosting. Which im really glad its not back entirely. I think the main thing here is that it has to be activated and its limited in use. Which is great because spamming chain boosts made multiplayer limited in combat strategy and single player missions were limited to extremely wide and open maps which were mostly boring. Some missions were memorable though. But was hard to remember when we all defeated the bosses in like 5 seconds flat with how OP your AC was in 4 and 4A 🤣 horribly unbalanced. Hopefully AC6 brings back the strategy in building again. And hopefully the missions are more elaborate too. ACV was heading in the right direction and was a better AC experience but I think AC6 looks more like what AC was supposed to be about.

[@onenationunderdog5289]

When I think "reasons why Elden Ring was so insanely successful even From can't pinpoint why", I think of how the game is designed to allow so much variety of gameplay styles, how this translates into skill expression, and ultimately how it doesn't just make a player feel like a "legend" for overcoming the game's challenges, but opens the door to actually *being* a legend in the wider community. Let Me Solo Her was the most visible example of this in Elden Ring. It feels good to see that, just in pre-release promotional material alone, that same philosophy of design is producing new legends. I mean, as hyped as I am for this game, I didn't expect to see a dude casually discard his gatling cannon and fistfight some manner of airship, and *win*, but I now I've seen a stranger casually do just that and now I'm even more hyped.

Yet we gained the oppertunity to pass it and be recognized for it, forsaking all but broken tools, forsaking strange arts to empour and just being stubborn, defeating the hardest boss thousands of times flawlessly and while shes empowered by coop buffs... Speeding up to mach 4 and still knowing what we are doing Effortlessly maneuvering a tank like a goddamn supercar Utilizing strategy to easily win a duel between veterans And then, randomly showing up as if a phantom, downing the number 9 additvely and demonstrating near total mastery of movement in a game he didnt even play yet, to punch the enemy...

I was here, witness the moment where a legend was born

[@dan_noo]

Man deserve more than just a t-shirt...he deserve his own DLC quest line

[@kisat35]

I don't understand a lot about AC since i'm new to this franchise, but the sheer of determination on this guy gave me goosebumps, literally fist fighting a boss. Salute to you, Fireworks of Shibuya o7

[@NightRye_]

i feel like only fromsoftware games get these kinds of community legends

[@Sm00k]

Bold of them to assume audience would be anything but full of Ravens. One could even call it. A Nest.

[@Mannistheorion]

Dude went and showcased the perfect Heavyarms Gundam build for a new game before the release. Friggin chad bro.

[@HKaito]

The Blood of Principal Zeon flows through him. I am really glad that we have FIST mechanics this IS what I was looking for. Fireworks of Shibuya its a badass mech name indeed. Can't wait to meet him on battlefield.

[@cocoadrink_014]

海外からもこうして彼が称えられるのを見ると、とんでもない偉業だったんだと実感する。まさに伝説を作ったんだなと。

[@argnator]

"Why would you put arms and legs on a mech? Just put the same guns on a Tank. It's unrealistic!" Because this is just better.

[@thefiresworddragon927]

Rise high, Raven. Like me, your journey to become the best is only beginning. But everyone knows, old or new, a Raven is still a Raven, and every Raven has the ability to fly high, and reach the top. It's time to fly, Fireworks of Shibuya.

[@procow2274]

This is why a hardcore fan should have been invited to the English event

[@Moe_Infinity]

This guy must've loved using Boost Charge back then lol If you're out of ammo, throw your AC at your enemy.

[@Torque0]

This man dreamed of this every night and now he full filled his dream

[@KisekiFan]

I just finished this mission today and with proper preparation you can breeze this level, I took alot of time prepping but this guy only had a minute of prep time yet he still managed to complete it and looked like a badass doing it, truly a Chad and I salute you sir o7

[@translator-kun]

Fist fighting a space ship is so straight from gundam, when the mc already used all his weapon and then proceed using beam saber but still no effect and in desperation just start punching the enemy boss

[@residenthazard5]

I need to see this man immortalized ingame as a fallen raven in the epicenter of an Arms Fort graveyard. And I'm not talking about just 7 or so AFs.... I'm talking about literal sea of them, requiring us to delve in for a few minutes to discover the Easter egg.

[@morse2511]

You know someone is a Raven vets when the fight feels like a mecha movie scene and not just running randomly. him and his AC deserve to be boss/in trailer someday

[@TastesGoodYo]

This is single handedly the coolest shit I have ever seen in a game's stage demo. No celebs, no flashy lights and sounds, no hype man, just a true fan and now legend showing his skill to everyone.

[@cr0wnin]

So for context why this guy is such a legend, he was given a total of 60 seconds to build a mech in a game he had _never played before_. In the final moments of the fight, he actually ran out of ammo in his guns, which automatically purged them from his AC's system. With nothing else he could do, he was forced to punch down a wholeass PCA heavy warship before it obliterated the missiles he was defending.

[@puddel9079]

Not only did he complete the mission, he did so with style.

[@Yanagi-wn9md]

As a mech lover (gundam specifically) watching him zip around the battlefield at 1:24 made me shed tears. So amazing dude imma get this game

[@dunnoiforgot6483]

''He proceeded to fistfight an airship'' That's metal as F**K !

[@arkekkers]

A barrage of missiles turned into nukes at his disposal, those who lived to tell the tale say his close quarters combat skills are equivalent to taking c4 to the face. Emitting a blazing aura, explosive yet dazzling on the battlefield, locals called him one name - "Hanabi".

[@viddygames2043]

Game isnt even out and we have a "Let me solo her" situation on our hands .

[@CapoeiraBaron]

Is this dude the "LET ME SOLO HER" of Armored Core? What a champ!

[@bombomos]

o7 fly proud and true, you mad bastard. A fist full of metal straight from the depths of hell!

[@manwiththemachinegun]

Good work Raven!
