Armored Core: Can you Beat Armored Core 4 as Critique?

Time to take the aldra beast out for a run.

[ProtoSonic]

The Raven and Sherring were quite alike in many ways... including their fates at the bottom of the ocean, Ironically... Deep sea fish loves you forever, indeed.

[ACFoxeye]

The moral of this story is that Aldra didn't fuck around when designing the HILBERT and SOLDNER.

Glad you did this video.

if i remember correctly, the Laura actually has synergy with AS missiles like the Lamia because AS [auto-sight] missiles do not use the lock-on system, the missiles are launched forward and automatically seek the closest viable target, including other missiles. it's why Vero Nork uses the Laura FCS: it uses only AS Missiles so it doesn't need ANY points invested in missile lock on ability

Critique is one hard-hitting EN-Next, that 23 second kill is NO surprise against Asyut Minya! Good work sir!

[doomzilla]

Ah Sherring, one of the most powerful opponents to face in the LYNX war and boy does his NEXT shows why he is so dangerous. Packing two extremely powerful weapons and quite a powerful NEXT he shows why he's a force to be reckoned with as an original. With that set, you can easily breeze most missions with some that will prove challenging but will succeed.

"Can you Beat Armored Core 4 as Critique"

I mean, I don't know, the last time someone tries to critique AC4, their main concern was the game having four separate booster.

[MrWaifuTaker]

Sherring was always shredding me unless I packed the Ogotos on me.

[NotDaender]

I feel like this craft and White Glint deserve to be put through their paces in AC4 once more...but in Hard mode!

[Errorcutive]

Energy guns does PA Piercing easy. Combine that with a Aldra Hilbert frame and what you get is Peak Superior German Engineering. To me the Hilbert is like the tiger 2 of mech haha best when things arent as fast in AC4 but somewhat outdated by ACFA with newer model like argyros showing up.

I like the head tho. OG Gen 3 Crest Eye series head vibe

[TKUltra]

Lol we called him the "Fat Boy". No White Glint but still fun as a unlockable.

[chillzaa]

I know that he's the menace when Canopus is one of his weapons.

[Toshinben]

You know, I think Sherring was the hardest single pilot to fight in AC4. It's weird they send you after him when your only victories up to that point (on normal mode) were Barbaroi and Asyut Minya. And the Barbaroi fight was you ambushing a pilot that was half-dead from psychic stress. Why would GA have you go after the most dangerous possible enemy first?

My theory: GA knew they had no chance at the corporate war if Sherring was alive, given his skill and GA Nexts' vulnerability to energy weapons. Even GA's allies Rosenthal and Omer had no single Next that could take him on. They knew they had to take him out before they could make any major moves. GA intelligence had been tracking his movements, and the situation where Sherring was damage from a battle, with few allies, in a remote area with no reinforcements, was the best chance they had of taking him out. It wasn't a good chance, and everybody probably thought the player would lose, but there was no other option.

What would have happened if Sherring had stayed alive? He would have single-handedly turned the tide of the conflict and might have personally hunted down a number of GA/Omer/Rosenthal Nexts. The only weapons that could have probably taken him out - Sol Dios and Fermi Aerial Fortress - would be on his side. Since he's not a merc, I imagine he'd always have some form of escort with him, making ambushes difficult.

I also like seeing the silent avalanche somewhat live up to its hype for once. I don't go with heavy mechs that often and found SA to be a joke most of the time. To me 4A does a much better job at this, delivering a target that lives up to what's been said in the briefing. Like with Motherwill, I get why that didn't get taken down before.

[cyansung-sun]

Man, just how on god's green earth do you keep breaking even on Swarm of Red Eyes? Seeing an S Rank yet getting no money makes me feel like Swinburne's emblem.

[YukitoOnline]

Silent Line's Big White but way Faster and doesn't use 2 handed Beam Gun.

Waiting for Orleans video.
Hope it's on Hard mode for lore accurate Anjou.
Gotta fight more NEXT. lol

[SmugLookingBarrel]

Currently attempting a challenge called:
"Can you buy Armored Core 4 as a human in 2024?"
...So far seems like the answer is no.

[metalwolfzx]

I always thought Sherring was intended to be a nod by Fromsoft to AC players, the main reasons I think are his backstory as a former Raven and his Next using the Gen 4 equivalent of the Karasawa.

[azurespectrum]

Happy Sunday, and thanks again for another enjoyable video!!

[bgonzales]

This one badass next. Karasawa (canopus) just wrecks everything. Actually used this AC to S rank 4.

[Lyvein]

going for the 100% way back when. this next was my bane as it was his mission and elimination where the only things that kept me from the s ranks. at the time i was cheesing with the dual sirius back laser cannons, but with high energy defense I was boned. and his stupid "not karasawa" kept destroying me. eventually I felt really bad cause i was only able to S rank using kojima cannons for instant kills. felt a little dirty.
