Advance Wars in a Nutshell 

Best part is that this is Actually Pretty Funny.

Imagine Sturm's feelings after he lost to a kid who doesn't even know what an airport is

What's a strategy?

I like how the quote source is also an answer to question 2

@@spindash64 Yeah. That's why this works: it parodies the damn Flanderization.

Dual Strike was a DS game. Hence its name.

DoR will always be memorable to me

Yup Squidward’s Day is Ruined seeing SpongeBob and Patrick having fun playing an Advanced War of Snowball Fights

(Patting my 3DS, with my copy of DoR) Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get a remake one day...

Still believe

Fucking legend

Average Soviet mind

She said it to olaf there a surprise in one of the city in toy box map.

The shift from her second trigger to the nursing home only made it even funnier

I honestly thought the POWER bar would just end up extending until it went off the edge of the screen...

You could say the same thing when pairing Sami and Sensei.

@@Lostcontrolleror sensei and hachi how to reach the unit cap in 1 turn

If i had a nickel for every broken dual strike i would have 11 nickles which is not a lot of money but jesus

@@TheMistermastermario Ok in fairness, Hachi is so comically busted I would take him solo over most dual CO combos, including Sami Eagle. He is quite literally in his own tier.

Sasha does it to tag COs with two balls and a bong

Hawke's power: actual homicide

Hawke is more powerful than we thought, he only uses 1% of his power with Black Wave, 2% with Black Storm and 100% with removing someone from existence.

Nah Sturm is alive i refuse to believe he dead coping hard here

End of Black Hole Rising Remake basically confirms this.

All I want is to live long enough to get my hands on Days of Ruin Remake

@@andregon4366 Oh yeah my favorite.

Hell, even adding the Dual Strike COs as DLC would be nice.

Dual Strike was great lul, we need it back Days of Ruin is hit n miss for me (the CO rework detracts from the experience a bit for me what with their day-to-days largely being too localized to drastically change your playstyle) but it'd be nice to see too -Also NCH gang NCH gang NC-

@@lordmarshmal_0643 I like DoR because it's more balanced. Anti tanks are awesome, aircraft carriers are fun to use, and Battleships can move and fire. The animations aren't that good though.

I mean.... you joke but Hawkes compassion for Drake and then Colin carried hard as fuck during Black Hole operations.

And kills 2 main villains

Colin is my favorite commander to pass the whole game, he was the literal cheat mode to win everything despite his weaker units, needed some macro management but was easy once you master him in Adavance Wars 2.

I laughed my ass off cuz every OG player knows Colin is hands down the best CO and its not even a contest since Kanbe is #2 and gaps everyone else just as hard as Colin gaps him. Happy my lad got some respect even if I did always play Grit anyway.

His bio says that he likes invasions and hates peace. Von Volt just wants to drain the world so he can be immortal. My question is, who the hell fights for these people? "I really feel like he's a leader that can take our country to the next level. He wants us to take over the world so he can live forever, which really oughta address that famine problem our people have been dealing with." "I like this Sturm guy, he makes sense. We're clearly the good nation here, the whole world revolves around us like a black hole, hence our name. The world is full of evil, hence why gotta purge the slate."

Super Famicon wars had a CO whose name is Hetler and looks exactly like you think...I'm pretty sure that takes the cake (He is the 'normal' CO for Green)

​@@matthewshuck5190Great Father from Persona 2 has some snazzy shades though

@@matthewshuck5190Hetler is actually the default CO for Yellow Comet. For Green Earth, it’s Von Rosso

Because it's true. Pain for Hawke mains.

And a lot longer, I hope.

That got me in the first time not gonna lie

Saaaame!

Truer words have never been spoken for Hawke mains

I'm afraid Battalion Wars has gone the way of Buck Bumble. I'm so sorry.

Battalion Wars was too mature for Nintendo kids, sorry.

Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time

Battalion wars my beloved

​@@arisenspirit Yeah, battalion wars was my gateway to strategy games as a kid, loved that game man :/

Technically true! He'd have to be pulling the trigger himself to be the one killing people!

Let's be honest, the reason why sniping is one of the hardest job in the military is that you actually have to shoot people in cold blood whom aren't a threat to you. Killing someone who's not a threat to you in cold blood isn't as easy as Hollywood makes it look. In psychological terms, artillery crew shoot at coordinates on a grid. Point the gun up, fire, and the shell explodes far enough from you you don't even see or hear it. Bomber crews are flying sky-high (literally) and dropping bombs on things too far down to see clearly, let alone see as humans. Fighter pilots shoot at vehicles. Occupied vehicles, true, but they're very rarely close enough to see the people in them. Even tank crews would be considered legally blind if they saw as badly in civilian life as they see the world from a tank. Even infantry has it reasonably easy. It's easier to shoot back at someone who's, y'know, actually shooting at you, than it is to gun down an unarmed guy. Snipers, being hidden and away from the battle, have to gun down people whom are no danger to them. And this is basically a firing squad situation, which is even worse, in psychological term. The kind of situations where soldiers will routinely refuse to shoot unless you load one of the rifles with a blank round, tell them one of the rifles is shooting blanks, but without telling them *which one* is, so hey, 1-in-5 chances of being the one shooting blanks! You could be the lucky guy and have your conscience clean! And Hawke is.. Well... Hawke. Hawke doesn't give a shit.

AW Days of Ruin: Warcrimes all day every day

@@bulldozer281 "Okay, we're gonna rob a bank and probably kill a lot of people, so put on your most intimidating mask!" *puts on BBQ Chef hat, anime girl mask, and chicken head mask* *sigh*

@@ElodieHiras That might explain why Black Hole troopers have covered faces. So the player wouldn't feel too guilty about it in the campaign.

I'm pretty sure I have that power.

@@technic1285 not with that yee yee ass haircut you don’t.

I was looking for the man of culture comment. Thank you, King.

Bookmarking

When I played AW2 as a kid, Hawke had what my brother and I called "black magic". If he ever said "This is the end" or "Farewell" before activating his Super CO Power, he fucking meant it and we'd get wrecked that turn. It became so notorious that I don't even remember what his third quote was.

​@@Antifrost its "i commend you for pushing me this far"

He only sends people to kill

Rivals: We're having a friendly match Afterwards: The place is a wasteland filled with the debris of downed Bombers and Bcopters.

Sonja: Haha I am gathering intel and testing you :3 Casualties: Lots

It’s following Yakuza rules: if the killing didn’t happen in a cutscene, it doesn’t count.

Von Bolt: "If you kill me, you've become a monster like me." Andy: "What's a monster?" *Shoots*

He got a nice haircut.

Yeah, good times. VC is incredibly stingy with S requirements. They could give us more leeway with turns and perhaps deduce points from damage and losses suffered to make us use cover and engineers.

I'm so happy many people love both of those. VC1 is my favourite game of all time and AW is something I put most hours in after pokemon

Oh yeah, Super Robot Wars R had one of those missions too.... Holy shit could you have a monster team by the end of the game.

I wish Sega respected Valkyria Chronicles more. :(

Which mission was that?

Kindle mains when their opponents park on cities.

The Allied Nations work is to just distract enough so Hawk can shoot the current big bad.

His Solution is Gun

​@helmetnurilchicken2932 a truly good one at that.

Honestly no offense to hawke but unless he gets a massive glow up i can't take him seriously as the boss of the bh army not that von is any better but Sturm had that aura that screams final boss

@@gameuniverse5973 I could take Hawke more serious than Von Bolt though. Hawke may not have a final boss aura, but he at least has a threatening aura. Unlike the wheelchair bound old man.

​@@gameuniverse5973Best thing I can think of would be to have him completely take over 1 of the 4 allies land. Like he had Green Earth on the ropes before Jess and other nations arrived. Just start the game with him having legit conquered someone, and waging war all over. They would also need to make Adder better and more competent since he would be Hawke's right hand man (essentially filling Hawke's former shoes) since he was already Hawke's go to guy. Get Lash to make some exclusive Black Hole only weapons to give them an edge (maybe an indirect that can move the shoot like days of ruin battleships could).

​@@Teknanam Wait, Von -Bolt- Bald has an "Aura"? Also the north side of the Dual Strike's Final Mission looks like a Minecraft Flat World. So many slime and plain

Eagle: "Let's have one more battle! Just for fun!" Andy: "Okay!" (both send hundreds of men to their deaths)

@@Eidako Did that really happen? I don't think I got that far in the game.

@@5h0rgunn45 It's an extra stage if you complete the "final" mission with Eagle. Eagle asks Andy for a rematch and he agrees.

@@Eidako Maybe they are War Games exercises. :D

@@Eidako I also love how if you mess up in the final mission of the second game Nell just casually says that the missile only destroyed half of the world (implying billions of lives along with possible long-lasting environmental damage) and to fret not as you can try again. When you win, despite all the apocalyptic terror the world went through - they have a barbecue, most definitely while a bunch of veterans are mourning the loss of family and friends.

Never understood why tf everyone thought it was broken. If I saw it coming I'd always park an AA unit over my HQ and key factories so you can't take over too much of my infrastructure. Wasn't completely foolproof but was usually enough to make them think twice and get my own tag in first.

@@HihiouZabimaru182 It's definitely easier to exploit in single player, but even then the player can use Eagle's turn to clear out any units in the way. Even if there are no airports, Eagle doesn't have weaker ground units, so two actions with a decent enough unit composition should be able to clean up whatever's between them and whatever they want to capture that turn (three actions once you count Sami's, and by that point her weaker direct fire shouldn't be an issue to clear out what's left). Of course, as TheRiceKnight points out, it takes several years to charge it anyway so there is a real drawback and you can prepare for it.

Sami and eagle tag is both overrated and underrated.

would have been even better if the power meter broke out of it's frame

The world has been destroyed "Let's kill the survivors" "Let's continue our war from 20 years ago" "Let's create a virus"

World ended Still has functioning industrial base that can crank out quality military equipment.

i can hear word... wtf

“BANG BANG BANG! I LOVE YOU CRIME GUN!”

Let’s give this CO +50% attack in a game where damaged units deal less damage. What could go wrong?

Real talk time, the main theme of Advance Wars 1 is also Max’s theme. Crank it on max and watch your tanks blow the map in half.

Phase 1: Infantry rush the Silos. Phase 2: Break the Black Cannon before Orange Star freakin' dies Phase 3: Draw units out from around the Black Obelisk (and keep Orange Star from dying) Phase 4: When Orange Star finally isn't dying, hit the Obelisk full-force.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh still stuck in that mission since i have i forgot about the game annoying

​@@a-s-greigoh yeah it nice when I am not getting railed hard by the fact if they get even one you lose

Andy's not the leader of Orange Star. Nell is.

@@Posby95 Hence why I said 'Leaders/Main characters'. Andy is not the leader of Orange Star but he was definitely the most prominent Orange Star C.O. In Advance Wars 1 and 2.

From what I observed, they have the clones from those who aren't active in the Allied Nations, probably busy in their own countries.

Is an space marine

You take that back. Jugger is way better than Flak. Flak is worse than having no CO, while Jugger is a lifestyle

@@aprinnyonbreak1290 Nah. Jugger is just Flak doing cosplay.

If Von Bolt is Sturm lite, then Jugger is Flak lite.

Stolos!

...fascinating.

Kindle out there with the unspoken rizz

Was really expecting Sturm to come back at the end spamming his remote with the text: and then everyone die

Its a spin off so it does not count

@@TheMaxsherwin3000 *reboot

Check the description...

Lol

NOT SO FAST, Rong Rong you nearly killed Mangs.
