I remember building off his schematics because it was so good right out of the box! And the reason you keep getting S ranks is because of the relatively low ammo cost since you're firing rifles and sparely using grenades; then his primary armor is high which he doesn't take damage as easily. There's only a few tweaks the player can make to turn him into the perfect AC for any mission! Nice run ACL! ^_^
Thank you love ark and ah i see. I honestly don't know much about the cost of weapons ammo, but boy this was the most relaxed and fun run i have done to date.
No wonder why Berlioz was the top dog. He wasn't just the best, he was consistent. His craft practically cleans house without going all out. Makes me shudder thinking on what-if Berlioz had decided to take things a little more seriously during his fight that day.
Dread to think and Anatolia mercenary really was the only one who could stop him. Which make you think no wonder he became such a legend later on in life.
i fell in love with this F-1 inspired craft the moment AC4 trailer appeared, and she did not disappoint. great performance & sexy mech design. Supplice will always be in my heart. thanks ACL!
I pretty much went through my first playthrough with the same weapon setup aside from the flare shoulder units. The grenade launcher just cleans house, and the rifles really are just solid weapons to get through the missions.
Consistent performance. Some trouble with some bigger targets, but that was bound to happen. However, if you are looking to thin the numbers and kill a NEXT at the same time, Supplice is the craft to do it.
I see Berlioz as the black knight of AC4. Highly skilled, ambitious, above the rules of using company parts, the way he waits in darkness during the intro.. vary cool. Really feel he should have been a boss similar to White Glint. Supplice itself is an example of classic FromSoft simplicity, or rather how their design encourages certain equipment and you really don't need anything fancy. I've since imported Supplice into AC4A and had a showdown with White Glint as well as recreating it in AC6 where it continues to perform well.
Yes i do feel from could have done more with supplice. But then again he made his impact really as thinking about it with him being this skilled and Anatolia's merc being able to take him down. It certainly set up the stage for white glint being this powerful lynx who's rank does not really show thier true skill.
Thanks rreckin and i would agree the frame is art. Honestly as i said it really was a fun time with supplice, but i gotta step away otherwise i might not use another frame and build ha ha.
This is basically what I ran in AC6 to S-rank missions. Turner or Scudder + Ludlow + Earshot and maybe a choice compact missile launcher on an all Elcano frame. It's just hard to beat. 👌🏼
Yo, short answer: *YES YOU CAN.* The Supplice is simply an amazing AC as the primal armor is very good and the ammo is very nice that helps deal with the challenge of the cost. The two rifles are a fantastic combination as they compliment each other very well, the flares is very useful in combat and the ogoto grenade cannon is so op that it makes very short work of missions. I do use a reverse custom of the Supplice, making it white and the Ogoto on the other side. This just goes to show why the Supplice is a force to be reckoned with and why he is number one during the LYNX war. Great video!!!
This AC works so much better if have the Marve and grenade on the same side. That way when it runs out you can still fire two weapons at the same time.
@@armoredcorelore yeah I get that was the challenge lol honestly I think it's weird how many of the enemy ACs have set ups like this that limits their potential in battle. Another one I can think of off the top of my head was the BFF quad with the owl emblem that pops up in 4A as well. Has the sniper rifle and cannon on the same said preventing you from using both at the same time.
@@bgonzales817 Does make you wonder if it was done on purpose. Maybe an ai issue about not being able to fire both a once? Or just design choices, fashion core.
They should absolutely remaster 4 and for answer for the current generation not only for more people to play them but also not have to rely on emulators or fork out loads of money on a rare game for the PS3.
Love how the top ranked Original earn his title, proving it through his AC's performance. Guess it goes to show that if it weren't for the skill of Anatolia's Mercenary (and perhaps his allies), the Closed Plan would have gone down without a hitch by the time of AC4. Awesome video, plus it was surprisingly funny how this one AC basically trivializes the game. I also pity the fool playing a drinking game to how many times "S rank" is mentioned in this video alone. Wonder how well the Dessert Wolf, and the original White Glint can manage, though I'll gladly wait for their turn to come up. After all, there are still a lot of AC's left to try. Seeing this video also made me wonder how often Ravens, Lynx, and Mercenaries in general modify their mechs for their assignments, or if its simply something only the protagonists, and a few others bother doing, adding to their success rates, because they actually bother to adapt to the needs of the mission instead of sticking to one specific method.
Oh supplice certain made this a cake walk. I admit i think you can hear surprised i was to keep having to say s rank and really having not a lot to say about missions. But you ask a good question there as we do see some ravens change thier loadouts throughout a game like Zinaida and Jack O. But i think we kind of limited lore wise by game limits. But it is suggested that a lot of lynxs were not allowed to buy other parts from corporations in this period which messed with modification.
@@armoredcorelore Heh, yeah I could tell how your expectations changed during the video actually, which made it all the more entertaining. Was even able to visualize you performing a variation of the "Leaning Forward In Chair Diagram"' on the few occasions that you actually had to redo some missions, only to still get an S rank, or at worst, an A rank. Thanks for the clarification that its not really shown how many AC's across the games change their loadouts too. It does make sense that corporations don't want their Lynxes using parts of rival companies since it more than likely makes their products look inferior by comparison if their own pilots would rather rely on the tech made by cooperate rivals. Although I still like to ponder on how often other characters across these games plan out their loadouts before each mission. Some taking a long time to decide on which parts, and weapons to use when reading their assignment briefing, and others just going "!@#$ it, We Ball" when taking a mission. Also how many that are tied to a company end up complaining about not being able to customize their AC to their fullest potential.
@@C-Master109 Oh honestly i think red rum is a a classic duck it i'm going out with what i have. She could be fighting flying foes as she'd still be trying to shoot them out the sky with her shotgun.
@@armoredcorelore Haha, I could see that. Shamir is your favorite right? Would be fun to see how your skills measure piloting her NEXT. Can't wait to see you testing out how far Red Rum can possibly go in AC4A while Precious Park jams in the background.
I will say not begin accustom to the faster pace of AC4 and FA, was definitely some of the cause for me not doing too well on some missions. But surprisingly using Supplice frame as my base (without realizing it was him) and changing out the balancing, reactors, thrusters, fcs, and weapons basically carried me through both AC4 and FA. Also, i always thought that Supplice was the player AC and it's design and colors were the reason for the name of Raven. Keep up the great work on the videos.
I mean to be honest i think without a player character, Supplice and Berlioz would have been the main character of the story. An ace lynx who has him own team of elites, sounds like something of an rpg MC.
@@armoredcorelore definitely would be interesting to have an AC game where we can actually side with individual corporations/factions and our choices of missions have a larger impact on the progress and ending of the game, or even stay as a mercenary and not side with anyone like how most of the Raven pilots from the generations have done.
Nice play thru! I found the Supplice build to be a heavy hitter but not necessarily a heavy weight. While it doesn't have the mobility of a kite-build, it is pretty close. The low ammo cost is a nice plus. I'm really enjoying these play thru runs. Great post!
Outside of changing out the internals and the MARVE for something else as well as adding missiles, this is what I run in 4 and 4A. The thing can carry it's weight.
Supplice is THE Next in my mind, even more so that White Glint or Nobless Oblige. To the point that my main AC in 6 is a twin rifle biped with a cannon. Even in the giant robot ttrpg, Lancer, my first mech was a Supplice expy.
Some Nexts that might be more of a challenge: White Glint, Orleans, Roughcut, Bogomol, Primitive Light, Kurumugakari, Fevered Flow, and BARBAROI. IIRC, I've tried a Barbaroi run on hard, but the craft was too slow, fragile, and ran out of ammo on certain missions.
I'm honestly not too surprised that this Next performed well, especially since dual-wielding rifles is basically the Meta of the Gen 4 AC games, although I do agree that the countless S ranks were a little silly... Runs that I'd be interested in seeing are: Primitive Light (Menno Ruh), Ciliegio (Kasumi Sumika) and Memento Mori. (Aabye, especially this guy since his Next is a personal favorite of mine)
Wow, when making that suggestion about using some of the top level ACs I expected a run like this to go well enough, but I would have never seen this coming. Thanks for going with the idea. :D Maybe I should try some of the other pilots' mechs sometimes instead of always relying on home-brews.
No problem it was a fun run. I admit the s rank pile up was a surprise to me, but a nice easy video capture session for me it was. And oh you should. While i do like my own next lore, its been fun to see what other nexts are like.
The most difficult mission i say imo to play as supplice is the "Pillar of Light" mission. The Ehernberg PA defenseses where thicc as hell. Unless there was a way to reduce its thicc PA.
Gotta say, I really love this series you got. It's really fun seeing how these NEXTs preform in the campaign. If you accept suggestions, one NEXT I'd be interested in seeing is Karyon (as Mrs. Theresia's only fan), which I've always found to be an interesting AC.
Go for it, i find these runs a nice break from lore videos and thank you ha ha. Honest it was a whole day of me looking up different pronunciations and in the end I went with the Collins dictionary one.
Always tried to use the most viable AC in to replay the entire game and making some tweaks to some parts. Also it seems that nobody doesn't seem care about the FRS memory mod
@armoredcorelore armored core 4 is different unless someone made a save editor for the game as for ACfa there is a existing save editor for it. Not if it's compatible with ps3 saves tho. But basically the frs memory modded triples the slots basically 150 memory in each slot
Ive done this using a skin mod on AC6 to mod the Aaaliyah parts and a rifle and assault rifle and one of the Grenade Cannons into the MARV, 051, and the Ogoto. It's scary how good Supplice's build is on AC6 almost the entire way though.
You know after doing this run through, i can see why. Supplice is quite the craft and if it can make nexts look silly, armored core should be no problem.
God, what a stunning design - a standout even in AC4/A’s excellent mechas. The HOGIRE/Noblesse Obliege might be the original, but the Aaliyah is the masterpiece and the true face of AC4.
I will say for the beginning this is like the best starter and the boost especially the quick boost it so good but the energy drain wow it like a vampire getting his life blood sucked out I mean when it in the air o just drain on constant boosting
It's fine dude, it's just strange as its certainly one of the strongest NPC builds in the game. If you want to challenge yourself, I'd go with one of the more gimmick NPC builds.@@armoredcorelore
@@armoredcorelore in 4A I switched to the White Glint parts for my second and third playthroughs because of fashion core. But that's only if I wasn't using the Aaliyah or a dedicated dual melee build with triple rocket launchers.
Supplice is one great looking Formula One ca- I mean, Armored Core. Too bad the Kotobukiya model kit is expensive, too many tiny parts you can lose, needs copious amounts of glue and isn't really stable.
