Can Colin DEFEAT Sensei? 

Until you take his properties

@@art-games6230 Easier said than done. Depending on the map's configuration that could be really difficult to pull it up. Remember, it is not that high tiers have no weaknesses whatsoever, it is about how hard it is to capitalize on those weaknesses to begin with.

9 pests with 9 health capping 9 bases. Sensei turns a map into a damn escape room.

You forgot to mention that the bees have rocket launchers 😂

You know like how Japanese bees fight giant hornets. It completely swarms them with sheer numbers until the hornet dies from heat exhaustion.

But those Zerglings are hard to kill and have INSANE firepower.

unit cap has been increased in quite some maps so it doesn't happen that often anymore.

Colin is in broken tier…, on another mapsdzsz he wouldve destroyed Senseirdzsz (probably).

Due to high-funds' format, Colin can easily amass over a hundred thousand funds on some maps, being equal, if not better, than Hachi in that format. In Tier 0, the two weakest COs are Grit and Sturm. (Sturm is altered from his AW2 state on AWBW)

@@scotterboi9 In high funds, yes. That's quite easy to see. But when you change the format, you also kinda need to make a new tier list. And this isn't high funds so that point is moot. Colin still gets thrashed pretty hard by other CO's in his weight class in normal play. He needs numbers advantages to kill Kanbei's units due to their high defense, which he has trouble getting because his units die so much more easily. Hachi can keep pace with him in teching up and far overtakes him in unit output. Same output problem with Sensei, though instead of getting matched in tech, he gets overwhelmed with cheap fodder that hits shockingly hard. Colin has no choice but to build anti-air, which makes him easy prey for Sensei's mechs and any tanks he might decide to build, which he'll easily be able to afford because all he has to build otherwise are B copters and transports. And yeah, I can see Colin being on pretty okay footing against Grit or AWBW Sturm. But that's still getting bullied by three out of five in his tier, which isn't the greatest. So he's in that tier not because he's actually good in that weight class, but because there's nowhere else to fairly put him.

Soon!

Yeah this is because of comeback mechanics, it sucks that such a detestable mechanic that i absolutely despise (along with RNG) is in 1 of my all-time favorite games of all timerdzsz. 😭

It's not quite as simple as that, all of these CO's get stronger/weaker depending on the map. All of them have the opportunity to be "the best" if the map suits their toolkit. That is why AWBW just throws them all together in the "broken tier". In reality, their power level varies quite a bit depending on external factors. Hachi: Broken on maps with few bases and lots of cities, especially those in hard-to-reach locations where you normally should not be able to reinforce. SenseI: Similarly to Hachi he is broken on maps with lots of cities, but he's also very strong in mixed base. Kanbei: Unbeatable on smaller maps where he can bully his opponent with his insane D2D. Colin: Gets stronger the bigger the map and the more money there is in circulation, in HF he's probably the most broken of them all. Sturm: Dominates on map with tons of rivers, mountains and forests. Grit: Unbeatable on smaller standard maps with choke-points. Some of these CO's also hard-counter each other. -Kanbei wrecks Colin since Colin isn't able to damage his troops. -Sturm wrecks Grit because his recons can zerg down in-directs -Hachi wrecks Kanbei because he can just out-tech him to oblivion

Don't forget Javier with 2+ com towers. Even with just two, he's better than Kanbei.

@@sebastianlucas704 Oh, well yes. I think Mangs demonstrated in a previous video that 2T Javier easily beats even Hachi?

@@Mangs1337 Your Hachi>Kanbei>Colin hard-counter series confuses me. Isn't Colin even better at tech-ups than Hachi?

​@Tzizenorec Yes. But Colin can't break Kanbei's walls because his firepower is lower. So while Colin gets 1.5x funds, Hachi can get what's effectively 2x funds for a turn with his Super while being less limited by bases. And Hachi's units aren't any weaker than average.

I think the "flipped symmetrical" is called "rotational symmetry" (if you rotate the map 180 degrees, you get the same map).

Imagine T0 Global or Live League (not just Kanbei in T1 High Funds at certain >20x20 maps). The amount of FTA (or STA) counter broken by Sturm, Unit count capped by Hachi & Sensei, Power of Money reaching over 9000%, Kanbei & Javier with 2 Comm Tower basically have Medic's übercharge from Team Fortress 2 on HQ/mountain with SCOP and full HP, etc.

One bad thing though, Sensei transport got +1 Range and if you allowed air units? God rest your soul with Sensei B-Copter.

AA are interesting, but the biggest issue with them is that Sensei will never build AA on ground only. The sensei tanks will tear the AA to shreds still particularly when combined with ripped infantry that won't hesitate to attack AA.

@@dstreetz91 They just need to be a part of the strategy. The thing about Sensei's production is that his infantry is built all over the map, which exposes them to potential attacks his limited tank production can't necessarily always cover. If you look at the end-state of this particular match, there's several locations where Sensei's infantry is just completely exposed.

An 8 year old kid vs an 80 year old man, that sounds like an interesting battle

Too difficult to regulate tbh.
