Pinch Out is TERRIBLE, Here's Why 

Cope + Seethe + Mald + L + ratio + who asked + cry about it + get good + Italian + en player + Peak Out is awesome + pinch my balls + womp womp

Pinch out is what happens when people call CC easy

Forgot to mention that the stage at high difficulty outruns AN INFINITE DURATION SKILL. HOW DO YOU MAKE A STAGE SO BORING THAT SKADI BECOMES TIRED OF FLOATING.

Yup, most of ak player that played pich out will definitely agree with 3 things : 1. The UI looks is awesome 2. The UI is confusing af to navigate 3. That goddam hp tag

Supah instantly going from AK's most hated to most loved with this one

I will be real, this event is meaningless, it serves ZERO purpose, HG should kill this event... in around 9 days

Casual players like me who are here for the story and collecting pngs will just not engage with a mode when it's so convoluted and unreasonably stacked against the player. I got the new robot and the skin for Justice Knight and noped out of there faster than scientifically possible.

Yeah the 1-tile challenge was kinda cool to try out. Lobby music is great too.

6:25 Me before this map: "I wouldn't normally support eugenics, but whichever underpaid chinese developer made this bullshit needs to have their testicles twisted like a pretzel with cerebral palsy to ensure man made horrors like these are never brought upon this sick and twisted godless world" me when the mode was out: "omg! 1 deployment limit gimmick :D"

The fact we need the help of Oyuki-sensei, not for a max risk, but to understand a challenge mission, tells you already this wasn't properly thought out.

I remember that one video about the guy that started playing at 8 pm in this new game mode. He's still playing at 11 pm not because of the difficulty, but because of the enemy refusing to die. I've never played in this CC game mode since I started playing around the time CC12 released but I can tell that they didn't playtest this.

+ good side stage + better clear UI, cooler too - everything else supah said - everything else supah said (2) - and everything else supah said (3) when any mode kinda forces u to use Mlynar, it is a shit-for-brains design

I'm a new player, my plan was simple: pull Goldenglow from the event banner and then do the bare minimum to get some resources I tried fiddling around with this and noped out after 1 day. Thank you AK but I will wait for the next event At least I got my pink electric kitty :3

The bitching is the best part tho Supah! Sometimes we need some negativity.

I think you should give the end of your videos a pinch out clear screen where you call us ingenious strategists to really drive that engagement.

the scrolling 'quite a bit' is a major inconvienence when trying to show someone else what risk you took. I've seen a few guide makers takes on trying to handle this but its a problem. personally when going for the 100 in all categories achievement I had to peck and remove risks because they weren't sorted in any way to make it easy to find risks by category. Oh, yeah 'don't actually do anything' maybe if they were logical in some way I could have found them using logic. I consider the main stage HP bloat an issue, but not an issue with POO, its an unrelated issue with level design, which could be moved to chapter 12 boss and his 5 different invulnerability phases you just have to sit thru. I got risk 600 without dealing with 4 million HP robots (using a guide) the reason you get the 4 million HP robots is the UI is...not good. so yes, I fully agree the UI is not good, and theres a problem with the base map Level design. but the base map level design is not an issue with POO. since I can get 600 points on a 3 month old account in a 5 minute clear.

The real question is why global has to repeat all the mistakes CN had, HG just no brain copypastes everything to global without actually fixing any of the criticisms they receive from community, you could probably make an entire video on that topic alone. Edit: like, I think whats going on CN rn is that they just BROUGHT BACK CC but made the shop awfully bad, and when they recieved the backlash from community they put out a hotfix that made some changes to the shop. Will we just get that CC as it was on release and if community doesn't react just never get a fix for it? Will we still get a hotfix after a delay like it was on CN? Will we just get the new CC already with that fix implemented? I'm so confused.

1:32 potato PC join the chat😅

Like, I love the smaller challenge like that 1 with 1 deployment limit, but the main stage is just outrageous with the amount of timing and ops you actually need to actually reach 600.

I like two things about Pinch Out. We got a Robot and that one operator at a time side stage was fire. My main problem with CC and especially Pinch Out was how often it feels like a stat stick. It doesn't feel good to get bludgeoned to death by numbers. I like good maps that mix up brain things. Operator class dp increases, enemy additions, map changes, and fun things like the 1-p relay risk are interesting with only a few stat redistributions to place importance on an area/enemy/style.

The main map aside I totally fell in love with the other one. Except Yato alter and Texalter and maybe SA my operators aren't meta and I'm kinda braindead to begin with which made the side map much more enjoyable than all the CCs I've played. I think the fact that a buff or two were given to you made things much more fun. I could use my SA as fast redeploy and have Hellagur deal with the crocs. It made me pull out my Dorothy which was collecting dust and most importantly it made me change my strategy (consisting of stalling with mudmud and Saria) completely useless.

Agreed the ui design was terrible and the difficulty wasn't really mechanically interesting. Got my 600 medal before the "daily" maps unlocked but it was pretty much brute force with level 90 units. The first rotating map with the single deploy risk was fun though.

I spent 50 minutes waiting for surtr, ifrit, mlynar, texalt and lin to kill the last 3 robots

Pinch out's UI design alone made me drop this event and never look back

I did the 300 sanctuary points challenge and it was absolutely horrendous how long it took to kill those rocket guys, even longer than annihilation. The part that blew my mind was they set another challenge for 540 points and I knew something was wrong with this event.

They named this mode perfectly. Pinch Out Operation = POO.

I just hate the fact that despite them reviving CC back on CN they are still using the pinch out ui wich SUCKS ASS Whoever tought making a random ass ladder with random symbols was a better idea than a simple screen needs to be fired immediately

yall do NOT want to know where the source of these Gummy images are

Młynar also does a measly 124 damage to the gundams too, lol

If you wonder how bad this event is there's a 8 hours clear video in Bilibili. That show how bad it is. At least the new CC season 2 a bit easier than this, still have bad ui and bad reward but we're not dealing with 3M hp enemies

I was too scared to even have a tutorial try. Good Lord... Thank you for saving me some nerves, SUPAH

Honestly, I've really enjoyed the daily maps. And the main map and risks are intriguing, but the truly bloated tags (like 1000% HP) or auto-firing rocket bots wiping the screen unless you use very specific ops ruin it.

Gotte love Supahs' "~e" after every other word

SUPAH is so real for this

This is laterally hell 2.0 💀

Best part of the event was when they released IS3 expansion pack so people didnt drop the game

you totally want to share that uhh...peculiar gummy image...

I really dont underatand why they replaced cc with this, its pretty much the same thing. It follows the exact same structure cc did: You pick your own difficulty, high risk is challenging (though in po you just afk for an hour) and the best part about it are the dailys. This "new" mode is just cc but way worse.

Honestly, I want a another content creator like Supah who's always being critical to developers but in another game, like FGO. That thing is riddled with out of date QoL, because there's always majority of players who defended Lasengle.

I wanted to argue at first but, yeah RA would have been a lot better if it wasn't so confusing

Recently i have been getting into guilty gear music, and I discovered that one of the tracks is called "the ship". It is now my favourite guilty gear soundtrack, 7 places above the Circle. As for pinch out, my experience with the mode was sitting through the tutorial because i misclicked trying to get into stultifera navis, and wondering if its worth stealing the penance 1op clear from i think blemichi to get stuff from the shop. So far the answer is no.

Indeed, the first map was far more interesting. Far more interesting than MW3’s campaign.

That Gummy holding Jigglypuff is very cute

The only problem this mode for me is how risk works for example if im just want 50% atk for da enemies but im have to activate the other 10% atk first in order just activite the risk that im want😫

You know a mode is bad when there's literally only 1 way to clear 600 until the daily maps show up...

I miss old CC. For the first time in almost four years I got burn out. Pinch Out is first event that I almost fully ignored - I tried it on day 1 and dropped it. I NEVER thought that such thing will happen to me.

had no idea this was a new CC, I thought it was just another event I could put off till the last day lol

The event is cheap because ut doesn't do anything other than increasing HP and DMG, they don't give the mobs SPD increase, more Block Count, More Range and overall more stuff. Imagine having a horde of Guerrilla Tanks giving your OPs global range so they are forced to attack them across the map while Dogs go to the blue box, imagine said Dogs split on death like in R6S event while other mobs split like in Lin event. Imagine a new mob that grabs other mobs and throw them across the map at set locations, said mob can be given a risk that makes them grab the boss of the stage and throw them like 3 squares from the blue box, what about a mob with a shield that makes the attack it receives to bounce around your allies like how Andoain special AA works, a special stage that change the location of the blue box at set intervals, a city like stage where there is a "Rush Hour" where a train comes in the middle of the stage to drop like 20-30 mobs all together, a jungle like stage where various things happen at random times, a tremor that briefly stuns your OPs, a rain that makes the mobs slippery so they not only move faster but some even clash with corners and get stunned while others cannot be blocked while it rains, an animal stampede similar to how Talulah's fire ball wave works, a landslide changing the terrain and the mobs path to the blue box, a stage with a giant claw machine that grabs your OPs and can even drop them on top of other OPs, forcing the retreat of the OP below while making the grabbed OP take that position (yes, even if the OP is melee and the retrated OP is ranged), a stage where your OPs cannot attack mobs of their same race, a stage where the boss spawns first and chooses which OP you would deploy first and even the order at which you deploy your team, a stage with a game master that lights up tiles on the map where you need to place your OPs or they instantly die, a blackout stage where there are machines that light up the whole stage only when a Mechanic or Lighting based OP hits them, a holographic stage that just change the stage as a whole at intervals while another stage makes you see the past, present and future version of the stage with it's respective mobs changing alternatively. Lack of creativity doesn't exist, only lazyness.

As a player who joined after CC 12, this small event is a fresh experience for me. I do Training Grounds but that's just a teaser. Selecting of the tiles can be a little messy, but you can quick select from the challenge interface, or for me, just click the symbols according while having guide video paused. As for stat stick enemies, I believe it's not necessary to select those specific tiles for medals? I've seen clears without stalling and with low rarity with support, so all these complaints might be from people brute-forcing 600 on early days? Well, I follow Kyostinv's guides and he said to wait for tiles to unlock for easier clear. Hopefully. 🙏 So far no issue with my E1 pleb team with support unit (just recently got E2 Eyja and Mountain but no chance to deploy yet)

Pinch Out is terrible, in other news, every 60s in Africa, a minute passes.

Pinch out feel like it was created on friday evening with deadline on monday and people making it were also drunk

What I would like to know is why did CC need to change? Who complained about CC that HG needed to turn it into POO?

im no smart and often use guide for most cc but just after trying out PO-op barely to get mech infused char aznable, i easily point out that the only strategy here is only brute force and stat stonks. how? because i dont have mlynar, chelter or whatever balans there is

"2. it ends, 3. it is not reclamation algorythm" are the only two good things about pinch out. I don't even like the end screen UI and hell I miss the CC banger songs. I used to just listen to them while choosing my risks until I forgot about starting the mission or why I'm even there, so good were the bangers. Pinch out reminds me of how much I can hate. And that's it.

To be honest my college degraded monke brain logged in and saw this event and didnt play it for 3 days then just monke brained the stages without reading shit, randomly selecting difficulties then trying again but the Water lily pad stage actually got some braincells running.

i genuinely would like to hear you give your opinion in literally any other games like this

Literally opened the event screen the day it launched, saw the ui, closed it, and haven't opened it again since. I'm fairly certain I could get the medals but this event just creates a feeling of apathy from me. Maybe I'll feel up to bothering with it in a few days

Supah снова выдал базу 👍

I adjusted stuff to get inescapable dream challenge twice and didnt' get everything it wanted, so then I gave up. I could have googled it or just check a bunch more of the surrounding boxes but I was like fk this shit im out. I didn't play this event much. I did a couple of the daily maps because getting the challenges for those wasn't too difficult and ofc got the free robot/skin. I just didn't have time to spend over an hour on a 600 stall strat or learning some other guide off youtube

I got to 600 with the help of Gummy s2. Turns out, having her tank then become the best ST healer while Mlynar schwimg schwing is really good

Pinch Off is too confusing and I want CC back

I did a stall 600 point run using the extra R-11 power armor and I had to sit there for like 2 hours spamming skills. Worst time I ever had in this game.

I remember writing in reddit a simple comment telling that UI of events (SN in this moment) are always confusing and unnecesary overdesigned. Negative karma dont know bottom.

"At least its not Reclamation Algorythm" Congratz Pinch Out! You`re a turd with sparkles sprinkled on top!

Of all languages, Supah uses the language of Straight Fax.

This Medal broke me I was screaming at my phone screen for 20 attempts because i refused to use guides aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Too many nodes are just stat changes, and when you select a lot of them, especially HP for enemies + attack down for you, enemy EHP becomes stupid. It doesn't really make a stage any harder past a certain point when you can block all enemies, just way more annoying to clear.

The only reason I max out my gummy she can mathematically stun lock enemy if you give her enough attack speed.

Sitting here for almost 2 HOURS while I wait for a couple of robots to die is defiantly not my definition of fun. Found out Unlimited Duration skills are not unlimited and do infact need to be reset eventually, and despite using Mlynar "Delete button" Nearl, it made me feel like I was using a level 1 unit jfc. I didn't even do 600, I did the 500 something, so if I want the metal my dumbass is going to have to sit there for another 2 hours occasionally clicking a button!

Just wanted to say I watched SUPAH a little bit too much that I actually maxed my Gummy Mod3 S1M3 E270 within 10 minutes (For people with weak mind like me,) be careful of subliminal hypnotism

4:21 where can i find that mouse cursor ?

Actually, the 4mil HP robots are the least problem - it just means you are supposed to outlive and leak them - admitedly, they might as well put "indestructible" tag on them, to make it more clear.

personally I didn't mind the UI much, just remove the whole jojo stand power ranking shit and the challenge that took me 10 mins to understand what I was meant to do and another 20 to find the right tags to reach the points required. also that map was boring, but its not like every CC map was a banger, it happens

I had a dream where there was a multiplayer mode in arknights and the menu was so bad I got so lost and couldnt play with my friend and felt like an absolute idiot. The funny thing is that the design of pinch out is worse than it lol

I like a stupidity hard challenge in this game once in a while

Stalling robots for literal HOURS. 10/10 game mode, pls don't fcking do it again.

This is WHY people say CC is Easy so they decide experiment HIGH HP POOL MECH

Leaving this comment because i left a different comment on a different video about the 50 morbillion hp robot in pinch out and this was at the top of my home page when i refreshed.

I feel so dumb that this is the video that made me realize your videos are parodies

bruh I didn't even know you can select further back risks. I was selecting left to right lol.

That Salas skin event was a nightmare enough I didn’t even continue this one after first try

Tbh, I enjoy the side map than the main map :) Also agree, the first side map is fun 😂

Im just glad they didnt permanent it like SSS, but anyone who has used the CN time machine knows CC is coming back anyway. also those stupid points with different symbols means you have to check every block to get the 100 in each symbol mission because two of them max out just above 100 if you pick everything

4:40 does Fics mean foot pics in the bookmarks?

As a one month old player I found this pretty fun. Not so much the main map which suffered from HP and damage bloat (no way I'm getting the 540 points) but the side maps had really cool gimmicks and challenges, which for someone who's been stuck in the boring Chapter 5-6-7 maps, were very enjoyable. The UI is kind of confusing though, I have to agree, but overall I like this gamemode more than the current CC.

Supah try to make a positive vid challenge (IMPOSSIBLE) (GONE WRONG)

Finally my most loved ak youtuber

I was confident that AK would never find something I hate more than SSS.... I've been proven wrong, and since I've been procrastinating, I'll have to do both this and SSS this weekend. -.- I didn't like Reckanation Algorythm either, but I could just turn my brain off and spam attempts till I got a base to work with. The last 2-3 days were actually somewhat fun, as my base did it almost alone.

Wait, since I know it was garbage and somehow got friston from recruitment robot tag the day it opened I was going to completely skip it like I did with RA, am I missing something important or just materials?

Honestly I was a little startled people weren't just ousting through this. But I didn't really feel the need to complete the medals and stage. Feels weird because something like reclamation algorythm you could at least see being a long-term kinda stage like IS but because it's limited time why would you grind it. It's just challenge stages so it's not really a bad thing, people can use it to break or whatever.

I really really hate the new ui, dunno why they changed it

6:46 i don't know why but SUPAH say that word has meaningful thing to my ears 😊

May be I a coping but I actually enjoy this CC. The robot with ridiculous amounts of HP and Dorothy who can oneshot everyone I treat it as a kind of environmental hazard, like those enemy purpose is to be avoided. Tbf if HG make the robot not reduce life point when entering the blue box, it will be so much more fun.

On day one . . . I cant do 600 score coz I dont have Ice Cream Queen and Golden Swing Swing. I have to wait and "HOPE" for those "CLOSE TAG" I can pick and play. finally. today I can do 600 score coz those tag I waiting for are buff for Dorothy. PS. Mr.SUPAH . . . I didn't hate you at all, I love your VDO so much. It's just a difference point of view.

i don't play arknights anymore i just wanna say lappland super hot

The UI is the worst part, but it's also pretty annoying that all you get for figuring it out is a boring stallfest

I didnt Even ever touched this event

I got the skin and new robot and noped the F out of the event. For context I am end game min max player with nearly every six star maxed and I complete CC perma map day 1. This event is just not fun.

The clear screen is beautiful. That's pretty much all I like about it over CC.

I legit spend 40 minutes on the 600. That's some BS right there
