SUPREME COMMANDER EPIC #91- 4V4 Ladder on Delta Riva 

that's a reference to a character from warhammer 40k, am I wrong?

@@lelieutenant7386 Star Wars. Darth Vader to some rebels, to be precise.

@@OneBiasedOpinion thank you

@@lelieutenant7386 Indeed it's Star Wars. Though it has been memed by Barry Walts. So understandable you thought it was 40k :D

"The only thing I am surrounded by is inferior tech."

The man is _insane._

🤣👌╰(*°▽°*)╯

i was thinking the same. why is the video 1 hr when it was just willow. and a massive turn around Once again

While Willows' performance of it was insane, this game also highlights what I hate most about Supcom (and which practically no other RTS has) - that you can turtle up even in a ridiculously tiny section of the map (he had like 1% of the map wtf) and STILL hit back at your opponents all the way across the map. That just should not be a thing imo. And it is only because of ONE weapon - artillery. Nukes can be defended from pretty easily, but artillery spam is just oppressive in this game. It really should be nerfed big.

@@ArawnOfAnnwn I don't think so, willow got very lucky. He was gifted everything he needed to pull this off. 1 Tele stike from comms or support comes would have ended him. Arty / mass tactical too would have ended him. Mass nukes also, the other team thought they had won and stopped trying as hard as they needed too.

I don't use the FAF mod, they didn't change it so you have the build trees of the other factions with the completion of the "Exp Resource gen"? You just ment to include, It was because he was gifted/capture a unit/factory of the other factions. The Aeon/Cybran or Aeon/UEF combo has always been a scary pairing. Matches just don't get to this lvl or last long enough to be this impressive =D Still been in a few matches where the AEON player has built another Exp Resource gen to gift to others with the same resaults. Still WillowWisp is making a name for themselves. I LOVE how it shows other how creative you can be in this game. Another reason SUPCOM is still the "KING of the hill" for RTS in my mind. If it was only updated with the UI of ZERO-K and better A.I and multicore support so large action net code wasn't the bottle neck it is currently. I'll say the gaming industry would have to put the crown on Supcom officially and say long live the KING =P

@@MacCosmic yes, of course he was gifted a Cybran engineer. However having a Paragon and pumping out vast numbers of Colossi and Czars is also a good way to end a game; in fact they were critical here to defending the tiny base, and the Czar can be a game ender due to air crash damage alone, plus the fact it can shoot anything, surface, subsurface, or air.

@@HeXetic The colossi were the funniest part of that entire fight, they were a pure assembly line that terminated in death. And correct, they saved the base without question.

Wait, are you WillowWisp's dad from the previous comment section? :D Its so cool that his dad watches his games. Most parents are nowhere near this genuinely involved.

@@MoizRafay Some call it cool. Others would call it sad :) I don't have as much time as my son to play this game. He's far better than me at it now.

No, it's awesome that you share an interest together. I keep reminding myself I need to spend more time playing games with my kids. It's a source if unbridled sadness to me that my father and I didn't share more when he was alive.

@@GyleCast There's a lot to be said for shared quality time with the people that are closest to you. Whether that's FAF or board games like Settlers of Catan. Or a knock-about game of cricket in the park. Or going for a walk and a chat. Or going on holiday or mini-breaks together...

@@GyleCast my father still thinks video games cause violence till this day, rather sad indeed.

Agreed

Yep super lucky on that tele jump

I don't want to play against you, you would destroy me😂

But also almost winning because of it. In that last willow game, #90, that yolona + an SMD could've won it.

@@MoizRafay He had an smd but it got taken down by shore bombardment, which he suffered because he sacrificed navy for the yolona. Of course a yolona could still win the game if things played out differently, but I'm glad it didn't, because it gave us that epic endgame.

@@Hedning1390 definitely.

I'm not so sure, his team were on the back foot pretty substantially anyway. I think having a few more torps and maybe Willo in the late navy game probably wouldn't have been enough to swing it

Glad you mentioned it too. Not saying WilowWisp is this type, but I've seen/played too many matches where someone too focused on THEIR eco/end game plan. Which means the match is too much a 1.5vs1 - 5vs1 match up for most of the game. Sure some times the end does justify the means, as a win is a win. Just don't like when the team is pulling out it's hair while losing Commanders and then that ONE teammate looks like the OP king as they send out the ZERG rush of game enders. Still I wish I could play at this level of micro. Hat tip to a this match, it's players and Gyle for bringing his charm to highlight it.

He's actually very grounded in real life. FAF is a passion of his and this is one of those games where I think he had a strategy he wanted to try from the outset and then gave it a go.

@Jonas Jonaitis gyle is from the UK genius

RIP Queen Liz. Shall watch this replay in her honour. I was gonna watch it anyway, but now I can do it for her.

I was half way through the cast when the news broke. One of those moments where I'll be able to remember where I was when this moment happened. I was watching a Gyle cast that featured my son doing one of his far out plays.

@Jonas Jonaitis Gyle is living in UK, and is thus citizen of UK. So it is/was his Queen still.

@Jonas Jonaitis The Queen considers otherwise!

Turns out, plasma means you *don't* get to fight in the shade.

Have to add Achieved Jaguar to the list, purely for amusement value :)

Yudi? AKA Shinobu? AKA Haachamachamachamachamacha :D

@@septitais Yes, Shinobu/Haachamachama pink :D Such a creative player. Joy to watch him.

@@ep1981 I agree Achieved is a clown

@@blast_chilledmeh3574 farms willow and achieved on a team, now that's a recipe for disaster/success at the same time.

"Brnk" Im sad he stepped away from the platform, really enjoyed his content.

Yeah, if those first two nukes had targeted not-Willow I think an earlier break-through could have succeeded. Robot *had* scouted the first Antinuke before launching, at least according to the replay, so I think it'd have made more sense to target Ice's shipyards, Super's main eco or yards (probably the yards, to make room for the following push), or Deltharra's starting island eco. If he'd done any of those, I think the increased earlier pressure might have cracked Super and Ice earlier, or collapsed Deltharra, and let Team 2 put enough pressure on Willow to prevent the paragon play from succeeding.

also a teleport would have destroyed the paragon. hell even one suicide com would have done it

I think the first Nuke should have gone towards the Naval production. It's always risky trying to outshoot a SMD unless you know it's been recently built.

I agree. The start is slow and the last 5 minutes are predictable. It's the middle bit that makes this an enjoyable battle to watch.

Willowisp is a highly grounded and approachable young man.

They could've telesniped the paragon as well I think.

Not by himself. Deltharra killed the air player just as the strats were starting to drop their bombs on the para, killing that attack. The other players also gave him the buffer to complete the para just in time to survive the onslaught.
