To the ones who didn’t understand the concept- Each team has 5 cannons The circle in the middle selects which cannon should be triggered As soon as the marbles come out of the circle, they get assigned by the numbers 0 - It sends the Quantity, Durability, Explosion and Child to the 0 cannon 1, 2, 3 and 4 do the same thing All - It does the same thing, just for all cannons. Quantity - It increases the quantity of the ammo which is going to be released by the cannon. Durability - Increase Hp of bullet Explosion - Makes a small explosion Child - It will keep producing children till how many numbers of child there are. They all first make a chain to the cannons. The bullets are released when one cannon touches the release marble. Below each team, there is a circle where the release marble is selected. That’s it

Nice match, but once again the "crisis mode" seems to be just a bit overpowered, though to a much lesser extent than previous versions.

Blue at the start: oh no I’m taking so much damage Blue near the end: hey red, how bout I take 90% of your health Red: fine but what if I take 100% of your health Blue:

Crisis mode is usually a good balancer, but it didn't do that at all in this game. The problem was that blue was getting slaughtered for the entire match, draining their HP every time. By the end, they were almost dead, and when they finally gained the upper hand, it triggered red's crisis mode, which just ended the game right there since blue was already almost dead. It's pretty telling that blue was never ONCE ahead of red in HP, aside for like half a second at 4:50.

Crisis mode works better here than in many of the other game modes because it largely allows the player receiving it to rebuild rather than letting them make some kind of overwhelming counterattack. This prevents them from being immediately wiped out, but doesn't end up meaning they're actually better off than if their opponent hadn't attacked them. Real eureka moment when you realize the wires are actually part of the playing space. Kinda like the fortress destruction where the buttons were physically part of the fortress and could be smashed to prevent the opponent from using them.

I think this race was less determined by crisis mode, and moreso the uneven mechanism in the circle in the middle. It has to start off moving _some_ direction, which combined with the biased method it distributes the balls in, pretty much leads to one side getting 99% of the balls. Could've done something a little less blatantly biased depending on which direction it's spinning, I think.

At the start, I actually didn't understand what's this video is about, but I understood it now. This time, the crisis mode is much too powerful than the others. I really like the line which is created by the marbles. Nice video as always, keep going man!

Crisismode was way too powerful. You probably should make it end as soon as the side having it on deals core damage. Maybe a cooldown would also be an option since at one point blues crisis mode ended and just a second later turned back on. Or a limit on how often it can turn on in general, with it having a fixed duration.

Liked this one a lot! Crisis mode seems extremely strong like before, but was much closer to being a more balanced catch-up mechanism. I think less duration on crisis would've made it a little bit more reasonable

Very nice concept! Only downside was crisis mode almost entirely flipping the game from fair loss to crushing win.

I think crisis mode tries to fix an underlying flaw in the design - once a team attacks it takes away the other teams ability to attack. This means the game is built on snowballing from the start.

These Core Destruction matchups are always interesting. Blue almost won because of crisis mode though, not a fan of that. Crisis mode is good for getting back into the game but shouldn't provide the win. I'm glad Blue ended up losing.

Plentiful, durable, explosive children... great.

The problem here is that when one side gains the upper hand, it's likely to keep the upper hand. Crisis Mode helps, but it doesn't switch sides fast enough.

12:19 pm will not stop me from watching core destruction

There's something so satisfying about blue's death being in sync with the beat drop.

A lot of the times a team makes a comeback with "Crisis mode" and it makes you think twice before you choose the winning team.

12:35 i never thought a bunch of marbles destroying eachother would be so epic

Goddamn Mikan, the timing on Wariyo is just so absolutely perfect. Im so glad to hear it again

Only major suggestion I have is to turn the status numbers on the blue side to white, or lighten the background behind them, because they’re hard to see on low values when the bar isn’t behind them.

nice race, l0ve all the variations you give us but like for me the same set with a different outcome would also be great and then that time with improved graphics on the objects. Keep it up!

I love this, so I saw mikan some where in January this year and ever since I've been addicted to watching it, so listen. Mikan! just recently my dog died and your videos have been helping me through thank you for not stopping I don't know who you are I don't know where you are but thank you for everything.

_Long paragraph that displays my appreciation for this video existing_

the crisis mode is more like an advantage than the one that is losing, that's why the red team almost lost

This is without doubt the most tense and exciting one yet, holy moly! wow!!!

I like that we ended with Mortals, which is my favorite song out of NCS

6:42 The First Ultra Shots 12:08 The Second Ultra Shots

This is such an interesting concept lol

The blue in the last minute just said No, im winning now!

I came here coz my 5-year-old loves the sight of it, and loves watching it muted. I wasn’t aware that it’s actually a GAME, and a kinda’ brainer one. Whoa (insert Bill and Ted whoa here) Br.: Boomer Dad in his early forties

4:35 Was super satisfying to see Red barely get the shot off and then shred through Blue's defenses. 6:32 YOOOO AND RED HAD NO MERCY HERE 12:02 Ok that was devastating to Red but... at least Blue's almost dead? 13:10 But Crisis Mode has Red's back, as they deal the killing blow!

this looks like one of those arcade games you don't understand but you play anyways and then lose

Crisis mode should never detract from the winning team, only increase temporarily the power of the side losing.

“Quantity” “Durability” “Explosion” “C H I L D”

Blue when getting crisis: Trying to survive the fight. Red when get the crisis: Now your done for.

Red: "does 1 dmg to blue who is a bout to die" Blue: CRISIS MODE!!!

That was great. side A could have gotten their revenge after being nearly rid themselves, but ultimately failed by a few hundred HP. That was way too close. (Also, music sync =) I just want to mention this: i've seen that you have a Twitch channel where you consistently host interactive streams, but you never really mention it in any video actively. This is the first time i've seen a link to it at the end of the video at all. It might be good to promote.

Well, I guess this marks the end of Blue's Victory era (5 in a row), but never the downfall.

Blue: we cab hurt some of their wires every once in a while. Red every 2 minutes: would you like to return to monkey?

blue is like having a brillionaire dad to save the shit for the whole time

This is a cool concept

ohhh i liked the close final, great one Red and MIKAN!!

13:07 Red: C A G A S T E

Blues base exploding was perfectly timed with the beat drop

Crisis mode was a bit too much in this - it almost gave the game to blue which would have been absurdly unfair given the scores at that point

Thank you for new interesting videos. Keep up the good work.

I personally choose the cool colors like blue purple and all those types and all i have to say about this i had my jaws on the floor while watching blue clutch up, and still lose 🤣🤣🤣 This was the most intense battle video tbh

That was the biggest clutch I have seen in my life!

Red: BYE BYE! Blue: * epic comeback * Red: * even more epic comeback *

Being able to zoom into the video on my phone is a game changer!

For a moment, I thought that was going to go like the House Cup at the end of a Harry Potter novel.

6:27 Me seeing the All Fire marble get destroyed immediately: =[] 6:39 Me seeing the All Fire marble shoot all cannons: =]

This is definitely one of the most interesting ones I've seen! Also, in terms of music, maybe some variety might be called for? Some drum n bass wouldn't go amiss, I think.

So wonderful! Can you rematch with 2 another colors or more colors?

Me: *Sees Red fire a few cannons about 15 seconds before the beat drop* Me: Oh hell yeah, we won!

*vaya... El rojo no recibió casi nada de daño hasta los últimos momentos de la batalla* 😢🔵👊🔴

It's an interesting concept for certain but it seems too busy. There's nothing wrong with simplistic ideas. Maybe remove a turret or 2. Also the crisis mode was an interesting idea but as proven again it's very overpowered and always turns the tables from having a near perfect match to suddenly being on the brink of destruction.

the end the music was perfectly timed

12:13 Blue had a redemption arc right there

crisis mode is just a different name for turn the battle 180 degrees, and it waited for red to just about die before kicking in while when blue had one of their paths even slightly damaged it would kick in and stay on for 9 minutes

was expecting it to be a one sided stomp the full way through byt blue almost pulled it back

When you deal 2 dmg, then get sent into perpetual crisis mode

Wowwwww.... Como sempre, mais um excelente vídeo!!! 👋👋💫💫💫

Bro blue nearly made the biggest come back ever

why does man have to post when it’s 1 am here worth the good content tho

we just needed a crisis mode of our own.

This was cool to watch but the suspense kind of evaporated once I saw who has the advantage and how unlikely it was for blue to come back. Even with the help of 4 separate crisis mode triggers it could not get an advantage and was constantly on the back foot. Leaving the only chance at victory being a one shot with a final crisis or die when the other side inevitably had thier's activate. Which takes the suspense of wondering who's gonna win and just turns it into "how bad is this stomp going to be. As opposed to something like the structure construction battle that went back and forth constantly with no clear way to tell who was gonna win. Personally I don't know how I would Bette balance these battle concepts and I'm sure you put a lot of thought into them and do testing. I just wish to give my thoughts on how these feel watching is all. Looking forward to what you come up with next

Blue's counterattack was inspiring, but it was just too little too late!

imagine if this was a real battle and a solider is like sir our 30 marbles with 6 explosive children that hit 12 times where effective

Crisis mode felt like it did nothing for quite a while, until it did nearly the full HP pool as damage. There was no inbetween.

Perfectly timed ending tho noice

Im addicted with this crisis mode!

This is one of my favorites mikan videos

Hit the core of enterprise in Algodoo

I had absolutely know idea how anything in this race worked

Nice drop sync at the end

Aww man I really thought blue was going to a comeback

hey! Mikan! I got an idea for you ya know how monochrome almost never wins? How about you make a video called monochromes revenge. monochrome is piloting a giant killer machine dragon(European) witch has lasers, and claws, and a big mouth it bites with, and homing spikes, witch slow down a marble, also touch it is death it's a who can survive the longest type of race with the marbles running away, also when it gets the homing spikes it targets rainbow first(they are enemy's), the homing spikes are on its back And it has a big zigzag mouth(either uniform or different) that it shoots lasers and bites with, it's claws move it along but not smooth more like wild charges of varying strengths, it also has tonge spike(like imposters from among us) that spears the closest marble to the machine also has hand cannons it stops moving and raises it's claws to point at the marbles before multiple missiles shoot out and explode it starts with claw slash, then getting bite, then getting homing spikes, then getting tongue stab, then lasers also the marbles can trigger switches that fire missiles the stun the dragon and it's basic marble system to fire the weapons, marbles in spinny core, touch the things that takes them to their places witch fires the weapons. You know all this hope this isn't too hard too make if it is I am okay with waiting a while if you do this, thanks in advance

No one: Absolutely no one: MIKAN: child

I wonder how a playable version of these battles would work

So... yeah, about how I expect a match of Blue vs anyone to go on this channel.

Crisis mode just feel a BIT overpowered here

Problem seems to be that the first major injury left blue playing catch-up for the entire game

Crisis mode is kind of like a Deus ex machina plot device. It cheapens any comeback that the losing team makes.

I really liked the part when Red said "It's marblin' time", and started marbling the hell out of Blue

Man, blue barely had a chance. :(

I am seeing a pattern of one side being slightly favored by the "random" dispersion, and that side always winning....

⚠️ SPOILERS BELOW ⚠️ Before 11:30 - Red is just chillin with 4000+ HP while blue is down to less than 900. At 11:30 - CRISIS MODE give blue the boost it needs to begin building up a mega barrage that quickly brings red to its knees at only 245 HP. Meanwhile, blue goes down to a measly 133 HP from a particularly powerful shot from red. At 13:00 - Red losing HP so quickly triggers CRISIS MODE again, but this time it goes in their favor and gives them the strength they need to finally destroy blue. And as such, blue explodes only moments later, ending the fight in glorious fashion.

Eh... Yet another example of the "right direction bias" present in most such simulations. Basically the spheres tend to ever so slightly prefer to move to the right, so the options on the right hand side are going to be triggered more often than the left side options. The contraption in the middle was reasonably random, but with all the triggers for the blue being on the right they just couldn't put any pressure. And when they did the crisis mode made sure hey are going to die.

Awwww, I thought I would see a great comeback from Blue. Still they cornered Red though.

Mikan, would you ever make a video showing all the bad iterations of these games? Where it ends in like 2 minutes but wasn't very satisfying?

I've been watching MIKAN a lot today and (but it's still quite early to jump to conclusions as I'm writing this) it feels like when there's a blue vs red, red wins everytime, which I know isn't actually the truth but that's what it feels like, I'll edit this comment later once my opinion has fully developed or whatever, or I'll just forget lol, and this whole comment is only really meant to be constructive critisism, and I might forget about it and remember it like way later and just be like: "lol" about it or something lol

3:26 that music is something from max brhon, i just dont know what Edit:Oh, it wasnt

FINALLY! MY COLOR ACTUALLY WON

кандай жакшы видео экен брат муну түшүнөсүң деген үмүттөмүн

I am happy Red won, but Blue was so hard to see :(

I watched this and Surprised by blue taking red to the hundreds but failed to win

Incredibly timed

wow, the right side wins for once! i swear it's almost always the left!

wow expensive thank you mikan
