He is salty because his niche became meta now

I'm honestly kinda surprised someone else even remembered the whole lore explanation that CC is a system put in place by Catastrophe Messengers. Something I feel like was immediately lost with Pinch Out (starting with the fact that the name is incredibly lame) is the idea that you're at least just a little bit cool. The whole "it's about saving more lives" tagline is all about that. I think unfortunately Pinch Out isn't going to be able to give us something as thematically consistent and cool as Basepoint - musically, map design wise, bringing back "The" Avenger, and giving him some neat flavor text. Did you know that in beta, in the UI that no one used, they had a whole bit of flavor text for every contract explaining why it was in place? For instance, ATK down was your own operators holding back because enemies were holding valuable and fragile cargo. That thing being removed is the sort of thing I mean when I say thematically cool.

As someone who is def not the brightest in terms of gameplay in Arknights. The CC Music was actually something that made me cherish the game and made me really get into Arknights.

for me the clear that started the CC hype was the CCb magallan stall strat. it was a massive bigbrain and gave her the "big brain operator" title that she holds to this day.

We've all experienced pain in CC beta, but my first fond memories of CC was in CC 0, where I first achieved R18 and could finally justify building Hoshiguma to the naysayers This CC will be memorable to me too as the first CC where I came up with my own niche and R18'd it (yes, because the perma map is THAT easy)

first off dude seriously your editing on this video was amazing i had to stop at several points to reread certain text pieces and the video flowed together really well and also holy based cc11 theme liker

Arknights has reached a point where no one uses my m3 Surtr but rather my April. So many easy ways to beat the game now. But can't say about high risk cc though . That is another realm level

I started during the middle of CC8 and CC9 later....imagine the pain of me trying to do even Risk 0.. learning stuff that i shouldn't learn yet...thank god CC11 is easy

For me, CC0 was what really made me smile & appreciate the game by stalling Red Avenger with Angelina & Shaw. It was then I realized that anything could be possible if you really take time to think.

My favorite time of the year: watching 20 different billibilli clears, all the EN guide makers and the madlads doing challenge runs just to get a single R18 clear since my smooth brain can't go higher

I started playing Arknights in between cc2 and cc3 by my memory, but I never tried cc until cc5. I miss those days. I would kill just to be able to replay old CCs as they were with the same op selection because cc5, cc6, and cc7 was some of the most fun I’ve had in Arknights period. I hold Arknights to a higher standard, treating it as one of the only gachas I play solely because the gameplay stands on its own, but some of the most fun I’ve had is with CC. I enjoy side modes like IS and even SSS, but nothing beats chasing a stage, relentlessly trying to scale that mounts again and again, reaching an achievement that may be overshadowed by others, may not be special in any specific way, but is still dear to you because you were the one that achieved it. cc5 will always be my favorite cc, primarily because I was so bad back then. I was having so much fun taking squad size down 2 and attack down 2. I found merit in just playing the game for fun. Similarly, I had so much fun with cc7. Obtaining week 1 risk 20 and making the most of what I had, then immediately forgetting everything and being unable to take the free firecracker risk that would push me to risk 21. I think I will look back on cc11 the same way. I achieved r21 with a niche of my own creation, watching others go further and do things more impressive, but all I can think is “I beat my personal best!” whilst also being so happy for the people doing more. I will probably always pine for the good old days of Arknights. Back in my day Chalter was the new meta and this blue woman only had a comically oversized super soaker. Back in my day module upgrades weren’t a thing and Abjurers were actually bad. Back in my day we played originium dust and malded against the boss and -80 aspd. Back in my day A Walk In The Dust was the best event ever, and for my money it still is. But things must move on. There is no meaning in a static world, and as much as I wish I could relive the good old days I also love looking forward, to the future. Silence alter is a 6* abjurer! Ines and Santalla are released from npc prison! Every new boss is oh so interesting! Just like how you said cc must go, I shall agree with you. But I will still remember it fondly. Also pinch out looks pretty good actually it’s just the permanent map has effectively a +1000% hp tag for whatever reason I’m excited for POO.

incredibly well made, gj! - wish I can have this level of standard in my own videos in the future

10:43 No way this looks like ChatGPT explaining Mlynar skills XD

I joined in too recently to experience the whole CC journey, with my first being CC10 Ashring where I got absolutely mauled by Manfred, the boys and the cannon by having a still underdeveloped squad (which was also the first time experiencing chapter 10 mechanics for me because I didn't get there yet at the time Ashring was up) Come CC11 and I managed to get Risk 18 with a way mote robust team on top of getting the extra challenges which made me feel very happy to have come this far in a short even if it is much much easier Can't wait for CC12 and face the avenger in bloody combat for the pink thing's hand in marriage

The red avengers from beta still give me PTSD

Im gonna miss CC, i can see why the devs are retiring it since it has gotten repetitive in map design, but to think Pinch Out is its replacement... mmmmmmmmm i dunno

This video has it all, loved the fangirling on the Mostima and Skyfire strategy, this is going on the Classics list for future rewatches, amazing video as alway, Horse man

God tier editing, especially in the first half

We all feel the pain of CCBeta We all hyped when from CC#7 we can pull off Max Risk clears We all starts to see patterns for a Quick, Day 1 R18 clears We all got the wake up call when CC#9 hits ...and we all know how ABSOLUTELY ELATED WE ARE when CC#9 was eventually beaten by our Taiwan brethren With this and CC#12, the return of Red Avenger *We will DEFINITELY miss CC* It has its Miss.. but when they hit, they got hard. Like Zof-

fun video, and some amazing editing in there, keep up the good work!

Istg that ashring cut before the drop is intentional damn you

damn now i feel so emotional about contigency contract

Take a shot every time he say "Activate Mlynar skill"

I liked CC Fake Waves because it let me use Tomimi as a melee unit and it let me combo Aosta and Leizi with their "no block" niche and after learning that the cars can't pick up Ergates while frozen I started using Kjera

insane editing keep up the content so good

Ah..... Pinch Out.. The "dailies" were fun to play at least. Didn't want to deal with every single enemy being tanky as heck so 420 was all I was willing to do. I did get most of the stuff from shop tho. 💀

brother I will die on that hill with you I enjoy Fake Waves lobby theme as well

ok, i just started playing arknights a couple of weeks ago and because of that i have been receiving this kind of recommendations on my homepage, i have seen it all, chinese memes, shitpost, lore videos, meta explanations, tierlist of midriffs... but BOY this is the first video i see with THIS level of editing you have all my respects man that intro was 🔥🔥🔥

I like your editing wizardly , magic man

Holy shit your channel is so underrated, the quality of this is so high

If i had a penny for every time "Activate Młynar Skill" was mentioned, I dont know how many pennies I would have because of brainrot from using Młynar all the time.

Awesome editing.

It feels good to have underdeveloped account and easily clear risk 18 now with just a click on mlynar skill

BRO I WAS JUST WATCHING THAT EXACT CC4 CLEAR WTF

I've been here since the first contract and I've missed a few end boxes and that makes me sad😢

this really activated my mlynar's skill

I like how this video barely talks about Daily Stages. 10/10 such a nice nostalgia trip

This video strengthened my link and cleared my heart

ambriel is so good they had to make her alter be in a wheelchair and a npc

yoo bro nice edit love your commentary, u reminding me watching gigguk

another banger video. to make it even harder I propose they combine CC with the coop gamemode

i remember the early cc with the w event mechanics and cc blade. stopped playing them after cc spectrum for some reason. But I did play fake waves and deepness. like you said, they don't feel the same. I remember using ifrit to shoot across two lanes in operation cinder and I remember sitting in the lobby listening to operation blade. But I have almost no memory of operations after that. I had to look them up just to type this. Sure, I remember using weedy s2 to hold the right lane and kal and skalter s3 to kill the archer dude in operation spectrum but it doesn't have the same impact as those early ones did. i miss those early cc's a lot actually.

Oh, the edditing I have never been into this but now that I think about it... I want Penance to sit on my face

Wow, nice editing

From player view cc9 is gruesome. But from community view it is phenomenal. It united 3 servers. Each with different times line. It made people who don't usually care care. It -1 clear and its max are largely different.

Bro really said the CC11 lobby theme is good I can't take any of this seriously anymore

coming here after cc12 just adios'd itself 3 days after I finally managed to pull of the only vaguely nichenights r18 clear I'll ever do, I just want to say that there will come a day where only the real boomers remember the easy days of cc11 and I am equal parts scared and excited for what comes next.

I started around The first Nearl Light event so my first experience is CC#8 and I did understandably horrible because underleveled account But I came back at CC#9 but getting all full medals on it and Risk 18 With some of the oddest strats using a borrowed surtr Then CC#9 and Londinium Outskirts became the bane of my existence

oh nice ULTRAKILL OST use, big fan

EHHAAAA UPLOAAD

I see eha upload, I pog

CC#11 is probably the easiest CC ever. I reached Risk#30 for the first time without relying on any guides.

nice Skyfire art in the thumbnail

yes, CC = crying constantly

mega pog vijya

damn.. that intro is sick

I love horse

Yoooo, the ultrakill ost

absolutely 10/10 vid. CC has always been my fav part of the game im gonna miss it so much

HG made 12 CCs and decided to make a new CC like they are new to this game lmao

10:36 you're so right, I'll refer to nearl alter as such from now on. much better than ntrk anyways

As a newer player who had Arknights on his phone for years but only started around January 2023, I didn't really know what the heck was going on when CC10 was happening, so CC11 is my first real CC event. I loved it a lot, even if I had to borrow a Mlynar at the time for CC18 (I think I got up to 16 on my own). I just wish there was a legacy mode where you can revisit each one in its fully glory. I know there is power creep going on (you see gnosis, bagpipe, etc etc everywhere), but as someone with a more mid-level account, i really wish I had a better way to measure how strong both my team is and how good I am at the game. I'm looking forward to CC12 when it hits global, and I intend to really dig into even more than CC11.

Fire edits I came

~ _"One of my favorite pastimes is imagining all the ways i could die."_ The Max Risk community: _"We'll take your entire stock!"_

I regret dropping arknights tho I was as day 1 player I never experienced is1 and cc 1- 5 came back towards the end of cc6

Crazy

I wanna ask, I've played Arknights kinda late, like around January this year and seeing that I already skipped 10 seasons of CC, I probably won't be able to clear out the permanent CC shop. Did HG say anything about importing the shop to Pinch Out at all or should I be worried and buy as much as possible? Mainly things like operator skins, new operators and the 6-star tokens?

I love suffering

I love you and activate Mlynar skill.

9mil hp mechs I can’t wait for pinch out ):

Hight level cc im dying send help but sad that hg dont allow us to play older one i really one to go above risk 18 in older cc

ahh yes for the last 3 years i feel it all, since CC Beta to Basepoint, i try to reach the max possible risk that my account can reach on EVERY CC... to the point where my friends call me MAD. But yes the golden age of CC is over, i played Basepoint and reach only 29, no hope for me to play it on EN since i have plan to sell my EN account. The CC might be over , but the memory and the PAIN stays with me, with us the players... forever My Favorite CC is Cinder dan Spectrum btw

Bagpipe thumbnail artwork link where, it's stunning

You play CC for challenge I play CC for lobby music We are not the same

I love CC as much as I love being choke by Manfred while dodging my confession & my valentine chocolate.

The Ultrakill music just describes what kind of fuckery is about to happen lmfao

Me who love Młynar and hate CC still love this video Nice ™

Skyfire usaged, based. Double based, maybe...?

I started playing not even a month ago and can't even clear training 😂

I agree, CC was the best gameplay we got in Arknights, something you can spend hours on optimizing to the millionths degree until you are just searching for RNG procs of something. I think Chen alter was when the downfall began, CC18 became more and more just a point on the bucket list to cross out asap and not something that was challenging in itself (there are normal stages that are harder than most newer CC18), and unless you had the drive to go beyond 18 it essentially became a dead week. I'm even sadder that the replacements are 'fomo the gamemode' (aka SSS) and 'to rng you pray' (aka IS) are so uninteresting for me. I like to find and optimize a strategy and none of the other modes allows me to do that to the degree CC does. I think there were ways to improve CC before just throwing the whole thing out, but I hope they at least can improve the replacement to something decent.

*laughs in CC0*

_Activate Młynar skill_

Rhine knights has been entertaining me through fake waves, just need Mumu for a vanguard.

Well.... All that i really wanted to say is that you absolutely need to activate the Mynar skill.

If only CC beta come out right now, it’s probably will be funny time for sure

"Weak links"
