He is salty because his niche became meta now
With the release of mlynar…. It definitely changed
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.
Even now, if you click on contract details, and you look up the names of the contracts on the contract list it kinda gives you an idea of why a limit has been set. It's a neat little thing. Like deployment limit restriction is called Environment: Crossfire zone and squad size limit is called Objective: Covert Action . Like it makes sense you can't just shove all your guys into a map if the concern is friendly crossfire, and you wouldn't bring that many people with you on a covert mission.
I MISS the lore blurbs so badly, they were SO fricking cool
I remember the flavor text, that's the kind of thing that I really look out for in games. I also remember not doing CC, because thinking make me head owie, and also probably because I was pre-occupied with another Gacha Game.
@@daddysempaichan"Thinking make me head owie" im gonna steal that for future uses
Oh God I remember those. I was so sad they didn't bring it back in CC#0, and I can't find anyone screenshotting the descriptions either.

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.
the hype of 'could you beat this mode with hardest diff' with great OST couldnt be forgotten
really one of the few games where I felt challenge was not just stacked up number but pure strategy @@3takoyakis
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)
I barely managed to R17 CC#0 with my E1 Hoshi (and she barely survived), I was only managed to E2 her too late after the CC (Myrtle and Siege was my only E2s at the time) kekw
I unfortunately only got into the game in time for CC#2 but I’ll forever be proud of how I spitefully ignored my friend telling me you needed Weedy for the red weebs, and took them out with Schwarz and Nian instead.
My R18s may be few in number but I still consider that to be the best one.
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.
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
Another CZcamsr discovers the Maxor format, one of my favorite types...
However, I will always hate the cc11 lobby theme. MSR has dropped many bangers but this isn't one of them.
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 feel like this could also be just a ton of people either getting their own or other people on their friendslist also having one. I know personally I tend to reach for more well built niche units from support cause I dont have them built
Support character economy is about supply and demand.
It's likely that Surtr is oversupplied and no one put up April.
It also depends on the released content. For example, Ethan was popular during the dishware map. I put up an M3 Ethan and he got taken out a lot.
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
lol i started on under tides rerun, which was before cc9, and re run rewards sucks. i feel your pain
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.
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.
10:43 No way this looks like ChatGPT explaining Mlynar skills XD
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
incredibly well made, gj! - wish I can have this level of standard in my own videos in the future
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
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-
The red avengers from beta still give me PTSD
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
fun video, and some amazing editing in there, keep up the good work!
Take a shot every time he say "Activate Mlynar skill"
insane editing keep up the content so good
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.
God tier editing, especially in the first half
Holy shit your channel is so underrated, the quality of this is so high
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. 💀
I like your editing wizardly , magic man
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
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
Pinch out is so strange to me. Because it is the exact same as CC except the ui is different and the scaling became stupid.
Istg that ashring cut before the drop is intentional damn you
Awesome editing.
damn now i feel so emotional about contigency contract
brother I will die on that hill with you I enjoy Fake Waves lobby theme as well
It feels good to have underdeveloped account and easily clear risk 18 now with just a click on mlynar skill
yoo bro nice edit love your commentary, u reminding me watching gigguk
Wow, nice editing
I like how this video barely talks about Daily Stages.
10/10 such a nice nostalgia trip
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've been here since the first contract and I've missed a few end boxes and that makes me sad😢
This video strengthened my link and cleared my heart
this really activated my mlynar's skill
another banger video. to make it even harder I propose they combine CC with the coop gamemode
ambriel is so good they had to make her alter be in a wheelchair and a npc
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 I WAS JUST WATCHING THAT EXACT CC4 CLEAR WTF
CC#11 is probably the easiest CC ever. I reached Risk#30 for the first time without relying on any guides.
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
I see eha upload, I pog
oh nice ULTRAKILL OST use, big fan
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.
yes, CC = crying constantly
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
damn.. that intro is sick
nice Skyfire art in the thumbnail
EHHAAAA UPLOAAD
HG made 12 CCs and decided to make a new CC like they are new to this game lmao
Yoooo, the ultrakill ost
mega pog vijya
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.
10:36 you're so right, I'll refer to nearl alter as such from now on. much better than ntrk anyways
absolutely 10/10 vid. CC has always been my fav part of the game im gonna miss it so much
I love suffering
Fire edits
I came
9mil hp mechs I can’t wait for pinch out ):
The Ultrakill music just describes what kind of fuckery is about to happen lmfao
I started playing not even a month ago and can't even clear training 😂
I love horse
Bagpipe thumbnail artwork link where, it's stunning
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
Crazy
West Armoury
I love CC as much as I love being choke by Manfred while dodging my confession & my valentine chocolate.
I love you and activate Mlynar skill.
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
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
You play CC for challenge
I play CC for lobby music
We are not the same
This video is definitely not for the weak links or the faint of heart
Me who love Młynar and hate CC still love this video
Nice ™
Skyfire usaged, based. Double based, maybe...?
"Weak links"
Well.... All that i really wanted to say is that you absolutely need to activate the Mynar skill.
mom im on tv
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.
To each their own I guess.
Fyi P.O.O. is basically the same as CC.
im ngl this intro can actually be used for a real cc trailer
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?
Pinch-Out has different currency, so CC12 will be the last chance.
My priority would be: Operators > 6* Tokens > 5* Tokens > Skins and Furniture (cosmetic), and some skins are needed for the medal set
Of those operators, Bibeak has been very useful with her cheap, multi-target stun, Arts damage skill, especially for enemy attack canceling, stunning some aerial enemies, and with SP buffs.
There's also Scene, a summoner with Invisibility reveal on 3×3 tiles around the summons and Camouflage, but you could just borrow Ling if those things are not that important.
Erato has long range as a besieger sniper and can apply Sleep on one enemy for stalling.
Tuye can give a barrier to ally to absorb attack like Gravel's second skill.

Bro really said the CC11 lobby theme is good I can't take any of this seriously anymore
it's decen, but others were more fire
@@zegrathbloodshade5785 especially the one that literally screams "YES I'M ON FIRE!" in the lyrics
Hey, Angry Birds's ost is actually decent
And here comes supah once again with a bad take
CC#11 lobby theme is *relatively* bad with triple emphasis on "relatively". I'd heard it was bad but when I actually listened to it, it wasn't nearly as bad as I imagined. In fact, it was good but definitely on the weaker side among other CC lobby theme.
So, yeah. CC#11 lobby theme may be the worst among other CC lobby theme but it's still good. If you think otherwise, fight me or you're the weak links or the faint of heart.
_Activate Młynar skill_
Rhine knights has been entertaining me through fake waves, just need Mumu for a vanguard.
Activate Mlynar skill
If only CC beta come out right now, it’s probably will be funny time for sure
*laughs in CC0*
Activate mlynar skill becomes the next Sutri now
Penance is love. Penance is life.
