Since surfer crabs are just beefy dragoons, the crab should surf forward at all times. It literally never stops and it pushes everything else out of the way.
@@PeterZaitcev Well, it kinda brings it to the point 'you just lose limit of avengers to summon a timed archon', which is not cool. I got your idea, but to have fun you also have playable and unpunishing game decisions. upd: i think about it, so if super archon summoned, remaining avengers when just in melee range - attacking each. that can be interesting. After timed archon gone, they no longer hostile. (so they don't move to their brothers, like dragoons do now - that can be fair)
Feels like the 'Mortal' should be Biological, have crazy base armor (~4 to be similar to ultras w/ Chitinous Plating), and maybe a worse D-matrix called "Harden". I don't think they should be changed to melee since the DT's Shadow Furries already fill the heavy melee role. Can't wait to see the Crab/bunny/bear comp lol
If they are changed to melee they should be able to walk over the furries abom style, and have a higher target priority, because crabs are the ultimate lifeforms.
I was hoping the Immortal would actually be immortal and simply respawn at the nearest building on death after a delay. And be buffed, but, "there can be only one." You cannot build anymore than 1 (Attempting to do so will trigger the Immortals "There can be only one" voice line as the error sound).
Or you can make more, but if they get close to each other you lose control of them and they start fighting each other Once only one remains you get control back and it has improved stats :D
I’d like to request that Grant read the tool tips closer to the beginning of the mission. Guess what the unit does and try things out, but then do the tool tips. That way the mission can be done making full use and understanding of the new unit, rather than having the mission focusing on the unit be done without truly showing what the unit can do.
Still owes us a couple of tooltips. Grant if you forget the tooltips again, please just film some extra footage in which you actually read them rather than leaving them hanging until a later mission (beacuse you'll forget or pick the wrong variants or similar). Edit: or least post them to the comments or description
It may not be tomorrow, darlin'. It may not even happen with an army at his back. But rest assured, HE'S THE MAN who's going to read the tooltips some day. I'll be seeing you.
"Thinking about the immortality of the crab (Spanish: Pensando en la inmortalidad del cangrejo) is a Spanish idiom about daydreaming. The phrase is usually a humorous way of saying that one was not sitting idly, but engaged constructively in contemplation or letting one's mind wander."
Thanks for the fun! ^^ Don't worry Grant. We, as your viewers, watch you for the bad puns (I sure love them and it is even in the family tradition), and the creative Starcraft community and its creations you showcase to us. :) And my new head canon is that the immortals are in reality canned crabs now. XD For closure an old SC2 pun: What does a zealot say when going to battle? My wife for hire!
The avengers could be put in stasis to balance out the other power they have. And, you know, it would make sense that after being mysteriously rescued they would be put in some tube to recover. Also, just have a thought, the stats could change somehow every time they recover. Like, less health, more damage or something. Maybe lose cloak at some point.... or turn them into mechas. Huh. Food for thought.
I wish the Avenger'd have different abilities based on its name. Thor's attacks could chain lightning to nearby targets, Black Widowmine could, well, place mines, The Amazing Spidermine could jump, Captain starcraft could have the adept's glaive or maybe buff other avengers in a radius, the Hulk would be green-coloured and gets twice as large as it attacks! I don't know if it'd be at all feasible, but dangnabbit it'd be amazing!
crabs are a meme unto themselves, you have NO idea how many animals have evolved into basically-a-crab over the course of life on earth there are giant crabs, there are microscopic crabs, there are freshwater crabs, there are rainforest crabs, there are land crabs, there are desert crabs, hell, there have even been god damned _flying_ crabs way back when bugs were giant and nothing had figured out how to digest wood yet so plants just sat there for thousands of years when they died.
Tasty crabs. Passive ability. All ground units in a 3 range of the crab on death recover 5 health per second for 4 seconds. Stacking. Suddenly crabs are more survivable when things are dying.
I would rather enjoy seeing the ability of 'Plot armour; to be implemented into the mod and bestowed upon the Avengers if it is not too much trouble. Thank you very much Orca
It's nice to have a bunch of scientists on the front also, as someone else stated in the comments, give them surfboats "i return to surf" and i know this is completely out of left field, but make half of them crabs and half of them scientists, because as mentioned above SCIENTISTS ARE CRABS!
My guess is the Crab model is from HOS, I’m thinking one of the two Protoss areas with a bunch of caged creatures (the roach evo mission or the last mission of the ice planet)
Two different definitely not out of context quotes from Grant this episode: “I have Crabs” and “I really like abusing” Lmao. So glad this series is bringing out the best of us
I think dead mortal crabs should leave shells behind which other mortals can grab to gain more armor. Legacy of the mortal crabs reaching 20 armor would be great.
23:50 - there should be a reverse sentinel, 2-4-6-8-16 assembling into even bigger sentinels, doubling their size and damage, but also their attack delay each time.
I very sincerely hope that enemy Immortals also get turned into Crab Mortals, but when they activate their barrier the "GIANT ENEMY CRAB" song plays similar to Disco Sentry.
CRAB IMMORTAL CRABS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE BECAUSE THE IMMORTALS ARE LIKE CRABS SO NOW WE CAN MAKE A CRAB RAVE sadly they can't rave yet. Great job with the memes
I may be wrong, but the crabs might be from the Nova Covert ops mission on that beach resort world, Tyrador IX. Maybe it's a critter for that planet, or was planned to be one. That's my best guess. *(Edit1)* The crabs' attack might be based on the Pistol shrimp that can shoot a knockout blast that gets as hot as the surface of the sun. *(Edit2)* I say yes, have the "Plot armor" passive ability for the Avengers.
Instead of recall or something: Restore 50% shields and 50& HP Spawn a cheap hard counter against the last unit attacking You know, because the hero always barely survives and suddenly help comes from somewhere
What if the Immortal crabs had the Immortality Protocol upgrade from the WoL campaign Thors? They’d die and become invulnerable, then revive, making them a frontline (melee) unit that just stays in the front forever
I look at this mod and think oh it’d be really fun to play but then I think I don’t think playing it could possibly be better than watching grant play it and seeing his reactions to the memes.
Mini sentinels seem to have a fairly big hitbox, it should probably be somewhat reduced. And on the topic of killing mid-warp-in sentinels, if you destroy the pylon on which they are warping do you get both a refund and mini sentinels? (or switch modes on an energizer).
Really wish the dragoon had been the unit that got crabbed. I'm pretty sure Grant has even referred to dragoons as protoss war crabs at some point. Also it would explain the bad pathing. Oh, and I'm pretty sure the crab model shows up in Nova Covert Ops; the beach map with the mothership. I think it's one of the critters, and much smaller. I'm totally on board with the avenger getting plot armor. But I feel like it should get a new flair. Avengers in the comics are always coming back to trash the guys who took them down, so some kind of temporary boost to their stats would make sense to me.
I feel each Avengers should have their abilities like the deadpool one can't die and just revive with full hp but is always taking tick damage bc he has cancer. Captain starcraft has a shield toss And so on lol
Not going to lie, I'm a tiny bit disappointed that Grant didn't go with "pincer manoeuvre" when ambushing the attacking hybrids. Just a pinch. Enjoying the series so far, though.
Avengers feel like, Yeah I can teleport a bunch of units behind enemy lines, but they're bad units so not much gained. With the "plot armour" it will be possible to tp them into battle and then as they die they tp back, making them very efficient.
The crabs aren’t on surfboards, literally unplayable.
“I RETURN TO SURF”
Since surfer crabs are just beefy dragoons, the crab should surf forward at all times. It literally never stops and it pushes everything else out of the way.
It is surf on its own if you think it as a part of surf and turf
I repeat my request for equipping Avengers with emergency recall and naming it Plot Armour! Please! I gently nudge you, Orca! Thank you :)
But have it trigger the avengers assemble (if available) when plot armor triggers. So all of the DTs dissappear when any one of them does.
I second the motion.
Am I allowed to third the motion
Call it Tahiti!
You require more Avenger abilities
As someone smart said, give Avengers Death Recall back and call it "Plot Armour"
Please consider yourself gently nudged into the direction of giving avengers plot armor
...but give them a chance to be respawned at some enemy structure instead and switch teams.
I think that 7 avengers with different names should combine in the powerful archon
Nah, it should be five templar to form Voltron.
Ulrezaj?
Interesting, if it also be timed unit (and you lose this powerful version after time expire) - it can be cool balance choice
@@mapron1 and then the remaining Avengers start killing each other

This should get more upvotes. Also make the crab rave under the disco sentry.
Yes! This is the one!
If they are changed to melee they should be able to walk over the furries abom style, and have a higher target priority, because crabs are the ultimate lifeforms.
Maybe that roach ability that gives bonus armour below 50% health?

Just click on the link in the pinned comment and read it there
13:21, I'm so sad that you didn't call it a *Pincer maneuver*, I mean, c'mon, it fits so well
Came to the comments to see if someone else had commented this before I did, haha he set himself up so well for it!
@@kano016 same here (-:
I also came here to say this. I was so expecting that to be the joke
how did he miss the obvious "pincer attack" pun
There will be a time when he remembers to read all the tooltipps. Propably not tomorrow...
It may not be tomorrow, darlin'. It may not even happen with an army at his back. But rest assured, HE'S THE MAN who's going to read the tooltips some day. I'll be seeing you.

2:35
Everything evolves into crabs eventually. It's probably from a scrapped plotline where the zerg evolved into crabs and took over the sector
I think the Immortal needs to carry a surfboard.
Because they return to SURF!
"Even when you remember its easy to forget
Sounds a lot like "I forgot to remember to forget"
Thanks for the fun! ^^

"I think the Avengers being a mistake was one of the plots."
Weeeeeeellllllll let's take a look at Civil War
I like how Karax is saying "we need more solarite" instead of minerals
"Get them with the ol' crab on the top, crab on the bottom, it's called..." THE PINCER MANEUVER

I love how this mode uses the Warcraft III models included in StarCraft II's editor !
I love how over the course of this playthrough Grant actually sounds like he's losing his mind
He's losing his mind, but in a good way. Unlike some other playthroughs he's done. :p
Tasty crabs. Passive ability. All ground units in a 3 range of the crab on death recover 5 health per second for 4 seconds. Stacking.
Suddenly crabs are more survivable when things are dying.
I'm so disappointed when Grant is setting up the flank attack against the Hybrid he didn't call it the "Pincer maneuver"
Crabs are indeed cannibals, Grant. I used to work in a nature center.
Friendly Bio: *Exists*
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. : Here I go Killing again/and I took that personally/SO I STARTED BLASTIN!

Crabs eat basically anything, including crabs.
It's nice to have a bunch of scientists on the front
also, as someone else stated in the comments, give them surfboats "i return to surf"
and i know this is completely out of left field, but make half of them crabs and half of them scientists, because as mentioned above SCIENTISTS ARE CRABS!
That is literally the normal avenger ability. They respawn at the dark shrine when they die.
Avengers should be revived, but with different names, as we need to change the cast a bit
My guess is the Crab model is from HOS, I’m thinking one of the two Protoss areas with a bunch of caged creatures (the roach evo mission or the last mission of the ice planet)
"Let's jump into sisters in legs"
This would have been the best mission for centurion swarm
The Hadoken crabs...are the best thing ever
The Crabs have the barrier ability, and it's on autocast, but they never used it once
*AVENGERS REASEMBLE*
Two different definitely not out of context quotes from Grant this episode:
“I have Crabs” and “I really like abusing”
Lmao.
So glad this series is bringing out the best of us
Alright honest question has Grant killed more allied units with the stinky stalkers than the Enemies killed?
Yeah
GGG: Are crabs cannibals?
Me who once had cabs as pets: ...yes... :(
I think dead mortal crabs should leave shells behind which other mortals can grab to gain more armor. Legacy of the mortal crabs reaching 20 armor would be great.
Well, this new unit is pure cancer.
Also, nicely done on that pincer attack at 13:20.
Booooo
"Sisters in Legs" Sounds like adult content.
I ONLY NOW REALIZED THAT THERE ARE SENTRIES OF ASTEROID IMPACT THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE NOW
Oh look GGG is playing StarCrabs 2.
15:42 Looks like Moebius Corps is getting Crab Hammered.
As soon as I heard the noise I was like "are we getting death knights?"
13:25 "Crab on the top, crab on the bottom... it's called the Krabby Patty!"
Don't you mean the Pincer Maneuver?
Plot armor when? Xd
Aww, Grant's idea for the immortal was so much better than just reskinning them as crabs...
I'm a fan of the "there can be only one" idea.
~16:00
When grant is talking about Kingler puns.
There’s definitely something with Valerian evolving to be king(ler)
Loved the pincer attack
Man these mortals really put the crush into crushtaceans
This video and you are an absolute delight. Thank you for the good silly times!
23:50 - there should be a reverse sentinel, 2-4-6-8-16 assembling into even bigger sentinels, doubling their size and damage, but also their attack delay each time.
Kaiju Sentinel
They have claws like mantis shrimp
They click so hard that they create a vacuum in the air that sends a wave of energy from the claw
I very sincerely hope that enemy Immortals also get turned into Crab Mortals, but when they activate their barrier the "GIANT ENEMY CRAB" song plays similar to Disco Sentry.
CRAB IMMORTAL CRABS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE BECAUSE THE IMMORTALS ARE LIKE CRABS SO NOW WE CAN MAKE A CRAB RAVE sadly they can't rave yet. Great job with the memes
Grant i really enjoy the content you have been putting out there and the fact you never seem to give up have a good day
I may be wrong, but the crabs might be from the Nova Covert ops mission on that beach resort world, Tyrador IX. Maybe it's a critter for that planet, or was planned to be one. That's my best guess.
*(Edit1)* The crabs' attack might be based on the Pistol shrimp that can shoot a knockout blast that gets as hot as the surface of the sun.
*(Edit2)* I say yes, have the "Plot armor" passive ability for the Avengers.
Instead of recall or something:
Restore 50% shields and 50& HP
Spawn a cheap hard counter against the last unit attacking
You know, because the hero always barely survives and suddenly help comes from somewhere
That ending cinematic looked kinda like a HotS end mission cinematic but instead of zerglings running around it was just a bunch of tiny zealots
There is only one step for the crab cycle. And it is crab.
13:30 Pincer movement was RIGHT THERE. TRIGGERED.
i think the mortal needs to be melee and have the jump attack that the zergling have in HOTS
I want to see a maxed army of mini zealots fight a maxed army of zerglings
Saaaaaaame although I suspect the Mini Zealots would win.
What if the Immortal crabs had the Immortality Protocol upgrade from the WoL campaign Thors? They’d die and become invulnerable, then revive, making them a frontline (melee) unit that just stays in the front forever
BROTHERS WITH ARMS, EH?
I expect Annihilators to get literal machine guns as their armament.
by being mortal, the crabs will ascend to 'immortal' after it died.
Not having shields will probably be a much smaller downside once repair beam is unlocked, since it'll just make them really easily topped up
13:26 pincer attack
Of course: invisible cows and crabs make crabby patties. The cows are invisible so the plankton can't get the formula
I look at this mod and think oh it’d be really fun to play but then I think I don’t think playing it could possibly be better than watching grant play it and seeing his reactions to the memes.
About the Avenger Respawn,it would be fun if they respawned differently( different stats) to represent the plot advancing
Thank you for the video.
gently pat and hug the orca to reserruct
Poggers theres warcraft 2 in this. Underrated game.
We're being attacked by giant...crabs!
Hit them with the shampoo!
Are the crabs from nova covert ops beach mission?
Mini sentinels seem to have a fairly big hitbox, it should probably be somewhat reduced. And on the topic of killing mid-warp-in sentinels, if you destroy the pylon on which they are warping do you get both a refund and mini sentinels? (or switch modes on an energizer).
"If I was a crab I'd be a cannibal." -Grant 2022
When the disco rave is unleashed the crab mortals should start raving as well and become unresponsive
So can you click on the baby zealot repeatedly to hear all it's expanded voiceless? For the memes.
As those two guys said bring back avengers recall and call it “plot armor”
Really wish the dragoon had been the unit that got crabbed. I'm pretty sure Grant has even referred to dragoons as protoss war crabs at some point. Also it would explain the bad pathing.

Actually the crab models in this episode are models from warcraft 3. The non-reforged version.
They carcinized the protoss. Thats how you know Stetman was right when he claimed they could conquer the universe
You should give the hybrid dominators a whip to attack with and call them "hybrid dominatrix"
Salvation will be a blast with Nerazim Stalkers killing a few of Vorazun's own units.
The crabs should spit as a ranged and have a melee attack, and Mr Krabs voice lines.
Grant spent all episode setting up that pincer attack
I feel each Avengers should have their abilities like the deadpool one can't die and just revive with full hp but is always taking tick damage bc he has cancer.
Captain starcraft has a shield toss
And so on lol
It would be a mess to microcontrol, yet interesting to see
Not going to lie, I'm a tiny bit disappointed that Grant didn't go with "pincer manoeuvre" when ambushing the attacking hybrids. Just a pinch.
Enjoying the series so far, though.
Can we give the sentinel a button that makes them just self destruct into their two baby sentinel forms? lol
Avengers feel like, Yeah I can teleport a bunch of units behind enemy lines, but they're bad units so not much gained. With the "plot armour" it will be possible to tp them into battle and then as they die they tp back, making them very efficient.
The immortal should have a surf board since they never stop talking about coming back to surf
