Sitting at 42 minutes in, and I'm trying to figure out why there's still 20 minutes left in the video, asking "Gyle? Did you bring back all the dead space at the end of your vids?" No. It's just WilloWisp being WilloWisp. Simply phenomenal!
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.
Nice to see Gyle pick this battle up and feature it. It's not quite as mega breath-taking as the previous Willowisp cast, but it's still an interesting and entertaining and nail biting battle. I feel kind of guilty for this one, because the other day I was asking him why he didn't usually spam RAS Support Commanders. And we both agreed that after getting all T3 mexes it's usually a case of focusing on what will win you the game instead of more eco. In this battle he tried the eco strategy, with the results you will see when you watch this...
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.
@@UnknownKnower2 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...
“Your top-tier experimental gives you a chance to win. My top-tier experimental lets me build all the other experimental which give me many chances to win. We are not the same.”
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.
Well played Willow, nicely done. Two critical errors that Team 2 made at the end of this game was, a) they didn't keep the strats back and accumulate enough of them for critical mass to overwhelm willows' shields. And b) the large contingent of navy hammering willows base had enough firepower to overwhelm willow's shields despite the hive assistance. What they needed to do was transfer control of navy to one player, get that player to hold fire for 5 seconds and then have all ships fire at the same time. On a side note, I would have placed all the salems to the south of Willow's corner island and then turned them into land walkers. The range on the salems would have hammered the bottom half of Willow's base and he had no T2 arty placed to the south of his base.
I think WilloWisp is my favorite player these days. They are making a great showing out there, and made for some of the best matches I have seen. Great work to WilloWisp, and thank you too Gyle, as always, for the cast!
Gyle, I've been watching your work for nearly as long as you've been making it and I wanted to voice my appreciation for it! Just lovely to watch and I wish to greatly encourage you for what the future holds! Keep it up and thank you for the fun!
At roughly 40:40 you can see a big bank of TotallyNotARobot's T3 bombers making a pass up the left side of the map, looks like there was a large clump of them in a second wave to hit possibly after shields go down. Fullshare sent them just as they were touching the edge of WilloWisp's base, so they instead just parked up and waited for the ASFs to clean them up. Had to go back to see what he meant at the end, that could've ended things. Still, what a W for WW.
The Dualist did a video on how trees affect reclaim values, as Advanced Reclaim Info only includes them when tree clumps pass ten mass. He did some testing and claimed that on tree-heavy maps (including Seton's) over half the reclaim mass can be locked in unmarked tree clumps.
59:29 To be fair one big reason they were on the backfoot was because willow invested in that para. The gamble on the para almost lost them the game. It was a similar situation in the previous game, willow going for game ender and almost losing because of it.
@@UnknownKnower2 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.
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.
Yudi, TheWheelie (farms) and now WilloWisp... my top 3 favourite players in SupCom of all time. Absolute legends. If they only did it once, I'd not be interested. But they pull off turnarounds repeatedly, that says that these guys are in flow and really creative and one can see that they really adapt to a changing match and I love watching this artistry at work.
Little and little over time, I find myself engrossed in your commentary of an ancient game from my childhood that has yet to be replicated. It's always so interesting and calming at the same time. Keep it up and thanks for the videos!
When a team is down to their final man but you check the time and there is still over 15 minutes in the cast. Always an epic video indeed when Skathi are fielded, let alone four. I never played SC but seeing all the little yellow dots fly through the map is fun to watch. Your casts are always very enjoyable to watch Gyle. Thanks for the epic cast.
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.
i've been watching Gyle and Brink since like forever. I've played FAF. These guys are no joke, i can't micro worth a dam, so my score basically dropped to nothing. nowadays i just watch FAF since i can't play it at all. sucks for me, but at least i get to watch people do some crazy insanity plays that are just fun to watch.
I cannot believe what I just watched!!!! My favorite so far I think because it was so ridiculous. Bravo Willowisp and bravo Gyle. Well done. What a great game.
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.
This right here is why I love the Supreme Commander games. The fact that truly, a match is not over until it is truly over is always so rewarding to play and to watch. I’ve pulled a few hat tricks in these games myself (though nothing on Willow’s level) and it is the most satisfying feeling playing any video game. Love this series.
Dude, this is the first time I've watched a Supreme Commander match and already it makes me think this is the best RTS ever. Absolutely insane. Willow is ridiculous!
@Gyle Trees are mainly an energy source, and they are indeed the section of trees being calculated for efficiency, but depending on build power, how fast something can pull those resources (aka: will take one tree or the whole section of the resource). @ your 5min question I think? You were wondering why the trees appeared as they did for rez.
Notarobot wasted SOOO FUCKING MANY NUKES. He had the game in the bag and wasted 3 nukes right at the beginning. Even if the first one didn't land, he could have nuked literally anything else.
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.
I always wondered why you put so much emphasis on a Paragon's power ... i was always thinking it was only a big power generator ... Now i see it's power, it's massive, all encompassing and glorious !!! Gratz Willow !!!
I love how the colors now are opposites for team 1 and 2. makes it so much easier to understand what is going on. I feel like this is something new? maybe I just havent noticed
Despite the enemy overwhelming his teammates at lightning speed, taking over the main continents, Man really went ahead and won the battle of Britain when the American aid arrived, resulting in the final enemy commander cntrl-k-ing in his bunker. In her honor, god save the queen.
I did not know one can get so high while riding a bus as to be borderline delusional about their own capabilities. Thanks Superintendent and Deltharra for expanding my horizons. Also, GG WP willow, what a beast!
Willow the best player I’ve seen. I’ve said it a few times now and this time is no different, yes he had a paragon helped by his team mates to construct that with some resources but he just turned the smallest corner of that map vs pretty much the entire enemy team and a huge navy in to a crushing defeat. I can’t believe what I’ve just watched… unbelievable. Massive fan of willow, where do I get my t shirt please? 😄
About growing old gracefully, or not. Gyle have you read the book Lifespan: Why We Age, and Why We Don't Have To is a non-fiction book authored by Australian-American biologist David A. Sinclair and journalist Matthew LaPlante and published by Atria Books in the US and by Thorsons in the UK on September 10, 2019.
I think I said this on the last willow game, but I have the same take away this game. Stop nuking base's you know to have nuke defence, when there are perfectly decent naval targets to hit. if the moment they had nukes 2 of them would have been enough to give team 2 the naval supremacy they needed and the paragon would have never completed. I am of course arm chair commander here and probably would not rank very high but man when I got a nuke on a naval map I know a great place to put it. Right where the slow things that cant really move out the way are.
Yeah, when the first nuke launched Willow SMD *had* been scouted. I think any of the forward targets would have been better choices. Then, before the 3rd nuke - the one on Super - *Delth's* SMD had been scouted - making the 4th nuke an obvious throwaway. The known presence of BBs coming out of Super's yards would seem like a higher priority. I get TotallyNotARobot was also running the ASF squadron, but those three lost nukes gave Willow all the space to set up his macro-monster. Willow got Eye up in time to scout the launchers before the first nuke - Robot Eye went up just in time to see the Para start construction, about the same time nuke landed on Noble_Ice's shipyards (after he gave them to Super). That's what, 5 launches of difference on Eye coverage? 2 wasted against Willow, one on Super, one wasted on Delth, then one on the SW yards, right?
@@Shadesight Yeah that sounds right. Having a great game is often not about being really good but rather having your opponent make dumb mistakes. I will again say though that I don't play ranked so I don't know how good I am comparatively and I'm sure most in here could beat me. There is so much going on in a game and often having team mates makes it harder because I personally find myself not worrying about some aspects of the battle or getting lasered in on a plan.
Oh, my rating is like, 300, so I'd absolutely be making the same mistakes - but I tend to target nukes more conservatively *specifically* because I expect antinuke defense if it hasn't been scouted. Better a suboptimal nuke than a wasted one. I also tend to be a more supportive player rather than a play-maker, because I know if I overextend I'mma get my head chopped off. I'll still push, but often on a salient to support an ally, either their defense or to help their attack. And you're absolutely right - these games, as in war, are often not about who screws up, but who screws up more and first, and those mistakes and outplays make for great content.
Don't even know who wins but Willowisp is turtling like I've never witnessed!! Never seen three Scathis for one player!!! Bravo Willowisp...win or lose!!
Once the first nuke failed to hit rear air I'd have 100% focused on the middle main island and naval production as the win condition. If TotallyNotARobot had simply nuked purple this was an easy win before paragon completion.
"The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can touch the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginning less time, darkness thrives in the void, but always yields to purifying light."😂
team 2 did good with the early domination and nuke spam, but the first 2 nukes not finding a target and getting defend did make the difference, the naval breaktrough would be faster and stronger, makes it harder to defend and this was a defence just on the edge of the blade, maybe better alpha strikes with the navy would brake the shield defence from nuke, because there was for some time 1 shield gen holding it with massiv support, but this takes always a bit of time to respond...it was a good match, epic
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 think those tree clusters act as a single entity to reclaim... I thought you would know that, Gyle! I'm personally not sure because I've only been in the community for about a year.
Yes and no .... but for this discussion, mostly yes. They start out as a single reclaim entity, but if any tree is *damaged* it breaks the cluster, and each tree becomes individual.
@@Shadesight Bro, i play this game hundreds if not thousands of hours, and for some reason i did not noticed that Lmao. I mean, i knew that some trees can be taken invidually, but i did not noticed that they have to be broken to do that

I’ve said it a few times now and this time is no different, yes he had a paragon helped by his team mates to construct that with some resources but he just turned the smallest corner of that map vs pretty much the entire enemy team and a huge navy in to a crushing defeat. I can’t believe what I’ve just watched… unbelievable. Massive fan of willow, where do I get my t shirt please? 😄
WilloWisp really giving "you're locked in here with me" vibes
What a madlad! Kudos Willow! Exquisite as always :)
Two unbelievable games.
"Why do we have to get old?" - Gyle
"I love growing old with you Gyle." - Me
Really solid cast.
One of the best things about thes vids are the intros nerlyft always makes me smile! Ps hope youre kids turnd of the lights.
Every willow game is a treat
This is my favorite replay so far. More Willowisp games please!
That was one hell of a comeback.
That was an amazing match!!
About growing old gracefully, or not. Gyle have you read the book Lifespan: Why We Age, and Why We Don't Have To is a non-fiction book authored by Australian-American biologist David A. Sinclair and journalist Matthew LaPlante and published by Atria Books in the US and by Thorsons in the UK on September 10, 2019.
How Not To Die by Dr Greger is an interesting read too.
Unbelievable gameplay. What a beast!
Another amazing game!
I think I said this on the last willow game, but I have the same take away this game. Stop nuking base's you know to have nuke defence, when there are perfectly decent naval targets to hit. if the moment they had nukes 2 of them would have been enough to give team 2 the naval supremacy they needed and the paragon would have never completed.
I am of course arm chair commander here and probably would not rank very high but man when I got a nuke on a naval map I know a great place to put it. Right where the slow things that cant really move out the way are.
Yeah, when the first nuke launched Willow SMD *had* been scouted. I think any of the forward targets would have been better choices. Then, before the 3rd nuke - the one on Super - *Delth's* SMD had been scouted - making the 4th nuke an obvious throwaway. The known presence of BBs coming out of Super's yards would seem like a higher priority.
I get TotallyNotARobot was also running the ASF squadron, but those three lost nukes gave Willow all the space to set up his macro-monster. Willow got Eye up in time to scout the launchers before the first nuke - Robot Eye went up just in time to see the Para start construction, about the same time nuke landed on Noble_Ice's shipyards (after he gave them to Super). That's what, 5 launches of difference on Eye coverage? 2 wasted against Willow, one on Super, one wasted on Delth, then one on the SW yards, right?
@@Shadesight Yeah that sounds right. Having a great game is often not about being really good but rather having your opponent make dumb mistakes. I will again say though that I don't play ranked so I don't know how good I am comparatively and I'm sure most in here could beat me. There is so much going on in a game and often having team mates makes it harder because I personally find myself not worrying about some aspects of the battle or getting lasered in on a plan.
Oh, my rating is like, 300, so I'd absolutely be making the same mistakes - but I tend to target nukes more conservatively *specifically* because I expect antinuke defense if it hasn't been scouted. Better a suboptimal nuke than a wasted one. I also tend to be a more supportive player rather than a play-maker, because I know if I overextend I'mma get my head chopped off. I'll still push, but often on a salient to support an ally, either their defense or to help their attack.
And you're absolutely right - these games, as in war, are often not about who screws up, but who screws up more and first, and those mistakes and outplays make for great content.
This just shows you the power of a game ender in the hands of someone capable...lol amazing match
I like that moment in the battle when Willow sayed "Its Willowin time" and Willowed every one in the game
Brah this was so good!
that was indeed an EPIC ♥
What a great UEF turtle!
Oh, wait, there was no UEF in this game? NNNOOOOOO!!!!!
Willowed.... wow - gj
I realy like these comeback stories
Wow what a game... Started a bit slow and dull, until.... Just wow
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.
Cant believe i didn't see this sooner.....VERY EPIC GAME
Growing old is a good thing. It means you are living. Alrighty enough fortune cookie "wisdom". Back to the cast.
Just WOW
What a fantastic defence.
Came for supreme commander, stayed for the BTO reference
Thank you for turning up your microphone volume in these videos :-)
This was one for the ages
Don't even know who wins but Willowisp is turtling like I've never witnessed!! Never seen three Scathis for one player!!! Bravo Willowisp...win or lose!!
Once the first nuke failed to hit rear air I'd have 100% focused on the middle main island and naval production as the win condition. If TotallyNotARobot had simply nuked purple this was an easy win before paragon completion.
In this episode: WilloWisp is going for a walk.
That comeback was fun :)
Wow, just wow!
"The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can touch the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginning less time, darkness thrives in the void, but always yields to purifying light."😂
team 2 did good with the early domination and nuke spam, but the first 2 nukes not finding a target and getting defend did make the difference, the naval breaktrough would be faster and stronger, makes it harder to defend and this was a defence just on the edge of the blade, maybe better alpha strikes with the navy would brake the shield defence from nuke, because there was for some time 1 shield gen holding it with massiv support, but this takes always a bit of time to respond...it was a good match, epic
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 think those tree clusters act as a single entity to reclaim... I thought you would know that, Gyle! I'm personally not sure because I've only been in the community for about a year.
Yes and no .... but for this discussion, mostly yes. They start out as a single reclaim entity, but if any tree is *damaged* it breaks the cluster, and each tree becomes individual.
@@Shadesight Bro, i play this game hundreds if not thousands of hours, and for some reason i did not noticed that Lmao. I mean, i knew that some trees can be taken invidually, but i did not noticed that they have to be broken to do that
Twice in a row, WilloWisp is an absolute gigachad
Willow against the freaking world! Man, they were close holy crap this was a amazing game!
What version (SC, SC:FA) and what mods are in use? I'm not familiar with some of the units nor those... 'hive'(?) structures.
9:06 -BODY ONCE TOLD ME THE WORLD WAS GONNA ROLL ME
BEST MATCH EVER!!!
fun to watch but also shows off all the current weaknesses of all sorts of spam again
Loser of nuking is Totally Not a Robot D
Where can I find the Gyle bingo?
WOW, just wow.
Great match!!!
