I now have a name for my unborn child, and that name is NINEBALL. Seriously, I haven't heard a name that rugged and manly since I first met my buddy Thundercock "Bear-Kicker" Armstrong.
@Palkia571 Use Grenade Launcher arms with the extra ammo 50 percent increse back unit (Or something like that) and just hit him 7-8 times and watch what happens :D Just make sure u get a good ark or the best time to hit him is when he is using a blade wave.
My typical experience playing an Armored Core game "Oh my god, this game is so much fun!" Hours later "OH MY GOD, THIS GAME IS SO FUCKING FRUSTRATING!!!" Later... "Trying to create the perfect AC is so cool!" Hours later "TRYING TO CREATE THE PERFECT AC IS FUCKING FUCKED UP!!!" Later... "The controls in this game are so great!" later.... "THE CONTROLS SUCK!!! WHY CAN'T I JUST LOCK ON TO ANYTHING LIKE IN ZOE!!!" And that about sums it up. It's the game you hate to love.
@MsPs2master a very, VERY fast floating leg part, movement ability about 700 or something, (not sure,) and an inside orbit cannon ( dispenses right above you when used)
He was one of the hardest AC ever to beat in his final form.
One thing is, in armored core 2 AA, our laser blades don't have that motion trail effect you see on Nine Ball, Stinger, and Nine Ball Seraph until now you see it in Armored Core 3 and up for PS2 versions. to me its cool to see that. plus I've played all armored core series since 1997. im a 14 year veteran Raven/Lynx.
@IRUKANJI it has to do with the best generator and as you may have seen the wight limit was over the limit cuz of a cheat that i personally used everything else ha sto do with how you contol the ac
@1WickedJester No it isn't, the official name (as verified by From Software) is actually Nineball Seraph. Even model kits have been released to confirm this
@zexion1000 The old parts are legacy parts damn it. it was meant to be there so that you can make every cover AC from the first to LR..LOL made up stories...
now in the mars arena, ever noticed that your operator told you "It seems to be an OLDER model." which would mean Ac 2 another age is the future of last raven, [imo]
and Nineball in the mars arena was just there on a rampage since i beileve the Nineball model still has somewhat an anger spirit of hustler one, taking down High ranked ravens, after his defeat in the mars arena, the government collected samples of that mech and remade him into nineball seraph, once again, out of control.
In armored core 3 SL he was known as hustler one. first time hearing the name pop out with nineball as the ac name.
in his defeat in the arena in Silent line, which you were suppose to defeat him.
Came back for a rematch in Ninebreaker. advancing his mech just so that he could beat you. in armored core last raven you'll notice the old parts you could use for nineball from armored core two another age. [Nineball from the mars arena] :-Next comment-:
@TheHitmaker190 dam the comment is 7 months old [then again yours is one month old] figured now that i read up the actual Armored core Wiki, and never played silent line, but told that hustler one was in the arena but. yeah, [i got fooled and corrected with the truth]
my most importan parts were 2 of the big shoulder missiles (the ones that deal 6000 damage) a hovering legs with lots of mobility, optional part for better turning (the better turning really shows).
Basically I stayed on the central circle and waited him to go down then start to strafe around him, launching missiles from kinda close to him)
6/5 missiles and he was done for (hardest part is having him in sight when hes about to land)
@Tetherwing put on karasawa, get a medium AP with great mobility/jump ability and great energy regen.
after you open the door kill as many machines as possible before the ACs spawn after you've killed everything around the first corner(from where you entered all the way to where the AC's enter), more machines will spawn where you entered. here's where you wanna go into limiter release and go fucking ape shit on any remaining MTs the AC's won't be able to keep up with you in limiter release OB.
This mission only took me a couple tries and this was back when I thought a huge AC with a lot of firepower and huge amounts of armor was the answer to everything... the only mission that took me a few days to beat was the one where you were against 3 AC's in the deserted city... only problem with Nineball Seraph was that he moved to freakin' much... but then he got faceraped and my friends hated me for beating it before them
The tougher way to beat him is in a tank. I did that once for a challenge. Missiles, Karasawa, Grenade Arms, or Bazooka Arms are recommended for your first time fighting him though.
Im going to be honest, when i first bought AC2AA i didn't know what i was getting myself into, i built AC for looks not performance and i remember being "fired" as a raven, bought AC3 same thing. About 3 years ago i played AC3 again to give it a dying chance LOVED IT. too bad SL, Nexus and 9ball never got published in my country (every copy of every AC game is rare here). Now im playing AC2AA again and thinking how the fuck im supposed to beat this guy w/o a PLUS file :3

Ooooo, you did the biggest no-no to the whole series when you 1st started playing. Well, at least you learned, and now you're loving the series. Cannot wait for AC5!
This enemy was SSSSOOOOOO much harder on the PSX title "Master of Arena." The room was big and dark so that it was hard to see him and he'd transform into flight mode which made him faster in a larger area AND IF THAT WASN'T DAMNING ENOUGH there were no extensions in MOA so if he got behind you (and he did) you had to turn tu face him manualy, by which time he was already going back into flight mode and disapearing in the black.
I dunno, while it technically is, the advancement of technology between AC1/PP/MoA and 2/AA is more than strange, I know this is down to the PS2's power and all, but they go back to before Phobos and what not with AC3/SL/NXS/LR/NB and still, thats even more advanced it seems, and even further in to the past with 4/FA. It's very odd, at first I put it down to the Great Destruction BS setting certain regions of the globe back technologically or something, but now I put it down to lazy storytelling
you should pay closer attention to the stories in AC3 to LR. In AC1 there was just a great war people go under ground and corporations gain power. In PP its about the Human Plus and the Phantasma projects. MoA is about taking revenge on 9 Ball (Hustler One). AC2 deals with someone trying to bring back the projects from PP and MoA. AC2AA is the aftermath. AC3 is another war that made people go underground but this time an AI know as the CONTROLLER is in control of everything that happens there.
Also in AC3 the CONTROLLER tries to kill the surviving humans of the war toward the end. People escape the CONTROLLER to the surface and realize that the surface is no longer destroyed, that's it is now full of life. SL is the corporations gain control and send out teams to explore the surface. One part of the surface is unexplorable anything that goes in doesn't ever leave and you are the Raven sent to fined out what the shit is going on. Only to fined out that the CONTROLLER is operational.
NXS War of the corporations brakes out because some resource that a new corporation Discovers. Nothing ells is known about the resource they don't even know if it is actuality a resource or is it a lost project, I think it's Phantasma Project. The corporations fuck up unleash suicide weapons and destroy a city and shit is silent, they stop fighting. During this time AC pilots are training trying to be the best of the best. The whole thing is staged by an "unknown". The Unknown is either Jack-0
or Hustler One (the A.I version that you fight in the end of ACAA), no one knows. In the last mission is kill 9 Ball. Finally LR some bullshit war is starting between Jack-O and the corporations. Who gives a shit you just end up fighting machines called Pulverizers. (I am shore I fought them before maybe in AC2 the final mission, the very last AC you fight). They resemble the Phantasma Project. The Pulverizer ending is the one that acquires in the series. You are the last Raven.
I could never be bothered to pay that much attention to the stories, they are pretty half-hearted, but then they don't need to be that in depth. I know they weren't, but I treated them all as independant stories, not linked in any real way, like Star Wars novels, on the verge of canon and non-canon. I suppose that does describe in part the strange technological advancements. Also, if mechs were underground and never allowed to leave in AC3, how comes you got mission contracts to the outside?!
It was all underground. It was all synthetic. You make ask "then how big was facility?" I have no clue. Its like that in all armored cores. In some levels you jumped in to deep fucking holes. Imagine digging a hole that's as deep as 7 or 8 twin towers on top of each other and as wide as 5 NYCs combined. That's a lot of space to fuck with so they could do what they wanted, like make parts of the facility to seem like the outside world.
It wasn't just the mechs that were not aloud to leave, no one was aloud to leave, the CONTROLLER prevented that. In one of the briefings they tell you that everything is synthetic but not a lot of people read the briefings. Most of the story is told through BRIEFINGS. In NXS through LR they added in NEWS, and EMAILs. People don't expect that, skip briefings, don't read emails or the news, then they say the story was shit cause they weren't handed the story on a silver plate.
You can't possibly be suggesting everywhere you went in those games was underground, it would be pointless for them to go to the trouble of making everywhere seem outdoors on such a massive scale. Like there were missions when you could see clouds, stars and the moon, that was all a projection or something onto the ceiling of a cavern? Bullshit. That's far fetched.
In AC3 that's how shit is. You may not like it, but its a game dude. In some games 1+1 is atom bomb. I will say this again everything in AC3 was synthetic. It was part of the story. Don't like it too fucking bad cause I didn't make the game so you can't come complain to me about it. lol. In other AC games you were sometimes under ground not all the time.
DUDE ur totaly right. idk why other people that would own this game (such as you and I) wouldnt read the Briefings. The game series is great. just some games were never that good. I pretty much have all the Games for the PS2 Version. (AC2 AC2AA AC3 AC3Sl ACLR I don thave Nexus or 9B) but i really prefer AC 2 and AC2AA. in the game as you play the last missions we are the Last Raven.
If the info I found is true, then every AC from 3 onwards takes place on a terraformed Mars. If you've followed the AC series it actually would make sense. (Which is why I posted it)
But I'm not ruling out that the info is fan- theory bullshit. I forget which site i found it on and I could not relocate it.
@18CaStRaDoMiS89 What you say makes abit of sense up till the point of AC2 , they do carry on terraforming mars , but the focus switches in AC3 to rebuilding Earth and making it suitable to live on again, seeing as the majority of the population was living underground the surface needed to be reformed and thats when AC3 comes in where the companys are again fighting for control of the surface of Earth , then from there on it takes place all on Earth , Last Raven is to be concidered the last one.
@18CaStRaDoMiS89 AC3, SL, Nexus, and LR do not take place on a terraformed Mars. AC3 starts in one of the undiscovered underground colonies on Earth that have not been re-surfaced yet after the Great Destruction. Notice all the old equipment and structures you protect and destroy in missions are the EXACT same as they were in Armored Core 1. For example: The early mission where you have to destroy the crane/tractors to stop what they are building.
A little tip on anyone who hasn't actually read the game plots on the original OLD ass Armored Core website that no longer exists. After the surface of Earth was habitable again after the Great Destruction. Some colonies were taking to the surface after learning this and searched for other underground colonies who did not yet know the surface was no longer polluted from the Great Destruction. Some colonies took a looong time before being found. The colony from AC3 is one of these.
As for SL, Nexus, and LR. There's no way they can be on a terraformed Mars. Mars could never have a blue sky or vast oceans. And people wouldn't be able to walk around freely like they did in the LR intro video.
Chrome hounds has nothing to do with the AC universe, AC3 through last Raven is an alternate Universe to AC2-AC2AA. AC4 and FA are supposedly prologues but were never confirmed as such.
Excuse my last part, I need to reconfirm my information, AC2 and AC3 being completely separate is just a timeline issue, because anything past Nexus makes no mention of what happened with AC2-AA, so it either happened actually before AC2, or alternate theory crap again.
I remember this one. It took me forever to beat it. Maybe not any more as I have gotten better. I want his ac to use in AC For Answer, talk about some fun times ^_^.
Me:"THE FUCK YOUR ALIVE!? *approximately 20 mins later* Game Over
lol in all honesty, i think he was easier in AC2AA compared to ACMoA. Only reason i got my ass handed by him is cuz the line he said Sent Fear right through me lol. Anyone who faced this juggernaut in MoA will know how terrible this bastard was. XD
This mother fucker took me a year to beat, mainly because I liked my MachineGun answer to everything.
Had like 10 rounds left and pumped them into him as he backed up into a wall. I remember thinking something along the lines of " DIE YOU SON OF A BITCH".
Your AC setup is almost identical to mine except for the color (Dark blue w/ Gold Trim) and the extension.
Your fighting style is similar, though I tend to move around alot more (OB instead of turn extension), and use blade extensively. (Moonlight + Optional Part for blade dmg increase + 135 en supply arms = max 3 hit kill on any MD or lower weight AC)
LOL at your human plus, I can beat this guy in 30 seconds without human plus or any kind of player boost. :P Though to be honest, I've been trying to get my AC2AA to accept my AC2 Data so I can actaully use my Human plus on it for a LONG time now, for some reason it wont find my data so I can't do it, but oh well. I'd love to play you, you seem like you'd be a good challenge as you fight quite similar to how I fight.
I just got to Nineball Seraph yesterday... I got like 12 shots on him with the Karasawa, but I accidentally landed without using boosters and therefore I fell victim to his almighty blade slash :(
nineball seraph here seems kinda slower on the ground but still retains his massive OB speed in the air... and another difference from AC:MOA is that he can use blades while in the air and uses only a single blade to fire a wave while in MOA, he used a cross slash... still his attacking frequency seems to have reduced here...
ook, i kindi faught this guy with just a standard LW AC, but without the turning extensions. The tip without the turning extensions is that, try to keep OB-ing till further notice, then turn your back every time after you over boost, then fly up. then, once you see him in your sights. rain him with the K-SAW
I remember facing him, I would get so mad cause I couldn't beat him which took me a hundred times. Wish I had the game still, now that I am older and been playing Armored Core for years now, I'm sure I could beat him in no time.
this wouldve been so much harder if nineball seraph attacked as often as the normal AC nineball. instead, ineball seraph just OB's around in circles and periodically stops to shoot (pewpew!)
the only hard part of this fight is if u stand still and get moonlit up ^^;
Man... EB Games ripped me off at the Fashion Show Mall... (Yes I live in Vegas) I bought AC2: AA but instead I got the ordinary Armored Core 2 inside the box :(
u so lucky...i only experienced armored core MOA in my child hold...then i only experienced Armored core NB and ACLR...i cant get any old games from any stores...still i m very sastified with this life
i have an emulator that lets me play armored core and armored core master of arena on my PC and other PSX games if you want to know how to get the emulator just ask. (btw wen i played AC&ACMoA for the first time since i first played it in my child hood i was really happy) ahhhhh the memories.
dude im fighting nineball seraph now and i got over 4mill creds and im still not beating the fker im using speed parts armor parts jumper parts u name it i can not beat the guy and its on normal and im actualy good at the game hell it was supposed to be harder to take on 3 armored cores then one mega core mech or the massive MT.

One part of the surface is unexplorable anything that goes in doesn't ever leave and you are the Raven sent to fined out what the shit is going on. Only to fined out that the CONTROLLER is operational.

NXS War of the corporations brakes out because some resource that a new corporation Discovers. Nothing ells is known about the resource they don't even know if it is actuality a resource or is it a lost project, I think it's Phantasma Project. The corporations fuck up unleash suicide weapons and destroy a city and shit is silent, they stop fighting. During this time AC pilots are training trying to be the best of the best. The whole thing is staged by an "unknown". The Unknown is either Jack-0
TheNexTechnoViking 2 years ago
or Hustler One (the A.I version that you fight in the end of ACAA), no one knows. In the last mission is kill 9 Ball. Finally LR some bullshit war is starting between Jack-O and the corporations. Who gives a shit you just end up fighting machines called Pulverizers. (I am shore I fought them before maybe in AC2 the final mission, the very last AC you fight). They resemble the Phantasma Project. The Pulverizer ending is the one that acquires in the series. You are the last Raven.

I could never be bothered to pay that much attention to the stories, they are pretty half-hearted, but then they don't need to be that in depth. I know they weren't, but I treated them all as independant stories, not linked in any real way, like Star Wars novels, on the verge of canon and non-canon. I suppose that does describe in part the strange technological advancements. Also, if mechs were underground and never allowed to leave in AC3, how comes you got mission contracts to the outside?!
jonrobson421 2 years ago
Like the massive MT and many other locations, that had atmospheres and weathers above them.
jonrobson421 2 years ago
It was all underground. It was all synthetic. You make ask "then how big was facility?" I have no clue. Its like that in all armored cores. In some levels you jumped in to deep fucking holes. Imagine digging a hole that's as deep as 7 or 8 twin towers on top of each other and as wide as 5 NYCs combined. That's a lot of space to fuck with so they could do what they wanted, like make parts of the facility to seem like the outside world.
TheNexTechnoViking 2 years ago
It wasn't just the mechs that were not aloud to leave, no one was aloud to leave, the CONTROLLER prevented that. In one of the briefings they tell you that everything is synthetic but not a lot of people read the briefings. Most of the story is told through BRIEFINGS. In NXS through LR they added in NEWS, and EMAILs. People don't expect that, skip briefings, don't read emails or the news, then they say the story was shit cause they weren't handed the story on a silver plate.
TheNexTechnoViking 2 years ago
You can't possibly be suggesting everywhere you went in those games was underground, it would be pointless for them to go to the trouble of making everywhere seem outdoors on such a massive scale. Like there were missions when you could see clouds, stars and the moon, that was all a projection or something onto the ceiling of a cavern? Bullshit. That's far fetched.
jonrobson421 2 years ago
In AC3 that's how shit is. You may not like it, but its a game dude. In some games 1+1 is atom bomb. I will say this again everything in AC3 was synthetic. It was part of the story. Don't like it too fucking bad cause I didn't make the game so you can't come complain to me about it. lol. In other AC games you were sometimes under ground not all the time.
TheNexTechnoViking 2 years ago
I will also say this AC4 sucks dick. Its not like the older ones. same goes for the other new ones, but the multiplayer is good.... sort of.

You're massively defensive over an incredibly average storyline.
jonrobson421 2 years ago
DUDE ur totaly right. idk why other people that would own this game (such as you and I) wouldnt read the Briefings. The game series is great. just some games were never that good. I pretty much have all the Games for the PS2 Version. (AC2 AC2AA AC3 AC3Sl ACLR I don thave Nexus or 9B) but i really prefer AC 2 and AC2AA. in the game as you play the last missions we are the Last Raven.

@TheNexTechnoViking
In Japan the story supposedly goes as so:
Chromehounds is the first in the AC series followed by AC4 & 4A (sometimes after the Great Destruction occurs) then
AC1 (the Justice satellite destroyed in Ac1 was a leftover of the AC4 era),PP,MoA, (67 years go by) then
AC2 (on partially terraformed Mars),2AA (Earth) the Controller is later built on Mars to regulate terraforming & population
Hundreds of years later on a completely terraformed Mars we have AC3,SL,NEXUS,LR.
18CaStRaDoMiS89 2 years ago
wait... AC3 is on Mars?!
Destructerator 2 years ago
If the info I found is true, then every AC from 3 onwards takes place on a terraformed Mars. If you've followed the AC series it actually would make sense. (Which is why I posted it)
But I'm not ruling out that the info is fan- theory bullshit. I forget which site i found it on and I could not relocate it.
18CaStRaDoMiS89 2 years ago
@18CaStRaDoMiS89 What you say makes abit of sense up till the point of AC2 , they do carry on terraforming mars , but the focus switches in AC3 to rebuilding Earth and making it suitable to live on again, seeing as the majority of the population was living underground the surface needed to be reformed and thats when AC3 comes in where the companys are again fighting for control of the surface of Earth , then from there on it takes place all on Earth , Last Raven is to be concidered the last one.
SonicXtr3me 2 years ago
Chromehounds is NOT part of the series....
jenovabreaker 2 years ago
@18CaStRaDoMiS89 AC3, SL, Nexus, and LR do not take place on a terraformed Mars. AC3 starts in one of the undiscovered underground colonies on Earth that have not been re-surfaced yet after the Great Destruction. Notice all the old equipment and structures you protect and destroy in missions are the EXACT same as they were in Armored Core 1. For example: The early mission where you have to destroy the crane/tractors to stop what they are building.
LastNineBreaker 2 years ago
A little tip on anyone who hasn't actually read the game plots on the original OLD ass Armored Core website that no longer exists. After the surface of Earth was habitable again after the Great Destruction. Some colonies were taking to the surface after learning this and searched for other underground colonies who did not yet know the surface was no longer polluted from the Great Destruction. Some colonies took a looong time before being found. The colony from AC3 is one of these.
LastNineBreaker 2 years ago
As for SL, Nexus, and LR. There's no way they can be on a terraformed Mars. Mars could never have a blue sky or vast oceans. And people wouldn't be able to walk around freely like they did in the LR intro video.

@18CaStRaDoMiS89
Chrome hounds has nothing to do with the AC universe, AC3 through last Raven is an alternate Universe to AC2-AC2AA. AC4 and FA are supposedly prologues but were never confirmed as such.
incinerator950 2 years ago
Excuse my last part, I need to reconfirm my information, AC2 and AC3 being completely separate is just a timeline issue, because anything past Nexus makes no mention of what happened with AC2-AA, so it either happened actually before AC2, or alternate theory crap again.

All enemies in Lost Field is basically a boss from the previous games.
Stinger is from Armored Core: Project Phantasma. He was the bad guy AC:PP.
Phantasma is Stinger fused with the Phantasma, of Armored Core: Project Phantasma, He was the last Boss of AC:PP.
Ultimate Nineball is just the super BADASS, and the Final Boss of Armored Core: Master of Arena

lol... the old KRSW is broke... The new one is so weak ( well, not that weak but I still complain about 40 ammo in LR ).

Hmmm....
Your AC setup is almost identical to mine except for the color (Dark blue w/ Gold Trim) and the extension.
Your fighting style is similar, though I tend to move around alot more (OB instead of turn extension), and use blade extensively. (Moonlight + Optional Part for blade dmg increase + 135 en supply arms = max 3 hit kill on any MD or lower weight AC)
Best Game ever btw.

I'd love to play you, you seem like you'd be a good challenge as you fight quite similar to how I fight.

Robotnik722 3 years ago
nineball seraph here seems kinda slower on the ground but still retains his massive OB speed in the air... and another difference from AC:MOA is that he can use blades while in the air and uses only a single blade to fire a wave while in MOA, he used a cross slash... still his attacking frequency seems to have reduced here...

BoltGundam 3 years ago
ook, i kindi faught this guy with just a standard LW AC, but without the turning extensions. The tip without the turning extensions is that, try to keep OB-ing till further notice, then turn your back every time after you over boost, then fly up. then, once you see him in your sights. rain him with the K-SAW
kensaya 3 years ago

this wouldve been so much harder if nineball seraph attacked as often as the normal AC nineball. instead, ineball seraph just OB's around in circles and periodically stops to shoot (pewpew!)

I got anti-ripped off by gamestop/eb games whatever
They said that they only had the disc, it turns out that they had the case, the original box art, and the manual.
The only thing bad about the manual was that the previous owner had stabbed a few holes in it.
I beat all of the lost-fielders with a Tank AC, so doing it bipedal can't be that hard.
