    I thought the last duel we had at Infinity's Avalon Dam was the best reenactment of Zero we had thus far. I'm still glad you proved me wrong again.
  • @Boneworm852
    Eagle Eye: Galm One is hit! "Cipher": My status is fine, do not interfere.
  • @MrLemmy82
    That was some serious attention to detail there! The cutscenes with swapped skybox and the colored afterburners were the icing on top of the cake, great work!
  • @AlbyEonSkylar
    I really love how much effort was put in this, but seeing Pixy's Morgan blow up because someone shot the EML off screen at 7:50 will never not be funny to me
  • PA: Sorry but making a whole remaster or remake of AC Zero would take time, money and resources that we don't have at our disposal. The AC community: Fine... we will do it ourselves.
  • @Cuckler
    Really creative to use the missile camera to cover up the damage/deaths. As someone who makes films around a shotty game and it's dated film editor, I can't imagine how hard this was considering this game doesn't even have one. Definitely one of the best videos this community has produced, love it man
  • @lewhanwen4302
    Clever use of the missile cam to hide loadout changes on the Morgan's part!

    "I was never able to find out what kind of a person he really was. But whenever they talked about him, they always has a slight smile on their faces. That. Perhaps. May be my answer." See you in 2022. Buddy.
  • As Pixy said 26 years ago:"Here comes the snow!" Nice job, Knight! And Happy New Year to you.
  • Dude.. here I was thinking your Infinity recreation couldn't be topped, yet, this recreation just blows that one up from orbit. The use of the ADFX-02 skin mod, the sneaky camera transitions utilizing both TLS and MPBM, the jousting, and the "cutscenes", ten out of ten! Amazing job to all those involved with this!
  • @defaulted9485
    The choreography man, you NAILED the duet. That was some beautifully orchestrated combos and just the enough manuver to match the music.
  • @9skyman945
    It's fitting, after all Ace Combat Zero was released *15 years ago* (from 2021)
  • @manfreygordon
    This was incredibly well done. I love how the person playing pixy even matched the original flying styles through the different stages of the fights.
  • @poised_rl
    I'm 15 right now, Ace Combat Zero is the only Ace Combat I have. Had it since I was 5 and am still playing it now. By far the greatest game I've ever played., thank you so much for making this as I work to being the game on Ace difficulty. Edit: I also have Ace Combat 4 but it just isn't the same
  • @SiriusJuanForte
    The sound mixing was really on point in this duel and I'm surprised you were able to do that edit for the final pass, really well done!
  • @mannyfur6756
    I freaking love how you even used thosw extra Pixy dialogues from the mission! Great work! 🤯
