I finally reached Rank A Single Match

As the title says. It's been more than 2 months, the climb from B to A has been tough. My playstyle greatly shifted from this experience. I can't imagine how else it will affect me when I try going for rank S. I try not to watch other matches and playstyles, other than what's posted here from time to time. I noticed that the penalty has been increased to 400 and winning will grant 800 points. If rank B is 1:3, then I guess rank S will be 1:1. I'm kinda hesitant to freely move forward as I'm afraid to slide back to rank B (if that's even possible).

AC: FRAMEWORK

INTRO: A follow up to my previous build, ARCHETYPE, which is a melee/missile focused lightweight build. This time around, I'm pursuing a generalist path that can withstand more varied builds in PvP.

BUILD: This AC features dual Etsujin machine guns for harassment and stagger build up, a split missile hand weapon for EN pressure and up close surprise impact, and a coral based melee for punishment. Body parts are chosen to prioritize attitude stability and resistance while balancing EN generation and boost efficiency. The highlight of this build is not its weapons but its external and internal setups, hence, I coined it FRAMEWORK.

AC: ARCHETYPE

Intro: Almost 2 months of playing the game, it took me a month to post my build. I'm ashamed to post my PvE builds since they can't match up with PvP.

About the AC: I made a ton of builds and this one hits just right, it's fast and quick to react. I chose these missile launchers for the style and short burst. I think it's cool to be able to AB along with missiles and a bonus if I can land a quick slash or kick. This build won't work if I haven't found out about hard locking. Its name was originally called PROTOTYPE since it is a 00 unit, although ARCHETYPE is a mouthful it can be shortened as ARC.

Am i the only one who beat the game, S the game, and reach C rank before noticing there's a hard lock?

My last AC game was on PS2, I didn't imagine there would be a hard locking game mechanics. Yeah, please don't bash me for not reading through all the game tutorials and archives. Maybe I'm just a guy who reads the manual late or never... 😞
