N00b Warz 2 Videos and Predictions of DOOM

Muahahaha



SPLASH

Y'all will be fighting for this reused prize! (And maybe a secret one too...)

Runner up and Voting winners will get a Silver version.


Good luck to all.

------------------------------------------
ROUND 1


Ohhhkay so a Flipper with a few spikes vs a HS. Obviously the HS wins, right? Seems logical...
Wrong. Not saying the HS doesn't win, but this is very close. Mole's spikes seem to clog up Shredder's weapon, and being pushed around by the Flipper's stronger drive won't help either...
Shredder wins barely, DM was KOed by the hammer. I thought it was funny that Der Maulwurf was ahead on points. XD


Anyway Death By Stripes has weapon overload for a N00b bot and fast drive but pays the price by not being able to self right and the fact the weapons themselfs are all facing the wrong way. XD Butcheroo has slightly weaker drive and ramplate defense but has some horribly exposed extenders for the weapon. Both have huge hunky-chunky wheels aswell.
Butcheroo wins, KOing DBS.


Ok, some people might have thought I rigged this so that these almost-clone bots fight each other but that's not the case. Both have about the same weapon, n500 is faster but Craaig can (kinda) self right. Will come down to luck mainly.
KPBOD wins. Reigning champ nerd500 is KOed!


Well........this match was short...
ICAGB pulls a semi-Mr Claws and wins by TKO. PS: I filmed another match to see what would've happened if HEAVYAXE didn't go flying, and it won. :O


While Ayu has the drive power to get under Boxie 1, it still needs to get past the whirling dervish of maces while not taking damge itself. While Ayu's weapon itself is destructive, it has a pretty wimpy motor to power it aswell... The backs of each bot are exposed too, inviting some weapons to hit the target.
Big Box 1 wins by a hair, Ayu is KOed.


Some pretty good action in this one. With 6wd, KCroc will obviously pummel Crush 2 around the arena, but can Crush take the hits long enough to get some of his own? KCroc has some nasty exposed wheels aswell which could be a hayday to chop off. Lots of pushing and ramming in this match, but lots of desctruction aswell.
King Croc wins by KO. It may not look like it on the splash, but Crush has even shorter reach than HEAVAXE...


I wasn't sure how Duck wanted his bot AIed but it had a smartzone right above the wedge so I made it a flipper. Both Delta and RET! have exactly the same drive so it's a standoff on the push factor but RET! has a flipper and Delta has a nasty weapon so it could go either way.
Delta smears RET by KO.


The Flails may fail as R0B0 put it but it's one of the best HSs on the field. Axebot has a pathetic weapon and one of the hugest chassis' in the tourney but has good drive and could pin FF? FF has an exposed top and Axebot has exposed....exerything. Who knows, maybe a miracle could happen...
No I didn't rig this, Axebot wins by KO.


Well...I wonder who will win...?
Viper pretty much vaporizes THN as expected with a KO.


This was as close as all of you expected. Both weapons have the same hitpoints, Sucker's is more powerful but Salamander has better drive and some ramplate defense aswell. Both have strengths and weaknesses. Quite a bit of action in the beggining and it slows down a bit in the end is why I only gave it 3 stars.
Suckerpunch BARELY wins on a WBP. Both bots lose all their weapons. XD


Dissapointingly un-action packed. They goof off for about 30 seconds then one gets TKOed.
Warfare wins by TKO. Cheez-it gets stuck on it's side.


Not a bad match, though not near as action packed as say C.R.U.S.H. 2 vs KC for instance. Both have chassis wedges and Burst weapons, but SI is zippier and 0-G has thicker armor (Uhhhh I think). Whooooo willll wiiiiiiinnn???
Sudden Intervention by KO.


Radiation doesn't have a lot of updraft and has normals on his weapon, but has wedges and can break TDL's traction with the ground. TDL has a pretty nasty weapon. Both bots are fairly quick and can flank each other pretty easy too.
TDL wins with a KO.


Short. Incase you're wondering, GS's weapons is 2 icepicks on a DDT.
VR wins by KO.


Unstoppable force meets immovible object....LOL JK. Sledges are awful weapons but they are pretty heavy and when you have enough of em...watch out. Saw 3's wheels are exposed so he will have to get in pretty fast if he doesn't want to be pushed aside and KOed...
HAZMAT wins by KO.


At first glance you'll be like "OH NO DEJA VU FROM MATCH 4!!" but it that doesn't happen thankfully. It's also really funny the 2 bots with the word OWN in their title fight each other in the 1st round. XD Anyway, OWNER has some pretty fast drive and C-OWN has some reeeally exposed extenders, but miracles have happened before...
Well not this time. C-OWN simply doesn't spin fast enough and gets beaten by KO.


------------------------------------------
ROUND 2



1st Rumble! Ok 2 HS and 2 hammers....none have too great of reach exept Butcheroo there. Quite a bit of variety in the bots aswell...IDK how I couldn't say this could go any way.
Sonny sure is the King of winning by a hair. Everyone else is TKOed.


K, the bots in this rumble aren't bad overall (exept Axebot... ><), with decent weaponry and speed etc generally. Don't really know what to say that will make it more "dramatic" or anything.
Delta wins after KOing KCroc. Axebot and Big Box are immobilized.


Pretty violent but slows down quite a bit at the end so I cut the boring part out for you. All bots are pretty powerful for the tourney with a HS, a SnS/HS, a popup and a poker. Suckerpunch has goofy driving, Warfare has high weapons, SI has and exposed chassis, and VTAK is slowwww. Who knows?
Suckerpunch beats Warfare in a WBP. Viper and SI are KOed.


Good Poker, hammer with decent defense, good HS, and fast sawbot. I really don't know how to make good descriptions for rumbles....
OWNER wins by KO after pushing HAZMAT into the hammer. TDL was KOed by HAZMAT and VRaptor was immobilized.



------------------------------------------
Round 3


Dude, there is no WAY I'm gonna tell you who wins or even give a hint. Watch it.
NOOOOOOB WATCH THE STUPID MATCHH!!!

Delta: OMG ITS TOTALLY ORIGINAL !!!!!1 Can fair well unless it's against a wedge.

CRUSH 2: It's not that bad and might be the second best of the hammers.

Kind Crocodile: F-A-S-T. Either it's speed helps greatly, either it flaws the bot.

The Hot Noob: SFTW anyone?

Warfare: Fail. Barely a threat anyways.

Death By Stripes: Bleh. Weak HS. I remember one of the NW1 HS had a somewhat similar weapon setup and it failed at doing damage.

Gold Scorpion: How the heck does that works exactly ?

Axebot: ...

Sudden Intervention: Another true popup. Can fair well if it can self right, and it won't get stuck on it's rear finally.

Der Maulerwurf: Does that just has 2 static iron spikes ? *COUGH*

Butcheroo: Best of the hammers.

Fail Flail: Hmm. Interesting. We'll see how the design fares.

KPBOD: Massive amount of faggotry in that skin. It hides a good bunch of weapons under it's weak apparence however... dark horse?

Viper the Assassin King: Too good :pissd:

OWNER: Heh. It's not as cool as CRAZY WHEELIE SAWBOT but it can get a few wins depending of the wedge's efficiency...

The Dark Lord: HEY! It's even more original than our first contestant ! (And better too...)

Robot Eating Terror: Poker? With a wedge it can fair pretty well.

Radiation II: Not bad. I can see this winning as long as it doesn't loses a pickaxe.

Vicious Raptor: Yes, it's Raptor on steroids. Weapon somehow fails however.

Cycl-OWN: And again, R0B0 proves his bots can be full of win... Not only the skin pwns, but the name as well.

THE BOX!: *cough*

ICAGB: Probably will have interesting matches.

Big Box 1: Second only FS with mine. I think it can defend itself pretty decently.

Suckerpunch: Gah! I really had to fall on one of the best competitors, huh ?

Ayu the Popup: Snapper 2 fail

Salamander: It's not bad. Gut rips pretty well, decent speed. Probably going to lose my first fight though...

HAZMAT:I can see the spinner being slow as heck, the bot pinned and destroyed easily. But don't know.

0-G: Weapon setup fail

CIBOD: Gah. Average. What can i say really ?

Shredder Evolution: Slightly more dangerous than Joe's HS.

Saw 3: A fairly decent array of weapons will help this bot.

HEAVYAXE: Reach fail

Delta: Even in my earliest days, big, exposed wheels were a cardinal sin.

CRUSH 2: Good weaponry. Probably the best hammer.

Kind Crocodile: Decent by this tourneys standards. Can it do enough damage though?

The Hot Noob: The 25 kg hammer has always sucked.

Warfare: It would be okay if it's opponents were 10 feet tall.

Death By Stripes: Bad weapons are pointed the wrong way, making them worse weapons.

Gold Scorpion: I think it's supposed to be a hammer...

Axebot: In the words of Clickbeetle: "It's...big?"

Sudden Intervention: I had a MW back in the day with that same design. It sucked.

Der Maulerwurf: It looks like Thermidor II's retarded half-brother.

Butcheroo: Honestly, I have no idea how it will do.

Fail Flail: Flails fail.

KPBOD: I like it. I don't know why either. Probably because it captures what this tourney's all about.

Viper the Assassin King: Because Viper could really stack razors like that when he started out...

OWNER: The weakest parts of this bot are the ones that are the most likely to get hit.

The Dark Lord: *Agrees with Naryar*

Robot Eating Terror: It's like someone took ALARM and fed it steroids and a flipper.

Radiation II: Actually, it's not bad. Let's just see if the drive fails or not.

Vicious Raptor: -See Axebot-

Cycl-OWN: I dug it off of my old computer, and re-skinned it just for this tourney. It's about my 4th or 5th bot ever.

THE BOX!: If you squint your eyes, it looks like a smiley face...

Is Chocolate A Good Bot?: No.

Big Box 1: I like the weapons and skin, but not much else.

Suckerpunch: I build a design similar to this back on the old forums, and it actually wasn't bad.

Ayu the Popup: It looks like it should be a MW.

Salamander: Invertible, decent weaponry, good armour placement... Probably the most well-rounded bot here.

HAZMAT: It's done as soon as a hammer goes.

0-G: Why is the saw above the hammer?

CIBOD: :D

Shredder Evolution: It might be okay, but I'm not thrilled about it's chances.

Saw 3: Big wheels are BIG. Other than that, it's pretty good.

HEAVYAXE: It's arms are too short to out-reach a 2 month old baby.

Suckerpunch can't even beat Coal Miner so you have a pretty good chance actually.  Also, the bot tends to veer to the right when the weapon is in motion... so you might get a face full of fat wheel and have a feast. Never know.  

My second revision of Suckerpunch had battle axes instead of the razors.  That version stood up far better because the axes never broke off.

I consider your bot to be one of the better ones in the tourney too... so it is a good matchup.   >:D

It can self right..if it runs back real fast and uses the weapon,but it can (rarely) self right without having to drive in reverse.

I did put a tall smartzone on it that sticks out the top and bottom so it's a popup right side up and a flipper upsidedown.
Sure, I'll change it if you want.

This'll be good. Not happy with my draw (Theoretical high chance of losing) even though this is a fun tourney. Atleast it's just a chassis wedge.
