VG Showdown- Signups

[freeziez]

Freeziez tries to make a successful tournament, take 3.



The theme of this tournament is a Video Game Showdown. Each bot must be themed just like a video game (no limitation to how obscure/ridiculous of a game, as long as it is a real video game). People may have 2 bots of the same game, however, they must be different aspects of the game. If two bots are too similar, I will not ask you to rebuild, just re-theme.

YOU CANNOT PICK RA2 OR ANOTHER ROBOT BUILDING/FIGHTING GAME AS YOUR THEME.

Rules:

- Standard DSL MW
- Reskinned DSL Tournament Arena (it's not too bad, I promise)
- 3 minute matches
- No NARmour (if this is still a thing)
- 1 Havok restart, 2nd time eliminated
- BFE, AAM, NCR, Thyrus glitches NOT allowed
- No hax mode
- Cannot use DSA
- Bots with treads get a 60 kg weight cushion.
- Judge bursts are not allowed
- No multibots
- No armor attached directly to the chassis of the robot
- Cheatbot2 components are not allowed
- Each bot must have at least 2 wheels

Bracket style:

The first stage of the tournament will be a 32-person heat challenge, split into 4 groups of four. The top 2 robots from each group will then move on to a double-elimination knockout round of 16. Any tiebreakers will be settled with a single 1-on-1 match. Grand final will be best of 3.

Is this stock-style unrealistic or unrealistic-as-in-not-IRL-but-Standard-instead?

[freeziez]

What do you mean? Like what are both of those specifically?

(edit): I'm assuming the latter, but i'm just making sure.

Unrealistic like stock or dsl standard I think is what he asked.

welp

[cephalopod]

You know there are 3 types of building - Stock, DSL and IRL. Unrealistic usually refers to the Stock style (anything through anything, stacking allowed etc). Standard/DSL-S/etc refers to DSL Standard, where it's not IRL realism but not unrealistic either (no spinners through batteries/wheels etc).

Yeah, I meant standard. First post edited. Thanks.

[S.T.C.]

If its standard then you can remove the "unrealistic" part.

Really, really??
I'll probably enter too.

[nicsan2009]

Please be hw I have just the bot.

[Naryar]

DSL-S MW yes yes yes

also ima entering a juggler into this, prepare your buttocks

[Natster-104]

- Moving weapons may not touch the ground initially. It is OK if a robot is flipped over but not if weapons hit the ground when the match starts.

What purpose does this actually serve btw?

why is that still there

removd

[freeziez]

Alright, so since the vote hasn't changed much, it looks like the tournament will be DSL-S MW.

Any comments or suggestions? Let me know if you think this should go to signups.

[rnifnuf]

Does the bot have to be based on a specific video game or can it be based on a common element across multiple games?

[freeziez]

Specific video game. I don't want 16 bots called "gun."

[freeziez]

so yeah, is this okay for signups?
