That's a better range of robot types than I expected. I'm dead, I'm super dead.

As SB says, a lovely variety of bots. Here's some thoughts from me.

WIRKLICH GUTE NaMEN (PizzaGuy2020): Long reach will be useful, also keeps opponents away from what looks like a shoddy and fragile extender job. Is it invertible?

BLADE BREAKER (Thrackerzod): Going to be powerful and damaging, provided it can hit bots with the normals. Another non invertible one.

LAND OF THE SPINNING SWORDS (Kungfooey242): What weapon motors is this packing? Be interested to see the contrast with Blade Breaker re: width of the weapons and the fact that normals exist.

GLAIVE (Wacky Bob): Side hammer? As long as the wedges are decent then it can do a lot of decent work. Many of the other's sides are open to eating.

SHOGUN WARRIOR (RedAce): Spinners beware, this will be really potent against them.

IN COLD BLOOD (090901): Flipper? Nice loophole abuse here. If the AI is willing to leave robots upside down/if the bot is capable of OotA's then this is a potent entry.

SPIRIT OF WEABOO 3 (Somebody): This one's success is a big DoW one. Against the spinners it's in trouble, the weapons won't last.

Predictions:

Blade Breaker vs in cold blood: icb to exploit BB's lack of being invertable. immobilisation or OotA.

Wirklich vs Glaive: The length of Wirklich will be a problem here for Glaive. I think it might take the plow off and the KO. otherwise a WBP.

Shogun vs Weaboo: A wedge war, but Shogun just outnumbers Weaboo so for that I'm going with it.

LotSS vs in cold blood: LotSS is probably in the best place to just be flipped by icb. OotA for me.

Wirklich vs Shogun: I think the hammer has a massive advantage here. Nice exposed top on Wirklich and its reach seems better than Glaive's.

Shogun vs in cold blood: Wedge war. As Shogun could KO or WBP, let's give it the edge.

At first I was like, 'yeah, I was right'. Then it was 'oh, maybe I underestimated the HS'. And then 'lol, yeah, I was right

I use the action cam thingy Craaig linked.

That's about the same as how I felt about the match.

The splash kinda hid the front two wheels, didn't it?

Yeah. Round 1 gets going and I'm just like - 'Ok, we're starti-huh?'

I figured it would be fitting. Glad you're enjoying it!

While I enjoy it as well, I'm disappointed that you haven't used any Ninja Gaiden music. Especially since the tourney is called Samurai Showdown. [/nitpick]

That's a fair point actually. I'll throw some in for the bonus rounds or something.

And here's the next match:

There was a bit of a havok at the end, but the match was basically over at that point anyway, so I decided it didn't really matter.
