Also Stormcloud vs Torment vs Icepick vs Venom needs to happen at the end.

My thoughts on the robots:

Interplanetary: I cannot really discuss this robot with its other weapons

predictions :

Pangolin: It does look nice. However, it's a boring flipper.

Reading Steiner : Probably the coolest bot here. It's gonna do a Clickbeetle/Jack Daniels in which it's gonna be rekt and forgotten, however.

Strawberry Trapper : Not bad of a bot considering the opposition... I'd be looking at this one, because it's a clamp. Clamps are always nice.

The Living Whacked : It's so ugly lol

Stormchaser and Stormcloud : I do like Stormchaser. However, those flying antweights are worse than crawlers.

Night Terror and Torment : I guess it's an ok vs. Not quite sure why it has a top stabilizer, shouldn't the bot selfright or not work when inverted ? Still more flying antweight bullsh**.

Carbonize : It looks cool. I can't grasp the frontal design, honestly...

Interplanetary : You know, I honestly think interchangeable weapons are OP because you can just adjust to your opponent and completely bypass type effectiveness. Why isn't everyone (or alternatively no one) doing this ?

Galaxy Evo : I guess it's ok.

Frozen Over and Icepick : Frozen Over is ok, if not generic. Icepick is however the gayest antweight flier of all. It's completely invulnerable and attracts bot attention... seriously.

Deathstalker and Venom : I like those ones. The multibot tactic isn't invulnerable, it has a flamethrower and I like Deathstalker. Both also look cool. However, as much as I like them, I don't think they're going to be effective.

Double 0 : Is that a HS/SnS or just a HS ? Otherwise... yeah. Not bad, but not very special or great looking.

Duraung II : Something in this bot attracts me... is it the fact that it has eyes ? I don't know. It still looks better to me than the other flippers. A flipper not being able to srimech is gonna kill it, though.

The Migliore : It looks like a SFTW to me. I have this nagging feeling the hammer is also fixed the wrong way, but i'm pretty sure frenzy hammers have three-sided normals.

John the Robutt : Someone's going to lose to the reskinned Emergency. In a DSL contest. 10/10 would watch again. Although is it using the old stock components or the DSL updated components ?

Wham-O: It needs more waifus on the skin I actually like this hammer. It looks pretty competitive and yet still good aesthetically. Of course, it's going to be rekt by anything with a wedge, but hey.

Time to reveal the brackets for the Eliminators! The pictures are the order in which the battles will occur.
To the builders with modular robots, you have 24 hours to tell me your configuration via PM. If you don't tell me after 24 hours, then... well, pray you get lucky with the weapon choice I assign you.

I am okay with this.
Title: Re: Death Battle - SBV
Post by: cephalopod on October 25, 2016, 12:15:14 PM
Going for the Flipper but not expecting to win considering the OP Frenzy hammer. I might make an anti-hammer attachment for Interplanetary 2.
Title: Re: Death Battle - SBV
Post by: Thyrus on October 25, 2016, 12:18:53 PM
Up against Kurt.. the only one I didn't want to fight against :D Good luck buddy!

Predictions:

Wham-O over The Living Whacked: Wham-O seems to have a good front protection and the exposed chassis of its opponent looks jucy. The outcome will be decided by the durability of Wham-O's weapon tough

Strawberry Trapper over Double O: A Huge exposed chassis on Double O could be it's downfall. With a few good hits on the axe this could all change though

Carbonizer over Deathstalker: I think the flipper of DS is way do weak to do anything against Carbonizer. That thing is a beast and will go far in this

Reading Steiner over Galaxy Evo: This is the weakest matchup of round one and I don't know who could come out of this. I guess RS's front is protected enought to last long enought to get some blows to the top of GE

Interplanetary over The Migliore: I judge this on experience and say that craig winns this.. with his flipper.. somehow...

Frozen over Stormchaser: Let's face it: Mechavoredisc in da house ladys and gentelman. I know this will sound hypocritical in a few weeks. Also it's that disc against the exposed weaponmotor (what a dumb idea in the first place). And then there is the non excisting chassis of the drone that can'd be touched I guess. I guess I have to let it go...

Night Terror over John the Robbut: this can be interesting if John looses its flippers and scores with the rammplades but I still go for NT

Pangolin over Ouraung II: I simply love the desing of Pangolin. I have no clue wich of the flippers is better and I don't really care... so sympathy points
Title: Re: Death Battle - SBV

I had to make my robot competitive somehow, so I had to pick the frenZy hammer. Plus, I would not write yourself out just yet, because my robot was built right at the last minute. Indeed, I had two different weapon systems, both of which were not deemed to be in real life according to Demon, which to be honest, I agree with. That flipper you have on Interplanetary does look worrying against my robot, so we shall see in combat.

Oh boy, up against carboniZe right off the bat... that's not a particularly good draw... well, whatever happens, it'll be fun to see how Venom performs.

Surprisingly, the people who had modular configs all told me what they wanted, so I have already done the vids and stuff as a result of this. Expect the Eliminators tomorrow after I have had a sleep.

Hey Craaig, what configuration would you use against each robot?

Difficult to say, knowing how flawed the original Interplanetary is.

However

Pangolin - HS
Reading Steiner - Drum or Hammer
Strawberry Trapper - Flipper maybe, or HS
Living Whacked - Ram I guess.
Stormchaser - could be fun to give the Hammer a go here
Night Terror - Rammer or HS
Carbonize - Flipper probably
Galaxy Evo - Hammer
Frozen Over - Hammer maybe
Deathstalker - Probably Flipper or Hammer
Double O - Rammer
Ouraung - Flipper :P
Migliore - Flipper apparently, although HS would've probably worked better
John - HS?
Wham-O - Flipper probably

So that means that the loser's brackets are fully set up! Here's the matchups for the 8 unlucky souls who fell in the eliminators!
Again, modular robots have 24 hours to tell me what weapon choice to go with via PM. Failure to choose on time will result in me choosing your weapon for you.

All right, I'll allow a maximum of 10 grudge matches. If you want to have one be featured, I'd say what you want to see. You've got 72 hours to tell me your matches before I start them. Only one grudge match can be suggested per person.

01: Venom VS IcePick VS Torment VS StormCloud High Drill (From Kurt)
02: Strawberry Trapper VS WHAM-O VS john the robbut VS CarboniZe (From 090901)
03: Ouraung II VS Double-O VS Strawberry Trapper (From GuldenFlame)
04: CarboniZe VS Pangolin (From DragonSteinCole)
05: Reading Steiner and DeathStalker Axe VS Galaxy Evo and Interplanetary Flipper (From Rob Collins)
06: DeathStalker Axe and Venom VS john the robbut (From F1Krazy)
07: DeathStalker VS Night Terror VS Frozen Over VS StormChaser (From Thyrus)
08: Double O VS Reading Steiner VS The Migliore VS Ouraung II (From firestorm999)
09: john the robbut VS john the robbut VS john the robbut VS john the robbut (From Mr. AS)
10: TBD

Just a reminder that you have under 48 hours left until I start the grudge matches. There are 2 spots remaining, so I would suggest getting your ideas in quickly. If the grudge match slots fill up before the alloted time, then I will start them quicker.

EDIT: You only have 24 hours left before I start the grudge matches up. There are still 2 suggestions left.
Title: Re: Death Battle - SBV
Post by: doot on November 09, 2016, 10:49:41 AM
The time limit has expired and we have a total of 9 grudge matches. I'm going for a suggestion of my own to bump the total matches to ten.

So the grudge matches are as follows: (The matches will be done in order of when they were first suggested)

01: Venom VS IcePick VS Torment VS StormCloud High Drill
02: Strawberry Trapper VS WHAM-O VS john the robbut VS CarboniZe
03: Ouraung II VS Double-O VS Strawberry Trapper
04: CarboniZe VS Pangolin
05: Reading Steiner and DeathStalker Axe VS Galaxy Evo and Interplanetary Flipper
06: DeathStalker Axe and Venom VS john the robbut
07: DeathStalker VS Night Terror VS Frozen Over VS StormChaser
08: Double O VS Reading Steiner VS The Migliore VS Ouraung II
09: john the robbut VS john the robbut VS john the robbut VS john the robbut
10: Interplanetary Drum VS Interplanetary Flipper VS Interplanetary Hammer VS Interplanetary Rammer (Extra Battle)

Normally I'd say that the modular robots have 24 hours to decide their weapon choices, but seeing as there are no decisions required (for the first 5, anyway), I'm gonna get on with the matches right away. I will do the first 5 matches in the list and then the next 5 matches. The battle splashes will be up shortly as I have not done them yet.

EDIT: I got the splashes made! :3

The grudge matches special rounds off with another 5 battles of insanity, destruction and vengeance!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07TpQfYCv5c

Rumble Finale:

Rules:
4 robots fight it out until one goes out. The match is repeated with a new robot taking its place and when it gets down to 4 robots left, one will be eliminated and then removed, leaving 3 robots, then 3 becomes 2 and 2 goes to 1.
In the case of clusterbots, I am using your main robot. Drones/Minibots are not allowed.
I am giving all of you builders with modular weaponry 36 hours to give me your choices. You can only have one weapon module throughout the rumble, so choose wisely.

It's time to finish the tournament for good! And what better way to do that than with a 16-robot free-for all rumble where only 1 will succeed?
The vids are in spoilers as I had to split it into 2 parts. Because YouTube. ;P

And now it's time to end off with an awards ceremony! Here are the awards:
Best Robot:
Worst Robot:
Coolest Robot:
Unluckiest Robot:
Most Feared Robot:
Best Battle:

For reference, here are the statcards for all of the robots:

You cannot vote for yourself in these awards (with the exception being for the best battle award). You have 72 hours to give me your awards. ;)

I might as well throw in my own nominations as well.

Best Robot: Carbonize reminds me of what people thought of Warhead in season 5.  Beautiful and destructive.
Worst Robot: The living whacked.  Can't think of much else to say.
Coolest Robot: Easily Interplanetary.
Unluckiest Robot: Ouraunge II actually seemed like a good bot, but it got put against 2 very strong opponents.
Most Feared Robot: John the robutt had me so worried. 
Best Battle: Night terror vs Double O vs Carbonize vs Wham-O.
Luckiest Robot: Even tough it's not a category, Wham-O should not have gotten so far.


Overall, it was all great fun.  Thanks for the tournament.

Best Robot: John the Robutt, because it has the already underrated design of EMER- wait this is an original design, sorry.


Worst Robot: Man I am surprised by the fact my robot is getting so much hate here. The only notably bad part of her was the lifter working at the wrong times, something which I am to blame due to wiring it in the wrong fashion. But the main reasons why I am surprised are due to her battles in a grudge match and the Rumble.
Ultimately, I believe that The Living Whacked would lose to the majority of competitors and got a little lucky against Double O. Hence, I vote it for this award.

Coolest Robot: Interplanetary, although I did nearly pick Carbonize for this award.

Unluckiest Robot: Double O. Not only did it dominate the grudge match it was in that also featured The Migliore, it also happened to be very competitive in the Rumble against several very good robots. Although its losses againsts its opponents in the main series were fair, you have to wonder whether it would have done better with an easier first opponent.

Most Feared Robot: There were three robots that I nominated for this award: John the Robutt, the EMER- sorry an original robot that dominated most of its opponents and would have eaten The Migliore for breakfast. Then Carbonize was another robot due to its deadly disc and powerful srimech that could act as a flipper. Lastly, Night Terror and Torment, simply due to the look of the former. Ultimately, I picked John the Robbutt, which I am glad The Migliore did not have to face.

Best Battle: TBA, as I am still reviewing some for match qualities.

Best Robot: I think, pound-for-pound, Frozen Over. It utterly dismantled Carbonize in the Rumble.
Worst Robot: I was gonna say The Migliore, but after that epic KO on StormChaser, I'm gonna have to give it to The Living Whacked. I love oversized overhead spinners (see my Toreo! entry, if it ever gets past signups), but The Living Whacked was just way too underpowered. A good idea done very badly.
Coolest Robot: Carbonize.
Unluckiest Robot: Think I'll give this one to Strawberry Trapper. Dunno whether Havoks count as "bad luck", per se, but whereas Double-O got the chance to redeem itself in the rumble, Strawberry Trapper didn't.
Most Feared Robot: Carbonize. John the robbut just looks too absurd for me to be scared of it tbh.
Best Battle: Dunno, I'm gonna have to watch through them again.

I think the problem with your bot was that it sort of looked sloppy. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind your bot that much, but it didn't look like much effort had gone into it. The side panels looked flimsy because they stuck so far out from the body, the lifter on the back looked bad and when it fired it often went through the Frenzy hammer. I don't think it was bad for a newbie, and I highly recommend you open a showcase and/or actively post to it to improve your bots.

anyways, my votes:
Best Bot: Interplanetary. Just brillaint use of new age "ro1's new mod herpderp" extenders, and excellent use of interchangeable weaponry.
Worst Bot: The Living Whacked. Just... no. (the bot was slow, looked ugly, was not really in the spirit of IRL, and the way it had 4 hammers was unnecessary. Nice try baconus, hopefully you get it right next time. Keep showcasing in the meantime.
Coolest Bot: Carbonize. Just... yes, all of my yes.
Unluckiest Bot: Reading Steiner. I don't get why this was labeled a joke entry by Rob at some point, and the way it froze up suddenly was odd. We should totally block people from using Frenzy py somehow.
Most Feared Bot: John the Robbut, seemed unstoppable at first but it was proven false.
Best Battle: idk
(unofficial) Most BS bot: Stormchaser and it's drone as that drum had no real supports and just looked naff, and drones and distraction minibots = a dick blister. Frozen over is almost just as BS, but looks better and is cooler imo.

It was a ****ing sh** joke. It simply was not funny, looked straight-faced and serious, and was a absolute disgrace in a IRL tournament. Get. Out. (But in less edgy terms, continue to showcase bots and improve so this never happens again, and prove me wrong.)

There's been worse bots entered into IRL tournaments that were serious entries, so get of your high horse and stop bothering people who entered. He has nothing to prove to you because you are a ****ing bellend. Fair enough I can't say that I am entirely thrilled about the bot Baconus entered, but it's nothing to get so tightly wound up about.

Ignoring opinions achieves nothing. Working on those opinions to improve your bots will.
To begin with, the hammer below the bar seemed unnecessary and unrealistic. The bar moved too slowly for any major damage, so you only could wear things down which made it harder to knock other bots out. The spin up time was too long, so look into changing the motor or lowering the weapon weight. I personally recommend taking off the underslung bar hammers. Try and make the bot look neater with a more bland skin till you learn to use custom texture skins. The slot decals were a good attempt but they made the skin look a bit ugly, but I could see what you were going for by having them kinda match up with the armor panels. Next time, maybe consider using some edge lines added as this should make it look slightly better in my opinion. Perhaps try a shell spinner instead of the bar, so you don't have to put the hammer on the bottom of the bar?

Actually, he can improve and defeat me in another tournament, proving he has succeeded and that my harsh criticism was unnecessary, therefore having something to prove. Also, I am getting "wound up" by it because it felt like he was trying to explain it away as a joke, when it felt like a way of getting out of improving. Also, you saying i am a "****ing bellend"? No sh**, Sherlock. This is the way i dispense advice: caustic, with a side order of opinions. Due to being in a hurry I was not capable of properly putting in advice, so I decided to write this post to give some ideas and thoughts on how to either improve the bot or give Baconus some ideas on what to do next. Apologies for failing to give advice with the criticism, Baconus.

Anyways, apologies to Baconus for the 'spirited' comments, but good luck with the next tournament you enter and I hope we get to face each-other at somepoint.

At the risk of a warning... You dispense advice like a cunt, act like one too, and again seem to think beating you in a fight would be a mark of progression, which is irrelevant. How about instead of leaving a vitriolic post and making sure you bold and italicise "Get. OUT." just right, you use that time instead to leave the advice or constructive criticism you 'didn't have time for'.

It would have him beat one of his biggest detractors and someone who has had it out for him since day one: cathartic and allows him to seek advice from others and would ensure I had no reason to act like a "cunt" to him, which I have toned down now to give some better advice: first comes the hatred and salt, secondly the decent advice. Unfortunately these often end up in desperate posts but eventually they get some advice so there is a benefit to it all.

Okay, can we just all shut the hell up before this flame war goes out of bleedin' control and someone gets banned? Baconus' entry was not a good joke entrant, we get it, you don't need to relentlessly go at each-others throats as this is getting ridiculous. Avalanche, I get that you want to give Baconus_Yum criticism, I understand that, but being a total prick about it is not the way to go about it.

If anyone continues this off-topic discussion any more, they'll get a warning. I'm tempted to just apply a warning to Ava, anyway, as he went OTT for no good reason, but I'll give everyone a verbal warning first.
