[Badnik96]

Mixed bag here. Some decent robots, some meh ones, and a few blatant re-entries.

My favorites are SM's HW, Avalanche's HW and KingofKings' team.

[El Chickenado]

hoping naryar wins the first round since he is more flippable.

[Thrackerzod]

I like RedAce's bots' theme.

[Philippa]

Wait, when did I enter this? I don't remember that.
Probably should have made some new entries.

#HYPE

Let's hope the changes I made to the AI and other things work out for me :3

Edit;

Really hope I don't get drawn against Kurt, those things look terrifying. If my wedge is good enough I may be able to cheaply beat a lot of these just by them deflecting off of it and flying OOTA.

[DeadGenocide]

I'm against Kurt
This will be.. entertaining?

On a more serious note, yugi, what is the expected schedule for the battles?

Good question. I am have a bit more spare time than usual tomorrow, so I'll get cracking with this then but, for now, you're getting the two beginning matches in Round 1. Be expecting it soon.

h-how is elementos lw even irl?

[RedAce]

Let's see who we got here:

G.K:  Not bad, but they're still hazard clones, so eh.

El Chickenado: Well, they look better than previous incarnations, but they're not much else.

Kurt: Re-entries.  They still should be entertaining to watch.

Scrapyard24c: Re-entry with a slightly different lightweight for the theme.  Next.

Lightning S: Well, the hammer has a servo on it, so it isn't that bad since it's a little more unique.

Squirrel_Monkey: So, we got a slightly ugly HW an a reused LW.  Next.

Conraaa: The names are probably the best part about these since the LW is a recycled bot and the HW is nothing spectacular.

Maka: If anyone is familiar with HFT4, then you should know this HW, andd the LW looks like it might flop around.

Mouldy: Seen them.  Next.

Noodle: I thought Noodle would've sent in that Drum he had, but we got something weaker in terms of combat and looks.  Eh.

TommyProductionsInc: Seen them before, blah blah blah.

Avalanche: I don't even know what to say here.  They're bland, but maybe a bit too bland?

Helloface199: Ya know, the re-entries are making my descriptions easier to type since my thoughts about them are predictable at this point, so I guess that's something I can praise them for.

RedAce: I wish I could've made something a little more original, but on the other hand, kid board game and adult board game theme.

Elementos: Re-entries.  Next.

DeadGenocide: Uhh, okay.

KingsofKings696: Messy, but they might go far.

Naryar: It looks like they might fly everywhere.

Overall, the entries are hit or miss.  Even some re-entires are just there and don't look horrible, in fact, I will praise some like G.K. and Lightning S for some of the better looking ones here.  I'm not expecting much from an IRL tourney (not Battlebots) these days because of things like this.  But this one is pretty hit or miss, a little more miss though.  Ah well, good luck everybody.

Round 1's up and I'm off to bed. See you tomorrow for the rest of this. Also, at the end, I'll be taking grudge match requests and there will be a rumble, too so be sure to think of some requests you may want to make at the end.

[DeadGenocide]

I expected that I would lose from the fact mines was a joke entry.

h-how is elementos lw even irl?

Legit don't even know why it's accepted tbh. But then again, the last tournament had so many dodgy bots the standard for IRL was set kinda low XD

Also, DG, use the spoiler thing please.

Round 2, I really enjoyed this round:

There was the astounding victory for Naryar by eliminating the top seed and in style! Loved Conraaa's oota, too. Great comeback from KingofKing's LW, also!

Any predictions for Round 3?

[Jakewilliamson]

Death warrant just can't catch a break going out in its first fight in a tournament these days, its like following the way with Kan-opener.

[RedAce]

Hmm, only three seeds left in the tournament.  That might change in a heartbeat.

Any predictions for Round 3?

Here's mine:

Naryar vs. KingofKings696

Mouldy (5) vs. helloface199

Elementos (3) vs. Conraaa

RedAce (4) vs. Lightning S.

I'll let you be the first person to tell me if I'm wrong.

[Naryar]

MONTJOIE SAINT-DENIS !

[Scrapyard24c]

All I can say is Rolling Thunder and Lightning got extremely lucky there, especially since all the former did was sit on Pink Slip.

[Thrackerzod]

What was the music for round 2?
