Title: Robotic Murder Party 2 - SBV

Well, better late than never, but we're finally here.  Sorry this took even longer.  Much like Deathmatch 2, a somewhat busy life can hamper free time for tournaments.  Handling two tournaments at once is much more difficult than when I first thought, especially one as complex as this.  So, let's get the ball rolling now.  Match-ups, Videos, and Rankings will be posted weekly, but I will do everything possible to record everything within this week.  Won't be easy though.

18+: Well, it's a Armored Poker.
BioPsyche: It's a HS. Nothing Special anyway.
Claws Jr: Okay, another HS. I like this one because it use Redbirds.
Dusk Runner: It's a Popup, I like the skin btw.
EoS: Another Popup, okay.
Gold Dust: an one wedge popup, okay.
Hysteria: It had no chance on this tournament anyway. agreeing with Plerco.
Irony: I thought Redace built this bot? Oh wait, that redalert. Alright next one.
Kill Me Mini: okay, a HS.
Patheticus: FBI, a popup. Alright, nothing interesting on it anyway.
Sans: Actually the worse out of them, it's just a sans chassis and it is just copying Claws Jr.
Seismic Activity: a popup, from redalert. next one.
Sponsor Shark: It's a rammer (it I guessed it right.)
Static Wej: oh hey, an angled HS. Didn't see those in a while.
Thonker BOI: Oh hey, it's even a wrose bot than Sans, it's just a Hammer copyed straight off Redace and it had a name BOI on it. (I didn't add that, redace did I think.)
Why Not Lift: Actually this bot is better than Sans and Thonker (BOI) because it can actually OOTA them in one Flip.

anyway that my thoughts.

If Hysteria doesn’t win this tournament is rigged
Nah, it's rigged if Why not lift doesn't win.

Thoughts and opinions on the entries:
18+: A good way to sacrifice the offence for defence having a lot of casters on the front, though .
BioPsyche: It's a HS. Nothing else to see here.
Claws Jr.:Pretty much a solid HS. I don't have much as to say.
Dusk Runner: It's a pop-up with pretty shallow wedge. Probably the one to look for.
Eos: It's just a pop-up. There's also a hidden image somewhere on the bot if you look hard enough.
Gold Dust: It's a pop-up. With one wedge and samurai sword protecting the extenders
Hysteria: Guessing Sickle didn't get the idea when he first entered.With the main weapon being too high up, lacking the weaponry to out weapon a lightweight, and non invertability. I have no hope for this entry.
Irony: That's a lot of razors on the front. But with the lack of defence measures, it's going to be out weaponed and out gunned when up against another HS.
Kill me mini: Strange going for the Mud runner tyres when other options like shiny hubs are available. But never or less, a decent HS.
Patheticus: It's good to see that FBI finally entered a tournament. Looks good for a pop-up, though with a wide chassis wedge, and a single wedge. This will be out wedged.
Sans: Just a generic HS. Nothing else to see. 
Seismic Activity: Generic pop-up
Sponsor Shark: That's a lot of axe heads. Though looks somewhat slow for a rammer only using two wheel drive instead of four wheel drive. Have to see how it fairs.
Static wedge: That wedge is going to ripped off with ease. But other than that, I do see a potential within the feeder even without the wedge.
Thonker bot: Unusual seeing a Hammer bot out of a bunch pop-ups and HSs. But this looks interesting.
Why not lift: TBH Pretty much useless, being that this is an IRL Flipper in Stock Unreal when the objective is to cause as much damage as possible, I don't see any potential in this entry.

Thoughts:
18+: That's a lot of casters on the front. This will take a lot of punishment, and I'm guessing will go deep into the tournament.
BioPsyche and Claws Jr.: Hmm, they both look pretty effective. That's all I really have to say.
Dusk Runner: Really digging the paint job, looks deadly too. Guessing this one will also go really far.
EoS: It's a popup made by Dark-Al. Then again, it looks much better than mine.
Gold Dust: Looks much like Neon's other popup Rustybucket from Revolution 2. The question is, will it finish as well as Rustybucket?
Hysteria: We've got our obvious champ here. Calling it.
Irony: Actually looks pretty intimidating to me. That's a lot of razors Redalert put on there. The issue I have though is with the exposed motors, as it probably will be a glass cannon with lots of offense yet not much in the way of defense.
Kill Me Mini: Keeping in theme with the Kill Me series, that classic Razor Guy paint job and Mud Runner tires. I'm betting that this one will go far in the tournament.
Patheticus 3: It's a popup. Made by me. I think that's all that needs to be said.
Sans: Oof, this looks really effective. Guessing Sans will go all the way by the power of a massive amount of bear claws, memes, and Undertale. I'm especially scared of this one.
Seismic Activity: At least it looks a little better than my popup.
Sponsor Shark: Now THAT'S a sh**load of weapons. If it has HP Z-Teks though, this will probably go semi-flying everywhere after every big hit due to being quite front-heavy.
Static Wej: Nice trapper 8bean. There's nothing much else to be said about this one, aside from the fact that the plows could be vulnerable to HS.
Thonker Boi: This looks scary as well, but can it last against HS?
Why Not Lift.: Yeah....no.

EDIT: Fixed because my desktop has a spacing glitch.

This should be a good tournament.

Round 1 Match-ups are now up!  Hopefully, I will be able to provide those by at least next week, so you've got some time to predict.

i'm gonna be 'that guy' and say that wen's hammer doesn't look legal with how close the snappers and zteks are.

not really a big deal tho

Oops.  Never noticed that actually.   I was more concerned on how similar it looked nearly identical to a similar bot I built like four years ago, as Wen mentioned.  Doesn't seem to matter too much in the end.

Also, got a good chunk of progress on recordings so far, but I'll be lucky if I can get a video out this week.  Also, if entrants can get back on me on your PM I sent, that would be great.

At long last, Robotic Murder Party 2 Round 1 is now up!

https://youtu.be/FoaQFVOW4IE

I will post Round 2 match-ups momentarily.

(Also sorry about the sound issues with the minigame, but also the sounds from the game are coming in quite fuzzy in general, and I don't know why that was when I was recording).

Round 2 of Robotic Murder Party 2 is now up!  (Slightly late oh well)

https://youtu.be/2P8z9W4SmsU


Round 3 matchups will be posted momentarily.

Also, there might be a slight delay on rounds since the monitor I use on my current PC to edit videos is giving no display, and I'm currently working on fixing that right now.  I'm just unsure on what the exact issue with it is at the moment.  I might be able to edit videos with this laptop I'm using, but that depends if I can Vegas on this without frying it overall.  Although with finals creeping up and other class projects creeping even closer, that might make things more difficult.  I apologize for the delays in advance.  I imagine those who have waited for this tournament have waited more than enough, but I really would like to get this up soon.

Okay, I can't believe Seismic Activity actually got under Emergency.
Irony seems to be doing decently.

...and this is why it's called Irony- because it tears opponents apart! :))))))
Please use a spoiler tag when stating down your bot's tournament performance so far.

There should be an Icon above the emoticons that make spoiler tags (alternatively you could just write one yourself). Just write spoilers in between the 2 boxes.

I do apologize for taking for taking so long.  University work has crept up hard on me this week.  I should be able to get back on track this week and get this going.

Wow. I never knew Seismic activity would lose like THAT...

That HS with the bear claws looks like my bot I-BEAM.
Please use a spoiler tag when talking about your bot's tournament performance or anyone's tournament performance so far, even when they lose. It's not that hard, we already told you about this.

Round 7 Match-ups are also up.

At this point, the scheduled weekly uploads for this tournament are a bit unnecessary for me since I now have a lot more free time.  I'm kinda just tired of letting this tournament just wait around for a weekly upload even if there's not a lot of excitement to begin with, so I'm just work my hardest on each video now until this tournament is all set.  It's almost not becoming fun anymore to host some of these tournaments, and I would like to just move on now.

https://youtu.be/CgA_vxy84gc

I also apologize if it is hard to keep track of.  At this point, this tournament has drained me and I wanted to close the show so I can advance.  Hopefully I did make this as enjoyable as I could in the end.  Probably not gonna host a second tournament at the same time as another anymore.  It was an experiment anyway, and it was too much for me to really handle honestly.
