Post by: RedAce on August 20, 2016, 07:42:03 AM: Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I have Badger's bot, and it's ready to go. Just waiting on Mystic.

Post by: RedAce on August 21, 2016, 03:12:36 PM: Now I have Mystic's bot. Will get to preparing a match and all that soon if nothing goes wrong.

Edit: The match is done.

Yes, I know there isn't a result splash at the end like I usually put in, but those are kinda a pain to put in and make, plus it gives you a better reason to actually watch the video. :P

Mystic wins 3-0 with 2 KO's and 1 TKO.

Honestly, I was a tad skeptical of that havok in round two and tempted to restart, but seeing as it just simply moved Hidden Message and the fact that Mystic won two matches anyway, I don't think it was all that harmful.

Looks like doing wedges the usual way in this mod will be very punishing as they will easily get ripped off, as well as requiring armor to be on separate anchors or really have strong extenders?

Guess a Retooled beta got released or you guys are testers for it, haven't really kept up a lot with it.

best way to describe this match:

Feel like I got a bit screwed by AI/Turn rates. Karma I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Honestly, I forgot about that until you brought that up.

To be blunt, I also didn't really notice the steering issues you're bringing up until now. Weird, because the turn and turnspeed is exactly the same as Mystic's bot.
