RA2 CHALLENGE THREAD - DISCUSSIONS

[Philippa]

So it'll be in an arena only Wen has. Yep. Working out as well as this could have.
So here's what I propose:

DSL-S
Arena TBD
3 min. time limit.
Best of 3.
Ro7 yes, CF no.
1 Havok restart (because apparently you have to specify now)

Anything I've missed, Kurt?

Nothing wrong with this as far as I can see. I'm cool with Wen hosting also.

This should be very entertaining

Queue for title challengers:

TGM (If gulden hosts he has both my bot and his AI'd already)

Badger (He challenged me ages ago but I never bothered because **** dsl-s. Now he builds IRL I can finally do this. Is the fact I never did the challenge Bs? Yes.)

Kurt (I think he was the first, but TGM is way easier to run and I owe badger. Sorry, Kurt.)

Orc (Snagged me on discord pretty early on)

Enigma (On discord. Said any rules, may as well defend the title too.)

Jamie (Been dancings round a challenge for a while, haven't had the time, probably need to do this one.

Dreamcast (I think I saw his name challenging me at some point.)

Mystic (I've also been challenged by him.)

NeonCalypso (IDK for sure but anyways I need to challenge this guy to get revenge for RG.)

Updated Queue:

As Kurt, Jamie and Badger are all in challenges RN, I can't challenge them yet. The next in line after removing those is Orc.

Orc, let's get this challenge done: preferably it'd be done before Badger vs Boto but likelihood is it won't be.

DSL IRL HW
RW2016 Arena
All mods in the DSL IRL Compilation pack allowed, so that's Badnik's Recolours, the DSC IRL packs, RA2CF and the AS balance patch. (The balance patch can be omitted if you'd prefer.)
1 havok and the round is restarted 2 Havoks and the havok-causing robot loses the round.
Best of 5.
3 minute time limit.
If time runs out on a round, 3 judges (I was thinking Demon, Gulden and Badger based on their host records and general reliability but it depends on if they are willing to) decide who wins the round based on a 45 point system with 15 for Damage, 15 for Aggression and 15 for Control, where the judge can split the points given. It's either this complicated system or Flippers are practically useless because you can't reliably get OOTA flips in this arena or KOs.

Unless specified otherwise, this will be the standard ruleset for any of my future DSL title challenges. I'd honestly rather not use this arena but it's the only one that doesn't allow easy OOTA's without making it totally impossible to get them even if the flipper is dominating the fight.

Yeah, I'm still salty over AGEMk.IV in RG against Prince Duck. And before you say "but what about your defence against TGM": that was always a flipper fight so we needed a OOTA capable arena.

I accept. Who are we sending bots to when done?

I can host. I want to learn Final Cut Pro in preparation for IW so this challenge will be useful for that.

I want to challange LRA2 Again

Prove to me you can build a fight-capable (as in, the motor isn't exposed totally, the weapon can hit, it actually makes sense etc) robot and I'll give you a title match before any of the other guys on the queue.

[Hoppin]

TGM . Dave 2 vs Holy Wings 2.0 best of 3. You choose arena. Winner is king of the burst spam.

[kix]

Umm, sure?
Okay. Arena. RW 2016 (true way to test real power of spambursters!)
Might have to use Holy Wings 2.5 tho.
Host?

OK, you can just challenge someone else for now, i am a little low in time, I am making a game in J# , and support for the J# Redistributable package ends October 10Th, so i will challenge you after that. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/bb188593

That's bullsh**, man. Stick to the queue. It's already dumb that you made an out of order queue but at least stick to that.

He's been messing several people around unfortunately. Other people seemed busy so he challenged me, I accepted and then I find out he's challenging Badger again (I don't care too much but it makes things confusing!).

I am under no obligation to stick to the queue. Also, it gets him off my back temporarily.

>several people

The plan was simple: TGM quickly because Gulden has both robots. Gulden understandably doesn't want any flamewars, so backs out. This delays the challenge further. Badger is number one priority but first I started the challenge so i need to finish it. Badger then promptly challenges Boto. Kurt is in a challenge already, so I figure "eh, I'll challenge you next instead." Except AS releases the challenge almost immediately after I say this. As the thread isn't up, I have no commitment to the match, and while under normal circumstances I would give you the match regardless Badger has been chasing me around for ages for a title match, and I need to get him over and done with. Rest assured that you and Kurt will get your title matches in due time.

[Dreamcast]

I are the DSL-S MW champion

Best of 3
BBEANS arena V2
R07 break allowed I guess
Other RA2CF features are not allowed
Regular havok restart/forfeit rules
As a personal challenge, I will not submit a robot two matches in a row

PREPARE TO GET RAUSED

PREPARE TO GET RAUSED

Alrighty then. Just a few more basic things:
The match will be a traditional WBP deal. I don't know why I wanted to specify this, but whatever.
I have no opinion on a balance patch. So I guess it's up the host ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Speaking of hosts, who wants to host a battle between a traffic safety violation and our perennial hardlad?

edit: "RAUSED?" This is DSL-S, son.

[Asbestosstar]

I'll host, despite support ending soon. But it will still be related to J#.

Well then. That complexes things. Oh well, I'll fight you anyways.

Sorry, but no. You aren't experienced enough, and what do you mean by "related to J#"?

Look. Just do the programming you want to do and let somebody else host, mate. No offense.

[Avalanche]

Putting my foot in the door and stating that i'll be Badger's first challenger for the title.
