Title: best moments in tourney history?
Post by: ianh05 on March 29, 2009, 04:23:29 PM
I'm rather bored today. there has been lots of tournaments now and i was wondering what everyone's favorite tournament moment is.

mine was in the tag team tournament when wheely big cheese 2000(?) actually got in a huge flip on ROBOSH4RK's bot amoeba returns, even though he was my partner i lol'd and we almost got beat but still got to the finals.

Beating Starcore and ACAMS when they were on a team was pretty cool for me. I couldn't believe it.

Yes it was wheely big cheese 2000, without capital letters.

Mine was... Psyco Sweeper versus Rage III, third match, 2:52.

Winning more than 1 round in RAW... I suck in tournaments.

But my worst moment was losing to Sorrow. Thankfully i got vengeance online against him.

for those who want to see the flip from wheely big cheese 2000 you can find it here at 1:34 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O393hTECjTA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O393hTECjTA)

amoeba returns had about 3 seconds of hang time xD

I got nothing for myself. The few matches with DDMW were sleepers.

In other people's matches.. don't know. Never really watched them.

For me was the whole success of Shreddar in BBEANS3 and that I was the second of the 3 who got a kill out of ChildsPlay

I forget exactly what bot it was fighting, but when InfCon used the other bot as a stunt ramp and launched itself out of the arena really struck me as funny.

Also Hum-Drums vs TORQUE.

It was InfCon vs. Skurge.

Man, there's a lot of them.

One was in BBEANS1, when I Will Get Shredded made it to the semifinals and even when it lost, it wasn't without a fight.  I still think IWGS vs. Wedge Tracker is one of the best matches in BBEANS history.  Everyone thought IWGS would live up to its name, but it turned out to be a half-decent bot.

Also Hazardous Contraption vs. Red Red Green?, because even though HazCon ends up winning 3-0, for a large part of the match it looks like it's going to be RRG.  You really can't tell who's going to win that one until it's over.

i found possibly the biggest glitch in BBEANS history. in BBEANS 3, round 1: antichrist V.1 vs Ding Dong armadillo around 1:30 :)

poor click had to record all of that :( and i know for a fact his HW entry for BBEANS 5 is just as bad... maybe worse.

I bumped.

Here are mine:

Red, Red, Green? tossing Iron Spaghetti OOTA
CFTW pinning down COID
ITI KOing PITA 8
Flaming Whizzer dominating the BBEANS 1 rumble

argh to many to think of :P

SnSnSnSnS tossing Cube Tank "into the camera" was cool (unanimously won best moment of CC1)

Grindhouse putting Super SnS oota really early in the match was epic too

I still couldn't figure out how that happened. O_O

Hmmm... I would say the most epic ones (in my opinion, of course) would be TH vs. Cocytus IV and RRG? vs. HazCon. :D

PitA vs AC was really epic too couldn't see the results of one of those matches coming I think it surprised everyone

I did see that, so I changed the original so it said "Clash Cubes 2", as well. Don't worry, I didn't take it offensively! :smile:
Oh, and LRA2? I wonder what his reaction was when his COID lost to a Cube with a funny little Circular Saw on the front?

Appending this to add:

The BBEANS5 final, when R4 is getting owned by Seism 13, but then R4 self-rights, cuts off both of S13's wedges in the process, lands directly in front of S13 and gets under it and wins.  Quite possibly the most impressive comeback ever.

Clash Cubes 2 Grindhouse vs. Shinigami, when Grindhouse won with no wheels left.  Possibly the most comebacks in any one match.

Trojan Horse vs. Cocytus IV, when Trojan Horse was on fire and missing a wheel, just spinning in circles, and it still got under Cocytus IV and won.

And Insult to Injury V vs. Mace in da face, PitA 8, and Trojan Horse.  Because of the whole upset factor (yeah it lost to TH, but it was close).

BUMP

I must say, there have been some very funny moments IMO.

All the ones that got voted for in the WTT awards for example.

I must agree with Click about R4 vs Seism 13.

I lol'ed at myself going OotA in RWW Series 1, and Killer Carrot getting stuck under the saw.

Nary going OotA in Replica Wars.

Mr Claws.

And S-32 beating me in NW3.

I still think that its kinda funny how BoEN made it as far it did (taking out Condor33, Trumpetguy, and Click) in R.I.P.

Also, I'm suprised no one mentioned Mr. Claws lol
