Should R4 have won BBEANS5?

Should R4 have won BBEANS5? After looking back on it, I think he should have.

Seism 13 won it fair and square. If you're confused about the first match, that's because R4 came from the losers' bracket. If S13 won that match, there would be no need for a second match. Get it? :D

Sorry.

But what about Flaming Whizzer, Smashbox 2, Child's Play IV, or HazCon?

My mind just processed what Joe said... what I meant is that ritual, because I can't find a better word, was never done in previous BBEANS.

Flaming Whizzer, Smashbox and Childs Play never lost so only had to win once like Seism 13

HazCon beat the winners bracket finalist twice in the final.. exactly how R4 had to to win

OF COURSE R4 should have won! It was clearly a better design that fought and defeated all of its other competition handily only to come up short because of bad luck and cheap tricks! And is there a more deserving builder than its designer? I don't think so - the guy who built R4 is the smartest and most awesome person on the forums bar none!

All sarcasm aside, you can luck your way through small tourneys but not big ones like BBEANS. Any flaws your bot has will eventually get exposed and generally you will get as far as you deserve to. I think Firebeetle completely deserved his victory and in fact should have gotten it sooner since R4's comeback in the very first battle was incredibly fortunate. FB should have won that match and wrapped up BBEANS right there. At the end of the day, Seism 13 had better wedges, meaning it was a better bot head-to-head. There have been certain fights that I feel my bots should have won in other tourneys, but the BBEANS 5 final is not one of them. But I appreciate the recognition :D

I voted "yes" to the poll BTW, even though my real vote is for no. Hey, I can't not vote for myself xD
