Im confused. How does this work exactly?

And why are there LW, MW, HW and SHW in there, not just 1 class? :P

Well, it's just a fun little thing I came up with. Just pick your predictions and I will record the fights and put them here for you to watch.

Ok..I getcha. Sort of. XD

I vote Blade Wave to win :P

Lool, you've got Craaigs eight wheeled rammer in there XD

Post by: freeziez on August 09, 2010, 10:00:23 AM

I pick Evil. He won the last AI for-fun tourney i did, beating Diarehha of A Madman, losing to Crash Test 2, beating Hazardous Contraption, Mako, Crash Test 2, Patriot 2, Guard Duty, and Mikado 2 in the Finals.

I know this tournament is just for fun, but still bots from one weight class should only fight other bots of the same weight class.  Its just common sense.

I think Death Star will win this because of its sheer power compared to the rest of the competitors.

Crosswind is my only bot in this?  That's disappointing, also because it looks like it will lose its first match, but I still think it can get a couple of wins.

---

Preliminary predictions:

Hellish Charm > Undeadbeat - Undeadbeat won't be able to keep Hellish Charm in its grasp long enough to de-shell it.

Weapon Array > Francium - Francium is fast, but Weapon Array is powerful enough to keep Francium away.

Caesium > Code Yellow - It all comes down to weaponry, and Code Yellow just doesn't have enough.

Marvin > Critical Emergency - Neither of them are really great, but CE just doesn't have the strength to throw Marvin out of the arena.

Fast 'N Furious > Ramjet - Popup vs. rammer, 'nuff said.

Cataclysm 2 >Pyrotechnic Display 3.1 - Pyrotechnic Display just isn't stable enough to get to the vulnerable center of Cataclysm.

Lol the new Quasar is so much better than Death Star.  Though I think Death Star should have a chance being SHW.

Quadruple post

Does anyone even care about this anymore? I put a lot of effort into this.

Title: Re: The NAR AI Challenge
Post by: Somebody on August 10, 2010, 06:46:38 PM

Haven't gotten much of a chance to watch the videos. My advice is to try to edit out all of the menu stuff, and just have the battles.

Title: Re: The NAR AI Challenge
Post by: freeziez on August 10, 2010, 06:47:33 PM

How do I do that?

Title: Re: The NAR AI Challenge
Post by: Somebody on August 10, 2010, 06:54:14 PM

In Windows Movie Maker, you can Split clips whenever you want. Split them right before the countdown starts for a battle, and delete what is before it.

(edit:) I don't have WMM! Where can I get it?

Title: Re: The NAR AI Challenge
Post by: JoeBlo on August 10, 2010, 08:49:48 PM

it comes with your OS if you have windows, it should be on your computer somewhere, check your program files if you have no shortcuts to it

Title: Re: The NAR AI Challenge
Post by: SKBT on August 10, 2010, 08:51:50 PM

If you have Windows 7 you need to download "Windows Live Essentials" from Microsoft.

Anyway, I found it! Thanks, Joe!

OK, I used WMM to make this:

No.

And HTF is this going to be useful ? You should fight by different weightclasses. Roly Poly VS HnM 4 isn't even fun to watch.

Title: Re: The NAR AI Challenge
Post by: freeziez on August 12, 2010, 10:08:29 AM

Well, there's only a handful of SHWs and MWs, and 1 LW. It's not that lopsided.

And why the fudgeballs would I put Roly Poly vs. HnM 4 in there? If a match doesn't turn out exciting, I just switch seeds with a more interesting bot (e.g. I switched Genocide and Evil.)

OK, I need help. I tried to upload the .WMMVM (or something like that) files through YouTube, but it keeps saying it is invalid. What do I do?

Title: Re: The NAR AI Challenge

Click Tasks

and under Finish Movie click "Save to my computer"

this will save it as a .WMA which is youtube usable

Lol I think that's the first version of death star, which means it got an wide open bottom.......  Wish he had chosen Quasar 1.7 instead.

Title: Re: The NAR AI Challenge
Post by: freeziez on August 12, 2010, 12:25:15 PM

I chose Death Star over Quasar for that exact reason.

Title: Re: The NAR AI Challenge

B-B-B-BUMP!

Matches 8 & 9 up.

Genocide vs. Caesium  :gawe:

Title: Re: The NAR AI Challenge
Post by: Naryar on January 08, 2011, 12:38:39 PM

Genocide wins... I made numerous fights against Caesium and it always won because it had moar razors and there were static.
