What a surprise.

I think we can just call Seism 13 the best Stock HW out right now and next time one of these happens it won't be included...

disagree. One of the best, but not the best.

NO, it was just the arena that made it look like the best. Obviously it would be owned in the combat arena.

BBEANS Arena allows for stuff like this

If this was combat arena, Bumble Bee would have won this IMO.

Somebody · « **Reply #93 on:** July 06, 2010, 12:35:19 PM »

But we can say that the BBEANS arena is more balanced, because it has hazards that do stuff and is good for flippers. And Seism can lose just like any other bot, but it keeps winning these things and we always pretty much had an overall thought of AC was the best. Seism kills AC, and pretty much everything else too...

I will only change my mind if someone finds a bot that can consistently beat it.

Sage · « **Reply #94 on:** July 06, 2010, 01:00:09 PM »

I got bored after 9 consecutive wins. I can go to 50 if you want.

Also, BBEANS arena basically ruins all rammers, so there is no way its balanced that way.

Pwn's Hot Wheels, Ounce's Nuclear Fallout, and one of my popups I showcased are capable of this. I bet there are others that can do it too.

Somebody · « **Reply #96 on:** July 06, 2010, 01:19:22 PM »

I need to keep my mouth shut more often when there are people around who lurk more and can remember all of these bots X(

Naryar · « **Reply #97 on:** July 06, 2010, 01:21:28 PM »

I SEE GHEY PEOPLE !

But yes, Seism 13 is now out-wedged.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #98 on:** July 06, 2010, 01:25:46 PM »

Yeah, if Hot Wheels had been made and released 4 months ago things might have gone differently.

Huh, I just realized that Shadow Tyrant AND TyranT were in this

. I remade TyranT into Shadow Tyrant so that it was better suited against crawlers (namely Bumble Bee) so its kinda coincidental that TyranT ended up losing to it. By replacing the castors with more ramplates, I lost some of TyranT's wedginess and made it more susceptible to HSers (which is one of the reasons why I'm really surprised ST won against AC).

Seism is the not the best but it has repeatedly proven itself as being a superior design. Obviously, there is a rock-paper-scissors effect which prevents it from winning against everything but it is one of the most effective bots around. It has also been the standard/inspiration for several of the bots that can beat it.

The BBEANS Arena may not be good for rammers but it is far more balanced (for other designs) than the Combat Arena. The benefit of having the center obstruction is that bots aren't getting thrown out of the arena within the first couple seconds by going too fast up their opponent's wedge.
