DSL TC Showcases / Clash Cubes 2 Showcase
« on: June 29, 2009, 11:29:07 AM »
Predictions so far:
Xenophobik Ressurektion: Clone, spinup time fail, low defense. Going to pull of an Archimandrite and get destroyed.
Dark Matter: Near-clone. Decent bot overall.
Blade Wave: I'm definitely aiming for the best wedge of the tournament. It's pretty good, i just don't want to fight a multibot or something with Ti half-sheets on the baseplate.
3 cubed: Obvious fail
Hellish Charm: Hmm it's nice, but it's not going to spin very fast for a SnS. Gut rippers will pose a problem even with the armor added.
Hypercube 2: Big Bad Brother clone - better though. Not going to spin very fast as well.
Faaip de Oiad: Eer. 6 razors for a SHW popup is really weak... Heavy armor isn't going to handle you the victory, R0B0.
Head Chef: VERY dangerous with bottom armor now. Slow spinning however...
Shinigami: Not badly built. Too fragile and not wedgy enough to be a good contender though.
Destiny: Unneccesarily large wheels and chassis. Exposed wheels also - this looks like a not-as-good SHW Cataclysm.
Mad Box's True Form: Yes, he is from the West. And a spinner as well...
Lament Configuration: Very cool and the best bot name of the tournament as well. Wedges are going to fail however - i feel it.
Please Die: Gay skin. Not going to fair well with a high ground clearance as well as overall low defense.
The Trap Master/Decoy: Nicely built multibot and the thing i'm afraid of. Has some potential - unless it gets raped by a SnS or Head Chef.
Sage's bot: Nicely built - but not powerful enough to beat all the sit and spinners, and will probably get destroyed by any good gut ripper.
Linck's bot: That's the slowest DSL bot i have ever seen (really)... slow spinup time as well and is toast if a gut ripper gets under him - can't self right also, so it might be a SFTW.
Grindhouse: Well built - however it's a little slow for a gut ripper.
Viper's Wrath: Slow and poor wedge... but it's average enough to avoid the SFTW status.
Timber: While being the coolest bot of all the bracket, it's slow for a hammer and not wedgy enough. Will probably rape all the shell bots though.
SURPRISE!: Decently built... not combat-efficient at SHW level though.
