I'm bored, so I'll post my thoughts and predictions:
Tyrogue: Average 36-mace HS, but it has front armor which will definitely help against some of its opponents.
Unknown Identity 16: Well-armored, and seems to have enough weaponry, so how well it does will come down to how good its wedges are.
Iron Filings: Apart from the funky wedge extender work, it looks pretty well built. 'Tis a shame it lost already.
The Emergency Twins: If they're just ordinary wedges or flippers then they won't do well at all. If they're popups then they actually have a chance at some of the competition.
MissingNo.: The same strengths and weaknesses as Revenge of Dr. Wham: Excels in offensive power but has low armor and speed. If it actually has 4WD then it's a lot better.
Nuclear Fallout: I'm sure you all know about this already. However, something weird happened a few weeks ago where it couldn't even get under Seism 13, even though I hadn't modified the bot at all in the past 6 months O_o. Since then this has cleared up... at least I hope.
Halestorm 5: Nice armor configuration, and from what I've seen it has good wedges as well. I look forward to facing this and seeing if it can become the new wedge god.
RY3NO: It failed in RAW 2, but now with 2 of them and less opponents it needs to focus on, it should fare better than it did before.
Chernobyl Mk. 4: Another 36 HS, and I can't think of much else to say.
Hot Wheels: Will definitely do well, but who knows? It might meet some tough competition along the way.
Burned Alive: I like the design, but will get torn apart by any decent HS (which is pretty much all those in this tournament).
Shaver BX2: One of the more creative designs, but I've seen how it did in BTTB and I don't think it will do better here.
Nosferatu: I'll give credit to VB because VSs aren't entered in stock tourneys enough, but there's a reason why, and sadly that reason is evermore present in this tournament.
Generic Popup: It isn't as generic because a lot of popups nowadays have more front armor and little or no side armor. Though if what Shishka said is true then it won't really matter.
Noodle's bot: One of the more heavily armored jugglers I've seen, but I'm not sure of the wedges.
Round 1 Match Predictions:
Nuclear Fallout over Chernobyl Mk. 4 - If Nuclear Fallout can easily beat the 36 HSs of BBEANS and Inf AI, then it shouldn't have trouble with this one.
Halestorm 5 over Noodle's juggler - The wedges on the juggler (can't remember the name but I'm sure it was given somewhere) don't look good from this point of view, and NFX has spent more time perfecting his wedges, so...
Hot Wheels over Generic Popup - From what SKBT said and because Pwn somehow always does well in tournaments.
Nosferatu over The Emergency Twins - Being a multibot is the only advantage the E-Twins have over Nosferatu; they don't like they will do enough damage, if at all, to it.
Tyrogue over RY3NO: Really unlucky matchup for JB, pitted against a 36 HS out of 14 other opponents that it had a much better chance of beating.
Burned Alive over Unknown Identity 16 - Burned Alive's wedges just look better to me.
MissingNo. over Shaver BX
2 - I just don't trust the wedge on G.K.'s bot, but then again MissingNo.'s wedges look short enough that it might have a chance.
