After the long hiatus from putting Robots in Space 2 on a temporary hiatus, I decided that I should go back to Beetle Bashers seeing as it's one year anniversary is coming up. Why am I doing this? Well, I feel I want to host this quick little tournament over the summer and I notice there is barely any standalone Beetleweight tournaments for stock. Let's fix that, shall we? GENERAL RULES:- Stock Beetleweight - 12 or 13 Entrants (See battle rules) - One entrant per person max - I'm willing to AI if you are not able to, but don't complain what I AI'd your bot (It will not change once the SBV thread is up.) - You cannot enter unless your bot is received and accepted. - Entries MUST be sent in a PM. (Tutorial here.)- I will only enter if there is at least one empty spot when signups close. - The winners of Beetle Bashers 2 are allowed to send one extra bot each. Elementos and Kurt are allowed to send one extra bot for winning Beetle Bashers 2. - General stock rules apply - Beetleweight bots only (Minimum: 169.0 - Maximum: 175.0 kg) - You cannot use BFE, AAM, Hax, txt file editing, etc. - AI parts are allowed, including the 140 cm extender. - No cheatbot2 parts at all. - The only custom components that are allowed are from 090901's and/or Sage's Skin Pack and Madiaba's Smart Zones. - Smart Zones will not count toward weight, but you cannot use them to act as a ballast - Bots can have at least One wheel, but all bots must show controlled movement. - Crawlers are allowed if you can actually get them to work. - Interchangeable weapons and forms along with Multibots are banned. - I will only allow bots that are the best of your ability, so Jokebots, replicas, IRL style bots, etc. are not allowed. (Please make it more clear this time.) - You can a MINOR change as many times as you wish as long as it doesn't change very much of the bot overall, so make it clear that it's a minor change. (Like changing the Razors on your HS to Irons) - Once your bot is accepted, you can only send a MAJOR update it ONCE (Like completely changing your entry from HS to Popup), so be careful. (This rule will not apply to bots that have a problem or are rejected. If the updated bot is not allowed or having an issue, the first bot which has been accepted will stay until a fix is sent.) MATCH RULES:- 2 minute length battles - 1 vs. 1 Battle Format - Best of 3 Rounds - Battles will take place in the Clash Cubes 3 Qualifying Arena (Reskinned) - In the event that there is less than 12 entrants, A BW SFTW will take any empty spots once signups officially close. - If a bot does a Havok Explosion which costs the match for it's opponent, that said bot will get a free restart, if this happens again, that bot will be disqualified. - I will give an extra 48 Hours when I get 12 bots for one more person who wants to enter. (Including Myself) - If I happen to get a 13th entrant, then the last two bots that have entered will duke it out in a wildcard bout to see who gets the last spot in the official tournament. - The Qualifiers will consist of 4 Round Robin matchups with 3 bots in each. The winner of their respected round robin bracket will advance to Eliminators. - The Eliminators will be a Double Elimination bracket consisting of the winners of the qualifiers. My (Possible) Entry: Byebot: Signups are Closed1. G.K. - Purple Dot Box2. Mr. AS - INTRUDER3. Squirrel_Monkey - Void Beetle4. Reier - 20 second lifespan5. Thrackerzod - Gamma6.

So, I've been thinking of making of an RA2 Arena, but I have no idea how to make one. To start it off, here's the general area:  I know this is slightly off-center than how I would like it to be and it's not drawn to scale, but that's not the point. The light gray square is where bots where be placed. That area will be the about same size of the Combat Arena, but slightly smaller. The starting positions will be numbered where bots will start and the squares are slightly larger than the squares in the Containment Cube. The White area is the OOTA zone which be as large as the ones from the BBEANS Arena V2. The walls are as tall as the ones inside the BBEANS Arena, but will slightly wider. The Dark gray squares are solid walls and corners for in and out of the arena. So is this just the BBEANS Arena V2 with all hazards out of sight and bigger? One would think that, but that's when the corners come in. Let's get a closer shot now shall we?  These corners will be on the walls of the arena and will feature the hazards of the arena. The dark gray box in the top right will be another wall that you can't flip over. The light gray boxes will contain diamond spikes larger than the ones in the Compressor Arena and slightly smaller than the size of the ones's in the Containment Cube and be attached on the arena wall. This will make flipping out bots a little more difficult. You also may be noticing the random circle near the corner mentioned earlier. That was intentional. This will feature a massive hammer like the Pulverizers in the Battlebox and is compared to them, they will be bigger and meaner than before. The corner hammers will NOT mess around and it will hurt. So yeah, that's my idea for a possible arena. I don't really have a name for it yet, but one will come soon. If someone could actually create this arena to a reality, that would be awesome. However, I would also greatly appreciate it if someone who is experienced in making arenas could teach me how to make one for myself. It's like the old saying: "If you give a man to fish, he'll eat for a day. If you teach a man to fish, he'll eat for life." If anyone has on minor improvements on adding to it on what would make it cooler, that would be great.

 Yup, another Display Tourney, but this time, it's not really an original one, but an unofficial mock tourney this time. For those who are unaware, G.K. officially announced his first original tournament on April 13, 2010 known as Back to the Beginnings. A tourney that had forum members sign up to be in the tourney and then, all participants, will be randomly assigned what bot to build based on the forum members first ever bot based on what bot it actually is. Then those bots would be put in a Double Elimination Bracket to see who built the best rebuild. Since then, it became a pretty popular tournament with lots of interest and an interesting tournament concept. As time went on, a sequel started to come around changing up the game from Stock to DSL. The next two tournaments did repeat the cycle, but people had to build people's first DSL bot in Stock in BTTB 3 and first Stock bot in DSL in BTTB 4. BTTB 3 was my first ever tournament I've ever participated in, and I do miss those times. But anyway, It's fifth anniversary is coming up, I felt, why not celebrate with the bots BTTB 1 & 3? (I probably would've actually done the DSL ones as well, but those bots were never officially released into the public.) But, I'm going to have a different arena than the Twisted Arena because rumor has it that wedges are glitched in the arena. I apologize if I'm not going the whole nostalgic route. GENERAL RULES:
- Stock HW (399.1 - 800.0 kg)
- 50 Entrants
- The entrants will be from BTTB 1 & 3 AI. (Including the Promo Bots and the Least Performing Bot from BTTB 3)
- Multibots are allowed as long as their combined weight stays within 800.0 kg
BATTLE RULES:
- 2 minute length matches
- Keznorg IGC Arena (Reskinned and Hazards off)
- Best 2-3 Matches
- Double Elimination Bracket
- A rumble will be given to top four bots in the bracket that isn't the Champion or Runner-up
- Byes will be randomized in the brackets
- If a robot havoks once and it costs the match, that bot gets a free restart, if it happens again, that bot is disqualified. All matches will be rated on a spectrum of 1-5 stars. 5 being a match worthy to see and 1 being as exciting as two snails racing each other. All ratings are based on my personal thoughts and experience of the match. ** Not a very interesting way to kick off the tournament. That's a bad sign. There moments where there the first round contained NOTHING HAPPENING AT ALL. The last two matches gave it the other star, but it's still pretty unamusing But anyway, Radioactive Meltdown has the capability of tossing opponents out of the arena as long as Go Up Here doesn't slide under him. Go Up Here 2 Wins 3-0 with 2 KO's and 1 TKO. *** EoBSS is a good example of how NOT to build an HS. Large and exposed chassis, weapons plastered on the back rendering them useless, and loads of empty space. Granted it was one of G.K's first bots, and it certainly shows. PTEBTD can counter the maces with it's Side Hammer combination, but that's about all I can say without spoiling who won. Press This Easy Button To Die wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. *** SBTIAC is actually a unique rammer for what it's rebuilding conditions are. You don't typically see Bear Claws on a rammer. Usually, Bear Claws are used on HS's since they are strong and deal a good amount of damage. But there is a good reason why NO OTHER RAMMER uses bear claws on a rammer. Normals really can screw it over if you use them wrong. Especially, if you're fighting a Deadly VS. Like ElectroN. This might not end well for the Bear. ElectroN wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. **** That's what I'm talking about! A match with back-and-forth action, and lot's of stunts. it was actually hard for me to edit this one since there were moments that were pretty entertaining and I just couldn't leave them out. Killdozer is actually a pretty cool looking wammer. it takes advantages of what a normal rammer can't do and counter popups. But the weight sacrifices the amount of weapons used effectively. And TtTtM is a unique design for having the front wedges flip the other opponents since they can guide their opponent to the Vertical Spinners. However, this doesn't always happen and can annoy the opponent more than attack it. With the pros and cons of their designs, we can imagine the match going either way at this point. Tribute to Tribute to Mayhem wins 2-1 with 2 KO's. Killdozer II gets 1 KO. *** Uh... yeah. A replica of S_M's car is fighting a bot with good wedges, a deadly drum design, and it dangerous. What more can I say other than revealing the winner? Dumb Drum wins 3-0 with 3 KO's.
BlockBuster vs. Grade-4 Whiplash*** An average first showcased popup vs. a popup who took the championship of BTTB 3. You can tell the pressure is on for the BlockBuster. fighting a popup who is capable of one hit KO's. It's quick like almost all popup vs. popup battles Grade-4 Whiplash wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. *** We got an evolved version of Evolve or Be Spun Somewhere and it's fighting the host of BTTB who had to rebuild Sage's bot, so it's like G.K. is fighting himself.  the battle itself is close, but in a boring fashion. Parts fly, but robots don't really die here. It takes a bit, but the first round is probably the worst one though. Everything else is pretty good. Shaver BX^2 wins 2-1 with 1 KO and 1 TKO. EoBSS X gets 1 KO. *** Rusty Seringe is underweight, has exposed weapon extenders, and can be tossed easily by Darker Shades of Grey. He better pray that he can pull a victory. Darker Shades of Grey wins 3-0 with 2 KO's and 1 TKO. *** It just barely got that third star, there were moments I didn't really enjoy. Especially, in Round 3. It can drag. So two multibots that are crawlers against a FS on a hammer. If The Twins get tossed out quickly, O_o_O wins, if not, the Twins win. It's pretty close though. Talespin Twins wins 2-1 with 1 KO and 1 WBP. O_o_O gets 1 KO and 2 TKO's. * There are parts falling off, and that's the most exciting part about this fight. Because without the winner, CBD relies on it's hammers and they can break off with Atomic's ramming rack. Once that happens, the match rely's on CBD to use it's wamming maces to beat Atomic, and as a result, this makes for a match I would've perfered havok to decide the outcome. Crush's Big Daddy wins 3-0 with 1 KO, 1 TKO, and 1 WBP. *** Huge SnS was claimed to be the tournament's SFTW in BTTB 3, yet it can get up to speed and do rather well when it happens, but it may not. Embodyment of the Blockbuster wins 2-1 with 2 KO's. Huge SnS gets 1 TKO. *** Before I discuss about the match, let me just say that this match required an extremely long loading time to get to the match. You can bake yourself toast while the match loads, and even get yourself a drink. You can check your unread topics, your E-mail, post something on Facebook, Twitter, GTM, Order yourself a pizza with some bread sticks, call your relatives or anyone you want to speak to, do your laundry-- Oh C'mon! It's still loading! Anyway, Match is average at best, whoever gut-rips the other bot wins. Windmill wins 3-0 with 2 KO's and 1 WBP. *** Stiletto is balance between speed and power with 4WD and a decent amount of weapons on pistons. Yet since it's still pretty much a rammer, it's only a matter of time before SoD grinds it to dust if, keyword being if, SoD can actually get under it. With that said, the match is close. Spawn of Drumaphobia wins 2-1 with 2 KO's. Stiletto gets 1 KO. *** Macro Vulcan actually has good wedges. If it gets under you, you'll be sent flying. However, it all depends if Macro Vulcan actually gets under it's opponent to flip it out. It needs to get under CoFI to actually flip it out. Problem for Macro Vulcan is that CoFI's wedges are spread out in stead of directly in the center. This makes CoFI hard to flip. Circle of Flaming Irons wins 3-0 with 2 KO's and 1 KO. **** Lots of action in this one. This is a match that will have parts flying and bots dying. Drumbelina needs to keep it's weapons on in order to not be dismantled by BA. However, BA has to keep it's FBS trait to fend off the wedges of Drumbelina to KO it. Drumbelina II wins 2-1 with 1 KO and 1 TKO. Burrrrrrrrrried Aloive gets 1 KO. *** Canadian Warlord needs to get under Jester's Hat in order to make those hammers effective. Otherwise, it's over for Canadian Warlord. I really can't say much else since this match is short, so I'll stop typing and keep this description short and not spoil the winner. The Jester's Hat wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. *** I tried building a LW version of c3, yet because it couldn't stay sable for long after it hits something and I just had too many problems with it. What's that gotta do with this match? Well, I could be saying c3's weakness, yet I feel it works in the HW class and maybe MW? Point is CoC has to take advantage of that if the glass cannon wants to win this one. c3 can take advantage of CoC because of the reach it has. Not spoiling anything, yet this may go either way. c3: ++ wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. *** Nuclear Fallout has a slight disadvantage in this match. MEH is a popup multibot can can attack the sides of NF as NF attacks on, and then treats it as bait. Big Flip's Revenge did well becasue of that in BBEANS5, but since MEH isn't as good as a popup like BFR, it's gonna have a hard time with this match. Nuclear Fallout wins 2-1 with 4 KO's. MEH gets 1 KO. *** So EoBSS needs to attack the wheels or it's all over since Stupid Bear is pretty much a wall against EoBSS's weapons. Stupid Bear That Isn't A Cube wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. *** Huge SnS may have a huge handicap loss since Sushi Instructor will have an easier time cutting this than actual sushi. However, Huge SnS lost 2-1 against Embodyment of the Blockbuster, even if it was lucky hit. Highly unlikely that Huge SnS will actually win, but let's see what happens. Sushi Instructor wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. **** Quick. Simple. Entertaining. Those words are the best I can say about how this fight went. ZLTO had some bad luck in it's tournament run, but with a new arena and an opponent which took second place in BTTB 1, this may not be easy for ZLTO. ZLTO wins 2-1 with 2 TKO's. Go Up Here 2 gets 1 KO. *** JD is actually a creative builder, yet I don't see many competitive bots from him. I miss him, he's a pretty cool guy. Anyway, Sage can easily bypass the armor on PTEBTD since it has no wedges. ElectroN wins 3-0 with 2 TKO's and 1 KO. *** This match just overstays it's welcome if you're watching the raw match. Long strings of nothing happening, lag up the wazoo, and it's just not pretty to watch. However, after editing it, this match grown on me a bit. I got all the moments worth seeing. Anyway, TtTtM can easily beat HF since they are multibots which are both bad rammers, but with the advantage of multibots, It might go according to TtTtM's plan... Tribute to Tribute to Mayhem wins 2-1 with 2 WBP's and 3 KO's. Hammer Fisted gets 1 TKO. *** If Dumb Drum gets under Havok Explosion, it's over for Havok Explosion. If Havok Explosion gets under Dumb Drum, it might not be over for Dumb Drum. Both bots have potential of winning based on who gets under who. Dumb Drum has longer wedges, yet Havok Explosion can avoid that wedge with a center wedge to get under it. It's a close one. Dumb Drum wins with 2 KO's. Havok Explosion gets 1 TKO. *** There are three ways to beat a popup with an HS. Troll Dance on it, Keep your underside away from the weapons, or tear the armor on it and get at it's wedged front. The last two won't work so well for SC, so he'll have to pray for a victory for this match. G4W was the champion of BTTB 3 for a reason, besides Ounce getting another popup to build for the tournament. Grade-4 Whiplash wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. *** A close and slightly bizarre fight. Los Lobos might have trouble with this since the weapons are on a long extender rack which can be the downfall since they expose those often. However, even if Los Lobos does lose it's weapons, it might not be over for it since it also takes it's waming rack into account. Will that actually defend itself from the dual weaponry on Shaver BX^2? It's just another reason to watch this match.  Los Lobos wins 2-1 with 1 TKO and 1 KO. Shaver BX^2 gets 1 KO. **** It can be entertaning when you combine a chained Tribar HS and a VS that's not chained in the ring together. It's not the best, but I thought it was a good fight. SD is gonna have to hope the hammers don't break off early, or it's toast since it'll be unstable. That won't be easy since DSoG can get around the wide stance that SD has for it's wedges, but if SD gets you from it's hammers, you will fly. It's also nice to see bots like SD since they remind me of Orbital Delivery Vehicle. You don't see them often. There's a good reaon for that though. Stealth DESTROYA wins 2-1 with 2 KO's Darker Shades of Gray gets 1 KO. *** It's a glorious matchup we have here. Naryar hates crawlers and now he's facing off against two of them this time. Crawlers can be defeated if you can flip them out of the arena since their weapons are the one weakness. However, O_o_O got a KO with the crawlers in the arena from trapping it and persistent fighting. RBP can't exactly do that consistently since it relies on speed and power for that to happen. It's a close match. Talespin Twins wins with 2 KO's. Rapiiid Bit Pull gets 3 TKO's. *** Altiwude is built for fast kills and CBD can't really brag it's wedges are extremely good. It's a short battle, so I'll keep this short too. Altiwude wins 3-0 with 3 KO's *** I didn't expect this match to be so close. I mean, a popup with irons doesn't usually fare well compared to razor popups since their weight can impact it in the end. Then again, if EotB does get under Windmill, it will take advantage of that and it will hurt. The closest match is Round 1, yet havok can really lower the tension of a fight. Windmill wins 2-1 with 2 KO's. Embodyment of the Blockbuster gets 1 KO. **** Not only is there destruction, but there is intensity of who would win. How can a wedge war be so close? Answer: You don't make them OHKO popups and you increase the gore. Anyway, TBK is interesting since it's a wedged undercutting HS and has the capability of destroying SoD, but the matter is staying under which can create the deciding factor of this fight. Spawn of Drumaphobia wins 2-1 with 2 KO's. The Black Knight gets 1 KO. ** This fight wasn't so thrilling, but match 1 is worth seeing with a KO slam on the wall, and that's all this fight has going for it. Even after extensive editing which I edit out all the moments where nothing happens, it's just becomes pushfest in rounds 2 and 3 BLT can't really take advantage of CoFI since the wedges are directly in the center and CoFI can get around the wedges and have BLT for lunch. But if BLT can get under, it might have a shot. Circle of Flaming Irons wins 3-0 with 2 KO's and 1 TKO. *** Uhh... Yeah. NFX (the bot) can't really attack Drumbelina since it has no way of getting under or actually ripping of the weapons of it's drums. Well, I gotta give some hope to NFX though. Drumbelina II wins 3-0 with 2 KO's. and 1 TKO. **** This match was fast and furious. I thought Arcade HW would be at a disadvantage since it lacks the under armor for popups, is underweight, and the fact the weapons are arranged in a way so they don't work as effectively as bots like NLSGT or AC. However, the weapons on Arcade HW are FAST. Let's find out how this goes. The Jseter's Hat wins 2-1 with 2 KO's. Arcade HW: Rise of GF93 gets 1 KO. *** As long as the caster armor on c3 serves it's purpose, it should be fine right? Probably not since c3 can be unstable with the bar design of the HS. KAiZA is the perfect bot to take advantage of that since it can juggle bots and is fast to take advantage of that. Yet c3 can take of the exposed motors that power the VS of it. This can go either way, or be very one-sided. KAiZA wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. *** Um, BISHOP might be able to beat NF if it tears off the wedges? It's capable of doing that since it can slide in the middle. Right? Nuclear Fallout wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. * This match is a very, very boring. Since RD's can't reach BISHOP since BISHOP has that nose wedge in front of it, that mean both bots are locked in a dull wedge stalemate until one bot actively wins by points. But, the good news about this match is that Round 3 is best of the 3 matches since it's really short. But c'mon already, You know who's already. Must I even keep it a secret? BISHOP wins 2-1 with 1 KO and 1 WBP. Radioactive Meltdown gets 1 WBP. Really?! That actually happened? No way!  *** As I said earlier, Stupid Bear's Weapons are bear claws. You know what that means right? If you guessed normals, then you've summed up the one weakness of Stupid Bear. While some of Stupid Bear's weapons are facing where the claws can hit it, the rests are facing in a way so they aren't effective. c3 might be able to take advantage of that since it has long reach to hit the wheels and is packing maces for weapons, which are durable weapons by the way, c3 can cause a lot of damage with how how it can hit Stupid Bear. The bad news for c3 is that if it misses, it's leaving it's exposed wheels and is an easy target for Stupid Bear. This might be close. Stupid Bear That Isnt A Cube wins with 1 KO and 1 WBP. c3: ++ gets 1 WBP. *** Arcade HW is underweight and doesn't offer many weapons to attack Killdozer with. However, that isn't always bad for Arcade HW mind you. When Arcade HW gets up to speed, it's fast. Really fast. It's fast to where it's dangerous to get hit by Arcade HW. A bot that can attack that with the weapons forming a wall is a rammer, and Killdozer has the speed and trapping ability to make Arcade HW hit the weapons and lose it's weapons before Killdozer does. However, Arcade HW can attack Killdozer to where it can flip it upside down to where it loses that trapping ability. If that doesn't happen, it's Game Over for Arcade HW. Arcade HW wins 2-1 with 1 KO and 1 WBP. Killdozer II gets 1 KO. ** We got two bots that were claimed SFTWs and we will see who is the best of the worst. Okay NFX is slightly better than Hammer fisted and maybe Huge SnS, but that's not the point. Before anyone makes an angry comment about the AI, all that was done by GK, I'm just going with how it was done. Besides that, there really isn't much else to talk about. Don't expect an edge of your seat match here folks. It's full of predictable outcomes and boring ways to make the match drag. Round 3 is the worst defender with the boring factor since nothing happens at all in that round! NFX wins with 1 KO and 1 WBP. Vroooom gets 1 TKO. Somehow. * Holy carp. I thought there wouldn't be a match just as or even more boring that BISHOP vs. Radioactive Meltdown, but this match proved me wrong BIG time. Both bots get stuck together and go in circles for the entire duration of the match. Good lord, I'd rather watch the maze screen saver on a Windows XP computer than watch this match. At least Round 2 doesn't have this, but that doesn't even make up for Rounds 1 & 3. I guess I should do some rest rule if I ever get this in an actual tournament if that actually happens. Bacon/Lettuce/Tomato wins 3-0 with 2 WBP's. *** Black Knight has wedges and is capable of undercutting robots that are Horizontal Spinners, like EoBSS X. Black Knight can also take advantage of the plastic armor on EoBSS X and KO it easily. EoBSS X wasn't built to handle bots with wedges with it's setup. I think I've said more than I should, so I mght as well stop typing and say the winner in a spoiler now. The Black Knight wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. *** If a VS wasn't enough for Rusty Seringe, it's now gotta face off against a popup, with irons nonetheless. Poor Rusty Seringe. Fighting two bots that can get to it's underbelly and KO it. Embodyment of the Blockbuster wins with 3 KO's. *** O_o_O might as well be facing off against a VS. It's facing off against an opponent that can take off the FS discs on a hammer. and there is no vulnerable top for O_o_O to take advantage of since the hammers retract so it can't attack the head of CBD even if the hammers aren't fired. Crush's Big Daddy wins 2-1 with 2 KO's. O_o_O gets 1 TKO. *** Well, that's two bots that Atomic had to face that were built by Naryar. It's almost like it's meant to be. However, this is probably the worse of the two match ups since RBP has longer wedges for Atomic to slide under and is faster than CBD. Atomic better pray for this one. He's up against it now. Tough luck for the poker. Rapiiid Bit Pull wins 3-0 with 2 TKO's and 1 KO. *** DSoG is gonna have a tough time tossing SI since the wedges aren't as far apart as SI and are longer so SI can get under easily and cut DSoG. However, DSoG can troll dance and bumble around to tear off the parts of SI so it can get to the armor of it. Round 3 is boring since the two get stuck and dance so neither bot can attack reliably. This lasts for a good minute and a half before something cool happens. Yes. Something cool happened while bots were dancing! Sushi Instructor wins 3-0 with 2 TKO's and 1 KO. *** If Shaver can get under and toss Stiletto around, it will win this match. Otherwise, it's going to hurt and be very painful for Shaver since Stiletto is not only a wall, but it can pack a punch if fast enough. It's like a balance between speed and power with no real strengths or weaknesses about it's structure. But there is one thing that Shaver can take into account though, it has a wedge for Stiletto to get on and let it tear it up. So the wedge might make the speed pointless, but if you want to know what happens, watch the match. No seriously. Don't click that spoiler just yet. Why would you put your mouse pointer near that when you haven't seen the match? C'mon! Stop that! Stiletto wins 3-0 with 2 KO's and 1 TKO. *** I was very curious about that 256 tourney Badnik did and it had Macro Vulcan going so far, that it was hilarious. I was really hoping a similar fate would happen to it in the Losers Bracket. Hell, Macro Vulcan is capable of it. It just needs to be in the perfect position to flip out SC. The match however, was disappointing. I was hoping it would be much closer than this, but alas, it is really one-sided. Spontaneous Combution wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. **** You know, I'm starting to feel a soft side for flippers now, in an arena with open walls anyway. Why? Well, it can be so satisfying to toss your opponent who's giving you hell in the arena out like you've made a slam dunk in Basketball. It also can lead to a bunch of stunts because of a flip on to an opponent. However, if just one flipper piece breaks off, then your doomed to try since they don't have much power left to flip your opponent out, and that's what HE has to take account of when fighting BA. The long wedge, while leading to better flips, is extremely exposed and can be HE's downfall. Burrrrrrrrrried Aloive wins 2-1 with 1 KO and 1 TKO. Havok Explosion gets 1 TKO. *** The Hammer Fisted twins are capable of annoying CW, but not really KO'ing it easily. Even worse for them is that CW can hit the vulnerable tops of Hammer Fisted. But the question is can CW destroy one of the two pokers before it stalls the match because Hammer Fisted attacks CW and CW can't really hit Hammer Fisted because it's two unstable? Canadian Warlord wins 3-0 with 5 KO's and 1 WBP. *** If CoC can get under Easy Button quick enough and get a powerful enough flip to get out of the arena, then it will win the match. Otherwise, it will leave the exposed motors for Easy Button to take account of and eat up the glass cannon like it was it's breakfast. CoC can do it, it just needs to not lose the weapons or else CoC won't do much. Press This Easy Button To Die wins 3-0 with 2 KO's and 1 WBP. *** Oh dear. MEH couldn't beat NF, so what does that say about the chances of MEH beating Go Up Here 2? It says the chances are pretty low since it's facing the Runner-Up of BTTB 1, but it might have a chance as Go Up Here 2 isn't as deadly as NF. There might be a chance. Go Up Here 2 wins 3-0 with 6 KO's. *** This battle can end in one of two ways: It can feature loads of air time from either bot or it can have a quick one-sided bout ending in less than a minute. Either way, we might see something interesting despite this being a wedge war. ElectroN wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. *** TtTtM is a peice of crap to NFX's standards with the stability of a bouncing ball and the flippers for wedges making TtTtM have a hard time properly landing a hit with the VS's, but Dumb Drum is havoky with the drum on horizontal Snapper2's. This might go either way. Tribute to Tribute to Mayhem wins 2-1 with 2 KO's. Dumb Drum gets 1 KO. *** G4W's wedges are god-like. They can get under pretty much anything. Los Lobos is no exception to this, or is it? This is the first wedge that Los Lobos has come across in this tournament and it's a mystery on how good either wedges they actually are. Grade-4 Whiplash wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. **** The Twins are the only multibots that are still in this. That's not a good sign at all, even if they are crawlers. To be fair, they are the best of the three entrants that are multibots. SD will need to toss the crawlers out quickly before it loses a hammer. SD is capable of this as it's a Chained VS's with tribars. That's combining two ways on how these types of VS's can actively toss bots, and it shows. The Twins have already shown their weakness as one good smack can have them bumble out because of their design. If they can survive long enough however, they can win the match from points scored. Stealth DESTROYA wins 2-1 with 5 TKO's. Talesspin Twins gets 1 WBP. *** Wedge war... again. If Altiwude gets under Windmill, Altiwude wins. If Windmill gets under Altiwude, it might not be over for Altiwude as Windmill's weapons are far forward so that lacks the capability of keeping Altiwude on top of the razors on top. Windmill wins 2-1 with 2 KO's. Altiwude gets 1 KO. *** SoD is bouncy, CoFI is not. Like the last match CoFI was in, it depends on how far apart the wedges are for SoD to get under reliably and beat CoFI. SoD can grind on the sloped wedge of CoFI long enough to win, or CoFI can juggle it and destroy with little problems whatsoever. Round 3 features a pretty kick-ass moment and it's awesome to see in my opinion Spawn of Drumaphobia wins 2-1 with 2 KO's Circle of Flaming Irons gets 1 KO. *** I'm just going to be blunt and say it. It's a wedge war, and you should know how that goes by now. I'll keep this nice and short, like the match. Drumbelina II wins 2-1 with 2 KO's. The Jesters Hat gets 1 KO. *** If KAiZA gets under NF he wins or vice versa. blah blah blah wedge war. Can't say much else without spoiling the winner. Nuclear Fallout wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. *** I was surprised by how BISHOP managed to beat Radioactive Meltdown, so that must mean a rammer should be no problem for him since Stupid Bear lost to ElectroN in Round 1, Right? Maybe, BISHOP got really lucky to win last time since it won on points. Will BISHOP have to hope something good happens, or will he show his skills like a natural? BISHOP wins 3-0 with 2 WBP's and 1 KO. *** Hmm... Let's see here, exposed wheels, nothing to get to the juicy undersides of Arcade, terrible bot type to counter Arcade HW, the only thing that NFX has got is frontal protection. Anything else will have to be from a miracle. Arcade HW: Rise of GF93 wins 3-0 with 2 TKO's and 1 WBP. *** Once again, wedge war. Black Knight's weaponry is damn near useless against BLT unless BLT somehow magically flips itself on it's back and that's just a pipe dream. Maybe he doesn't need the armor in the front. Maybe it can chew up the undersides just like that. Bacon/Lettuce/Tomato wins 2-1 with 2 KO's. The Black Knight gets 1 KO. *** Is this a match I can call a real close one and one that will leave you on the edge of your seat? Hell no. This is quick and simple, like all wedge wars. Crush's Big Daddy wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. ** RBP is quite deadly when it gets under you. It can chew up opponents rather well. I can't really say much else since the match is pretty slow with the last part dragging out from a dance off. Rapiiid Bit Pull wins 3-0 with 2 KO's and 1 WBP. ** Ugh. There is lag all over this one. It just further extends why Stock Flail HS don't really taste good in the end. SC also suffers from stability issues from the flails making it harder to attack one another in the end. Lag really knows how to screw with my camera since it goes nuts from it. The match itself is good on it's own rights, but lag really had to ruin it. Stiletto wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. *** BA can deflect itself to not get hit by the hammers of CW, so that might help it out, otherwise BA is in some pretty grave danger. Canadian Warlord wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. *** Go Up Here can make Easy Button go up where it wants the Easy Button doesn't want itself to go. I mean, Popups kill quickly with the wedging capability it has. Go Up Here 2 wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. *** I didn't think BISHOP had it in him to make it to make it to Round 4 of the Losers Bracket. BISHOP did get two lucky in it's match-ups. Then again, it might have been the fact that BISHOP was made as a VS and was meant to take out RD and Stupid Bear. If BISHOP does win this next against two crawlers, we might have the rare razor guy run of tournaments. Talespin Twins have lost to Stealth DESTROYA, a VS, by being tossed out of the arena. Every other battle the Twins were in resulted from them surviving long enough to take out their opponent by points. This isn't going to be easy for BISHOP. Talespin Twins wins 2-1 with 2 KO's. BISHOP gets 2 TKO's. Nope. No razor guy run here. ** Do you like matches where the only thing happening to both opponents is hugging the walls waiting and stalling the match until one loses from a loss of multiple components and they had to take the fall? Look no further! This match is for you! Los Lobos really knows how to make the majority of the match go slow making Arcade HW lose multiple components and Arcade HW will be hoping it has enough to tear into Los Lobos apart. It may only be a matter of time before Los Lobos actually tears into Arcade HW with the wamming rack and it's long popup rack. It could expose it for Arcade HW to actually pull through. Los Lobos wins 3-0 with 3 TKO's. *** While the first match is extremely boring with nothing happening at all, the next two matches are significantly better in terms of entertainment. BLT is capable of out wedging Dumb Drum with the wedges being in the center while Dumb Drum's are farther apart, but Dumb Drum has the speed advantage to flank BLT to get under. Whoever breaks off their opponents wedges first pretty much has won it already. Dumb Drum wins 2-1 with 2 KO's. Bacon/Lettuce/Tomato gets 1 WBP. **** Some weird recording mishap happened for some odd reason and I don't exactly have a specific reason for it. But that doesn't matter, what matters is that this match has some pretty good hang time coming from ZLTO and has some devastating hits from CBD. While it is the usual wedge war, it still ends up being a better match in this that I had to record so far. There's also one moment where I probably should have thought about before I started the tournament with my rules in tact and one where I will need to consider for my next tournament. Yeah, I should've thought about that before, but this is why I do this display tournaments, so I don't run into these issues from the main tournaments I do, so sue me. ZLTO wins with 2 TKO's. Crush's Big Daddy gets 1 KO. The ragetoon on the botom of CBD would sum up Round 1 quite nicely. *** I had little to cut since the matches were pretty decently lengthened out while not being as short as a classic Popup vs. Rammer battle where it's too short and not one of those HS battles where it would lag out to an eternity. It's at a neutral length for what the match is. Anyway, both bots are different bot types but they have the speed and deadliness ability to be efficient gut-rippers along with the ability to self-right. However, one has something that the other doesn't: The better wedges, and that will be the sole decider for this match. KAiZA wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. *** It's the usual Popup vs. Rammer battle. I'll keep this description short since the match is short, sweet, and to the point. The Jester's Hat wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. *** Like the usual Popup vs. Rammer battle, the VS vs. Hammer battles are just as one-sided, but this type of match-up can take more time that the former and is actually rarer since you don't see many hammers in tournaments anymore. CW may have a chance if... um, it doesn't use the hammers? It's got that ramming rack in the front. Circle of Flaming Irons wins 3-0 with 2 KO's and 1 TKO. *** I was actually hoping this match would be over quickly since it's two popups duking it out, but no, It had to extend itself. Not as bad as I feared, but it's different for being longer than it usually is. Both bots made it very far in the tournament and only one is capable of advancing to the next round. Who will it be? Somebody or Sage? Go Up Here 2 or Altiwude? Go Up Here 2 wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. *** TtTtM has gotten pretty lucky in it's matchups as it's already taken out good bots such Killdozer II and Dumb Drum. ElectroN has shown it's power in previous matches by having all it's matches end in a 3-0 result while TtTtM has lost once in a battle before advancing. That's gonna spell bad news if it can't hold it together for a fourth match. ElectroN wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. *** SD seems like the perfect bot to take on G4W. It's got caster armor along with the fact it's a VS where if you build it just right, it can take out popups with little issues. G4W just needs one good hit on SD to send SD to it's doom on the chassis or the weapon motors for that matter. Both bots are under some deep trouble and have a chance at losing. Only one can advance, so who will join up with our previous semifinalist? Grade-4 Whiplash wins 3-0 with1 TKO, 1 WBP, and 1 KO. *** SoD didn't do as well in BTTB 3 as it's doing here. It got some pretty unlucky match-ups and it had a chance of doing extremely well in BTTB 3. Then again, maybe it's run stops here as it's now facing against a nasty juggler which can get some kills if it traps SoD in a corner. Windmill wins 2-1 with 2 KO's. Spawn of Drumaphobia gets 1 KO. *** The usual wedge war occurs here, it's still quick and simple fight, but both bots have a chance at winning. Nuclear Fallout may have taken out everything in it's path from BTTB 1, it's now fighting a new opponent in a new playing field. This could go either way. Nuclear Fallout wins 2-1 with 2 KO's. Drumbelina II gets 1 KO. *** A lot better than I thought it was before I edited it together. It's full of action, destruction, and it's a pretty close one. Not amazing, but it's good enough. Anyway, Los Lobos has those pitchfork popup arms that can flip bots as well as attack them as well. With a crawler in mind fighting Los Lobos, the Twins are in for a tough fight as both weaknesses are showing for this fight. As long Los Lobos can keep his guard up to take out the Twins quick enough, this should be easy for Los Lobos. Otherwise... Los Lobos wins 2-1 with 3 KO's and 2 TKO's. Talespin Twins gets 1 KO. *** ZLTO has to hope that it can get under Dumb Drum easily to flip it out, or it's toast. Dumb Drum is a fast fighter and one that did exceptionally well for what it was worth in the tournament. Dumb Drum wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. *** Another damn wedge war tussle in this tournament. It's hard to make a description interesting when all that is happening is one bot getting under the other and that decides the winner of the fight. I'm hoping the final doesn't result to this, I really do. The Jester's Hat wins with 3 KO's. **** Battle of the Runner-Ups! Both bots took second place in their respective tournaments losing to two deadly popups built by the same builder (or more specifically, a snow leopard) and now it's time to see which one has a better chance at fighting on in the rest of the tournament. Both bots have the capability to beat each other in a wedge war, it's a close fight. Go Up Here 2 wins with 2 KO's. Circle of Flaming Irons gets 1 KO. *** While there is a lot of moments where bot h bots get stuck in a corner more times than I can count, it's not too bad of a fight. Los Lobos has the capability to flip opponents on their back and maybe even out of the areba, but that really means nothing if it attacks the underbelly long enough to score a KO. SoD really needs to grind up the razors of the popup rack on Los Lobos if it wants to win. Los Lobos wins 2-1 with 2 KO's. Spawn of Drumaphobia gets 1 KO. *** It's a matter of time before the match is over, since both bots are similar bot types, are quick on their feet wheels, and have good wedges. This could go either way. Dumb Drum wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. *** If anything goes like the last match with TtTtM, then it's all over. TtTtM is just bouncy and is popup bait for Jester's Hat. NFX even knows it's not that good nowadays. I bet he'd be surprised it made it this far. Maybe it was luck or it's better than he thinks. There is someone who has hope for that bot, so it might not be over. The Jester's Hat wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. *** Go Up Here has been in the Losers Bracket for it's 6th round now. If it manages to actually pull a DoA and make it back to win the tournament, I'd be shocked if it gets past this one since SD is built to take out popups and this might be the perfect candidate for SD to show it's potential. The pressure is one for both bots. Stealth DESTROYA wins 2-1 with 1 KO and 1 TKO. Go Up Here 2 gets 1 KO. *** G4W is nearly unstoppable if you look at it's current record. I've never seen a single bot outwedge this long enough for it to beat it. It's possible to actually beat it, but it's very tough to do so since it's fast, has long wedges, and are at a wide stance. This is a tough battle for ElectroN. Things are looking grim. However,we have seen ElectroN fight off every wedge it's faced off against. It's capable of outwedging bots. The question is: Does ElectroN have the capability to actually outwedge G4W long enough so it can beat it, or will G4W beat ElectroN to a pulp in less than a minute? Grade-4 Whiplash wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. *** I would just say wedge war and call it a description, but that probably won't dictate the entire match. Windmill is a nasty machine if it does get on it's head. It can fend off opponents with the juggler blades on top of it so that NF loses it's weapons and possibly the chassis HP so that Windmill can win. If that doesn't happen, then NF will eat up Windmill. The bottom of Windmil says "Blown away" and that could sum up Windmill of NF gets underneath it to destroy it. Both bots made it very far in the bracket of BTTB 1, so both have a legitimate shot of actually making it to the finals. Nuclear Fallout wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. *** It'll be a tough match for a bot like Los Lobos to get under Dumb Drum with the wedges it provides since they suffer from some minor Bounty Hunter Syndrome. Dumb Drum on the other hand has been havoking like nuts throughout the tournament with the motor attachments. They both have something to hope for to help them win. Dumb Drum wins 3-0 with 3 KO's. **** This a closer match than I thought it would be. Jester's Hat might have some trouble with this as SD was built to take on popups somewhat unintentionally if you think about it. On the other hand, G4W took down SD no problem with the exception of losing its razors in one match. Jester's Hat better hope that it's over in a painless fashion on his side, especially since it's been in the Loser's Bracket since the fourth round. Stealth DESTROYA wins 2-1 with 1 KO and 1 TKO. The Jester's Hat gets 1 KO. *** Dumb Drum has lost to a bouncy VS in the Winners Bracket, so this may not be any easier for it since now Dumb Drum is fighting ElectroN, a very stable, simple, and effective VS. Dumb Drum has taken out Drumbelina II with little issues so it has some advantage. It ain't over till it's over. ElectroN wins 3-0 with 2 KO's and 1 TKO. **** If Windmill gets under SD, Windmill will be the victor. If SD gets under Windmill, SD might not claim victory so easily as Windmill would. SD has made it this far and has done very well in this, but it has sledges for weapons which if one flies off, it will spell trouble for SD since it will be incredibly unstable and bounce like nobody's business. With Windmill flipped over, it can shove it's juggling blades into SD's face which could make it hard for SD to fight. Windmill wins 2-1 with 2 KO's. SD gets 1 KO. *** We draw closer and closer to the end, as we see our third Quarterfinal. These two have lost in their respective quarterfinal, so one of the two will get a chance to make a comeback against the opponent they've lost to which put them here, or it can end up with them fighting a new opponent. Either way, we may be bound to see something awesome. ElectroN has the simple setup and it's very effective as it has faced against many great wedges before getting here and it's still ended with 3-0 against every bot except for G4W. Windmill, while not as wedgy, is faster than ElectroN since it has 4 HPZ's for drive opposed to ElectroN's 2 Standard Z-teks and 2 HPZ's. This could spell trouble for either opponent. ElectroN wins 3-0 with 2 TKO's and 1 KO. *** As mentioned before, both of these bots were built by Ounce and I will say this again(?) Ounce must've had some good luck with his bot types since he got popups both in BTTB 1 & 3, and he knows how to build them as we are seeing both fight now. If you recall about 4 and a 1/2 years ago, The Ounce gave a preview pic of his BTTB 3 entry beating his BTTB 1 entry in a OHKO. However, this is no longer the Twiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisted (or however long that name is) Arena and this is the Keznorg IGC. Things might change for either bot as Nuclear Fallout has a longer front than G4W, but G4W has the advantage on it's stance as it's wider and can get around to Nuclear Fallout easier than you might think. This is a close bout. These two have a good shot for the final, but only one can be the victor. Nuclear Fallout wins 2-1 with 2 KO's. Grade-4 Whiplash gets 1 KO. *** It's very suprising to me for both ends of this fight. Firstly, ElectroN is a rather strong dark horse of this since it's very different than most bots because Wedged VS both have their pros and cons with them being well balanced in this one. Secondly, I did not expect to see G4W to lose to Nuclear Fallout with its fight record from many (unofficial) battles it's had. In fact, both bots have already faced off against each other in a Winners Quarterfinal with Grade-4 Whiplash as the victor with a 3-0 record. Now here's what I was surprised with it's battle: ElectroN actually got under G4W in Battle 3 and I have said it before, ElectroN can get under G4W, but it needs to stay under G4W in order to actually defeat it. Is ElectroN capable of defeating G4W to settle the score or will this end up as one-sided like last time they fought. There's also one certain event that happens here that I probably should address a certain rule for when I get to my next tournament soon. ElectroN wins 2-1 with 1 KO and 1 WBP. Grade-4 Whiplash gets 1 KO. ***** After battling many opponents who crossed their paths, it all comes down to this final showdown. These two have been the bots to watch as they are deadly for their wedges that they bring to offer. Who will be the victor? The Ounce or Sage? Dude, it's the final. Just go watch it if you want to know who wins. **** A nice clean rumble right here. This will be the last time I will have to say this for this tournament: Wedge war. May the best wedge win. It's a bit entertaining for what it has to offer. The Jester's Hat wins with 2 KO's and 1 TKO.

DISCLAIMER: This tournament may only be up for discussion and may not enter the signups phase because of the things I need to take care of in my life. If I do happen to get to this tournament, it will take a while for it to happen, or I will be allowing someone else who is willing to take this over and change any rules if they wish. I was kind happy with how Robots in Space worked out in the end. There was some interest and I thought a sequel might not hurt to try and fix the errors from the first tournament. Also, I'm gonna try to actually give some sort of back story on this tournament and the last tournament to explain what's actually happening in this. Robots in Space 1: In the distant future year of 3500, there was a group of scientists known as the Alpha Researchers and they found this species of combat robots where they can not only fight on their own mind, but think differently than a normal robot. As this is going on, the Omega Force is attempting to take down the Researchers to become the rulers of the universe. This war between these two federations has been going on for centuries with the Omega Force attempting to turn the civilized universe to a delinquent facility. The Alpha Researchers have had enough of the war and have agreed to find the best robots they have been studying to destroy the Omega Force once and for all with the help of two robots they have been doing research on to defend themselves against the Omega Force.
Robots in Space 2: The Omega Force has declared defeat from the final battle against the Alpha Researchers. As the Research team departs from the battle 7 years after the war, they set their research facility spaceship back on a course to Earth, however, they encounter a dangerous asteroid belt during their journey. After a fatal blow from a stray asteroid and crash land on a distant planet known as Zetatris. The ship's battery is now highly damaged and is not safe to use to power up the ship After a few months of studying the planet and it's organisms, they find a brand new class of combat robots that behave very similarly to the ones they studied years ago. The military base has the soldiers go through training on in a power plant with an electric fence and the source of power below with highly unstable plasma contained in a generator to contain it. The researchers then ponder if they can use the plasma in special rods to power up the ship and depart back to Earth. The researchers also would like to bring back the robots to study their combat efficiency and ability to survive, however, they can only bring one with them since the ship does not have enough power to carry all the robots, so the Alpha Researchers will have another tournament to see which is the best robot. - Stock MW - Unlimited entrants - Two entries per person max - I'm willing to AI if you are not able to, but don't complain what I AI'd your bot (It will not change once the SBV thread is up.) - You cannot enter unless your bot is received and accepted. - Entries MUST be sent in a PM. - The Main Winner and Rumble Winner will be allowed to send extra robots.

(Prize components will only be allowed by the people on the list.) - Smart Zones will not count toward weight, but you cannot use them to act as a ballast - Crawlers and One Wheel Drive are allowed as long as they show some sort of controlled movement. - Interchangeable weapons and forms are allowed, but you MUST PM me what form you want to use in the match. (or it will be randomly selected.) - I will only allow bots that are the best of your ablity, so Jokebots, replicas, IRL style bots, etc. are not allowed. (Please make it more clear this time.) - You can a MINOR change as many times as you wish as long as it doesn't change much of the bot overall, so make it clear that it's a minor change. (Like changing the Razors on your HS to Irons) - Once your bot is accepted, you can only send a MAJOR update it ONCE (Like completley changing your entry from HS to Popup), so be careful. (This rule will not apply to bots that have a problem or are rejected. If the updated bot is not allowed or having an issue, the first bot which has been accepted will stay until a fix is sent.) Multibot Rules:There will be some special portion for multibots if you wish to enter them. Here's how it works: -The maximum number of multibots allowed is 2. -Both bots must stay within 399.0. -Bots can weigh differently as long it does not go over the weight limit. For example, you could send a MW multibot at 175.0 and 224.0 kg. -Both bots must defeated by KO, TKO, WBP, or a Forfeit to move on. -Only one of the two bots will compete in the Annihlator and the heaviest will compete.

The Ounce (1):
Tibsy (1): - 2 minute length matches - 1 vs. 1 Battle Format - Best of 3 Rounds - The Arena will be the Electric Arena 2 (Reskinned, Hazards on) - If there is a battle with Multibots, then it will be fought in the Electric Arena 2T Arena (Same as above arena except Multibots will start side by side.) Wildcard:Unlike last time, there will be a Wildcard bracket. For those unfamiliar with them and how they worked in tournaments of the past, here's the gist of this one: - The Wildcard Tournament will have the last four entrants to send their legal bots, so first come, first serve for the main tournament spots - If I happen to receive more than 4 bots and have less than enough bots so that two bye bots don't fight against each other, then it will be one giant Wildcard tournament to decide the last tournament spot. - These fights will be added to your rankings - The four entrants will fight in a Round Robin tournament and who ever wins the most rounds, or the most points at their last round will take the last spot in the main tournament. Points will be scored are scored like this: - Wins KO's and TKO's earn you 3 Points
- Wins by Match Score will earn you 2 Points
- Wins by Forfeits will score you 1 Point
Annihilator:At the end of the main tournament, there will be a Bonus Annihilator Battle as a replacement for the rumble. All above match rules applies here. This is how it works: - The rumble participants will be the top four bots that aren't the finalists. - They will be decided by the bots who score the most KO's, TKO's, and WBP's. - If there is a 2-4 way tie for the fourth spot, a one round battle royale will determine the winner of the last spot. - Any KO's, TKO's, and WBP's will count towards their rankings. - The Round format will work in an Annihilator battle style format. (For example, suppose the bots were TOG, DRIII, CAH 2, and 4AM Bot. Now Imagine that in the first round, 4AM Bot gets gets beaten. The next round begins will begin without the eliminated bot. (In this case: 4AM Bot) This process continues until one bot is left standing. Restart Rules:The rules about restarting the match will be a little more clear this time. More than one of the below criteria can happnen and not penalize you. If once, that bot gets a Free Restart. If Twice, that bot will forfiet the match if any of the folling criteria occurs: -Havok Restart: The bot does a Hazok Explosion which costs the match for it's opponent. -Second Chance Restart: If the loss was from being pinned, getting stuck for a reaon - A)It has controlled movement.
- B)It has enough battery life for it to actually matter.
- C)The control board warning is not is on yellow or below.
If none of the above is met, then the first match will be the final result of the match. My entries will be shown once all the polls are finished and we are all set and ready to go. If I think of an idea or plan in this tournament that would seem like a cool idea, I will post an announcement about the idea to discuss. Also, all kinds of feedback, criticism, and interest will be appreciated. Thank you.

If there has been a thread similar to this, please merge it with the original. Thanks.
Now, components are absolutely essential in RA2, (I mean without them, how would you make your bot?) But admit it, some components have their shortcomings when in combat. In fact, some are actually pretty useless in because they certain weaknesses that overcome their strengths.
With this in mind, I ponder this: How would one make a component to where it has a heavy usage? So, if you were to improve any component, whether in Stock or DSL, whether useful or useless, I'm curious to know your ideas.

 SBV Thread for RefrenceOnce again comgrats to: Banik96, Virus Bomb, and Badnik96 again, the champion, runner-up, and rumble winner respectively. So now I feel that this needs some bonus awards for this tourney. Rules are: -Anyone can vote. -You cannot vote for your own bot(s) -Joke votes will be thrown out. -Honorable Mentions are accepted. -Normal votes will get two points per votes and Honorable Mentions are worth one point. (So please make it clear) -Voting will close in two weeks. (I will add another week for voting if there isn't a lot of activity) The Awards are: Innovation Award: The bot was different from the rest and well, it just makes watching this bot much more enjoyable because of that. Picasso Award: The bot that you thought looked the prettiest from the visual standpoint with an awesome skin or how well the components were used. Scariest Award: The bot you wanted to never face off against no matter what the circumstances would be in the match. If you saw this bot, all you would do is pray you don't fight it or win if you do fight it. Unluckiest Award: The consolation prize for the bot that you thought would do much better but didn't because of it's bad match ups, or fate having a vendetta against it. Innovation Award: Disastrous Recipe How many times do you actually see a bot that's like Clickbeetle's Recipe for Disaster? Exactly.
Picasso Award: Yeti Let's face it, there are some bots that actually visually bore me, but Yeti is an exception. The skin looks really good for what it is.
Scariest Award: Devil's Rosebush III A 36HS is traditional at this point, yet they always frighten me in any tournament I enter because of how easy they can tear you to shreds.
Unluckiest Award: pomf=3 This bot was one of the top contenders and I expected it to further. Unfortunately, the arena or other bots beaten it in one of the worst situations you could imagine. Some bots didn't even pay attention to it and it got flipped out of it's Qualifier like it was just minding it's own business.

Red: Lost Hammertime vs. Plutonium vs. Overloaded Orbinaut 4*** A rather good way to start the tournament off. A quick, but pretty interesting fight. So Overloaded Orbinaut 4 is better aginst popups but Plutonium was built for HS. Hammertime will have to pray something goes in his favor. Plutonium wins with 2 KOs. Rather simple, Plutonium attacks OO4 then KOs it, attacks Hammertime, then KOs that. The end. *** Pretty high action for this fight, but it just barely missed the 4 star rating. The SnS was built for a rumble format to whack anything against it, like rammers and VS's. Will the SnS have a predictable outcome, or will the other two create something different? Crime Against Humanity 2 wins with 1 TKO, i ran out of bot names gets 1 KO. Keznar and iroobt did most of the dirty work and the Hazards do make this interesting. CaH didn't do much in the fight oddly enough. *** Tri-Tip has less weapons than Two Octillion Gigadollars, weighs much less than Two Octillion Gigadollars, and is much slower than Two Octillion Gigadollars. Um... yeah, Tri-Tip needs to hope for a Havok Forfeit. Thug in space is better, but still might stand no chance. Two Octillion Gigadollars wins with 2 KO's. Yep, just as I thought. * *sighs* I'm not kidding guys. This match drags. I mean it's one thing to have lag, but to have it in a match where robots travel slower than snail mail makes for a boring match. Luckily I edited it so you don't have to experience seven minutes of this, seriously. Anyway, Disastrous recipe was built for rumbles in mind with the 360 degree hammer ans protection on all sides, Red Extender Protectors has spinning armed tribars with weapons and cheese has 2WD. Let's see how this goes. cheese wins with 2 TKO's. cheese got lucky as it was fighting DR, because DR has the flippers throw him away while cheese has one wheel left. REP (*snickers at acronym*) has redbird drive and low power, so REP wouldn't move away in time before it got counted out. Ouch. **** A quick but pretty awesome fight. There was some high intense acrobatics in that one. It all comes down to speed and wedgyness of these bots. WB stated that Vrykolakas has good wedges, but you never know. Vrykolakas wins with 2 TKO's. Wow. That wasn't expected at all. Pride got flipped early on and while DM6 mined at Vrykolakas, it got tricked into the flipper for it to lose. Pride also tried to self-right but fell for the same fate. *** Rather destructive in the battlefield. Pins and Needles and Carbonate better settle a truce to attack Devil's Rosebush III or else it'll be the end of both. Both have the speed advantage of Devil's Rosebush III, so let's see if that matters. Devil's Rosebush III wins with 2 KO's. Looks a truce would have been worthless anyway. Carbonate lost it's weapons from Pins and Needles then was KO'd by DRIII. Pins and Needle's had the speed part down, but HS still can beat pokers. *** Hex 2 was featured in ASAI and while testing it, those wedges are good. The 4AM Bot is slow and and doesn't have as good of wedges as Blood Shed or Hex , but it will depend on who boxrushes who. The 4AM Bot wins with 1 TKO. Blood Shed gets one KO. What just happened? Blood Shed sneaks behind Hex 2 and KO's it and drives up the wall ramp and immobilizes itself. That's what happened. **** Lot's of twists and turns in this. pomf=3 is a tank and will deflect both Yeti's and Mr Punch's weapons. They better hope something good happens. Yeti wins with 1 KO and 1 TKO. Mr. Punch got Yeti early on and pomf=3 circled them, but Yeti KO'd Mr. Punch on the rebound while pomf=3 gets flipped out by the flippers. WHAT DID WE EVER DO TO THOSE DAMN FLIPPERS!?! Devil's Rosebush III vs. Crime Against Humanity 2*** A deadly 36HS vs. a deadly Trinity/HS SnS.Which one will have the upper hand? let's find out. Crime Against Humanity wins with 1 TKO. The destruction is nowhere to be seen. Why? The Flippers. Once again, ouch. **** This match really has bots sky rocketing like they're in the outer limits of space--Oh wait. But seriously, kinda entertaining match honestly. Vrykolakas is built to fight rammers with the VS design, but not all of it's attention was primarily for VS though with the HS design. It's also got some exposed area in the front that Two Octillion Gigadollars could take advantage of. Will that matter? Two Octillion Gigadollars wins with 1 TKO. Some havoks occur early on, but that doesn't cause Vrykolakas any real problems. While TOG took advantage of when the Vertical Spinners got destroyed. But as Vrykolakas was hanging on for his life with the last of his chassis HP, the flippers give Vrykolakas a BIG leap upwards and Vrykolakas didn't quite stick the landing. Maybe this is why there hasn't been a tournament with the Starcore Arena. *** cheese got really lucky in the first round. Will that luck carry on against one fast Rammer/HS? Plutonium has no protected bottom, so cheese might have a chance. Plutonium wins with 1 KO. It was simple, Plutonium rushed to cheese's sides and tore a wheel and then destroyed the chassis. *** These are two bots who caught a lucky break in their first round with some unlucky fighters who probably would've beaten these two. The match is simply a popup vs. popup battle. Nothing else needs to be said. The 4AM Bot wins with 1 KO. The wedges on Yeti weren't good enough to get under 4AM Bot's wedges. Devil's Rosebush III vs. Vrykolakas** I didn't really see much in this match to begin with, it isn't too bad. There is some exciting bits here. Anyway, Vrykolakas was actually in a rock and a hard place, If he won, he would've faced Crime Against Humanity 2. But this might've been the better matchup of the two. Will Vrykolakas pull through? Devil's Rosebush III wins with 1 Havok Forfiet. Yep, havok made this match a little uninteresting. Vrykolakas lost it's VS weapons and jumped out the arena, twice. Can't say much else. *** A nice quick popup vs. popup fight. 'Nuff said cheese wins with 1 KO. Looks like the wedges on Yeti wasn't good enough. Crime Against Humanity vs. Two Octillion Gigadollars**** This is a very bizarre match, in a rather entertaining way. Crime Against Humanity 2 hasn't fought much in it's previous matches and only got an obligatory hit in those matches. However it's against a bot that can charge extremely quickly at Crime Against Humanity 2. Let's see what happens. Two Octillion Gigadollars wins with one KO. TOG hits CAH right off the bat and turned on it's back, but it can still spin. Yet havok really went nuts in this by pulling TOG like a puppet on strings. They didn't cause anything major though. Then after a couple hits, CAH stops spinning leaving it ready to be counted out for immobilization. **** This was also a good match, somewhat close too. Plutonium has already beaten cheese, one of the three popups in the Eliminators, but this popup isn't as good as cheese, so let's see if that makes a difference. Plutonium wins with 1 KO. This fight wasn't as one-sided as you would think, 4AM bot got under Plutonium and pushed him into the hammer, but as plutonium held on from yellow warning light, that's when things go down for 4AM Bot started taking damage to where it got KO'd. Devil's Rosebush III vs. The 4AM Bot*** The 4AM Bot is now up against an it's first HS now. Devil's Rosebush was made for popups with the amount of armor on the top and bottom. Can 4AM Bot pull through? Crazier outcomes have happened before, so let's see what happens Devil's Rosebush III wins with 1 KO. 4AM bot knocked off a weapon motor of DRIII and got it's weapons stuck for a whole minute, but once it got out, the flippers got some time to attack and while 4AM bot was going to attack DRIII, it got jammed in the flipper and got destroyed by it. The flippers must really hate everybody. *** Crime Against Humanity is deadly when it spins up to gyroscopic speeds, so cheese better find a way to exploit that or else it'll be turned to shredded cheese in no time cheese wins with 1 KO. Well, SnS's do have a tendency to not work when the popup tries to attack, but this is new. Usually CAH spins up to speeds to where it's a havok bomb, but cheese stopped it and kept on him and KO'd him. We got ourselves an underdog right here. Devil's rosebush III vs. cheese*** cheese defeated Crime Against Humanity 2 with little problems, but with a very dangerous HS for his next match, only time will tell what will happen to the shallow wedge of doom. cheese wins with 1 TKO. Quick and simple. The flippers made short work of DRIII as it bumbled out from the flip. Surprising and very annoying that the flippers are beating more competitors than the actual competition. Plutonium vs. Two Octillion Gigadollars**** This fight was very destructive and pretty close, but it just missed on the fifth star. Two Octillion Gigadollars has done a pretty good job making it this far, but it got some pretty lucky matchups. Now it's facing off against something that's as fast as TOG and something that can counter the ramming weaponry. Can a rammer make the finals? Plutonium wins with 1 KO. It was destructive indeed, TOG kept ramming Plutonium and knocked off the horizontal maces as TOG barely had any weapons left. Not only that, but 4 wheels were taken off of TOG making it even harder to defend itself against Plutonium's ramming spikes. As TOG got closer to the hammer, it got smashed and then drove up the ramp of the hammer and immobilized itself. *** cheese's run so far is pretty gouda. Plutonium turned it into de-brie, but it's having a Munster of a run in the losers bracket. Alright, I'm done with the cheese puns, but Two Octillion Gigadollars is a rammer and cheese is a popup. Can cheese make it back into the winners bracket or will TOG finish it off? It's a popup vs. rammer battle, what do you think will happen? cheese wins with 1 KO. Nope, not even a rammer could beat the sharp cheese (okay I lied, I'm done for real now.) cheese got under TOG and attacked it's underside and removed a ramming rack and then flipped it on it's back. I thought for sure TOG would be able to move while inverted, like in it's previous battles, but something must've gotten under TOG and cost it. Plutonium vs. cheese (Rematch)***** This is it. The final battle! Plutonium has already destroyed cheese early in the brackets, but cheese made it all the way back to the final. They've been through some tough competitors, but who will take the glory? Virus Bomb or Badnik96? cheese wins with 1 TKO. Plutonium drove on cheese and flew off like a speed bump, but he struck back by attacking on cheese's front, but cheese drove near a wall and when the weapons finally fired to attack Plutonium, he ejected Plutonium out of the arena. Giving cheese the win. Hold on! Plutonium needs to lose twice since he was undefeated. So can cheese pull of another victory, or is cheese's streak gonna end? Let's see in the second match. There's no going back after this. Are you sure? cheese wins with 1 TKO, again. This time cheese pushed Plutonium near the hammer and knocked one of the spinners on Plutonium. He starts to bumble around and cheese pushed the bumbling Plutonium near the ramp right out of the arena! Pride v. MR. Punch 2 vs. Overloaded Orbinaut 4*** This is a good rumble. That's all I have to say. Pride has the Dual chained weaponry, Overloaded Orbinaut 4 is your typical 36HS, MR. Punch 2 is a very underweight popup, and Thug in Space is something else. Lots of things happening here. Overloaded Orbinaut 4 wins with 1 KO. Pride gets one TKO and MR. Punch 2 gets one KO. Pride attacked Tis and punted him out and Mr Punch got Pride while distracted on Tis long enough to KO him. Mr Punch tried to attack OO4, but got destroyed while attacking. *** A rather interesting match actually. Blood Shed is heavily armored and is a popup, it all depends on how good the wedges are compared to Hex 2. pomf=3 has way more armor than any other bot here and Carbonate has gotta hope something good happens to him to win. pomf=3 wins with 1 KO. Blood Shed gets 2 KO's. Blood Shed, like the popup it is, made short work of the rammer Carbonate. while that's happening, pomf=3 and Hex 2 are brawling each other, Blood Shed attacks Hex 2 and removes it's drive and then destroys it. Blood Shed then attacks pomf=3 with a good chunk of damage done to it while pomf=3 still has the spike armor. To make things quick and short, Blood Shed takes pomf=3 on the flipper and Blood Shed is unable to self-right since the impact of the flippers took of the wedges and the ability to self-right. Looks like I know what to do to update Blood Shed next time. ***** This is truly a great battle. Lots of destruction and action here. It was also at a decent length even with lag. Two bots got screwed by the flippers here early on in the Qualifiers. The other two lost because they didn't do well enough. Diamond Miner 7 has the juggling acpability, Disastrous Recipe has great defense, Keznar has giant discs and Pins And Needles is a poker against these three bots that aren't popups. Let's see how this goes Diamond Miner 7 wins with 2 KO's and 1 TKO. DM7 and Keznar attack each other early on and bring the fight closer to PAN and DR to where they go to one of the hammers. This is when PAN gets KO'd and DR and DM7 fight when Keznar gets stuck on the ramp. DR gets tossed out and Keznar gets free to fight DM7 and since the wedges are inferior to DM7, Keznar gets KO'd. *** No matter what, Kungfooey will lose since both of his bots are in the same match. But we shall se if playzooki's rammer can put up a fight against Thyrus's servo HS. Red Extender Protector wins with 1 KO. i ran out of bot names gets one KO. (I don't know about Tri-Tip in this case.) Tri-Tip got on the flipper and flew out of the arena not wanting to be a part of this tournament anymore, while iroobn destroys Hammertime. While that happens, Red Extender Protector inches towards iroobn and knocks of a ramming rack off. iroobn takes a few weapon motors off, but iroobn gets destroyed anyway from the weapon rack falling off not protecting itself. Overloaded Orbinaut 4 vs. pomf=3 vs. Diamond Miner 7 vs. Red Extender Protector**** After a harsh loss from their qualifier, they won a match against four and will attempt to gain redemption, will Badnik's Badnik pull a victory in the battlefield? Will 090901 gain his luck back after being robbed from the hazards? Will The Ounce's prediction of losing be proven wrong and show what Diamond Miner 7 is really made of? Or will Thyrus the underdog prove himself worthy? All will be answered Rumble Final. Overloaded Orbinaut 4 wins with 1 KO. Red Extender and Diamond Miner 7 get 1 KO each. Welp, Badnik won two championships now. (This is a small issue with secondary entries now that I recorded this match.) It was helluva match as things were happening from all four bots, Diamond Miner 7 pinned pomf=3 on the ramp of the arena and was counted out. OO4 dealt a lot of damage to DM7 and REP finished it off and the remaining two duke it out. But it was inevitable as OO4 destroyed REP a few seconds later.

In a nutshell, this is the thread to discuss any Jackbox related games out there. Like Quiplash, Fibbage, Drawful, Earwax, etc. For more information, go to thier website, for all the games included and other games they have done. If you want to host a game, just say the game you want people to join with you and what the room code is. To join the game, go to jackbox.tv, and enter your name and code of the game. Simple as that. Original title: Fibbage
Please tell me I'm not the only one who knows about this game. Basically, the game is similar to Balderdash, where you have a random fact that needs an answer, then you think of a lie that might fool your opponents to score points, once the lies are entered, there are a set amount of answers and it's up to you to find the truth, hidden somewhere in the maze of the lies. It's pretty simple to understand. As long as you aren't the host, you can join in the game for free as long as you have an internet browser.
It's pretty fun actually, and it's also made from the creators of You Don't Know Jack, and just like that game, it's pretty damn hilarious.
I plan on getting the game so I can host a few games for us if you would like. But first, what do you like the game?
Edit: Oh yeah. I forgot to mention it, but you can buy the game for the PS3, PS4, and Xbox One. It's also available on Steam along with the Jackbox Party Pack bundled with a bunch of other games but it's a little more expensive.

I was just messin' around with arenas like the Kenzorg IGC. Small problem I'm having with it is that when I play in that arena and after a few parts fall off the opponent, the game just crashes on me. I've tried going from widescreen to fullscreen, but the game still crashes. Anyone know why this is happening?
56
« on: November 19, 2014, 02:53:47 PM »
I'm surprised no one has made a thread about it at this time.
If you didn't think Slender was scary, then this game (or the sequel) could terrify you. For those unaware about the game, it's a game where you at the restaurant Freddy Fazbear's Pizza during the night, working as a security guard and you must keep an eye on the animatronics that roam the night and you must do this for six hours for five consecutive nights.
I've seen various Youtube videos on this series and I've had my honest share of jumpscares, but it's only the first game though. But as I kept watching the videos, I've gotten less scarred of the games.
What's your experience with the series?

 For those familiar with the mock tournament I made a while back, this will be the same ball game. I'm also considering making this a series if this is popular enough.
