The Big Cheese is going for a razor guy run!

Badnik96 · « **Reply #72 on:** May 04, 2014, 09:54:11 PM »

In two classes :P

It even kinda looks like a yellow razor guy...

Anyway Shrederator beat Touro by forfeit, so I think tomorrow's HW matchup is going to be Shrederator vs Big Cheese. Unless Gruff shoes up, but since its MW version didnt I'm not too sure...

Edit: Nope, Gruff isn't fighting. Shrederator vs Big Cheese for the first finals spot.

Edit 2: Guess Touro got running again. Shrederator's fighting Touro.

I got bored and wrote up today's and yesterday's fights so if you're too lazy to skip through the 7 hour stream (I don't blame you) they're in text form here:

I didn't catch the final day. Who won?

Gotta say I enjoyed watching the first two days though. Almost like being at a live event. Last time I was at one of those was back when TC Mechwars was around.

UnMakerBot, General and Touro Maximus ended up winning.

Nice to finally see a HW other than Original Sin, Last Rites or Sewer Snake win a competition. Too bad Shrederator didn't have a better showing, you'd think after nearly 10 years since their last fight they would have fixed most of the issues.

That's what he tried to do in updating the motors and batteries. But the new Shrederator was untested in battle, so there were issues. Might've been better if he just ran the same old Shrederator without making any upgrades, but I don't know if that was even an option.

Also, Touro Maximus and Polar Vortex are tough opponents. It wasn't just Shrederator's fault that it lost. It was actually spinning for a good portion of its fight against Polar Vortex, but PV still managed to tank all the damage it could dish out and shove it around.

I still feel very strongly against the Touro Maximus victory after that post-match hit.

Some scrub stole RIP and Touro Light while they were heading back to Brazil. I wish I had a link but all I have is one guy on facebook.
