Thanks for doing videos, RedAce and Geice!  It looks like you've already updated the bracket; I also went ahead and put them on the OP.

Woulda been nice if I hadn't lost due to a massive havok explosion propelling Badger's bot high enough to hit mine.  Didn't have to record the episode, though, so I guess I can't look a gift horse in the mouth too much.

tbf that's just an issue of the cannons in retooled. i probably should've done a havok, but i found it way to frequent to consider and it would've been counted as havok restarts against your bot

Ironically the mod I hated building for the most I'm doing the best in. Guess I got further in Stock still but these Retooled matches haven't really been close so far

At least I got beat fair and square.

I just haven't had the experience (think I only had a day to whip up Metal Munchies), but I'm starting to see why you're hating on Retooled.

[Mouldy]

Not enough damage output, just like in the challenge. At least I've got some plans to fix it. Well done, Tashic.

Honestly, I think the biggest problem with Retooled is that we opted to use cheatbot2 mode for the Championship.  I ran a Retooled tournament in no-cheatbot2 mode and it went fine.

Stock!  LR5!

Thrackerzod vs Geice
R1885 vs 090901
Fracture vs Badnik
Conraaa vs Craaig

Welp, I was wrong about losing to Geice.  GG dude.
Surprised to see the Hokago go out, even more surprised to see the SnS go out.
Also, Maul Blart keeps winning things.

Up next: IF LR5 or whatever RedAce posts, if he gets here before I do.

[Mecha]

rip geice 
I dislike boring re-entered popups.

[Conraaa]

GG Craaig. You better bloody win the whole thing now.

I'll admit, I thought I would do a bit better in the tournament.

[Fracture]

I suspected my match would be pretty boring after seeing that matchup. Glad I don't have to face R1885 considering my bot has the same mobility problems as 090901

[Dreamcast]

Not Tea Time! Not the SnS! Not the popups! Not the popups? I hate popups.

[Thrackerzod]

GG Craaig. You better bloody win the whole thing now.

I agree.

Ironforge!  LR5!

Scorpio vs Conraaa
rnifnif vs RedAce
Wen vs Lightning S.
Bobyasianboy vs Thrackerzod

So, I'm against Wen next round.  I think WedgePopup should be able to beat Potedon, since it has a shallow, wide wedge and front armor, but I've been wrong before.

If you've been enjoying the Ironforge matches, please consider entering my tournament, ironyforge tornoment. #AD

Thrashkar has no right to be as destructive as it is. I think Redace can finally kill him though.

Y U Salt?

Anyways GG Conraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Anyone who's gotten to this point deserves at least some props.

Also, I will be pleasantly surprised if I win my next matchup.

Also, is anyone gonna update the BBEANS-style rankings? They've been collecting dust since Round 2.

[Dreamcast]

Those scores are all effe'd up. If they're BBEANS scores then they should be based on number of wins divided by number of losses plus four.

[Thrackerzod]

Is that in reference to the BBEANS styled rankings thing?  Badnik was doing those, and so I don't think they've been updated for a while, at least since he ragequit or whatever.  I should probably just get rid of that link, actually.

[Thrackerzod]

Howdy everyone!  This is my 1600st post, and what better way to celebrate an arbitrary milestone than by posting more of everyone's favorite official tournament?

Things have been narrowed down quite substantially, actually.  Only 8 bots remain!  Well, in Stock and Ironforge, at least.  And today, we're gonna... actually not reduce that number at all, since I'm doing matches from the winners' bracket.

Stock R5:

Lightning S. vs playzooki
Scorpio vs ty4er

But, since it's a special occasion, why not do Ironforge also?

MNB vs 090901
Reier vs Mr. AS

I think the second round of MNB vs 09 marks the first time the descending arena wall actually did anything.

[Reier]

why would you not restart the match when a bot gets high-centered on another 

gg as

not sure if i can outwedge 09

[Thrackerzod]

why would you not restart the match when a bot gets high-centered on another 

It's a pretty dumb thing to happen, but there's not a rule saying "restart if one bot gets high centered on the other" so I left it in.

[Scorpio]

GG ty4er. Didn't really expect to win that one, but looks like I put up a good fight at any rate, at least the first time.

Still, I think this guarantees me Top Six in Stock, does it?

In other news, flame wedges are absolutely, stupendously cheap. Thank god I don't have to face this one (yet) if I manage to win my next IF fight.

[Scorpio]

Also, applogies for double post, but you got Round 5 vids for Stock and Ironforge mixed up on the vid links.
