At this point, it's looking like the rumble will involve SurgicalStrike, Vela, Big Flip's Revenge, and Trojan Horse if R4 wins against CI, or if it loses again, either Trojan Horse or R4, depending on whether R4 loses 0-3 or 1-2.

Haha, that'll be interesting. How will just 1 BFR handle a BBEANS rumble, let alone a match.


Good matches there. Good luck to the last 3.

at worst I've got 2nd and 3rd between CC2 and BBEANS5. Not bad. Bring on BBEANS6!

Click will need a vacation... It is incredible how many matches he had to tape for this tourney as it is!  Wow.

Edit: Holy crap... I guess i was not paying attention, but I just noticed S13's AI trick.  I am curious though, if you don't mind explaining.  Is the AI programmed to figure out the best place to put the wedges after the first round? or does it make that decision on the fly?  I noticed that it started with far wedges at first and then after that it brought the wedges closer.

If S13 wins... it totally makes a strong point that we could build much better tourney bots if we learn more about tweaking the AI for smarter attacks.  Probably old news to most of you, but this didn't really occur to me until now.

R4 vs. Copyright Infringement #2 is up!

And now, we have our two finalists, and our four rumble participants.  :mrgreen:

You bet I will.  BBEANS6 will happen, but not until 1) I get the stock BBEANS AI pack done, and 2) I at least make some major progress on DSL3, if not get it done.

Seism 13's AI is told to use the wide wedges by default, whenever it detects a new opponent.  If the other bot doesn't get under Seism 13, then in all future matches it will continue using the wide wedges until the other bot does get under.  If the other bot gets under Seism 13, then it will switch to the narrow wedges right away, and also use them in the next match.  It will continue using narrow wedges until the other bot gets under them, at which point it will switch back to wide wedges.

It keeps track of all that from match to match by writing information to a .txt file that serves as its "memory".

Holy crap! That AI has so much potential!

Imagine, a bot that is equipped for any situation...

It would be nearly unstoppable!

Edit: Three strikes, you're out!

Good lord.

Anyway, awesome at being called up for the Rumble.

Well, so far Seism 13 hasn't been stopped...

The worst that's happened to it was a 2-1 win against Absolute Chaos.

Remember, though, you have to build a bot equipped for any situation before you can AI it.  And good luck doing that.

Anvil Studio.  It's a free MIDI program.  He uses a bunch of custom sound fonts, though, so it doesn't sound like typical MIDI music.

Well, my second consecutive final. How's that for revenge, Mike :P

And R4 scores the 1-hit KO hat trick.

If there was a Hidden Weapon team in stock (and not Clash Cubes either), R4 would be in it. It literally was a hidden weapon until now. Of mass destruction.

:o @ R4
I think S13 will win the final though (an R4 win isn't impossible however...)

I trust R4's wedges on this one. So he will most likely win the first match. Once S13 switches from wide to narrow wedges in the 2nd and 3rd round, however...

And R4 has to beat S13 twice, kinda like HazCon vs. Enfilad3. But it happened before.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

Yeah Seism wins this fight. It has longer wedges so once it switches to narrow, it will get under no problem.

R4 has lost. Short wedges < long wedges.
