1st time I've done predictions.

Vela: Magnum uses way too many razors, which will get ripped off from 24 maces.

Surgical Strike: I'm confident in Surgical Strike's abilities after its last win. Spearhead will get gut-ripped since it has no wedges.

Hell Bringer: Despite fighting a Horizontal Spinner, I think Hell Bringer will win. Grinnin Face has very high tribars. Hell Bringer will inch its way under it and gut-rip it to death, just like it did to Anti Christ.

R4: Just like SS vs T-800, except this time the odds are favored more in the pop-up's hands.

No Hype 5: Apparently Sandstorm has very bad wedges. No Hype 5 will get under it and gut-rip it.

Copyright Infringement: HS with many weapons vs two Middle Weights.

Bounty Hunter: ...

Consonant / Vowel: SD told me that Cocytus had pretty bad wedges, plus it seems pretty hard to juggle two bots at once.

Seism 13: If Seism can do it once, it can do it again.

Heaven's Sawmill: Click probably has good wedges.

Pita 8: Bad HS vs good Pop-up.

Absolute Chaos: Ouch.

Bumble Bee: Bumble Bee crawls over TBP and then kills it in seconds.

Shadow Tyrant: Would of been different if Vetearn Destroyer had wedges.

Crawl Through Knives: Pretty tough for Stratocaster to beat CTK since SC is meant to ram. Stratocaster will run up Crawl Through Knive's wedge and get gut-ripped.

Death Dealer: Once Mjorhmei tips over or loses a snowplow, it will probably backflip out of the arena.

Vela: Magnum is too slow, big wheels and not much of a decent wedge. Those Axes may be a decisive factor though...

Spearhead: SS may be a powerful bot, but those razors may break on Spearheads barrage of irons.

Hell Bringer: Grinnin face is unbursted, and uses weak razor designs. It's also roughly 500KG. Mark needs to learn a little.

R4: R4 looks awesome, and gut ripper has a high ground clearance.

No Hype 5: sandstorms wedges suck. I also predict this match being 2 or 1 star.

The Palindromes: Copywright isn't a pure HS, and it has a large chassis...

Bounty Hunter: Bumble bee ain't the only bot to get 2 free rounds...

Cocytus: I fought NWB in the combat arena with nailgun as a teammate, and the result was this: Vowel will have a nice flight.

cheronybl: MIDF's motors were in the same place, this bot has them wider. No more lucky his here...

Heaven's Sawmill: Better main weapon.

Pita 8: Badly done HS and a very good Pop-up with casor armour... All three kings can hope is a misfire to expose those juicy weapons...

Absolute Chaos: If you don't like total OWNAGE, don't watch.

Bumble Bee: Bumble bee will win. As expected.

Shadow Tyrant: Rammer with horrid axe VS popup with heckuva lotta armour.

SC: SC may go up it's ramp, but CTK is too slow to keep up a fight. Here's a hint: Weapons on top + slow bot = sucky match.

Death Dealer: Mjorhmei is going to dance like Vowel is.

R4 - The misnamed Gut Ripper isn't powerful enough to KO quickly his unarmored opponent, and the said opponent is VERY powerful.

That was actually the first thing I could think of, and I only named it that because it had razor's that would rip out someones guts in real life.

aw sh**... i lost. -.- wasnt even close.

ah well, viper had the better bot

Man! I went out like a punk. Perhaps I need to modernize... or start entering my weird bots that aren't very good at fighting, but are really entertaining to watch.

Atleast you make reference to the R4DS, a decent auto-booting homebrew cartridge for the DS.

Is something wrong with Tsunami? The weapon didn't launch once in the whole match.

JoeCB1991 · « **Reply #227 on:** May 12, 2009, 04:46:23 PM »

I was surprised by that too. I think that you could of ripped off one of my weapons if it did fire.

And I think I can win my next match if I can do the same thing I did in this one.

The AI is probably looking for the chassis to be in the smart zone rather then weapons. Don't recall Tsunami getting properly under it's opponent (forgot who it actually was)

Same happened with BFR. It only launched it's weapons about 60% of the time that I would.

Somebody · « **Reply #229 on:** May 12, 2009, 07:39:15 PM »

I know that there is an AI that only targets the chassis...

Naryar · « **Reply #230 on:** May 12, 2009, 08:05:11 PM »

Popup.py.

Just like Omni, but the smartzone must touch the chassis (not the component) to make the weapons fire.

You guys seem to have all the fun when I'm gone.

Hey. The next set of videos is up--the first half of the round 2 winner's bracket! Let me tell you, there were some good fights, some surprises, and no duds.

Wings · « **Reply #234 on:** May 17, 2009, 09:00:13 PM »

No duds indeed, if this half was good the next will be better for sure with Absolute Chaos, Heaven's Sawmill, and Bumble Bee joining the fight now.

Naryar · « **Reply #235 on:** May 18, 2009, 01:11:16 AM »

Nice fights.

R0B0SH4RK · « **Reply #236 on:** May 18, 2009, 01:20:09 AM »

Good fights all-around, but R4's performance kind of concerns me. In AI testing against Borg Queen, it was barely able to scratch R4, let alone bash its front in. Hopefully that's just attributed to the fact that Gut Ripper has a long reach, because the weapons seemed to be firing prematurely.

Also, Vowel = O:

I've told you I'm good with SNS.

somestrangeguy · « **Reply #238 on:** May 18, 2009, 05:02:25 AM »

My fight went as I tought it would...

S32: I think you might have been betteroff with 2 vowels, instead of that suicidal consonant. Almost had that fight too, if only vowel had not flown out in the second fight.

Great fights.
Can't wait for the next set of vids, should be some awesome fights there :)
