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 think you're right.

And I think I will be able to win my next fight against Gears your Lever, it looks like my weapons are higher than theirs are.

In my testing SCv3 I battled Epic, and one thing is sure.....it will most likely be a very boring match. Even when epic did get under it was still boring as they eventually locked up and Epic lost a wedge. So, even if you get under and one hit kill.....it will still be boring.......no 4 stars next match!

First of all, the match and click's comments where both fine.

- i've been surprised about the effectiveness of face spinners : well built bots there !

-popup are always deadly. a special price for Chirurgical strike.

- the good front protection of Bounty hunter seems to limit the power of it wedge. Is it due to a lack of driving power or is it inherent to such a front ?

Second answer. Caster armored wedges are not easy to climb, especially by another wedge.

Popups have always been deadly and Surgical Strike looks like a good one, one of several in this tournament. I too enjoyed reading the comments and the vids were awesome too. Glad people still play this game and have not let it die like some older games.

All of the mods and these tournaments are part of why I still play it, even though I think I got the game in 2003 or 2004.

Epic is much larger than SS, mostly because I built it off snappers (SS that is).

But it still could go either way.

Next match: MiDF

Result: Dead.

Somebody · « **Reply #252 on:** May 20, 2009, 05:15:54 PM »

Somebody in Agreement: Completely

I think my chances are okay against Seism 13. It will either go as an epic failure for Chernobyl, or be close such as the BBEANS 1 championship, with me winning.

I will give it 65/35 chance for the closeness.

The last half of the round 2 winner's bracket is up, and I can guarantee you that NOBODY got all their predictions right. There was one HUGE upset this round, as well as several very close fights that everyone expected to be one-sided.

I didn't touch the AI you sent me for R4; it's all yours. I could have changed it to Popup.py to fix the premature firing issue, but I figured that with 20 razors it doesn't matter so much if they get hit from firing early. If you want, I can still change it to Popup.

I'm pretty surprised that Heaven's Sawmill and Bumblebee lost. I'll post my predictions soon for round 3.

RedSawn · « **Reply #255 on:** May 24, 2009, 05:26:02 PM »

Well, what did you know. I expected to lose 2-1 and I did. Sweetness.

Beautiful flip in the round 2 restart.

40757 · « **Reply #256 on:** May 24, 2009, 05:38:07 PM »

Round 3 predictions

45-70 Magnum: It's all based on the wedge. I'm just taking a wild guess since ACAMS is ranked #1 for BBEANS.

R4: Hellbringer lacks a wedge.

Copyright Infringement: Meh... this was a hard choice. Copyright Infringement is a weak HS and I'm not sure if No Hype would flip it out of the Arena, but Copyright Infringement is still a Horizontal Spinner and hard to get a hold of.

Bounty Hunter: That SnS won't work this time as Bounty Hunter is castor armored. Rammer will suicide as usual.

Seism 13: Seism is doing great. After the two bots it just beat, I'm pretty sure it can beat the Emancipator.

Pita 8: Another tough decision for me. A castor front gives Pita my vote.

Shadow Tyrant: Shadow has 6 ramplates and 4 wedges, so losing them isn't much of a problem. Also, TBP isn't very strong anyways.

Death Dealer: It's pretty much NWB vs any spinner. NWB usually loses.

JoeCB1991 · « **Reply #257 on:** May 24, 2009, 05:48:00 PM »

Seeing some of these great bots lose makes me feel better about how well I do in here...

Naryar · « **Reply #258 on:** May 24, 2009, 06:54:59 PM »

Honestly there were no really boring matches.

Most were either good or awesome - Stratocaster flying, PitA 8 kicking ass like i didn't expected, Redline did pretty well too, Cheap Win 3000 losing to a failure of a complex spinner, Seism 13 being epic, what else ??

And these flippers are full of win.

RedSawn · « **Reply #259 on:** May 24, 2009, 07:35:07 PM »

Guess it's what really should be expected from the Winner's Bracket. The best meeting the best for theoretically the best matches.
