it will depend on who gets through...

Claw Cube couldn't hold up against one of the shell spinners in this...

Loser's bracket round 1, part 2/2 is up!


There were a lot of fights involving rammers in this group, and a lot of them were good.  All that work I put into the v3 rammer AI is paying off now.  But is it enough to get the rammers some wins?


Odd thought I just had: no tournament has ever been won by a rammer, a rammer hasn't done well in BBEANS since BBEANS3, and yet there's never any shortage of them in tournaments.     Is it just because they're easier to build?  In any case, they certainly make for entertaining matches.

do whammers count as the same ?

the Metal Mutts are looking good *touch wood*

[The Ounce]

I'm kinda disappointed that I wasn’t able to score a KO, but at least I won all three rounds.  I think I can win the next round against either New Ruin or Mutant Kabuto, but I’ll just have to wait and see.

Here are my 2nd round predictions:

ReActive over Sawzal – Unless Sawzal can avoid hitting the weapons of ReActive and instead hit the extenders, I highly doubt that its weapons can last long enough to KO ReActive.

Power Surge over N-Trench – Even with that drive I don’t doubt that Power Surge will be able to sweep away N-Trench, and even if it manages to get under I don’t think the weapons will be able to deal enough damage Power Surge’s chassis in time.

Resentful Princess 2 over Death of Angels 2 – It’s very close, but I think RP2 has enough weapons to significantly damage DOA2 before it can do the same to its opponent.

Elle Driver over What Sheck Spinner? - I’m still not sure if Elle Driver can reliably gut-rip an opponent, but if it can get to the chassis of WSS?, which is most likely very fragile, then ED will very likely win.

New Ruin over Mutant Kabuto - Even with Mutant Kabuto’s “awesome” weapons I’m leaning towards New Ruin simply because it has more weaponry and heavier, high-HP weapons are usually not better on flails than lighter, high-DP weapons.

Blood Orange over Missile Test – Wedge-less VSs usually pwn wedges unless the wedge is a wammer, which Missile Test is not, nor is it low enough to bypass the weapons of Blood Orange.

Minor Launch Platform MK 2 over Guardian Angels – Even if Trumpetguy theoretically has built the better wedge of the two, MLP2 is faster so it might get under GA, and Guardian Angels will likely not deal enough damage to MLP2 before it somehow gets underneath it.  The question is if MLP2 can get underneath and KO it.

Bane X over Blabber-mouth – I highly doubt that B-M is fast and damaging enough to KO Bane X before it gets ripped to shreds.

AtaxiA over Deinonychus – I’m just leaning towards AtaxiA because it probably has the better wedge and because it’s R0B0!

1.8 over Power Surge 3 – Similar designs, but 1.8 has greater weapons.  The question is if 1.8 can avoid being gut-ripped by its opposition.

Bisector over Reier’s Avatar 3 – Even with the damaging flails, I don’t think RA3 can break through Bisector’s front armor before it suffers severe damage to its chassis, which is wide open for Bisector to hit.

Stanley 2 over AntonYYYm – In testing Stanley 2 against FlipJack 4, I find that it gets flipped out of the arena around half of the time, but AntonYYYm’s flippers are weaker than that of FlipJack 4’s (in HP and maybe flipping power), so the odds are mostly for Stanley 2.

S Cargo over Terrible Sight – Referring back to my prediction of Blood Orange vs Missile test, S Cargo is likely to win this being a wedge-less VS against a wedge, but this wedge has “invincible” front armor and the chassis of S Cargo is wide open for Terrible Sight to hit it.  It could go either way but I’m for S Cargo.

Predator over Primal Instincts X – The weapons of Predator are damaging thanks to being on axles, but the normal weapons probably reduced the damage potential it could have had.  It depends on if Primal Instincts X can avoid being swept away and if its front armor can hold out long enough.

Claw Cube 3 over The Mini Warrior – It could go either way; That axe on The Mini Warrior looks like it can get a few good hits on the exposed top of Claw Cube 3, but Claw Cube 3 has the more damaging weapons.  If The Mini Warrior’s front armor can hold out long enough for it to get a few chassis then it can win, otherwise it is Claw Cube 3’s victory.

Infection 4 over Trigger Happy – Both have skirt hinge wedges, but faster wedges tend to do better than slower ones.

Blood Orange over Missile Test? *evil laugh* I bet that Blood Orange will be pwned.

[The Ounce]

I bet that Blood Orange will be pwned.

You keep thinking that.

OK I'll stop.

[Jonzu95]

Good Snow Leopard.

Anyway, I'm surprised that Ice Tornado didn't get KO's.

[COOLRUNNER87]

I feel a little more relieved now. Sorry, Powerrave. You were a worthy adversary. Now, to await my inevitable demise at the hands of either Blood Orange or Missile Test...

SnS against another SnS... and you are surprised ?

[The Ounce]

Good Snow Leopard.

*bites hand*

And Ice Tornado uses FBSInvertDir.py, so it had the chance to score some KOs (it came close a couple of times), but the Havok mines from CGS!'s drive motors prevented it from doing so.

[Jonzu95]

Ouch! Damn you Ounce!

I think that Missile Test will survive to Winner's bracket Semifinals. But Bane X will win BBEANS6.

[Badnik96]

The havok in CGS/IT's fight at 1:57 was epic :P

[Squirrel_Monkey]

I almost LBP in my match 3!

[HurricaneAndrew]

Holy crap... My crappy internet actually loaded the thread!

Anyway, I'm glad to hear that 4Head put up a good fight. The fight against BWMS in the loser's bracket sounds like a real doozie. I knew that it wouldn't last long. I was just happy to get in BBEANS6 with a half-assed decent bot.

Sure wish I could watch the videos. Which brings me to my next order of business...

It seems that with all the recent changes made to GTM, my internet has a really hard time loading it. I have come to the conclusion that I will not be able to get on the forum much. Therefore, I won't be around GTM much anymore and BBEANS6 will probably be my final tournament, At least until I can get a decent internet connection. I still may show up from time to time, but I most likely won't enter any tournaments for a while.

Thank you to all who read this and actually give a crap.

[cephalopod]

I'm not sure I like Jonzu's cocky-ness about beating Blood Orange...
All I'm confident about is it being a good match :)

[Jonzu95]

I'm confined too. Good Luck Craaig!

I've been having the same problems.

Dawn finally locked you up then? ;p

Anyways, on topic, I'm sad I missed BBEANS this year, but the matches I've watched have been great. Great job click :D

[Somebody]

Well good luck with that connection HA
