BBEANS6 Brackets&Videos

[The Ounce]

I'm surprised at the outcomes of the first and third matches, but everything else went as I expected.

Round 3 Predictions:

Power Surge over ReActive – If a SnS is stable enough, it is virtually capable of beating anything.  While I’m not sure about Power Surge’s stability, I think it’s enough to beat ReActive.

What Sheck Spinner? Over Resentful Princess 2 – Anything that out-weapons a flail shell spinner is capable of beating it.  That is why WSS? is given its name.

New Ruin over Missile Test – Even with front armor like that, Jonzu’s popup is too slow to get underneath New Ruin and hit its chassis.  Then again the smartzone seems far forward, so it might hit New Ruin and upset its balance, then have a shot at the chassis.

Bane X over Guardian Angels – Guardian Angel doesn’t look to have the weapons or speed to gut-rip a powerful shell spinner like this one.

1.8 over Deinonychus – Even though it’s a gut-ripper versus rammer match, I’m not sure if Deinonychus’ weapons can last against those of 1.8; it just needs to avoid hitting them and hit the vulnerable parts instead, but how easily can it do this?

Stanley 2 over Reier’s Avatar 3 – Stanley 2 simply out-weapons RA3; the only chance it has of beating Stanley 2 is if its weapons are low enough to gut-rip it.

Terrible Sight over Predator – The ultimate grudge match.  I don’t think the bear claws of Predator can destroy Terrible Sight with its cheap weaponry and armor, but that wedge on Predator might make a difference.

Infection 4 over The Mini Warrior – I don’t doubt Infection 4’s ability to out-wedge its opponent here, but it has a lot of armor, so it could last longer against it than some.


Losers’ Bracket Round 2 predictions:

The Strike of a Ninja over Trigger Happy – I doubt Trigger Happy’s wedge is any good , but who knows.

Star Dust over Claw Cube 3 – Claw Cube 3 has an exposed front and looks prone to being juggled; the ideal opponent for Star Dust.

Moving Violation over Primal Instincts X – Dual wedges beat short, single wedges, but since small wedges make a good wedge choice, it might not be the case here.

Final Z over S Cargo – It’s a classic HS vs. VS match.  A shame because S Cargo is one of the few bots in this tournament that could take out that fag popup.

AntonYYYm over Precision Impact – I’m not sure about Precision Impact’s wedge, but if it can’t out-wedge AntonYYYm I don’t think its weapons will deal enough damage before it gets flipped out of the arena.

Bisector over The Telephone Effect – Okay so I was wrong about Reier’s Avatar 3 having an easy-to-hit top plate, but I’m sure that’s not the case with the Telephone Effect.  The question is can the Telephone Effect reach critical points in Bisector’s structure, like the chassis or weak extenders, before it gets dealt too much damage?

Blaze Line over Power Surge 3 – Another popup vs. rammer fight, but will PS3’s (lol @ acronym) flexible weaponry save it?

AtaxiA over Zombie Pirate Ninja – Metal hinge wedge vs. skirt hinge wedge, and AtaxiA’s wedge also out reaches its opponent’s.  Still though, I’m surprised that it managed to win a round.

Trance Hazard over Blabber-mouth – Trance Hazard has more weaponry, but Blabber-mouth still has a chance because of Trance Hazard’s vulnerable motors.

Minor Launch Platform MK 2 over Minifridge 4 – I don’t think Minfridge will be able to protect its chassis well when it’s havoking, though it might hit the top of MLP2.

Blood Orange over Kurt Rambis – A VS against a rammer, but after seeing Kurt Rambis’ last match I think I’m counting my chickens too soon.

Ice Tornado over Mutant Kabuto – Ice Tornado was built to outweapon flail shell spinners, and it clearly will do so in this next match.

Bot With MOVING Spikes over Elle Driver – I’m leaning toward BWMS as having the better wedge here, but the weapon position of Elle Driver might give it a hard time KOing it.

Death of Angels 2 over All or Nothing – Another unlucky draw for Redline, but I get a feeling AON will be able to cause some damage to DOA before it suffers too much damage itself.

N-Trench over Flux – Flux’s weapons are too brittle even if its opponent’s weapons have normals.  I’m not too sure about the stabilizing skirt on the front of N-Trench though.

Sawzal over Hredder 6.6 – Sawzal was able to take out TSOAN which had a similar wedge setup.  However, Hredder 6.6 is lower than TSOAN so it might have more trouble with this one.

[Pwnator]

Acronym lollages ahahahahahaha

If everything goes right, I'll have to face Nary in the match after this. Ruh-roh.

[Viper89]

I think predator is going to win that match. Bear claws all day .

[Badnik96]

MY DSI CANNOT DO SPOILERS SO DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU'VE WATCHED THE FIGHTS
I was scared that S Cargo was gonna beat TS and I would get raped but now I'm happy because now I get to rape XD if all goes right I'll at least be in the rumble :P

[Resetti's Replicas]

So apparently my next opponent was designed specifically to kill flail shell spinners.  How does that work?

[Pwnator]

Abundance of high-DP weapons. The flails will wear out after hitting on something that returns damage. In Ice Tornado's case, it has a lot of components that return damage at a high rate.

[Badnik96]

The weird thing was that when I tested Final Z against Ice Tornado, FZ managed to get its blade on top of it and grind away, winning by points every time.

[Pwnator]

That's because flail shell aren't made to go on top of opponents. FZ has a sloped design, so it kinda acts like Vela.

[The Ounce]

What Pwn said, and Ice Tornado is perfectly capable of beating Final Z.

[Badnik96]

Not when I tested it (with both of our bindings).

[The Ounce]

On my side things were a different story.  Ice Tornado was able to de-weapon Final Z and win by points in most of its matches.  I was using both of our bindings.

[Natef]

Trigger Happy - DoW.

This is a little late, but... what?

[Pwnator]

Depends on wedge.

[Natef]

I don't think I've ever heard that phrase before, until that time!

[JoeBlo]

Crap In a Bucket, I needed Reier to win that match, now I have to face Naryar and his cheaty armor 

[Wings]

Wow, I didn't think I would win.  My next match against 1.8 is a toss up for me really because unless I tear off its extenders or or gut rip its chassis, my weapons will be destroyed in the long run and I'll lose by points.  However, I hope I win, otherwise I probably going to have to fight Craig or Ounce's bot, and both will beat mine.

I'll admit that feel slightly honored to be one of Click's dark horses, particularly because I consider myself to be a builder of below average ability. 


So thanks for that Click and thanks the update.

[Badnik96]

Oh hey Wings!

IMO R0B0 had some bad luck there, I dunno if he can make his third final...

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Damn, I got Sawzal.

[Jonzu95]

Hah! I knew it! Blood Orange lost!

[Viper89]

Crap In a Bucket, I needed Reier to win that match, now I have to face Naryar and his cheaty armor 

Maybe I'm  not seeing something like everybody else, can some one explain how Nary's armor on his bot works?
