FINAL:



Infection 4 vs. Death of Angels 2
Two popups.  One has only been defeated once in a 2-1 victory--all its other matches were 3-0.  The other has shattered almost every BBEANS record in its meteoric rise up the loser's bracket--but has also been defeated more times.  One is fast and wide, the other is less fast and narrow.  And one of them has a better wedge.  But as with all good popup battles, just because one bot easily gets under the other early on, doesn't necessarily guarantee that bot the win.

Death of Angels wins the first match 3-0 with 3 KO's.  It easily slides under Infection and doesn't give Pwnator any chance to strike back.  But because Infection 4 has only lost once at this point, it gets another chance in the "loser's bracket"...
But Death of Angels wins the second match 2-1 with 1 KO and 1 TKO; Infection 4 gets 1 KO.  The first round goes like the other three.  But in the second round, Infection manages to slide over DoA and turn around quickly enough to flank it.  Then Infection pins DoA against the wall, hitting it whenever it gets in range of the weapons, until DoA is KO'd.  Even though DoA has four wins at this point, if Infection can win 2-1 in this last match, it can still be champion.  It looks like Infection might pull it off at first, as it nearly flanks DoA again several times in the last round, but it can't quite do it and DoA ends up flipping Infection on top of the wall.  When Infection tries to self-right, it flips itself over and OOTA.


(Don't tell nobody, I switched around the last two rounds in order to make it more exciting.  It actually happened that DoA won the first 5 rounds and Infection just got a spite kill at the end.  But I figure it's the finals, a little artificial suspense never hurt anybody.)

REMATCH: Death of Angels 2 vs. Resentful Princess 2 ***
It's like something out of a movie script.  Early in the tournament, Resentful Princess crushed Death of Angels' hopes of conquering the winner's bracket, sending it down to the loser's bracket in round 2.  The chances of Death of Angels making it into the finals from that far down the loser's bracket were exceedingly slim--it seemed that Sage was out of the running for Champion.  But against all odds, Death of Angels has defeated opponent after opponent and made it all the way up to the semifinals, where it will once again clash with its archnemesis--but this time with a record-breaking 25 KO's to its name, and more importantly, a slight adjustment to its smart zone that might allow it to get in more hits.  It's going to be another close match to decide who is going on to the final with Infection 4.

Death of Angels 2 wins 2-1 with 1 KO and 1 TKO; Resentful Princess 2 gets 1 KO.  The first round is over quickly as DoA flips Princess just high enough to land on top of the wall, after which Princess slowly drifts over the wrong side and lands OOTA.  The second round gets a little tense when DoA accidentally flips itself upside-down and Princess starts grinding at its underside while it self-rights, but DoA recovers quickly enough to avoid any major damage and proceeds to KO Princess.  In the third round, DoA has trouble getting Princess far enough up its wedge to hit it, much as it did back in round 2.  It isn't long before one of DoA's front armor panels breaks, which leaves the chassis wide open to Princess' flails, and then it isn't long before DoA is destroyed.

Resentful Princess 2 vs. Infection 4 ***
With two popups already having fallen victim to Resentful Princess, Infection 4 definitely has cause for concern here.  But it's also the fastest and the widest popup, so if any bot is going to beat the Princess, it's Infection.  Whoever wins this fight is going on to the grand final, there to become either champion or runner-up.  With the stakes so high, both bots will have to be at their best if they hope to advance.

Infection 4 wins 3-0 with 3 KO's.  Resentful Princess didn't stand much of a chance here.  It did all right in the first round, depleting a good chunk of HP from Infection's chassis, and then getting flipped upside-down after it was one hit away from death (which is actually helpful, as the top of the shell then acts as bottom armor).  But Resentful Princess barely scratched Infection in the last two rounds, and Infection has no trouble getting KO's on the exposed chassis underneath.

Missile Test vs. Death of Angels 2 ***
This is the first wedge Missile Test has run into, so how good its own wedge is is completely unknown.  That's got to make Sage a little nervous.  But even if Missile Test's wedge is unbeatable, Death of Angels still has the edge in speed, so it can try flanking Missile Test.  Jonzu better hope his wedge is very good and he can keep it pointed straight at Death of Angels, or else Missile Test will be tossed around like a beach ball.

Death of Angels 2 wins 3-0 with 3 KO's.  Looks like Missile Test's wedge isn't good enough.  In the first round, DoA flips Missile Test over the center wall and into the blade, which takes a big chunk out of its health.  Then, one hit away from death and both drive motors smoking, Missile Test is easily finished off by DoA.  The second and third rounds are more conventional victories: DoA gets under, hits Missile Test a few times, and then KO's it.

Final Z vs. Missile Test ****
This is the first time Final Z has had to fight a popup out of 9 total fights, if you can believe it.  And the battle is INTENSE.  Final Z's design has one more important advantage over most shell spinners that I haven't noticed until now: that chassis is a very small target.  With Popup AI, that means Missile Test could waste a lot of time trying to line up a chassis shot while Final Z freely flails away at it, and even after the no-chassis time expires, Missile Test risks breaking all its weapons by firing too early.  It's tough for Missile Test to strike a balance between being too careful or too reckless.  But if it manages to fire at just the right time, the results could be disastrous for Final Z.

Missile Test wins 2-1 with 1 KO and 1 Havok forfeit; Final Z gets 1 TKO.  The first round is the closest, as Missile Test takes the most damage sitting around doing nothing while it waits to get a shot at Final Z's chassis.  This causes Missile Test's front armor to break, but the battle is still just getting started.  Final Z starts gyro-dancing, giving Missile Test a perfect opportunity to hit the chassis, which it does, bringing Final Z one hit away from death.  But the last hit doesn't reach the chassis; instead, Missile Test's two remaining razors break off as they pass through Final Z's weapon.  Then the flipper activates and flips both bots upside-down.  Final Z is invertible, of course, but Missile Test can't self-right without its razors.  Final Z brings Missile Test one hit away from death (so both bots are in the red zone) before the immobility countdown starts and Missile Test is counted out.  The secound round starts with Missile Test destroying Final Z's Magmotor and then taking off all those plastic extenders, but with the vast majority of its weight gone, Final Z promptly vanishes in a puff of Havok, giving it another chance.  The restarted round 2 goes even worse for Final Z, though--Missile Test one-hit KO's it as soon as it gets a shot at the chassis (which takes less than 10 seconds).  Missile Test has some initial trouble getting good hits in round 3, creating a lot of suspense, but as soon as Final Z loses a drive motor, everything goes downhill.  The weapon motor soon follows, and then the extenders, causing another Havok explosion.

Death of Angels 2 vs. 1.8 ***
I think we all know what's bound to happen in this fight--especially after 1.8's last battle with Infection 4--so I'm not even going to bother about avoiding spoilers here.  However, I still won't say who wins, just to torment somestrangeguy with the tiny, irrational flicker of hope that perhaps a miracle will happen and 1.8 will win.  Because as long as you don't know the results, there's a little bit of hope, however much logic tells you that there's not.

Death of Angels 2 wins 3-0 with 3 KO's.  Pretty self-explanatory.  DoA gets under.  DoA fires weapons.  1.8 dies.  And that's the end of the last non-popup, non-flail HS.  I would have liked to see something other than a popup or a flail HS win, because both those designs are overused, overpowered, and questionably realistic, but 4-2 is already a very good run for a wedgeless rammer.

Final Z vs. AntonYYYm ****
Final Z may have some serious shortcomings when you compare it to a shell spinner like Stanley 2, but it actually may be a tougher opponent for AntonYYYm than any shell spinner.  For one thing, it's invertible, so AntonYYYm will have to stay on top of its game even when Final Z is flipped--lloop D lloop won't be able to rest easy until Final Z is safely OOTA.  And for another thing, Final Z's behavior in air is a lot more erratic than shell spinners.  Sheck spinners tend to stay level and fly sort of like a Frisbee when flipped, but Final Z sort of twists and flops all over the place, which may or may not make it easier to land outside the arena.  On the other hand, Final Z is a lot easier to scoop up and flip than any shell spinner.  You can bet that Final Z won't pull off a win without surviving several perilous flips first.  As you might expect, this is a very close match, and there's a ton of flipping action.

Final Z wins 2-1 with 2 KO's; AntonYYYm gets 1 TKO.  AntonYYYm easily throws Final Z OOTA in the first round, but things start to fall apart in round 2.  Final Z gets tossed repeatedly, a couple times almost to the ceiling, but its gyro-dancing makes it difficult for AntonYYYm to get it over the walls.  When Final Z is balanced on its rear (as it often is while gyro-dancing), it tends to fly straight up rather than forward when flipped.  Eventually, AntonYYYm's flippers take one too many hits and it loses its weapon, at which point it is nothing more than fodder for Final Z.  AntonYYYm almost gets Final Z OOTA at the start of round 3 (Final Z hits the top of the wall, but falls back in the arena), but after that it is very reminiscent of round 2.  Lots of flips with big vertical distance, but not enough horizontal distance to get a win.

Bane X vs. Death of Angels 2 ***
Death of Angels very nearly beat Resentful Princess 2 early in the tournament, and that was with a less-than-optimal smartzone placement.  Statistically, Bane X is tougher than RP2, so Sage had better hope that a slight smartzone adjustment gives DoA a big advantage.  Either that, or perhaps Havok will come into play as it did in Bane's fight with Missile Test.  There's some good damage as well as, surprisingly, some good flips in this fight.

Death of Angels 2 wins 3-0 with 1 KO, 1 TKO, and 1 Havok forfeit.  In the first round, DoA flips Bane just high enough to get over the arena wall.  Bane balances on the top of the wall for a surprising length of time, but eventually drifts over the (wrong) side.  DoA flips Bane OOTA again in the second round, but this is probably because Bane was Havoking at the time, and the match is restarted.  Then DoA gets a good old-fashioned KO on Bane.  Bane does Havok upside-down, but I don't count it as affecting the match because it takes very little damage while it is upside-down, and DoA scores the KO after it flips Bane upright again.  In round 3, Bane Havoks and lands smack on top of DoA's weapon.  The result is a near-one-hit-KO that puts Bane over the center wall and onto the blade.  Bane is basically crippled at this point, so I count it as a Havok forfeiture when DoA finishes off Bane.  Also, it's amusing to note that Bane's chassis is about twice as tall as normal by the end of round 3.

Final Z vs. Predator ***
Predator has theoretically better weapons than Final Z... but they also have normals.  And JoeBlo originally meant to enter a different version of Predator.  Which means Final Z has a good chance of out-weaponing Predator, but it also has that exposed rear that Predator could hit if it isn't careful.  The only thing that's clear here is that a lot of parts are going to fly.

Final Z wins 3-0 with 3 KO's.  It easily outweapons Predator, and Predator is too slow to hit Final Z's rear any more than a few times.  Final Z reduces Predator down to a pusher, at which point Predator is quickly KO'd.

REMATCH: AntonYYYm vs. Stanley 2 ****
AntonYYYm has crawled far up the loser's bracket in order to get another shot at Stanley 2.  Stanley 2 won 3-0 the last time these bots clashed, but I think AntonYYYm was rather unlucky in that fight and it should have been closer.  And it seems I was right; this fight IS closer.  The only question is, can AntonYYYm bring it close enough to reverse the previous results?

AntonYYYm wins 2-1 with 2 TKO's; Stanley 2 gets 1 KO.  AntonYYYm does a lot of sloppy driving in the first round as it tries (unsuccessfully) to get under Stanley, and it looks like Stanley will soon win, but then AntonYYYm finally manages to flip Stanley.  One more flip gets it OOTA.  The second round is a cleaner win for AntonYYYm; it takes two flips to get Stanley upside-down and two more to get it OOTA, and meanwhile Stanley can't do a thing.  In the third round AntonYYYm misses its one chance at a flip before Stanley takes off one of the flippers.  From there, AntonYYYm falls apart very quickly and Stanley gets a nice spite KO.

Minifridge 4 vs. Bane X ***
Let's see here... Bane X has 1.5 times as many weapons as Minifridge, and it is much more stable.  The only thing that MIGHT help Minifridge win here is its relatively fast melty brain movement.  Maybe it can push Bane into some hazards, you never know.  Bane is all but sessile, so in theory it shouldn't be too hard.

Bane X wins 3-0 with 2 TKO's and 1 WBP.  In the first round, Minifridge loses all its weapons, does a small Havok onto its side, rolls around for a bit and eventually gets stuck on one of its axles and immobilized.  (I debated whether or not this should be a Havok restart, but decided not to because Minifridge had almost no chance of winning at that point anyway, it was already unbalanced and could have done a Mauler dance anyway, and it was still mobile after the Havok until Bane took off another axle.)  In the second round, Minifridge loses all its weapons, does a small Havok onto its side, rolls around for a bit and eventually gets flipped OOTA by the flipper.  (This also isn't a Havok restart for the same reasons.  Looking back on it now I'm starting to have second thoughts, but too late to change it now... plus no way was Minifridge going to win that.)  In the third round, Minifridge loses all its weapons and most of its shell, then spends a lot of time tumbling around the arena until time runs out, at which point Bane wins by points.

Death of Angels 2 vs. ReActive ***
ReActive specializes in slow kills, which is not the best strategy to take with fast popups.  One slip that lets Death of Angels escape could undo all of ReActive's work up to that point.  If ReActive's wedge is good enough though, and it can keep DoA out from under it, it has a chance.  DoA has yet to be out-wedged though.  And this fight is really hard to avoid spoiling... in fact, it will almost certainly be spoiled as soon as you click on it and you see how big the file is.

Death of Angels 2 wins 3-0 with 3 KO's.  DoA out-wedges ReActive with little trouble, so ReActive doesn't even get a chance to try to win.  It quickly succumbs to DoA's popup spikes.  And thus the last original bot leaves this tournament, along with the #1 seed... 'tis a shame, though I'm interested to see how far DoA can climb out of the loser's bracket.

Resentful Princess 2 vs. Missile Test ***
Missile Test has already beaten Bane X fairly easily, which many would say is the most dangerous shell spinner in the tournament, so it should be capable of beating Resentful Princess as well.  However, RP2 has a few things working in its favor.  It is more stable than Bane (in fact, it is the only shell spinner I have never seen Havok), and it uses melty brain AI.  Most of this fight involves both bots futilely trying to damage the other... but when things change, they change quickly.

Resentful Princess 2 wins 3-0 with 3 KO's.  Missile Test can occasionally get under RP2 and hit it, but it is unable to do enough damage fast enough to make a difference.  The repeated beatings RP2 gives that Ti sheet eventually prove too much, at which point RP2 makes short work of Missile Test's chassis.  It's worth noting that in round 2, Missile Test flips itself and has trouble self-righting because RP2 keeps hitting it.  It eventually self rights, but then RP2 KO's it anyway right through the front armor.  Seems Resentful Princess has some ninja skills...

1.8 vs. Infection 4 ***
1.8 has gone impressively far for a rammer... but much of that has to do with the fact that it hasn't run into any popups, and both shell spinners that it fought Havoked.  How well can it do against a popup?  I think we all know the answer to that, but don't underestimate somestrangeguy's bot either.  It's deadly if you let it hit you.

Infection 4 wins 3-0 with 3 KO's.  Not even a rammer good enough to make it to the quarterfinals is good enough to beat a popup, it seems.  Infection takes off 1.8's weak drive motors and then makes short work of the chassis in all fights.  1.8 does survive for a little while, but because Infection is nearly as fast as 1.8, 1.8 is unable to find room to ram.

Star Dust vs. Final Z ****
This one was a lot closer than I expected.  After the similar S Cargo was thoroughly destroyed by Final Z (its one KO was mainly by luck), I thought that Star Dust didn't stand a chance here.  However, for whatever reason (perhaps it's luck), Star Dust is repeatedly able to pick up Final Z and hit its vulnerable underside.  Final Z still has time on its side, though--it's not by luck alone that it's already beaten two excellent vertical spinners.  Any win by Star Dust will have to be done quickly.

Final Z wins 2-1 with 2 KO's; Star Dust gets 1 KO.  Final Z totally dominates the first round like I expected.  However, in the second round Star Dust flips Final Z and scores a KO before you even know what's happening.  In the third round, Star Dust flips Final Z again and almost KO's it, but somehow Final Z settles back on its wheels.  At that point, Star Dust is unable to flip it again and it turns into a repeat of round 1.

AntonYYYm vs. AtaxiA ***
If AtaxiA gets under AntonYYYm, it's pretty much over for lloop D lloop.  And if AntonYYYm gets under AtaxiA, it's... perhaps not over for R0B0.  If AntonYYYm can't flip AtaxiA OOTA quickly, AtaxiA can tear up AntonYYYm's flippers while it is upside-down.  That's a big IF there though--AntonYYYm has proven quite adept at getting bots OOTA.  And both bots have good wedges, so it's really hard to predict who wins this, and really hard to say much more without spoiling anything.

AntonYYYm wins 2-1 with 2 TKO's; AtaxiA gets 1 KO.  Looks like R0B0 isn't getting in that third BBEANS championship after all.  4-2 is still a pretty good run though, perhaps good enough for him to keep his #2 rank.  In round 1, AntonYYYm gets under AtaxiA, but it loses a flipper after trying to flip an inverted AtaxiA.  AtaxiA is flipped upright, and proceeds to get under AntonYYYm and KO it.  In the second and third rounds, AntonYYYm manages to flip AtaxiA OOTA straightaway without any messing around beforehand, giving AtaxiA no chance for a comeback.

Minifridge 4 vs. Deinonychus ***
Deinonychus pretty much has to rely on Havok to win here.  Minifridge outweapons it and Deinonychus is too slow to easily pick it up and gut-rip.  Fortunately for Wings, Minifridge is a very Havoky bot.  It's been reasonably stable for a while now, but how long can that last?  Yes, there is Havok in this match and yes, there is serious destruction as well.

Minifridge 4 wins 3-0 with 2 KO's and 1 TKO.  In the first and third rounds, Minifridge takes off Deinonychus' right drum and right wheel, then destroys the chassis.  The second round is a little different as Minifridge Havoks upside-down after taking off one of Deinonychus' wheels.  However, Deinonychus ends up being immobilized so it can't take advantage of the Havok.  Minifridge also throws itself OOTA in round 3 and uses up its free restart, but manages to avoid Havoking a second time.

Death of Angels 2 vs. Terrible Sight ***
Popup battle--may the best wedge win.  Naryar's controversial armor won't do any good here, but perhaps Terrible Sight's slightly faster drive will give it an edge over Death of Angels.  Or perhaps DoA's awesome skin (which is clearly ripped from some image on Deviant Art or something, but is at least custom, which is more than most other bots can say) will make Terrible Sight hesitant to fire its weapon for fear of ruining the paint job.  But more likely it will just come down to wedges.

Death of Angels 2 wins 3-0 with 3 KO's.  DoA has a better wedge and that's all there is to it.  Terrible Sight only takes a few hits before being KO'd, and is unable to find any opportunities to make a comeback.

ReActive vs. Resentful Princess 2 ***
ReActive is at a slight disadvantage in terms of pure weapon weight, so it must rely on its flipping ability to hit Resentful Princess' vulnerable bottom, or perhaps immobilize it.  Of all the shell spinners in this tournament, though, Resentful Princess seems to be the most stable, so it's not going to be easy--but it can be done.

Resentful Princess 2 wins 3-0 with 3 KO's.  ReActive is unable to flip Resentful Princess for the first two rounds, and Resentful Princess always ends up hitting ReActive's hex plates, disarming it even more quickly than would happen normally.  In the third round ReActive manages to flip RP onto its side and get a decent hit on the chassis, but RP quickly lands back on its wheels and ReActive is unable to repeat its feat.

Missile Test vs. Bane X ***
Missile Test has the most armor of any popup, and it's going to need every kg of it against Bane X, the most powerful shell spinner of all the shell spinners.  The steep incline of Missile Test's armor makes it difficult to slide under Bane and line up a good chassis hit, but if it can ram Bane hard enough, the incline can possibly cause Bane to become unstable and Havok.  This is a close match that might have gone either way.

Missile Test wins 2-1 with 2 Havok forfeits; Bane X gets 1 TKO.  Early on, it becomes clear that Missile Test is too slow and too steep to have any chance of getting under Bane.  However, if Bane hits Missile Test's wedge just right, it does a minor Havok which allows Missile Test to drive under and score a KO.  This happens in all fights except round 2, in which Missile Test somehow gets stuck on its side and counted out.  The Havoks in this fight were really hard to call--it doesn't look like Bane is Havoking at first glance, more like it is simply Mauler dancing.  However, a frame-by-frame inspection reveals that all of Bane's axles are popping out of their sockets and twisting the chassis, throwing the bot in a way it would not normally behave.  Since it's clear from when Bane isn't Havoking that Missile Test is too slow to get under it normally, the Havok explosions affect the outcome and Bane X forfeits.

1.8 vs. Stanley 2 ***
1.8 only barely squeaked by Minifridge 4 thanks to some fortuitous Havok explosions.  Now it must face a shell spinner that is not only more stable, but has more razors as well.  Relying on Havok seems a doubtful strategy, but perhaps Stanley has another weakness 1.8 can exploit--it only has four razors mounted low, while the other six are high.  If 1.8 can stay low enough to avoid being hit by those upper six razors, it might outweapon Stanley's lower half and be able to start working on the chassis.  And while Havok isn't as big of a deal as it was with Minifridge, it still plays a role...

1.8 wins 2-1 with 2 Havok forfeits; Stanley 2 gets 1 TKO.  Strangely reminiscent of Missile Test vs. Bane X.  1.8 does quite well in the first round, until some unfortunate wheel contact with the wall causes it to flip over right into Stanley's shell, losing a drive motor in the process.  From there it's a short road to immobility.  In the second round, 1.8 pops a wheelie as it drives into Stanley, causing it to become damaged enough to start on fire.  But it still manages to hold on to life, at least until one of Stanley's loose axles throws it OOTA, and the match is restarted.  Then Stanley Havoks upside-down and 1.8 quickly removes the carbon fiber extender on top, causing it to be immobilized.   In the last round, Stanley does a small Havok and it looks like it's going to be OK, but then 1.8 rams it mid-Havok and sends it tumbling over the fence.  Again all of these Havoks were hard to call; they look like ordinary shell spinner behavior at first, but a frame-by-frame inspection shows that it is indeed Havok affecting the match.

Predator vs. Infection 4 ***
Predator already beat Terrible Sight, which has theoretically impenetrable skirt hinge armor, so what chance does Infection 4 have with its aluminum armor?  Well for one thing, it's faster, and also wider and flatter.  Predator won't sweep Infection to the side as easily as it did to Terrible Sight.  However, if Infection has as hard a time actually KO'ing Predator as Terrible Sight did, Predator has a chance here to actually get KO's once Infection's front armor is gone (that's a big IF there though).

Infection 4 wins 3-0 with 2 KO's and 1 TKO.  The first round is over fast as Infection flips Predator into the air, then catches it on its still-upraised razors as it falls back down for a one hit KO.  In the second round, Infection takes off enough bear claws to cause Predator to Mauler dance, then flips it over the wall.  And in the third round Infection KO's Predator after much toying around.

Star Dust vs. What Sheck Spinner? ***
What Sheck Spinner has lucked out so far--it hasn't fought any bots that can hit its vulnerable 1mm plastic-armored chassis, except for Elle Driver, which was too wide to actually hit WSS with its drum.  But now it's got another, tougher vertical spinner... which also happens to be rather wide.  Both bots will struggle to hurt the other in this fight, until one of two critical events happens: Star Dust loses teeth and becomes unbalanced, or Star Dust manages to flip What Sheck Spinner.

Star Dust wins 3-0 with 3 KO's.  What Sheck Spinner does good at first, keeping out of reach of Star Dust's disc while slowly damaging its side supports, but since both bots have the same drive, eventually one of them will start to be counted out.  One of the bots will drive away, and then the two will collide again at high speed--high enough speed for Star Dust to get the necessary momentum to flip WSS.  At that point, Star Dust has an easy time destroying WSS's chassis.  In the third round, Star Dust actually loses teeth and becomes unbalanced, allowing WSS to knock off its weapon motor and then pin it against the wall.  However, since Star Dust is still capable of controlled movement, it gets a free restart, and WSS isn't able to repeat its performance.

Final Z vs. Power Surge *
Not as bad as Elle Driver vs. What Sheck Spinner?... but close.  Very close.  And as for Stanley 2 vs. Ice Tornado, that looks like the BBEANS5 final compared to this.  I mean, in one round, there's not a single component that breaks on either bot.  And in the other two, nothing happens until the last 20 seconds.  Needless to say, this match all comes down to points.

Final Z wins 3-0 with 3 WBP.  It just gets more points, that's all there is to it.  In the first round it breaks both of Power Surge's sledgehammers at the very end, and in the third it breaks one sledgehammer and a drive motor, and almost gets a KO due to a small driving mistake by Power Surge.  And that's everything that happens.

AntonYYYm vs. Guardian Angels ***
Guardian Angels has a good wedge, and although it's not very powerful, AntonYYYm's armor is so weak that any damage at all can be crippling.  It also has a surprising two wins under its metaphorical belt, including a victory over Minor Launch Platform MK2.  On the other hand, AntonYYYm is fast and its wedge is nothing to sneeze at either, and you can bet that if it gets to flip Guardian Angels, Guardian Angels will need some guardian angels of its own to keep it from going OOTA.  Expect a fast fight with, as always, some good flipping action.

AntonYYYm wins 3-0 with 3 TKO's.  Guardian Angels might actually have the better wedge, but it's hard to tell because AntonYYYm always finds a way to sneak around to the side or something.  Once AntonYYYm is under Guardian Angels, it's only a matter of time before the Angels return to the Heaven from whence they came.

AtaxiA vs. New Ruin ***
It's a rematch of the BBEANS5 final, only this time Firebeetle has an invertible horizontal spinner while R0B0SH4RK has a juggler.  Will R0B0 get his revenge, or will Firebeetle hold on to his crown?  Unfortunately this fight isn't as spectacularly close as Seism 13 vs. R4... but you know it's going to be good.

AtaxiA wins 3-0 with 3 KO's.  Again, New Ruin does OK as long as it's facing AtaxiA, but as soon as AtaxiA gets behind New Ruin, it tends to stay there until New Ruin is KO'd.  The best New Ruin does is break off half of AtaxiA's razors in round 3.

Minifridge 4 vs. Reier's Avatar 3 **
Reier's Avatar 3 didn't stand a chance against Stanley 2, but perhaps it will do better against Minifridge, which has less razors and none at floor level.  However, Minifridge still has two more razors than RA3, so expect a close battle full of broken razors and Havok explosions (however, since there was no way to determine which bot was responsible for any Havok explosions with axles from both bots everywhere, I just restarted and didn't include those fights in the video.)

Minifridge 4 wins 2-1 with 2 WBP; Reier's Avatar 3 gets 1 WBP.  Reier's Avatar 3 loses a wheel and Minifridge flips itself in round 1, so the bots pretty much don't come in contact for most of the match, and RA3 is ahead in points.  Minifridge gets a lucky hit on one of RA3's extenders in round 2, taking out a whole half of the bot in one fell swoop, then spending a lot of time upside down, and finally taking out the other half at the very end, but not in time for a KO.  RA3 loses all its razors in round 3, but again Minifridge flips itself and RA3 loses a wheel, so the bots have no more contact but this time it's Minifridge that is ahead in points.

Kurt Rambis vs. Deinonychus ***
Wedgy VS's typically pose a problem for rammers, but Deinonychus already lost to 1.8 (if only barely), and Kurt Rambis defeated Blood Orange and Your Final Moment, so with some good driving and a little luck, Kurt Rambis could very well continue its surprising winning streak.  This is another close fight (heck, only one of Kurt's battles WASN'T close).

Deinonychus wins 3-0 with 1 KO, 1 TKO, and 1 WBP.  In the first round Deinonychus loses all of its teeth, but Kurt is so beat up by that point that it can't ram Deinonychus hard enough or often enough to pull ahead in points.  In the second round Deinonychus loses most of its teeth, but Kurt loses both drive motors, and Deinonychus sits on top of Kurt's carcass like a triumphant gladiator while Kurt is counted out.  In the third round Deinonychus loses hardly any teeth and quickly KO's Kurt.

Death of Angels 2 vs. The Mini Warrior ***
The Mini Warrior actually has a better wedge than Infection 4; it just lost because Infection is faster and has a much wider wedge.  Might it do better against the slightly slower and narrower Death of Angels?  The Mini Warrior already has an unexpected two wins; how hard can a third one be?  And will I actually say anything about the fight, rather than posing rhetorical questions?  No, because anything I say will spoil it.

Death of Angels 2 wins 3-0 with 3 KO's.  There's no way to know if The Mini Warrior could have gotten under DoA, as DoA always hits TMW a little to the side, avoiding the wedge.  Then it's only a matter of time before DoA gets enough shots at TMW's chassis for a KO.

Flux vs. Terrible Sight ****
This fight is very much like Flux's last fight with Hredder 6.6.  Reminds me again of the BBEANS4 final, except this time Naryar has Enfilad3 and he's against Hazardous Contraption... it's like Naryar is fighting himself.  :confused:   Flux has an excellent wedge, but it's not powerful enough to fully capitalize on that, giving its popup opponents plenty of opportunities to make a comeback and creating a very intense back-and-forth battle.  Also, the arena hazards play a very pivotal role here; don't assume you know who wins until the announcer says "Great match!".

Terrible Sight wins 3-0 with 2 TKO's and 1 WBP.  Flux really gets royally screwed over by the flippers here.  It dominates the first round, taking off one of Terrible Sight's wheels and staying ahead in points, but then the flippers activate while the bots are sitting on them, and Flux gets stuck on its rear end, the one position from which it can't self right, and is counted out with 2 seconds left on the clock.  Flux struggles more in the second round, suffering a control board hit from Terrible Sight, but it is still far ahead in points when Terrible Sight pushes it onto the flipper, which sends Flux OOTA with about 30 seconds left.  Terrible Sight controls the third round, staying under Flux enough of the time to get ahead in points, although not long enough to get enough hits for a KO.

The Strike of a Ninja vs. Star Dust ***
There are a lot of clashes of weapon on weapon in this fight; both bots' weapons are perfectly positioned to hit the other.  Star Dust easily outweapons TSOAN, but it is also more crippled by instability when it loses teeth.  Either TSOAN is going to get under and take off Star Dust's motors and supports after both bots lose a few teeth, or TSOAN will lose all its teeth and Star Dust will chew it up from above.

Star Dust wins 3-0 with 3 KO's.  In the first two rounds, The Strike of a Ninja loses all its teeth and Star Dust proceeds to leisurely KO it.  In the third round, Star Dust simply cuts to the chase and KO's TSOAN without taking off all its teeth first.

Moving Violation vs. Final Z ***
Final Z sure has drawn a lot of vertical spinners so far.  Every one of those battles has been close, and this is no exception.  Final Z has more than enough power to tear Moving Violation limb from limb (or nut from bolt... whatever), but if Moving Violation hits it just right, it could start a fatal gyro dance for Final Z.  And no, Moving Violation's weak flipper segment doesn't come into play here--Final Z's weapon spins clockwise, into MV's disc rather than the motor.

Final Z wins 2-1 with 2 KO's; Moving Violation gets 1 KO.  It looks good for Moving Violation in the first round as it gets under Final Z and starts hitting those polycarbonate extenders, but somehow Final Z stabilizes again, traps Moving Violation between its wheel and Panic Attack skirt, and tears it up.  The second round is all Final Z as Moving Violation gets trapped again on the side of Final Z.  In the third round Moving Violation finally gets under Final Z and stays under, quickly scoring a KO as Final Z starts gyro-dancing.

AntonYYYm vs. Bisector ***
AntonYYYm is guaranteed to get several flips in here, as Bisector has no wedge, but getting Bisector OOTA is another story.  It's big and it's spread out, making it somewhat difficult to get the necessary leverage for a winning flip.  (That's not to say there's no good flips here though; in fact the fight is filled with them.)  Bisector has an even harder time landing a hit on AntonYYYm before getting flipped, but if it does land a hit, AntonYYYm isn't going to last long with 1mm plastic armor.

AntonYYYm wins 2-1 with 2 TKO's; Bisector gets 1 KO.  Bisector can't do anything in the first two rounds and it's only a matter of time before AntonYYYm gets it OOTA.  Bisector finally gets some hits in in the last round after AntonYYYm accidentally flips itself, then AntonYYYm recovers and flips Bisector around a bit more, but then flips itself again and Bisector is able to finish it off.  So I'm out now... but I don't mind seeing AntonYYYm advance further, as it's the best flipper in this tournament and one of the few non-popup bots capable of taking out shell spinners.  (So is Bisector, but whatever.)

Blaze Line vs. AtaxiA ****
It's a war of the wedges... whoever gets under the other bot here is going to win.  However, don't think that because one bot gets under the other, that it will stay under.  Astounding comebacks can and do happen here.  There's also a lot of debris flying, which is always cool.

AtaxiA wins 2-1 with 2 KO's; Blaze Line gets 1 TKO.  In the first round, AtaxiA gets under Blaze Line and chews up its wedges before moving on to the chassis for dessert.  The second round starts out the same way, but then an immobility warning causes Blaze Line to escape to the corner while AtaxiA sits still.  AtaxiA charges at the cornered Blaze Line, but amazingly, it bounces off Blaze Line's wedge, and even more amazingly, Blaze Line sneaks under it and flips it OOTA.  With half its wedge missing, no less.  The third round starts with AtaxiA bouncing off Blaze Line again and flipping itself, but as soon as Blaze Line attacks AtaxiA, AtaxiA recovers and starts winning again until a Havok explosion forces a restart.  In the final round AtaxiA gets under Blaze Line and stays under for another KO.

Trance Hazard vs. Minifridge 4 ***
Minifridge 4 outweapons Trance Hazard and can hit its vulnerable motors, so the only way for Trance Hazard to win is to rely on Havok explosions.  1.8 beat Minifridge this way, but Minifridge has been much more stable so far in the loser's bracket.  And... that's about all I can say without spoilers.

Minifridge 4 wins 3-0 with 2 TKO's and 1 WBP.  The first round is really boring as Minifridge leaves Trance Hazard with 1 wheel attached and nothing else, then decides to Havok itself upside-down and wait for time to run out.  Be glad I cut out the 90% of it where absolutely nothing happens.  The next two rounds are a bit more interesting as Minifridge rips off ALL of Trance Hazard's motors before Mauler dancing, causing Trance Hazard to be immobilized.

Kurt Rambis vs. Ice Tornado **
It's 116 kgs of weapons versus 80 kgs of weapons, with neither bot having any reliable way to get under the other or otherwise bypass the weapons, so the winner is pretty obvious.  However, that's failing to take the 2-minute time limit into account.  Ice Tornado won't have enough time to break all of Kurt Rambis' iron spikes, so the result will come down to points, which is a much closer battle than weapon weight.  Being able to hit something other than the opponent's weapons becomes of the utmost importance in this long and not very exciting, but very close battle.

Kurt Rambis wins 2-1 with 2 WBP; Ice Tornado gets 1 WBP.  In the first two rounds Kurt Rambis never gives Ice Tornado the chance to hit anything but the iron spikes, while Kurt is fast enough to get through Ice Tornado's thwacking arms and occasionally hit the wheels.  Those wheel hits, which don't give Ice Tornado any points, ultimately clinch the win for Kurt Rambis.  It's hard to be certain, but the skirt hinges might have helped Kurt too.  In the third round, Ice Tornado gets a lucky hit on one of Kurt's drive motors, causing it to drive crooked.  Kurt then becomes caught in a deadly cycle of not being able to hit Ice Tornado's wheels while Ice Tornado can graze Kurt's side, and Ice Tornado wins by a large point margin.

Bot With MOVING Spikes vs. Death of Angels 2 ***
It's another wedge battle, may the best wedge win.  Both bots get under the other at some point; it's only a question of who can get under the most and do the most damage.

Death of Angels 2 wins 3-0 with 2 KO's and 1 TKO.  The first two rounds are no contest as DoA easily KO's BWMS and then flips it OOTA.  In the third round, BWMS gets under DoA and gets in two hits before DoA half-gets under it.  The two bots stay in wedge-lock until they go in the blade.  Then DoA gets fully under BWMS and scores another KO.

Flux vs. Hredder 6.6 ****
Wow, this was a tight battle.  Reminds me a bit of the BBEANS4 final, and not just because one of the bots has a probably-not-coincidental resemblance to Hazardous Contraption.  There's parts breaking off, tons of hazard action, and more plot twists than a mystery novel.  There could stand to be a few more KO's... but it's still an excellent fight.

Flux wins 2-1 with 1 KO and 1 WBP; Hredder 6.6 gets 1 WBP.  Flux dominates the first round, only losing one of its titanium skirts just before landing the final hit on Hredder.  The second round is where things get interesting.  Hredder gets under Flux and gets a few hits, but then flips itself and it's Flux's turn to be the aggressor.  But even being juggled by Flux, Hredder isn't helpless; it breaks one of Flux's Ti skirts while upside down and also gets Flux's control board in the yellow.  After some arena flipper intervention, Hredder (with only half a wedge by this time) gets under Flux again (also with only half a wedge) and takes it on a tour of the arena hazards.  Hredder gets Flux's control board in the red, but is unable to get the KO before time runs out, although it still wins by points.  Flux gets under Hredder in the third round and stays under for most of the match.  Hredder eventually makes a comeback when Flux flips itself, but then some arena flipper intervention lets Flux get back under Hredder.  Then more flipper intervention sets Flux balanced on its rear, but there's not enough time left either for Flux to be immobilized, or for Hredder to pull ahead in points, so Flux wins by points.

ReActive vs. Power Surge ***
ReActive didn't have any trouble out-weaponing Sawzal and winning by points, but Power Surge carries a lot more kinetic energy and has more weapon weight.  It's also less stable.  ReActive will need to use a different strategy here--simply ramming Power Surge and hoping to knock off a hammer will likely result in Power Surge hitting ReActive's axles first.  Rather, it will need to rely on Power Surge's instability to keep it from getting up to speed and becoming dangerous.  This is an exciting battle with a lot of good hits--by far ReActive's most interesting battle so far.  There WILL be KO's.

ReActive wins 3-0 with 1 KO, 1 TKO, and 1 WBP.  In the first round, Power Surge becomes very unstable after hitting ReActive's spikes, and ReActive is able to drive under it and score a KO as Power Surge flops around.  In the second round, Power Surge hits ReActive's spikes and flings itself OOTA for a very fast TKO.  The third round goes much like the first, and ReActive gets Power Surge's control board in the yellow, but then a small Havok flips it over and ReActive spends the rest of the match upside-down.  Power Surge breaks off one of ReActive's axles holding on the spikes at the very end, but it's too late and ReActive wins by points.

Resentful Princess 2 vs. What Sheck Spinner? ***
In case you can't tell by the name, What Sheck Spinner is designed to kill shell spinners.  Or at least outweapon them and win by points.  That being the case, I was impressed at how well Resentful Princess did here.  If you think shell spinners don't have a chance against H@zm47's bot just because it's named "What Sheck Spinner?", then think again.  It's a small chance, but still a chance.

Resentful Princess 2 wins 2-1 with 2 KO's; What Sheck Spinner? gets 1 WBP.  What Sheck Spinner?  THAT shell spinner!  Man, this was close.  WSS was winning for the entire first round, and Resentful Princess was down to just 2 iron spikes and no razors, but then with 5 seconds left on the clock, Resentful Princess took off WSS's right Firestorm flipper, exposing the chassis and giving Princess a last-second KO.  (Had WSS survived for just 5 more seconds, it would have beaten Princess 2-1.)  Resentful Princess breaks WSS's right Firestorm flipper again in round 2, but much sooner and while Princess still has some razors left, and WSS goes down easily.  WSS survives for the entire last round and wins by points, although Princess does break that Firestorm flipper again just as time runs out.  (A couple more seconds and Princess would have won 3-0.)

New Ruin vs. Missile Test ***
Missile Test has the edge here because that ridiculously strong front armor can sponge up hits from New Ruin's weapon, and it can hit New Ruin's vulnerable chassis.  But you can bet the reigning champion won't go down without a fight; if Missile Test gets caught on New Ruin's side skirt, New Ruin can hit around that armor plate.

Missile Test wins 3-0 with 3 KO's.  New Ruin can survive well enough as long as it can keep its weapon towards Missile Test, but as soon as Missile Test gets behind New Ruin it's all over.  New Ruin can't turn fast enough to prevent Missile Test from repeatedly hitting its chassis.

Guardian Angels vs. Bane X **
Looks like ANOTHER easy opponent for Urjak... or is it?  Guardian Angels has done surprisingly well so far; might it be on a razor guy run?  If this was a round 1 match, I would say Bane X wins for sure, but now I'm not willing to assume anything about Guardian Angels.

Bane X wins 3-0 with 1 KO and 2 Havok forfeits.  Nope, no razor guy run for you.  Bane X gets a fast KO in round 1, but after that it's not so fast.  Once everything is broken off the hinges on Guardian Angels, it's only a short time until it will explode (annoyingly freezing the game in the process), and Bane X isn't fast enough to get a KO before that happens.

Deinonychus vs. 1.8 ***
Another very close battle.  1.8, if it can survive long enough, can break off all of Deinonychus' teeth.  But if Deinonychus ever gets under 1.8, it can do a lot of damage--enough to score a KO very quickly, or at least break a drive motor.  The fight is slow-paced, but the epic closeness of it makes up for that.

1.8 wins 2-1 with 2 WBP; Deinonychus gets 1 KO.  1.8 rams Deinonychus repeatedly and backs off before it can be gut-ripped in the first round, eventually breaking Deinonychus' weapons and winning by points.  1.8 isn't so lucky in the second round, though.  Deinonychus gets under it and KO's it in two hits.  Things are looking really bad for 1.8 in the third round after Deinonychus hits its control board into the red, and then takes off a drive motor, but somehow 1.8 is able to keep its front pointing toward Deinonychus so that Deinonychus breaks its teeth on the razors.  Then all 1.8 has to do is avoid being counted out (which it does, in part thanks to the arena flipper activating just in time) to win by points.

Reier's Avatar 3 vs. Stanley 2 ***
Stanley 2 has 4 more razors than Reier's Avatar, but Reier's Avatar has that chewing action going on.  While shell spinners like to knock bots to the side and stay generally far away, Reier's Avatar likes to get up close and personal.  That means it's more likely to get lucky hits on axles and side panels.  Stanley still has an advantage, of course, but this fight will not be decided by number of razors alone.

Stanley 2 wins 3-0 with 2 KO's and 1 TKO.  In the first two rounds, Reier's Avatar crawls on top of Stanley and loses a few razors, which it can ill afford, and ends up losing because Stanley outweapons it.  But in the third round, Reier's Avatar gets several lucky hits on Stanley's vulnerable axles and actually gets it down to 2 razors while RA3 still has 1.  In fact, if RA3 didn't lose a wheel early in the match, it probably would have won this.  But instead, it drives onto the flipper while trying to get close to the highly unstable Stanley, is flipped into the blade, and then flung OOTA by the blade.

Terrible Sight vs. Predator ****
Yet ANOTHER epically (is that even a word?) close match.  I thought at first that Predator didn't stand a chance here... I mean, Terrible Sight has that invincible "narmor", and Predator has nothing protecting its bottom.  But... well you just have to see it.  It's worth it.  One fight is even decided in the last fraction of a second (eerily reminiscent of JoeBlo's fight against SandStorm in BBEANS5.)

Predator wins 2-1 with 1 TKO and 1 WBP; Terrible Sight gets 1 KO.  The fight goes pretty much as expected in round 1, with Terrible Sight getting a quick KO and sustaining no damage itself.  Round 2 is where it gets interesting.  Somehow, for some reason, Predator isn't able to damage Terrible Sight's chassis through the skirt hinges, but it IS able to hit Terrible Sight's razors.  Don't ask how that works; it seems to defy all laws of physics, real and RA2.  Terrible Sight also has a hard time keeping Predator on its wedge, allowing Predator to eventually outweapon it and turn Terrible Sight into a pusher.  Even so, Terrible Sight is ahead in points.  But then it accidentally gets flipped by the arena flipper as it tries to push Predator, giving Predator the chance to hit something other than the skirt hinges.  Predator takes off both wheels, but is still behind in points with 1 second left on the clock.  But then, at 0:00, it gets one last hit on Terrible Sight's wedges, pushing it a mere 84 points ahead of Terrible Sight and giving it the win.  In the third round, Terrible Sight takes off a wheel and several bear claws from Predator, but is unable to hit the chassis before losing its razors, although it's still far ahead in points.  Predator is unbalanced and turns into a top for the rest of the match.  It seems it will lose because it can't score many points, but then Terrible Sight flips itself as the remaining multi-extenders on the burst motor rupt.  It is unable to self-right and is counted out at 0:06.  If that's not the closest match ever, I don't know what is.  CAN ANYTHING STOP THESE SHELL SPINNERS DOMINATING THE WINNER'S BRACKET???

The Mini Warrior vs. Infection 4 ***
The Mini Warrior can actually get under Infection 4, and it can do some serious damage with that axe.  (Infection 4 isn't built to take hits.)  The problem is staying under, as Infection is much faster and can push The Mini Warrior around even in wedge-lock.  Still, if you were expecting a clean sweep by Infection, you'll be disappointed.  The Mini Warrior is tougher than it looks.

Infection 4 wins 3-0 with 3 KO's.  The first two rounds are in fact a clean sweep.  The Mini Warrior doesn't land a single hit on Infection.  But in the third round, The Mini Warrior gets under Infection long enough to get a few hits on the chassis, bringing it down to about half health.  But then Infection sneaks under The Mini Warrior and gets another KO.

Trance Hazard vs. Blabber-mouth ***
This is a tight, pitched battle that probably could have gone the other way with a bit of luck.  Trance Hazard is the better-built bot here, with faster drive, invertibility, and a more powerful weapon, but its external motors are a major weakness that can be exploited by Blabber-mouth's long drill.  Both bots end up inflicting a lot of damage on each other; in fact this is one of the more destructive matches I've seen.  The last round is especially entertaining.

Trance Hazard wins 3-0 with 2 KO's and 1 WBP.  In the first round, Trance Hazard loses both its drive motors but manages to KO Blabber-mouth as it flops around on its weapon.  In the second round, it only loses one drive motor while Blabber-mouth loses all its weapons, resulting in a drawn-out struggle just to hit the other bot.  Trance Hazard ends up winning with more points.  In the third round, Trance Hazard manages to keep all of its motors intact, and as a result is able to tear up Blabber-mouth something fierce before knocking it into the blade, which scores the final hit.

Minifridge 4 vs. Minor Launch Platform MK2 ***
In general, popups have the advantage against shell spinners (in fact, outside of specialized wedge-killers, they're good against pretty much everything).  As if Minifridge's Havok troubles weren't already enough for it to deal with.  There are two things that work in Minifridge's favor, however.  One, MLP MK2's weapon fires forward, making it slightly more difficult to hit the chassis.  And two, MLP MK2 only has two razors, which it can quickly lose if it fires its weapon at the wrong moment.  That is, if Minifridge can avoid Havoking out of control...

Minifridge 4 wins 3-0 with 3 KO's.  It is surprisingly stable throughout this battle--it seems it Havoks more against some bots than against others.  There is one Havok explosion in the second round, where Minifridge flies up and lands on top of MLP to KO it, which I deemed significant enough for a restart.  Otherwise, Minifridge only does little jumps.  Minor Launch Platform, meanwhile, has a really hard time getting far enough under Minifridge in order to hit the chassis--it has more of a tendency to pu

Let's start off some discussion on the bots, shall we?


Careful observers will note that I said I would be entering Bisector II, but the bot in the splash is the original Bisector.  This is because I was unable to AI Bisector II effectively.  Bisector I, while not as good of a bot, performs much better as AI.

Post by: S.T.C. on May 23, 2010, 09:26:40 PM

1.8 - One of the many I'm worried about, question is how long will the razors last.
4Head - The fact that its using plastic extenders makes me think that those weapons will come off easily.
Acornia 3 - Are astroflights good for a rammer (if that's what its using)?
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHhh COME ON!!! - Well, every tournament needs a SFTW...
All Or Nothing - Compact I see, I like it  :bigsmile:
AntonYYYm - Exposed weapon motors, that'll be its downfall.
AtaxiA - If the wedge is good enough, it'll last long in the tourney, but I honestly can't seem to see it winning. Also, it uses Slimbodies for drive?
Bane X - I admire a well made LW shell spinner, cause I can't make a decent one at all. Flails I see, seems like it'll go far.
Biridium - Seems like it needs more razors, fast though so that might (just might) give it an edge.
Bisector Umm, how does it work?
Blabber-mouth - Big chassis, I can see the drive motors coming off and the bot flipped over and out.
Blaze Line Not one of my best bots honestly, Ihope the wedge works well, but I don't think so, also if this thing gets flipped its gonna be a problem for it to right itself.
Blood Orange - Looks fierce, but the weapon motor coming off will be its downfall.
Bot with MOVING Spikes - If the wedge is good, it'll do just fine, but I have a feeling its not gonna do that good.
Bot with spinny thingy - Soo many original names in this tourney =/ Anyways, looks like another SFTW.
Claw Cube 3 - wat?
Come Get Some! - It ain't no ITIV, flail vlad spikes? Who knows, might pull off another razor guy run.
Conficker - I hate that virus =/ Looks cool but its not the best really, but the hammer heads on the front (or w/e they're called) can help the bot last long during a fight..
Death of Angels 2 - Looks like a better version of Blaze Line, I like it alot, another bot I'm worried about.
Deinonychus - Wheels might come off real easily.
Elle Driver - A stable drum bot, looks solid and well made, if the stabilizers don't come off, it'll make it far.
Final Z - More flail razors, well seems like it can cause some great deal of damage, let's see how it fairs in the arena.
Flux - Again, depends on the wedge, I see this getting flipped over though.
Guardian Angels - I see the weapons coming off fast.
Hredder 6.6 - DoW (depends on wedge), I like it though, I think it'll fair well.
Ice Tornado - Chassis is well defended, not bad not bad at all...
Infection 4 - DoW but I've seen Pwn's bots and this one looks like it might win the whole thing, but like I said, DoW.
kill box - Slimbodies for drive? And why do I feel like it has DSA for amor? =/
Killer Green Yoshi - Is the weapon fast? Still, I see this getting beaten up by a popup, and almost every other bot type.
Kurt Rambis - Looks cool, but as soon as that bar comes off, its useless.
Lil' Eager V2 - I like what it did whith the wheels, but I see this losing fast.
Meteorite - I doubt its invertible, please prove me wrong =/
Minifridge 4 - Another solid-looking bot, nice job G.K.

Missile Test - Jonzu says the wedge is good, it may be, but lets see how it does.
Moving Violation - I like it, might go far.
Mutant Kabuto - Good, but not the best.
New Ruin - 6 irons, very worried about this one, but if this gets flipped its out.
N-Trench - And weapon doesn't work inverted? =/
Power Surge - I never did like SnS =P
Power Surge 3 - Another power surge? wow lol, not the best here.
Precision Impact - Again, solid bot, but exposed piglets...
Predator - Ronin flags were a good touch JB!  :bigsmile:
Primal Instincts X - I see the drive coming off very early in its fight.
Psychoblade - And the teeth are on the wrong way why?
ReActivate - I see this going far, but not winning honestly.
Reier's Avatar 3 - Name win, exposed motors...uhh..idk, flail razors MIGHT be a good defense though.
Resentful Princess 2 - Again, good but not the best. I like it though.
Sawzal - I can't help but see the drive come off first.
Shish-Kebab 2 - What's the beater bar for?
Stanley 2 - Flail razors..great.
Star Dust - Not bad, another bot that might win.
Terrible Sight - I don't know what to say about this one really.
That Spike Thing... - I don't think Typhoon spikes are that good.
The Mini Warrior - Yeah...
The Strike of a Ninja - DoW.
The Telephone Effect - I like it, but I can see it getting out-weaponed fast.
Tomcat II - Seems like its just gonna get pushed around alot.
Trance Hazard - Looks like a bot I made called The Plauge, but with a better weapon, A popup might rip it off easily though.
Trigger Happy - DoW.
What Sheck Spinner - Looks like any shell spinner's nightmare in my opinion.
Your Final Moment - Big wheels, either it loses them or it ends up on its side.
Zombie Pirate Ninja - Another SFTW-type bot.
Mass Oppression - Cool, it migh deal alot of damage.
Mr. Punch - A poker, might go out really fast.
S Cargo - I see it taking the final spot.
Shilka - Not bad, nice weapons but it won't win the wildcard fight.

Predator - Ronin flags were a good touch JB!  :bigsmile:

they weight a bit more weight then shoving a carbon extender there but the collision for them helps with self-righting similar to the pole on Megabyte

I went for the all rounder approach.. it has wedges but enough weapons to take on other shell spinners

It gets under ever LW in Nar AI.

Note 2: What happened to my skin!!!!  :eek: Its all messed up and stuff kinda like ItI's

I assumed you were aware of that.  Are you sure the skin is a square, and the dimensions are 256x256, 512x512, or 1024x1024?


Since it's only a skin, I'll accept an update from you if you can figure out how to fix it.  So the bot looks good in the videos.

Post by: The Ounce on May 23, 2010, 10:52:51 PM

Thankfully there's not as many cheap true popups as I had thought, but seeing a few of the flail spinners with loads of razors worries me, even if my entry was built to counter them.

Click warned me but I did it anyway :P:

Write-ups (apparently some bug caused the whole thing to appear bold, sorry):

1.8: Well-built apart from the DSL bars that aren't even doing much as armor.  Let me guess, it's called 1.8 because of the chassis?
4head: Head On: apply directly to this bot.  I don't see it getting far with normal weapons, but 100kgs is still a lot of weaponry on a LW, and it's still well-built other than that.
Acornia 3: Kinda like Enturon meets Stiletto, not like it's a bad thing, but I bet FOTEPX could have put more weapons on this.
AH COME ON!!!: I don't get it.
All or Nothing: To me it's like a cross between Skeleton Warrior and Lightning Assassin (again not like it's a bad thing).  Very well-built, but I still prefer hammerheads on rammers.
AntonYYYm: I haven't seen any successful LW flippers, but from what I've found, mounting flippers' weapon motors higher increases flipping power, and it also has a faster drive.  Could this one go far?
AtaxiA: I wonder if this one is better than my LW juggler.  It looks better, but also unrealistic: R0B0 should have placed the skirt hinge lower.
Bane X: Possibly the deadliest non-true-popup in this tourney.  It should go far.
Biridium: Looks fast but lacks weaponry.
Bisector: I still think it should have used a sai, but if that weapon can still deal a lot of damage to the tops of robots, then the shell spinners have something to beware of.
Blabber-mouth: Way too much weight used on the chassis, but if it can keep itself underneath its opponent then maybe it can score a win or two.
Blaze Line: While I dislike the bot type I'm not as afraid of this one, mainly because my entry tends to repel these types of wedges by snagging onto the skirts.  The bot itself could have used lighter extender work and the CB sticking out of the top ruins the paint job.
Blood Orange: Not too bad but the exposed weapon motor worries me.
Bot With MOVING Spikes: I question the use of dual wedges and a chassis wedge, but it's good other than that.
Bot With Spinny Thingy: The wedge is pointless, and it should have used sais.
Claw Cube 3: The only side-hammer in the tournament but it could have been built better, namely front protection and more weapons if possible.
Come Get Some!: Unlike AoR's last entry I doubt this one can pull of a Razor Guy run, and again it should have used sais, but it looks okay.
Conficker: Has A LOT of weaponry, but it's still going to get owned by the number of wedges in this tournament.
Death of Angels 2: I'm disappointed Sage: you could have entered an awesome looking drum but you decided to enter something else.  Still looks well-built.
Deinonychus: the drums are too far apart, and it should have used Vlads, but just maybe it could get underneath one of its opponents and get a win.
Elle Driver: better than the last drum, but it looks too slow to do its wedge any good.
Final Z: It is a clone yes, but criticizing a bot's originality is an excuse to troll.  The wider drive stance makes it slightly better than Resonance HS, but it's still slower than it.  I wonder if it's stable enough.
Flux: Hooray for Mini-Hazcon!  However it looks like it needs more weaponry.
Guardian Angels: I think it has too much weight invested in the wedge for its own good, but if it can KO its opponents fast enough then it's OK.
Hredder 6.6: S_M I'm disappointed that you didn't include my avatar on the skin, but it still fights well.
Ice Tornado: After some testing I'm hoping to get the Best Rookie award, because it's not getting past the bots with angled skirt wedges and the bots that can break off more than half of its weaponry (that is the high-concussion weapons and the spinners with more than 8 flail razors).  I shouldn't have put it on the bot exchange.  :(
Infection 4: Pwnator I officially hate you.  I just hope it's too fast for its own good.
Kill Box: not too bad for someone who hasn't been on the forums, but can it trap well enough?
Killer Green Yoshi: Looks more like a koopa honestly :P.  Since it seems a lot like The Ugly, its strengths and weaknesses will apply here.
Kurt Rambis: A skinnier version of NAR AI's Raving MAD with the same weapons and then some.  The drive setup could have been better though, namely TWM3s and lighter extender work.
Lil' Eager V2: I don't know if the wheel guards are protecting much, and I don't know if the weapon has enough reach.
Meteorite: I've never built a successful wammer before but I don't know if that's enough weaponry for one.  At least it's faster than some.
Minifridge 4: Basically the type of bot that I thought I would be facing in this tournament.  It could pull off a few wins.
Minor Launch Platform MK2:  High-HP armor and it looks to have a good wedge.  It looks like it could go far.
Missile Test: I was not intimidated by Jonzu when he showcased this, and further testing against Ice Tornado proves that I shouldn't have been.  It still has a lot of armor though so it could last against one of the shell spinners.
Moving Violation: It looks like Kill343 can still build well, but I'm still not liking the look of that flipper segment holding the motor.
Mutant Kabuto: Not enough weaponry even if they're on axles, but the panels should still protect it from non-wedges.
New Ruin: Does the asymmetrical stabilizer setup help it in any way?  Not bad for the defending champ.
N-Trench: If it had used razor tips or Lightning spikes then the weaponry would have been very powerful.
Power Surge: NPCs and Vlads or Hypnos would have been better as well as DSL bars instead of those flipper segments, but it's still a SnS.
Power Surge 3: Two Power Surges?!  An emulation of Mike's axle rammer, but really should have used more weapons instead of wasting weight on armor that's not really protecting much.
Precision Impact: I like the use of a ripping tooth as a stopper, but I don't know if it does enough damage.
Predator: I wonder what's the advantage of using bear claws, and if the wedge helps or not, but it looks good enough.
Primal Instincts X: I was more scared of the first one honestly, but if this one can land a few good hits on a bot's top then it can prove deadly.
Psychoblade: I'm not too convinced by the wedge, but the weapon looks deadly, though it still should have used non-normal weapons.
ReActive: One of the most original bots in the tourney; I just wonder if it's as much of a threat to wedges as it is to the shell spinners.
Reier's Avatar 3: Better than the last version I saw, but I don't like the use of carbon fiber extenders, then again it was probably unavoidable if RR wanted to maintain realism.
Resentful Princess 2: Another deadly shell spinner, unfortunately there are deadlier ones in this tourney.
Sawzal: Now can this one perform as well as Face Gasher?  I'm worried it might not have enough reach.
Shish-Kebab 2: Not as good as antonYYYm, but probably the wedgier of the two.
Stanley 2: Second deadliest shell spinner, beaten by just two weapons.  It should go far.
Star Dust: Too bad it's outdated, but still a very deadly VS.
Terrible Sight: Fitting name; I'm honestly disgusted by this.  Not only does it have cheap weaponry but cheaty armor as well.  I expected better from Naryar.
That Spike Thing...:  It doesn't have enough reach and no srimech extender.  Sorry TX, but this won't go very far.
The Mini Warrior: You would think that Eggman249 would have learned something from the previous BBEANS, but it doesn't look like it from this.  At least is has a lot of front armor.
The Strike of a Ninja: Non-angled skirts make me happy, but still it looks like a very deadly TS.
The Telephone Effect: It has a lot of armor, but I don't know how well that wedge will do.
Tomcat II: It doesn't look too bad, unfortunately the weird collision mesh of the skirt hinge will ruin the wedge.
Trance Hazard: Exposed weapon motors will be its downfall, and I'm not a fan of sacrificing weaponry over speed on HSs.
Trigger Happy: The strong Firestorm plate will keep it well-protected, but the skirt wedge won't do as well against some of the other wedges out there.  Overall, it’s a big improvement over last BBEANS for Nate (obvious).
What Sheck Spinner?: I don't know why the disc is so far back like that, but like the name suggests it should be able to take out a few of the shell spinners.
Your Final Moment: Really it doesn't have enough weaponry, and I don't think it's safe for the armor to hold the weapons.
Zombie Pirate Ninja: The weapons are decent, but I'm not a fan of overly huge chassis, and another skirt hinge wedge.
Mass Oppression: Not too bad, probably better than Kill's entry, but looks slower.
Mr. Punch: Kinda like Biridium, but looks slower.
S Cargo: Not much has changed from the last one, but it's still pretty deadly.
Shilka: Same design as AtaxiA, but faster, less weapons, and a worse wedge.

Wildcard winner:  S Cargo.

Predator: I wonder what's the advantage of using bear claws, and if the wedge helps or not, but it looks good

more Piercing and Concussion then an Iron Spike
more HP then a razor

the only real draw back is normals but in testing it roughly lost 1 claw to every 2 flail razors on a shell spinner

10 on Stanley = 5/8 left on Predator
12 on Bane = 6/8 left on Predator

not saying its dominant but should hold its own..

Due to the arena, it won't be able to reach its top speed. But don't worry, you have a slight advantage over I4 when I was testing it (mostly because I can't reach my top speed due to the arena). :P

@ Ounce:
As I explained to clickbeetle, the "really cool" drum bot doesn't function. the Trov glitch chassis causes instability in the arena, leading to havok and other things that makes it not effective. Don't be dissapointed... unless you were trying to get an easy win outta me :)

I don't remember reading about that.  I see now.

@JoeBlo: Interesting, it's like when SSG chose those weapons on his CC3 entry, except his were in fewer quantity and not on flails, so not as good as yours.

Lots of nice entries here. I think I'll make some comments about the Sheck Spinners:

Bane X: My entry. Outweapons the other Sheck Spinners (or at least the ones utilizing razors), though I am worried it might be destroyed by one of the many popups.

Minifridge 4: I question the position of the razors. Seems like it would leave the bot more vulnerable to wedges. Overall a well built Sheck Spinner, should go far.

Mutant Kabuto: Very unsure about this entry. Looks like it will be easily outweaponed by most of the spinners and rammers. I give it points for originality though.

Predator: I like this design. Never tried bear claws as weapons on a shell spinner. Judging by what Joe said, it should give the razor Sheck Spinners a serious run for their money.

Resentful Princess 2: Irons just don't seem to work out very well on Sheck Spinners. May be outweaponed by the other spinners, though should fair decently.

Stanley 2: One of the best built Sheck Spinners. Packs a lot of weapons as well as some decent drive. Has a good chance of making it far.

That Spike Thing: Unfortunately, I don't see this entry going far at all. Vulnerable panels, brittle weapons, and ease of overturning will spell doom for this entry.

Well, there you go.

PREDICTIONS TIME!

1.8 - It doesn't looks bad, but meh. I hope these are normal NPCs... also the DSL bars aren't doing much
4 Head - Normals are evil !
Acornia 3 - A pretty decent bot that still should have been faster :P
AAAAAH COME ON ! - Failure of a wammer. Not fast enough. Not enough weapons. Nuff said.
All Or Nothing - It actually looks a lot like my unshowcased Stiletto... Similar to 1.8 but probably better extender-wise. As all the rammers it really depends of the opponent.
AntonYYYm - No LW flipper is able to flip a bot OOTA with 2 BSGs.
AtaxiA - It might rape rammers and some of HS, but it's going to get trashed by the first shell spinner it enconters.
Bane X - The best of the shell spinners but still GHEY
Biridium - Yet another rammer with the same design as the previous ones, and it looks decent enough.
Biesector - How this will fare will entirely depend of the opponent.
Blabbermouth - Is that even invertible ? Don't see it fairing well because of average speed and weapon.
Blaze Line - A decent popup. Can this beat the shell spinners ?
Blood Orange - A VS that suffers gratly from a 400 HP exposed motor.
Bot with MOVING spikes - The wedge setup is quite good, and in overall a relatively nice setup (Slimbody drive prevents him to be good though). Can this out-wedge me ?
Bot with spiny thingy - Apart from the name, it's not too bad... i really don't like Vlad spikes on spinners though, and it will be fodder to shell spinners and popups.
Claw Cube 3 - I know for a fact Stagfish can build decently, but LW side hammers = "meh"
Come Get Some - OK, it's not too bad, but still Vlad spikes on SnS = :fail:
Conficker - It's not badly built, but overkill on weapons and slow drive will be that bot's downfall.
Death Of Angels - Emo name and skin anyone ? It's quite good and looks like it has good wedges. It probably has Mag drive, so can fair well (still NPC fasts are better :P)
Deinonychus - It might have a good wedge, but is neither fast enough neither weaponed enough to take on the bigger competitors.
Elle Driver - See Deinonychus
Final Z - GHEY
Flux - Skirt hinge wedge will probably be it's downfall.
Guardian Angels - The weapon is quite fail honestly... the wedges might be good however.
Hredder 6.6 - A near clone of an entry that again looks decent. Mine can beat DiSemboweLment so i'm confident against this one.
Ice Tornado - It might fair well against shell and slow bots, it's going to get raped by the fast true popups (me or Pwn) though.
Infection 4 - Probably one of the biggest threats to me if it can out-wedge me. If not, i'll finally get my revenge !
kill box - It's much better than i expected and honestly not a SFTW. Timothy700 however looks like he has poor skill in naming his bots...
Killer Green Yoshi - It's not bad... but i very much doubt about the "killer" part honestly...
Kurt Rambis - Not bad, but 400 HP Mags... That DSL bar is 7 kg wasted as well when you can just use multis.
Lil'Eager V2 - Eager to fail or what ? The weapon is barely powerful enough to take on most bots and the wheel armor isn't going to do much.
Meteorite - Yes, this is invertible, and yes, this hasn't enough weapon weight.
Minifridge 4 - GHEY
MLP v2 - Is that a (well-pulled-off) Schadenfreude clone or what ? Anyways, DoW.
Missile Test - I am not intimidated as well. It looks good enough, but not one of the best popups though... It might be too tall for shell spinners to get on top of it.
Moving Violation - Nice name - i don't see it fast and wedgy enough to fair really well. Might get a few wins still.
Mutant Kabuto - For once i'm not going to call GHEY on a shell... anyways, not enough weapon weight and should have distributed more the weight all around the shell. Credit for using awesome weapons though.
Blue Ruin - 6 irons ? It doesn't looks bad, but will lose to the shell and the popups.
N-Trench - Am I the only one who calls "exposed mags" on this ? It's not particularly bad but hasn't the best weapon.
Power Surge - It looks quite decent, though i think NPC Fast + Hypnos is better than this ?
Power Surge 3 - It looks very cool and quite a good bot in overall, but the extender work isn't the best.
Precision Impact - It looks cool, but having built drills in DSL before i can tell it's going to deal painfully low damage.
Predator - The guy who was ranting against shell spinners as much as me DARES to enter one ?
Primal Instincts X - I liked the showcased one better honestly. It's not bad, but i don't see that wedge being good.
Psychoblade - It's better than the oher bot usng these teeth, but going to get outwedged fast.
ReActive - A very nice bot and probably top entry. It also is a threat to popups even if they outwedge it, and this i am afraid of...
Reier's Avatar - It's more original than most of the flails here. Ain't too bad, ain't too good either.
Resentful Princess 2 - Half-GHEY
Star Dust - Behold, the best VS in the tournament.
Terrible Sight - Screw cheating, i am in to win ! It's rather original, decently looking, and eats shell for breakfast so i am quite happy with it.
That Spiked Thing - Unsurprised by TX that still can't build a decent bot. Worst shell of the whole bracket by quite a good margin.
The Mini Warrior - Well there is some improvement in building skil... but not much in efficiency...
The Strike Of A Ninja - DoW
The Telephone Effect - I am going to call Astroflights on this so not fast enough, and the extender setup's not very good as well.
Tomcat II - It's not bad, but too tall and really should have been invertible
Trance Hazard - Guess it's decent enough. Excepted for the exposed weapon AND drive motors that makes this a treat to popups.
Trigger Happy - This has skirt hinges right ? It's not bad, but going to be outwedged quite fast.
What Sheck spinner ? - It doesn't looks much of a shell spinner killer to me... The FS should have been more exposed as well. Oh and popup fodder.
Your Final Moment - It really has a high weapon - can this even touch the popups ?
Zombie Pirate Nnja - 2 BSGs is wasted on a LW vertical hammer. It's not even protected, giving him no chances against the shell (excepted TX's)
Mass Oppression - Not bad again, but should have been faster.
Mr.Punch - It's not as good as FOTEPX's but still pretty decent attempt at a poker.
S Cargo - It's going to get trashed by a shell if it faces one but can it beat the rammers and popups ?
Shilka - It's a cool design, but doesn't needs Mags and the wedge looks quite bad right now.

I'll be trading in durability for style in this BBEANS (Which is why Click wanted me to reply back to an email, the 2 versions) basically, the fragile fast NPC fasts instead of reliable normal NPCs.

I have very few rammers.. and haven't used them much at all. Don't know what to be afraid of, especially with something this fast. Pulling a Rage III is a risk - It's even been done on a square chassis face, let alone an actual wedge.

Bane and Stanley are big threats, maybe Final Z but I see no halfsheet on any.
Looks like a rammer could take down Z from the back. Don't imagine it to be that fast.
Have no idea what Naryar is planning with that...
Tomcat looks impressive for a newcomer. Aesthetically and in power.

Can't say much more because I'm on a time limit here.

I told you guys I had a SFTW. =P

This was built at the time when I really didn't know what I was doing in DSL. Really, my only chance is that my opponent rips off the hammers first, then drives up the chassis too quickly and OOTA's.

Actually, there's a reason why I used the combat arena. When both pokers collide, it usually havoks to the walls. I still have no idea which bot's responsible for it, but I think it's mine. So nothing to worry, since his is most likely havokless. XD

1.8: Well-built apart from the DSL bars that aren't even doing much as armor.  Let me guess, it's called 1.8 because of the chassis?

Yes, altough that isnt accurate anymore, since I named it when it had nothing else but plastic 1 on, but after I was done and didnt have enough weight for a razortip, i upgraded the armor to something else, titanium 1 i think.

Quote from: Naryar on May 24, 2010, 02:38:29 AM

1.8 - It doesn't looks bad, but meh. I hope these are normal NPCs... also the DSL bars aren't doing much

NPC Fasts and the bars keep the front from tipping down, thus lifting wheels off the ground.

Post by: JoeBlo on May 24, 2010, 08:49:50 AM

CBF writing it all out again

here is who I think are the top 10 "powers" in this tournament in no particular order

Bane X
Death of Angles
Infection 4
Predator (trying to not be bias.. but I have high hopes)
ReActive
Stanley 2
Star Dust
Terrible Sight
What Sheck Spinner?
S Cargo

I base it on much they are a threat to other robots.. more robots threatened by it more I rated it...

Mini Fridge 4 only just scraped outside.. becasue of weapon height
Resentful Princess fell just short also due to a large chassis

and I probably missed some others :P

Title: Re: BBEANS6 Brackets&Videos
Post by: Reier on May 24, 2010, 09:00:46 AM

Maybe cause it's not good enough? :P
That said, I'm not sure S Cargo is good enough to be in the top 10 either.

Ronin Flag is 5kg and a great means of self righting... sadly I missed the hit-points line in the text so I assumed it was default like the typhoon flag.. still this is only an additional 2-3kg used compared to normal SS...

I wouldn't dumb down things that much. For instance, you missed the fact I'm using NPC Fasts and your design looks like it has measly Slimbodies.

My opinions. Probably biased cos I like looks a lot :P


1.8 / Somestrangeguy: I like it, a nice design in general
4Head / Hurricaneandrew: Lots of hammers, I like that, but weak extenders?
Acrornia3 / FOTEPX: Seems alright. Might be a tad slow though
AHHHHHHhh COME ON!! / Sparkey98: ...
All Or Nothing / Redline: This was the first robot on the splash I 'wow'ed at. So compact. I like it a lot.
AntonYYYm / lloop D lloop: Exposed bursts, but never mind. Might get a win or 2 over shell.
Ataxia / Robosh4rk: I guess those razors rotate? I have no idea, looks sweet though.
Bane X / Urjak: Scary shizzle. Nuff said.
Biridium / ashman12: Lol thought it said Birdium lol.
Bisector / Clickbeetle: So so so cool. Not sure how well it'll do but wow, Click always amazes me.
Blabber-mouth / Zog: Nice design, not sure the weaponry is sufficient.
Blaze Line / STC: I'd like the look of this is it wasnt for those poly skirts on the side, but sweet overall.
Blood Orange / Craaig: I got hopes with this. I really do.
Bot with MOVING Spikes / 090901:  Generic popups. You'll gather by the end of this I don't like popups much.
Bot with spinny thingy / Bubbleman: I hope that weapons got a decent motor powering it...
Claw Cube 3 / Stagfish: Hugs re-incarnated? Too exposed for me.
Come Get Some / Alterer of Reality: NOOO SNS. Should do well though.
Conficker / Sys32: How the heck. It worries me, but I'm not sure those hammers will be going very fast with only Astros.
Death of Angles 2 / Sage: Sage builds a brilliant bot as always, even if I hate popups.
Deinonychus / Wings: Looks kinda cool, will unfortunately fail in combat.
Elle Driver / Jack Daniels: Easily one of my favourites. Creative and very well made.
Final Z / Badnik96: flailz D: should do well though. Nice PA skirt.
Flux / 40757: Hmm... Not sure if anything's gonna be gettin' on that spinner...
Guardian Angels / trumpetguy: Creative. Might not do well, but I like it.
Hredder 6.6 / Squirrel Monkey: Another generic popup. Sorry XD
Ice Tornado / The Ounce: Looks vicious, will go far in my opinion.
Infection 4 / Pwnator: WHY ALL THE POPUPS? D: this one looks good though.
kill box / timothy700: Nice amount of teeth?
Killer Green Yoshi / 027LB: Love the skin and the look of the weapon, not sure on it's efficiency though.
Kurt Rambis / COOLRUNNER87: Nice. I like it a lot. Might be unstable though?
Lil Eager V2 / Little lost bot: The... teeth are a nice touch?
Meteorite / Triton: Looks scary and well made.
Minifridge 4 / GK: Nice, but I think Bane will do better.
Minor Launch Platform MK2 / R1885: Flipper? I like it.
Missile Test / Jonzu95: Too steep and looks a bit overrated...
Moving Violation / Kill343gs: Love the looks, I hope this does well.
Mutant Kabuto / Sonny Ressetti: Again, I love how this looks, and the name. I hope it does well.
New Ruin / Firebeetle: Closer inspection makes me think... this is one to watch.
N-Trench / mjrobots: I like the teeth..?
Power Surge / Flying_Chao: Would've gone for stronger motors and downgraded the wheels myself, but nice.
Power Surge 3 / d-lark: Seems interesting...
Precision impact / Pressure: Teeth on piglets? Not sure on its chances...
Predator / JoeBlo: Master of Looking Good. Love it.
Primal Instincts X / inplabth: Clever, knowing the amount of SS here. Should go far.
Psychoblade / Scorpio: The teeth are... going the wrong way?
ReActive / MikeNCR: So many teeth... should do well.
Reier's Avatar / russian roulette: I think this might fall apart pretty soon if I'm honest.
Resentful Princess 2 / Virus Bomb: Seems alright... just reminds me of every other SS here...
Sawzal / Shish-kabot: I have a feeling this will do well.
Shish-kebab 2 / incredirobotwars: Eh... How powerful is it? XD
Stanley 2 / Somebody: The 'feared' Stanley, eh? Impressive weapon array. Otherwise, just like every other SS
Star Dust / 123Savethewhales: More VS, yay :D I like it a lot, looks nifty.
Terrible Sight / Naryar: Name implies it's blind. I think it'll do better than if it was blind.
That Spike Thing / TeamXtreemer: Those spikes aren't great if I recall.
The Mini Warrior / Eggman249: Lots of armour. No weaponry. No chances if I'm honest.
The Strike of a Ninja / Doomkiller: Looks nifty. Will do well, I think.
The Telephone Effect / WhamettNuht: Named after an awful Lady Gaga song = instant fail. But has a nice array.
Tomcat II / -Xile-: Interesting to say the least. Are those razors on a burst?
Trance Hazard / Larrain: Needs more weaponry in my opinion, but may do fairly well.
Trigger Happy / Natef: Seems a little underweaponed compared to the other popups. But less generic. Hurrah!
What Sheck Spinner? / H@zm47: More FS Flippers! YAY! And will obviously take the SS out.
Your final moment / Powerrave: Looks awesome, probably unstable.
Zombie Pirate Ninja / NFX: I like how it looks a lot, but it probably won't do well. Sorry.
Wildcards:
Mass Opression / Scrap Daddy: Concentrated more on armour? Still seems to have a nice little disc, might come to pieces though.
Mr. Punch / Goldenfox93: Seems like a large chassis, I like the name though, and it also looks strangely appealing to me.
S Cargo / Reier: More VS! YAY! More PA skirts! YAY! Great bot. Will do well.
Shilka / Temi: Looks so cool, not sure on it's chances though.

Meh, don't worry about it Jonzu.
It was crap compared to the others, I've always known that.
 
I think it would have won if it was facing a face spinner. As it's not, I've lost already.

Title: Re: BBEANS6 Brackets&Videos
Post by: G.K. on May 24, 2010, 11:49:37 AM

1.8 / Somestrangeguy: Not a bad bot, could have more weapons though.
4Head / HurricaneAndrew: Likewise, but those hammers have normals and it could get stuck on its front.
Acrornia3 / FOTEPX: Needs a wedge, but decent.
AHHHHHHhh COME ON!! / Sparkey98: Sorry Sparkey, but this is appaling. Slow, badly weaponed and irregular.
All Or Nothing / Redline: Will do very well or very badly.
AntonYYYm / lloop D lloop: Dunno about the effectiveness of the wedge or strength of actuall flippers though.
Ataxia / Robosh4rk: Looks good, unsure about the wedge though.
Bane X / Urjak: Best shell spinner, could easily do very well.
Biridium / ashman12: Decent if a poker, less if not.
Bisector / Clickbeetle: Very intimidating and worrying, should go very far.
Blabber-mouth / Zog: Very strange and innefficient bot.
Blaze Line / STC: Not brilliant, but there are many worse bots out there.
Blood Orange / Craaig: Underdog, but could easily pull off a surprise.
Bot with MOVING Spikes / 090901: Slow, but well built.
Bot with spinny thingy / Bubbleman: Perhaps my favourite named bot here, but not that good.
Claw Cube 3 / Stagfish: Decent, should be invertible and have armour though.
Come Get Some / Alterer of Reality: Has potential, maybe not as much as Craaog's, but another underdog..
Conficker / Sys32: LW BrasOuvert anyone? At least you can OotA this.
Death of Angles 2 / Sage: Very potent. Might be the best overall Popup. And the skin: <3333333333333
Deinonychus / Wings: Bad wheel choice and not enough weapons.
Elle Driver / Jack Daniels: Brilliant name, but see previous bot's comments.
Final Z / Badnik96: Nowhere near as good as it has been hyped, but still very potent.
Flux / 40757: Needs more weapons.
Guardian Angels / trumpetguy: I don't like this, it looks strange.
Hredder 6.6 / Squirrel Monkey: Very good, but only the 4th best popup here.
Ice Tornado / The Ounce: Nice bot, could easily do well.
Infection 4 / Pwnator: Where has Pwn made the sacrifice here? Very god bot.
kill box / timothy700: Better than I expected, but needs a wedge.
Killer Green Yoshi / 027LB: Decent, that better be running a dual mag.
Kurt Rambis / COOLRUNNER87: I <3 this bot.
Lil Eager V2 / Little lost bot: Slow, and really needs a wedge.
Meteorite / Triton: Dunno why TX is touting this. Decent nonetheless.
Minifridge 4 / GK: This is a havok machine. Hopefully Click's modification of FBSPlus will help that.
Minor Launch Platform MK2 / R1885: What's the weapon on that? Two razors? I <3 this though, another underdog.
Missile Test / Jonzu95: Nowhere near as good as he was touting it, astro drive and a steep wedge.
Moving Violation / Kill343gs: <3333333333333333333333333333333 But the flipper segment is dangerously exposed.
Mutant Kabuto / Sonny Resetti: Looks good for someone who hasn't build competitive bots for a long time.
New Ruin / Firebeetle: Knowing FB, he has a trick up his sleeve. Another bot not to be discounted.
N-Trench / mjrobots: The best robot that this BBEANS veteran has entered in a tournament. Decent.
Power Surge / Flying_Chao: Reminds me of Haymaker. Looks alright.
Power Surge 3 / d-lark: LOL at name similarities. Looks like a weaker version of Mike's bot.
Precision impact / Pressure: Stylish as always from Pressure, but needs more weapons.
Predator / JoeBlo: If it is as effective as Joe claims, then this is one to watch out for.
Primal Instincts X / inplabth: Very dangerous, good bot.
Psychoblade / Scorpio: Oh dear....
ReActive / MikeNCR: A top bot from the 1st seed.
Reier's Avatar / russian roulette: Interesting.....
Resentful Princess 2 / Virus Bomb: Can probably beet me.
Sawzal / Shish-Kabot: Extender work should be less scary.
Shish-kebab 2 / incredirobotwars: At least it has two beater bars for damage.
Stanley 2 / Somebody: See Bane X.
Star Dust / 123Savethewhales: Very potent, as you'd expect from 123.
Terrible Sight / Naryar: I hope I can get to the wheels.
That Spike Thing / TeamXtreemer:  :SFTW
The Mini Warrior / Eggman249: I see he's not learned from TBW. It even has the same skin.
The Strike of a Ninja / Doomkiller: Not sure if those angled plates will help at all. Good bot though.
The Telephone Effect / WhamettNuht: Needs lighter extender work.
Tomcat II / -Xile-: Very nice bot for someone with one post.
Trance Hazard / Larrain: Reallly neeeds more weapons.
Trigger Happy / Natef: <3333333. If only it had a metal hinge wedge....
What Sheck Spinner? / H@zm47: Brilliant bot, one of the best here. Excellent use of the Trov glitch.
Your final moment / Powerrave: I like PR's imagination, but this won't cut it here.
Zombie Pirate Ninja / NFX: He's admitted it himself, a SFTW.
Wildcards:
Mass Opression / Scrap Daddy: Quite nice tbh. Only thing that will worry Reier.
Mr. Punch / Goldenfox93: Too weak in the w-card. Would have been better in the main bracket.
S Cargo / Reier: <333333333. Should win, and I hope it does.
Shilka / Temi: <3333, but not stron enough to win here.

Click has always maintained the fact that BBEANS is open to anyone, even people not on GTM. Most of the bad bots haven't come from people with that few posts. In fact, mjrobots, -xile- and Temi have quite good bots. By your logic, they should not be allowed in, yet the true poor entries, Sparkey and TX, stay in. Anyway, who says that you have to have a good bot to enter this?

I agree on the first part, but-

-Post count is certainly not proportional to DSL bot building skill
-Click won't accept this.

One thing I will not do, however, is exclude people based on their experience or their quality.  I don't want BBEANS becoming some exclusive, elitist "club".  Maybe it's the biggest and most prestigious tourney here, but it's always been open to anybody. If I didn't let in newbies, we wouldn't have people like somestrangeguy (who was totally unknown when he first entered BBEANS3 as Destroyer), or Sage (who was still a newbie and wasn't yet making the killer bots he does now), or Phlox and Barbie (who weren't even registered on the forum when they entered BBEANS1), and the list goes on.  My point is, it's good to give the newbies a chance, even if their bots are SFTWs.  Just look at Phlox and Barbie's BBEANS1 bots and compare them to their BBEANS3 bots.

Whatever. A lot of guys did better (or worse) than I expected. But some bots are just plain weird...
1.8 / Somestrangeguy:Cool. Small chassis, should do well. But is it invertible??
4Head / Hurricaneandrew:A worse version of 1.8 except in invertability.
Acrornia3 / FOTEPX:Will this own due to weaponry of get owned because of no wedges? we will see...
AHHHHHHhh COME ON!! / Sparkey98:SFTW. I expected at least an effort from Sparkey.
All Or Nothing / Redline:Compact, lots of sharp edges. Should do better.
AntonYYYm / lloop D lloop: Average, nothing more...
Ataxia / Robosh4rk:Cool, it's not a popup this time! Top 10 for sure.
Bane X / Urjak:0_0 I will lose to this beast...
Biridium / ashman12:Ash is getting better, way better than what I expected.
Bisector / Clickbeetle: I made a copy of Bisector on my computer and Final Z lost to it so he will beat me.
Blabber-mouth / Zog:Wait, does that use a chassis from RFS AI??????????? Another SFTW.
Blaze Line / STC: Not the worst popup but needs wedge work.
Blood Orange / Craaig: This is just TOIATF with a different skin. Will do well.
Bot with MOVING Spikes / 090901: Will lose to me, as my Ai'ed bot beat his.
Bot with spinny thingy / Bubbleman: better than I expected, still not that good though.
Claw Cube 3 / Stagfish:Needs front armor.
Come Get Some / Alterer of Reality:Reminds me of the first Dizzy Dragon with flails. Not bad though.
Conficker / Sys32:Hey, another WTT entry! Will outweapon everything but hammers and fast popups will kill it.
Death of Angles 2 / Sage: I have no doubts about this bot's power...
Deinonychus / Wings: Average, but will get its drive ripped off by the first popup it fights.
Elle Driver / Jack Daniels: Still is really cool.
Final Z / Badnik96: It might be GHEY but it will own half of the bots here.
Flux / 40757: Yay mini hazcon! Could be better but for 40757's first attempt at DSL its not bad.
Guardian Angels / trumpetguy: Will get outweaponed fast.
Hredder 6.6 / Squirrel Monkey: Another sweet popup.
Ice Tornado / The Ounce: I can beat it but it can beat most of the competition.
Infection 4 / Pwnator: Can it do as well as its older brother in RIP? Probably.
kill box / timothy700: Better than I expected but still not too good.
Killer Green Yoshi / 027LB: Yeah, not that good. It has a TWM3R2 under the hood so it should spin fast.
Kurt Rambis / COOLRUNNER87: Not the worst rammer, not the best either.
Lil Eager V2 / Little lost bot: Another SFTW, at least it has wheelguards.
Meteorite / Triton: Not a bad attempt by Triton, will get out weaponed fast.
Minifridge 4 / GK: Another awesome flail SS, not the best though.
Minor Launch Platform MK2 / R1885: Meh, this is a popup fest. Will lose to SM and Sage.
Missile Test / Jonzu95: The arena will help Jonzu out big time...
Moving Violation / Kill343gs Not bad, but could be better.
Mutant Kabuto / Sonny Ressetti: It's Resetti, but he should stick to replicas.
New Ruin / Firebeetle: YAY New Blue Ruin! Cool, but is it enough to defend his title?
N-Trench / mjrobots: Normals and exposed weapons, reminds me of 493-1023 for some reason..
Power Surge / Flying_Chao: Below average SnS, but its the first thing F_C's made since CC2 so I'll give him a break.
Power Surge 3 / d-lark: For the first time in history, two robots have entered a BBEANS with the EXACT SAME NAME!!!!! The better Power Surge.
Precision impact / Pressure: Cool mohawk but not nearly enough weapons.
Predator / JoeBlo: NORMALS but cool ronin flag. Should have entered FH3 though...
Primal Instincts X / inplabth:The only hammer bot? Seriously? cool though.
Psychoblade / Scorpio: The normals are facing the wrong way. Otherwise, it looks OK.
ReActive / MikeNCR: I'm scared...
Reier's Avatar / russian roulette: Name win, extender fail, will fall to the first popup...
Resentful Princess 2 / Virus Bomb:Sick and powerful.
Sawzal / Shish-kabot: Only SnSnS here, but will it be enough? Weapons say yes, extenders say no.
Shish-kebab 2 / incredirobotwars: It does damage, I'll give it that...
Stanley 2 / Somebody: I WILL BEAT YOU!!!!1 or not...
Star Dust / 123Savethewhales: Not bad, best of the VS.
Terrible Sight / Naryar: is hinge armor really a good idea?
That Spike Thing / TeamXtreemer: Worst SS.
The Mini Warrior / Eggman249: Doesn't really look like E249 learned anything from TBW's failure...
The Strike of a Ninja / Doomkiller: Another mini Hazcon but better than Flux.
The Telephone Effect / WhamettNuht:Ok, but could use a smaller chassis.
Tomcat II / -Xile-:Way better than I expected him to do, will it be enough to secure a win?
Trance Hazard / Larrain: Nice, but will get out weaponed quickly.
Trigger Happy / Natef: Better than Tsunami but does it have a good wedge?
What Sheck Spinner? / H@zm47:Cooooooool. It uses the Trov. Glitch to?
Your final moment / Powerrave: Meh, average...
Zombie Pirate Ninja / NFX:Actually not the worst SFTW. Cool DTK-style chassis too.
Wildcards:
Mass Opression / Scrap Daddy: This guy just never ceases to amaze me.
Mr. Punch / Goldenfox93: Better than I expected but is the oversized chassis a good idea?
S Cargo / Reier: Winner of the wild card.
Shilka / Temi: Cool but needs a better wedge.

I am pleased at the amount of WTT bots/rebuilds though.

I count:

• Blood Orange
• Conficker
• Minifridge
• S Cargo
• Free Hugs 3 (Which was in this until JoeBlo changed his bot)

G.K. is correct, there are several differences, one of them makes it a much better fighter from the start. Complete rebuild too, generally better in all ways.

Most of the changes (can't remember all) are that the chassis is smaller, skirts are stronger, everything is attached more efficiently and it falls flat instead of on the tips of the skirts. I think the drive motors might be different too, but don't quote me on that.

Title: Re: BBEANS6 Brackets&Videos
Post by: R0B0SH4RK on May 24, 2010, 04:12:05 PM

Awwwwwright. Analysis and predictions time :D

Main Bracket:

1.8 - Somestrangeguy
- Decent looking rammer, but those drive motors are very exposed. One hit can completely cripple it.

4Head - Hurricane Andrew
- A lesser version of SSG's 1.8. May give other rammers problems though.

Acornia 3 - FOTEPX
- May win a fight or two, but the weapons are too dispersed to cause any real destruction.

AHHHH COME ON!! - Sparkey98
- If it's a flipper (which I suspect it may be) it might be an annoying little bugger for some bots. At least it's not the SFTW.

All Or Nothing - Redline
- The best paintjob. Brittle weaponry will prove to be its downfall, however.

AntonYYYm - lloop D lloop
- Clearly inspired by Smashbox, it's too top heavy to be really wedgey, and lacks damaging potential. Probably won't do well.

AtaxiA - R0B0SH4RK
- It's quite damaging, but its biggest weaknesses are its brittle weapons. Like R4, it's not built for long matches.

Bane X - Urjak
- Very deadly with 12 razors, Urjak is a serious contender. It might take part in some of the most boring matches though.

Biridium - Ashman12
- I'm not sure it it's a rammer or a poker, but it will run into the same problems as FOTEPX's Acornia. This being said, Acornia's also much better.

Bisector - Clickbeetle
- Before you guys start geeking out over Bisector like you did Heaven's Sawmill, note that a lucky hit from a gut ripper can cripple it, and it can be out-weaponed too. By far and away the most creative entry here.

Blabber-mouth - Zog
- wat

Blaze Line - S.T.C.
- It looks pretty good, but I'm unsure of the wedges. It should win a couple of matches.

Blood Orange - Craaig
- Decent, but unspectacular. Whyachi hammers aren't great and its weapon motor is very exposed to HS's.

Bot With MOVING Spikes - 090901
- Another bot that looks decent but not great. Three spikes aren't much even on a LW popup, and the position of the weapon limits how damaging it could be.

Bot With Spinny Thingy - Bubbleman
- The coolest looking chassis of any of the bots, but the weapon is quite high and the reach is limited. It might stand a better chance if it was rotated 180 degrees.

Claw Cube 3 - Stagfish
- I'm not sold on how damaging it can be. Also, it looks pretty breakable.

Come Get Some! - Alterer of Reality
- It dosen't look like it has the speed to be a really deadly SnS, and the weaponry isn't the best either.

Conficker - System32
- A very Bras Ouvert-style bot, it should be a rammers' worst nightmare. If its frontal shield is bypassed though, its hugely vulnerable with brittle components and a tiny chassis. It's also fairly slow.

Death Of Angels 2 - Sage
- One of my favourite bots here. It looks quick, damaging and wedgey. However, I'm pretty sure that its armour is weak, but it should still go far.

Deinonychus - Wings
- Very mediocre. Not very well built and very weak weaponry.

Elle Driver - Jack Daniels
- A more solid version of Deinonychus, I'm not sure if it's fast enough to cause many problems.

Final Z - Badnik96
- It has a deadly weapon, but its design leaves it more vulnerable to gut-rippers that some of the other HS here. Wheels on the end of long axels are also prone to havoks from my experience.

Flux - 40757
- Poor wedges and a high centre of gravity limit its effectiveness. May win a match it if gets licky with matchups.

Guardian Angels - Trumpetguy
- I'm tempted to suspect that this is a multibot. Even if it is, its weaponry is absolutely pathetic.

Hredder 6.6 - Squirrel_Monkey
- A very solid bot, but if the arena that we'll be in is like the BBEANS MW arena, small wedges seem to be limited in their effectiveness. Should do pretty well.

Ice Tornado - The Ounce
- Although I don't think that is has the speed to beat some of the top contenders, it has very good weaponry. A solid run is in line for this Best Rookie award contender.

Infection 4 - Pwnator
- Another one of my favourites. It will be very flanky, and is fast enough to take on some of the shell spinners. It will be top-5.

Kill Box - Timothy700
- It's design could give some spinners problems, but it's just not fast enough to pull it off. Also, gut-rippers will eat it for breakfast.

Killer Green Yoshi - 027 LB
- It will be unstable, and capable of catapulting itself over walls, but its hammers can outlast many of the other weapon setups here. I don't see any prolonged runs from it though.

Kurt Rambis - COOLRUNNER87
- It's not really quick, and a narrow wheel base makes it easily flanked. Its back end is very vulnerable.

Lil' Eager V2 - Little Lost Bot
- I like how it looks, but its weaponry is pretty poor and its chassis is very exposed. It won't go far.

Meteorite - TriTon
- Mediocre wedges, sparse weaponry and exposed drive motors. Might be an annoyance for some, but It won't be going very far.

Minifridge 4 - G.K.
- A classic Sheck Spinner look, but it's out-gunned by Bane X, Stanley 2 and Resentful Princess 2. It will get a couple of wins, but there are better bots out there with the same design.

Minor Launch Platform MK2 - R1885
- A decent looking LW popup. Pretty generic, it can get out-wedged on the BBEANS arena floor. Also, the small wedge is vulnerable to some of the flails.

Missile Test - Jonzu95
- Its wedge is pretty poor and it may lose a lot of slow matches. With this being said, it may also have the frontal defense to give some of the shell spinners a tough time.

Moving Violation - Kill343gs
- It looks cool, but it lacks the damaging power to make a sustained run. Good matchups may give it a couple of wins.

Mutant Kabuto - Sonny_Resetti
- It has a big chassis and not many weapons for a spinner. It probably won't go far.

New Ruin - Firebeetle
- The champ returns with a smart little spinner. With what I think is triple irons on each side, it will cause most of the bots here big problems. It's still vulnerable to gut-rippers, however.

N-Trench - Mjrobots
- Simply not enough weaponry and brittle construction mean that this bot will be lucky to get out of round 1.

Power Surge - Flying_Chao
- I like it to do well, but as we saw with Haymaker in BBEANS 4, the arena can be unforgiving. Also, I'm not sure if the TD wheels give it enough speed to take out some of the gut-rippers.

Power Surge 3 - D-lark
- I don't know quite how the weapons are supposed to work, but I don't think that there are enough for a good rammer. Also, the drive motors are a big achilles heel.

Precision Impact - Pressure
- One of the best built SFTWs that I've seen. It has really weak wheels and terrible weaponry. Also not invertible.

Predator - JoeBlo
- Grizzly claws are damaging, but I don't think that it will stack up to the other flail HS too well, due to having normals and being out-weaponed. Ronin flags are a nice touch though.

Primal Instinct - Inplabth
- Hammers are damn near impossible to pull off well in the LW division, and unfortunately PI dosen't break this trend. It looks to have a short reach and instability will be a problem.

Psychoblade - Scorpio
- THE...WEAPONS...ARE...BACKWARDS. Other than that, it at least looks cool.

ReActive - MikeNCR
- I'm not sure that Mike can retain his #1 ranking with this entry, as I'm not sure what it's really supposed to do. Might fall victim to HS though.

Reier's Avatar 3
- A lack of wedges hurts this flail grinder, and graphite extenders holding on the drive train is a massive weakness.

Resentful Princess - Virus Bomb
- Basically the same a Bane X, but with 8 razors and 2 irons. Another contender for top rookie.

Sawzal - Shish-Kabot
- S-k clearly was watching Clash Cubes when he designed this. Unlike many of the SnS, this ones wheelbase looks wide enough to give it sufficient speed, but it's still very, very brittle.

Shish-Kebab 2 - Incredirobotwars
- Having an exposed chassis in DSL is almost suicide. I can see Shish-Kebab getting eaten alive by some of the spinners here.

Stanley 2 - Somebody
- The 3rd best SS here, it has basically the same strengths are Bane X and Resentful Princess. Look for Somebody to elevate his current #77 ranking.

Star Dust - 123Savethewhales
- A pretty good VS should make a decent run, but ultimately it will be outgunned by the better HS and Gut-rippers.

Terrible Sight - Naryar
- For a guy who rips on flails at every chance he gets, seeing something as "teh ghey" as invisible, invulnerable armour on one of his bots is bordering on hypocritical. 800 hp wheels also would scare me, as one lucky shot could incapacitate this bot.

That Spike Thing... - TeamXtreemer
- Not enough good weapons to go anywhere.

The Mini Warrior - Eggman249
- See above comment. Except this one's worse.

The Strike of a Ninja - Doomkiller
- A very solid looking TS. So much rear weight may inhibit its wedge, however. Still a contender for Best Rookie.

The Telephone Effect - WhammettNuht
- A very solid looking FS from Wham. If its wedges are good enough, it may make a decent run. If not, it will still be pesky.

Tomcat II - -Xile-
- A very real-life feel to this one. It reminds me of Robot Wars' Wild Thing. It's too steep to be a very good wammer though.

Trance Hazard - Larrain
- Not enough weaponry to worry the HS's, and an exposed motor is lunch for gut-rippers. I don't like its chances.

Trigger Happy - Natef
- Very good frontal defense, but a poor wedge and it may be easily flanked. It, like Jonzu's Missile Test, could potentially cause some problems for the flail HS though.

What Sheck Spinner? - H@zm47
- I don't like anti-(insert bot type here) bots because they tend to be limited in their effectiveness against types other than the ones they were designed to fight. Also, I'm not even sure that WSS? can handle Bane X, RP2 or Stanley.

Your Final Moment - Powerrave
- Bad weapons, bad drive, bad robot. Another SFTW.

Zombie Pirate Ninja - NFX
- I like how it looks, but I just don't think that it's damaging enough or wedgey enough to make a prolonged run.

Wildcard Bracket:

Mass Opression - Scrap Daddy
- Very well built despite aa general lack of weaponry. If it's fast enough, it can make it into the main bracket.

Mr. Punch - GoldenFox93
- Teh generic piston rammer is teh generic. Also, probably the worst of the four wildcard combatants.

S Cargo - Reier
- The best non-gutripping VS in the entire tourney, it's unfortunate that Reier needs to fight to get into the main bracket. The favourite, but Scrap may give him a run for his money.

Shilka - Temi
- One of the coolest looking bots, but with a static wedge and rotated teeth, I'm not sure how damaging it could be. With a couple of modifications, it could have been a deadly combatant.

Wildcard Predictions:
It's a toss-up between Reier and Scrap, but ultimately I think that Scrap will gut-rip his way into the main bracket. If either Reier or Scrap win, they are both also poised to make a significant run too, although I don't think that either one can win it all.

Main Bracket Predictions:
The finalists in both DSL BBEANS to date have all been wedges (Smashbox, Mako, HazCon, Enfilad3), but the only other LW BBEANS was also the only HS vs HS final (Childs Play vs Le\/eL). You can read two thing from that: the wedge will dominate DSL, or HS are the way to go for LWs. It will be close, but ultimately I think that Sage and Pwnator have what it takes to rise through the ranks and face off for the title. And between them, I think that Sage is better suited for takin out other wedges. So, my prediction for BBEANS 6 champ is Sage!

Top 5:
1. Death of Angels 2 - Sage
2. Infection 4 - Pwnator
3. Bane X - Urjak
4. Terrible Sight - Naryar
5. Stanley 2 - Somebody

Others to watch:
ReActive - MikeNCR
Resentful Princess 2 - Virus Bomb
Ice Tornado - The Ounce
Final Z - Badnik96
AtaxiA - R0B0SH4RK

Top Rookie Contenders:
Blaze Line - S.T.C.
Final Z - Badnik96
Ice Tornado - The Ounce
Resentful Princess 2 - Virus Bomb
Star Dust - 123savethewhales
The Strike of a Ninja - Doomkiller

The SFTW nominees:
Blabber-mouth - Zog
Guardian Angels - Trumpetguy
Your Final Moment - powerrave

And there you have it :D

BBEANS arena has a perfectly flat plane for the floor... other arenas have a GMF object...which isnt perfect. Notice the robots wriggle around on the test arena floor ? wedges are different becasue of this... I had a gut ripper entry that had an awesome wedge, that got under every NarAI robot but failed in the BBEANS arena so I didnt enter it. also thats why ItI got under normally good wedges too.

Just a note here:
Stanley 4 with 12 razors and copal drive is much more susceptible to popups than Stanley 2. Not sure if the copals have anything to do with it, but I am not sure I can trust the copals with my drive anyways. Those Sheck spinners can barely even move with copals...

Actually, nitpicking is actually a cutured trait in this forum.
 
Naryar, Reier, STW, Ounce, Sage, Click, Firebeetle, Pys, Venko, Me and pretty much everyone who isn't new has done it because this forum is bred from the idea that not taking RA2 semi seriously is unthinkable. the closest to a "Casual" AI pack is ROFL AI, and even that's going to have a starcore AI version sooner or later.

Huh, it seems that a lot of people liked the showcased version of my bot more. I had to swap it out because its wedge was garbage, the armor was weak, the robot flipped if it turned too quickly, and the self righting was really bad, too. The new version fixes the stability, self rights more reliably, has a much better wedge because it is a skirt hinge and the entire weight of the robot is resting on it, and has a slightly improved drive as well.
 
Should be an awesome tournament all around.

Acornia 3 is going to surprise alot of you, I've used his BW version against mine doing test runs for TAG TEAM FW becuase he is my parner and it gave WAR Beetle 1.0 a run for it's money and not alot of BW's can do that "cough Urjak's Enutron cough". Though it's not going to be effective versus any of the shell spinners because of the brittle weapons.

Post by: d-lark on May 25, 2010, 04:24:02 PM

FUUUUUUUUU- I can't believe someone has the same name as my bot! at least there is a 3. My reasoning behind the power surge name was that I built the bot in a storm, and the power blinked out long enough to shut down my computer, by some miracle i had just clicked on the test bot button so I did not have too start again. I took it as a sign and named my bot power surge. It's obviously an average (or less than average) contender but I need some real tournament experience and this should be a great tournament to watch, nevertheless still expecting an 0-2 record.

They met the first time in Round 2 - very, very early. The chances of such a matchup were theorically 3/64. But it happened.

depends on the time lapse you give them for No Chassis Time Out.. I gave Dooms CC3 pop up a longer lapse and it was able to fish out HapHazards chassis.

if click gives them a longer time lapse there is a chance that will find your chassis, if not that will probably waste there weapons on your hammers.

Caster armor is a building technique. It's not realistic and probably cheating

I can't really see how skirt hinges would be any different if used like that. But I guess if Click let it into the splash, then it must be legal.

Been making test bindings for AoN to get a feel for how certain matchups will go.
The AI drives it like a nutter - but I don't condemn it for even I have control problems.

Low point: Knowing that AoN can throw itself out of the arena merely turning sharply and awkwardly. Only happened once but it's pretty serious
High point: Launching Explosive Stinger out of the BBEANS arena, in one ram, in 4 seconds (Around 2 not counting the fact it hadn't touched the floor) ... Remember that neither have wedges.

Nonsense.  You play the ego game with him.  In fact you are playing it right now.

Not that I find anything wrong with skirt hinge armor per say.  Just wait til people start putting typhoon flags on everything.

Edit:  Actually since I got the blame on it, I might as well capitalize on it.  Expect skirt hinges armor/typhoon flag wedges from me soon.

Post by: JoeBlo on May 26, 2010, 09:22:44 PM

as I noted in Naryars showcase

skirt hinge armour realistic? no

can we stop its use? no

we cant have 153 nit pick rules over things.. that just gets confusing and ruins the game, FH3 used a base mounted half sheet as front armour.. but where can you draw that line ? general rules easily avoid debating IMO something I have considered for Backlash with the ban of anything but spinners.

Title: Re: BBEANS6 Brackets&Videos
Post by: R0B0SH4RK on May 27, 2010, 01:03:57 AM

Stopping the use of skirt hinge armour in tournaments is easy. All it takes is for Click (or the host in future situations) to say "no invincible (baseplate mounted) armour because it's unrealistic."

Easy as pie IMO.

everyone will just try and claim its for another use then Armour.. I mean look at casters.. they arnt even meant to be Armour yet they are used that way. to many resrictions would have to be in place.. ok for a one off tournament perhaps (like the IRL one that never happened) but not for regular building.. its to hard.

of coarse there is an easy fix for the skirt hinges being used as armour.... take away the odd collision or collision completely (except the white part) they are only an attachment method so they don't really need one.. DSL 2.2 anyone ?

Weird thing is that now that i discovered a new technique plenty of people are lik BAWWWWW but we NEVER had this sort of discussion about baseplate attached halfsheets.

Title: Re: BBEANS6 Brackets&Videos
Post by: Somebody on May 27, 2010, 08:52:39 AM

Baseplate attached halfsheets were *meant* to be invincible. Thats why they way half as much as the big ones for about 1/3 of the size. You pay the price in weight. Yet when we come up with something just as good, that can be mounted anywhere and ISNT MEANT to be doing this. then it is unrealistic. A skirt hinge couldnt block sh** IRL

Title: Re: BBEANS6 Brackets&Videos
Post by: Sage on May 27, 2010, 09:43:13 AM

The difference between castor armor and invisible skirt hinge armor is that castors COULD be used irl. Putting a thick piece of metal in the fornt of your robot to protect from frontal damage is absolutely realistic, cause it can be attached directly to the chassis. Skirts could never be used the way they are being used now. The only reason the collision mesh is like that is because it would havok without it.

That being said, I don't mind it's use in this tournament. Click said it was fine, so stop QQ and just enjoy the show. If you lose because of invisible invincible skirt hinge armor, be angry at yourself for not thinking of using it too.

Hey everyone.  I'm back, and the wildcard tournament videos are up!  The 64th bot in the tournament is decided!


I wanted to get the wildcards done quickly, so the whole thing is combined into 3 parts, 2 fights each, with minimal extra effects.  The main tournament videos will look more like the mock battle I posted on Youtube.


AND that's not all, I also got the brackets made up!  Warning: contains spoilers for the wildcard tournament.  Don't scroll down too far if you want to keep the wildcards a surprise.


Everything is on the first page of this thread.

Thanks, Click. Thanks a lot.

And as for me... I'm facing Bisector (Click's devastator) in the opening round. If I can somehow bob and weave and avoid that dang spike, I may have a small shot. If I'm stuck at any point against a wall, my goose is cooked.

Post by: The Ounce on May 30, 2010, 01:29:26 AM

I’m liking Mr. Punch’s AI.  Part of your new Rammer.py project perhaps?

Also, is it me or did Shilka’s weapon motors come off rather easily?  I thought Piglets had 8000hp.

Anyway, predictions:

ReActive over Lil' Eager V2 - Mike is simply the better builder here.  The wheel guards aren't going to help much here since ReActive will just go for the exposed chassis.

The Strike of a Ninja over Sawzal - Sawzal's core is too fragile to last long if its opponent gets under it.  However if it can keep itself off of its opponent's wedge, which I doubt would happen since the blades are too high, then it might stand a chance.

Power Surge over Stardust – While Star Dust is the better built, It doesn’t do too well against SnSs unless the SnS is unstable, which this one doesn’t look to be.

N-Trench over Shish-Kebab 2 – I don’t think Shish Kebab will be able to flip N-Trench OOTA on its own, and by the time the flippers activate it’ll probably be too late.

Death of Angels 2 over Acornia 3 – rammers just don’t tend to do well against popups, but Acornia has a lot of force behind that weapon; if it can keep DOA2’s weapon away from it enough, then it might get a win or 2.

Resentful Princess 2 over Moving Violation – HS vs VS match.  If MV is fast and damaging enough then it can probably gut-rip it successfully, but the vulnerable connector and RP2’s spinspeed very likely have this match decided already.

Final Z over Elle Driver – Final Z will hit the vulnerable parts of ED, but if Elle Driver is fast enough or if it can destabilize Final Z then it just might KO it.

What Sheck Spinner? over Bot with spinny thingy – When the trapping ability of WSS? meets the exposed chassis of BWST, it will equal a dead bot with a spinny thingy.

New Ruin over Kill Box – Kill Box looks like it can trap New Ruin, but the panels holding the weapons will get hit first, then it won’t be able to trap it.

Mutant Kabuto over Precision Impact – If Mutant Kabuto can spin fast enough, it will break the drills and render Precision Impact unable to gut-rip it, though it still looks like Precision Impact could get underneath it.

Blood Orange over The Telephone Effect – Wedge-less VSs, when well-built, tend to do well against other wedges, but if TTE’s weapons/armor can hold out until Blood Orange loses a hammer then it might be able to come back and KO it.

Missile Test over Conficker – It looks like it could go either way actually.  If Missile Test can avoid hitting its opponent’s weapons, then it should be an easy KO.  However, the drive on both of them and the way their weapons are positioned could allow Missile
Test to break its weapons and lose by points.

Minor Launch Platform MK2 over Blaze Line – MLP2 looks faster, better armored, and better wedged than Blaze Line, but the general cheapness of true popups makes this less one-sided.

Guardian Angels over Meteorite – While both don’t have much in the weapons category, Guardian Angels has the better wedge, but its weapon setup and Meteorite’s well defended chassis could give it some trouble while trying to KO it.

Bane X over Zombie Pirate Ninja – It speaks for itself really.

Psychoblade over Blabber-Mouth – While neither of them look like they can do much damage, Psychoblade has more weaponry, so the normals won’t really matter, even more if the blade spins in the direction the teeth are pointing. 

AtaxiA over Trance Hazard – Trance Hazard’s motors are too exposed and the weapon too high to be able to resist gut-ripping.

Deinonychus over Tomcat II – While Tomcat II is the better built, that skirt hinge looks like it will ruin the wedge, and Deinonychus just might have more weaponry.

1.8 over Minifridge 4 – Bots that out-weapon shell spinners usually beat them, but Minifridge’s weapons look like they might be in the right position to hit the weapon extenders of 1.8.  Overall, it could go either way.

Power Surge 3 over Killer Green Yoshi – PS3 (lol @ acronym) will likely get underneath and gut-rip KGY, but if Killer Green Yoshi’s weapon can knock it away enough times (though that would be hard to do looking at its opponent’s drive), then it might be able to win.

Bisector over Kurt Rambis – A destructive and heavily-armored hammer versus a rammer with an exposed top: it shouldn’t be hard to predict what will happen.

Reier’s Avatar 3 over Your Final Moment – Reier’s Avatar 3 will be able to rip off the side panel armor, which also hold the weapons, and then tear apart its chassis for the win.

Come Get Some! over AntonYYYm – While Come Get Some! looks a bit unstable, and AntonYYYm looks like it can flip well, it still can’t deal damage, and the wedge is kind of steep.

Stanley 2 over Ice Tornado – While I built Ice Tornado to Combat FSS, it tends not to well against those with ≥ 8 flail razors.  Ice Tornado won’t be able to break off all of its opponent’s weapons without losing half of its own, and when that happens, the wheels and other non-weapon parts will get hit = loss by points.

Terrible Sight over Bot With MOVING Spikes – It could go either way but Terrible Sight Just might have the better wedge, and it’s faster.

S Cargo over 4Head – VS aren’t friendly to rammers, and the normal weapons on this one don’t look like they can deal enough damage before S Cargo reaches its chassis.

Primal Instincts over All or Nothing – While AON looks well-built, it’s still a bot with an exposed top facing a hammer, and it might not be able to knock off the plow in time.  A rather unlucky draw for Redline here.

Predator over That Spike Thing… - That Spike Thing just doesn’t have enough weapons or reach, ‘nuff said.

Flux over Claw Cube 3 – Flux probably has the better wedge, but the weapons as well as the metal hinge wedge of Claw Cube 3 just might give it an advantage.

AH COME ON!!! over The Mini Warrior – Neither of them are well built, but Sparkey’s bot has the better wedge as well as more weapons.  However if the armor on The Mini Warrior can give it enough time to for it to get a few hits on its opponent’s chassis, then…

Hredder 6.6 over Infection 4 – I tested Infection 4 against DiSemboweLment and it was able to get under it every time.  If Infection 4 can’t out-wedge DiSemboweLment then I doubt it could beat Hredder 6.6.

Trigger Happy over Biridium – Popups usually beat rammers, and this one doesn’t look like it can disprove that generalization, because it’s too fast and too exposed.

Hmm... not liking that draw, after checking out competitive hammer bots.
Hopefully AoN can get behind Primal Instincts - it's certainly possible, what with Hypnos and NPC Fasts on a LW.
It's a very quirky bot, especially how it reacts after it's rams.

Prediction:
Match 1: I'll get under Naryar's bot in the and get some KO's
Match 2: I know that BWMS can destroy S Cargo and that S Cargo can destroy BWMS but, BWMS destroys S Cargo more often so I think I can win it. Could go either way still.
Match 3: BWMS has a hard time with FSS but I have never tested against one with Bear Claws. That wedge on Predator could be it's downfall because it could block some damage.
Match 4: If Hredder 6.6's wedge gets under mine, I'm toast. But, if I get under Hredder 6.6 I would win this.
Match 5: I'm most likely screwed because I will most likely face a Razor FSS.

If Sage's is a true popup (i think it is) and uses Popup.py then you chances of winning are nearly none.

However, If sage's does NOT use popup.py then you have a slight chance.

In theory, everyone has a 1/64 chance of winning. In reality, some bots are going to be better than others, and the luck of the draw gives some bots more of a chance than others.

Oh they probably have. And every robot has a chance to win. If all things went perfectly, even AHHHHHHHHHHhh COME ON!!! could win. But the odds of each different bot winning are all different, based on the bot, the hazards, its opponents, and general luck of the arenea (IE: Insult to Injury V beating PiTA 8)

If you were asking a question, it would be:

"Dear Clickbeetle. You seem to be done with the AI, and i was ever so hoping the videos might be coming soon. Do you know when they might be completed?"

you said:

2) were are the videos that have already been posted ?

regardless he will probably say one of those is what he meant as a means of clearing his name though :P

Well, I failed just as I predicted. Got hopelessly outclassed by all of the spinners, only won one (ONE!) round out of about 12 by sheer luck, and generally got my arse handed to me all-round.

?  I don't have any bindings sent by you in my bot list.  Either you forgot to send them, or I somehow missed them.  These are the ones I'm using:

Code: [Select]

    list.append(("Final Z","Omni",{'invertible':True,'range':50,'radius':1,'topspeed':100,'throttle':100,'turn':100,'turnspeed':1.5,'weapons':(28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35)}))

If the correct bindings are really essential for the bot's performance, and it's my fault for missing your bindings, I will redo your match... but only if the bot's performance is really a lot different.  In any case I will use your bindings for your next match, if you re-send them.

I'll be honest here and say that your robot gave WSS a lot more trouble than I thought it would. It was a good match and I enjoyed watching it. Thanks for not spamming the thread with ragetoons like FOTEPX has been lately :D

Great videos, I like the strategy to "What Sheck spinner". Hopefully it does well in the tourney.

Thanks :bigsmile:

I'm surprised at Final Z's loss, I was hoping to tear it apart in the next round :evilsmile:. Elle Driver should make for an interesting match as i never tested WSS against drumbots.

Nope, tried the new bindings and Elle Driver still KO'd Final Z 3 for 3... in fact I think it performs slightly worse with these bindings.  But if you want to use them I will.

*whew* I was getting nervous there for a moment. 

I can see why everyone said that Elle is a bit underweaponed.  I didn't expect the light DSL teeth to fall off that easily.  Ah well, great match Badnik.  We always seem to face each other in tourneys.  You are my arch rival.  :evilsmile:

What if an old vet returns and they have never posted on the forum? What if they want to enter BBEANS? There is noway BBEANS will become something were must have 50 posts. BBEANS is for all n00bs to vets. It's the Vet's that they didn't get there bot in on time.

No need to quote the same post sparkey. but Click has always done it like this, and he even has had a rant about it. Although in NASCAR, they do a system where people in the top-whatever in points get a guaranteed entry if they want to. Its called a provisional entry. Its possible that if like the 20 top people from the last BBEANS are guaranteed a spot in this BBEANS if they want it or something, or they can choose to forfeit their spot to let someone else have it, but can still enter if they change their mind.

Title: Re: BBEANS6 Brackets&Videos
Post by: G.K. on June 06, 2010, 05:00:29 AM

The thing with that is that the top 20 include people like Avenger who aren't around any more.

mmhmm

And also, there could be a champions provisional, where a past champion could get in as well (As in guaranteed a spot), and we could have like enough provisionals for half of the champions of BBEANS.

In this sense, Click will announce that he is taking, for example, 40 bots for the next BBEANS. Those other 24 would be guaranteed to ACAMS, Nary, Mike, and FB, along with the 20 best from the last tourney (AKA so vets with good bots could get in). Those vets would have their name listed, and could choose to be in or out of the tourney. Click can accept "in waiting" bots, to go in if the first 40 fill up and then the vet says they don't want to compete, or they just don't send a bot by the deadline. The top 20 can have a deadline that isn't set by when a bunch of n00bs come, send bots, and leave, but by an actual date, so they can do what vets do best. Wait until the last goddamn day to send a bot.

One thing I will not do, however, is exclude people based on their experience or their quality.  I don\'t want BBEANS becoming some exclusive, elitist "club".  Maybe it\'s the biggest and most prestigious tourney here, but it\'s always been open to anybody.  If I didn\'t let in newbies, we wouldn\'t have people like somestrangeguy (who was totally unknown when he first entered BBEANS3 as Destroyer), or Sage (who was still a newbie and wasn\'t yet making the killer bots he does now), or Phlox and Barbie (who weren\'t even registered on the forum when they entered BBEANS1), and the list goes on.  My point is, it\'s good to give the newbies a chance, even if their bots are SFTWs.  Just look at Phlox and Barbie\'s BBEANS1 bots and compare them to their BBEANS3 bots.

While i agree with Somebody, it's BBEANS. Click's tournament.

Click does whatever the heck he wants with it, it's his OWN tournament. And he won't do this, for sure.

Maybe a place for previous champions but still...

But why don't you make a bot quality requirement for your tournament SB ? I am doing same for NAR AI Wars.

Title: Re: BBEANS6 Brackets&Videos
Post by: Somebody on June 06, 2010, 01:22:25 PM

@Naryar: I was thinking of it, but I do not want to dissuade entrants. Its why I am requiring people to be an active member of the forums to enter. Hopefully their bots would be good enough. The weight requirements also require that a 400kg bot is not entered as a HW.

@090901: Well it would depend on the number in the past tourneys, and at this rate, there will not be any 32 bot BBEANS anytime soon.

@powerrave: Well this system still allows everyone to enter. If they make it on time.

@System32: Shut up.

Well I actually feel good about it. I am getting lots of collaboration on the idea, its coming together well, and If my tournament had more than 8 bots, then I would use it. I have some more ideas for tournaments after this version, all of which could be described as "alternate yet feasable". They extend from a UHW tournament to a tournament where everyone enters two robots which fight separately in the same bracket, and are not allowed to be the same.

Round 1, Part 2/4 is up!


Overall the fights were more exciting than part 1, I think, but a lot of that is due to Blood Orange... there's no such thing as a boring fight with a big hammer-slinging VS in the arena, regardless of whether it wins or loses  :mrgreen:   Also there's a pretty awesome 1-hit KO in one of the fights, but I can't tell you which one without spoiling the results.

QFT... How many times has that come up now?  More than enough.


However, I might change things up for BBEANS7... BBEANS1-6 make a nice set of LW,MW,HW in both mainstream game types, so #7 would be the time to do it if I was going to make any significant changes.  Most likely what I would do is open registration for veterans a week or so early, and then open it for everyone.  But that's a long way in the future and doesn't have any relevance in this thread.  This is for discussion about the bots and the matches!

Awesome!  How did you make it so that robots

catch on fire?

That's Mad's doing.  Though I sometimes have to disable it because it gets really laggy if both bots are on fire at the same time while I'm running Fraps.

IMO the reason Meteorite lost is because it was using a rammer tactic. With an Engage tactic it would have won.

Blabber-mouth is still more of a fail

I get enough things like that at school. I come on here so then I can chat, and have fun, and NOT to get shoved around and saying my bots are a fail. I try to make them to the best of my standards, and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is much better, and whenever I review someone's bot, I try and look at the good aspects of it, and try to help improve with the negative aspects, instead of just saying it's a 'fail' straight off.


No wonder Sparkey's so angry with you all the time, you don't help him, you just post in caps lock: OMG THAT BOT IS A FAIL WHY CANT YOU MAKE BOTS THAT ARE GOOD!


That does not help. Newbies cannot make as good a bot as you can, you've at it for years, and they've at it for... days? Maybe a couple of months?


My first bot I entered for a tourney was for IRL. It was a failbot, but I thought I was improving, making better bots, and then I made Blabber-mouth, which, I admit, does have a large chassis, but the chassis is PROTECTED at the front and sides.


And then I made what I thought to be my best bot yet, which was Son of a Banshee. I thought (and still think) that that is the best bot that I have ever made, but, yet again, all I got was 'OMG that is a failbot!!!'


I don't see why I bother to make bots. I came here so then you can tell me how to improve on the bots I make, and then make them to a good standard. People do not help by saying things like that.

Oh thought Zog built pretty good, I must be getting him confused with someone else.
Constructive criticisms:
Put the drive on the sides for turning radius-ness (I know I saw a place for it when I watched the video, I will have to look again)
Shrink the chassis
inevitably reduce the amount of batteries (There has to be waay to much juice in there).

ignore the negative people Zog, some vets just think they can talk down to people because they have been around longer and have had longer to improve. Everyone will have different skill levels in building robots.

i'm sure they built failbots back in the day too... we all did.

Yeah I was also really surprised when Mutant Kabuto won the next two rounds.  You dominated the first round so thoroughly.


Also G.K., Psychoblade IS seeded; if Scorpio has a rank it means he's been in previous BBEANS  ;)   All BBEANS veterans were seeded in the bracket before filling it in with all the rookies.


Anyways...


Round 1, part 3/4 is up!


It's a mix of good and bad this time.  Some awesome fights, and some not-so-awesome fights.  There's also one fight that could be rather controversial, though I tried to be as fair as I could about it.  Make sure to read the spoiler I wrote up for 1.8 vs. Minifridge 4.

Well,

I'm happy.  I didn't think it would be that easy but I knew that if didn't win this round, I probably wouldn't win the next match in the loser's bracket.  I highly doubt I can beat AtaxiA (although I have a better chance than I did beating Pita last season), but to be honest neither ZPN or Pyschoblade worry me, so its fine.)

Overall, the matches were okay, although one of them did surprise me.


 Thanks for the update Click

Some good matches, Click how come bisector drives like that?

Because of the way the drive is positioned in relation to the chassis.  I've noticed that if you have your drive mounted in front of your chassis, the bot doesn't drive straight (and, conversely, if your drive is mounted behind your chassis you don't drive straight in reverse--see Meteorite and 1.8).  It seems the further away from the chassis the drive is, the more extreme the effect.


I have plans for a Bisector III that has the chassis in the front rather than way in back, so it will drive straight.  But priority #1 is getting the matches recorded.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/84950MevsPwn.PNG)

1. I outwedge it.
2. It flies over the top

For my next fight, it'll be a pretty even draw against powerrave's Your Final Moment. My big worry: him knocking off my spikes and getting to my vulnerable chassis. My hopes: I knock off his drums and keep pounding on him, breaking his frontal armor in the process so I can get to his chassis.

I wouldn't worry too much.  After testing Stanley 2 against my LW Flipper, it gets flipped out only half of the time, and AntonYYYm's flipper is skinnier and probably weaker, but it's still faster.

I just hope you don't lose the round after, 'cause then you'll end up on the same side of the loser's bracket as me.

The Mini Warrior wins 2-1 with 1 KO and 1 TKO; AHHHHHHHHHHhh COME ON!!! gets 1 win by Havok forfeit.  Surprisingly, The Mini Warrior does most of the flipping in this fight, including two weird Havok explosions.

I don't think so Sparkles? Thats what click has as the result.

I'm confident about my next matchup. AoN does well against Bane, and That Spike Thing isn't even a flail spinner.

Looking at possible LB round 2 matchups for me.. some tough ones. Resentful Princess would probably be more of a threat while Death of Angles really depends on if AoN is fast enough to dodge the popup spikes on it's way up.

Post by: Naryar on June 24, 2010, 03:24:48 PM

ROUND 2 PREDICTIONS

ReActive over Sawzal: ReActive out-weapons Sawzal, enough said. Both have highly damaging weapons and Mike doesn't have any normals as well.
Power Surge over N-Trench: If THE best VS in the tournament can't do it, what can an fragile and normaled weapon one do ?
Death of Angels 2 slightly over Resentful Princess 2: The ultimate rivalry - popup VS flail shell spinner !!!1 The "meh" weapons on RP make me believe DoA2 will win, but i might very well be wrong.
What Sheck Spinner over Elle Driver: Elle Driver just doesn't have neither enough power nor weapons to take out WSS's multiple razors. Probable WBP but not sure.
Mutant Kabuto over New Ruin: Absolutely not sure about this one but i can tell Sonny's spinner is more poweful, plus has great weapons and is on flails.
Missile Test over Blood Orange: Missile Test is better equipped than my popup at fighting VS (certainly not against popups and shell though), and the armor will be more than enough to protect it as it searches BO's chassis. Not absolutely sure though, if MT breaks all it's weapons on the hammers and loses by points...
Minor Launch Platform MK2 over Guardian Angels: Even if GA's wedge is awesome on paper, it's slow enough so MLP can flank it and destroy that chassis.
Bane X over Blabber-mouth: RAPE TIME !
AtaxiA over Deinonychus: Most likely, though if Deinonychus's wedge is better and R0B0 gets gut-ripped i will laugh.
Biesector (probably) over Reier's Avatar 3: I think Biesector can get to that chassis fairly easily if he drives straight. If not, well then RA3 flanks, rips off wheels, extenders and wins.
Stanley 2 over AntonYYm: O FAGBOT BATTLE OLOLOLOLOL I don't think Stanley 2 will be as easy to toss OOTA as CGS was though... i might be wrong though.
S Cargo over Terrible Sight: Triple KO loss, here i come !
Predator over Primal Instincts X: Even if hammers are theorically a shell's worst nightmare, this is the LW division and a different thing. Doubt PIX will be able to rip off Joe's shell (though i would be HAPPY if Joe loses, for obvious reasons)
Claw Cube 3 over AAHH COME ON! Claw Cube 3 is obviously the best built. ACO has a snapper wedge, but really i don't see Sparkles getting under and winning by immobilization (don't get me wrong, it MIGHT happen)
Infection 4 over Trigger Happy: Skirt hinge VS metal hinge... and i bet Pwn spend more time on his wedge than Natef.

You're decent enough, but you should have used a better wedge still ! You knew there would be loads of metal hinged popups right ?

@Jonzu: Which one

Title: Re: BBEANS6 Brackets&Videos
Post by: Badnik96 on June 24, 2010, 04:04:50 PM

ROUND 1 LOSER BRACKET PREDICTIONS
TSOAN over Lil Eager v2- LEv2 is resilient but I have doubts...
Star Dust over Shish-Kebab- Star Dust can probably take the unprotected chassis on Shish-Kebab and tear it to shreds.
Moving Violation over Acornia-Acornia is a well-built bot but its speed could cause some gut-rippage by MV.
Final Z over BWST- weapons on flails vs weapons with normals. Easy 3-0 for me.
kill box over Precision Impact- I might be wrong on this oe, as PI could gut-rip Kill Box, but if the fight goes as I predict it should then kb will win.
Conficker over TTE- Conficker will probably break off all of TTE's weapons then win by points.
Blaze Line over Meteorite- It's a hinge wedge vs an axle wedge. Also Meteorite might be fast enough to pull a Rage III.
ZPN over Psycho-Blade - I might be wrong here, but singe Psycho's blade spins downwards it will catch on ZPN's wegde and then ZPN will be able to keep whacking Psycho until it's KO'ed. But Psycho might do enough damage before that to win, we'll have to see.
Tomcat over Trance Hazard- We didn't get to see Tomcat's ramming speed yet but my guess is that it will be fast enough to push TH around and either KO, OOTA by the hazards or a WBP.
KGY over Minifrigde- GK said Minifridge hated HS, so 027's HS will probably get 3 wins by havok forfeit.
Kurt Rambis over YFM: This might go in YFM's favor if he is a good gut ripper but if not then Rambis will break all of his weapons off.
Ice Tornado over CGS!- Ice Tornado is built by the Ounce, only way CGS! will win is by IT accidentally spinning into the blade or flippers.
BWMS over 4Head-  BWMS is better built, and a popup no less. 4Head might also pull a Rage III.
AON over TST...- AON is a speedy rammer, TST... is a poorly built HS. Go Figure.
Flux over ACO!!!!-Duh. If Sparkles' SFTW outwedges Flux I'll LOL
Hredder over Biridium- I nominate Biridium for BTRSHDBBDTL. Having to face two killer popups as a POKER in the first two rounds where he could have goten a nice HS and at least won one battle.

Claw Cube will still win though.

@Nary: What I meant before was that because Sparkey technically got 1 win (lost 2-1, not 3-0), so it avoids the magic 86th spot in BBEANS Standings.

Loser's bracket round 1, part 1/2 is up!  And brackets are updated.


And there seems to be some confusion over The Mini Warrior vs. AHH COME ON!!!.  For the record, a Havok forfeit only forfeits that one round of the fight, not the entire match.  It's just like any other type of win--if you get 1 win by Havok forfeit but your opponent gets 2 TKO's, you still lose.  So The Mini Warrior is moving on, not AHH COME ON!!!


But Havok forfeits don't count on the BBEANS rankings.  I don't keep track of those.  Reasons: it would be a lot of work going back and recording all of them from previous BBEANS, all the previous BBEANS have used different Havok restart rules, and wins by Havok forfeit don't really give any indication of how good your bot is.  It's more like your opponent losing than you actually winning.

Quote from: Naryar on June 24, 2010, 07:27:59 AM

Yes.

Because of some havok, that said... but wait. Is that the skirt hinge that havoks or the BSG ?

If you go through frame by frame, you can see that the hammer gets caught between the iron spikes and gets sort of twisted out of place.  When the BSG tries to snap back into place, it flings the bots everywhere.  I'm betting this only happens against AHH COME ON!!!

You never did your "5 Bots to Watch" and "5 Dark Horses" for this tournament. ;)

You're right, I thought about it but I was in a rush to get the splash up before I left and didn't have time.


It's a bit easier to make predictions now that I've done two rounds of fights, but here goes.


My top 5 picks for possible winners (in no particular order):
Death of Angels 2
S Cargo
Infection 4
Terrible Sight
AntonYYYm


Possible dark horses to watch out for:
AntonYYYm
Deinonychus
Claw Cube 3 (okay I'm cheating a bit here... I wouldn't have picked it at the start of the tournament, but that's a dark horse for you.)
AntonYYYm (naming it twice because I'm expecting it to do really well)
1.8 (I would've picked All Or Nothing at the start of the tournament, but based on current brackets I expect 1.8 to go further.  And 1.8 is almost but not quite as good as AON.)


Also: Wooooo the videos are getting past 50% now!  Still not fully uploading, but it's progress...

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.  :confused:   Is it just because they're easier to build?  In any case, they certainly make for entertaining matches.

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.

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.

I will double-check your smart zone... but I tend to always put the smart zone so the edge is perfectly aligned with the tips of the razors.  It's for that reason that I like AI'ing true popups.  Smartzone placement is a lot harder to get right on traditional popups.

GK did something like that in the BTTB Thread, I can't remember the name, though. It was a ridiculous acronym, much like the BTRSHDBBDDTBL award.
 
And I'm pretty sure that Roboshark's going into the third round, though with the recent upset, I won't hold anything out. I reckon I might be able to beat Deonychisus if I'm a little bit lucky. AtaxiA...I'm screwed.

Sage: I checked DoA's smart zone and it is indeed farther back than it needs to be.  :rage   I moved it up so the edge is at the tips of the razors now, but I don't think it affected your match with Resentful Princess enough to warrant a redo.

Post by: The Ounce on July 10, 2010, 08:29:55 PM

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.

Post by: Resetti's Replicas on July 10, 2010, 10:08:41 PM

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

Title: Re: BBEANS6 Brackets&Videos
Post by: Pwnator on July 10, 2010, 10:15:18 PM

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.

Title: Re: BBEANS6 Brackets&Videos
Post by: Badnik96 on July 10, 2010, 10:19:19 PM

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.

Title: Re: BBEANS6 Brackets&Videos
Post by: Pwnator on July 10, 2010, 10:21:53 PM

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.

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

Post by: The Ounce on July 10, 2010, 10:42:55 PM

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.

Post by: Wings on July 10, 2010, 10:59:44 PM

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.

It is unfair if you use a skirt hinge as armour, because if you compare it to the caster armour, you get much more protection for much less weight. And you can get it at an angle, casters are completely vertical.

Up against Moving Violation next, hmm? Should be able to rip his Piglet off early and KO him, but he might be able to gut-rip me. We'll see. So then it looks like I'm up against Power Surge according to the brackets. SNS are no problem, especially one with hammers and big wheels. OMNOMNOM. Then I'll lose to Resentful Princess if my predictions are right. But not a bad run for my first BBEANS.

"Killalot Drills are awesome" my ass!  Mutant Kabuto still put up a good fight though.

It doesn't seem clear to me who would win in my next match.  So far, Kurt Rambis has done surprisingly well in the L-B, and the skirt hinges only make it harder for Ice Tornado to KO, but I still have sweeping power (thanks to the weapon setup) and greater weapons.

Round 3 is up!  Wow, there were some great fights.  Tons of really close ones, and huge upsets left and right.  In fact, the real upsets this round are when things go as expected.


Also, we're at the point now where every round has 8 or fewer matches, so I won't be uploading any more rounds in parts.  That means the rankings will be updated with every new set of videos.

The one thing that Naryar didn't take into consideration: JoeBlo is a ninja. And he's also clutch.

And one more thing:

At this rate, we're going to have the most boring matches nearing the end of BBEANS. I have no idea how Bane  or Stanley passed the controlled movement test - none of my clones even come close to anything resembling controlled movement. If we get a Bane vs Stanley final, it will be the worst match of all time. Neither bot will come into contact with the other and the winner will be decided by who is in slot 1. I really hope that this isn't the case.

Scrap, I blame you for that ^ :P

nah due to them moving to avoid immobility they will probably bump into each other, a wall, the blade or maybe a flipper zone a couple of times, would still be boring though.

The shell spinners move a bit. If I believe correctly from what I remember, the shell on Stanley stops spinning when it is being counted out. Thus giving it movement capabilities (it just chooses not to use them :gawe:)

And just think, we were all telling Jonzu that he had no chance. I really think that the razor tips made the bot.

So far my votes:
Most feared, I would vote for myself, but I cannot (figured that I scared everyone enough when I showcased Stanley), but it would probably be Bane X

BTRSHDBBDDTBL: Conficker: Easy choice.

Best Rookie: Still not decided yet. Jonzu is in the running, but they are many other good rookies as well.

Coolest Bot (Artistic): Death of Angels 2. Period.

Coolest Bot (Original): Bisector. Its a new bot type pretty much, never seen a competent one of these before.

Title: Re: BBEANS6 Brackets&Videos
Post by: Badnik96 on August 04, 2010, 09:37:43 AM

Since Somebody did it, here are my decisions:

Most Feared: Bane X: 12 razors???

BTRSHDBBDDTBL: Biridium: ash could have gone further against different opponents, he had to fight 2 popups first though

Best Rookie: Missile Test: Ranked #1, it's obvious

Coolest artistic bot: Death of Angels 2: Also obvious.

Coolest design bot: Bisector.

I have no idea how Bane  or Stanley passed the controlled movement test - none of my clones even come close to anything resembling controlled movement.

I made a special .py for Stanley, Bane, and Predator.  The AI pulses the weapon motor on and off (the pulse length is customizable in Bindings) and while the weapon motor is off, the bot drives toward the opponent.  The weapon is only on constantly when the opponent is very close and the shell is at risk of being stopped.  If you look closely at the videos you can see those shell spinners take little "steps" toward the opponent (but Bane and Stanley also sit-and-spin when they get close, so you can only see them moving from far away or if the no-hits timer expires).  Also, the weapon motor turns off when they are being counted out.


Of course, a Bane vs. Stanley final will still be boring and I hope it doesn't happen... but the bots will hit each other.


Anyway, BOT: loser's bracket round 3 matches are up!


A few surprises and a lot of very close fights.  Altogether excellent matches.

Well, I kinda of upset that I lost to 1.8 but I'll say this to SSG, "Good game".  It was a close fight that had me at the edge of my seat and I'm glad I lost that way (instead of being totally outclassed like last season).

However, I'm glad Coolrunner's bot eliminated both bots that I did not want to fight for my first match in the loser's bracket.  I actually could win if I don't break my teeth or "terrible claws" on the irons and then tear that chassis or motors to pieces (maybe the skirt hinges might give me an advantage)

Thanks Click for the update.

Wow, this was a tight battle.  Reminds me a bit of the BBEANS4 final, and not just because one of the bots has a probably-not-coincidental resemblance to Hazardous Contraption.  There's parts breaking off, tons of hazard action, and more plot twists than a mystery novel.  There could stand to be a few more KO's... but it's still an excellent fight.

Jugglers all look the same anyways :/ I wouldn't clone, especially not in the biggest tourney of the year.

First Iron Tumbleweed gets screwed and now this?  Well maybe I'll get the BTRSHDBBDDTBL award, but I know it won't happen because no one ever votes for me.

Good luck in the next round Coolrunner!

Here are my predictions for Round three:

WB:

Match 1: Resentful Princess is deadly, but anything that has more individual weapons than a flail shell spinner can beat it, and since ReActive can also gut-rip opponents then ReActive is more likely to win this.

Match 2: Missile Test is too slow to put that heavy armor to good use.  Unless it can trap the shell spinner into a corner, Bane X will win.

Match 3: As we’ve seen in 1.8’s first match, it can be vulnerable to shell spinners.  Stanley 2, unlike Minifridge, has more weapons and doesn’t Havok, so it is my pick to win this match unless 1.8 can make some sort of comeback.

Match 4: Predator’s next opponent is a lot like its last… which it only managed to beat by luck.  Infection’s angled wedge will help it here, since Predator won’t be able to sweep away something that wide.  Predator might have a chance, but I still say Infection will beat it.

LB:

Match 1: VSs are easily capable of beating rammers/pushers, but WSS? has a few weapons in front, which can cause Star Dust to lose a few of its own weapons thus lose its balance.  Even if that happens I don’t think WSS? can cause enough damage to its opponent, so I’m leaning towards Star Dust for this one.

Match 2: Razors on flails beat hammers, so Final Z will beat Power Surge.

Match3: Guardian Angels managed to pull off a slight Razor Guy run back there, but AntonYYm is adept at throwing its opponents out of the arena.  I can see Guardian Angels lack of speed causing it to get flanked and eventually thrown out of the arena, putting AntonYYYm through to the next round.

Match 4: New Ruin’s weapon is strong, but as we saw with Missile Test, it won’t help much when its opponent is attacking from behind or underneath.  New Ruin can probably interfere with AtaxiA’s weapons with its own, but unlikely before AtaxiA has had its way with New Ruin’s chassis.

Match 5: Flail spinner vs flail spinner, so it all comes down to weapons.  Even with Minifridge’s havokiness (is that even a word?) and RA3’s undercutting action taken into consideration, Minifridge still outweapons Reier’s Avatar 3, and will likely win just because of that.

Match 6: I’m still pissed, especially since Ice Tornado can very likely beat its next 2 would-be opponents.  Wedge vs rammer match, but Deinonychus’ weapons look too wide to be able to hit the chassis of Kurt Rambis, and that’s not even taking into consideration those (gay) skirt hinges.  I see Deinonychus breaking its weapons and Kurt Rambis winning by points.

Match 7: The Mini Warrior didn’t do well in its last match against Infection 4, and I don’t think it will do well against a slower, skinnier version.  I see a 3-0 win for Death of Angels 2.

Match 8: Terrible Sight has a pretty good wedge, but we know how the BBEANS Arena affects wedges.  It could go either way, but the odds are for Terrible Sight.

I find it amusing and ironic that you beat S Cargo, which you thought you would lose to, and then lost to Predator, which you thought you would beat.  Look at it this way, you got 1 more win than you originally expected.

Quote from: Squirrel_Monkey on August 07, 2010, 09:07:06 AM

Damn hazards and AI driving fail (my fault really, it keeps doing that "drive into the disc guard at start" thing and gets off balance)

It needs a bigger radius to avoid doing that.  I would use 'radius':1, but you said you wanted it 0.1 so... that's what you get.  But really there's no guarantee that you would win even if Hredder didn't do that in round 1.

Title: Re: BBEANS6 Brackets&Videos

Title: Re: BBEANS6 Brackets&Videos
Post by: Clickbeetle on August 07, 2010, 01:02:09 PM

The bindings you originally sent had 'radius':0.3, and later you sent a pm saying that was a mistake and it should be 0.1.


If you want I'll try to fix the radius for the AI pack.  (This goes for What Sheck Spinner? too, as it does the same thing with hitting the center wall.)

THANK YOU FOR RUINING DSL MR. DADDY.

Somebody someone would have done it eventually, even if Scrap Daddy never made Iron Spaghetti.  Flail shell spinners have existed since very soon after DSL2 first came out (I should know, I made the first one), and it was only a matter of time until one appeared in a tournament.  I was actually quite happy when I got Iron Spaghetti for BBEANS4.  I thought, "Now everyone will finally see how good flail spinners are!"  I never expected them to become THIS prevalent, though.


Anyways, round 4 of the loser's bracket is up!  And we're down to the final 16 bots now (the top quarter, for those not so good at math or perhaps just lazy at math).  All I can say is, anyone still in the tournament at this point, you've done very well, even if you don't go all the way.

Oh, and a few other thoughts

Quote

Deinonychus sits on top of Kurt's carcass like a triumphant "gladiator" while Kurt is counted out.

 
More like a dinosaur, my bot is named after one.

Quote

In the third round Deinonychus loses hardly any teeth and quickly KO's Deinonychus,

I didn't know my bot could commit suicide.

Flux seemed to slide under pretty east at times...

And Clickbeetle, I think you made the wrong call in the Star Dust vs. WSS? match:

According to your rules, free restarts can ONLY be granted if ALL THREE of the conditions are met, which are controlled movement, sufficient battery, AND and undamaged control board. Since Star Dusts' control board was quite damaged I don't think it qualifies a free restart. So the fight should be scored 2-1 for SD with 2 KO's and 1 TKO for WSS.

As for me, revenge is sweet but championships are sweeter xD

Look again, Star Dust's control board was not damaged... its chassis was still at about half health, in fact.


Maybe I haven't clearly defined what a "damaged control board" is.  I intended it to mean when your chassis HP is depleted and the control board actually gets hit and makes that familiar kzzzzrkt sound.  So a bot only doesn't get a free restart if the little control board icon under its name is flashing yellow or red.

My mistake. In my mind, the control board and chassis are basically the same  - hit the chassis enough and the bot stops working.

Lets see I pop down to the winner of AntonYYYm vs. AtaxiA... I think AntonYYYm could have this with its speed. And then I hope I can take it down again. Then Final Z beats Star Dust, and then beats Predator. Then I take down Final Z, and face ReActive, which will be iffy at best for me. IF I win I get to most likely face Bane X, and one of us will go into the final against Infection 4.

In the best case scenario of course.

We're at the point now where there's pretty much no boring fights.  All the remaining bots are very good, and always make for exciting battles (at least until two slow shell spinners run into each other, but fortunately that doesn't happen until next round  :gawe: ).

I'm on a roll!  Winner's bracket quarterfinals and loser's bracket round 6 are up!


And we now have our final 8 bots.

Final Z is the only first-round loser still in this.  Actually it's amazing that there are ANY first-round losers still in this.


Death of Angels 2 and AntonYYYm are both second-round losers, which is also impressive.  And all three of these bots have the potential to go even further, I think.  (Either AntonYYYm or Final Z will get at least 1 more win.)


There are four veterans and four rookies among the final 8.  The winner's bracket semifinal is also rookie Virus Bomb against veteran Pwnator.  There are 3 flail HS's, 3 popups, 1 flipper, and 1 rammer in the final 8.  I couldn't ask for a more even distribution.  :mrgreen:   The championship is very much up in the air at this point.

Title: Re: BBEANS6 Brackets&Videos
Post by: NFX on September 06, 2010, 06:03:04 PM

There's definitely going to be an epic last few rounds to this tournament.

My predictions (probably wrong)

AntonYYYm beats Final Z 3-0 with 3 TKO's. Easily gets under the disc, flips it over, and then throws it OOTA each round.

Death Of Angels 2 beats Bane X 3-0 with 3 KO's. Bane X gets a few good hits in, but DOA2 just get underneath and hits the chassis every time.


Infection 4 beats Restful Princess 2 with 2 KO's. Restful Princess gets 1 KO, when it manages to take the angled panels off and get to the chassis, but the other times Infection 4 gets under RP2 and gets a couple quick hits to the chassis.


Death of Angels 2 beats AntonYYYm 2-1 with 2 KO's, AntonYYYm gets 1 TKO. First round, AntonYYYm gets under DOA2 and quickly flips it OOTA in two, but is unable to repeat that in the subsequent two rounds, and gets disposed of in a few quick hits by the popup spikes.

Death Of Angels 2 beats Restful Princess 2 2-1 with 2 KO's. RP2 gets 1 KO. DOS gets under RP2 in the first and second rounds, and hits the chassis until it dies, then in the third round, RP2 manages to take off the front skirts, and attack the chassis for a consolation victory.

Infection 4 beats Death Of Angels 2 2-1, with 2 KO's. DOA2 gets 1 KO. Infection 4 gets under DOA2's wedges for a quick win in the first round, then DOA2 gets under Infection 4 to pull one back, but Infection 4 manages to get the all-important final blow in the last round to become BBEANS 6 Champion.

Infection over RP2

Death of angels 2 over Bane X (Depends on DoA's SZ)

Final Z over Missile Test (beat it in testing, will repeat here.)
DoA 2 over 1.8

DoA 2 over Final Z

DoA 2 over RP2 (again depends on the SZ)

Infection over DoA 2

Rumble:
Final Z
RP2
Bane X
Missile Test

I have to give a lot of credit for my current success in BBEANS to JD, if he hadn't KO'ed me in round 1 i would have lost to DoA 2 in LB round 3. Thanks, my archrival. XD

PREDICTIONS

Infection gets under Resentful Princess and KO's it. Pwn wins

AntonYYYm gets under Final Z and throws it OOTA. Lloopp wins
Death of Angels isn't fast enough to get under Bane X and gets shredded. Urjak wins (unsure)

AntonYYYm's metal hinge gets under Missile Test's skirt hinge and sends it OOTA, Lloopp wins
Bane X out-weapons 1.8 and KOs it, ending the luckiest rammer run i have ever seen. Urjak wins.

AntonYYYm gets under Bane X and sends it OOTA, Lloopp wins

Infection gets under AntonYYYm and KOs it easily, or lloopp sends itself OOTA while self-righting. Pwn wins

WINNAR - PWNATOR !

If AntonYYYYYYYYYYYm can beat Stanley 2, it can beat Final Z as well. If it does, it should have no problems with Missile Test (Jonzu's reeeaaaaally lucky to get so far - no other bot has had more favourable matchups).
 
And LDL gets my vote for best rookie at this point. Sure he dosen't have the most wins, but of any of the rookies in this, he's taken out the strongest competition.

Rammers do not match up well against VS and HS, both of which 1.8 has taken out. Those aren't "favourable matchups" at all.

Loser's Bracket Round 8 is up!  This is the last of the numbered rounds.  From here on, it's all quarterfinals and semifinals and rumbles.


Also, we're down to the final 4 bots now!


Also also, since all the rounds consist of just one fight from now on, I'm thinking of doing some grudge matches, just for a bit of extra content to go with my tournament updates.  These won't be part of the BBEANS canon; they won't affect rankings and they won't be on the official site.  I'll just upload them to Youtube, kind of like the teaser match I posted before BBEANS6 started.


The grudge matches will involve bot pairs that should have fought in the tournament but didn't.  For example, Bot With MOVING Spikes vs. Bot with spinny thingy, Power Surge vs. Power Surge 3, Guardian Angels vs. Death of Angels 2, and Reier's Avatar 3 vs. S Cargo.  I'll probably post the first one on the next update.

Brown Wreckluse 2 also had a 4-2 record in BBEANS3.  However, 1.8 stayed longer in the winner's bracket so it was able to be in the final 6.  (BW2 was only final 12.)


Also, I believe Sage now has the most wins and the most KO's ever scored by a single bot in a single tournament.  No one has ever climbed so far out of the loser's bracket from a second-round loss.  From this one tournament, he will more than double his number of KO's.  I have only one thing to say.

GO MINNESOTA!  :gawe:

Sage will make it out of the losers bracket since Missile Test's weaknesses will show for the first time in this tourney, and if Pwn wins, then holy carp (yes, carp) I'll be |-| <-- that close from my predictions being right. I think VB has a really good shot at winning though.

Also, with Sage's next KO, he will move into sole posession of the all-time KO record with 42. Right now, he and I are tied at 41 each (although I did it in three tourneys, he's now had four).

More neat stats:

- If Sage advances, he will have the most wins in BBEANS history. He's currently tied with Firebeetle at 18.
- Clickbeetle holds the record for most losses with 12 - the highest possible total.
- Lloopp d lloopp is the all-time TKO leader with 15 (also the highest total in a single tourney). Phlox and Clickbeetle both have 14.
- MikeNCR and COOLRUNNER87 are the kings of WBP's, each with 7. Suprisingly with two BBEANS already under his belt, all of Mike's came in this tourney, as did COOLRUNNER's.

Loser's Bracket quarterfinal and winner's bracket semifinal is up!  Also two grudge matches: Bot With MOVING Spikes vs. Bot with spinny thingy, and Power Surge vs. Power Surge 3.


Oh, and don't miss Power Surge vs. Power Surge 3.  This is the first match that is incontrovertibly worthy of a 5-star rating so far this tournament.  Rather ironic that the first (and possibly only) 5-star match should be a grudge match...


So now we know one of our finalists, and the other one is just one battle away.


Also,

If Sage wins his next fight, he will be the first BBEANS competitor ever to achieve a score of 2 or greater :O

FOTEPX: it depends how much time I have.  I can't do all the grudge matches that are requested, but I will see if I can fit Acornia in somewhere (however, be aware that you might lose again.  Be careful what you wish for.  ;) )

Based on sheer weapon amount and defense alone, I don't think you would win against Ice Tornado. However, you might get lucky against AntonYYYm.

Not something that can really be applied over one tourney.

Loser's bracket semifinal is up, along with two more grudge matches: Reier's Avatar 3 vs. S Cargo, and Acornia 3 vs. ReActive.


FOTEPX wanted a match against any other bot, so I assigned a number to every bot, generated a random number, and came up with ReActive.  :trollface   I told you to be careful what you wish for... but seriously, the match is actually close.

Thoughts

Sage was confident during the last BBEANS.

It didn't work out.

If I remember correctly, Sage posted Death of Angels 1, and we all told him that it would never be able to get under shell spinners with its drive.

So he fixed it.

And it lost to a shell spinner.

Which has helped it break many records (and start an infinite paradox of records).

And now is in the final.

Which was Bumble Bee's point.

This will be the second time in a row that a rookie has not won BBEANS

People BAWWWed about all the flail shell spinners.

Not only were there more rammers than FSS.

Rammers were capable of beating the FSS (DAMMIT)

Popups were capable of beating the FSS (as both finalists have done)

And now a popup will win BBEANS for the second time in a row.

3rd time in a row for gutrippers in general.

And 4th time for a robot with some type of attack that needs to get under the other robot.

My thoughts are complete.

My thoughts are complete.

Popups are the dominant design in both stock and DSL, I think... a well-built popup can beat any other type of bot, while every other design has some sort of weakness.  A popup will only consistently lose to a bot with a better wedge, or a specialized popup-killer that can't beat anything else besides a popup.


The only reason anyone still builds non-popups is because the game would get boring if it turned into Popup Arena 2.  And probably also because it's harder to build a good popup than a good HS.  We need variety.  If everyone was focused purely on competitive ability and not originality or coolness, I think all the bots would be popups.


The reason why more BBEANS haven't been won by popups was because we haven't really reached the pinnacle of popup design until recently.  Even so, BBEANS1 and 4 both had a popup as the runner-up.


But for some reason people don't BAWWW about popups as much as they do about HS (unless said popups have narmor)... I don't understand it.


Actually popups occupy the real-life niche of wedge bots like Devil's Plunger and Original Sin.  Look at most RFL tournaments; shell spinners like Megabyte will dominate most of the tournament, but they will consistently lose to a good wedge.  The only difference between real life and RA2 is that in RA2, the wedges have weapons.  Which is maybe why people don't BAWWW about them.

Title: Re: BBEANS6 Brackets&Videos
Post by: COOLRUNNER87 on September 21, 2010, 10:20:46 PM

Here's an interesting stat for ya:

The winner of Infection 4 vs. Death of Angels 2 will be the new #1 overall seed in the BBEANS standings.

If Sage wins, he becomes 1st and Pwnator falls back to 4th (behind Sage, MikeNCR, and R0B0SH4RK).

If Pwnator wins, he becomes 1st and Sage falls back to 2nd.

Post by: Naryar on September 22, 2010, 03:16:10 AM

Best hit in BBEANS6 so far : Power Surge Rammer getting Power Surge SnS OOTA in one hit.

Title: Re: BBEANS6 Brackets&Videos
Post by: NFX on September 22, 2010, 04:22:24 AM

The final is going to be awesome.

Or it'll end up as a quite dull wedge stalemate.

I doubt that will happen though. =)
 

I actually think that Sage could win this. The ploy skirts on his wedges seem wide enough apart to allow Pwnator's single front wedge to pass between them, then DOA would get under the angled front panels on the skirt hinge, lifting Pwnator up and gutripping it for the win. Even so, I still think Pwn could get a couple of good hits in, and maybe a KO, but I still think Sage is going to take the title.

Title: Re: BBEANS6 Brackets&Videos
Post by: Pwnator on September 22, 2010, 04:41:53 AM

I doubt it would be a dull wedge lockfest, since both are true popups (so the main wedge will get torn off after some shoving).

I hope Infection still has its ninja skillz.

Title: Re: BBEANS6 Brackets&Videos
Post by: Naryar on September 22, 2010, 04:44:22 AM

It really all will depend on driving... but since Terrible Sight's wedge is roughly equal to Infection 4, Sage probably has the better wedge.

What is BBEANS 7 gonna be, again?

Title: Re: BBEANS6 Brackets&Videos
Post by: NFX on September 22, 2010, 09:31:07 AM

Assuming there is a BBEANS 7, it'll probably restart the cycle again, and we'd have Stock MW.

Title: Re: BBEANS6 Brackets&Videos
Post by: JoeBlo on September 22, 2010, 09:38:21 AM

there is lots of possibilities in the air, SHW class, insect classes, restart the cycle, realistic stock, DSL 3 (ok so that last one might be a bit far fetched.. depends on the progress Click manages to make on it)

but let us wait for this one to conclude first  :gawe:

I'm not sure a BW or AW BBEANS would go too well, unless it was in DSL. And even then it might not be as good as a LW tourney. I think the SHW route might be okay, though.

The finals, rumble, special Champion's rumble (featuring the BBEANS6 Champion, Firebeetle, Naryar, and MikeNCR), and the LAST two grudge matches (Terrible Sight vs. AtaxiA and That Spike Thing... vs. Bot with spinny thingy, both by request) are up!


And that concludes BBEANS6.  The awards thread will be up shortly.  Wow, it's almost hard to believe it's really over... that was a lot of videos I had to record.  It almost became like a daily routine.


Congratulations to

the winners.  ;)

As for those wondering about BBEANS7.  I actually haven't given it much thought.  It could be a simultaneous AW/BW tournament (real life events allow multiple weight classes after all), or if I'm going the simultaneous classes route, it could be stock LW/MW/HW where you pick one or two classes to enter.  Even if I get DSL3 mostly done by the time I'm ready for BBEANS7 though, I don't think I'll do a DSL3 BBEANS, because BBEANS6 was just DSL.  I'd like to do something stock.


Or, depending on how popular it is, I could do a Backlash BBEANS...


On another note, I may do something totally new and unrelated to BBEANS.  I have some other interesting tournament ideas I might like to try out.  Don't think that means I would permanently stop BBEANS, though.


Long story short: BBEANS7 = I don't know.  (I know that won't stop rumors from spreading though.)

Title: Re: BBEANS6 Brackets&Videos
Post by: GoldenFox93 on September 25, 2010, 06:43:53 PM

Hopefully BBEANS7 will be in Stock. I'm a bit better there IMHO. Mr Punch failed anyway, so why bother in DSL?

And hopefully, less place-thieving n00bs will pop up out of nowhere to steal places before disappearing again  XD

It must be because when I was making that fancy intro, I was paranoid that WMM would randomly crash and I would lose half an hour of work, so I saved the project file and called it justincase, as in just in case a crash happens.  (Incidentally, none did, but I bet if I didn't save it would have crashed.)  Then it must have put that name somewhere as a "title".

the simulated destruction amount could positionally cause a lot of luck based results.. probally not something suited for the most prestigious tournament.. we could have a bracket full of ItI runs.

These finals make me cringle really. Radius fail.

So cheap really. While Sage's victory was somehow expected, In EVERY SINGLE MATCH but one I4 fails, gets stuck in the hazard  and gets flanked, making his victory MUCH easier. Click you really should have fixed that >:O

And i got OUTWEDGED by R0B0 ???? :FFFUUU

Oh well, at least i won the champion's rumble :P But pretty disappointed by my little robot there still !

^agree with nary.

Bugged me as well, but what's done is done, and I still think that Sage had the better bot, and so Congrats to him.

lost by running into the Hazard and being flanked so REVENGE.

What you guys are complaining about is just a design advantage for DOA2, because it is skinnier. Infection could have won a match or two because of its wideness, the same way that DOA lost to Resentful Princess because of its skinny wedge. If DOA2 had been wider, it would have hit the same problems, but may have beaten robots like Resentful Princess.

No ! What we are talking about is a radius fail, that did NOT happened in I4's previous matches !

Title: Re: BBEANS6 Brackets&Videos
Post by: Somebody on September 26, 2010, 09:58:55 AM

What I am saying is that even if DOA2 had the same radius, it wouldn't get caught because it is skinny! The wideness is something Pwn gave it to help it combat certain types of robots. Sage chose not to make it wide, sacrificing what I4 has, but being built more towards the arena, which would allow it to go close to the center without hitting it as often.

*Points at Hredders width*
I had radius issues (Which were my fault but still prove that DoA2 wasn't TOO skinny)

honestly I have watched the matches yet :P (been to busy) but the radius value can be changed depending on a robots width SB  ;)

but really its all done so why bother debating it.. its going to achieve nothing :P

Title: Re: BBEANS6 Brackets&Videos
Post by: Sage on September 26, 2010, 10:40:30 AM

The radius of the bot is based on the chassis. If the chassis is small and the front of the bot is super wide or long with wedges or armor (like infection) then it's going to get caught. Pwn didn't test his bot in the arena enough to figure out this disadvantage. The wall counts as a hazard, so you have to build to the arena. Also, the floor is different on this arena than on other arenas, meaning the wedge tweaking is different. All this was took into consideration when I built DOA. It's not Clickbeetle's job to fit the arena to the robot. He gave us the arena to test in, so it should have been used for testing. Don't rant Naryar! :)

Post by: Pwnator on September 26, 2010, 10:14:13 PM

Actually, I would've easily avoided the hazards had I4 used Mag drive. I opted for NPCs (since it IS a rebuild of Infection 2) and it actually made my wedge better. So I did expect the skirts to snag some time, and it just so happened that it did during its match again DoA2. So it's all good. Runner-up's still an awesome award. :P

Congratz to Sage, Pwnator, Virus Bomb and all others who did well, and those who made the tournament entertaining.

And (I can't believe no one has done this) a HUGE thank you to Clickbeetle for making this not only the largest, but the best (no offence other hosts) tourney in RA2. I'm confident that this community would be dead without you. Thanks once again!

Infection's radius issues can't really be fixed.  I did try making it bigger, but it seems like no matter how big it is, it will inevitably hit the center wall on occasion.  Less frequently perhaps, but the issue can't be totally avoided.  Also, using a bigger radius causes it to make much wider turns, which causes a whole new set of problems.  In the end, I decided to leave the AI as is, because that is how Pwnator AI'd it and that is how it's been for the whole rest of the tournament, and Death of Angels proved that it can still beat Infection even if Infection doesn't make any driving mistakes.

Double post: the final cumulative rankings are up, and the hall of fame has been updated!


The top of the rankings stayed surprisingly stable, with one notable exception (Sage).  There were more upheavals in the lower parts.  It should be noted that some people went down in rank even though they went up in score.  Don't be alarmed at this; it's simply because there are more total competitors now (notice the bottom rank is #112; it used to be #86).  The score is probably a more accurate portrayal of your success than the number rank.


Score scale that I just made up for fun:


0: Either you are very unlucky, or not very good.
0.1 - 0.25: You have what it takes to win, you just need to do it more often.
0.25 - 0.5: You can go far in the brackets, but you always run into R0B0 or Sage or somebody earlier than you wanted.  Next time, maybe you'll go all the way...
0.5 - 0.75: Good enough to consistently knock out several opponents in every tournament.  One of these days you'll get that amazing run that puts you in the top 20.
0.75 - 1: Great score.  This is the realm of quarterfinalists, semifinalists, and those who consistently rack up a few wins over several tournaments.  Good chance of performing exceptionally well in future BBEANS.
1-1.5: AMAZING score.  You must have at least 4 more wins than losses to get a score of 1, which is no small feat.  If you're not already a champion, you could very well become one.
1.5 - 2: You pretty much need to be a champion to be this good, unless you're R0B0.
2 and up: WHAT IS THIS MADNESS HOW CAN ANYONE HAVE SUCH A SCORE?
