Yugi probably named the file after the actual name of the bot. My best bet would be to go to Look and Layout on your Forum Profile and check the "Leave words uncensored" box if you wanna see it.

But yeah, I think Thrack, Badger, and myself have a pretty good chance at this. This will be interesting.

Good to hear you're anticipating the matches. I was hoping to get round 1 out today but life got in the way but, I would like to plow through the main bulk, tomorrow.

With that, the brackets now become spoilerific. Btw, if you're not familiar with how Swiss brackets work, the brackets try to match up opponents with the same/similar record. It's meant to be so that those in the higher end of the bracket will be fighting each other at all times and same for the lower end. Considering Swiss is meant to be a quick version of Round Robin, it makes sure that no competitor has an advantage by only beating the poor scoring competitors. Just thought I'd get that explanation out of the way.

Round 2 will be tomorrow, hopefully.

Post by: Badger on July 09, 2016, 08:11:21 PM: The first video is out! PogChamp

Looking forward to round 2.

Not a fan of the matchup, hopefully I'm wedgier than a moving wedge.

Considering my luck with wedges, you'll most likely win.

Considering IIRC I didn't test or tweak this bot's wedges like I usually do, I'm not confident.

Post by: Thrackerzod on July 09, 2016, 09:29:15 PM: I feel like I could have won my third round if the AI didn't decide, "hey lets just go sit on top of the other guy thatll be fun" But hey, it's RA2. I actually donno how well Furious Maceration will do against something as huge as The Nightmare in the next round.

It'll kick my ass that's what it will do.

Or a bit sooner.

Title: Re: Bizarro World - SBV
Post by: Thrackerzod on July 09, 2016, 10:33:52 PM: Well, that went well. I think I should be able to win my next match too, since playzooki's bot doesn't have a wedge, but anthyding can hadplen.

Speaking of wedges, I just noticed that RedAce's bot is skinned like a Stock wedge. Nice.

Post by: Badger on July 10, 2016, 02:19:30 PM: These fast uploads are great. Thanks yugi!

WO is built like a bloody tank, I don't think anyone is going to KO it. Is it just me, or is the AI extra retarded on this arena? So many times that just drive directly into a wall, away from an opponent.

Seems kinda that way to me too.

Post by: Jet-speed on July 16, 2016, 04:47:04 PM: Catching up late again.

Tfw your wedges are pure ass but you can still plow cheese HS'. Should have parodied Handsoap instead, fokin Samurai swords have been useless for over 10 years why did I expect anything different now.

With that, the main bulk of the tournament is over and the winner is

Badger!
Congratulations and commiserations to everyone else for their respective places. If you want any exhibition matches or rematches, let me know and I'll have them done. Deadline for requesting these matches will be the 6th. Thanks to everyone that entered!

Personally, I'll be doing a rematch between Badger and RedAce because both bots did extremely well and RedAce had the best points difference in the tournament as he won every match 2-0 with the exception of losing one fight to the eventual champ 2-1. So, to me, that seems like a very good mandate for a rematch to see if RedAce could have possibly won the tournament if things went his way against Badger. Again, congratulations to RedAce on a super strong run throughout the tournament and congratulations to Badger on being the only one to beat him!

Actually, thinking on those lines, Thracker did rather well to be the only one to beat the champ, haha. Seems like there was a rock-paper-scissors thing going on here. I'll add that triple threat to the exhibition match list, too.

If possible, let me know your favourite bot and/or favourite match :)

Post by: Badger on August 03, 2016, 10:57:52 PM: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

First tournament victory, thanks to yugi for finishing this off. Really happy with my bot as well, love the design. I'd like to see a rematch against bot RedAce and thrackerzod, personally.

And, with that done, I'm done with this tournament. An awards thread won't be necessary but thanks, again, to everyone that entered and congratulations to the top cut!
