Blades of Glory: Splashes, Brackets and Videos

guys stop whacking him. He entered a bot, which is more than half of the guys whacking him can say.

Funny story actually, I wanted to enter but spots got wasted with half-baked IRL robots.

I was going to enter, I just needed to build something in my free time.

Also, don't get on Deinemutter's case for quality control. If it was only avalanche who'd dunnit then I wouldn't have cared, but 4 other people wasting tournament spots?

[Elementos]

Seriously Deinemutter, quality control your entrants next time. You can't mix IRL and DSL-S unless there's something really interesting built into it, like having a tag-team competition where one bot is IRL and the other is DSL-S.

hold on a second, that's given me an idea

Already got a tag team tournament idea for after this one haha

[Elementos]

Guys, can we just get over the whole IRL bots thing? All this needless arguing is really spamming the topic full of nonsense.

[cephalopod]

Entries look interesting - my hopes are high :)

I must say though, on the topic of IRL bots, that it's a shame because people would enter Standard bots, but didn't get given the chance. Think about that, guys that entered an IRL bot - you know full well you won't win, you just took someone else's spot when we hardly get any Standard tournaments now.

Thank you DeineMutter for running this, I can't wait to see the outcome - just don't take any of this controversy to heart :)

[Naryar]

So many jugglers/ angled spinners. And so many IRL bots in a standard tournament... whyyy

Also rooting for Silver Shark because it's the coolest and one of the best as well. Though Helloface's bot is nice as well.

Lol, and here I thought Excel S was DSL-S... good gawd, gotta read up on that. 

So that means my bets are probably gonna be on Cutting Wedge IV for winning this since Excel's gonna get knocked out in the first round... Looks like a pretty good design, if a bit frail.

[Avalanche]

Deine was the host he could have asked for true DSL S and he said nothing about it. DSL was built for realism not instant death machines. We have stock for that. Hell, he could give my spot up now and ask for entrys again. £10 says no cares given by anyone. Rant over. Anyways, this is gona be a tough group.


Swearing removed - please don't do it again.

Well, I should be uploading bouts by the weekend. Expect vids by Monday at the latest.

When I pulled the names I was quite worried about CW as my bot is a popup's lunch. Still, gonna be an interesting group.

Yeah, I was actually wanting to enter. Would've been nice to get to actually be competitive on a decently level playing field for once.

In that case, can I send a bot?

The discussion topic for the tourney was posted like 5 months ago and signups had been open for 2 weeks before they closed. Seems like plenty of time to make and enter a tourney that you wanted to enter.

That's exactly what I was going to say but I just didn't want this banter to continue. *Sigh*

Update:

In other news, plans changed and so I decided not to procrastinate and actually start recording. I must have lost track of time however because I found myself several hours later, with all group fights been recorded. I starting typing an update for this thread, and I realised how stupid I sound, narrating my life. (Enough of that).

Just waiting for some judges decisions from Senstro, then I can get round to editing and posting the first 24 bouts. This stage went moderately well, Fraps actually worked for once and the amount of havoks were slim. (I will post these also). I will also post the tables from the groups, and dependent on what Senstro thinks, there may be some shocks . Not saying anymore than that, except that the main bracket will be posted at around the same time.

Thanks,

Yeah, it was in discussion for a while, but if it was in sign-ups for two weeks, fine. All I know is I have a life outside of GTM to tend to and I can't sit and constantly watch for tournaments.

Either way, that's still beyond the point. We have plenty of IRL tournaments for people to enter without them taking up spots in standard tournaments.

All Group 1 Bouts are up. This is what The table stand at: (MAJOR SPOILERS)

1. The Riddler 12 points
2. OTR            9  points
3. Shrapnel    6  points
4. Mr. Bio        4  points

So, Mr. Biohazard and Shrapnel are Eliminated. The Riddler and Off the Rails Progress to the Group 1 winners/Group 2 winners 4 way melee.

Hey, for my next fight can I be switched to pusher.py?

I guess.

Really as you didn't AI it yourself you shouldn't ask for it to be changed or complain about it.

Or if he didn't specify a certain .py to begin with.

I wasn't really complaining I was just asking.
