Whoopee! XD

I will beat you eventually.

Pwnator · « **Reply #181 on:** June 12, 2010, 05:17:33 AM »

Yeah, in BBEANS. I think.

3rd time lucky?

Brackets are updated.

Predos anyone?

Doomkiller vs. Pwnator: I'm gonna give this to Pwn. Frontal armour should stymie DK's spinners, and then it's just a case of getting through those ramplates. Just don't pull a Rage III.
090901 vs. Naryar: Again, depends on wedges, but I think Nar might win this one. Big hits will probably beat consistently damaging here.

Pwnator vs. Naryar: Really not sure about this one. On instinct, after watching my epic failure (=P) I'd say Pwn. 6WD Rammer's got a

of a lot of force behind it.

Somebody vs. Pwnator: I think I will give this to Somebody. I can sense Pwn riding up Somebody's wedges, possibly being stopped by the ramplates, but eventually a Rage III will occur.

Somebody vs. Ounce: Pretty much a carbon copy of the Winner's Bracket Final, really. Ounce 4 Champ. =P

Did my barely average bot brought down a top stock builder ? :OOO

Pwnator · « **Reply #186 on:** June 12, 2010, 06:46:33 AM »

Barely average? That's one of the best hammers I've seen! :P

Naryar · « **Reply #187 on:** June 12, 2010, 06:49:16 AM »

I call that a popup/wammer hybrid... plus it drives like fail

And your bot should NOT have been AIed with rammer.py ! It's the second AI failure i see for wammers !

Pwnator · « **Reply #188 on:** June 12, 2010, 06:50:49 AM »

Popup? O_o

And it uses OmniRam. :P

Naryar · « **Reply #189 on:** June 12, 2010, 06:54:42 AM »

OmniRam uses Shove... aka the same tactic as Pusher.py (that is close enough to rammer.py). My point is that wammers need Engage tactic, not ram back and forth. At least against wedges.

Yes, i consider my bot a popup... well it's not like the generic popup, but it doesn't exactly attacks the top of bots like a real hammer does

Good match Ounce. Hope I get more luck if I meet you in the final.

G.K. · « **Reply #191 on:** June 12, 2010, 12:26:44 PM »

I plan to release the AI (And arenas, if Joe and Sage allow) when the tournament is over.

"ZOMGLOL THAT GIMP GF93 FINALLY LOST HIS BOT SUCKED ANYWAY LOL"

I literally don't know why I bother entering tournaments if people hate me for winning and consider me losing the greatest moments in tourney history.

What the are you talking about nobody ever said anything like that. Take pride in your robots, embrace them, try to convince others that they are semi-acceptable even though you know that they are not (Like I did with Ripterra). And if you do not like thae level that your robots are at, and you dont know how to fix it, get showcasing and it will help.

Well, that was more typed in a blind rage really, seeing as that mistake involving spinner layout meant I didn't even win a round, even losing to Jonzu of all people.

And I do have a showcase, but I haven't updated it in a while. Might post something soon, though.

Somebody · « **Reply #193 on:** June 12, 2010, 12:45:05 PM »

And remember, it could be a good bot, and not win, or be a bad bot and win.
Chernobyl was a good bot and did below expectations in BBEANS 5.
Psyco Sweeper was a poor bot and matched the record of Chernobyl in BBEANS 4.
Its all in the matchups!
For another example, either The Mini Warrior or AAAAAAAHHHHHhh COME ON are going to fin a match, and neither would have a chance against pretty much any other bot.

You got a bad matchup against Jonzu, because he went for the tougher weapons instead of armor.

NFX · « **Reply #194 on:** June 12, 2010, 01:26:18 PM »

It is a lot to do with matchups. Like in Wild Robots 2, I got some lucky matchups in the first round, but Pwnator got possibly one of the toughest brackets against ACAMS, meaning I got through to the second round and Pwn didn't, even though Pwn's bot was probably a lot better than mine.

GoldenFox93 · « **Reply #195 on:** June 12, 2010, 01:43:38 PM »

Maybe I'll rebuild it to Starcore standards sometime. I've got the v3 version, so maybe I'll try to learn from them.

The Ounce · « **Reply #196 on:** June 12, 2010, 03:26:51 PM »

I honestly think that I'm going to lose to Naryar in the grand final. CBD clearly has the best wedges in this tournament (though if this were in the Combat Arena, NF would rape), and I don't think I could get lucky like I did in round 2. Anything can happen though.

G.K. · « **Reply #197 on:** June 12, 2010, 03:32:02 PM »

That's providing Naryar reaches the final.

G.K. · « **Reply #198 on:** June 12, 2010, 04:05:47 PM »

DP: Would anyone mind if I uploaded several rounds tomorrow, at the same time?

090901 · « **Reply #199 on:** June 12, 2010, 04:15:46 PM »

I have no problem with that.
