Just noticed RIBBS entered a cubed Sky High, that is the only bot I am not afraid of.

Pwnator · « **Reply #161 on:** July 04, 2009, 10:54:26 PM »

Careful there, his original version can still throw bots OOTA.

R1885 · « **Reply #162 on:** July 04, 2009, 11:03:17 PM »

Actual, thats the first version, the wider one is the newer one.

Sky High can easily send HWs to the roof with ease, and can do devastating damage.

Pwnator · « **Reply #163 on:** July 04, 2009, 11:07:09 PM »

Hence, the name. :P

Bob N' Bill are still so frickin' cute. :3

True.

Sage, do you know how to AI and have the ability to record and post videos? Would you be willing to let me have another chance at Mammoth with Surprise! v2?

Sure.

HurricaneAndrew · « **Reply #166 on:** July 04, 2009, 11:46:36 PM »

Well, alright then. Schedule for me and Sage.

Just need to tweek the bot and will send it asap.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #167 on:** July 04, 2009, 11:50:09 PM »

ok then, in that case I will upload the LRA2 grudge match video(s) now

HurricaneAndrew · « **Reply #168 on:** July 05, 2009, 12:37:23 AM »

Surprise! v2 has been sent.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #169 on:** July 05, 2009, 12:44:47 AM »

Surprise! v2 has been AI'd :-)

JoeBlo · « **Reply #170 on:** July 05, 2009, 01:34:10 AM »

update the first grudge match video is up, Judgement Day

features Viper vs LRA2, Yayoi vs LRA2 and one extra match with LRA2 (promise that one is worth the watch lol)

its on the wild card bracket and pretty hard to miss

H@zm47 · « **Reply #171 on:** July 05, 2009, 01:36:53 AM »

Cool idea with the interactive showcase/splash JoeBlo :D
Some very cool looking entries here, congrats RIBBS for chaining dual perms.

Entries I'm scared about:
Head Chef (that said, I'd love to see a fight between him and Exponential Decay just for fun :P)
Grindhouse
Scramjet
Blade Wave
Timber
Faaip De Oiad
Total Controversy

<3 Bob 'N Bill :D

Pwnator · « **Reply #172 on:** July 05, 2009, 01:44:29 AM »

Again, my angled VS was specialized to take out shell spinners and some SnS. But I think my chances of beating those are quite low here, even though I beat 2 Steel Meatballs with it.

COPE's scary, but if I face him I might have a slightly better chance of winning. Both HCs and Exponential Decay however, will most likely beat me.

And yes H@z, Bob N' Bill = <3 <3 <3. XD

@ Judgement Day:

NOW THAT IS A PROPER B5-C PILOT! <3

PURE OWNAGE
COID sucks. Face it LRA2
Awsome vid JoeBlo

R0B0SH4RK · « **Reply #175 on:** July 05, 2009, 02:19:45 AM »

This will not be an easy tourney. I should be able to beat anything that carries low horizontal kinetic energy. There's a lot of hidden chassis' too (like Mammoth), so I'm not sure about my chances.

PREDICTIONS!

Dark Matter - Pwnator
- Solid VS, and I think the chassis is elevated. Mako-style wedges are becoming out-dated though, and it has enough exposed components. Good gut-rippers and high-KE spinners will give it problems.

Trap Master & Decoy - Doomkiller
- They don't look too bad, and they wouldn't be against other 600 kg bots, but they might get out-wedged and out-weaponed by biger SHW's. No easy matches for these fellows.

Please Die - Flying Chao
- Not that great for a SHW rammer. It's fast, but it might get gut-ripped and have it's wheels torn off. That being said, it might be able to box-rush some high-KE spinners and cause them problems.

Super SnS - Somebody
- A high-KE spinner with an awkward shape renders it nearly un-pittable. A tough opponent, but if anything can get under it, those extenders look mighty vulnerable.

Total Controversy - RedlineM203
- A "true popup" as Naryar says (personally, I just think it's a flipper), it is one of the cooler looking bots. It's quite brittle and probably not very damaging, so any spinners can cause it problems. Depending on it's wedges though, it might cause lesser weges problems.

Shinigami - Craaig
- I like it, but I can't see it doing well. It will have trouble landing hits on opponents, while it will easily get flanked. It's only chance for a win is against something like Sage's Mammoth.

Xenophobik Resurrektion - Condor33
- Wedgeless VS's tragically rarely work. It might tumble over opponents for a few wins with 200 kg of hammer on each blade, but it could also catapult itself OOTA. It might still be able to prey on low-KE HS's though.

Hypercube 2 - Russian Roulette
- With fairly low KE, it might fall victim to gut-rippers. With plenty of razors though, it might also out-weapon other spinners, or get a few WBP's.

Cube of Pure Evil - SomeStrangeGuy
- Ummm... wtf? SSG's creations are usually bizarre, and this is no different. I think that the weak blades and low KE will allow gut-rippers to disarm it, bot other than that, I have no idea how it will fare.

Grindhouse - MikeNCR
- It looks cool, but it also looks underweight, not very wedgy, brittle, and short on weaponry. I hope it does well, but it probably won't.

Mad Box's True Form - Trumpetguy
- With a big chassis, exposed motors, and an oddly positioned drive, its only hope is to out-weapon any opponents and tumble to victory. I don't see it being able to do that though.

Lament Configuration - Jack Daniels
- It might be decent, but I don't think it will be able to scoop up its opponents well enough to do serious damage. Those it can't scoop will probably out-weapon it, and those that it can't will probably get under it. I question it's wedges too.

Head Chef - Scrap Daddy
- I was going to criticize SD on entering another flail shell spinner, but then I realized that I entered my fourth straight DSL popup. It won't do as well as the one in RAW, because it carries low KE and is quite gut-rippable.

Hellish Charm - Urjak
- See convieniently located above post.

Exponential Decaay - H@ZM47
- Copypasta: See convieniently located above post.

Sky High - R1885
- Another bot that I have no idea on. If it gets toppled though (quite a real possibility), it's doomed because chained motors won't get spinning with any resistance.

Timber - Clickbeetle
- Cool, but it will have to get quite lucky to win a match. It might be okay if it has good wedges, and it might be able to take out some low-KE spinners too.

Faaip de Oiad - R0B0SH4RK
- Heavily armoured and wedgy, it relies completely on gut-ripping. It won't be out-weaponing anybody here anytime soon. If everything goes to plan though, it won't need to.

GTFO Me - LiNcK
- High KE and strong weapons, it will probably run into the same problems as Mad's Daisy Might did in RAW. Also, slow drive and its design leaves it quite vulnerable to underbelly attacks.

Blade Wave - Naryar
- The only thing that would worry me about this bot are it's long, narrow base and what happens when it goes ass-over-teakettle. Manoeuverability might be an issue, and Naryar's never been one to worry about invertibility. I just hope it has worse wedges...

Scramjet - Reier
- There's not really much to analyze. It's just a big WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL of the strongest weapons in the game. Simple, crude, and effective.

Bob & Bill - Man Manu
- Pwnator likes them, but the truth is is that they might be the weakest entrant into this tourney. I have MW VS's that are more powerful...

Destiny - System32
- It's fast with high KE, but it has pretty vulnerable wheels and undersides. It also might be out-weaponed by other bots here.

Mammoth - Sage
- The ultimate gut-ripper un-friendly bot, its chassis is nearly impervious to all attacks. It does have weak exposed extenders however, as well as vulnerable wheels. The only ways to beat this are immobilities and WBP's.

Top 5 (no particular order):
Scramjet
Blade Wave
Faaip de Oiad
Exponential Decay
Dark Matter

Head Chef and Super SnS could also be up there.

EDIT: Also, you made a typo in the Judgement Day video, JB. It's "accept your loss," not "except your loss." Use "except" when you want to exclude something (eg: "I like all bots except somebody's")

If we're trying to teach him, we might as well teach him correct grammar too :P

H@zm47 · « **Reply #176 on:** July 05, 2009, 02:57:16 AM »

@R0B0: I sacrificed the use of iron spikes and chose razors instead to put titanium sheets on the underside of Exponential Decay to reduce it's susceptibility to gut-ripping.

Probably won't make much of a difference though...

HA v Sage rematch is now up on the wild card bracket

Scared of what I think myself is a possible SFTW? :| I had to update to v2 just to have (damaging) weapons.. and not much even then.

me and viper has no proof of who won.

me and CFTW was slightly unfair cause COID was still moving but for some reason got counted out so i should of won.(since i fliped CFTW)
