Kinda already got a poll though. Unless there are any objections or better names (and NO BAWWWWING), I am going with Clash of the Titans.

Hmmm a little intro video at the beginning of each match (like CC1) is popping into my head piece by piece...

best of 3, 3 minute Deathmatches.


This is almost too long even with LW's.  With UHW's... you could be talking over-15-minute fight videos here, without heavy editing.


Also, keep in mind that bots with more components are laggier.  So something with a lot of heavy hammers and Overkill wedges and whatnot won't be too bad.  Some of 123savethewhales's UHW's, on the other hand, would be VERY laggy.  I remember him talking about some flamethrower UHW that was so laggy it crashed the game.


Also, name suggestion: Legendary Awesome Giants (L.A.G.)

I have an idea for this! Might take a while to build though as my computer dislikes anything heavier than a SHW with a passion XD

As I said earlier, flamethrowers need to be banned.  Do you really want to take 15 minutes to load up a match, a 2 minute match lasting 20, only to find the game crash with 3 seconds left?

I won't mind entering Earth Dragon, it will just be a serious pain on your part.

Believe it or not, UHW Flail SnS produce way less lag than the flamethrowers, as if they aren't bad enough.  As much as I want to enter 2 flail SnS multibot, I think Flails need to be banned too.

Hmmm maybe not banning but limits help. Maybe like a limit of 4 flamethrowers and 8 flails? (And not per bot if entering a multibot. Total.)

It's not just how much flamethrowers that you have, but also how many components you are hitting at a time.  Just having 5 flamethrowers on both side is bad enough in a UHW match.  So flamethrowers need to be banned completely.

Also UHW battle will usually not result in a kill.  OOTA, Immobile, and WBP will be the main 3 ways to win.  So unless the arena wall is low (then it will just be the battle of the flippers), we will be seeing a lot of flamethrowers if it isn't banned.
