'Tis okay. It's just a suggestion. :P

DP, Battle 2 is up!

Not that exciting.

If CF puts in that kind of performance again it's not going to last any longer. Lucky CombatAnt was counted out - a sort of safety net.

I am going to really grow to hate the 1 minute time limit. A fun battle that just needed to play out.

I admit I built a fighter that would happily break off the parts of the opponents and crack their shell.

One minute time limits will give advantage to pusher/grinders and clinch encounters.

But such is life,

I agree. I saw SawCube getting a nice KO and just before the final blow: Time is up, the The winners are in. Pretty cheap, as it would have been a nice match. (2 possible KO's)

So... GHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY

I will agree with this as well.

The match started well, but the 1 minute thing pretty much killed it.

Also i am pretty surprised that this isn't being a yawnfest.

I can see where you guys are coming from... But, it was stated in the rules long ago that the matches would be 1 minute. Saying that it is ghey now is kinda null. If you objected with that rule why didn't you speak up before the tourney even started?

While, I too, like to see a match play out until carnage is fully achieved. But, these are Jonzu's rules and I think he just wanted to keep things short and simple for his first tourney. So far he has done a decent job.

Maybe he will have longer match times for his next tournament. It think he is just learning the ropes right now, so chill out.

Okay match. Not as exciting as it could have been though....

I didn't mention before because I too was willing to have him give it a try. And in seeing it for the 1st and 2nd match its too short and I don't like it.

He also didn't mention in the rules that it would be 4 way matches. So that is 4 bots in only 1 minute. Does that feel right to you? Now with Warmachine I can sometimes get 2 second kills but even heavy weights it is often not decided in the 1st minute.

Also remember that in the past many Ant Weights used plastic armor but now DSA for Antweights is much more common. Much tougher shell need longer to see who will win. I know Triceratops has DSA and I am sure most the rest do too.

I am voicing my concern that 1 minute tourneys are a bad idea in the future. Even worse for 4 way matches. Triply worse for only 1 match, winner advances (also not mentioned), thats the end of that.

It will be the main negative point of this tournament. That the matches were too short. I am sure Jonzu95 is feeling the same way.

I have tried to help shape in good directions in the years of being involved with RA2. One minute 4-way matches with one chance to advance is not a good direction.

Good points Starcore. I guess I was just being defensive for Jonzu because this is his first hosted tourney. You make some valid points about what was omitted from the rules as well. Hopefully he will learn from this and improvise for the future.

System32 · « **Reply #90 on:** November 14, 2009, 01:54:21 PM »

Honestly I hope he gives the bots in a pack afterwords, I'd like to do the bracket in a 3 min fashion...

If I will do CombatAnts 2, Matches will be then 2-3 minutes. :)

can I ask what you mean by that ?

I have a feeling rumble format confused CF, you can see it fighting correctly against the winner in the closing seconds, didnt fair to well with multiple targets. o well at least im trying new things :-D

With CombatAnt immobilized you wouldn't have to worry about CF getting eliminated from the competition, as 1st to 3rd go through, though 1st gets that boost into Round 3. Yeah, it doesn't exactly have the control for a rumble. Well, kind of, but not for point scoring in 1 minute rounds.
