So, we're here. Best of luck to all, and here's to a good set of matches!

Quite a lot of scary bots. All the SnS scare me, Urjak looks like a challenge and Gauche may be a problem. Everything else looks like an easy win.

I'VE GOT A LOVELY BUNCH OF COCONUTS.

awww yeaaaaahhhh

ty4er · « **Reply #4 on:** August 26, 2012, 06:09:16 AM »

seems like an ok bracket to me, i should be able to beat as' bumblebot or whatever it is, the next riund should be fairly easy aswell but then i have no idea, i just hope urjak gets taken out early :P
coolrunner scares me aswell

anyway, predictions:
wildcard

gauche suede: if it gets unstable, i don't have much hope for it. could pull a surprise though
nary: looks like any sns will kill it. the wedges might just save it though, if they're good enough
badnik: i think it could win the wildcard unless it gets outweaponed too quickly.
marty: this could win if badnik doesn't punt it oota or something. best bot in the wildcard imo

main bracket:
craig: unless it can outweapon conraaa, i doubt it can win a fight :P
conraaaaaaaaa: could go far if the wedges are good enough
manmad: going to do well until it faces a wide bot such as sm's
xfn: looks pretty dangerous, might not like the all the sns in here though
me: i think i can make it past the first two rounds, from then i don't think i can win much more, especially if i face urjak or coolrunner D:
logan: when did he get good? looks like a nice bot and will probably go far.
urjak: uh oh i don't want to face this. might have problems against madman or coolrunner and possibly a few others though
smashy: looks like a good bot, might not go far though
yoda: if the wedge is good enough, it might do alright. looks a little too narrow and long to me though
as: if that's a bumblebot then it could be annoying against rammers etc.
coolrunner: hahaha this is a cool bot cwutididthar. may even win if it doesn't pull a rage III against some of the better wedges.
ribbs: probably the sftw here, might be able to outweapon some things but that's probably the most it can do.
ha: not a great bot but it might be able to win if it can outwedge stuff.
sm: scary, going to do well imo
09090909090909090909235301: if the wedges are good it could go far

my bets are on coolrunner to win :P

Just to confirm, I'm not taking this fully seriously.. just wanted to enter something different to what I (correctly) expected :P

martymidget · « **Reply #6 on:** August 26, 2012, 08:13:47 AM »

Wildcard's all filmed, just rendering atm...

Needs more predictions. :P

NFX: Looks tough, but the extender work is somewhat exposed. Potentially threatened by the spinners, maybe Mr. As since he could probably de-weapon it. Should be fast enough to defeat the SnS.
Ty: Seems somewhat underweaponed, but it's wide and fast. Should be able to beat me, and the gutrippers.
Logan: Looks like one of the better bots here. Heavily weaponed and fast. I'm screwed against it since it has the best chance of removing my discs. I'm expecting this one in the final potentially.
Conraaa: Has a solid chance against everything (other than me since SHW popups don't mean anything to my bot sooooo). Looks well weaponed and fast, should take out the SnS fairly well, and looks like one of the best built bots here.
Urjak: Looks well weaponed and decently armoured. Hopefully I can take out the shell before my disks get raped, since that looks like the bot's weakest link.
Smashy: Well weaponed, should beat some spinners, not much chance against the other bots though. Might beat some gutrippers if it outwedges them.
Craaig: Sadly I'm going to say this is the bot with the worst chance. Two overweight lightweights just won't really cut it against some of the bots here. Might outweapon Andy but it's still in grave danger, which is a shame because they look well built.
Me: OBVIOUSLY THE BEST BOT IN THE TOURNEY. Did well in testing, but screwed against SnS here. Should do well if I can beat Urjak, which seems possible with his weak disk.
Yoda: Should beat the gutrippers but looks too thin and fragile to work against the SnS.
Mr As: Will outweapon most bots, and might beat our gutrippers if it spikeballs enough.
Coolrunner: Obviously not the best chance but should easily push stuff about and maybe score OOTAs.
Ribbs: Fast rammer, should be a danger to the SnS, but gutrippers should trump it.
HA: Looks reasonably fast, should have a decent chance against the gutrippers, but it will probably be outweaponed by the SnS and HS.
S_M: Looks like one of the better SnS. Might be worse than Logan due to its heavier drive (which wasn't too effective on my SnS which I considered entering)
0909090909090000000000000001: Looks like it can outweapon everything other than Mr. As's bot. Could be one of the bots that makes it to the latter stages.

Marty to win Wildcard.

I'll make a full prediction later, for now I'll just do the wildcard.

Marty vs Naryar - Marty will win I think.
Marty vs Gauche - Marty wins. Possible OOTA?
Marty vs Badnik - Marty wins.
Badnik vs Gauche - Probably a havok restart or something here. Lots of exposed motors. In the end, I reckon Gauche will win.
Badnik vs Naryar - Naryar should win here.
Naryar vs Gauche - Naryar wins.

What the Hell have I gotten into...?

Oh and for anyone that doesn't get my bot's name... It's a bath salts reference. I was originally calling it Bath Salts Addict, but TastyFace sounded more humorous.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #10 on:** August 26, 2012, 11:12:21 AM »

My bot was just taking a HW SnS and making the weapon close to nothing :P Needless to say it's a joke bot. It's not going to win anything here XD

if you look closely you can see a miniwheel, thus 2wd

but im not even sure of its stability myself because i just kinda made it last minute and sent it in without any testing whatsoever lul

EDIT: i just realized the meaning behind the name "cruisin for a bruisin"

I want Coconut to win! I see that CR87 and S_M were planning on entering CC5...

You need to get like an F10 camera angle, it's kinda hard to tell what's happening.

logannaruto · « **Reply #19 on:** August 26, 2012, 06:46:18 PM »

Just from looking at the little clips before the wild card it looks like i might be going 0/2
