I can't wait for my frog that I made in 20 minutes to do well.

[Dark-Al]

It's about time you've uploaded the SBV! The only why I built Malleus for this was all for the sake of "Two can play at this game!" after seeing the first law bot. Still, I should have a chance if my bot doesn't OOTA.

Lookin good. ETA on the first vids?

this weekend imma say

Also due to the underwhelming amount of entries ill give every bot 3 runs, its final score will be the longest run of the 3

what in the world is my robot supposed to be

what in the world is my robot supposed to be

A Robot built by the one and only Pizzaguy?
I believe it's actually a standard Flipper Thrack, though it's properly not a good one, but has a nice theme on the other hand.

nah pizzaguy didn't make it; i can barely get him to play the game to enter my tournaments

[Dreamcast]

Isn't this supposed to be a standard tournament? Why do a third of the robots look like good/bad attempts at IRL? Anyways, go Dark-Al cuz his robot looks the least like a robot.

mah boi Tilt 2 <3

This should be a fun mini-tournament nonetheless. Hinging on Gulden to win this, strangely enough.

the first bot to fight the law steps up. its dark al

setting the bar with a best time of 0:27

Don't put the time in the video tab, put it in a results spoiler. And you really, really should do this all in one video, or at least upload all the videos at once.

oof did not think about that

duly noted

And you really, really should do this all in one video, or at least upload all the videos at once.

Counterpoint: if you do this, the video will be really long, and I will not watch it.  If you upload a bunch of videos at once, I will only watch the one I'm in.  If you spread out your videos, I am more likely to watch all of them.

anyway rip in piece dark al

This. Beat the Clock worked well and it was a slow burn of 3 videos, each containing 4 entrants. As you have less entries, just do one robot per video and try to crank out the videos quickly to maintain hype, and then delay the release if needs be.

ye thats fair.

[Dark-Al]

Seeing with what Shield is doing, my suggestion is to put one video at a time, then put a leader board at the end of each video to not only compare the average time of each Robot, but also edit the leader board depending on their average survival time instead of putting it a spoiler tag. This may be lengthy in the making due to how much time this may take with 7 entries one-by one instead of doing it all together, but it may prevent a overly long video which some users may not watch or just skip the boring bits.
Also, RIP in deed Thrack. Seeing my average time and my performance made me not only laugh, but also come up with a Clarkson's Top Gear era styled argument about my performance. But still, I some work to do on Malleus for some future DSL-S if there would be one.

Neon Calypso also tries his hand

uh oh

[Badger]

Aaaand that's this tournament ruined in one fell swoop

why the **** would you leave in a run where one of the bosses kills themsevles without even touching the challenger bot? Having the VS knock out the Rammer for TGM was bullsh** enough, but now it's impossible for anyone else to win unless they too get lucky enough that the VA just kills itself

Seriously, you need to re-record matches like that where the challenger gets super lucky in a way that other challengere can't hope to re-create.
