I think I might do this. Freeziez is too slow to pose a threat (though he can still backstab me), Dex has nearly no weapons left, and Click has no more wedge, despite being the most dangerous opponent I face. Though seeing how badly Grinding Noise is doing compared to a classic popup...

Still it's a rumble, and the result is much more random that 2-against-2.

Rather amusingly, a few seconds after finishing to watch round 8, a small brown weevil (it's a beetle with a long snout, for those who don't know) fell from my room's wall next to my computer.

It then walked on my sheets of paper for a while, then took flight, crashed on the wall and fell even lower.

Is it a premonition on how my fight with Click will go ? Will he fail ? I don't know XD

Semifinal 1 is up! (ReFlection vs. The Beast vs. One Way Ticket vs. Trollestia 2)

I only got one semifinal match filmed because I got bogged down with a bunch of preparation work, not to mention a bunch of real life stuff I was doing as well. It was ridiculously havoky with the Python-based component removal I was using for the elimination rounds, so I had to go in the bot lab and manually remove all the broken components. (I wrote a script that makes all the non-broken components invisible so I could easily see which ones needed to be removed.) The next post I make should finish up the semifinals.

Also, this match is worth watching if for no other reason than Firebeetle finally got the Ironbot "theme song" in a playable state. (It's not technically finished but he was able to make a loop of what was done so far.) FB has been working really hard on this music and it shows.

Never noticed round 8 was up. Damn that was lucky. I like the semifinal format.

Good fight trollestia. Click, do you think that fang and trollestia can have an extra match with both bots at 100 percent fighting capibility?

The music sounded awesome. I hope FB gets a chance to finish it.

Next round will likely go to Voulez-Vous unless the AI decides to gang up on it. Even if it gets flipped, it could still deliver quite a bit of damage to its opponents. On the other hand, Triceratops may stand a chance if it can repeated get under Voulez-Vous. Speedy dx and BlackVein are all out of luck though. I wouldn't be surprised if speedy managed to defeat BlackVein now that it doesn't have any wedges.

And that's it for the rest of the semifinals!

We now have our four finalists:

And a note on how awards such as Competitive Jerk work in the rumbles: Because 3 bots are being eliminated no matter what in every fight now, the fight to the death unfairly biases the Competitive Jerk award as bots can now eliminate opponents without going through all their spares. Therefore, eliminations in the semifinals and final only count for Competitive Jerk if the bot being eliminated would have still been eliminated in the 30-second elimination format. So if you KO a bot with a spare control board, it doesn't count for CJ. But if you KO a bot without a spare, then it does.

Wins in the semifinals and final still count for Technical Winner.

And although it is highly unlikely, the Black Knight award can still be claimed if a bot survives the semifinals or finals with more than 59% damage. (A note on this award: Both Scrap Daddy and Virus Bomb survived with 59% damage, which I've neglected to put on the results page. Virus Bomb actually had slightly more damage if you don't round to the nearest percent (59.016% vs. 58.868%) but since I've had Scrap listed as the winner for so long, and since the difference is so small, I'm making it a tie.)
