GRW has 1% damage, so doesn't that mean he's technically leading?

I'm guessing Sage is going by number of match wins then damage taken, but I would agree that GRW would be first since his bot has lost only one component so far.

Well, it looks like my match went much better than I expected, but I wonder exactly what part it was that I lost.

Also, brb putting trollface on the bottom of ReFlection.

Oh boy, I get a 36HS next, but thankfully this one has taken quite a bit of damage. Hopefully Click's AI change hasn't greatly affected ReFlection's ability to fight HSs.

Round 5 predictions:

Speedy DX < BlackVein - BlackVein has had varied outcomes against rammers so far, but with an AI change it should do better this round.
X-Press > This Fire - This Fire would probably stand a better chance if it still had both of its wedges.
Your Best Frenemy > Big Dog - I mean come on, there's nothing left of Big Dog but a box with 4 wheels and a few extenders.
ReFlection > Supernovae 2.1 - It's not going to be easy, definitely not leaving without losing a few weapons, but if I can push my opponent into the spikes it'll make things a lot easier.
BoomBox > Blood Shed - Still not convinced by Blood Shed's weaponry.
Rider On The Storm < The Beast - Rider On The Storm looks like it can get 1 good hit on The Beast, but it's probably gonna go downhill after that.
Revolutions Per Minute < Trollestia 2 - I don't think I trust RPM's fighting ability anymore.
One Way Ticket < Effing Stock - Normally I would put my money down for OWT, but it's obviously too slow to score points quickly, so I say Effing stock will win by points.
Unexpected Nightmare > The Injection - The Injection simply doesn't have enough weapons to defend itself.
Grinding Noise > Plutonium - Plutonium has just suffered way too much damage. Maybe Grinding Noise will finish it off.
Frag Beetle 2.1 > Bullet Train - Now, if Bullet Train still had its side guards, things might turn out differently.
Stratocaster < Voulez-Vous - I was lucky enough to only lose one component to Voulez-Vous, but since Stratocaster's components are more vulnerable, I don't think it will be as lucky.
Triceratops > Golden Sun - Again, it's a bot with weapons vs one with no weapons.

What were you saying about removing my other wedge ribbs ?

Anyways, prediction time.

Round 5 predictions:

Speedy DX > BlackVein - BlackVein seems to be unable to drive correctly for now, since it has lost one or more irons. I think speedy DX can just ram it and destabilize it.
X-Press < This Fire - I just have a feeling Ribbs will lose his wedge.
Your Best Frenemy > Big Dog - Quite obviously. Though can Scrap survive another round ? YBF isn't very fast after all.
ReFlection > Supernovae 2.1 - Probably will be just a mace-losing fest, nothing more.
BoomBox > Blood Shed - Because Bloodshed is just awful

Rider On The Storm < The Beast - GK's bots hasn't enough weapons anymore to take on The Beast.
Revolutions Per Minute < Trollestia 2 - GRW is doing exceptionally well with a decent bot, for once. Also it has nearly all of it's weapons left, unlike NFX. It also has enough potential to impale RPM on the spikes.
One Way Ticket = Effing Stock - Unsure. Freeziez can't drive straight, but yes OWT is too slow to score a KO.
Unexpected Nightmare > The Injection - Exactly what ounce said.
Grinding Noise > Plutonium - Well Plutonium is pretty much the equivalent MW rammer now :P Now can I get my first elimination ?
Frag Beetle 2.1 > Bullet Train - Seeing how Frag Beetle is doing exceptionally well...

Stratocaster < Voulez-Vous - Quite obviously. Strat has only three wheels left for evil's sake. Can VV eliminate it ?
Triceratops > Golden Sun - The beetle brothers are really doing ridiculously well. Now FB has just a big target next to him. I don't know if Triceratops can KO it in 30 seconds though.

And finally, you're all wondering why RPM randomly havoked against Triceratops. It's not because of the new melty brain AI I gave it. It actually havoks against any bot with a wedge for some reason. All of its opponents until Triceratops have been wedgeless rammers, so it's been fine.

...that's a very bizzare reason. I'll get to watching Round 4, then. =D

I was just thinking it would be just my luck to get Sage Round 5... I don't believe it....

NFX · « **Reply #246 on:** October 03, 2011, 12:15:00 PM »

After seeing how my Melty Brain panned out (slightly jerkier spinning than I had anticipated), I'm actually quite confident against Trollestia. Though I might not win, I've got the chance to do a good amount of damage. I've survived a good few rammers so far, and I reckon I should do alright this round. Good luck to GRW, though, he's been doing very well for himself in this tournament. =)

*looks at matchup*

I just can't win, can I?

Remember, you could always have it worse... you could be Golden Sun. IMO it has had the worst matchups of any bot in this tournament. First it was Bullet Train which wasn't so bad, but then it fought T-888 Terminator, Supernovae 2.1, and The Beast all in a row. That kind of onslaught of HS's isn't easy to survive. Yet you don't see RPJK complaining...

It has enough maces that it can OHKO a bare chassis that isn't powered by 6 HPZs. This match should go quickly.

Hey, at least i broke trollestia's streak.

Another thing is that i didn't get wasted by starcore.

Click, this would be a great tournament series. Maybe after BBEANS 7, you can do Ironbot 2.

Good math, GRW, and good luck in the rest of the tournament.

*Plays amazing grace on bagpipes, then shoots Fang out of the airlock*

Would you say i did good for my first tournament hosted by Clickbeetle?

Farewell, Ironbot. Hope we will cross paths again.

BlackVein probably gets turned around because you gave it a radius of 3.5, which is pretty big. So the AI will attempt to steer around obstacles before it actually reaches them, hence the weird turning. All the other bots that I AI'd use a radius of 1-1.2; do you want BlackVein to have a smaller radius for future fights?

Ohhh, I must have forgotten to change the radius that I used on my other bot. After doing some in game measurements, I think it should be set to about 1.85 assuming that your Engage tactic no longer uses the full radius otherwise 1.2 would work better.

My guess for why Triceratops rammed the spinner is because RPM was behind the collision lines for the spikes, and Triceratops was trying to find a way around them to hit it.

Triceratops trying to be smart >> Rams the blade

Round 5 is up!

There are no damageless fights this round... in every fight, some bot is going to take some damage.

Also, I've added a running record of who's currently in the lead for each award on the bot statistics page.

And FINALLY... a rather important announcement. Now that I have a good idea of the pace of this tournament, and I have a good idea that it's a bit on the slow side, I've decided to go with the "plan B" option I had in the rules for the finals: The fight to the death stage will start once there are 16 bots remaining. Those 16 bots will go into 4 rumbles, and whatever 4 bots survive will go into the final fight to the death to decide the champion.

Damn it, I KOed VB but couldn't eliminate him :P

PREDICTIONS ROUND 6

The Beast > Supernovae : Just because the beast has more weapons. Though Supernovae has the highest concussion value, so he could pull an upset...

Revolutions Per Minute > Your Best Frenemy : Probably a boring fight, i think RPM has more capacities to WPB than YBF in 30 seconds though. Both bots will lose a few weapons, that is all.

BoomBox > BlackVein : It's a less-than-36 mace HS against an iron VS. That is all.

X-Press > Unexpected Nightmare : Because Ribbs CAN go under and gutrip his opponent. Slowly, but still. Bet his wedge still won't come out this time.

Voulez-Vous > Frag Beetle : Seeing the wedge setup I just have the feeling VV CAN gut rip Frag Beetle. Though it's not for sure, seeing how FB (built by CB hurr durr) has proven itself to be a fearsome opponent.

Grinding Noise > Effing Stock : Now can I end poor dear Freeziez's suffering...

Trollestia 2 > Plutonium : Quite obviously. Can GRW's bot KO it or not ? I don't think so honestly, but it might happen.

Speedy DX > One Way Ticket : Again a ramfest, with a few irons lost here and there. SDX is faster though, and might very well win by points. Though it's probably going to lose sooner than OWT...

ReFlection > Big Dog : Quite obviously. I have a feeling that Big Dog is just NOT going to be KO'ed yet again, though he may lose enough motors or wheels to be eliminated. Or even still live against a wall of maces despite being a sad rolling chassis, to Scrap's great delight

Ironic how the dogs tend to last longer than expected in this tournament. Maybe you should rename "Black Knight Award" to "Black Dog Award", Click :P

Rider on the Storm > Blood Shed : RotS might be only the shade of what it was, but Blood Shed is still as horrible as ever.

Stratocaster > Golden Sun : Well, one breather round for Kill before he gets... killed (hurr durr), really. At least Kill can cling onto the (few) glory this victory will bring him :P

The Injection > Bullet Train : Injection might have less weapons, but Bullet Train only has 2 motors left and running. Injection can therefore flank him by being faster, and remove one more of these wheels. Or not.

Triceratops > This Fire : Now that This Fire has no wedges left, it's going to be a sitting duck, unless against a rammer. But it's not against one this time. I don't know if Triceratops has the power to KO and eliminate it this round - I don't think it has in fact - but This Fire just will lose by points anyway.
