Post by: KOS on March 19, 2014, 06:05:34 PM: Well, let me know if there are any mistakes and i will correct them ;) (Spent 2 Hours On Those Profiles XD). Recording will start tomorrow :D
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: Wacky Bob on March 19, 2014, 07:08:33 PM: Well, at least my bot is original :rolleyes:

I hope I do okay.

(Also, it's "razors" not "razers")

(And "vulnerable" not "vunerable")

(And "invertible" not "invertable")

(And "wedgy" not "wedgey")

Post by: 090901 on March 19, 2014, 07:52:45 PM: I regret not building anything now, the lack of variety in bots pains me.
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: Shield on March 20, 2014, 04:53:06 AM: Well.

Looks like my bot is the SFTW here. Least it has a cool-ish skin.
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: I Like Tacos on March 20, 2014, 07:12:07 AM: Well mine looks extremely generic. Still, can't wait
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: Sage on March 20, 2014, 02:08:41 PM: lol i probably should have tested my bot to see how slow it is. not building for like a year makes me forget things.
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: KOS on March 20, 2014, 02:45:45 PM: XD Sage, I have recorded 8 fights already, currently editing them ATM. The first 8 fights will be in 1 part, and it may be up later today :mrgreen:
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: Sage on March 20, 2014, 03:13:15 PM: nice! good job being a fast tourney host
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: KOS on March 20, 2014, 06:59:18 PM: [Round 1 Part 1 Uploaded] Phew, 1 minute left until tomorrow. The video should be available in 1080p by now :D

[You may need to refresh the video to get 1080p if theres only 360p or 720p!]
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: Mr. AS on March 20, 2014, 08:13:40 PM: nice choice of font. (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=10631.msg515227#msg515227)

I can't imagine CN2: Electric Boogaloo surviving (or beating, wow) round 1's heavyweight at all in the BBEANS arena, especially since I thought it was going to be in the combat zone. :dumb) I'd be really surprised if it did decently here.
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: Wacky Bob on March 20, 2014, 08:59:01 PM: Fockerwolf got under Meat Grinder with one wedge?

I'm nervous about my upcoming fight, especially since we only get one chance. But as long as I survive longer than 31.224 seconds, I'll have a guaranteed spot.
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: MassimoV on March 20, 2014, 09:17:56 PM: Over a minute? Nice. Guess I'm through aswell.

Post by: Shield on March 21, 2014, 03:47:34 AM: 40 seconds. Respectable.
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: NeighImACarrot on March 21, 2014, 06:55:45 AM: 8 second victory
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: KOS on March 21, 2014, 04:36:34 PM: Round 1 Part 2 Has Been Uploaded! - 4 Bots Have Been Eliminated!

[If there's only an option for 360p refresh/watch on youtube]

Post by: Mr. AS on March 21, 2014, 04:43:33 PM: Rest in peace tig bitties. We miss you. ;_;7
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: Wacky Bob on March 21, 2014, 04:52:50 PM: I guess 9th isn't too bad. At least I survived.

I thought you said that only three bots were eliminated at a time?

What's the next Heavyweight?

I decided to change and have 3 Rounds Of Heavyweights, 4 eliminated each time. The main reason is because these heavyweight videos will be 5-10 mins long, and i don't wan't people getting bored watching. (also takes a long time to render and upload ; )
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: Sage on March 21, 2014, 05:34:05 PM: LOL MY ROBOT IS SO BAD

I'm ashamed.
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: KOS on March 21, 2014, 05:40:47 PM: Well at least you can say that you were 1 of 3 to beat the heavyweight XD
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!

Oh well...
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: Wacky Bob on March 22, 2014, 09:17:27 AM: Do you think you could say which bots got eliminated in the rounds in the brackets?
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: RpJk on March 22, 2014, 09:24:07 AM: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=-YCN-a0NsNk

6th place is better than I thought I would do.
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: KOS on March 22, 2014, 09:25:04 AM: Sure thing, also, for the next round would you guys prefer 12 bots in one video or 2 parts with 6 bots?
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: RpJk on March 22, 2014, 09:29:09 AM: One video

Can I ask what is the music your using?
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: KOS on March 22, 2014, 09:36:34 AM: Thanks, for the first video I used "Needless OST 2- The Secrets" And for the second I used "Needless OST Countdown" (It's from the anime, and coincidentally it's not copyrighted so i can use it on youtube ;) )
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: Wacky Bob on March 22, 2014, 09:41:59 AM: I like this next Heavyweight. Hopefully it will kill the Horizontal Spinners.

(That "2" in "Round 2" is bugging me, though)
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: KOS on March 22, 2014, 09:51:39 AM: Trust me you're not the only one, but the font for "2" with the font i'm using is a mans head (wierd), which looks out of place, if you want i can change it to a head though XD

[edit] I could use II instead!
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: RedAce on March 22, 2014, 09:55:35 AM: If I lasted just a few more seconds in my match I probably would've moved on, and probably had a better shot that what was in round 1. I guess that's what you for a bot that's about 3 years old I guess.

Also, Sage's performance made me laugh.
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: TBD Devastator on March 22, 2014, 11:32:50 AM: I'm probably screwed next round... oh well, I at least wasn't eliminated immediately.
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: Shield on March 22, 2014, 11:51:46 AM: I just took a look at the new HW.

Welp looks like I'm not makin' it.
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: Wacky Bob on March 22, 2014, 02:31:44 PM: Luckily for you, you have wedges and it doesn't.

If anything you should be happy you actually have a popup

Post by: Wacky Bob on March 22, 2014, 07:58:30 PM: Awesome. I hope I don't die.

Thanks for doing this so quickly.

Luckily for you, you have wedges and it doesn't.

Slow firing speed. No external armor. And it has Castor armor.

Post by: Wacky Bob on March 23, 2014, 07:57:01 PM: :rage

That was so MEAN of you to show everyone else's amazing runs first, and then show my run last with less than a minute left of video :dead:

Also, about the Round 3 Heavyweight...

HAX MODE?

Edit: Could you separate the eliminated bots by round?
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: TBD Devastator on March 23, 2014, 07:58:58 PM: Good god my bot got completely curbstomped there. Poor thing.

Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: Sage on March 25, 2014, 03:06:35 PM: CASTER ARMOR COMING IN HOT.

Did you not AI my bot to be invertible? Cause im pretty sure it's invertible.
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: NeighImACarrot on March 25, 2014, 03:13:53 PM: I could have beat it if it hadn't have been AI

Post by: Mr. AS on March 25, 2014, 03:17:53 PM: MassimoV's gonna win this
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: NeighImACarrot on March 25, 2014, 03:22:00 PM: Not guaranteed, their is a chance you could beat him. You would just need to either get under or attack from above
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: Wacky Bob on March 25, 2014, 04:53:03 PM: Hahaha how in the world did Cheap Norris 2 survive three rounds in the BBEANS arena?

Congrats to the final four. It's interesting how each of the remaining bots is a different type.

Also, I didn't notice this until now: Extraction isn't a true popup.

Who's facing who?

Post by: RpJk on March 25, 2014, 05:02:26 PM: Etro`s Champion has fallen. However Lightning returns in the form of Bhunivelze`s champion in the next stock tournament.

Anyways 7th place is pretty good, and also thanks KOS-~~MOS~~Flow for letting me participate in your tournament. It was a pleasure to compete
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!

Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: KOS on March 25, 2014, 05:23:35 PM: The names have been shuffled, and the brackets can now be displayed. Cheap Norris 2 will fight Dinosaur's War Child, and Fockerwolf will fight Goldilocks!

Thanks RPJK, it has been a pleasure hosting this :D.
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: Wacky Bob on March 25, 2014, 05:27:56 PM: Cheap Norris 2 is actually fighting Goldilocks, and Dinosaur's War Child is against Fockerwolf (At least that's what your bracket says)
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: KOS on March 25, 2014, 05:31:25 PM: weird, seems it got shuffled... Fixing XD

(edit) Which format would you prefer, 1 video of all the next fights (semi's, final, fight for 3rd) or 2 videos (semi's) then in the next the final and 3rd place?
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!

IMO the champ got really lucky, but congrats anyway!

Thanks for the support sage

I mean in the Round 3 heavyweight fight. Because of the way the HW was built, when it's inverted the bottom row of razors won't do any damage (for a few reasons: one, they are sometimes touching the ground [which is a glitch in RA2], and two, they aren't rotated correctly.) If this glitch didn't occur, you would have died much sooner and not made it into the top 4.

Beating my robot wasn't lucky, I had the turning speed of a tortoise, so in this arena you could easily flank me.
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: Fracture on March 26, 2014, 05:20:01 PM: Wow Carrot's bot dominated every aspect of this tournament. I certainly didn't expect a bot whose greatest strength was "insanely wedgy" to win.
Title: Re: Natural Selection Brackets, Spash / Profiles And Vids!
Post by: KOS on March 26, 2014, 05:37:20 PM: To be fair, neither did I XD. I thought a lack of protection meant it would be eliminated by the 3rd round, but i was wrong.
