diglett's obviously the best.

Yes, I may downgrade the armour to Plastic 5 to make things easier.

Post by: Conraaa on October 23, 2011, 03:23:18 PM
I'm not saying the sacrificial bot is too hard. I'm saying Crustle has the offensive capabilities of a slightly timid ant.
Anyway, I'd have to say my favourite rep is probably SM's Klink. Very nice.
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - SBV
Post by: cephalopod on October 23, 2011, 03:30:30 PM
No, it probably is - not a lot of them have all that much power, let's be honest. I'll probably keep it as is, will add some variety with points possibly coming into it.

The Clamperl is my favorite.  Very well done.
 
Most dangerous looks to be the Klinks or possibly Cryogonal... wait weren't SnS supposed to be banned?  Or are those bots just AI'd as rammers?
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - SBV
Post by: MassimoV on October 23, 2011, 09:02:19 PM
Favorites are(in no order):
Klink
Sandlash
Excadrill

They're not AIed to spin, they're just pushers/rammers

Chances of me KOing diglett? Very low, unless my poison sting poisons it.

The tail isn't actually long enough to hit anything IIRC e.e

I am pleased with the addition of the Diglett factor... Magikarp might be able to beat Diglett with a WBP.   :P

Maybe Sharpedo can get through to round 2, Kabuto was a lulz bot and has no competitive value at all.

Hopefully my slightly improved bot doesn't looks as ugly and un-aerodactyl-er as the one in the splash :P

Post by: cephalopod on November 09, 2011, 03:34:10 PM
The first Qualifier video is uploaded, featuring the first 4 Pokemon alphabetically - Aerodactyl, Bastiodon, Clamperl and Crustle!
Also, Qualifier Rankings so far are in a spoiler on the front page - in case you're way too lazy :P

(Also, sorry, WMM is being a... fool. I wanted to put the low health noise in but it's being reeeally awkward tonight so i guess not. Apologies!)
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - SBV
Post by: Badnik96 on November 09, 2011, 03:47:30 PM
cool. Looks to be difficult to get in with a WBP. I think I can get past Kabuto, Garbodor, Crustle and Tauros and nab the playoff spot with Sharpedo. Unfortunately Sharpedo's jaws aren't built to bite a Diglett. Unsure if I can pull this off...

Glad you like it! :D And yeah, one day, I will genetically modify that Diglett and it will thrash yo' all into the ground ;D


(To anyone wondering, the little appendages on/in Diglett are designed to keep it upright, and self-right it in the right circumstances XD)

Post by: Naryar on November 10, 2011, 07:26:07 AM
Of course aerodactyl is a boss. Imma pwn you all except Sandslash and maybe Clamperl.

<3 being able to avoid most attacks with a hovercraft and a Flying-type. And it's absolutely not a Game Breaker. ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Though I am not happy with Aerodactyl being slower than Bastiodon. Srsly.

Somebody must have set us up the trick room.
 
Also that Aerodactyl looks totally awesome in action.  It's like a flying Warhead with no spinner.  I take back what I said about the Klinks and Cryogonal; that is the most dangerous bot here.  Hopefully Sandslash's spikes can withstand it...

Actually, I must confess slightly - I forgot to 2x Aerodactyl's match like I did with all the others (and do with every match in every tourney I run) :3 apologies - but I'm pretty sure 8 seconds will ensure it gets through to next round so you'll get to see it at full speed then :D

I feel stupid now. I spent THREE HOURS on that bot only to see it flip itself onto its back in 2 seconds.

Post by: Clickbeetle on November 13, 2011, 02:28:04 PM
Oh boy.  Right away in the first round, we find out if the one bot Naryar fears is really capable of taking him down...
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - SBV
Post by: Jack Daniels on November 13, 2011, 03:02:42 PM
I expect both of my bots to fall in the first round.

Klink appears to be too low for Megagross to reach.  That duo will nip away at Meta's legs until it falls. By that time... the match will probably be won by WBP. 

Exadrill has enough speed to slam Magikarp right off the bat.  It will likely turn the fish over.  While it can flail, it cannot self right.  Likely loss due to immobilization.

I think Skorupi will win the rumble.

Then after that:

Klink > Metagross
Skorupi > Garbodor
Exadrill > Magikarp
Aerodactly > Sandslash

leading to:
Skorupi > Klink
Aerodactyl > Exadrill

finishing with:
Aerodactly > Skorupi

:P I think the flying pokemon has enough advantage to pwn pretty much everything. Well played Nary.
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - SBV
Post by: Naryar on November 13, 2011, 03:29:08 PM
Well, my Aerodactyl head is 60kg, 8000 HP, 2,66 concussion and 1 piercing. The other components are standard. Unless aerodactyl keeps attacking Sandslash's head (and I doubt it will keep doing that), I don't think I have any chance.

Maybe I can WBP but that's just uncertain. Don't think my weapons can last long enough to WBP.

I suspect Clickbeetle has filled his bot's top plate with spikes when he saw that hovercrafts were allowed. And damn it, this is the only bot that can beat me and I HAD to have it on first round !

overall reaction in one convenient image :

Okay. I've really messed up. Interest in RA2 is waning for me, and this tourney is hardly the most exciting. I plan to get some more done now. Do you guys want the whole thing, with timed music and titles and stuff or shall I just pump it all out, and produce the final to (hopefully) an awesome quality?

I know I didn't enter, but I've enjoyed wathcing the vids with all the Pokemon stuff. So I think you should keep doing what you've been doing.

I have but 1 last thing to ask - it's pretty clear we're not getting any KOs, so would people mind if (after round 1, to keep it fair) I reduced round time to 2 RA2 minutes? Just means I won't run out of space on my increasingly full hard drive :P

The problem with your point S_M is that the flails were still on Garbodor when it havoked. I've never seen such a havok on a flail bot with no flails lost. However, it is a walking bunch of AGOD, but I don't think AGOD triggers havok ?

As I see klink, it's just a basic rammer multibot so it shouldn't havok. But it needs probably more testing.

Also, another tournament victory for me ! (Yes, I'm totally gloating because I'm fairly certain no one can realistically stop me)

Congrats Nary.  I cut off Aerodactyl's feet and shredded its wings with Sandslash, and I came close to pushing it OOTA with Garbodor, which is about the most anyone can hope for with a grounded bot.
