Why am I up against a THE top builder?

But I may have a chance. :)

Well done 090901, i thought you might. Ah well, maybe next time i'll do better. (hopes VS's are alloud next time)

There's a massive bunch of very average bots in that tournament...

But why do i see NAR AI skinned Piglets and a Dragon CO2 out of 029 LB's bot ? Is that you're actually running the tournament in v2.2 or what ?

I made the splash vid in NAR AI, the Heat was in DSL.

Yup, sorry but you're out.

Never mind.

If only I knew that I was against Sparkles, then I wouldn't have entered a joke entry!

Oh, this is going to be an embarrassment....

But if I win...

Thyrus · « **Reply #30 on:** May 03, 2010, 01:23:54 PM »

I like this heat-system.
I can winn my fight in the Hilltop arena :)

I'm against Naryar? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

and I'm 027 LB, not 027LB or 029 LB.

OK, here are my predictions!
Bubbleman: Non invertability and weapons with normals will kill it.
S_M: Really good, not very destructive-looking but should pack a punch.
090901: Tough-looking HS, fast as well
Naryar: Of course it will go far, it's Naryar!
G.K. Too fast for my liking, underweaponed as well.
Resetti: looks like a tough gut ripper, weak armor and weapons with normals will cause it problems.
Stag: Nice bot for a sub-par builder, fast but could oversteer OOTA.
027: Uses a custom PY, not too fast though so probably won't win.
STC: Cool drum bot, drive is kind of exposed though
Shishkabot: Fast, see Stag for the rest of my prediction
Zog:

TX:Another

Thyrus: Not bad, could use grippier wheels
Me: I like this bot, should go far
Sparkey: the third an final

123STW: Another good bot, wedge killers FTW

Naryar · « **Reply #36 on:** May 04, 2010, 02:40:27 AM »

~~PREDICTIONS~~ Rants !:

Robo Crusha: It quite fails in weapon and armor depts IMO. Should need a wedge as well.
WPCTS: It's... ~~big ?~~ weird ? (And totally not a 123 style build). I think it has potential.
Illusion: Not exactly fitted for this tournament... Also what's the point of these trappers ?
Razorback v3: ~~BEST BOT EVAR~~ It is quite awesome in wedginess but average in sheer weapon power. I should also send a new py for this (it's both invertible and has a working srimech but currently doesn't drives inverted if the srimech breaks), and have probably good chances. Just hope it doesn't fails because of some stupid driving error or push the opponent OOTA but get eliminated first...
Myriad v2: Drive is completely overkill for a MW HS. With no wedges it'll probably go OOTA easily.
Plastic Peril: Skirt hinge wedges are outdated, plus the weapons have normals and it doesn't looks invertible. Can't see this fairing well.
Shep*h*erd: It's actually not bad at all and one of the bots i am worried about, and while missing in sheer damage can fair well - still i think it's too fast for such arenas (and i won't consider Stag a sub-par builder also, Badnik)
Green With Envy: It might be a cool design, but in no way is this really combat-efficient.
Anti Eye Candy: It's not too bad... but nothing more really.
Rama Slana: Another decently built bot that might be too fast and not wedgy enough.
Junky: Excuse me sir... but WTF exactly are you doing ???
Is That So ?: Yet another bot with Piglets for drive !!! Plus th e weapon quite fails as well...
Forward to Death: Weapon is unsufficient, and it has no wedges, as well as a bad wheel choice. Really the building level is quite low in this tournament in overall...
Rockstar: I question the choice of a VS in such a tournament, but it' quite well built, fast and looks like it has really good wedges. Am unsure about the weapon setup though.
Neptus DSL Drum: What kind of unskilled builder puts such a complete failure of a weapon on his bot ? It has metal hinges though, and that gives it a chance of getting one win or more on unwedged/too fast bots (see GK)
Clockwork IV: 123's bot = very nice build. Now can this outwedge me ?

Anyways, i like the video splash music.

Sonny doesn't know!

JoeBlo · « **Reply #39 on:** May 04, 2010, 11:56:12 AM »

well Sonny ~~when a man and a woman love each other very much~~ normals mean a weapon can only do damage at a particular point

case example: pole spike will damage at the sharp tip only, razor tip will damage at any point of the component. this normally makes weapons without normals better.
