My predictions:And I can't beat Scrap because?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/26664RW3%20predictions.PNG)
Now see, I picked Raizer Blade over Explosion bec *shot*
Now to see how the armored wedge idea holds up.Seeing as you're here, I've got to commend you on how well done Warrior looks. Does the body spin like it does IRL?

It certainly sounds interesting, if it's all fully functional. I look forward to seeing how it does.Now to see how the armored wedge idea holds up.Seeing as you're here, I've got to commend you on how well done Warrior looks. Does the body spin like it does IRL?
Yep, it's fully functional.
Only thing I'm worried about is the weapon reach, let's see how Gi-Ant-O does.Although I must say, a 360 degree attacking radius is a big advantage to have ;)

Peruna is da best. :DHow's mine, old chum? :approve:
I must say, I'm quite impressed with Kronic's skin. Your bots always seem to be skinned very well, if not the most efficient.Thanks! But that's the thing with me and my entries here- the skins are good, but certain functions are sometimes rotten.
As long as Gravity does not get stuck on the back of the bot it should do ok.But even still, it'll be interesting to see which flipper comes out on top :cool:
I don't know if it's due to my end but the sounds quality doesn't seem to be that good =S
Nervous about my first (and hopefully not last) fight - i don't how good cyclone will do against delldog *gulps*
Although his looks quite strong, I'm willing to bet that it'll also be quite unstable. Maybe if you hit him the right way, you could knock him over.I don't know if it's due to my end but the sounds quality doesn't seem to be that good =S
Nervous about my first (and hopefully not last) fight - i don't how good cyclone will do against delldog *gulps*
Nope, it's crap for everybody.
I'm reasonably confident against Sonny, I'm just hoping that he hits my Beaters and not my disc.
Thankfully, mines is fully invertible. If only there was an option to start the match upside-down.And mine's good at self-righting. Therefore, if I can take advantage of the fact that Scrap has no wedge, I might be able to toss him out like what Purse did with Whirligig.
dual Judge Bursts
what song is that? i want it.

Vertigo, why did you sacrifice looks for more power? This is a replica contest...Because I wanted to get the balance between looks and efficency, and the most efficient bot will win, this is like any other tourney :P
Erm, Hazard won Replica wars 2 despite me going with 4WD copals instead of using 2 unpowered wheels and 2 powered to keep to the original :PAnd if we do meet, I'm going to take my revenge ;)
would be nice to get to round 2 in RW one day. But I think I have a good chance against Cyclone. When will the video be up?Soon, hopefully.
The upside would be that you could use more components, and possibly make it more visually realistic. Downside would be that the matches would probably be laggy, and people would be asking where the antiballast components were all the time. I think RW3 could be the series end for now, personally.Yeah, might be an idea.
Fight should come later today. Maybe tomorrow.

you know that if you wait another 28 weeks we all will be dead cause of an zombie apocalypse?
IT'S UP!!!1
I have an avantage against Explosion:You are going to go OOTA.
It's wedgy
It's strong
It uses a Tornade Mer motor
I have an avantage against Explosion:
It's wedgy
Hahahahahaha epic fail XDI have an avantage against Explosion:

0_0 wut?
Guys.. You are underestimating Peruna... You don't know what it can do... :3But you haven't seen what Kronic is capable of, me Finnish chum :gunz:
I guess I'm I'm the only one whose confident their bot is going to lose?Not the only one...
Kronic sux. Eric proofed it. :DAh, but this one is based on the modern edition, capable of chucking opponents over 10 feet into the air :gunz:
[:-|]Something wrong, Thy?
I want vids. *cries like in the avatar**Hands Jonzu a box of Kleenex*
in your dreams...But in all seriousness, what could a replica, named after what I presume is the Finnish diminuative of the word "Prune", is going to do to my almighty Kronic? :gunz:
Peruna - PotatoMeh, close enough. Still, what could a robot named after a vegetable possibly do to my almighty entry? :P
It was either my win by points or KO, or your win by OOTA.So you're in the Semis again, eh? If I do qualify, I look forward to meeting you in the finals :cool:
Even still, it looks like it'll be hard to catch onto with a flipper. However, Kronic does have 5mm Titanium armour and a wide wedge, so hopefully I can catch a hold of it.More like, you will tip me, flip me and my spinner will do the rest.
I did notice a tendency to gyro dance in your match, SM. Here's hoping Corkscrew Two doesn't do that.It doesn't look like it will, considering that the wheels and spinner are built into the body and all.
dragonsteincole, can upload your Raizer Blade in the bot exchange? I want to try it out :approve:
oh.. ok
who was the guy with 2009 in his name then? O.o
bah nicsan... hypnodisc... where`s the difference?
expect a sh*t load of vids in a couple of weeks guysAh, that's good to here. I look forward to seeing how Kronic does :beer:

Potato power!For a second, I was about to ask what significance that had to this, and then I realised that your robot's name was the Finnish word for it, if I recall correctly.
Lol. I never would thought I would say that. ^_^'
Awesome. Corkscrew's match should be soon. =] Hopefully should do as well as in testing.Just as a fun fact- Corkscrew must be like the Third RW robot I've seen that shares a name with an Alton Towers rollercoaster, along with Nemesis and Oblivion, both of whom competed in Series 2 :approve:

What`s the result of the fight Corcsrew vs Sonic the Wedgehog?
:FFFUUUWhat`s the result of the fight Corcsrew vs Sonic the Wedgehog?
Well, expect a crapload of videos from me over April break, imma get RW3 done with
I think Badnik should update the bracket. And when will he upload more videos?
I haz a new screen recorder, it is awesome (no record limit and free)Sounds good, man. Are they all being done in order?
Expect a new video tomorrow or maybe later today
What's the recorder?(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/65053hohner_pearwood_treble_recorder.gif)
of course, derp.I haz a new screen recorder, it is awesome (no record limit and free)Sounds good, man. Are they all being done in order?

of course, derp.Sorry, it's just that GK posted his BTTB4 videos in random order, and I was wondering if you were doing something similar.
meh, the record limit on FRAPS is retarded and I hate it.

I finished recording everything today, there are lots of FFFUUU moments (:P)Ah, that's good to hear. As long as I've won, that's even better :gawe:
I'll upload them all over the course of this week (I'm on April break! woo!)
Over the week? Aww man. Why are you stopping everyone from seeing my magnificent victory?My magnificent victory, don't you mean? :approve:
I wonder if my rep will get a bit of OOTAs.Might do, depending on its wedginess and speed.
My top 5:What do you think of Kronic, then? :approve:
1.Village Idiot
2.Warrior
3.Corkscrew
4.Explosion
5. Tie with with Abaddon, Vortex Inducer and NightStalker
Round 2 predictions:
Delldog over Sweet, Gi-Ant-O and Chip
Might rank 15 in combat effectivness.Maybe to you from appearance, but I think it might be something of a darkhorse when you consider its stats- 5mm Titanium (IIRC), 2 NPC fast drive, two Judges powering the flipper, and what it has that Village Idiot doesn't- a wedge.
So top half? I think it could do better than that, I reckon. I'd say it could do better than Explosion, if the hand of fate goes its way.Indeed- from what I can see, I don't know how reliable Explosion's wedge and flipper is.
But Scrap might get at your side and gut rip your bot.Could happen, but remember that Kronic can turn quickly on the spot with its drive. Even still, its low ground clearance, combined with a sloped edge with no bits that Scrap can exploit, makes it pretty safe- Scrap's spinners are high up, therefore can't get under me, unless I miss a flip.
My top 5:
1.Village Idiot
2.Warrior
3.Corkscrew
4.Explosion
5. Tie with with Abaddon, Vortex Inducer and NightStalker
Hmm... I'll write my Top 5 too. =DGood to see you like the Wedgehog, Jonzy :approve:
1. Peruna Explosion
2. Corkscrew Two
3. Raizer Blade
4. Kronic the Wedgehog
5. Ill Tempered Mutt
Who's "Peruna Explosion"?Whoops... Fixed. ^^'
Who's "Peruna Explosion"?Something that roughly translates to "Potato Explosion" when you rub mayonnaise on it, spin it in circles, clap your hands twice, and say that you believe in fairies :trollface
I lol'd.And hopefully this time, we'll meet :approve:
I'm also digging the confidence people have in Corkscrew Two this time around. =] Hopefully I can reach the Grand Final once again with a bit of luck.
i`ll wait there for youAnd then I'll be seeing you...out of the arena! :gunz:
I certainly hope so. =) Only slight spanner in the works appears to be Tsunami, but we need to see its flipper power before we make any judgement. I reckon Corkscrew Two is potentially the most destructive bot here.I lol'd.And hopefully this time, we'll meet :approve:

*video*
Ah, looks like you've got a spanner in the works, too? It's Warrior who's the main thorn in my side. However, I'll most likely meet him in the 2nd round melee, so if I can get under him whilst he's distracted, I might be able to take him out much like I did with Badnik's entry last year.I certainly hope so. =) Only slight spanner in the works appears to be Tsunami, but we need to see its flipper power before we make any judgement.

Right, so it's settled then. Hopefully I'll get him for you- after all, I've ended up OOTAing at least two robots in each series of RW :approve:
Hell yeah!
He said he was going to be preoccupied with schoolwork or something along those lines, so there'd be a couple of weeks of nothing. Should be starting up again pretty soon, with any luck.Hopefully.
And why would I need something like that? :rolleyes:He said he was going to be preoccupied with schoolwork or something along those lines, so there'd be a couple of weeks of nothing. Should be starting up again pretty soon, with any luck.Hopefully.
Now, are you preparing to install a parachute for when we're in the finals? :gunz:
Why my dear boy, for Corkscrew Two's high rise (into the air), and the eventual fall...out of the arena! ;)And why would I need something like that? :rolleyes:He said he was going to be preoccupied with schoolwork or something along those lines, so there'd be a couple of weeks of nothing.

I'm not planning to, I'll be approaching quickly from behind, while you're preoccupied with a smaller target. =]
And it didn't have "Corkscrew II" written on the top. =D
Hope to see Kronic and Corkscrew Two in the final with me :PFixed :cool:
Woop Woop... :PBut judging by its performance, the Potato took a while to peel Rammstein :rolleyes:
True, and thanks. Let's see how I do in CC4 now.
Wow, another bad matchup just like in Tag Team Tussle. Now i'm tied for last with Enigma in Replica Wars rankings. Anyway, Replica Wars 4 should be Stock HW.

There is no RW4 planned, I have a different tourney coming up after this.
Also you aren't last, there are a couple of people who are 0-2 or I think 0-3 maybe :P

you two have to get to the final first :PI plan to :cool:
we could say_ the bot that won the rumble of round 2 has won the tournament and everyone`s happy? :gawe:
...well it was worth the try :P
you could team up with DragonFire :D we want to challenge after the neverending story of FPX challenging me but doesn`t send any bots ;)
but this thread is still in showcases and my responsability after all.

wut? :P
bumpI wouldn't think so- after all, you did at least try to skin it and make it work like the real thing.
i wonder if i'll get the spinner from the west award :ermm:

meh too lazy to do anything this weekend or the nextThursday, eh? I look forward to seeing what happens.
maybe something on Thursday if I can get off my lazy @$$
I doubt it. but badnik surly could upload a video soonLet's hope so. But even if I don't win, the opportunity to get to the finals once again is more than enough for me. If I can just take out Rambite and Warrior utilising strategy, before putting Abaddon six feet over with the flippers, I might be able to manage it.
meh my comp's still gone sorryThat's a shame. When do you think you'll get it back?
oh you have to fight warrior?...Thanks for the encouragement, Thy. Although Warrior is indeed a good design, it lacks protection against wedges around the back. Therefore, if I can get it from behind as it's attacking another opponent, I might be able to get under it and flip it out of the Arena, before repeating with the others.
go Kronic! :eek:
I just don`t want to meet Warrior in the final. With NFX on my side we could do some damage to it but the shell is protecting it quite well I guess. Kronic has no external armor so CSII will do major damage to you but then Kronic will flip it OOTA. Then Delldog comes in and finishes you off.Not so sure about the "Major Damage" part- remember that Kronic's front and sides are sloped, so spinner hits will probably only inflict glancing blows there.
who will take the last spot btw?
ha! :DYour first tournament win? Not if I have something to say about it- if I can clinch it, my second tournament title shall be mine! :approve:
this will be my first tournament win!
(Is Kronic british? If so all the finalists [if it comes to Delldog|Corkscrew II|Kronic|Explosion] will be build by people from the robots country :P)
let me just go backstage. I´ll team up with NFX :PHeh, you do that...once I've teamed up with Vertigo however, nothing will save you once the two best flippers in RW3 are on your case :gunz:
(so we would have a RW: did you know that... :P )
Upset of the millenium, mate :gawe:

I noticed- and you still did better than him, even when Vortex Inducer was thrown onto its side- it still scored points and must have done at least a little bit of damage. Nightstalker however, looked so big and clunky that it probably couldn't have scratched Balsa Wood with those little blades.I admit I was quite gleeful about that result too.

And then there's my vow to take out Corkscrew for you when we do meet in the finals :approve:I'm afraid I will have to leave you short-changed on that one, my scone-spreading compadre. =P I'd gladly decimate your flimsy side armour in the final rumble while you're busy trying to flip someone else.
You haven't counted on my turning speed and my sloped armour though- attacks from something as wimpy as beater bars on a sloped 5mm Titanium chassis wouldn't even scratch it- and then there's that gaping ground clearance of yours!And then there's my vow to take out Corkscrew for you when we do meet in the finals :approve:I'm afraid I will have to leave you short-changed on that one, my scone-spreading compadre. =P I'd gladly decimate your flimsy side armour in the final rumble while you're busy trying to flip someone else.
what? :oNo silly. Theres 3 more rumbles in round 2 and the final to film. So four matches.
edit:
I mean: WHAT?!?!
you want to refilm the final four matches? so my place in the final isn`t save jet?
So you're saying you want to go one on one with Tsunami? :PNo, I'm saying I'd want all four participants to be kept in. It's not fair on the other competitors to be kicked out because of something that's entirely out of their control.
So you're saying you want to go one on one with Tsunami? :PMuh ha ha Ha!
my parents still havent given me my own comp back sorryOK then...when do you anticipate you'll get it back? Sorry if I'm sounding impatient, but quite a lot of us are wondering what's going to happen next.
bumpNot at all
would anyone mind if I released the final few vids in a .zip file? I don't have a lot of time to finish this and I want it out of the way.
Why no havok restart?I was just about to ask the same thing.
Why no havok restart?I was just about to ask the same thing.
because
1/ the flipper came off every time I tried to re-do it, and continued havoking
2/ do you want the tourney ended today or not? I have like 10 minutes to get the final uploaded
So the final is
DPWell to be honest with you, this was THE tournament that I wanted to win. I had all the KOs, did a great deal of aggressive work, but no. Then I get cherry tapped by that lucky smegger, he gets to the finals on my back, and I get zilch for all my hard work. Again.
also the final is uploading, and any rematches would have to go another week before they are resolved.
Also, I know how ticked you get when you lose, GF. Sorry, but the final is the final and whatever happens after that I don't care (will be in camp, missing the flame war entirely)
How did Mike's havok affect the outcome? it just flung him into a corner.It threw him out of the arena.
Also Pwn Ko'ed you, Mike almost never touched you.
DPSo you don't want to bother to host your tourney properly?

meh i'm tiredTo tell you that, I'd prefer that to a botched result.
Look, my dad is giving me 5 minutes to finish uploading, then I'm done for another week. I have no time to do a rematch. I'm sorry, but I have no time.
Look, I can get -50 rep and be banned from tourneys for life, but I. HAVE. NO. TIME.
If you want another agonizingly long dry spell like the previous one, it's fine with me.
read the post on top of yoursAnd read my post, too- I'd much rather have the dry spell than have the tournament prematurely ended in such a sloppy, and might I say unfair, fashion.
-If a robot havoks, it gets a free restart ONCE with the remaining competitors (say if a bot havoks when 2 bots are KO'ed, the match would restart with the remaining 2 bots)
yea there isHow does that even work? Rambite never havoked.
-If a robot havoks, it gets a free restart ONCE with the remaining competitors (say if a bot havoks when 2 bots are KO'ed, the match would restart with the remaining 2 bots)
how exactly?No- the Havok KOed Mike, and he just got to the finals on my back. Someone always does that, some lucky smegger killing me at the end to qualify.
He KO'ed you and Mike fair and square.
Or did you mean the incident with JoeBlo's Typhoon Twins?
I have no time to do a rematch. I'm sorry, but I have no time.Dude, you have still have till Dec. 9th to finish this, so don;t tel them you don't have enough time.
Look, I can get -50 rep and be banned from tourneys for life, but I. HAVE. NO. TIME.

I think we now can all agree Badnik is now the cheapest, crummiest person.Look who's talking...
Mike has opted to let the match result stand and not use his restart allowance.Damn it, Mike- you've ruined both of our chances >_<
The Final is now officially valid and the tournament completed
Wait - did i win this thing? O.O
An GTM example of the RW Wiki's "Razor-filled Chocolate Cake Award for the Biggest Reversal of Fortune", you could say :beer:Wait - did i win this thing? O.O
yes :P
Wait - did i win this thing? O.O
Wish it could've been me, though :/Just call for rematch on the challenge board when all the fight members aren't busy.
Holy hooker cant believe i finally won a tournament lol XDWell done on that, mate :beer:
