One thing I don't like about the havok rule I'm using is that I have to decide who havoked in each circumstance. That said, recording Rival Rumble was a bit of a pain due to not having a havok rule, so I figured I needed to have one. If folks generally think that that match needs to be rerun (or even that Wen should have gotten both havoks and Meat Locker should have won), let me know now and I'll see what I can do.

I've just been going on "the one that flips out is the one that havoked".

I just checked myself, and each havok was about 1-2 seconds after one of Wen's weapon motors came off. I assumed Meat Locker was the one causing the havoks, because it was the one flying off everywhere while Wen's was relatively stable, but is that not the case? TBH I'm not too mad either way, as I was losing on points on both occasions before the havok occurred, so even if this fight gets done again I'll mostly likely either lose again, or win by havok DQ, which isn't really a win.

In both rounds your bot still had both its weapon motors when the havoks occured, helps to watch in 1080p 1/4 speed, especially for the 1st round
Title: Re: Ribcage Rampage SBV
Post by: Mecha on October 23, 2016, 01:20:58 PM: Wen's bot definitely seems to have caused the havoks, in both matches.

Title: Re: Ribcage Rampage SBV
Post by: UberPyro on October 25, 2016, 02:53:18 PM: In that last episode the trumpet lined up perfectly with the bot falling out of the arena, it almost sounded like an airplane.

OK, I'm up in the next match. I'm probably just going to be deweaponed and dewedged in the first 30 seconds and promptly destroyed. Either that or I'm going to do somersaults over the sides of the arena. We'll wait to see exactly how I'll lose.
Title: Re: Ribcage Rampage SBV
Post by: Thrackerzod on October 26, 2016, 10:46:09 AM: Here's today's episode:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpRmD1tW8Bg

To clarify, this decision is due to the "If a bot gets thrown off of the arena, it loses, regardless of whether RA2 decides to end the match or not" rule. I added the rule to prevent situations like in Rival Rumble where one bot was OOTA but was too tall to trigger the killzone. In this case, however, Bonemerang left the arena first, meaning that it lost and the match ended.

Anyway, with that, we're done the first round. From here until the end, I'll be releleasing two episodes per day rather than just one, so expect the pace to pick up a bit!

Tomorrow will be both matches of Losers' Round 1, so get your predictions ready!
Title: Re: Ribcage Rampage SBV
Post by: UberPyro on October 26, 2016, 02:18:45 PM: Well, I didn't expect to lose quite like that.

For my next match I think I have some odds of winning, as it will probably come down to a wedge war.

Another quick one. I knew Meat Locker's weaponry would be effective if it was given a chance, and Steve gave it more than a chance.

Me too. I know large treads are durable, which is why I tend to use 'em in Ironforge, but I didn't think they were THAT durable.

Your bot's been surprising me. I thought for sure it was too underweaponed to achieve anything. Turns out those saws are pretty good if you're given an opportunity.

I think the ice cannons help as well, combined with the ninja stars they can rack up a frightening amount of damage.

Also, is there anything Spooky Scary Skeletons hasn't been mashed up with?

I mean, I'd like to do another one next Halloween, but that's kinda a long time away, so plans could change.

In the meantime, I'm sure to run some other tournaments with stupid gimmicks you could check out.
Title: Re: Ribcage Rampage SBV
Post by: Thrackerzod on November 03, 2016, 08:51:06 PM: A big thanks to everyone who participated and everyone who watched this tournament! I had a lot of fun making it, and I hope you enjoyed it as well.

As I have done with my last couple of tournaments, I'm going to give out some awards. No voting, since usually only two people vote anyway.

REALLY PRESTIGIOUS AWARDS:

BEST BUILDER WHO HAS ENTERED ALL OF MY TOURNAMENTS: RedAce, with Mr. Bones: Skeleton Warrior. After controversially not getting this award in Dynamic 2uos, he's earned it back this time around.
MOST UNLUCKY: UberPyro, with Bonemerang. A first round loss to a weird rule interpretation, and a second round loss to Pizzaguy. If that's not unlucky, I need to buy a new dictionary.
SONIC "GOTTA GO FAST" THE HEDGEHOG AWARD: Mr. Bones' Annoying Neighbor, built by Pizzaguy2020. With its 4-wheel Twinbird drive, this bot was sure to leave burnout marks across the arena floor.
BEST BOT BUILT AT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE FOR NO APPARENT REASON: steve, built by 090901. 09's interesting design choice challenges the standards of society, and makes you question your own innermost self.
BEST BOT WITH NO WEDGES: Mr. WEN kill your weapon., built by WenXiangLee. Wen dared to go wedgeless for this tournament, and it paid off for him, with his bot reaching the Winners' Semifinal before being knocked out.
BEST BOT NAME: Mr. Bones' Wild Ride, built by Ben Purse. You can't improve on perfection, a fact Ben Purse demonstrated by boldly leaving his robot's name unchanged from the template chassis.
MOST DEADLY Meat Locker, built by F1Krazy. Every match Meat Locker won, it did so by destroying its opponent, unlike most of the fights in this tournament, which were ended by OOTAs. Even more impressive, this is coming from a robot I initially thought would be horribly underweaponed!
WORST USE OF FLAMETHROWERS: Bonechill, built by Thrackerzod. Bonechill has VS weapons designed to throw its opponents out of the arena. It also has flamethrowers, which work best when you can grab and hold your opponent in place. Why I put these together remains a mystery.

Welp, with that, the tournament's done. Let's end on a high note:
