Rival Rumble - ALL BOTS IN

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Geice vs Mr AS sounds like a better rivalry anyway.

[Gauche Suede]

8. Gauche Suede
9. kaiser112183
12. Mr. AS
14. Bobyasianboy
16. Mystic2000

one of you guys hit me up

fite me mate

k

edit: lol just noticed mr.as sent me a pm to be rivals like 5 minutes after i posted so ill probably go with him. my bad gauche, i still love you though

Nah that's alright.

[Thrackerzod]

Added Rivalry between Geice and Mr. AS.  Four unrivaled people left.

Side note, though it's probably be obvious: the last two people without rivals will get automatically paired with each other.

[The Red Blur]

Something, I don't know what, makes me think that Gauche and Boby should be paired with each other.

[Thrackerzod]

These are the jokers who don't have a rival yet:

Gauche Suede
kaiser112183
Bobyasianboy
Mystic2000

If none of y'all pick anyone by the signups deadline, I'll just randomize the pairings.  Deadline in two days.  Then we'll move on to bot-type-assignment!

[Bobyasianboy]

I can go against Gauche Suede if he's alright with that

[Thrackerzod]

Gauche Suede has accepted Bobyasianboy's challenge, and with that, we have all 8 sets of rivals!

1. TheRedBlur vs DeadGenocide
2. Squirrel_Monkey vs RedAce
3. Kossokei vs Naryar
4. 090901 vs ty4er
5. Sircreepalot2 vs Silverfish
6. Geice vs Mr. AS
7. Bobyasianboy vs Gauche Suede
8. Mystic2000 vs kaiser112183

Now we're onto the bot type assignment phase!  PM me the bot type your rival has to build before the deadline, March 27th!

[Thrackerzod]

8 bot types submitted already!  Keep it up!

[Thrackerzod]

These are the people who still need to send bot types for their rivals to build:

Sircreepalot2
Silverfish
Mystic2000
kaiser112183

I'll send out PMs sometime, I guess.  In the meantime, I gotta build a Stock LW with no wedge.

[Thrackerzod]

Kaiser112183 failed to send in a bot type by the deadline, so KingofKings696 gets his spot.  (Wasn't expecting the backups to come into play yet, but hey.)  KingofKings696 has 1 week to send in a bot type for Mystic2000 to build.

Why not just assign them with bot types?

[Naryar]

>1 WEEK to send a bot type

are you serious ? just send him pm's and if he does not answer in the following days, choose for him.

[Thrackerzod]

I gave everyone else 1 week to submit a bot type, so it's only fair to also give him 1 week.  But that's beside the point, as he's already submitted one.  Here's the assignments list! (also on OP):

TheRedBlur --------Clamp
DeadGenocide ------Chicken Drill

Squirrel_Monkey ---Flying Guillotine
RedAce ------------Clamp

Kossokei ----------Poker
Naryar ------------Poker

090901 ------------Flail Hammer
ty4er -------------Clamp

Sircreepalot2 -----Popup
Silverfish --------Popup

Geice -------------Poker
Mr. AS ------------Full Body Spinner

Bobyasianboy ------Upward Poker
Gauche Suede ------Weaponed Flipper

Mystic2000 --------Chicken Drill
KingofKings696------Vertical Hammer

I notice an interesting strategy from Silverfish and Creepalot.  Not sure how I feel about it, but looks like whoever wins their match is gonna be the one to beat.

[Bobyasianboy]

what even is an upward poker

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Oh great, I love you so much RedAce.
I at least gave you a chance :P

[KingofKings696]

If i were to guess upward poker is probably a bot that slides under opponent and piston fires vertically from underneath.

[Thrackerzod]

what even is an upward poker

Make a poker with pistons that fire at an upwards angle.  For the purposes of this tournament, I'll say I'll allow it as long as the pistons are angled up somewhat, so you don't need to make it fire straight up or anything like that.

[RedAce]

Oh great, I love you so much RedAce.
I at least gave you a chance :P

Honestly, I was trying to go for a bit of irony for what i picked for you.

But yeah, a clamp?  Interesting.  I just hope I don't clone Guard Duty for my final result.

inb4 sircreepalot and silverfish win

[Naryar]

3 clamps, a flying guillotine, a FBS (gotta see what FBS means lol), a weaponed flipper, 4 pokers, 2 hammers, and 2 chicken drills. I like this tournament style already.

Of course there are the two popups, but at least there will be only one popup here.

Eh. Even with bad type matchups I can win this. I'm the mighty Naryar, goddamnit, and my NAR AI building has put me back into good builder material. Bring it on !

Also my reactions-

TheRedBlur --------Clamp
DeadGenocide ------Chicken Drill

>implying they can even do this

Squirrel_Monkey ---Flying Guillotine
RedAce ------------Clamp

this is gonna be a funny match. i think the clamp will win tho, and that's a good thing.

Kossokei ----------Poker
Naryar ------------Poker

LOL

i wanted to do a sidewards poker but it would be dishonorabru AND it wouldn't last against the other bots

090901 ------------Flail Hammer
ty4er -------------Clamp

special olympics anyone ? anyways, i predict some immobilizations, and the clamp will probably win

Sircreepalot2 -----Popup
Silverfish --------Popup

judging from building skill, creepalot will win. otherwise it's popup vs popup. nothing to say here.

Geice -------------Poker
Mr. AS ------------Full Body Spinner

hmm, an interesting match. the one with more weapons will win the match, i think AS can win but not sure. both builders are of equal skill.

Bobyasianboy ------Upward Poker
Gauche Suede ------Weaponed Flipper

weaponed flipper can win because it can self right better than an upwards poker, which needs additional weight over srimech. although i bet gauche will just enter a true popup and call it a weaponed flipper, especially with the strong DSL2.2 bursts.

if gauche wins he will be dangerous, though.

Mystic2000 --------Chicken Drill
KingofKings696------Vertical Hammer

KoK696 should normally win with a hammer against a chicken drill, but i feel Mystic who is the vastly superior builder will win here.

Although chicken drill is hardcore mode in this tourney.

[The Red Blur]

Clamp? Ugh. This is gonna be difficult. I think he chose clamp because he knows my last one was a total fail :P. THE COUP DE GRAVY MK. II IS COMING, DG!
