votey votey votey vooooot

Best Robot:
LW: 3D Pinball Space Cadet (I seriously think it is still tryhard, but I cannot deny its ferocious damage potential. It managed to come third for a reason, and I hope to see the ring spinner appear again, albeit less overloaded on weapons.)
MW: Labrys (This was easily the biggest surprise robot of the competition. Didn't think much of it in the semis even if the turreted axe was cool, but a perfect streak and another runner-up position to RedAce's name made Labrys the best of the MW's.)
HW: Mass Accelerator (I gotta admit, this robot is bloody dangerous, and even without improvements, it managed to succeed well, with a runner-up position.)

Unluckiest Robot:
LW: Tazmaniac (Loved the look and it battled well, but having to lose by about 1000 points against Disco Revo was bad luck. Didn't help that HX540C turned its arse into a twisty pretzel.)
MW: Mechanized Autism (I really think it was finals material with its weapon-breaking offense, but a KO from Corvus really screwed it over. #****YouCorvus)
HW: Arachnida (Whoa, what a story this had. Started by being the CW robot, ended up re-recording as a HW and still ended up on the bottom against DentoPhobia. If Arach was in another heat, it would've gone through.)

Coolest Robot:
LW: T-Bone (A rather unique design that I would certainly love to see do better in another tournament. T-Bone certainly stood out as unique among the sea of HS'es.)
MW: Labrys (I still think Labrys looks awesome. Also did very well, too, hence, being in 2 awards.)
HW: Ript Again!/Fork Flip 2 (I cannot decide on either of Tash's HW's, so I had to put them both together. Looked good, fought good, what more can I say?)

Worst Robot:
LW: Gaming Grandpa (Seriously, **** Gaming Grandpa. I know I can whip the dead and decaying horse that is Lawnmower, but I despise the BS of defensive offense in IRL and it really bloody irritated me when I first saw it - even worse than the original 3DPBSC! Seeing it lose in its group really made everything right in the tournament, to be honest.)
MW: Pokey (Baconus, there's nowhere to hide. It's a 4WD crapbox that wasnt invertible, wasn't protected, couldn't self-right, had a high ground clearance, used 2 storm bursts (for some reason) and was a total havoking bloody mess.)
HW: john the robbut (Can we stop with this meme now? It's no longer funny.)

[Baconus_Yum]

MW: Pokey (Baconus, there's nowhere to hide. It's a 4WD crapbox that wasnt invertible, wasn't protected, couldn't self-right, had a high ground clearance, used 2 storm bursts (for some reason) and was a total havoking bloody mess.)

Everything you just said was right.

This was a terrible bot. Even comparing it to Whacker.

Again, I am gonna promise to not make those kinda techs again.

[F1Krazy]

Best Entry
LW: 3D Pinball Space Cadet. A bit tryhard, perhaps, but an unbeaten record in the first two stages is not to be sniffed at.
MW: Radioactive Material. Swept all before it, yet again. If there were a "Luckiest Robot" or "Most Surprising Robot" category, I'd vote Labrys for that, but there isn't, so I can't.
HW: Kyros' Power. The Storm 2 of GTM. Rams bots straight out of the arena and doesn't afraid of anything.

Unluckiest Robot
LW: Rigor Motors. Could easily have reached the final. Could possibly have won the entire thing. But then that KO happened.
MW: Nebula. Again, could have reached the final and done quite well, but in the decider against Labrys its first blow knocked it upside-down and that was the end of it. Very unfortunate.
HW: Arachnida. First there was the fiasco with the wrong version being used, then it tied for second place and had to face Dentophobia in a play-off... which is naturally lost. I agree with Doot; if just one fight had gone differently for it, or it was in a slightly different group, it would have gone through.

Coolest Robot
LW: HX540C Cobalt Tsunami. Looks awesome even when it's Mauler-dancing like a mad thing.
MW: Mr. Uppercut. An ingenious (and now oft-imitated) idea, a cool-looking bot, and it actually performed decently well to boot.
HW: Fork Flip 2. As much as I want to vote for Kyros' Power for this as well, Fork Flip 2 just looks cool as all hell.

Worst Robot
LW: Oh boy, so many candidates... there's Keylock, whose battery ran out in about 30 seconds... Bacchanalia, which sat there doing nothing... LawnMower, which speaks for itself... you know what, I can't decide.
MW: Pokey. No debating this one. Sorry Baconus. At least you acknowledge how terrible it was.
HW: NaziBot Evo. As if making me fear for my job security wasn't bad enough, it actually lost every single one of its matches. Stupid idea, stupidly executed, deserves this award. [Dishonorable mention: Bloody Orange because what the hell]

Best Moment
LW: That KO by Cobalt Tsunami on Rigor Motors.

[Probably Rob]

And with that... Sword of Glory is officially finished. It's been a long ride. A lot of emotions have happened. But it's been fun.

Thank you all to those who have entered, disqualified, watched, and rigged.

Big thank you to DemonOfTomorrow for the cool ranking data, that he didn't have to do but did anyway because apparent autism purposes  <3


I'll allow this thread to be left open for a couple of hours if anyone has any final words.

For my final words, I'll say that I love you all. Thank you for sticking with me, I love you Demon especially, and one of the questions throughout was why I did this. I'm a masochist, I guess? Would I do it again... ohnowewillhavetowaitandsee


Congratulations to the winners, and award winners!





Hey, you guys see that? Am I going crazy, or... that tent wasn't there before? Or was it? Strange... let's go inside, there might be a circus in there. Pffft... yeah right... can't be. Surely... but let's find out...

Ayyyy, thanks <3. Before the tournament closes, I am going to reveal all of the ranking table thingies I made regarding all of the builders' robots.
