[DSL MW IRL] The Battle Arcade 2: Sign-ups FULL

[Silverfish]

Well, since the first Battle Arcade was to celebrate my first year of GTM, how about a second for year 2?
Rules are similar to the first Battle Arcade:




DSL DSL-IRL Middleweight
16 Entrants
cheatbot2 banned
NO outside modification (e.g AAM) OTHER THAN BFE, HAX Mode banned, RA2CF NO LONGER BANNED.
Clusterbots banned (I'd rather not have a repeat of the first one, thanks).
Tourney will be double elimination.
One havok restart will be allowed (if it was obvious that the havok directly caused the loss) before forfeit.
You have one major update (defined here as an update that requires me to change AI), and unlimited minor updates. No updates may be submitted after signups.
Fights will be 1v1 bo3, hazards on, until winners top 4, when it will become bo5, hazards off (including for the remainder of losers).
I reserve the right to refuse a bot if I feel it is trying to break rules/abuse loopholes.


Now for the gimmick: If you weren't there for the first Battle Arcade, the gimmick was that the arena was randomly selected from a list that could be contributed to before the tourney entered signups. This will carry over. Feel free to suggest arenas if they are reasonably balanced/skinned! (Tabletop is banned, for example, due to the arena wobbling.)

> retooled

definitely gonna get in on this though

[Silverfish]

I'm considering adding the following arenas, thought I'd run it by you guys, since they're a bit gimmicky:


DSL Ice Arena
DSL Cave Arena
Honey I Shrunk the Bots
The Batcave


Thoughts?

Dear god, no.

[Philippa]

Do it man, your tourney, don't see anything wrong with any of those arenas to be honest.

[Tashic]

If IRL ends up being chosen, will the no CF rule still apply?
Honestly wouldn't bother me actually, it would be kind of like going back to pre-CF IRL tournaments, it would be an interesting twist because of that.

[Mr. AS]

I can throw some arenas your way to increase the selection.

Do it man, your tourney, don't see anything wrong with any of those arenas to be honest.

Not serious enough.

Also, if the Pyramid is that one from DSL I say remove it.

[090901]

i like the idea of those arena tbh since most of them have uneven floors which would hurt wedges and maybe make people raise their ground clearances

Literally this. This tourney was designed to be a matter not only of whose bot/bot type was better, but a matter of what arena you got. It's like the Battle Arcade from the Pokemon Games (which is where I get the name and arena gimmick): Absolutely ridiculously imbalanced toward whatever side got the better end of the roll. I actually considered adding the Insanity Arena and Geosphere Battledome to the first tourney, but there IS a line I'm drawing. I don't want it to be all RNG, but I do want that element, and you have to admit, watching anything play out on, say, the AON2 arena or The Pyramid is absolutely hilarious. In fact, the bo3/5 mechanic was actually implemented so that people didn't rage from getting screwed by the arena in a bo1.

[Dreamcast]

Mars Arena?

Not serious enough.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

But if it's IRL, then you must only do things that are done IRL. There are no ice caves to fight in, therefore, we may not fight in ice caves.

[Silverfish]

Some notes: Added Honey I Shrunk the Bots. Tbh, I don't think it's really that imbalanced (the worst thing that could happen is getting stuck on the board XD)
Removed Fight 2 the Finish. It was never actually supposed to be on the list in the first place. During the first battle arcade, it tended to glitch out and have bots spawning in the corner post/wall.

[Dadddjent]

im down mah dude.
i already have 5 bots that i made...the question is which one tho.

[Shield]

regardless of mod i demand flextop arena with hazards on and mars base be put into the arena list

[NeonCalypso]

High Dive Firepit when?

[Silverfish]

High Dive Firepit when?

Noon sharp, January 90th, -1


Anyway, a reminder: Tomorrow is the LAST DAY TO VOTE ON MODE AND ARENAS. I will be moving this thing to signups A.S.A.P. on Saturday, so get moving if you want to suggest something.
