Trios of Terror II - SBV

[Mr. AS]

Can you have my SNS just spin in place next match instead of doing whatever it was doing in the first match?

[Sircreepalot2]

jfc wolverine calm down

[Fracture]

haha yes our team went ham! respect to kid_krusher, no need to feel sorry

jfc wolverine calm down

channeled the full bloodthirsty passion of hugh jackman there. i honestly thought i was gonna lose that round, too

redace's dsl bot got stuck in an unfortunate position, i thought it was a clear winner going in to the match

want to mention that i'm enjoying how often these videos are being uploaded. gives me the ideal amount of time to enjoy each round as it comes out. also loving the music

[Kid_Krusher13]

History was made on this day...Rusty Death Plunger has become my first tournament win. I can't wait for Fractured to carry my fat arse to a title. Nah jk I'll try. Also Wolverine Slamjobbed Geminized. Well done lad.

[RedAce]

Loser's Round 2 Matches are up and the brackets are updated now.

Can you have my SNS just spin in place next match instead of doing whatever it was doing in the first match?

Well, I tried to, but I couldn't quite get it to work.  I'm using FBS_2.py, but I couldn't quite get it to sit in place initially.  Sorry bro.  Besides, you never sent me the AI lines like you said you would.

[Fracture]

damn, we had to face one of the scariest teams already? at least we walk away with that great 3-0 win

the first two rounds were really close for redace! too bad the big flip and point lead came in at the end

[Kid_Krusher13]

I wanna thank Fractured for putting up with my stupidity in the pits. I'll be back to tournaments soon. You haven't seen the last of me...

[Silverfish]

Alright, here are my thoughts on the upcoming winner's matches:

Creepalot vs S_M:
Stock: Honestly, creepalot eats SM's stock bot for breakfast. It seems a perfect counter.
DSL: This is going to be a massive wedj war. SM's looks better, but I don't know.
IF: Another wedge war, however this time creepalot looks at a significant disadvantage.
prediction:
XoXo ;D vs Crouching Robot, Extra Crouch
YAAAAS XDXD vs V=IR Evo
;D Rawr XP vs L = XRP

Silverfish/Badger vs Thrackerzod:
Stock: I have hopes that with that exposed HPZ being the only weapon, Eddy can knock it weaponless and get its first win here.
DSL: Comes down mostly to two things: Who has a better wedge, and if Go Play Ironforge can hit that once again exposed motor.
IF: Complete and total wedge/endurance war, unless for some reason, badger made 115's spinner spin down...
predictions:
Eddy vs Oblivion
Ammunition vs Go Play Ironforge (Honestly, I have no clue who wins this)
115 vs Immortal (But it'll be really close either way)

[Badger]

I may as well do some predictions too

Creepalot vs S_M:
Stock: Creepalot's bot is a hard counter. 1-0 to creepalot
DSL: I don't see Creep's bot being able to lock down S_M's flipper, which looks quite powerful. Predicing an OOTA. 1-1
Ironforge: SM's wider double wedge and weapon setup will control and destroy creep's bot. 2-1 to SM

Badgerfish vs Thrackerzod:
Stock: I think Thrackerzod's bot is fast enough to run down Creep's bot before it can spin up. 1-0 to Thrackerzod
DSL: Total wedge war. Putting my faith in my metal hinges over skirt hinges. 1-1
Ironforge: I'm confident thata 115's wedges are better, and I think it outweapons in the event of a wedgelock. 2-1 to Badgerfish

[RedAce]

Got the Round 3 Matches done (a lot quicker than what I was expecting).  And these feature some of my favorite matches thus far.

[Badger]

Thanks for the fast upload!

I ain't predicting anything again. Sorry silverfish.

NP, man, we still have losers. Anyway, you by far have done better than me. I lost BOTH of my first two fights. What I can't believe is that Thrackerzod managed to kill GPI. :P

[Thrackerzod]

Bad matchup for Oblivion there, it's not great against HSes.  Surprised Ammunition managed to win that for me, I'm pretty sure it's my weakest bot of the three.  GG guys, it was a close one.

Also, it looked like those front armor plates on Ammunition were actually stopping GO PLAY IRONFORGE from going up the wedge.  Since I'm up against another wedgebot in the next round, I'd like to ask if RedAce could take those plates off my bot for the next match.  Unless you've already recorded it, or something.

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Where I'm going, I don't need no wheels. Though I fear my run ends here. Thrakerzod hard counters me at least once and V=IR evo isn't pulling its weight so far.

[RedAce]

I'd like to ask if RedAce could take those plates off my bot for the next match.

Sorry, but I can't remove them.  Not because I haven't recorded it, it's just that I can't make changes to any bot once signups have closed (with the exception of small AI bits).  That's like if Team Tornado were to make an anti-crusher frame for one specific match-up at the very last minute (If anyone is willing to argue about this being fair or not, at least take it to a different thread).  It would cause controversy, it's simpler to just stick with what I got, and frankly, it's not entirely fair to anyone really.

Not a promblem!  We'll just have to see how it goes, then!

Figured there was no harm in asking, though.

[Sircreepalot2]

my bot actually,,, killed itself???

[RedAce]

Loser's Round 3 is now up.  Assuming nothing goes wrong, I might actually finish this tournament tonight.

If you could that would be awesome

Silverfish really carrying me now, but I still think we can win with some luck, I think our only loss came from some bad luck in the DSL match IIRC

[yugitom]

I loved the DSL bout in round 3 battle 1 of the losers. My favourite way to win a match :D

Same with the DSL bout in battle 2, haha. I don't think that havok forfeit was needed :P

The end to the Ironforge bout was cool, too, haha.
