Title: VG Showdown- Signups
Post by: freeziez on July 01, 2014, 02:02:13 PM
Freeziez tries to make a successful tournament, take 3.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/56019vg.png)

The theme of this tournament is a Video Game Showdown. Each bot must be themed just like a video game (no limitation to how obscure/ridiculous of a game, as long as it is a real video game). People may have 2 bots of the same game, however, they must be different aspects of the game. If two bots are too similar, I will not ask you to rebuild, just re-theme.

YOU CANNOT PICK RA2 OR ANOTHER ROBOT BUILDING/FIGHTING GAME AS YOUR THEME.

Rules:

- Standard DSL MW
- Reskinned DSL Tournament Arena (it's not too bad, I promise)
- 3 minute matches
- No NARmour (if this is still a thing)
- 1 Havok restart, 2nd time eliminated
- BFE, AAM, NCR, Thyrus glitches NOT allowed
- No hax mode
- Cannot use DSA
- Bots with treads get a 60 kg weight cushion.
- Judge bursts are not allowed
- No multibots
- No armor attached directly to the chassis of the robot
- Cheatbot2 components are not allowed
- Each bot must have at least 2 wheels

Bracket style:


The first stage of the tournament will be a 32-person heat challenge, split into 4 groups of four. The top 2 robots from each group will then move on to a double-elimination knockout round of 16. Any tiebreakers will be settled with a single 1-on-1 match. Grand final will be best of 3.

Signups:

1. Rnifnuf- Mario Kart
2. Kurt Wylde- Super Mario 3D World
3. Mouldy King Bash- Tetris
4. S.T.C.- Super Meat Boy
5. Sonny_Resetti- Animal Crossing
6. Qwertythe300th- Oregon Trail
7. 090901- Call of Duty

10. Elementos- Thomas Was Alone
11. TBD Devastator- World of Tanks
12. MassimoV- Dig Dug
13. Mr. AS- I Wanna Be The Boshy

Is this stock-style unrealistic or unrealistic-as-in-not-IRL-but-Standard-instead?

What do you mean? Like what are both of those specifically?

Unrealistic like stock or dsl standard I think is what he asked.

You know there are 3 types of building - Stock, DSL and IRL. Unrealistic usually refers to the Stock style (anything through anything, stacking allowed etc). Standard/DSL-S/etc refers to DSL Standard, where it's not IRL realism but not unrealistic either (no spinners through batteries/wheels etc).

Yeah, I meant standard. First post edited. Thanks.

If its standard then you can remove the "unrealistic" part.

- Moving weapons may not touch the ground initially. It is OK if a robot is flipped over but not if weapons hit the ground when the match starts.
What purpose does this actually serve btw?

Alright, so since the vote hasn't changed much, it looks like the tournament will be DSL-S MW.

Any comments or suggestions? Let me know if you think this should go to signups.
Title: Re: VG Showdown- Discussion
Post by: rnifnuf on July 02, 2014, 11:05:28 PM
Does the bot have to be based on a specific video game or can it be based on a common element across multiple games?
Title: Re: VG Showdown- Discussion
Post by: freeziez on July 02, 2014, 11:51:15 PM
Specific video game. I don't want 16 bots called "gun."

"- Judge bursts are allowed"

dude what the f
You really shouldn't allow Judge bursts because someone will make a  judge burst popup, and plus you said cheatbot2 parts aren't allowed and the judge burst is a totally overpowered burst motor (makes every other burst totally useless).
Title: Re: VG Showdown- Discussion

Freeziez tries to make a successful tournament, take 3.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/56019vg.png)

The theme of this tournament is a Video Game Showdown. Each bot must be themed just like a video game (no limitation to how obscure/ridiculous of a game, as long as it is a real video game). People may have 2 bots of the same game, however, they must be different aspects of the game. If two bots are too similar, I will not ask you to rebuild, just re-theme.

YOU CANNOT PICK RA2 OR ANOTHER ROBOT BUILDING/FIGHTING GAME AS YOUR THEME.

Rules:

- Standard DSL MW
- Reskinned DSL Tournament Arena (it's not too bad, I promise)
- 3 minute matches
- No NARmour (if this is still a thing)
- 1 Havok restart, 2nd time eliminated
- BFE, AAM, NCR, Thyrus glitches NOT allowed
- No hax mode
- Cannot use DSA
- Bots with treads get a 60 kg weight cushion.
- Judge bursts are not allowed
- No multibots
- No armor attached directly to the chassis of the robot
- Cheatbot2 components are not allowed
- Each bot must have at least 2 wheels

Bracket style:


The first stage of the tournament will be a 16-person round robin, split into 4 groups of four. The top 2 robots from each group will then move on to a double-elimination knockout round of 8. Any tiebreakers will be settled with a single 1-on-1 match. Grand final will be best of 3.

Feel free to discuss!

This is now a signups topic and the rules above may not change. As this is a Major League tournament, you have 1 year to complete.

Too bad Havok glitching will result in a DQ. My bright idea was to make some Skate 3 robots that break immediately.

Also, how long will signups be open? I will be busy all of next week and may not be able to construct anything.

it'd be cool if you did a specific game cause i already have a "Mario" bot, but i won't stop you if that's what you want to do.

If the list has the bot's names not the game they're based off of, my bot is called Thomas Wasn't Alone.

I sent my second bot in the event of vacancies.  Neither of my bots have a chance in hell of winning this, if anyone was worried.

Is having more than one bot something i can do without needing higher permission?

It was needed to be stated in the rules before it went to signups, so you'll need the  :thumbup  from Craaig now, I think.

Well with the way the entry list looks so far, I don't think that secondary entries would be a bad thing. Plus I had another bot idea for this anyway so if it is allowed, expect another entry from me.

TBD Devastator accepted (no idea how i'm going to AI this). 1-5 spots left (depending if I do 12 or 16). Everyone send your bots in, and if you've only sent 1 entry, send another!

Yeah, it's pretty interesting looking, and certainly imaginative.
