Don't take these to heart. These predictions are just how I feel and nobody else (yet). Lightweights 1. Deathstalker - I love thwackbots - even more when they're done right. He should breeze through just about everything. Windmill is probably his biggest obstacle. 2. The Windmill - Yeah, there isn't much that can stand up the Dutch motherfucker. Deathstalker has a shit-ton of speed though and at least decent armour, so that match will prove difficult. 3. SNK - He's actually really not that bad. A spinner with some pushability. Very nice. 4. Microwave - I dunno, I think the weapon split nerfs his spinner quite a bit. But he should hang in there. 5. Spike - Oh my god the weapon power. Oh my god the low speed... oh my god those hammers look unwieldy... but sexy nonetheless. 6. Kite - Lots of armour and some flippability. The problem? He can't push worth a damn. But he's fast, right? Right?!? 7. Zadkiel - Not bad but he actually seems weaker than last tournament. I can't put my finger on why. Maybe it's the opposition. 8. Lava Spire Daredevil Run - That name man. Err... Actually he's pretty nice but a lot of the other robots seem to outdo him. 9. Scatterbrain - NO NICK, I WILL NEVER PUT HIM LAST. MUHUHAHAHAHA *cough* Wait, what was I doing? Oh yeah. He's not THAT bad, just mostly ineffective. 10. Mr. Not Very Nice 3 - ...is that seriously a thwack? It's going to be very ineffective. He'll be very decent if he just doesn't try thwacking... ugh. 11. Turbine - It's incredibly decent for a first attempt, but at the same time shows many beginner flaws that other will take advantage of... sorry man. 12. Stabby Joe - Uhm... I'm putting it at the bottom simply because I have no fucking clue how well it's going to do... but 3 armour speaks volumes... Middleweights 1. Merry Hampton BR - Goddamn it, he's back. Bullshit. 2. Revolutions Per Minute - Goddamn it, HE'S back too. Shitfuck. 3. Marauder - He's actually very very good this time around and only the above robots can hold a large candle to him. 4. Automaton - Fucking wedges, how do they work? 5. Clown Breath - Eat it, Spatula! Clown Breath gonna roll ova j00!6. Pterodactyl - An odd flipper hampered slightly by speed/traction disparity and narrow ends. 7. March or Die 3 - Always a contender, but never quite a winner. ![]() 8. Perseus - Decently armour and powerful weapon... but not quite fast enough. 9. Immolator - Just because it's inspired by a champion doesn't immediately make it one. As such, that poor control and traction is going to harm him a lot.10. WarWolf - Putting him here because we have no idea how many wheels he has and we need to now guess how good he is at getting under things. 11. Sneak Beast - Another nice effort but his wedge is way too steep to get under anything. Live and learn. 12. Bad Idea! - umm... Heavyweights 1. Redemption Denied - Uhm... holy shit. Why do I love this thing so much? 2. Thunder Ball: Charged - It's a very low rammer. Nuff said. 3. Pursuit - It's another low rammer, ThunderBall beats it in wedginess though. Do you accept the challenge, Nick? 4. Seras - Untested concept but should do well with the low wedge and incredible torque. 5. Dreadnought - He's pretty solid but there are more solid bots above. 6. Adjudicator - Original Sin with a drum. We'll see how he does, but he's looking pretty decent. 7. Mr. Death - He's BORING AS FUCK. But that doesn't make him ineffective.8. Terror-Dactyl - He actually has a decent chance as long as he can avoid getting flipped. 9. Hammerfell - He has a low lifter, blargh. Axe won't do damage worth beans though. 10. Station to Station - Probably the best stats you could give to a clusterbot nowadays, but it won't save him. 11. Spinny Death Hammer...er - Has the exact same stats War Bastard had in FRR5. But there are too many bricks here to really let him reign supreme around here. 12. Golden Blaze - Ugh. Mystic, you should have just kept the stats the same. =/. Superheavyweights 1. Murder Death Unit - Go to hell. 2. Industrial Bastardization - Always a bride's mate, never a bride. 3. Corrupted Politician 3 - Generic flipper, will be a threat. 4. Parabolic Trajectory - Non-generic flipper, like it more than CP3 but for some reason I see it doing worse. 5. Phantasmic Slammer - Not fond of the flipper teeth but he's never looked more powerful. Considering the place I've booked him, not really that great... 6. Fulcrum - 4-bars ftw! 7. Lethal Injection - tbh, he really deserves higher than this but the SHW class looks to be the most competitive so he has to make due with 7th. 8. Barracuda - Spatch's SHW goes to 4WD. Too many bricks in the segment though for Spatch to really do much damage to, and average speed don't help. 9. F-Dynasty - He honestly doesn't need all that armour, maybe an armour bonus to the puncher would have been better. All the other bricks are going to murder him. 10. Chemical Reaction - He is actually a very decent vertical spinner and Viluy would have had company if I'd entered her, but just... too many flippers here. 11. DeathBOX - Yes, it's bad. But it's still going to beat Pathos. Why? Well... 12. Pathos - That flipper is incredibly ineffective and the axe will nothing to him. ---- Now go out and prove me wrong!

Yeah don't worry about it, most newbies get off to a rocky start and, besides, my predictions are never truly spot on. On the flipside, Terror-Dactyl could be pretty good and is probably your best chance. |

I must say I'm liking those chances, particularly with regards to Marauder and Deathstalker. With any luck, I could be onto some winners, here.

Fingers crossed Terror Dactyl to do well in it's debut. The middleweight is by far the worst one I have ever come up with. Turbine is my second best whilst Chemical Reaction for me is 3rd in my team... I might upgrade three in the future and retire one of them. |

My predictions so far- I'll update them accordingly. Lightweight Champion- Windmill. Of all the LW Spinners here today, I'd say the old guard looks like the most robust and powerful of them. I'll be very surprised if it doesn't at least make the Playoffs. Runner Up- Microwave. Another very solid-looking Spinner design, here. The weapon split affects his power a bit, but he's got a very good wedge and a potential back-up in case the Spinner goes out, so I can see him doing very well, here. Finalists- Kite and SNK. Kite's pretty quick and has the strength and flipping power behind it to tank a lot of the designs here, but I think the aforementioned two will just be too strong for it. SNK's good too, I can see him doing reasonably well, but its big wheels and thin wheelguards could prove to be its downfall against stronger opponents. Dark Horse- Turbine. For a first-time entrant, I do quite like this one a lot. Although the flat sides will most likely prove problematic for it when it comes against the Spinners, I can see it doing quite well against the others. |

Want to swap, then? XD EDIT: I must say though, I'm somewhat surprised by Lethal Injection being ranked as low as it is here, considering how it did last time. |

Team Blood Gulch Motto

Josh's STONE! COLD! LEAD! PIPE! LOCKS! LW: What I like about LW this season is that it feels like a wide-open class that just about anyone could probably win. We have a healthy crop of spinners and some non-vanilla rammers. 1. Deathstalker -This could be a good example of right place, right time as Alex is going with a proven design type and he's got some pretty nice stats. A bit more armor may have been nice with all the spinners, but I think he'll still be just fine. 2. Kite -Yeah, what are you going to do about it Kody? A solid flipper arm and armor to spare for the spinners. He's going to be a very tough customer to deal with.3. Windmill -Very well may be the most distinguished in the LW spinner crowd and certainly the one with the most previous success. He packs a hell of a punch, that's for sure. 4. Microwave -Well I'm not really sold on the lifter concept, but I guess we'll see. He's kind of basic as spinners go otherwise, but sometimes keeping things simple is what you need to do. 5. Spike -He feels pretty boom or bust. He packs the biggest punch in LW, but he's also on the slow side (even by spinner standards). He should still be able to deal out some hurt along the way though. 6. SNK -A cool design from Badnik, though I'm not thrilled with the speed/traction ratio. Still other bots have made it work so maybe he can too. 7. Zadkiel -Starting to notice the spinner logjam aren't we? Zadkiel is a solid spinner no doubt, but he seems a bit bulky for the LW class. I just don't see the rear wedge helping too much. 8. Scatterbrain -I guess I'll give Nick points for trying here, but it's tough to make those Y-drive thwacks work. At least he's got good enough armor to take a punch. 9. Turbine -He's a pretty basic flipper design, but has fairly decent statting, but his boxy shape leaves him overly vulnerable to the spinners and better wedges. 10. Mr. Not Very Nice -Ideally he'd be better than this ranking but that thwack arm isn't going to be worth spit with that hammer head (or lack there of). He still has the wedge, but that's really not going to be enough. 11. Lava Spire Daredevil Run -There's a reference here I'm not getting I'm sure. He's probably better than this ranking, but his weapon set-up confuses the hell out of me. 12. Stabby Joe -Probably not much good luck in your future with only 3 armor amigo and the wedges will have a field day too. MW: Doesn't seem quite as wide-open as LW, but there doesn't seem to be as many "high confidence" bots here either. Or maybe I'm just stupid (that's probably most likely). 1. Merry Hampton -Eh fuck you Lian. 2. Revolutions Per Minute -I'd feel pretty good about him winning it all if he didn't have Merry Hampton to deal with. He should tear through everyone else pretty well though. 3. March or Die -MoD has steadily become a top level MW competitor, it's just a shame for him that the previous two are also entered this season. 4. Pterodactyl -He's got a bit of an unusual shape, but I'm pretty sure that's a good thing. Normally I'd like to see the flipper arm be a bit wider, but I think it'll still work. 5. Marauder -He should be much better than last time, but ultimately I don't know if he'll be able to keep pace with all the above bots. 6. Clown Breath -Well here we go again. Fortunately there shouldn't be any issues with writers not knowing how he works this time. Still he has to beware of the flippers here. 7. Perseus -A pretty lethal looking hammer, but he's looks a bit to slow to really get enough use out of it. 8. Automaton -He's pretty much a more "meh" version of MoD with tougher armor. A couple of those points would probably have been better served elsewhere. 9. Immolator -Yay, vertical spinners! That speed/traction ratio is really worrying though. 10. Sneak Beast -An interesting idea, but the rear disc is probably a waste with the weapon power being what it is. He also may be a bit too boxy as well. 11. WarWolf -He might be a bit better off than his predecessor was, but probably not by much. 12. Bad Idea -As Dancing Headless demonstrated in No Mercy having a limited range/direction weapon with only 3 speed is the real bad idea! HW: Armor bonuses everywhere, but virtually no spinners in sight! Very interesting, but on the other hand also likely very dull. 1. Redemption Denied -Normally I'd try to avoid ranking myself at the top, but RD looks pretty good here. He should be able to shake off bad memories of the old couch flipper at the very least! 2. Dreadnought -He's been a very dependable HW flipper for a little while now and there isn't much in the way of spinners to give him any grief. 3. Station to Station -Multi's have always been pretty much boom or bust, but I have a good feeling about Nick's entry making some noise. The stats look really nice overall. 4. Seras -She's a pretty cool concept and that torque-clamp could give her an edge over the other rammers if it works as well as I think it can. 5. Thunderball -He'd be a real best if there were a high number of spinners around, but he should still do just fine regardless. 6. Pursuit -He slips just below Thunderball since he doesn't have quite as much auxiliary wedging, but I doubt it'll really be that much of a difference anyway. 7. Mr. Death -More basic wedge/rammer action. Remember that logjam of spinners in LW, that's pretty much what we've got going here with rammers in HW. 8. Terror-Dactyl -I'm taking a bit of a flyer on him (inasmuch as you can call the 8th ranking taking a flyer), but I like the concept and he looks pretty cool. 9. Hammerfall -There's a lot of competition with too strong of armor for that hammer to really make as much of an impact as Lian would like. 10. Adjudicator -This really isn't a bad bot at all, but I just don't see that drum being as effective as Alex would like. Too many quick wedges that should be able to avoid it pretty well. 11. Golden Blaze -He's the only spinner of consequence here, but he doesn't pack enough of a punch to take out any of the rammers. 12. Spinney Death Hammer...er -Extremely high weapon clearance, completely non-invertible with no way to self right. Yikes man. SHW: On paper this looks basically like a two bot race and that's it. But we've thought similar things before and stranger things have happened. Remember everyone: Only YOU can prevent Nick and Kody from being fucking dicks! 1. Murder Death Unit -What happened to you Nick? You used to be cool. 2. Industrial Bastardization -No Final Boss to give him grief this time. He might be able to topple MDU, and he'll be near-impossible for anyone else to deal with. 3. Parabolic Trajectory -In just about any other set of circumstances he'd be a championship favorite. He's still going to do great though. 4. Barracuda -Can't go wrong with that high powered hammer and lifter combo. Control might be a slight issue, but he should be fine. 5. Lethal Injection -A good bot but he's got to deal with some really tough competition. He's got some nice versatility to work with though. 6. Phantasmic Slammer -Like Zombie Killer back in the ARC tournament days, this guy just won't go away. I wouldn't expect him to be able to finally grab that championship with THIS SHW class though. 7. Fulcrum -He probably over-performed in FRR, but should still be competitive here. 8. Corrupted Politician 3 -He's undergone a dramatic makeover, but I don't know how much it'll help him. 9. F-Dynasty -Sorry Lian, but I'm not really buying into the design. Especially not with the stats the way they are. 10. Chemical Reaction -A pretty cool vert spinner, but this just isn't a good season for him to be in this weight class. 11. Death Box -It's hard for me to see him doing much useful except eat some spinner hits. Wedges/flippers will have a field day. 12. Pathos -Erm... no. Thing's don't look good here. |

More good ratings are always nice to see. ![]() Hopefully I can live up to some of the better ones. Going by the rankings, Deathstalker looks to be my best bet, but considering my other robots are all solidly ranked but up and down some depending on who's doing the rankings (Dreadnought for Second Place in the HWs, I particularly like the look of!), but I think this could be my big chance to have my robots all positively-ranked for once. Considering I've now won a Championship, I'll try to go for that predominantly, get as many of my machines into the Playoffs as I can, and maybe win another title as well. If I can do all that, that'd be cool. |

I'm not too worried about the bots you guys are ranking above Slammer. Also, I feel like Immolator's going to do slightly better than you all think. Maybe not a champion, but definitely better than 9th. I'll do my predictions tomorrow. |

OK, predictions time Lightweight: Champion: Deathstalker Going with the crowd here, it looks incredibly solid and impervious to damage. Armor's a little low for my tastes but that's about it, should be a dominant force. Runner-Up: Microwave This thing's gonna be incredibly hard to damage, while dealing damage of its own. I can't see it losing very much. Semi-Finalists: The Windmill and Kite Windmill is absolutely vicious and should do well as always. Kite has improved massively from its last tournament, and with the added anti-spinner scoop and wider stance I think it'll hold up well against the spinners. Quarter Finalists: SNK and Spike SNK is a powerful spinner with some pushability, only worries is how it'll stand up to other spinners. Spike's 15 weapon power speaks volumes, I'm just worried about how unwieldy those hammers look, and if it'll pinball very much... Dark Horse: Turbine It looks sleek and effective, but those exposed corners mean it'll probably lose to most of the spinners in the class. Still, I can see it winning a few matches at least. Middleweight: Champion: Merry Hampton BR I really don't think Lian will have many problems winning the MW class, the MW class is kind of lacking this time around. It's still as strong and pushy as ever. Runner-Up: Marauder I think Alex's MW will do very well, it's improved hundredfold from its last competition and it has enough torque to push with the best of them. I don't think it'll have many issues with spinners either. Semi-finalists: Revolutions Per Minute and Automaton RPM won last time and its improvements make me think it'll be on the road to doing it again, my only fears is the large number of heavy-armored bricks this time around. Automaton has tons of armor and a low enough wedge to really do some work in this MW class. Its torque seems a little low though. Quarter finalists: Clown Breath and March or Die Clown Breath is gonna take some advice from its brother Influenza and really deal some damage this tournament. I think Playzooki's finally got March or Die dialed in enough to be strong with it, and with its big flipper on the front and rear it won't have any issues with wedging. Dark Horse: Immolator I think you all are underestimating this guy, but we'll see... Heavyweights: Champion: Thunder Ball: Charged It might seem a little narcissistic of me to put my own bot here, but I feel incredibly confident with it. Its got enough armor to deal with spinners and enough wedge to deal with other bricks. Runner-up: Seras I think it's going to do a lot better than everyone thinks. That wedge is incredibly low, and it's going to be the death of spinners and unprotected wedges alike. Semi-Finalists: Redemption Denied and Pursuit RD looks fantastic and is in my opinion powerful enough to get here. Pursuit is as low and bricky as it was last time, but I think it'll be outperformed by others. Quarter-Finalists: Terror-Dactyl and Station to Station TBR has a very good bot here, and with the number of bricks with big, flat tops it could really do some good damage. TBR's also proving himself to be a decent RP'er. Station to Station did fairly well in RoS and brick multibots always seem to do fairly well. It might not win, but I think it'll make the quarters at least. Dark Horse: Adjudicator New bot by Alex MW, the only one in his team. Low-powered drums don't seem to do well in HW (just remember Intimidator and Heart of Darkness) but I think with Alex's skill and its backup wedge it'll do fairly well. Super Heavyweight: Champion: Industrial Bastardization Yes Kody I do think you'll win SHW. It's fast, it's well armored and I think it'll beat MDU. Runner-Up: Phantasmic Slammer Yep it's me again. I'm hungry for that title, dammit! I just don't think I can beat IB. Semi-Finalists: Murder Death Unit: Genocide and Parabolic Trajectory Nick's got a strong bot here, only issue is one flip can take it out and there's a lot of fucking flippers in this weight class. Case in point, Alex's. Parabolic Trajectory won last season and I think it'll be strong enough to make it here. Quarter-Finalists: Lethal Injection and Barracuda LI is a pretty good bot, just the bots ahead it are better. Barracuda's probably gonna do pretty well too, it's got the low wedge to do it with. Doubt the hammer will do much though. Dark Horse: Corrupted Politician 3 Another bot that I think Playzooki's finally got dialed in enough to do well. We'll see how it does against the 4WD flippers though... |
