ever feel like you're talking to yourself :v:

Lightweights:
Tortoise vs. Veto

Rosebud vs. Venice Queen
hmmmm, speed advantage, or wedging advantage? take your pick I guess

EVEN ODDS

Frequency vs. Rainbow Crash
doesnt matter how many robots you have if they have 7 armor against a 360 spinner

Frequency - 85%

Cheatbot vs. Tormentor
equal speed, but a deadly hammer over in the blue square, compared to a meh drum

Tormentor - 80%

Blackrose vs. Icepick Lobotomy
if Venice queen can't dodge a hammer for 3 minutes, I don't think BlackRose can either

Icepick Lobotomy - 70%

Pyrite vs. Game Over
they're more or less even drivetrain-wise, but Game over has an active weapon

Game over - 60%

Powerdrive Jr. vs. Promethean Fire
only one of these roboteers will RP, even though he who won't could win this if he did

Powerdrive Jr. - 55%

Skate vs. The Smiler
Skate's been struggling against spinners, but the smiler does have sub-par drive for its weapon power

The Smiler - 60%

Pelican vs. Mineswept Away
something something long wedge won't RP

Mineswept away - 80%

Public Enemies vs. O'Malley
not quite enough armor

O'Malley - 75%

Tidal Wave vs. Zadkiel
Tidal wave is not optimized for fighting horizontal spinners

Zadkiel - 70%

Middleweights:
Lyra vs. March or Die
speed and wedging advantage

March or die - 65%

T and T vs. Om Nom Nomster

Depth Charge II vs. Whipcoil
Depth charge is a better faster and wedge-ier Lyra, and since Lyra won last week...

Depth Charge II - 65%

D.U.D.E. vs. Remi
Liking the weapon-to-armor advantage for Remi here

Remi - 65%

Metal 2 vs. Clown Breath
:dirk:

Clown Breath - LOCK

Pterodactyl vs. Caesium
Treaded flipper face-off! PT has a serious control disadvantage, but can press thanks to the ABR forks by the flipper. more options too with the backup wedge

Pterodactyl - 51%

Royale vs. Furious Redemption
Royale by coin flip

Defiance vs. Charybdis
Defiance out-speeds and weapons Charybdis, and can tank hits well. Sparks will fly.

Defiance - 65%

Lethal Carriageway vs. Juno
expect a near-repeat of the Crusader match, though Juno can probably put up a bit better of a fight

Lethal Carriageway - 70%

Crusader vs. Y-Combat
similar maneuverability but better weapon power has me favoring Y-combat, but I could see this swinging the other way with a good strategy

Y-combat - 55%

Thunder vs. Buzz Cut
thunder's stats are just a tragedy

Buzz cut - 85%

Heavyweights:
Rainbow Dasher vs. The Arbiter
I mean, RD had a decent chance, but just looking at his strategy makes me think less of them

The arbiter - 85%

Infrared vs. Annihilation
between the drum and wedge, Infrared can tank 3 hits

Infrared - 70%

Morbid vs. Compound Fracture
morbid has better control, a wider drivetrain, and a good flipper. but of course, Compound fracture has a lifter, and equal speed to Morbid, so it's still an uphill battle

Compound Fracture - 55%

Pursuit vs. Golden Blaze
yeah, spinner vs brick, but also 14 weapon to 9 armor

Golden Blaze - 55%

Smilodon vs. Bass Drop
oh if only brian would RP

Bass Drop - 65%

Sparkster vs. Halberd
oh if only brian would RP

Sparkster - 60%

Tellu vs. Undertow
oh if only attackfrog would RP

Tellu - LOCK

Hypothermia vs. Chimera
nyheheh he can't damage my top and has static 4WD wedges

Chimera - 80%

Dr. Feelgood vs. Landkreuzer P1000
ok this is certainly one feelgood could've won

Landkreuzer P1000 - 65%

Escape Plan vs. Klarinette
even if EP's wedge hadn't been rendered useless by the evil Kody ( :v: ), Klarinette has the speed advantage, and has been able to easily dispatch the rear-hinged flippers she's already faced

Klarinette - 80%

Loadout vs. Cloak & Dagger

Super-Heavyweights:
Allahu Akbar vs. Captain N.R.K.
Captain NRK - 95%

Driger Slash vs. Chemical Explosion
12 weaponed counter-rotating spinner or a mid-cutter that murders itself in 5 hits? well, CE has a wedge, sooo

Chemical Explosion - 60%

Montgomery Yellow Jesus vs. Airtime Extreme
airtime's control is only slightly better than Uppercut's, and his flipper is much easier to avoid

MYJ - 65%

Midnight Pathos vs. Uppercut V2
Speed and control advantage, with invertability and decent armor to boot!

Midnight Pathos - 80%

Danger Noodle vs. Hysteria
oof
Danger Noodle - LOCK

Mega Plowdozer vs. Khnum
this one should be interesting. speed advantage means I get the early advantage, but I could see him finding a way to pull off a win

Khnum - 65%

Terminal Velocity vs. Final Boss

Bloodlust vs. In the Red Square Minion
neither robot has good control, but ITRS...M does have a back-up wedge for when they inevitably anihilate each other's weapons

Minion - 55%

D'Artagnan vs. Fourth Horseman
D'art wins the coin flip

RP. Please.

Archetype vs. Sundown Ranger
ok this is just getting mean.

Archetype - 70%

The Pegasus Device vs. Dat Dog 2

if PD could turn...

Dat dog - 60%

I RETURN FOR THE FINAL WEEK

LW:
Tidal Wave vs. Cheatbot

TW is like, a better version of cheatbot. and TW isn't even doing that well :v:

Tidal Wave - 70%

BlackRose vs. Frequency

That scoop has sharp corners, but Blackrose also has 8 speed and ludicrous armor. what annoys me is that no matter what one of these goons is gonna win and finish with a better record than me thanks to tiebreakers with Frequency :v:

Blackrose - 60%

Icepick Lobotomy vs. Rosebud

ehhh the shield shooould do enough

Rosebud - 65%

Tormentor vs. Tortoise

Venice Queen vs. Veto

will he RP? Who knows!

Venice Queen - 75%

Zadkiel vs. Pelican

Public Enemies vs. Skate

O'Malley vs. Powerdrive Jr.

O'malley's probably got this in the bag even if he does decide to show up for this one

O'malley - 80%

Mineswept Away vs. Pyrite

I could see mark trying something like he did with Game over Last week, but Pyrite's wedge shape will just deflect the wedglets upwards... probably...

Pyrite - 60%

Promethean Fire vs. Game Over

Rainbow Crash vs. The Smiler

lol RIP

The Smiler - 85%


MW:

Thunder vs. D.U.D.E.

Metal 2 vs. Depth Charge II

eventually he'll drive over the flipper

Depth Charge - 85%

Clown Breath vs. Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr

Time to see if I can stand up to spinners in the way I intended!

Clown Breath - 70%

Remi vs. Lyra

Remi's design really makes it struggle to get a good grip on anything, though admittedly Lyra does have some yummy corners up front. he should totally lose and clown breath should definitely let me win :v:

Lyra - 65%

Om Nom Nomster vs. March or Die

Buzz Cut vs. Crusader

Lethal Carriageway vs. Defiance

Why do I keep thinking LC's a hw? at any rate, if anyone can kill the defiant beast, it would be him

Defiance - 60%

Juno vs. Royale

Y-Combat vs. Pterodactyl

PT's a bit hard to control, but he can still take this with good driving

Pterodactyl - 65%

Furious Redemption vs. Caesium
WhipCoil vs. Charybdis

now the rules say directly on rotational acceleration frustratingly little: "Rotational Acceleration will be determined by a combination of speed and traction." if you interpret that to mean that it is calculated the same way as linear acceleration (speed/(2xtorque)), then charybdis takes 6 seconds to get up to speed - and that's the most generous way to calculate this I could find. Whipcoil should easily be able to catch up to him in time

Whipcoil - 75%

HW:

Loadout vs. Pursuit
Smilodon vs. Morbid
Bass Drop vs. Infrared

drum hammer vs actual drum? RIP hammer

Infrared - 70%

Golden Blaze vs. Rainbow Dasher

RD has what, 4 body armor?

Golden Blaze - 70%

Annihilation vs. The Arbiter

arby can take 3 hits

The Arbiter - 70%

Cloak & Dagger vs. Dr. Feelgood

Escape Plan vs. Hypothermia

the real question is who has the better wedge here. it's probably Escape Plan, now that Hypothermia is done with magically having hinged skirts for a week :P . otherwise, I think EP has 10 armor to Hypo's 10 weapon

Escape Plan - 85%

Klarinette vs. Tellu

Landkreuzer P1000 vs. Sparkster

you'll win this if you RP TBR

Sparkster - 55% (95% if he actually RPs)

Undertow vs. Halberd

Compound Fracture vs. Chimera

expect this to be a close one. he can't utilize driving his wedge into the ground as well as he'd like, especially with his already low traction. but then, my wedges have to be definitely better otherwise we might end up locking up wedges, in which case he slowly wins the pushing match. since that's unclear (well, I feel like it might be to others, obviously I'm fully convinced that my wedges aren't trash :v: ), slight advantage goes to CF

Compound Fracture - 51%

SHW:

The Pegasus Device vs. Midnight Pathos

Pathos can and should avoid PD's front for the whole match

Midnight Pathos - 80%

Danger Noodle vs. Driger Slash

Uppercut V2 vs. Allahu Akbar

*kaboom*

Uppercut V2 - 95%

Hysteria vs. Montgomery Yellow Jesus

Airtime Extreme vs. Captain N.R.K.

Dat Dog 2 vs. D'Artagnan

Archetype vs. Bloodlust

I feel like Bloodlust's gonna be able to hit Archetype's weapon support. it's just so... out there...

Bloodlust - 55%

Sundown Ranger vs. Terminal Velocity

Fourth Horseman vs. Mega Plowdozer

Final Boss vs. Khnum

fuck :v:

Final boss - 70%

Chemical Explosion vs. In the Red Square... MINION!

man this is kinda depressingly quick now with all the FF matches ignored...

LIGHTWEIGHTS:

#2: Venice Queen vs #5: Tormentor
You could see this as a re-hash of last time, or you could be convinced that my RP is better than the last one. either way, early advantage definitely favors the guy that beat me last time :P

Tormentor - 60%

#3: Rosebud vs #4: Frequency
Didn't Frequency win the last one of these? at any rate, 5 wep-to-arm opens up gashes immediately, so that's not good for Rosebud

Frequency - 65%

#2: O'Malley vs #5: Game Over
Something Something corners

O'malley - 75%

#3: The Smiler vs #4: Mineswept Away
very similar to the other 3v4 match, really. I could see meganew getting clever with the front set-ups, but I think he'll end up mashed anyway

The Smiler - 60%

MIDDLEWEIGHTS:

#2: Whipcoil vs #5: Clown Breath
GIANT PLOW OF SADNESS. BUT ALSO CORNERS AND EXPOSED WHEELS. I DON'T FUCKING KNOW

Whipcoil - 55%

#3: March or Die vs #4: Depth Charge II
Clamshell flippers tend to have weaker wedges than other 2WD designs, and MOD's got a slight drivetrain advanage IIRC. it could be swung with a good RP, but early advantage definitely goes MoD's way

March or die - 60%

#2: Juno vs #5: Crusader
two weak-armored robots with short range weapons. IIRC Juno won last time, and I do feel as if her secondary option is better, and her drivetrain better set-up.

Juno - 55%

#3: Pterodactyl vs #4: Lethal Carriageway
both of 'em can press but PT also has a flipper... even with the drivetrain disadvantages I imagine that'll be enough

Pterodactyl - 60%

HEAVYWEIGHTS:

#2: Pursuit vs #5: Golden Blaze
with an abundance of corners and 9 armor, I could see an upset in the works here. I think GB won last time too

Golden Blaze - 65%

#3: The Arbiter vs #4: Infrared
Infrared won last time but it was close, and Arby won't make the same mistake with the wedge that he did last time. still, I think Infrared's got more advantages here

Infrared - 65%

#2: Cloak & Dagger vs #5: Escape Plan
better wedges, more speed, properly invertable. RIP

Cloak and Dagger - 85%

#3: Sparkster vs #4: Chimera
well, my wedge is better than his, and I have a more balanced drivetrain. so uh, yeah.

Chimera - 70%

SUPER-HEAVYWEIGHTS


#2: Captain N.R.K. vs #5: The Pegasus Device
I see this going the same as last fight unless Patrick really pulls something out of his ass here

Captain NRK - 80%

#3: Midnight Pathos vs #4: Danger Noodle
I see a few ways DN could pull this off, but it does require some clever strategy and a bit of luck

Midnight Pathos - 55%

#2: Final Boss vs #5: Sundown Ranger
that axe could really fuck things up, but then, final boss has a few advantages of its own. still, I'm actually inclinde to go for SR, especially since his wedge might be better

Sundown Ranger - 60%

#3: Archetype vs #4: Mega Plowdozer
toooo many corners on MP

Archetype - 75%

Frequency - 65%
Nope. I managed to tip him over before he did anything particularly bad to my drivetrain.
