ever feel like you're talking to yourself ![]() Lightweights: 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% Depth Charge II vs. Whipcoil Depth charge is a 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 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 ( ), Klarinette has the speed advantage, and has been able to easily dispatch the rear-hinged flippers she's already facedKlarinette - 80% 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% 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% Edited by The_Angry_Goat, Jul 19 2016, 11:53 PM.

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 ![]() 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 ![]() Blackrose - 60% Icepick Lobotomy vs. Rosebud ehhh the shield shooould do enough Rosebud - 65% Venice Queen vs. Veto will he RP? Who knows! Venice Queen - 75% 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% Rainbow Crash vs. The Smiler lol RIP The Smiler - 85% MW: 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 ![]() Lyra - 65% 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% Y-Combat vs. Pterodactyl PT's a bit hard to control, but he can still take this with good driving Pterodactyl - 65% 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: 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% 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 . otherwise, I think EP has 10 armor to Hypo's 10 weaponEscape Plan - 85% Landkreuzer P1000 vs. Sparkster you'll win this if you RP TBR Sparkster - 55% (95% if he actually RPs) 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 ), slight advantage goes to CFCompound Fracture - 51% SHW: The Pegasus Device vs. Midnight Pathos Pathos can and should avoid PD's front for the whole match Midnight Pathos - 80% Uppercut V2 vs. Allahu Akbar *kaboom* Uppercut V2 - 95% 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% Final Boss vs. Khnum fuck ![]() Final boss - 70% 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 ![]() 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% |

What just appeared in my hands?

Nope. I managed to tip him over before he did anything particularly bad to my drivetrain. |
