Our stats are IDENTICAL, and our designs are freakishly similar. Both 2WD, so no real maneuverability advantage for either of us.

The chief differences is that he's three-forked, whereas I'm two, and that I have fork extensions, and he doesn't. I'll be sporting by rad fork extensions for this fight.

So since there's really little either of us can do in the way of deceiving each other, I'll just right out at him, being careful of any deceptive move he may pull. If he comes at me backwards, it's a good bet he'll try to ram over my wedge body and get behind me that way. If he comes at me backwards, though, I'll know because I'll see him driving at me that way. In which case, slow down and take him when he comes, hoist him up as soon as he's on the forks, and carry him around the arena. Mainly to the Pulverizer. Just let him get good and hammered. Keep slamming him in that way.

However, that's not a good bet. Dylan enjoys the fight as much as I do, and I suspect he'll be looking to go toe-to-toe with me. This is where the fork extensions come in handy. I can reach under his body before he can reach under mine. Assuming, of course, that I can sidestep his forks. I'm hoping that mine will either be on either side of his middle one, or they'll both fit between two of his forks. Whichever way, get under, lift, and push. Get to pushing right away because he'll probably try to hit reverse and get away. Once I'm under him that way, slam him to the walls, and the Drum. This is when I'll try to flip him. He can self-right, and drive away when necessary, but if he's flipped, it's points for me. Besides which, he'll need time to self-right. And it'll take even longer with that big bump on his backside. While he's self-righting, I'll get him and slam him over and over and over.

If he lifts me, J-hook reverse to get away. If he flips, get away and self-right. It'll take me less time because my back is rounded. I'll get back over quicker. But hopefully I'll get under him first with my forks longer due to the extensions.

Good luck Dylan.
There are few crimes in our modern society that merit public beating. Interrupting someone's enjoyment of Messiah to request "Jingle Bells" by the Singing Dogs is irrefutably one such offense.

I feel like a fucking celebrity around here.
This isn't a reference to his rp, I just saw that he's using the extensions. His extensions may actually make the match more difficult for him. A longer flipping arm means 2 things. The first is that because the fulcrum is in a different place now, he won't be able to lift as much weight unless he's pretty far under the other bot. The other is that his lifters aren't angled on the sides, so he'll have to come at someone straight on to get under them, and having a long arm, it's tougher to get under someone straight on. If I can get in close to him, he'll actually have to back up to try and get under me.

Something important that I have but he doesn't is a small knob on my back that prevents me from having my front lift off the ground when I accelerate too fast. He doesn't have this and, from the side profile picture, he has just enough ground clearance to lift off when he accelerates.

When he meet, at the last minute I need to aim for one of his corners or even just play matador and let him come at me but pull back at the last second. This will both lift his front off the ground enough for me to charge and get under as well as have him miss me. His lifter will be too long for him to turn on a dime and get under me. After this I'll either be under his front from it lifting off the ground, or I'll get under his side or front corners. As long as I stay close to his frame and not back off, he won't be able to get his lifters under me.

I'll only use my lifters to get under him and maybe lift him off the ground a little bit. Flipping him would allow him to escape my constant staying right on him. I just want to get the leverage I need to control him and take him to the hazards.
