But fair enough, I ballsed that one up, I'd be fine with a rewrite if Alex will allow it.

Heavyweight Posts: 558 Group: Global Moderator Member #186 Joined: November 2, 2015	Predictions time! Middleweight: STOP vs. Diablo Intercept: ordinarily this would be a close match, but zooki got himself DQed for the week, so DI wins by default. Frost Viper vs. Initial D: Initial D has good skids and its drum hits too hard, while FV can't do much damage in its anti-spinner config. Initial D definitely wins this. Mimete IV vs. Dead On Arrival: Hinged plow vs. 2WD forks = 3 corner damage for DOA. This combined with his shape making it nearly impossible for Mimete to use its weapon without getting hit and the massive damage he can do if he can chain hits on it at all means the drum spinner gets the win. Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker vs. 3 of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse: Lol, the poor writer! (inb4 I get assigned this). Anyway, the hammer portion of Pat's cluster can easily one-shot its opponent, but he has 1 speed, which leaves the clamp fighting THREE robots that have a drivetrain advantage over it. Go! Go! Zeppeli vs. Carcinogen: GGZ is, on one hand, horribly slow and unmaneuverable. On the other hand, Carcinogen doesn't have great frontal armor, and has to avoid letting GGZ make contact at all. Carcinogen might be OOTA-capable, but GGZ's awkward shape will make it very difficult to accurately flip. I think Carcinogen still has the better odds, but not by much. Black Dog vs. Spectral Pudding: If there's one thing Black Dog's good at, it's destroying fast bricks with hinged wedges. Guess what Spectral Pudding is? Oh, and it can't self-right with the rear wedge equipped. Spicy Mozarella vs. Wulven II: Wulven has a slight drivetrain advantage, but a worse wedge and no active weapon. This'll be close, but I think Spicy Moz can take this. Rooster Teeth vs. Necroblade: I made fun of Rooster Teeth in the rankings discussion, but actually I think Josh has this. Necroblade loses weapon-to-weapon 5-3 and he can't hit anything BUT weapon. His wedge will only last a couple of hits, and this arena has a lot of space for RT to pinball around in and no corners to get stuck in. Unless RT gets flipped by a house robot or the IED and Necroblade can hit his underside while he's coining around, I don't see how he can lose this. SeaDevil 2 vs. Sekhmet: Rofl. Chaotic Insurgency vs. Mega Frogbot: On one hand, Mega Frogbot is OOTA-capable. On the other hand, it can be out-wedged and will have a lot of trouble getting around CI's turret. This is about a 50/50. Thallium vs. Stabstract Jr: Simply put, Thallium doesn't have the power to get the KO here, although if driven well it could tear up Stabstract's wedges. Still picking Stabstract though. Crash Blossom vs. Suplex 2: Hmm... these bots are pretty similar stat-wise. CB has the better wedge I think, but Suplex can pick it up completely whereas CB can only lift or static clamp. However, CB's torque advantage means clamping without lifting could still be enough. I'm picking Crash Blossom. Heavyweight: Sawtooth vs. Night Jackal: Night Jackal has 16 weapon, Sawtooth's wheelguards have 11 armor. NJ can KO with repeated hits, and since this arena gives it lots of room to maneuver, hazards off in the center, and no corners, I think it can get the big hits it needs. Death Metal vs. Undertow IV: Basically, Death Metal doesn't have the power to damage Undertow's rear shield at all, and doesn't have the maneuverability to get around this. It's an easy win for Undertow unless Jack screws up. Compound Fracture vs. Flandre Scarlet: My bot lol. Flandre pretty much has to get to CF's sides to cause any real damage, and it's at a huge speed disadvantage. It also has no srimech, and it's in the arena where the hazards are two housebots with vertical spinners and a giant flipper. Starstruck vs. Gangrenous Leech: Oh boy. Welp, basically Starstruck's only means of doing damage is taking a wheel off, which will be pretty hard given the drivetrain disparity. Gangrenous Leech bricks its way to victory. Nemesis High Slinger 2 vs. Error 503: 7 armor flipper... 16 weapon undercutter... arena too big to box rush and oota... yeah, this is going to end in complete annhilation for NHS2. Pallas 2 vs. Warlock: Oh, boy. Fast wedge vs. slower clamp. Uhh... let's say Pallas, but who knows. Dreaming of Screaming vs. Barley Picker: Assuming Jamie RPs, this is a close match. Basically BP has a decent speed advantage, and can potentially get to Dreaming's wheels due to Screaming's limited reach. But if he gets hit by that undercutter, he's done. Golden Blaze vs. Super Smash Bros: SSB was able to pull off an awesome KO against Dreaming of Screaming... by flanking it. Now they're fighting a ring spinner with an obscene amount of reach. Golden Blaze kills itself in 4 hits, but I can't see SSB lasting that long. Hellhound V vs. Klarinette: Oh boy, the same fucking robot except one has tracks. Well, not really. Actually Hellhound probably dominates the match due to its drivetrain advantage unless Klarinette manages to ram his ass into a house robot in the final 30 seconds or something. Depression vs. Mr. Bight Sky: So basically Depression sits in one place and Pat inevitably repeatedly tries to ram him, but can't actually stop the shell so he can get in a flip, and he eventually gets torn apart. Izzy vs. Odin: Odin has a slight drivetrain advantage, so using his spinner could've been viable. He'd lose weapon-to-weapon 3-1, but he'd still have plenty of chances to angle in and seriously mess up Izzy's weak armor. Instead, he chose his plow. While it's utterly indestructible, the rest of him isn't, and Izzy outwedges him. I expect Izzy to eventually pop him in the air and tear his poorly-armored chassis to bits. Vomit Comet vs. Glacier: Well, Vomit Comet could've won this with a decent strategy, but Syl just gave up and decided to run away from 3 minutes. Great. Superheavyweight: Final Nail in the coffin vs. Triple 6: Oh boy. 11 power hammer vs. 10 armor flipper who can just barely OOTA it. And also Shaba's faster and appears to have a slightly better wedge. GG. Crush-a-mon vs. Parasoul: Jesus Christ... the funniest part about this matchup is that even if Pat miraculously gets his crusher into play, he still can't actually KO Parasoul. Yeah... I'm not sure if there's ANY bots Crush-a-mon can beat, but this sure ain't one of them. Lifter 2 Electric Boogaloo vs. Red Menace: 12armorboiz. Basically Red Menace is going to get pushed around all match while flailing ineffectively with its hammer, and probably take a couple housebot hits that prevent it from winning on cosmetic damage points. Fear Sphere vs. Fenrir: Hmm... these two are pretty close in drivetrain. Fenrir only wins weapon-to-weapon 3-2, and can get one-shotted by a chassis hit, but the major danger is it tossing Fear Sphere into the air and getting a followup hit. Fenrir probably wins, but it isn't a foregone conclusion. The Godfather III vs. Morality: Well... actually, Godfather's saws technically take ZERO seconds to penetrate White Devil's armor, so technically he could get 4 corner damage instantly even without pinning. Unfortunately, if he screws up at all he'll get decked by White Devil's drum, and Black Devil has equal maneuverability to Godfather and will be running interference. Lethal Injection 3 vs. Phantasmic Slammer: Clash of the titans here. Orgasmic Slammer MIGHT just barely be able to OOTA LI3, but I think mostly this will be a battle for control points. There, PS has the edge on drivetrain, but I'm not sure it can get under LI3. This one's 50-50. Leviathan vs. Chemical Explosion III Series: Leviathan can theoretically one-shot ChemEx, but what's most likely going to actually happen is his giant wheels are going to get torn off immediately because 5 corner damage. Scrapyard Miscreation vs. Rattletail: Oh, boy... what the fuck is this. Honestly I think this could come down to which bot the writer hates more :V Agent X vs. Ritual: Agent X really doesn't have much of a drivetrain advantage, and that saw is a serious threat to it. OTOH, the house robots or IED could do massive damage to Ritual. I'll tentatively pick Ritual. TWOSCOOPS vs. Live Wire: Playzooki got DQed for refusing to re-upload his bot images, but Live Wire would have probably kicked his ass anyway. Solaris Omega vs. Krieg: Krieg has a devastating drum, but actually loses weapon-to-weapon due to its terrible armor. Problem is, angling in only slightly will let it destroy Solaris's weapon supports, and it has a traction advantage, strafing, and less susceptibility to gyro forces. Krieg wins, probably by KO. Ceres vs. Jajanken: Uhh... rofl. Basically this comes down to whether the writer believes me or Kody about the effectiveness of Ceres's hammer blockers.
	"you can give a fuck, just don't give too much of a fuck. there's an optimal level of fuckiness, and if you exceed your fuck quota you'll burn out." - BEES Trihunter on V900's New Undercutter: Spoiler: click to toggle Number 15: Burger King Foot Princess. The last thing you want in your Burger King burger is a 15 weapon undercutter, but that might just be what you get. A 4channer uploaded a photo anonymously to the site showcasing his undercutter wedged in Hellhound�s plow. With the statement: "This is the spinners you get on ARC." Admittedly, he had wedgelets on. But that's even worse. The post went live at 6:24 AM on July 6, and a mere 3 minutes later, the tournament organiser in question was alerted to the rogue roboteer. At least, I hope he's rogue. How did it happen? Well, the ARC user hadn't removed the weird-ass wheels from the uploaded photo, which suggested the culprit ate plenty of dicks. This was at 6:27. Three hours later at 9:27, the TO posted with wishes for more writing staff. 5 minutes later, the news station was contacted by another 4channer. And three minutes later, at 9:30, a link was posted: ARC�s online forum. The undercutter photo, otherwise known as exhibit A, was attached. The police contacted the forum in question the next day. When questioned, the admin said "Oh, I know who that is. He's getting kicked out of the tournament." Mystery solved, by 4chan. Now we can all go back to making speed wedges in peace.
