I'm facing Chimera again and I'm at the short wall. Yay? Let's try something different. I should be able to make it a ways before he can reach me, so let's drive parallel to the tall wall for as long as I can. Give myself some room to turn of course. He'll probably go for my side Turn with the back to the wall the moment he notices what I'm doing, and have the hammer face him, and turn back the other way hammer facing if he goes for my side. I should be able to do that before he reaches me. Don't fire it yet unless he's really coming in hot, trying to get under. Just before he's under me and I've got a lock on him, swing away and hit the top of the body or flipper. This should damage his 4 bar mechanism for sure. Once I have some distance from the short wall, be an aggressive bastard If I miss and he still goes for my sides, turn with him. Even if he gets under by trying to angle in, his body is hella long and I still have a good chance of hitting him. Also, even if he does gets under my side (it's not a given because we're both short, steep hinged wedges. His fork setup leave his top open for hitting, and are actually quite stubby), he'll only be getting under my hinged skirt. In other words, my walker pods will still be on the ground. This has happened before in other matches. After he gets under my side(and that's if he does), walk away before he flips. Walk away from the short wall if I'm a bit too close. And if Chimera tries to stop me, so be it. It's his funeral, turn and fire at the right time. J-hook and use the hammer to shake free if I'm really stuck. Avoid the fucking short wall until I disable his flipper. His flipper will have trouble lifting a walker anyways, so sure, he can still throw me out via the short wall, but it's not going to be easy. Coup's length and width is quite large, and he has to fit a good amount of that on the wedge for him to Outa me. Also, if there's a 2 foot gap between walls, and CdG is a walker that's about 3ft x 3ft or more, wouldn't it just get stuck between the two walls? If so, use the hammer to try and wiggle free and back in the arena. Self right if flipped. If he's flipping me to all fuck, just keep going until I get a hit, and keep a distance from the short wall as always. I know people say 8WD turning sucks and that's not always true, but being 8WD has to do *something* to a bot's turning. Also, just so this doesn't become a repeat of last time, if I can hit Redemption Denied when he's under me, I sure as hell should be able to hit Chimera as well, unless Chimera is in fact 3in tall :V Sorry that this is a bit long. It's the semis and I'm against the second toughest bot in the weight class :V. But of course: HAMMER! Good luck! |

Coup de Grace: Speed: 5 / Traction: 5 / Torque: 1 / Armor: 10 / Weapon: 13 Chimera V: Speed: 7 / Traction: 7 / Torque: 3 / Weapon: 5 / Armor: 8 (+1 front) Drew has a tendency to attempt really unnecessarily complex movements to do what amounts to turtling. If he does this against me, he faces two problems: 1, he’s by the short wall so OOTAs are a thing, 2, he has to think about all the shit he wants to do and then DO it, all while in pitched “battle”. I also expect him to take a hilariously large amount of space in his RP arguing that he should be able to hit me with his hammer while I am flipping him. He can believe that if he wants to, I guess ![]() My last RP should cover most of what I want to do.
GL EDIT: forgot to say that I'm using the forks and wedgelets Edited by The_Angry_Goat, Aug 5 2017, 09:16 PM.
