Plata O Plomo Speed: 5 | Traction: 5 | Torque: 2 | Armour: 9 | Weapon: 9 WhipCoil Speed: 7 | Traction: 7 | Torque: 3 | Armour: 10 (+2 to the plow or tongue, depending on the setup. The tongue bonus covers the entire top jaw.) ??? | Weapon: 3 (2/2 split) ---- Okay I don't know what's going on with WhipCoil's armour bonuses. I mean, he's not using it this match, but if the tongue bonus covers the entire top jaw, then it should split even more from his armour since he still has the top jaw in the plow set-up. You can't just take an armour bonus off one thing and put it on another if you leave the damn thing on. Now, Dylan can bitch at me about it all he wants, but it seems pretty cut and dry to me.However, I'm going to assume that it is not the case here and that he does have 7 instead of 4 armour, so that is what I shall RP against. WhipCoil's dimensions are similar to Mimete's. He's a wide bot with thin jaws at the front that can be avoided entirely with some careful planning. Unfortunately WhipCoil's got perfect control so I'll have to be sneaky here. Start by going out at an angle and see if he's having control problems. If he is, that means he's pushing the lower jaws into the ground. Angle in and flip. If he's not, keep angling in until the last moment and then go head-on before he can press. Get under and flip. When I've flipped him, he'll only have the previously-top-but-now-bottom jaw to work with, so keep angling in, get him over to a corner spike and flip him into it. It should pop him over again before he can enjoy being right-side-up again. If he gets under me... well. If the jaws are closed, try and angle away. If they're open, fire the flipper. 9 weapon power should do something against 2 weapon jaws, and maybe 7 armour. :V It'll jolt him anyway and make him release me. Don't let him get to my sides. Yeah he's faster, but not by a lot, and I also have perfect control. Avoid conveyors and floor flippers. If flipped, self-right. Yada yada yada. GL |

You're just a voice pal, you don't know a damn thing about racing!

right. kinda doubt he'll be able to beat my wedge by angling in, so i'm going to just go straight at him and press the jaws at the last second. scoop him up with the jaws open, then lift the bottom jaw and bring him over to one of the arena spikes or something. if he gets under me just back off before he can flip, and if he does flip just re-set the jaws and keep coming at him. always press at the last second. good luck kody and may the better bot win. |
