Badnik said he's using the plow. Start vertical. Spin up, get away from the floor flipper and into the middle of the arena. Try to keep moving towards him to show aggression, but keep my weapon pointed at him and make wide turns to avoid gyro-ing. In particular a reversing turn to get my weapon lined up followed by darting forward may work if he's going for my side. If he's approaching with the jaws, he's either trying to angle in and grab my chassis or he's trying to bait me into going horizontal and then flip around to use his plow. Stay Vertical. If we hit straight on I can either get under his jaws and trash them, trash his upper jaw if it's raised, or slip off sideways and hit his chassis. If he's offset my weapon will miss his jaws entirely and hit his chassis. If he does a flip-around maneuver, well now he's leading with the plow. If he manages to grab me anyway, then transition to horizontal and try to wiggle to hit either his jaws or chassis; if that doesn't work I might be able to hit the floor and free myself, or just throw off his driving with the gyroscopic forces by continuously changing the disc's direction. If he's approaching with the plow, while I can't damage it I can get under it, and that will toss him high into the air. If this happens go hell for leather to try and get a followup hit as he lands or before he can get the plow pointed at me again. Even if I'm not at full speed, I can cause serious damage (tearing holes in his armor, removing wheels) at 80% speed, and lower speed hits will still launch him. If he lands inverted his wedge is useless. He may run to a floor flipper to right himself, but he could bounce on landing or just end up inverted again, so chase after him to try and hit him as he does this – this will also give me time to reach full speed. If I'm having trouble with gyro-ing, throttle down a little – I can still toss him. After a hit throttle back up to kill speed. Avoid hazards, be aggressive, mess him up as much as possible, don't do dumb stuff. Good Luck Etc. Etc. |

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

start with the plow facing forward. if hes horizontal, simply run into him with the plow and shove him around the floor. he can't really do anything. the vert is another story, but i have a strategy. with a 3-speed advantage, it'll be very easy to get to his front corners, between the weapon frame and the chassis. from here, i can push him wherever i want, and he can't do anything to fight back. all he can do is reverse away, and i have a speed advantage to keep that from happening. basically, keep my plow pressed into him while avoiding his wedgelets by specifically targeting his front corners. a big, slow vs like that should have some really nasty gyro (if you saw deep 6 last weekend you know what i mean) so just stick to him like glue and dont ever let him hit the underside of my plow. don't let him bait me into the hazards, im better than that good luck hfl and may the better bot win. |
