The Crash & Burn Tournament 4

Four heats to go!

Heat M
Fight 1
Gehenna (8) vs. Lime-y

From Shrewsbury in Shropshire, seeded number 8, Gehenna!
Plight of the wicked indeed! Front-hinged flipper coupled with a 10kg spinning blade in the rear means trouble for the opponents! Pretty much impervious to everything and has decent 2 wheel drivetrain, but may run out of flipping power. Previously called Son of Ripper, Andrew Jackson's veteran is back for a fourth shot!

C&B1: (as Son of Ripper 5.0) Flipped OOTA by Enter the May Tracks in Round 1.
C&B2: (as Son of Ripper 5.0) Did much better this time around, but met a gruesome end in Round 5 as eventual runner-up Tempest Evil-er-oution tore it to shreds.
C&B3: (as Son of Ripper X) [seeded 4th] Fell in Round 4 when Nitro-Gene 5.0 got him inverted, and later on got under the wedge part to catapult him from the arena.

From Patricia, Canada...Lime-y!
B damnit! Wait...err, never mind. The jolly green flipper can toss you about for an entire bout. 4WD, Hardox armour, and a pair of side skirts help accordingly, and 15mph top speed keeps it under control, but the length of weaponry looks a bit much coupled with a narrow attack area. Will it be juiced lime for Tracy Farber?

C&B1: Didn't compete.
C&B2: Didn't compete.
C&B3: Didn't compete.

Roboteers, stand by...

Count Bleck returns from his disappointing run in ARC...to resume his role as house robot! Get that flamethrower back in there...ah! Joining him is his fire-breathing partner Sgt. Bash!

So we have two robots trying immediately to get to the other's sides...and in this Gehenna is more successful! Under the skirts it goes (naughty boy! =O) and under the main body! Everybody is waiting for the flip, but Andy denies the audience by merely shoving Lime-y into Sgt. Bash's CPZ! The drill sergeant, or rather, flame sergeant, torches the lime green paintwork of the long flipper as its claw digs in, but not getting that great of a grip on Lime-y. Andy tries to hurriedly turn and whack Lime-y with the spinner before Lime-y can get away, but Lime-y escapes both of them and what ends up happening is Gehenna smacking Sgt. Bash with the rear! Hardly CRASH worthy, but it's sent Bash aside a bit. The sergeant chases Gehenna away with a howl of flame, then returns to his CPZ with a snort. Lime-y again tries to get to Gehenna's sides but the 2 wheel drive of Gehenna deftly evades that and sets Gehenna up itself! This time, however, the side skirt does foil Gehenna's attempts, and in doing so Lime-y spins around and gets under Gehenna's side! Tracy activates the flipper immediately, and the 8th seed is launched across the arena in a great gust of smoke from Lime-y! Gehenna bounces off its side and lands on its back, and as it self-rights, Lime-y gets back under and promptly launches it again! This toss however is terminal, and Gehenna crashes directly down onto its rear, again tipping over, inverted! It self-rights and gets away before Lime-y can take further advantage, and guns for the sides again. We're back to square one, it seems! Faking a sudden turn, Gehenna slides directly through the side skirt and up under Lime-y's side again, and this time it's to Count Bleck's CPZ that they go!

CRASH!!!

And the hit is massive! Lime-y is bashed away, losing its right side skirt entirely and sporting a small dent in that same side! The playing field tipped in Gehenna's favour now, it chases Lime-y down. It now easily outmanoeuvres the green launchbot and sends it into Sgt. Bash's CPZ, but its spinner seems to not be working. Sgt. Bash tries clamping onto Lime-y again while torching it, and is marginally more successful this time. It has a better grip, but cannot penetrate the armour. Gehenna moves off to open the pit while Lime-y seems rather helpess in the grasp of Sgt. Bash, and things look worse because Bash is headed for the arena spike! Pop, pop, pop...there goes the small grip Bash had, but Lime-y can't be feeling good after those spears to the belly! Even worse, Gehenna is back in the game! However, Tracy is determined not to let Gehenna get at Lime-y side, and so carefully moves Lime-y backward. Gehenna tries to swing around and then fake a turn, but then Lime-y moves forward completely. Andy, expecting nothing of the sort, tries driving off in a panic but the flipper of Lime-y is already activated...uh...FA-LIP!!! Gehenna is launched across the arena again, and lands hard on its side, and tips onto its back. Lime-y's there under it again and tosses it before it can self-right, and Gehenna nearly jumps the fence from the middle of the arena! Thankfully, however, he doesn't pull an Axe Awe and bounces off the edge and back in, on its wheels! Did all that buffeting and those impacts damage the internals, though? We'll have to wait and see! Gehenna moves...yes, a bit sluggishly now! Lime-y however can't get to its sides by itself, though, having had to rely on Gehenna's daring! This opens up an opportunity for the British veteran, and it hits the side of Lime-y, the side that still has a skirt, and tries to dig its way fully under! Lime-y simply backs up and in its haste Gehenna drives forwards past, exposing its side again! Lime-y is under immediately and just as immediately, it flips! Gehenna is airborne and again nearly is OOTAed, but crashes back off the railing and...onto its back! It self-rights, but Lime-y's there! There's another flip...and a third dream is shot to hell for Team ???, as Gehenna crashes disappointingly on the other side of the fence after a well-fought fight!

CEASE!

A touch of the wicked, perhaps? Gehenna undergoes eternal damnation for that performance! :proud:
Lime-y advances to Round 2!

Next battle: The Crashing Bore 2 vs. M.O.R.D. 2

Hey, why stop now? :P

(also, Richard, your site is down, so I took MORD's stats from PTT5, I hope that's okay. Also, since Ringwraith is in the semi-finals but I can't find the stats, could someone point me out to them? Thanks!)

Fight 2
The Crashing Bore 2 vs. M.O.R.D. 2

From Gainsborough...The Crashing Bore 2!
Remake of THE oldest vapourbot on the circuit! This box-wedge is compact in dimensions, and slightly similar to Mousetrap with a spiked trap powered by two LEM130s, and a lifting wedge. The drill also returns, with 50kgs of downforce to run you through...powerful, tough, very lively after all these years. :proud: It has high ground clearance under the skirts, however.

C&B1: Absolutely destroyed by Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1 in Round 1.
C&B2: Again got beaten by one of Aaron Knight's bots, this time by eventual grand finalist Infusion, in Round 2.
C&B3: Didn't compete.

From England...M.O.R.D. 2!
Otherwise known as Master of Robot Destruction 2, or the winner of NSBFL 7! :proud: Whatever the case, it's basically Tornado with a much wider drum and a lifting scoop in front of it that works either way up! Made out of titanium and PERM motor driven, it's another one of the golden oldies, yet not as old its opponent. Its camshaft movement, however, may hinder its manoeuvrability.

C&B1: Didn't compete.
C&B2: Didn't compete.
C&B3: Didn't compete.

Roboteers, stand by...

House robots again? Shunt again? Matilda again? ...Spawn Again, get out!!! *sends Count Bleck after him*

Everybody cheers the oldest vapourbot going, and why not? It's off to a great start, slipping off to the side of MORD2 instantly before Richard can even try to defend himself, and getting under slams the trap down on the titanium armour! The grip isn't that great at first, but Crashing Bore lifts the wedge up too, and MORD2 is in its clutches! It wants to end this battle now, so off to the pit release they go...and Crashing Bore actually reverses into it! The impact doesn't release Crashing Bore's grip on MORD so good thinking there, and Richard tries moving the scoop, but that doesn't break the grip either! And...I think this match was over before it started! The Crashing Bore 2 is back as it easily zooms towards the looming pit and deposits MORD2 into it, in what is surely the quickest fight of the entire championship! Great start, my foot! Great follow-through, and great finish! ...but what's this? ...dear me, you aren't trying to attack our house robots again, are you?! :angry: Blasting towards one of the occupied CPZs, The Crashing Bore is underneath Shunt already, and lifts him over! Matilda is already halfway across the arena with the flywheel, but The Crashing Bore moves awa - AAAAAGH!

CRASH!

Matilda nailed Shunt! What's gotten into you?! Poor Shunt has a massive carve in the...rear shovel wedge, but Matilda can't be horrified enough because The Crashing Bore lifts her over next! And it wants more! It's after The Watcher! But ha! The referee is under The Crashing Bore with its lifting arm and tips it onto its back, and with a push across the arena pits The Crashing Bore 2 on top of MORD2! Score one for the referee, and deservedly so! :angry:

CEASE!

MORD turns into VORD, the Victim of Robot Destruction! :proud:
The Crashing Bore 2 advances to Round 2!

And so the two massive, but not TOO massive lightweight spinners spin up...their outer shells gradually gaining hundreds of revolutions per minute...per second! And before we know it, they have reached catastrophic speeds! And all that's needed...is a big bang! Will we get one? Ziggo and Ground Zero move towards each other...very slowly...well, Ziggo zooming off-course and having to re-orient its path. Ground Zero is on it...but Ziggo isn't backing down...and eventually...

CRRRRAAAAAAASSH!!!

The impact nearly breaks the sound barrier!!! ...what in the flipping eff?!? The...they've flipped each other! And there are massive, MASSIVE scars on their shells...not to mention the fact that they are now at opposite ends of the arena!!! Neither are spinning, and...neither of them have their wheels spinning from what I can see up in the commentary booth, so neither are getting up from that one!!! So...unfortunately, the only thing we can do is send this one to the judges!!! Blimey, I'm shaking!

CEASE!

Ziggo - Ground Zero

Strategy = 2.5/5 - 2.5/5
Style = 6/10 - 4/10
Control = 7/15 - 8/15
Aggression = 10/20 - 10/20
Damage = 12/25 - 13/25

TOTAL = 37.5/75 - 37.5/75!

They're tied...but since Ground Zero won more categories...

Ziggo's gamble is little more than a feeble meow! The cat zig-zags out of competition!
Ground Zero advances to the Lightweight Final!

And we start off with a very tactical display here as The Crashing Bore heads...for the pit release button. Rather early for that, Mr. Goacher, wouldn't you say? Lime-y's after it though, and crashes into TCB before it gets to the button, and there's a flip! No skirt will prevent that penetration, as TCB's rear one finds out, and Frank finds his machine overturned...and on top of the pit release button itself!! Will it self-right? I don't think that it can...not from that angle! But Tracy goes for the OOTA! And...it's a flop. What's more, TCB lands sideways and underneath the lifter! Lime-y clamps down on it (rather weakly) and tries to drag TCB over to the pit of oblivion...but with a little firing and lifting of its weapons, TCB jarrs itself free and gets away...only to find Lime-y pursuing it!! A quick spin around finds Lime-y with its flipper blade underneath the lifter of TCB, and with a flip...only jolts TCB up slightly, allowing Frank to fully take advantage! Or does he? Lime-y backs off as TCB moves in, and the flipper is lowered safely! Obviously Team Bored are not very happy about this, but less happy when Lime-y tries a different tactic and spins about, knocking the side of the flipper blade into TCB's front edge and spinning it aside like a thwack! And Lime-y gets at the sides again...ah. That's where the skirts defeat the flipper...but can TCB get by Lime-y's, as it's gotten to her sides now?! Oh yes! Lime-y pulls back, trying to drag TCB away from the main body, but no dice! Under goes the wedge! And down comes the trap - OUCH! Now that is a good hold, look at the dents! And up goes the lifter...meaning, this fight has entirely spun on its head! What does Frank want to do - oh yes, he wants to win! He wants to drag his prey to the pit for the easy victory, and there it is! Lime-y is deposited in the pit...The Crashing Bore 2 moves on to the Series Semi-Finals, and its comeback in the robot world is imminent! ...but not this night! Dead Metal has gripped the Bore machine from behind, and shunted it down too! House robot revenge for sure, we have long memories, yes! We remember our previous encounters! Mark our words, there will be more in store...

CEASE!

B-lime-y! A sour performance for sure, as Tracy's face goes from red to green faster than a set of traffic lights! :proud:
The Crashing Bore 2 advances to the Series Semi-Finals!!

Next time on Crash & Burn 4
Orka RV's 6th seeding is on the line, having to defend it against newcomer spinner Maximum Genocide!
Dantu intends to make Liar 2's chassis el dente by the end of their bout!
And the middleweights come alive, as Blizzard MW and T-Minus take to the arena for their semi-final clash!

Nice one :)

I'll go for Maximum Genocide and Dantu to win here.

Incidentally I am finally getting around to updating my forum with fights and stats from this tourney. The only set of storage stats I am missing are Dendroaspis' (Richard's site closed down :( ), which happily I already wrote the fights for. It would be nice to have them, though, so if anybody can get a hold of Richard that would be nice. :)

Oh my! We're so close to the end! Let's not lose sight of that now! :D

Heat N
Fight 1
Orka RV (6) vs. Maximum Genocide

From Onehouse in Suffolk, seeded number 6...Orka RV!
Has competed in every war thus far. Now resembles a box-wedge shape like Comengetorix, with a narrow flipper that can right it. Runs invertible, has titanium armour and decent driving ability, but with 6 wheels it could be hard to turn. Much different than MK4 in previous wars.

C&B1: (as Orka MK4) Went to the final four, but was ousted at the last by a pitting from eventual silver medalist Clawdius Decimus Murderous. Beat Aneruysm in the play-off to get the bronze.
C&B2: (as Orka MK4) [seeded 3rd] Shock Round 1 exit when Voltronic and Liar ganged up on it and eventually Liar sent it over the fence!
C&B3: (as Orka MK4) Met more success than last time, but was taken out by Shane Swan's Envy in a close JD.

From Cardiff, Wales...Maximum Genocide!
A newcomer with a amazing get-up of spinning weaponry. It's a 3WD translational spinner with a spinning blade on top! Both the claws on the ends of the robot and the tips of the blade reach out the same to inflict major damage. Both the weapon and drivetrain have 3 MagMotors powering them, so while the blade may spin up quickly, the actual robot spinning speed may be fairly slow. It may be tough to KO though with 4mm Hardox armour, but its self-righting properties look questionable.

C&B1: Didn't compete.
C&B2: Didn't compete.
C&B3: Didn't compete.

Roboteers, stand by...

Prepare to be Hexed by our unlovely Hexadecimal, with the 360-degree lifting arms and spinning blades underneath, and Asterix Anarchius, with simply pure ramming capabilities to boast about. :proud:

The blade of Maximum Genocide spins up quickly, but as the main translational body of Genocide itself tries to spin to speed, in comes Orka RV to stop this whirling madness! Genocide barely gets to 1/3rds of its top speed when Orka crashes into it, getting knocked away a bit, but hurries back in and gets under one of the claws! Immediately, Orka wedges him, and shoves him into the arena wall...with a toss! And the blade hits it!

CRASH!!

And already we've got some major fracture action...to the arena wall! A large chunk of metal has been ripped right out of it?! What a horrifyingly powerful weapon of Genocide's! Unfortunately for Liam, that horrifyingly powerful weapon atop the triangular body has stopped completely, and Orka coming back in wedges the spinner and with a burst of CO2 tosses him over! The crowd anticipates the possible self-right Genocide's blade begins to spin up...but then to their dismay it stops as the robot itself begins to spin around! Genocide's spinning blade is actually spinning the robot around...but it is hitting the arena floor! Not in a way that would right it, sadly, but it is digging into the arena floor! :angry: Holy 20 second fight, Batman! We seem to be having rather a lot of these brief encounters, lately! Orka heads towards the pit release button, Chris foreseeing the inevitable, while The Watcher comes over to have a look. And after his quick look, the verdict of the referee is, thus:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!

And there goes what looked like a really worthy competitor! And...WHAM!!! Asterix crashes into Maximum Genocide, goodness me! Sent flying into the wall! Orka RV sees it chance to end the misery quickly, and gets to the wall, and underneath Genocide! Before either of the house robots can react, Chris activates the flipper and Maximum Genocide is catapulted from the arena floor to the tracks!

CEASE!

Maximum Genocide proves to be no more effective than the bare minimum pesticide! :proud:
Orka RV (6) advances to the Heat N Final!

Fight 2
Dantu vs. Liar 2

From Geddinton...Dantu!
The axlebot didn't have any success last time around, but its updated version has an improved Hardox chassis and retains its nasty 24kg Hardox disc which gets to speed nearly instantly! Its exposed wheels have extra re-inforcement to make them less vulnerable of being removed, but at 22mph, it will be very uncontrollable, and it has a high ground clearance as well.

C&B1: (as Dante) Defeated by Tails in Round 1.
C&B2: Didn't compete.
C&B3: (as Dante) Despite its toughness, the 2nd seed Tempest Evil-est-oution completely ripped off its wheels early in the 1st round.

From Enschede, Holland...Liar 2!
Unchanged from last wars, an axlebot with a flipper that works both ways up and protected by rounded side Hardox armour, and with two thwacking spikes near the tip of the flipper! The wheels here are also tough like its opponent, but like Dantu as well, it has a huge 22mph speed and this will hurt it control-wise, and it also has exceedingly large ground clearance if you get around the wedge.

C&B1: Didn't compete.
C&B2: (as Liar) Nearly defeated The Disc 5, but the sluggishly-moving barbell bot moved an inverted Liar into a position it couldn't right itself from properly, and it went out in the Heat Final.
C&B3: [seeded 23rd] Was flipped out in near-record time by Pure Evil: Revenge of the Disc, who then proceeded to rid the arena of the house robots.

Roboteers, stand by...

In the arena for the house robots, we have Sir Killalot with a claw and lance, and the evil blinking eyes...and Growler! What a roar!

ACTIVATE!

Axlebot atrocity! :proud: The two two-wheelers fly out at each other and there's a major collision already! A few sparks later and the disc of Dantu is grinding the flipper of Liar 2 and puts some major scratches in it with that first major dent, but eventually it stops...and Liar gives it a huge toss! And that was near terminal, that was! Dantu comes back down with a rather horrible CRUNCH onto its side, and falls onto its wheels, but seemingly alright. A sturdy bot in and out, to be frank! Martijn isn't impressed, and Liar 2 comes back in for another flip! But Dantu proves the more manoeuvrable, and makes a quick turn aside, hitting one of the side spikes and popping Liar up into the air! Liar wheelies for a sec, then drives forward and the momentum causes it to flip itself onto its back! Despite this, it's pushing into Dantu's disc and stopped it before it could spin up properly, and is pushing it backwards! A quick adjustment however and Liar is only pushing Dantu in circles! However, Liar makes a quick spin around and smacks Dantu aside with one of the spikes! This stuns Dantu for a split second, giving Martijn a great chance, and Liar scoops it up with the wedge and sends Dantu to the atmosphere with a major toss! Good points for Team Varying Every Day, as Dantu gets a good view of the Battlegrounds before crashing down onto one of the arena spikes, but bouncing away before the spike can come up. Once this happens, Dantu scoots away quickly, with a pursuing Liar 2 in back, but Dantu suddenly makes a spin of its own and clips the wedge of Liar 2, popping it again and this time inverting him onto his back...but that doesn't do much good because Liar's the same either way up! That's okay, Dantu's disc is spinning up again! Liar moves in again, only for the tricky Team DoomForAll robot to meet it head-on!

CRASH!!

And that's a major hit right there! The disc practically digs into the wedge; neither are sent very far, but Dantu is bounced into the air a bit. Liar however has a rather large dent in the wedge now to mirror the one on the flipper! This doesn't deter the former 23rd seed, though, and it rushes forward to take advantage of Dantu's stalled disc, and getting under launches it into the air a 3rd time! Dantu isn't so lucky this time, as it lands into Sir Killalot's CPZ! And there's no escape once Sir Killalot has you in his evil clutches! Our knight of the realm grasps Dantu's frame with his signature jaws of life, or of death it seems to be, and parades around the 'Grounds with Alex Holt's creation for all to see! Alex cringes as Killalot heads over to the arena saws and the sparks fly as the saws raise from the floor and cut into Dantu as Sir Killalot lowers him onto them! BZZT! ...trouble is, the saws don't seem to be doing much cutting...I see sparks, yes, but I also see that absolutely minimal damage is being done to the framework of Dantu! Even Sir Killalot seems to be baffled by this development, and in his surprise he appears to release Dantu...no, he REALLY does! And Dantu's away! Having escaped the saws, though, Dantu only runs straight back onto the flipper of Liar 2! Liar however fires the flipper much too early and Dantu is merely overturned! Dantu spins around and chases down Liar 2 as it tries to lower its flipper! Due to its poor control Liar slams back-first into the wall and Dantu catches up rather swiftly! With a nasty ram with its disc, Dantu smacks into the wedge and pops it up, adding a carve to the many dents and scratches on both the wedge and flipper! Due to its drivetrain advantage, Liar slowly begins to push Dantu backwards, though, but Dantu backs off to spin up its disc, while Liar shoots by entirely! Dantu then takes advantage of this by heading straight towards one of the wheels! WHAP! ...sturdy indeed! Doesn't look like the wheel was damaged, but Liar is the one who is turned end over end this time, and this gives Dantu even more time to spin up its disc! As Liar finally has both wheels on the ground again, Dantu races forward! It's too late for Liar to escape the onslaught as Dantu smacks the same spike it did before, and there's a noticeable gash in it, though small, as Liar is again flipped! Liar does some serious scurrying away now to regroup, but Alex is determined not to give Martijn any breathing room and pursues quickly! Halfway across the arena Liar suddenly spins around and gets a wedgeful of disc!

CRASH!

Another dig into the wedge, and the hit sends Liar onto the arena saws behind! BZZT! No sparks this time but Liar is carried over them and deposited back in front of Dantu! Its disc still spinning, Dantu pounds on the same wheel he did before, and Liar bounces again, thankfully over top of the saws this before and comes to rest behind them! Martijn is thankful for the buffer, as Alex tries to get around them. Martijn carefully moves Liar around and smacks Dantu aside as he approaches, getting Dantu's side again and sliding under! Another gigantic flip, and Dantu crashes down heavily onto the arena floor! It bounces in front of Growler who nudges him a bit, and rests near another set of saws. My goodness, how much flipping can Dantu take? For that matter, how many more blows from its disc can Liar 2 take? We'll have to wait and see! Dantu turns to meet an incoming Liar and can't get away in time; its half-spun up disc barely scratches Liar, but in his haste Martijn flips early again and Dantu flies into the wall, bouncing off, and Liar drives straight into it! Dantu backs off, but he doesn't have the best control either and promptly gives himself a killsaw bath! Liar tries to re-orient in time, and just manages to do as he gets the wedge under a trying-to-retreat Dantu, and launches him again...before getting ground up by the saws himself! :proud: Dantu flies once more, wheel over end, end over wheel, and actually sends itself skidding as its disc hits ground a bit, but recovers and turns to face Liar 2, who's recovered from his own saw bath and is racing back in like a freight train! Dantu starts spinning and his wheel hits the side of one of Liar's side spikes, moving him off-course and giving Dantu another shot at his sides! Alex takes another piece o' that real estate and digs the disc directly into the side this time!

CRASH!!

Liar is sent soaring, though not nearly as high as Dantu was when tossed, and lands directly on his wheels. He gets away before Dantu can move in for more damage, however, and makes for another thwack! Alex sees it coming, though, and Dantu simply waits. Eventually, his failing tactics eating up time, Martijn breaks out of the thwack and Alex makes his move, striking the wedge as Liar aggressively barges in...now it's easier for Dantu to get a grip on the wedge, as the tips are all bent up! And not much of a grip, but another nice toss! Liar is put onto his back again, but drives back in and stops Dantu spinning his disc up and gives him a quick thwack, disorienting him and getting a quick flip in on him before fully getting another giant toss...OH MY! That was almost out of the arena! Dantu thankfully bounces off the railing, but ends up near Sir Killalot's CPZ again! Sir Killalot, despite his rather sluggish speed, is quick to act and clamps onto Dantu's framework before the DoomForAll creation can escape, and the house robot treats the audience to another sawing of Dantu! Liar meanwhile goes to open the pit, and slams into the button just as Sir Killalot gets bored with being unable to cut through Dantu, and decides to swing around! Within a few revolutions, Killalot opens the claw and Dantu bounces across the arena...straight onto the flipper of Liar! Another gigantic flip! Dantu crashes down in a frenzied blur, toppling and twisting and finally coming to rest, but not for long, as it dodges out of the way of another Liar charge! Its disc spinning up again, it makes a quick spin around and makes a shot at the sides of Liar, but only gets the tip of its side spike! Liar is jolted up a bit, but comes back down quickly and slides the flipper under...oh he goes for the arena wal - no! Dantu slides off on the way! Liar makes a turn to recollect Dantu on the wedge, and gives him a...relatively weak toss? The flipper on Liar 2 is weary, running out of power. perhaps? Dantu isn't getting off that easy, though, as Liar 2 shoves it across the arena and they enter Growler's CPZ! Growler happily moves forward and munches down...on both Dantu's protective Kevlar bar and the tip of Liar's wedge! Oh my, he's got both robots! Liar tries to fire the flipper, and that dislodges the relatively weak grip Growler had on them! Denied his fun, Growler rams Liar and Dantu backwards...and Liar tosses Dantu on top of him! :proud: Dantu falls off the rear of Growler and moves around to try and get another shot at Liar, but there's hardly any time left to do so...

10...9...8...7...

Frantic, Liar moves away from Growler and tries to wedge Dantu again, but Dantu meets him with the disc and tosses him over again!

6...5...4...

Liar makes a thwacking motion though, but Dantu backs off, wise to Liar's tactics this time.

3...2...1...

Liar just bites the bullet now and drives straight into the disc of Dantu, and the flipper takes the big hit, now a tad bent!

CEASE!

A well fought match! Golly, we haven't had a heavyweight judges decision for a long while, have we? Well, that streak is now broken! Judges, your scores, if you please!

Dantu - Liar 2

Strategy = 0/5 - 5/5
Style = 2/10 - 8/10
Control = 11/15 - 4/15
Aggression = 5/20 - 15/20
