Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!
Dave - sorry, you cant.
4 robots gone, 4 robots remain. Now for Round 2, where champ The Disc 4 is about to meet Squish!
3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
The Disc 4 paused as Squish came hurtling towards it, aiming to grab the axle. As it came close, The Disc 4 turned, but so did Squish! They turned until a wheel of the 1st seed ran up Squishs wedge, but The Disc 4 shifted and the disc hit the armour, causing it to bounce back and just miss being captured by the claw! Squish moved in quickly, bringing the claw down to stop the axle - it overshot and the claw lowered behind the axle for a moment, then the tungsten teeth hit the claw and moved The Disc 4 forwards on the wedge, allowing it to make contact with the armour! This made it bounce back into a position where the left wheel touched the floor - it tried turning and the axle hit the claw again, but didnt do too much to the Hardox, and made The Disc 4 bounce forward again! Squish was being knocked a little by these successive impacts as it tried to carry its victim, but eventually the disc and axle started slowing down from the impacts! This allowed Squish to take The Disc 4 where it wanted, which was to the pit release, and then to the pit! However, the reigning champ wouldnt die easily! As Squish raised its crusher to drop it in, The Disc 4 swerved and brought itself off the wedge, just missing dropping into the pit! It came down to one side of Squish, was able to spin up the disc again quickly, and strike Squish in the side before it could quite escape! Squish was tilted, and The Disc 4 took advantage by knocking it over towards the pit, and another bash sent it in!
CEASE!
THE DISC 4 GOES THROUGH TO THE HEAT FINAL!
One place left in the first VFT6 heat final - will Psyclone or Biohazard (repaired after the first melee) fill it?
3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Both robots stayed where they were for a moment, as Psyclone spun up, then the spinner charged Biohazard. Biohazard moved quickly to escape, then stopped near the arena wall and waited for Psyclone to come within range. Psyclone paused, unsure, then after a few seconds, it attacked! Biohazard aimed to dodge, but Psyclone caught the rear - it didnt fly thanks to its treaded wheels, but Biohazard did, spinning into a brief vortex! Psyclone followed, and hit the side! Biohazard skimmed again, stopping just short of the wall, some of the hinges holding the right skirt torn away! It waited near the arena wall again, jerking a little to show it wasnt immobilised. Again, Psyclone was cautious, then decided to attack the part of Biohazard facing it - the front. It rushed in and made contact, as Biohazard raised its arm to try and overturn it! But the American robot could only lift for a moment before it was flung against the wall and off, and Psyclones high ground clearance kept it just clear of the ground! Attacking again, the 17th seed hit the left skirt, breaking a few hinges there and leaving a long wound across the sponsor logos! Biohazard turned and tried running at Psyclone to flip it again, but the wounded arm would only raise slowly, not enough to affect Psyclone before it was hit, and immobilised once again!
Psyclone quickly seized the oppotunity to hit the wound in the left skirt again, finally causing the rear half to peel away from Biohazards body! Biohazard hit the wall as it flew and was stunned for a moment, then tried to tempt Psyclone into the wall again. Unafraid, Psyclone advanced, but stopped short as Biohazard dodged. Finding itself at one side, Biohazard charged to try and knock Psyclone into the wall, but only skimmed away itself due to Psyclones traction! Moving away from the wall as Biohazard charged, the 17th seed hit it in the front again, causing more damage, then running into the right skirt to eliminate more hinge! Biohazard spun around into the wall again, allowing Psyclone to hit the robot where the left skirt had come away! The rear left wheel was tossed away, and a painful scar was left in the armour! Unable to take any more punishment, Biohazard stopped dead! Psyclone evilly ran into the rear again, opening the panel a bit, but then decided to leave the badly damaged and unmoving Biohazard alone as it was counted out.
CEASE!
PSYCLONE GOES THROUGH TO THE HEAT FINAL!
Heat A Final:
The Disc 4 (1) vs Psyclone (17)
Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!
2/2 predictions correcto! :proud:
HEAT A
ROUND 3 THOUGHTS
Ill be controversial and say Psyclone to halt the Disc with a narrow JD
Fights are brimming over with wootyness as always, Richie :mrgreen:
Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!
Hit Psyclone as soon as possible. I should be fully spun up by the time we meet. Its probably impossible to flip an FBS while its spinning, but thats OK. If I hit it, it wont be spinning anymore so it should go over:)
After that, spin up again quickly and attack the polycarb base before it self rights, and hopefully I can kill it from the butt upwards.
...Theres a mental image I coulda done without:lame:
Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!
yes Frank.
Wooty fights Richard, it doesnt matter about Black Chalkie Beard.
Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!
The Disc 4 (1) vs Psyclone (17)
Go for the wheels, rip it to peices, no mercy. :)
Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!
Thanks for all your comments! And youve still got seven robots left, Aaron!
The first VFT6 heat final is here, and the first filled place in the first semifinal is on the horizon! Like VFT5, its a clash of the seeds - The Disc 4 and Psyclone! Will The Disc 4 be on its way to a title defence, or will Psyclone pull a Tempest Evil-oution?
3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Both robots came towards each other, and both had already spun up by the time they met. With a crash, they collided - The Disc 4 went flying to one side, its left wheel hitting Psyclone as it went so it ended up spinning around! Quickly stabilising, Psyclone came in and managed to hit the right wheel, which spun the first seeds disc into its body, but the Hardox teeth swatted it away while the 17th seed was tilted a little! The Disc 4 was sent wheel-first into the wall - as it bounced off, Psyclone hit it in the left wheel and sent it into the wall disc-first, so it flew backwards, missing Psyclone! Psyclone followed, but the champ quickly recovered and attacked head on, intercepting Psyclones attempt to swerve, striking with the disc and causing another wobble while being knocked away itself! This time, The Disc 4 balanced on one wheel as it flew, and Psyclone followed it - as it spun around, the disc just missed and Psyclone hit the left wheel, denting the wheel guard and taking The Disc 4 even more off the ground, so it almost met the wall again! Back on track, The Disc 4 dodged Psyclone as it advanced and managed to hit while Psyclone was close to the wall! Psyclone brushed the wall, slowing the shell, but The Disc 4 was unable to reach it before it had spun up again!
Psyclone reversed away from the wall, outpacing The Disc 4, and tried luring it towards the arena disc. The Disc 4 saw what was going on and stopped, and both were stationary for a moment. The Disc 4 moved first, and Psyclone quickly joined it, trying to swerve again, but The Disc 4 cut it off and whacked it, although the spinning shell propelled it disc first into the wall, and this time when it bounced back, its left wheel hit Psyclone and it was spun into the wall again, running into the arena disc as it bounced again! And before it could recover, Psyclone advanced and knocked it into the disc again! The Disc 4 missed Psyclone as it flew again, but Psyclone took care of that by hitting it in the left wheel again! The champion had survived the abuse thanks to its heavy armouring, but its wheel guards were now extremely battered and pierced a little!
The Disc 4 moved back towards the wall and waited for Psyclone to attack. The 17th seed approached cautiously, getting closer, until The Disc 4 moved to one side and attacked! Psyclone also moved, hitting the disc and the left wheel, so The Disc 4 was sent into the wall and back into Psyclone, hitting it and slowing its shell! Psyclone was shifted by the impact and started reversing away from the first seed, successfully spinning up again and following The Disc 4 back to the wall! It approached The Disc 4 from the other side to spin it away from the wall, so the champ tried running round Psyclone, but the spinner intercepted it and landed another blow to the disc and left wheel, piercing the wheel guard and spinning The Disc 4 away while only tilting a little itself! Recovering quickly, The Disc 4 ran at Psyclone and another head on collision resulted, which caused The Disc 4 to almost crash into the wall again!
The Disc 4 stayed where it was, waiting for Psyclone to attack - Psyclone again went for the left, so The Disc 4 ran round it sooner. But this didnt help, as Psyclone reacted quickly and aimed to hit the wheel, but was hit by the disc again, although again the champion flew! The Disc 4 advanced after spinning, but couldnt reach Psyclone fast enough before it was away from the wall! Psyclone again moved towards the arena disc, and there was another standoff between the two, until The Disc 4 moved first, dodged Psyclones aiming for the wheel and ran towards the disc itself! Psyclone came back and The Disc 4 dodged, aiming to knock the 17th seed into the disc, but Psyclone stopped in time and went into The Disc 4 to hit the disc and right wheel! Psyclone moved away from the arena disc, and The Disc 4 followed, sticking close to the wall, but when Psyclone went towards the pit release, it didnt follow! So Psyclone just returned to the first seed but managed to dodge the attack and hit the right wheel, brushing the disc as well! The Disc 4 glanced off the wall as it flew, but was back on track just in time to strike Psyclone as it wheeled towards it - once again, it was The Disc 4 that flew away! It waited around the wall again, and Psyclone faithfully came in slowly, but as The Disc 4 ran around it again, it successfully did so! Psyclone brushed a wheel, but The Disc 4 was still on course to hit Psyclone, be spun into the wall and remain close to the 17th seed! In the following impact, this did happen, with The Disc 4 bouncing back and forth between the wall and Psyclone a couple of times, but Psyclone ran and spun up its shell, although time ran out before another impact, so it spun it down - the Hardox armour was scratched, but nothing like the damage on The Disc 4! What would happen to the VFT5 Champion in the first judges decision of VFT6?
CEASE!
Aggression: The Disc 4 - 5, Psyclone - 5 (there was equal aggression between the two)
Damage: The Disc 4 - 2, Psyclone - 8 (P caused a lot of damage to TD4s wheel guards, while TD4 didnt do as much to P)
Strategy: The Disc 4 - 7, Psyclone - 3 (TD4 had more strategy than P -using the wall and the arena disc - but limited success)
Control: The Disc 4 - 4, Psyclone - 6 (P was more controlled)
Style: The Disc 4 - 3, Psyclone - 7 (sending TD4 flying many times gives P more points here)
Dominance: The Disc 4 - 3, Psyclone - 7 (the fight mainly consisted of the two robots attacking each other, but P initiated more hits and TD4 came off worst from each one)
Final Score: The Disc 4 - 24, Psyclone - 36
PSYCLONE GOES THROUGH TO THE SEMI FINALS!
Next time on VFT6, third seed Manic Monsoon will try and drown Cholera, Powerpoint Reaches Pressurepoint and Slammer IV!
And nineteenth seed Whirligig 4.0 will attempt to send Battle Rat, Growling Storm 2.5 and National Speed Limit Applies spinning out of the tournament!
Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!
WOOHOO! 3 in a row for the Official VFT Predictor! :proud:
HEAT B

BattleRat VS Growling Storm 2.5 VS National Speed Limit Applies VS WHIRLIGIG 4.0 (19)
BattleRats first on the list. Its simply a case of revving up and aiming for the sides. Its DeShelling Time, folks! :proud:
After that, rev up again and take on whoevers nearest. :proud:
Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!
Thank you Richard! Ive finally defeated that heap o junk! :lame:
Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!
GROWLING STORM 2.5s TACTICS:
While Whirligig 4.0 goes after BattleRat, Ill take on National Speed Limit Applies, and try and catch up to its speed, but when I have it cornered, Ill either wedge underneath it or grab it with my jaw, and bring it to the pit. If Steve hasnt successfully taken out Battle Rat, then I shall team up with it to take it out. And if he has, then Growling Storm 2.5 and Whirligig 3.0 will team up on NSA, and NSA should be either immobilised or pitted before the battle is over. :)
