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!
