Erm, details on Tails please

[steven_mcg]

New fights?! Whoda thunk it?!

HEAT B
ROUND 2
1) MegaVerter (19) VS Supreme Glory Gamma
Hope youve got your parachute ready, Dan.

2) Sheer Hell VS TAILS
Surviving the ArchAngel is mind-boggling to say the least. Here, its a case of sticking to the sides and flipping it over before the discs can dice me up too much. Once inverted, batter with the bar or try and slam it into the Pit before it can self-right

[team_britespark]

Oh......dear.

I think my only chance here is to try and take the match to a JD and win on damage and aggression by constantly hammering the armouring on MegaVerter. It doesnt matter if it actually causes long term damage, as long as it does some cosmetic injuries, it should be enough to make the judges award points. Oh, and another thing...

AVOID THAT FLIPPER!

[razerdave]

Tails box shape is an easy shape to cut up. I can do a 13 Black style spin to avoid the flipper if he is faster than I am, but Ill only use that as a last resort.

Time for round 2
Mega Verter (19) V Supreme Glory Gamma
House robots: Cassius Chrome and Matilda
3.2.1.ACTIVATE
The two robots more towards each other, supreme glory gamma being over so slightly faster than mega verter means the two robots meet in the centre of the arena. Mega verter€™s flipper is slightly lower than Gamma€™s skirts so it slips under and sends gamma over. Gamma quickly selfrights and heads back on the attack. It can turn easier and quicker than mega verter and starts hammering on the side of the 19th seed. Mega verter turns around and backs away from gamma. Mega verter gets under the veteran and flips it over but as supreme glory gamma selfrights mega verter pushes it into Matilda€™s cpz who has her flywheel tail sticking out. It smacks into the bottom flipping supreme glory gamma away but only leaving a scratch in the plastic armour. Supreme glory gamma recovers and selfrights and moves back towards mega verter who has flipped matilda over. Gamma hits the disc of doom activation button as that disc spins up mega verter moves over to the axe bot but gamma has higher manoverability so dodges the attack. Soon however Mega verter is on the trail of the veteran but cant catch it. Gamma turns to come side on to the 19th seed and starts smacking it over and over again with the axe. The axe starts to make an impact when supreme glory gamma has a wild spasm and lands on its side away from mega verter. Gamma quickly selfrights and heads back towards mega verter who is waiting for it. Mega verter gets under the veteran and flips sending it over and towards the arena wall. Supreme glory gamma tries to selfright but mega verter is has pushed it against the wall. Mega verter flips and Supreme glory gamma lands safely on the camera track. Not satisfied with that mega verter turns into cassius chrome and flips the €œshimmy bot€ over, Mega verter now flips the Refbot and then it stops knowing all the 3 house bots have been beaten.
Cease
Supreme Glory Gamma didn€™t have much glory there
Mega Verter (19) goes through to the heat final

Sheer Hell V Tails
House robots: Sgt Bash and Dead metal.
3.2.1.ACTIVATE
Both sheer hell and tails start to get their weapons up to speed. Sheer hell goes in with the horizontal disc and bashes into the side of tails. Tails turns to go on the attack but Sheer hell is ready for it and starts spinning on the spot causing tails to be knocked away with a gash in the side and the fur falling off. Sheer hell stops spinning and goes on the attack with its vertical disc flipping the newbie. Tails selfrights with its firestorm style flipper and smacks into the side of sheer hell with its bar thing causing a small amount of damage. Sheer hell spins around and goes vertical disc to bar slanted bar bang there is a flash of sparks and a grinding of gears as the two powerful weapons collide. Sheer hells vertical disc is soon back up to speed however tails€™s bar is left still after the powerful impact. Sheer hell uses this to its advantage as it smacks the disc into tails again flipping it, sheer hell keeps hitting and tossing tails until its in Sgt Bash€™s cpz. The flamethrower on Bash lights up as it torches tails while doing more damage to the rear end with its front cutters. Tails is released a little bit on fire and selfrights out of the cpz. Tails drives over to the refbot who puts the fire out. Tails repays the refbot by flipping him over. Sheer hell mean while has activated the pit release button. Tails comes over to attack the side but sheer hell is ready and smacks the side of the bolding robot putting a nice slit in the side. Sheer hell backs away to turn and bring the vertical disc into play. The powerful disc flips tails again. Steven pushes the flipper button but nothing happens tails doesn€™t move. Sheer hell senses something€™s wrong so backs off to let tails be counted out by the refbot. 1.2.3.4.5.6 tails manages to selfright finally. Sheer hell starts to spin up again and smacks into the rear of tails flipping it. Sheer not wanting to lose now batters the rear of tails towards the pit and the battered newcomer tails falls into the big black hole of broken dreams.
Cease

[steven_mcg]

ALL-STARZ
ALL SCOOP AND NO STAB MAKE STEVE A DULL BOY VS ForcePower Turbo VS Panic Attack VS S.D. IV

Spin Dash will focus its attacks on the slower Panic Attack. Just keep to the sides, slide the skirts and chew the wheels to death
Meanwhile, ASANSMSADB will use the same tactics from the MRW World Championship against ForcePower. Basically, keep to the sides and either flip til out the ring or clamp and Pit.

Well ages is gone and for now the all-stars and other side events have been sidelined

So the heat B final
Sheer Hell V Mega Verter (19)
3.2.1.ACTIVATE
Sheer hell starts to spin up and it doges away from the coming mega verter. Sheer hell goes into the side of mega verter with its vertical disc rocking the 19th seed. Mega verter flips to rebalance it self. Mega verter slowly turns and catches the rear of Sheer hell flipping it up in the air but not over. Sheer hell spins around and smacks into what could be called the front scoop of mega verter who flips the front horizontal disc sending sheer hell over and into the wall. Sheer hell tries to selfright but mega verter was close to the wall and is able to send sheer hell straight over the wall.
