The Crash & Burn Tournament 2

[paulc]

WHAT A SHOCK! Anyway, my predictions

Round 2

Knightrous Wedge vs. Panicking: To be honest, this fight could go either way, but its mostly going towards Panicking.

Metal Sonic Spin Dash vs. Cosmic Thunder 2: If Steven gets around the sides, he could win, but the faster, lower wedge of Alex M is going to win it here.

HEAT FINAL: PANICKING vs. COSMIC THUNDER 2

From those choices, Im going to go for the highly underrated COSMIC THUNDER 2 to make the series semis.

Great fights as ever Kody

For the heat final I will say... Knightrous v Cosmic Thunder 2.

and then Knightrous to win the heat

Keep up the good work Kody Im loving this series

[knightrous]

Apply downward pressure on the front lifting arm and ram at the skirts, with 100kg of robot weight focused onto the tip of the lifting arm, it should easily bounce the skirts up and let Knightrous Wedge under. Then manuver Panicking to the arena wall either by ramming him there or flipping him over and and over till I get him against the wall. Stack him against it so he cant drive or wriggle off, or if I can, flip him out.

If I can get the lifting arm into a wheel well, Ill use it to drag him and put him into the pit...


Will also keep Knightrous Wedge nice and slow in this battle. Only using a burst of speed when needed to get out of trouble. I want to focus heavily on controlling the battle.

[pcbore]

Im going to predict Knightrous Wedge and MSSD to go through

HEAT I
ROUND 2
Cosmic Thunder 2 VS METAL SONIC SPIN DASH

OK, we can both reach the same top speed. Cosmic Thunder is the more manoueverable, but I should have the more control. Aim for the sides or rear corners of the machine and head for the Pit. If I feel a little braver, smash it into a wall or two and try to scoop it up onto the barbs. Once caught, take a trip to Pit Town before it can flip itself away.

Oh and try to sink my teeth into those lovely big tyres of course.

[siphai]

I need to get to his sides and flip him about, staying away from the disc of course. Hopefully a quick OOTA will happen here, otherwise get under him and pit him :P

Knightrous Wedge vs. Panicking

Knightrous Wedge controlled almost the entire fight last time, but it was the favourite, Shovearound 2, who went out instead of Cosmic Thunder 2.

Panicking shoved Powerpoint the Thrasher against the wall, and then Metal Sonic Spin Dash took Mattys machine to the pit.

Roboteers, stand by...

Booth 1: Knightrous Wedge
Booth 2: Panicking

Taki-san and Tira-san look dark and menacing under the arena lights as they patrol their CPZs.

ACTIVATE!!

Panicking is the first out, but Knightrous Wedge bursts out a second later, right towards the forks of his adversary! The arm outstrips the forks clearance and raises them up, as with the rest of the robot, and Panicking is sent skyward! It crashes back down, right onto its back, but that doesnt stop it from working almost the exact same way. Unfortunately, it also doesnt stop Knightrous Wedges persistance, and the arm penetrates the rear skirt before Panicking has a chance to turn around. This time, however, Aaron does not flip the other bot, but carries it to the wall, and FLIP! But no, for Panicking is indeed slammed against the wall but comes back down, standing on his forks. Knightrous Wedge backs off, but the forks begin to lift, and push Panicking forwards. Instantly, Aaron reacts, as Knightrous Wedge tackles the forks and stacks Panicking against that nice wall again. Panicking however falls right back onto Aarons bots wedge. FLIP! Panicking is tossed, but again against the arena wall, and again standing on his forks, which are propelling Martyns lifter forwards again. Aaron is getting irritated by this, and the big wedge slips under Panicking once more, who falls on him (again ) and carries him with the wedge. Panicking struggles to get off, but it seems Aaron has reached his destination: an empty CPZ! Panicking is tossed against the corner and right onto his back again, but he cant escape, as the house robots have jetted out of their own CPZs at that moment Knightrous Wedge sent Panicking there! Its Taki who takes advantage, tackling the skirt near the forks, penetrating it, and lifting up the Panic Attack lookalike. Tiras blade makes an appearance as it slashes Panickings underbelly! WHAP! ...wait, wheres the crash? OHHHHH!!! Panicking is seperated about 25 feet from his right middle wheel! Knightrous Wedge flies in again, seeing an opportunity, and tries to get the lifter under that fully exposed wheel hole, but Taki lets Panicking down. Aaron lowers his own flipping arm and slides underneath the side, tossing Panicking further into the CPZ! (FLIP!) Tira sidles back, blade back at speed, as Martyn is beginning to panic himself. None too keen on letting the house bots have some more fun though is Aaron, and his wedgebot flicks Panicking right up against the wall! (FLIP!) Panicking however comes down, right side up, and his forks are pointing right at Knightrous Wedges side! Martyn jumps at this, and before Aaron can even blink the forks lift up his bot and hold it high into the air! Its just too bad that Tira had to barge in again.
CRASH!!!
In the confusion of green and purple sparks, Tiras blade brutalizes the side skirt of Panicking, tearing it clean off and flinging it several metres! Panicking is jolted a little but still manages to keep a hold on Knightrous Wedge, and begins to carry him away from the CPZ! The house robots return to their respective corners as Panicking, prize held high, reverses towards the pit release button, rather slowly and at an angle, mind you, due to inflicted damage...Knightrous Wedge fires the flipper in desperation, and it gives Aaron new life: his underbelly slides away from the tip of the forks, and lands on the ground! Horrified, Martyn directs Panicking and it tackles Knightrous Wedge in the rear, but Aaron steers his bot away and turns it around to face Panicking. Both bots collide but its Knightrous Wedge who prevails, defeating the forks and flicking over Panicking (FLIP!), but doesnt stop with the forwards velocity, charging into Panicking before hes even landed, and carrying to the wall...FLIP! And this time its good, as Panicking bounces on the railing and hits the outside floor of the arena.

CEASE!

Panicking really needs to put himself back together.
Knightrous Wedge advances to the Heat I Final!!

Metal Sonic Spin Dash vs. Cosmic Thunder 2

Metal Sonic Spin Dash, after help from Panicking, disposed of Powerpoint the Thrasher 5 in the pit to move on.

Cosmic Thunder 2 managed to stay out of trouble long enough for Knightrous Wedge to toss crowd favourite Shovearound 2 over the fence.

Roboteers, stand by...

Booth 1: Cosmic Thunder 2
Booth 2: Metal Sonic Spin Dash

Asterix Heroicus loves the spotlight, but today hell have to share it with the scaly 800kg bot Ancalagon the Black.

ACTIVATE!!

Each bot starts off immediately trying to go after the others sides. MSSD spins around, and then spins in reverse to try and outmanoeuvre Alexs machine, to find that he himself has been outmanoeuvred, as Alex had moved at all since moving right up to MSSD, and now does so! Cosmic Thunder attacks the sides, and slides under them, immediately tossing the hedgehogbot right onto its back. The self-righter comes into play, but it falls right back onto Cosmic Thunders wedge! FLIP! Over goes Steves bot again! Cosmic Thunder charges forward as he flips, and pushes Steves bot towards the arena wall, and denies MSSD a chance to regain his footing! MSSD does not right himself, but waits. Cosmic Thunder slides underneath..only a little, and FLIP! MSSD is flicked against the wall, but comes back down, and Steve activates the srimech, and MSSD almost rolls forward...only to meet Cosmic Thunders wedge again, and FLIP! MSSD is thrown skyward and...OOTA! Short fight that was, ladies and gentlemen! Steve puts his top hat over his eyes in anguish.

CEASE!

Metal Sonic Spin Dash has gotten so rusty to the point where hes not so sonic anymore.
Cosmic Thunder 2 advances to the Heat I Final!!

LOL... Best Weapons Stats EVER Im going to aim for the sides and rear, they are the best places for sucess. Same tactics as last time. Wedge, ram to wall, stack/flip.

Be aggressive & controlling

Heat I Final

Knightrous Wedge vs. Cosmic Thunder 2: I feel that this might go either way. Knightrous has the more power, but but Cosmic Thunder is the more agile and probably has the more powerful weapon. I believe that Aaron might lose control and Alex will take advantage of that to land Knightrous OOTA, and Cosmic Thunder in the semi-finals

[siphai]

Weapons - A really nice flipper.

ugh, are you serious? I thought I made Cosmic Thunder a little more specifically than that :P whatever

Anyway this is the same as the first round fight. I was able to get under him without too much difficulty, so try and use my more controlled drive to get around and under him for a flip.
