The Fowler Fic War Series 5

[pcbore]

For Paul and anyone else wondering about the wedge spikes on May Tracks, check my profile pic. As you can see, the spikes are curved backwards, so will only cause damage when going backwards over them. However, the spikes in the picture are bigger than they would be in reality. The reason I made them bigger is so you can see the curve easily.

By the way, regarding Acronyms. Itll have to be left unable to self right. Ill just have to treat that as a lesson.

Woot...two seeds.

[matty_haka]

Right, one important fact before I type up the draw.

as you may know I was recently made homeless, and thus have no access to my old PC and the information on it. as such I have forgotten 4 of Aarons entries, and also therefore, these are left with notes in the draw until I ask him. I will draw them randomly when they appear in order to not allow him to use the draw to his advantage. not that I believe he would anyway.

[dinowarrior]

Minor problem...Die-Ceratops and Axe-O-Lotl not only share a heat, but also a first round battle.

[craig_anto]

looks good, cant wait to see how i get on in my first tourney

[pcbore]

You never forget your first... tourney:wink:

Tactics for now will be to target Axeon. Go for the sides if poss, or dart in suddenly and strike the front, propelling us both away before the axe can strike. Obviously these tactics will be changed if the draw is.

as such I have forgotten 4 of Aarons entries, and also therefore, these are left with notes in the draw until I ask him. I will draw them randomly when they appear in order to not allow him to use the draw to his advantage. not that I believe he would anyway.

Lol, youve forgotten.... Ive forgotten!!! Lost a bit of work on vapours in the last few weeks due to Windows Failure at the last LAN party. Lost Spyder too ... Will draft up Wheel of Misfortune and a few others tonight.

Add Resonance, Black & White to my vapour entries, found here http://vapourbots.crystalnode.net/forum ... c.php?t=19.

Good line-up Matt, Ill post my tactics and predictions in first. My robots are in brackets ()

Heat 1

Shovearound 2 (1) v Tempest Evil-Est Oution v Axeon 2.0 - A good looking round round fight. The champion will go through no problem I think Axeon will join.

Black Panther Queen (17) v Orka MK.4 v Seung Mina II - A little bit closer. Black Panther Queen is through striaght away, but its close between the other two...Ill go for Orka.

Heat Winner: Shovearound 2, failing that, Black Panther Queen

Heat 2

Achilles (3) v (Knock-Out) v CRAPBAG - I DONT BELIEVE THIS!!!! Ive been put in with two very good flippers. I dont usually say wanna gang-up but I do. Alex, confirm if you want to attack CRAPBAG. If he says yes, wait till he flips Craig over and then hammer the base and wheels. If Alex says no, wait for one to get flipped and then hammer the wheels.

GeForce (19) v MegaByte v Liar - GeForce is already though, probably with Megabyte.

Heat Winner: Achilles is the obvious favourite, but I could be the underdog of the heat (Im not over-cockey!)

Heat 3

Whirligig 4.0 (5) v Senkaganzen v Battle Raptor 4 - The runner up form FFW 3.1 is through straight away. I dont know about Senkaganzen, so Ill say later.

Salamander 3 (21) v Dead Horse Beater v YACATR - Salamander!! Another seed that is instantly going through, possibly with Dead Horse Beater.

Heat Winner: Im going to shock us all, and go for Salamander, triumphing over Whirligig.

Heat 4

Axe to Fall (7) v Mega Masher v Dysfunction - Axe To Fall, seeded, favourite and Mega Masher, belonging to Chris to go through.

Slammer V (23) v (MeCannibal) v Kan Opener - YES! Thanks Matty! Slammer and Kan-Opener are both vulnerable to spinners, mostly Kan-Opener who I WILL attack. Spin up, charge into the jaws of Kan-Opener and unleash hell upon him. Attack Salmmer if I must, but keep on Kan-Opener.

Heat Winner: Axe To Fall or me.

Heat 5

Wedginator (9) v PUMP v A Night At The Bar - Kodys best robot against PUMP and ANATB...Kody and Martijn to win.

SoR (25) v All Apologies v Drilla Killa - AJs uberbot to go through straight away, to be joined by Richard.

Heat Winner: Wedginator

Heat 6

Leprosy Infection (11) v Killotine:Evo v Door Stops - I believe that the seeded robot might not make it. Maybe Door Stops will go if it doesnt.

Back to Rock 2 (27) v Psyclonised v The Grand Disillusion - Psyclonised goes through striaght away, useless its ganged-up on. Back To Rock 2 might go as well.

Heat Winner: Killtone: EVO/Psyclonised

Heat 7

ForcePower 5.0 (13) v (Down-Force) v Slaying Mantis - There are two main robots in this fight - ForcePower 5.0, an overkill rammer and me, a normal rammer with a decent weapon. Im going to attack the seed and catch him with my claw. Attack him from the sides and try to ram him down the pit.

Epidemic (29) v 8645T v Warrior SKF - Two realies and one vapour. The vapour is through, possibly with the American realie.

Heat Winner: Epidemic

Heat 8

Gravity (15) v SUNCUST v Megalodon Maneater - I believe that Gravity might go out here.

Archangel of the Abyss (31) v Chameleon v SBPOTFR - Archangel I believe will go through striaght away, but he might go with one of the other two I dont know about.

Heat Winner: Archangel

Heat 9

Agro 3.5 (16) v Translator v Y4 - Y4 might be surprising in this fight, and he might go through with Agro 3.5

Mute (32) v Shadow Zone v (Nitro-Gene) - A brilliant draw for me. I can get under both of these, outpush both of these, but Ill go for Mute, get under him and throw him OOTA

Heat Winner: Agro 3.5, Shadow Zone or Me

Heat 10

Razer (14) v Scaramanga v La Machine - La Machine out! No question!

The May Tracks Has You (30) v Wheel of Misfortune v Sheer Heart Attack - Im going to go for Martijn and Frank to win.

Heat Winner: May Tracks most likely

Heat 11

Wedge Devolution (12) v Cyberdemon v SYNDOS - Wedge Devolution is going through, easily with Cyberdemon.

Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus (2 v Acronyms v Axe-O-Lotl - Im not going to say until the draw is sorted out.

Heat Winner: See above

Heat 12

IDSFA (10) v Intrigue v Blendo - Blendo has a habit of self-destructing, Im going for Frank and Kody.

(Tornado (26)) v [Aaron vapour] v Firestorm - Ill wait until Aaron reveals his choices but when he does, Im going for FireStorm and sticking on the spike.

Heat Winner: ISDSFA

Heat 13

Storm 2 ( v Terror Gear 3 v Behemoth - Bad draw for Antony. If the two realies attack each other it might stand a chance, but not this time.

(Tough As Nails (24)) v Crash Bandi-bot v Cortez - I dont know what Im going to do, but Ill team up with Cortez.

Heat Winner: Storm 2 - I dont stand a chance.

Heat 14

Flick of the Wrist (6) v (A.R.R.T.D.S) v The Master - Im going to take out Flick beating it at its own game - ram it hard into the walls and kill it. If I remove it early on, it will improve my chances of winning a heat.

Clawdius Decimus Murderous (22) v [Aaron realie] v Shotgun Slapper - CDM through, but I dont know until Aaron tells us WHO his entrance is.

Heat 15

Wedga€™s Revenge (4) v Tenderizer€™s Revenge v Spring-BOK - Wedga is a former champion and most likely to win. Maybe with Tenderizer

Metal Sonic Spin dash (20) v (Turbulence) v [Aaron realie] - I dont know yet.

Heat Winner: Wedgas Revenge

Heat 16

The Disc 5 (2) v [Aaron realie] v Griffon - The Disc 5 is deffinately going through. With Aaron.

Tengu (1 v Mr. Slave 2 v Big Nipper - Tengu is very powerful and will go through the very good Big Nipper

Heat Winner: Big Nipper/Tengu VII

A very good line-up from you Matty, and serveral matches Im quite happy with.
