Round of 16
Fight 6

Cosmic Thunder 2 vs Y4

Cosmic Thunder 2: Yet another wedge flipper . Alex M and W entered a very low skirted wedge with transparent Hardox for an armour . Very creative Alex :wink:.

Y4: A rarer breed of flippers, the T-Minus look-alike. This boxier variant sacrifices a long arm for more advantageous leverage. Lets see how this works out :wink:.

ACTIVATE!

Two machines with the exact same top speed head towards each other, both looking to get a flipper weapon in! Y4 steers for a careful attack, Cosmic Thunder steers for a careful attack€¦
CLANG!
Wedge hits wedge! Amazing! The 2 low to the ground wedges are well designed and won€™t give in. Cosmic Thunder retreats a bit, drives around, and now penetrates the boxy bottom of its opponent!
FLIP!
Cosmic Thunder deals the first hit in this Flipper Frenzy with a big powerflip on Y4. Cosmic Thunder steers its way towards the T-Minus look-alike, but Alex forgot to notice its invertibility . Y4 turns away and moves clear from danger. Chris presses a mighty red button on his controller and sends T-Minus high into the air and back onto the ground in a stylish motion. Cosmic Thunder is still right behind it, but the 2 wheel driven Y4 isn€™t all that unmanoeuvrable itself and drives around the side of Cosmic Thunder and clean underneath Cosmic Thunder€™s side skirt that oddly leaves 0.5 mm GC underneath it€¦
FLIP!
Whoa! Y4 almost topples over itself with that flip, and Cosmic Thunder goes cosmic . The Thunder falls down and bounces towards the wall, but stays within the boundaries of my arena. Y4 gives chase, but Cosmic Thunder is just as invertible as Y4 and drives away to self-right and fight another day. Cosmic Thunder turns around, and the two battling bots face wedge-to-wedge. Cosmic Thunder displays its superior manoeuvrability and finds its way under Y4! Alex takes Y4 a few metres forwards this time rather than flipping it immediately. Y4 tries to move off the wedge by activating its own flipper, but Alex is quick with the controls€¦
FLIP!
Wow! Y4 travels a few metres through the air before falling down and OOTA! This has to be the longest throw to an OOTA so far in this tournament, and Alex pats his own shoulder for pulling it off. Chris himself doesn€™t look all too worried oddly and steers his inverted invertible machine with its rear facing the wall. Cosmic Thunder lines up to welcome it back, since Alex is well aware of what might happen next€¦
FLIP!
DAMN! Y4 turns around 720 degrees through the air like a mad Tasmanian Devil and lands back into the arena, again on its back, and on top of Cosmic Thunder! Y4€™s wheels get a grip on Cosmic Thunder€™s see-through Hardox and drives off just as Alex uses his flipper!
FLIP!
Y4 moves high rather than far due to it moving to the back of Cosmic Thunder€™s wedge and twacks down RIGHT behind Cosmic Thunder. Alex reverses his machine and uses his rear skirt to wedge rush Y4 and push it around, and the relatively underpowered 2WD flipper proofs to be an effective rambot . Chris uses his good ol€™ €œflip yerself and get out of danger€-tactic again, and comes down right next to Cosmic Thunder. The agile cosmic vapour however is getting up to steam and turns around (still in reverse), to continue its rambot-imitation, now into the direction of the pit! Before Y4 can use its trick again, Cosmic Thunder improvises and does a front-hinged flipper imitation. Y4 is slammed towards the wall€¦ and narrowly over, and into the pit!

CEASE

Y4, pitted and OOTA he is
Cosmic Thunder 2, to the quarter finals he goes
