Send in some tactics, predictions and comments after Ive written the battles

[joey_picus]

Lets see if we can get a proper tourney all the way through this time, Paul

Ill post tactics and predictions as the battles come, but Ill be away for a period of time shortly, so anything of mine that comes then reverts to Alex Holt style tactics.

HEAT A
Intriguer (1) vs. Leviathan vs. The Grudge
The champ through here, along with Leviathan.

Gabriel III (17) vs. Supreme vs. The Deer
Gabriel in the first heat again, wewt. I shall entertain the idea of teaming up with Supreme here, as I dont think Deer can really grab on to Gabriel. I shall go underneath the Deer, get it caught on the barbs and deliver either to Supreme or to the arena walls for a swift OOTA.

[kodster]

*sees Heat A*

Paul, you son of a -

Well at least Ill be able to get my grudge match with Supreme now.

Now, can we have a proper major tournament that wont be cancelled and/or done into hypotheticals at all for whatever reason? Please? :P

Predictions and tactics next post.

[kodster]

And here we go again.

Heat 1
Intriguer (1) vs. Leviathan vs. The Grudge

I forget what Leviathan looks like, so Ill ignore it and destroy The Grudge.

Gabriel III (17) vs. Supreme vs. The Deer

The Deer against two opponent it cant grab well...I dont fancy its chances.

Heat winner: Uh...me. But if I have to pick someone whod beat me in the Heat final, itd be Supreme...right.

Heat 2
Ramthrax 2 (3) vs. Lethal Execution vs. Hatchet: Evo

Flip Ramthrax and its pretty much useless, like Tornado. I dont think thatll happen though. Hatchet out.

Gravity (19) vs. Dantomkia vs. Visioned

BWAHAHAHA Visioned will go through for purely staying out of the way while Gravity and Dantomkia settle their grudge...and Gravity will show Mr. Lambert who;s boss, Im sure.

Heat winner: Gravity has the best chances.

Heat 3
Kali (5) vs. Paralyzation vs. Lupin

Paralyzation out.

Seung Mina IV (21) vs. Take Me Out vs. Psycho Killer 2

Flip them all out. Doesnt matter whos first.

Heat winner: Kali could beat me up again...or, at least, put up a fight better than the others.

Heat 4
Tengu VII (7) vs. Dervish: Generation X vs. Drum Boy

...Drum Boy? Right. It to get shredded instantly.

Revenge Of Black Death (23) vs. Star 69 vs. The May Tracks Has You

Star 69 out methinks.

Heat winner: Tengu

Heat 5
Wedginator Devilution (9) vs. DreamCatcher vs. Blue Sparks

Two Dans, one to attack. Blue Sparks be my target. Slide under that disc, get it to the wall, and stack. If DreamCatcher does decide to attack me, get at Blue Sparks rear end and shove its disc into DreamCatcher, but Id much prefer a team-up, Mr. Stickler. :wink:

Walk Don€™t Run 3 (25) vs. Disco 5 vs. Collateral Damage-er

CD out.

Heat winner: Disco

Heat 6
Cat With Wheels (11) vs. Bulldog Breed vs. Axetra

Axetra or Bulldog to go.

Super Gore Revo (27) vs. Requiem vs. Tip-Top

Danny Stickler AGAIN, huh? Well this time hes my target. That width seems lovely, as Ill get a nice grip around the drum. Ill use the clamping claws. Drag to pit immediately.

Heat winner: Probably the 11th seed.

Heat 7
Achilles (13) vs. Pussycat vs. Tornado Mer

Tornado Mer gone.

Merlin (29) vs. Quaestor III vs. The 6isc

The seed to get flipped, axed, disced, and pitted.

Heat winner: Hard to call between Achilles and The 6isc...mmm...The 6isc.

Heat 8
Envy (15) vs. Namie€™s Style vs. Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2

Okay...Envy is seeded. Right. Anyway, Chezza, lets team-up on whatever the hell that thing is and flip it OOTA.

E Clawdius Unum (31) vs. Y-Pout vs. Revolution 3

Uh...all I can say is that Clawdius is definitely through.

Heat winner: Namie or Clawdius, but probably Clawdius.

Heat 9
Killobite 5.0 (16) vs. Apocalypse vs. ISDSFA

Aw poot. Liam, lets give Frank as hard a time as we can, shall we?

Simply attack from the sides and/or rear, dig in, clamp, lift, and pit.

Chaos 2 (32) vs. Rammy Mk.3 vs. Pure Evil: Back To Basics

Rammy out.

Heat winner: Chaos 2 actually has a surprisingly good chance, but Ill give it to Pure Evil.

Heat 10
Wedge Devolution (14) vs. Noo Monsoon vs. Disc-O-Inferno

A flipper and rammer vs. a poor excuse for an EX1 annihilator winner. Bye Disc-O.

Bigger Brother (30) vs. X-Terminator vs. Tempest Evil-est-ution

I dont think Frank will give those two a chance to settle their grudge. Regardless, I see X-Terminator on its head shortly.

Heat winner: Ooh...I cant decide between Wedge or Tempest...

Heat 11
Turbo Tails (12) vs. Revenge Of The Zombie 2 vs. Bloody Mary

Ruarks bot out.

Death Wish 2 (2 vs. Robochicken vs. Sakura

Robochicken to be made ready for this years Thankgiving dinner.

Heat winner: If Turbo Tails makes it to the Heat Final, hell be lucky, but I say Sakura to beat him anyway.

Heat 12
Sithis (10) vs. Secret vs. Warrior SKF

Warrior SKF through...dunno who to join him.

Firestorm V (26) vs. No Exceptions vs. Panicking Still

Panicking out.

Heat winner: Firestorm or Warrior. None of the vapours IMO can get past these two.

Heat 13
Big Nipper ( vs. Onslaught vs. Dolce

Uh...Onslaught to get the axe. Literally.

Black Panther (24) vs. Spin Dash Unleashed vs. Granny€™s Revenge

Do I even need to?

Heat winner: Spin Dash, Id say.

Heat 14
Killotine: EVO (6) vs. Crimson Thunder vs. Tira IV

As much as I want to kill Killotine...I will. Crimson Thunder seems too strong to attack anyway. Team up, Mr. Bailey?

Panic Attack 24K (22) vs. LockJaw Epidemic vs. Eye Of Ran

Poor Panic Attack to go out. :sad:

Heat winner: Killotine

Heat 15
Storm 2 (4) vs. Extravagant vs. Mega Hurtz L.T

Mega Hurtz to feel the hurtz. *groan* :P

Shrederator (20) vs. Slammer VI vs. Nidhogg

Am I gonna be teamed up on? Attack Slammer. Those wheels look tasty, and a hit on the body armour doesnt seem so bad either.

Heat winner: Uh...Storm.

Heat 16
Phoenix Down (2) vs. Masamune vs. Do Or Die

Masamune to be put to the sword.

Whirligig 4.5 (1 vs. Warrior vs. Thermidor II

What the...TWO Warriors?! Presuming this is the older Warrior, its going out. :P

Heat winner: Actually, Phoenix Down and Do Or Die could give Whirligig a good fight. Ill say Do Or Die though.

Now, lets see some good fights! :wink:

[team_britespark]

Tactics for Heat A:

Gabriel III (17) vs. Supreme vs. The Deer

Gladly accept a team up with Gabriel, using the rear kinetic flywheel to cause some damage to The Deer. Use axe if I can.

[pcbore]

Intriguer (1) vs. Leviathan vs. The Grudge

The Grudge out I think

Gabriel III (17) vs. Supreme vs. The Deer

...Probably The Deer to go out here.

Tactics as the fights come up.

[tacoman]

HEAT 1
Intriguer (1) vs. LEVIATHAN vs. The Grudge
Ahh hell, the champ. Considering Kody is going for The Grudge, I will too, and try to OOTA it.

The rest of my tactics will be up when needed, as always.
