Dr. Acula vs. Namies Style

The weaponry on Dr. Acula is impressive, but I dont think itll be able to deal with Namies Style. Namies Style for the OOTA, pitting, or JD.

The Alexandra Sisters vs. Nitro-Gene 4.0

Im going to take a risk, and go at Nitro-Genes flipper to defeat that 3cm blade under it. Sophitia seems best at doing this so send her in first and try to tackle that flipper: its okay if she drives up onto it, as then she can ride overtop of Nitro-Gene. I dont see anything in Nitro-Genes stats about something at the top to stop wedges riding over it. :wink: Cassandra will tackle the sides and try to get under the skirts. Due to having better maneouvrability and control, this shouldnt be mucu of a problem.

Main tactics: PIT!

Good luck Paul.

Question: Do all you guys prefer writing 4+way melees? I do, as its much easier to make the fights a decent length.
Im gonna have to try hard with the next 4 fights of this so that the quality doesnt dip...

Given Nitro-Genes box-wedge shape with a 42* hindged front wedge, I didnt see the need to place a speed bump on the top as:

1) It may have interfered with self-rightinig
2) It would look odd.

Talking of Nitro-Gene, hows my picture coming along?

This is a message to Matty Folwer - will you please send in your stats to the MN2 series so Martijn can continue writing.

Badly. :sad: Not in quality, but in time management. Ive been tight these last few days, hardly getting any comp. time. Rest assured, I have some now.

One CAD, coming right up! :wink:

And please, dont bug Matty. If Martijn wants to continue, he will take Riptile 2s stats (which are on the Mattyhakaland forums IIRC)

Semi-Final 1/2:
Dr. Acula v Namie€™s Style

Mr. Jamie McHarg is the owner of real life featherweights Drumroll and Kaiser; he has had three vapour fights so far and won them all! His other heavyweight vapours are Firefly and Drumroll Snr., Firefly has already fought in Kody€™s Dual Duels and was victorious (partnered with my very own System Shock).

Namie€™s Style is a far less original design, but that€™s intentional for it€™s supposed to be a good all-rounder. Both of these robots did well in round one, but only one of them can make it to the grand final- which will it be?

Booth 1: Jamie McHarg
Booth 2: Chezza

3...

ACTIVATE!

If memory serves all the predictions made for this fight have gone in favour of Namie€™s Style, will their thoughts become reality or will Dr. Acula perform an autopsy? Well, after this first attack from Namie€™s Style the predictors will be cheering anyway, as Chezza zooms in and flips Dr. Acula from the side, throwing Jamie€™s robot onto its back! Dr. Acula is invertible, but the weapon is ineffective when upside down so Jamie had better hope Chezza is in the mood to flip him back up! Dr. Acula goes on the attack to try and push Chezza, but Namie€™s Style packs more power and forces Dr. Acula up against the angle grinder, getting underneath again and throwing Dr. Acula over again! Jamie quickly gets out of there and lines up an attack on Chezza, getting underneath the corner of the skirts and bringing those claws into play, getting a firm grip on Chezza€™s wedge! Jamie drives over to the pit release button and opens the chasm, but Namie€™s Style uses its flipper and escapes Acula€™s clutches! Chezza heads away from the pit and then turns to face the approaching Dr. Acula, once again getting that flipping arm in underneath Jamie and flipping Dr. Acula up and over! And now he continues to push the doctor across the arena floor and into the corner, he€™s underneath and tries to flip Dr. Acula OOTA! But Jamie wasn€™t positioned well enough on the wedge and merely smacks into the rails before crashing down into the arena! And now Dr. Acula comes back on the attack again, getting those claws into play and grasping the flipping arm of Namie€™s Style! And this attack could turn the battle around, as Jamie rams Chezza across the arena and into the arena wall!
CRASH!
That didn€™t sound too good! Chezza has just learnt that it isn€™t a good idea to find yourself on Dr. Acula€™s wedge with your weapon in his grasp and that the fact you are hurtling towards the arena wall isn€™t brilliant either. And now Namie€™s Style seems to be in real trouble, as gas is venting from the flipper! It seems that the crash as ruptured Namie€™s co2 supply, and there goes the weapon power! Jamie grins and keeps a hold on Namie, dragging it over to the flame pit and toasting it. But now, finally the claw lose their grip and Namie€™s Style escapes, but is pursued by Dr. Acula, who gets those infamous claws around the rear and drags Namie€™s Style towards the pit!
PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT!
The crowd want to see the end of Namie€™s Style, and Jamie does too, so he keeps holding on tight and takes Chezza€™s damaged machine over to the pit of oblivion! He turns and holds Namie€™s Style over the drop, contemplates for a moment the consequences this move could hold- a place in the finals!
Jamie just doesn€™t waste anymore time thinking about it and loosens the grip on the claws so that Namie€™s Style slides slowly, but surely down that wedge and into the pit in a puff of smoke!

CEASE!

Namie€™s Style exits in a puff of smoke, Dr. Acula proves the bookies wrong and goes through to the final!

Coming Next:
The Alexandra Sisters v Nitro-Gene 4.0

Woop woop!

Sorry for not posting any tactics for that battle (although it seems Dr. Acula got on fine without them :P)
Been trying to get my study brain engaged over the past couple of days and completely forgot tictacs - will make sure Ive got them for next time!

Trust me to screw up royally. Sorry about hijacking your thread, Liam. :sad:

Paul, somehow, the 3D drawing program (Rhino3D) isnt working. (I get an error every time I try to open it, and it closes immediately after) This has happened very suddenly, and Im trying to find a solution to get it working again. I have quite a bit of Nitro-Gene 4.0 CADed, all thats left is the flipper, the colouring, and a texture of the robots name to put on the flipper. This is just to keep you up-to-date on progress.

Hopefully I will get this problem sorted out over the next few days.

He does tend to strike a bad nerve with most of the people here, indeed...

But anyway...
