FRFFT: Series One

Sigh...I did not like that fight, and I am going to give you several reasons why I did not like that fight:

1. Robots really do not acquire such monstrous damage within those amount of hits, unless its something of MDU standard. And Hazard definitely isnt.

2. Once again, you lack large amounts of detail in your fights, crucial parts.

3. STOP HAVING BOTS CATCH FIRE ALMOST EVERY FIGHT.

4. Xianghua II runs off four S28-400 motors. NiCads arent motors. :P

I think a rewrite is merited this time around. If not, count me out of any tournaments you will open. Sorry if I sound like a jerk, but I stand fully by what I said.

...riight...now, someone correct me if Im wrong, but I have never seen Hazard actually mete out all that much damage in combat against real robots...so...why the sudden uber killing against the basic laws of physicsness here?

FRFFT: Series One

Very sorry to Kody AND Joey AND anyone else who has lost faith in me to type good fights. Feel free to comment on any errors in the rematch

3-2-1: Activate!

So this is a rematch from the first fight. Xianghua II wants to avoid that spinning tool bar of Hazard, because weve seen the damage it has done already! Kody, being very wary, and now he drives forward for the kill! OUCH! Xianghua II is spun to one side, theres a small gash in the wedge! Hazard gets up to full speed again and backs off for another impact, but...whats this? Kody has activated the lifter and RAMS Hazard head on! This time, both robots are knocked off the ground slightly. There is another gash, this time in the lifter! Xianghua II backs away, but what can it do. Hazard spins back up after every impact. Kody takes another chance and charges forth again...OW! Now the lifter is bent and there is an even massive TEAR growing from the first impact upon it. Hazard impressive so far. Another bash! Xianghua II runs away and presses the pit release button, but Hazard follows...and Xianghua II SPUN and SMACKED into the wall! HA-HA...Hazard has smashed up the pit release button! Theres a tear in it. This looks like it is going to the judges. Xianghua II still has the lifter up and rams Hazard again! The lifter is looking limper with every hit on the front. Its good tactics by Kody to protect the interior of the robot, but is it good enough?

Cease!

The judges have counted up their marks. This is what the decision looks like.

Xianghua II

S: 2 C: 2 D: 1 A: 3 Total: 8

Hazard

S: 2 C: 3 D: 3 A: 2: 10

Hazard wins this battle! The trophy still goes to Dave! Well done to him AND Kody!

I was not and I repeat, NOT trying get any sympathy from anyone by having David win again. I imagined it in my head, as if it was a real fight, and based on what I know, wrote the following rewrite. If it is not up to anyones standards, please let me know as soon as possible

1. Avoid the front like the plague
2. Get under the rear or sides, Carry Drive to the wall
3. THROW IT OUT!!

[kodster]

FRFFT: Series One

Much better fight. But theres just one more error, and I should have made this clearer before the fight:

Xianghua II is like 10cm high, and Zion in Season 3 was, I think, higher than that. Hazards blade barely scraped Zions top armour. No major changes have been made to Hazard during Season 5, so I doubt Hazards blade can hit her, actually, unless she drive up onto the front wedge, and the wedge wouldnt be hit unless she raised it prematurely, which I stated I wouldnt do while Hazards blade was spinning. Meh.

Just another pointer, no offense meant.

Thank you, Kody. I trust all is forgiven now?

Not to be rude, but here is what I based the first version on:

Back to Hypno-Disc VS Raizer Blade VS Predator: When Hypno-Disc disembowled Predator, a battery came out. When Hypno-Disc smashed the battery (It landed next to RB in the next scene), there was smoke coming out of it. Thats where the fire came from

Thats all really

[kodster]

FRFFT: Series One

Meh, I just wont count this in my records, thats all.

And batteries do differ, not all of them catch fire instantly when hit, lol

Learn from your mistakes and youll do fine.

Thank you for that, Kody

Welcome back to FRFFT: Series One: The Grand Final! Last time, a controversial battle led to Hazard winning the Middleweight Competition.

Next its the Superheavyweight Final

Drive, although it took a fair bit of damage from DYWR, managed to burn out its opponent and push it into oblivion! Joey has repaired the wedge for this battle

Ziggy threw Toro out of the arena. Samuel says he wants to avoid the front of Drive. Not being biased, but it has a good chance of winning

3-2-1: Activate!

Ziggys performance had robots shaking in their boots, will it have the same...no, maybe not as Drive skates around to the back and pushes Ziggy against the wall! Ziggy escapes and FLIPS Drive over! Drive is invertible, but it was thrown a fair height there! Did the landing...no, its OK and trying to come in from the side of Ziggy. Saumel turns away and misses the flip! Wasted Co2 there! Drive underneath the back again and pushes Ziggy across the arena. Look at this from Drive! Ziggy is trying to fight back, but Drive has more traction and pushes Samuel into the Pit Release Button! Drive lets Ziggy go, but this allows Ziggy to spin around and TOSS Drive into the CPZ! It was almost out! Drive gets away and zooms into the centre of the arena. Ziggy pursues and gets under...OHHH! Drive thrown 2 1/2 feet into the air and bounces off the wall, crashing back to earth! I have not seen a flipper this powerful before! Drive is still intanct, but Joey knows he has a fight on his hands here. Charging forward again onto the flipper! Not good control...OHH! Drive thrown against the wall. The wheels are off the ground! Joey cant get away! Ziggy gets under...and OUT goes Drive! Samuel cant believe it! He is the winner of the Superheavyweight Competition in FRFFT! Comiserations to Joey, but he did very well to get this far! Well done, Ziggy!

Cease!

Drive comes to a halt!
Ziggy is the winner of the Superheavyweight Competition!

And now, the featherweight final, Little Hitter VS Deadly Lampshade!

Little Hitter immobilized one side of Skinks drive and pushed it into the pit!

Deadly Lampshade stripped OverDrive to almost nothing with its spinning shell! Daniel isnt too concerned about Martijns robot though.

3-2-1: Activate!

The shell of Deadly Lampshade once again gets up to full speed but Little Hitter zooms in and CRASHES into it! What a brave attack by Martijn! The axe of Little Hitter swings down. Deadly Lampshade is pinned against the angle grinder, but gets away. Little Hitter gives chase. This is a shocking start already! Deadly Lampshade on the backward step, but its up to speed now! Little Hitter swings back and forth with the axe, but Daniel comes in from the side...OUCH! Little Hitter spun away. A small tear in the side but nothing else! Deadly Lampshade comes in again...and THAT wasnt another tear! That was a direct hit and it has SPLIT right into the front armour. A gaping wound now. The impact has slowed the shell down a bit, and Little Hitter gets under with the front wedge and tries to push Daniel onto his side! Martijn has taken a beating, but hes back on top and OH I CANT BELIEVE IT! Deadly Lampshade is on its top! After a poor start, Daniel came back but it wasnt to be! This has to be the turnaround no-one ever expected! Martijn is happy. Little Hitter is damaged, but it doesnt matter! Refbot comes in to count Daniel out!
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!
Little Hitter pushes Deadly Lampshade onto the floor flipper! How far will it go...THAT FAR! Out of the arena! HA-HA!

Cease!

The blinds have closed on Deadly Lampshades career!
The winner of the Featherweight Final and the Featherweight Champion is Little Hitter!

Congratulations Martijn!

Next time, before the Heavyweight Final

The awards AND the Real Robot Side Event Final!

Much better fight. :-) But theres just one more error

What Kody meant to say was there is just one more error, that he didnt win

*wishes Dave had the drive of Elliot in during fights*

[joey_picus]

FRFFT: Series One

Hmm...so the anti wedge spikes did nothing then.

Meh, well done to whoever it was entered Ziggy for winning, and Im beginning to sense someone who likes realies a lot here. :P

[kodster]

FRFFT: Series One

Id rather lose in a well-written fight than lose in a badly-written fight, or rather than even winning a badly-written fight, Dave, so dont go there. :P

A few more errors in your battles (Joey mentioned that Drive has anti-wedge spikes), Elliot, but generally nothing worth complaining about.

Drillzillas tactics: Get round the sides and back of Envy, basically avoid the front and try to pit, if pit is not nearby smash into walls

Here is the FRFFT: Series One Awards! After counting up the nominations (If there were any, correct me if Im wrong), here they are!

The Best Designed Robot goes to a robot whose design helped it out in battle and stood up to the blows! Well, I cant say any robot survived without scrathes, but the award goes to THE HURTING by Joey McC. The weapon powering another weapon has rarely been used, but it was enough to give it the award! Well done, Joey!

The Best Engineered Robot is the robot that has the most unique way of attack, be it movement or weapons. It goes to FLING, by Daniel S. The spring powered flipper allows it to go down as far as it needs too and hurl robots around at its pleasure! Although it went out in the first round, the rare method of weapon gives it the win! Well done, Daniel!

The Sportsmanship Award doesnt go to a robot, but it goes to the PERSON who didnt complain about losing and was supportive to everyone. This award has to go to MARTIJN B! He hasnt posted one complaint on this thread. Let us all congratulate him!

The Most Original Entry goes to a robot that takes a simple design! DRIVE by Joey McC takes the normal ramming robot design and with EIGHT drive motors, was unstoppable in its first fight. Well deserved, Joey!

I wasnt being biased in these awards, I put some thought into it. If you think I WAS biased, please let me know quickly! Thank you

[joey_picus]

FRFFT: Series One

Firstly, thanks for the two awards, much appreciated that you think highly of my robots

And secondly...there have been things happening regarding Paul that I feel should be brought to peoples attention, best summed up here:

http://strickenone.proboards99.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=tivapours&thread=17 7&page=1http://strickenone.proboards99.com/i...tivapours&thre ad=177&page=1

Basically, Paul changed the stats of Nitro-Gene to his advantage, and correct me if Im wrong, but in my mind that falls under cheating. This isnt the first time its happened, and people will back me up on this, so...Paul, there better be a good explaination or an apology for this.

[eene]

FRFFT: Series One

Ill use the original Nitro-Gene 5.0 since its the only way well get through this fairly? Does everyone agree?
