Re: The Fighting Vapourbots Association League 2 - A fresh start

At the moment it looks like me, Kody, Andy, Steve, Jack and Martijn wish to write.

Here's the lineup - writers, feel free to bagsy any fights you wish to write (maximum of two per person please):

Gabriel V vs. B.I.A.C.S.-I.S
Dervish: The 1337 Generation vs. Mornington Crescent
E Clawdius Unum vs. Gehenna - Joey
Under Pressure vs. Jinx
Shovearound 3 vs. Back To Rock III
CroOkED eVo vs. Assegai
N³ vs. Axeon 4.0
O.I.D. vs. G.B.O.D.
Skullcrusher vs. Lethal Weapon
Black Panther vs. Seung Mina VI
The Kill Point vs. Monsoon Season
Holepunch 2.0 vs. Darkestar - Joey

Please be fair and impartial in your writing, and don't do your own fights

EDIT: Steve has just informed me we forgot about arenas.

So...uh...well...we'll get back to you on that tomorrow-ish, until then don't write the fights :P

Re: The Fighting Vapourbots Association League 2 - A fresh start

I'd quite like Black Panther vs. Seung Mina VI and O.I.D. vs. G.B.O.D. if everyone is fine with that.

Re: The Fighting Vapourbots Association League 2 - A fresh start

Skullcrusher vs. Lethal Weapon and The Kill Point vs. Monsoon Season please

[steven_mcg]

Re: The Fighting Vapourbots Association League 2 - A fresh start

Ouch, helluva draw. Tictacs up later once you figure out what arena you'll actually be using. :wink:

I'm quite intrigued by BIACS-is VS Gabriel and Jinx VS Under Pressure myself. Mind if I have a bash at writing those, lads?

Re: The Fighting Vapourbots Association League 2 - A fresh start

Sounds good!

Whiplash and Theseus for me please.

Theseus

Weight: 100kg
Shape: Atomic (Series 7 Version)
Colour: Unpainted, but the weapon is blue
Dimensions: 100 X 79 X 36
Power: 2 X LEM-130's @ 36v powered by several NiCad's
Wheels: 4 X Aluminium Tyres with Urethane rubber for more grip
Armour: 4mm Hardox Moncoque
GC: 5mm Everywhere Except for the front, which is 0mm
Speed: 19mph
Weapon: Mainly relies on pushing power, but there IS an extremely powerful Atomic-like flipper, also made completely of 4mm Hardox, powered by 2 X 2kg CO2 Tanks. It can flip 1000kg with ease and it can also self-right the robot as well.
Strengths: Powerful Flipper, Great Pusher, Always Reliable
Weaknesses: Limited to 38 flips
Notes: Possibly the first time I built a NON-SPINNER?

Whiplash

Weight: 100kg
Body Shape: Pentagonal Pyramid with skirts
Dimensions: 100 X 85 X 38
Power: 2 X LEM-130's at 36v powered by 4 X Nicads
Tyres: 4 X Asmaprene Urethane Rubber Tyres
Speed: 15 mph
Armour: 4mm Hardox
Ground Clearence: 0mm with skirts, and 5mm without skirts
Weapon 1: SHEER PUSHING POWER
Weapon 2: At the front there is a 7kg Terrorhurtz-Like BattleAxe (made out of hardox, even the handle) powered by 2 X 2kg CO2 Tanks, 200 PSI, diamond tipped, has over 1500 joules of force when it comes down. It can also attack from both ends. Heavily Shock-Proofed, as well.
Srimech: The axe can easily self-right it (even when it's on its side), and it can also self-right even after the axe has fired, ala Killerhurtz.
Strengths: PSYCHOTIC AXE AND PUSHING POWER
Weaknesses: NONE AT ALL! (Except for Limited Co2)

Never mind.

Anyway, predictions:

Gabriel V vs. B.I.A.C.S.-I.S - Probably Gabriel.
Dervish: The 1337 Generation vs. Mornington Crescent - MC will win here, probably.
E Clawdius Unum vs. Gehenna - Razer showed great power in its match against Firestorm, so I think Clawdius ftw.
Under Pressure vs. Jinx - Under Pressure will probably pull a TAN and pit Jinx.
Shovearound 3 vs. Back To Rock 3 - Haven't a clue.
CroOkED eVo vs. Assegai - Crooked Evo FTW.
N³ vs. Axeon 4.0 - A repeat of Razer VS Terrorhurtz. N³ FTW.
O.I.D. vs. G.B.O.D. - GBOD ftw.
Skullcrusher vs. Lethal Weapon - Lethal Weapon ftw.
Black Panther vs. Seung Mina VI - Flipper vs axe... very one sided here, but I'll go for the Flippability factor of Seung Mina.
The Kill Point vs. Monsoon Season - Monsoon Season will win here.
Holepunch 2.0 vs. Darkestar - Holepunch ftw.

i'd like to write N³ VS Axeon and Dervish vs Mornington Crescent, if its ok with u guys.

Good luck to all.

Re: The Fighting Vapourbots Association League 2 - A fresh start

I'd like to write the 2 remaining battles, Shovearound 3 vs. Back To Rock III and CroOkED eVo vs. Assegai, if everyone is fine with that

[eene]

Re: The Fighting Vapourbots Association League 2 - A fresh start

Joey, I'm using my newest versions of TKP and Skullcrusher. If the ones on the old FVAL are not good, I'll take the old versions then

As for tactics, I'll try and push Monsoon Season into the pit and hit Lethal Weapon with the spinning ring until it breaks

[joey_picus]

Re: The Fighting Vapourbots Association League 2 - A fresh start

Sam, I'll have to check but I think you need to have entered the tourney to be able to write battles, sorry

[eene]

Re: The Fighting Vapourbots Association League 2 - A fresh start

Just realised the old FVAL 2 thread has been destroyed, so I'll give you the new stats if you don't have them

No writing your own fights, Marti. :wink:

Re: The Fighting Vapourbots Association League 2 - A fresh start

Hi all.

I just returned from Germany where I couldn't log in, but Kody has already confirmed I will be attending. I would also like to write one of the battles. Only thing is I just have time to wash my clothes and do some forum reading and in 2 days time I will be on a plane again to Thailand for a week of work. I would like to start the writing after that so I can focus on the task at hand if that is all right.

Re: The Fighting Vapourbots Association League 2 - A fresh start

Well, while I missed out, it's time for predictions!!!

Gabriel V vs. B.I.A.C.S.-I.S

Gabriel V to finally put an end to Bull in a China Shop.

Dervish: The 1337 Generation vs. Mornington Crescent

I actually see Mornington Crescent willing this battle, since its twin rings should survive Dervish

E Clawdius Unum vs. Gehenna

The revised SOR to kill the freshening of Clawdius Decimus Murderous.

Under Pressure vs. Jinx

Under Pressure to crush the new girl.

Shovearound 3 vs. Back To Rock III

Shovearound 3 doesn't have stats yet. The champ to go through.

CroOkED eVo vs. Assegai

Assegai to kill the revision of CrOoKeD.

N3 vs. Axeon 4.0

N3 to crush the new bot.

O.I.D. vs. G.B.O.D.

OID to somehow survive a judges' decision.

Skullcrusher Evo vs. Lethal Weapon

I actually see the new design eliminating Lethal Weapon.

Black Panther vs. Seung Mina VI

SMVI to remove the Panther from power.

The Kill Point II vs. Monsoon Season

Monsoon to pit The Kill Point II.

Holepunch 2.0 vs. Darkestar

Darkestar to somehow pit Holepunch.

I was wondering if someone'd notice, you passed my little test real well mr. McGregor

ok, I can write CroOkED eVo vs. Assegai but if you guys want me to write 2 matches we will have to do some swapping around, or I just write 1 match and a currently jobless writer takes Shovearound 3 vs Back To Rock III

[team_orr]

Re: The Fighting Vapourbots Association League 2 - A fresh start
