ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

Liar 2 vs Lethal Weapon

Classic Robot Wars Arena? lets throw that machine over the wall!!! Liar 2 packs plenty of flipping power and a superior speed to Lethal Weapon, as well as 2 wheel drive that allows me to be more agile, I'm gonna use all of that to avoid being hit by his disc, and to get my own weapon in. He may have (tivandium?) skirts, but I have a big thin wedge that is scraping along the ground and that is brought to the ground by the mass of almost my entire robot, which means I should be able to get under his skirts I think... Id rather get under his skirts than under his disc anyhow so that will be what I will do. When under, take him to the wall, and flip. With some luck I will score an OOTA straight away, with less luck his disc will bounce off the wall and he will be damaging himself as well as the wall. Repeat this really, while at the same time dodging that disc.

Good luck Tony!

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

lol, good. I'm quickly out of a tournament that's already utter fail. I'm not even going to begin to point out the dozens of fails in your fights, I'll let Joey do that though if he's willing. :P

And Jack, I dunno why you're saying his fights are getting better. They're...really not. :P

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

i think its revenge on you for (as most people put it) a lazy way of getting minesweeper 1.1 out

so can you shut up with this arguement as im getting a bit sick of it

please just learn to get along with him kody, im sure you have your reasons and he has his

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

*Sighs* Security, we have a Code D(Ko-dy :P ) situation.

*Security takes Kody out of the building*

Well, I guess this rivalry will never end. Add that to the fact that both Heretic and Starfighter have made it to the Crazy Bots featherweight finals, and this only intensifies the rivalry.

But anyways, I'll need tactics for round 2 in by Jan. 11, 2010, 11.59pm.

And no, it's not revenge. Truth or Consequences isn't a wedge, and therefore was able to not get impaled on your side spike. Also, I'm not going to assume that everyone's a perfect driver, and therefore, you accidentally drove down the pit.

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

Sorry, but I've held back for long enough. Since Joey does not wish to get involved in these kinds of debates any longer I'll have to step into his place. And I don't like to. Joey is better at these kinds of arguments than I am. :P Anyway...I've had enough of Mark's fail and Lian's constant defending of it.

*rant mode*

I hope you realize that I don't care about going out much, it's when the fight is fail and unrealistic that I have to say something. And it wasn't just mine. All four fights were fail, no matter who won or lost.

Let's just use the first fight as an example:

----

Fail 1: Mina gets over to the side of Cupid, immediately flipping it into the air, and stopping that disc from spinning up. And how exactly did Mina flip Cupid if Mina didn't get under Cupid? And how would that immediately stop a disc? Cupid should have gotten away easily.

Fail 2: Shane's got a small chunk of titanium missing from the front of Mina's flipper? Titanium's behaviorisms aren't like that. It's very hard to carve into titanium, let alone tear chunks of it out. Even with a powerful spinner like Megabyte.

Half-fail 1: But nothing seems to *phase* her, as she once again *get's* under and flips Cupid. Not counting that as a full fail but that's over-emphasis right there. :P

Fail 3: And after all that money Mentorn paid to fix that wall in the Storm II vs Typhoon 2 fight, they'll have to pay even more, as Cupid's disc shatters the wall. You can't shatter an entire wall, at best you can take out one of the many wall panels like Typhoon 2 did. Be more descriptive.

Fail 4: Since this is a written-out FRA fight, to make it fair, we'll use the ARC judging system. And exactly how is that fair? And besides how can you judge an FRA fight using an ARC scorecard? It doesn't make sense.

----

Shall I go on? :P

And Lian, if you knew the kinds of battles we've written and fail ones we've all barked at in the past, and if you knew how much we've tried to give Mark advice and watch it be ignored, you'd know exactly why we think poorly of Mark's fights and argue. You're sick of the argument? Well we're sick of his fail fights. So please stop defending him from what he deserves. :P

*end rant mode...for now*

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

Heck, you might as well. I guess I have some editing to do...

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

hey kody i dont constanly defend him, this is only the 2nd time

and if you want to argue, take it to pms please, as i dont want to read these arguements :P

i did have one problem with marks battle when i was fighting with druid, where it went out of control, but i didnt
complain cos

1) the bot was a bit crap anyways *heads for the virtual workshop for improvements*
and 2) i lost to a great newcomer in all bar one :P

*turns slighty anrgy mode off turns smiley face on*

glad i got that off my chest :P

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

ok sorry shane

just a bit angry thats all, wont happen again

Well that's tough luck for you right there; while the post was directed at Mark, it's supposed to be there for EVERYONE to see. If you don't want to read it, scroll by it. :P

Forgot to mention...like I said on ARC (before that post got deleted for some reason ), I have no issue with Mark personally at all. My only beef (and several others) with him is his ability, or lack thereof, to create bots/tournaments and ignore/not recognize advice. That is all.

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

ok i understand that kody

from now on ill stay out of these arguements as i dont want to hate figure no.1 :P

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

yay I won :P

As for round 2, against Cupid I will use the pneumatic claws again and go for similar tactics used against Feedback. Ram in there, clamp quickly and pit. I should have far more control and traction, the main issue is stopping the disc. If I can clamp him side on I may never have to, but I if I do have to take a hit to stop his disc I'll hit him with the rear of Compression to protect the wedge and claws. I won't let him get back up to speed after that hit and will try to end the match quickly . Good luck Chris!

As for the argument, I don't really want to get involved but in future Mark I would avoid having someone eliminated by driving into the pit not saying this is the only problem with the battles but hey, we all entered this tournament of free will and I'm not complaining (probably cos I won but whatever ) This is a site I visit to have a bit of fun and I hate to see it bogged down by arguments, especially in an active and interesting tournament like this one. Not saying the battles are top class, but at the end of the day this is Fanfic and to me anyone who has a go at writing battles and/or entering robots is helping out

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

Truth or Consequences vs Liar 2

I am faster than he is and accelerate quicker, and I have 2 wheels, he has 6, so I turn around alot quicker too

which means I can get under him with ease, and he will have more trouble getting under me since I can outrun him and out-turn him, be quick, be agile, do not give him an oppurtunity to get under me, I will try to get under him, flip him, either on his back where he will be helpless until he self righted, or OOTA where... you know... I can claim victory

if he flips me I am far from helpless as Im invertible AND can selfright, thats another advantage, dont open the pit...
