Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1 vs The Disc 4

...who knows? :P

[velociraptor]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

An interesting pair of battles making up our All Stars semi finals. First, the battle of the box wedges - Manic Monsoon and SOR 4.0!

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Manic Monsoon came towards SOR 4.0 at a quicker rate than vice versa, but SOR 4.0 turned to try and hit the side, so MM went past it and glanced the rear blade! It was knocked off course, but got back on track before SOR 4.0 could attack with its flipper - reversing as SOR 4.0 went for the side, it was able to get under SOR 4.0 instead! With a little bit of twisting, it got SOR 4.0s rear blade facing away from it, and proceeded to run into the wall! The blade impacting the wall sent SOR 4.0 flying, and left a scratch on the wall! Landing on the floor, SOR 4.0 saw MM coming for it again and tried turning away, but still got knocked as it did so! MM skidded around, but ended up getting a faceful of blade! It was knocked off again, but as SOR 4.0 tried to attack again, MM turned and went under the side again! A moment later, SOR 4.0s blade hit the wall at 28mph again - MM reversed after it as it flew away, but it missed SOR 4.0 as it landed! This didnt matter much, as it could just come in front first and get under again! It took some careful manouvering, but it got the blade facing away again, and a third charge into the wall followed!
As SOR 4.0 flew off Manic Monsoon again, and the rammer began another fast approach, SOR 4.0 just managed to twist away from a direct ram, but it still took a little knock! It went to get under the unskirted rear, but MM was too quick, running to a safe distance and coming in again! SOR 4.0 turned to use its blade to knock it off course - MM successfully skidded away from the threat, and again, got its wedge under SOR 4.0 as it turned to bring the blade back into play! The fourth charge into the wall had a similar effect to the others, and now SOR 4.0s battered blade seemed to be running a little slower! As MM reversed after the flying SOR 4.0, it hit it with its rear as it landed - however, this was the perfect oppotunity for SOR 4.0 to move a little and fire its flipping arm! It wasnt a direct flip, so it only tipped MM up, but SOR 4.0 was able to get under, run MM into the wall and flip it again! It took the oppotunity to cause some damage, but the slightly damaged blade didnt do much to the Hardox armour! MM used its lifting arm to get itself off the wall, but it just plopped down onto SOR 4.0s body! With Manic Monsoon as its prisoner again, SOR 4.0 tried to do more damage by flipping it into the arena disc! The disc certainly left a scratch, but it also sent MM skimming to a safe distance, where it could run away from SOR 4.0 and rush back in! Barely avoiding brushing the blade, it brought its wedge under SOR 4.0 again - not wanting to risk being caught again, it rushed its opponent into the pit release! This made SOR 4.0 skim a little again, but not far enough, as it was propped on MMs side! Manic Monsoon caught it on the wedge again, and delivered it to the open pit!
CEASE!

MANIC MONSOON GOES THROUGH TO THE ALL STARS FINAL!

Now the battle of the big deadly spinners that were once champs - Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1 and The Disc 4!

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1 began moving to the arena centre, while The Disc 4 froze for a second to begin spinning, before coming to greet it! The audience watched with anticipation as the two mighty weapons met! The Disc 4 was sent to one side, its right wheel hub striking MDU 3.1 as it went! Meanwhile, the upward force of the disc tipped MDU 3.1, which struck the floor and began bouncing out of control in a Mauler dance! It made its way chaotically towards the arena wall, and bashed against it, making the arena shudder and skimming away, eventually stabilising with its spinner slowed! Meanwhile, The Disc 4s wheel hub had been dented and ripped, and there was a dent in the disc! There was a pause, then both robots began moving, and their weapons working! Spinning at maximum speed, they came together again with a crash! The result was similar, with MDU 3.1 doing another violent Mauler dance until it reached the wall and bounced off! But The Disc 4 was unable to take advantage, for it had been spun headfirst into the west wall and bounced backwards, doing a brief Mauler dance itself! The hit had torn the right wheel hub (probably would have taken it off if it hadnt been attached to a Hardox axle) and bent the metal so the right wheels were propped off the floor! The Disc 4 could still turn on its left wheels, but slowly thanks to the resistance of the right! MDU 3.1 proved still mobile, thanks to its internal reinforcements, and was able to strafe around the weakened Disc 4 to get in a good hit on the left hub, without taking a blow from the disc itself! The Disc 4 went flying and tumbling again, the titanium of its left hub now bent against the wheels, leaving it incapable of doing much at all! MDU 3.1 came in again, and this time The Disc 4 went into the wall again after the hit, making the arena shake again! It shuddered its way away from MDU 3.1 before stabilising, and this time its battered wheel hubs had left its wheels off the floor or compressed against their metal and unable to work! Apart from its still spinning disc, The Disc 4 was immobile, and Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1 had proved the more destructive!
CEASE!

MASS DISCTRUCTION ULTIMATE 3.1 GOES THROUGH TO THE ALL STARS FINAL!

All Stars Final:
Manic Monsoon vs Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

eep... :sad:

The only thing I can do in this situation is box rush it, and try to do what Forcepower did in PTT4. I highly doubt Ill win this, as MDU is the true All-Star by winning 3 VFT tourns.

[pcbore]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

I dont think MDU would do a Mauler dance. Translational spinners cant spin if their wheels are off the floor, so as soon as it was tipped up, it would stop spinning. Other than that (minor) note, good fight

[knightrous]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

That wasnt suppose to happen....

Tactic.... spin into the pit and do as much damage to the arena as possible

[velociraptor]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

I dont want to sound stupid, Aaron, but youre not being serious, are you? You are supposed to fight your opponent in this event, unless youre having a go at the House Robots, and I currently dont have any (although that may change in VFT7). My arenas pretty tough, anyway.

[team_britespark]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Meh, Im not complaining!

[knightrous]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Me, being serious, what do you mean

Real Tactics:

Same tactics as Storm 2. Try to attack any edges of panels, tearing some off hopefully. Keep dodging any attacks directly and keep hitting MM as much as possible. Use the full extent of the drive ratios as much as possible. Lock it down in 500rpm mode when things get tight and open it up to overdrive when I have the chance to do more damage.

Stick Death anyone?

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Surely we have a worthy All Stars Final on our hands - the super powerful Manic Monsoon, and the super destructive Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1!

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Manic Monsoon came accelerating straight at Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1, who responded by strafing out of its path, causing MM to almost run into the wall! This was the perfect oppotunity for MDU 3.1 to come back in and whack MM on the rear, spinning it around! MDU 3.1 came after MM, who recovered quickly and ran hard into MDU 3.1 before it could strafe away - but MM still came off worse, getting spun into the wall while MDU 3.1 quickly spun up again and hit it on the curved rear! With MDU 3.1 near the wall again, MM tried to knock it against it, but MDU 3.1 stafed again - however, MM escaped before it could be hit again! MDU 3.1 began moving away from the wall, then performed another strafe when MM rushed back in, but the two still made contact, MM spinning off course again! It reversed towards MDU 3.1 now, and managed to make contact despite the spinner strafing again, but its side Hardox took damage and it did little to MDU 3.1! Dodging MDU 3.1s next assault, MM charged - and completely missed thanks to another strafe! Backing up, it hit MDU 3.1 with its rear again, but the Hardox there was taking a battering!
Spun around by the impact again, Manic Monsoon was able to run into Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1 head on before it could strafe away - both robots flew away from the contact, MM taking a scratch again and MDU 3.1 quickly able to spin up! MM manouvered around MDU 3.1, trying to get into a position where it could knock it against the wall, but MDU 3.1 took advantage by moving in to attack, and MM had to dodge! Once it had, however, it charged and caught MDU 3.1 off guard, using its lifting arm to tilt it a little as they met! MDU 3.1s rear hit the floor and it bounced, but quickly stabilised, while MM was left with a unsightly scar in its arm! The two robots moved towards each other at speed again, then MDU 3.1 strafed again, but it still got a knock that hit MM on the side of its wedge! As MDU 3.1 moved in on its victim, MM backed up quickly again, then turned and charged - MDU 3.1 strafed and it missed, but MDU 3.1 certainly didnt miss when it hit MM on the rear again, causing a crack between panels there! MM spun around and almost hit the wall again - MDU 3.1 closed in, but MM recovered quickly enough to move away then back up and try to ram MDU 3.1 against the wall! MDU 3.1 strafed, but MM still made contact - however, the direction of the spin meant MDU 3.1 skimmed away from the wall, and it was MM who was slammed against it, with the gap in its rear panels widened and little shards flying! Turned around the right way, MM charged at MDU 3.1, but ended up getting struck on the side and knocked off course again!
Before Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1 could have another go at the damage caused to Manic Monsoons rear, the VFT5 bronze medallist successfully dodged and rammed it head on again, using its arm to try and tip it over! MDU 3.1 was successfully tipped and did some bouncing against the floor again, leaving ugly dents, but MM was spun away again - this time, its arm had been knocked out and couldnt be retracted! Trying to take advantage of MDU 3.1s predicament, it reversed into it with its less damaged rear side, but MDU was still spinning and the rammer was knocked away again! MDU 3.1 quickly got spinning faster as it stabilised and MM hit it head on again, its dead arm taking the blow but not doing much to the twice VFT champ! MDU 3.1 aimed to strike the rear wound again, but MM again outran it, before turning around and charging - and getting painfully deflected again, towards the arena disc! As MDU 3.1 moved in again, Manic Monsoon ran around it, aiming to knock it against the wall or disc - it just missed taking a blow from MDU in the process, had to swerve, and then attack head on! But they were too far from the wall for MDU 3.1 to hit it - instead, MM was flung into it, hard! It was stunned for a moment, allowing MDU 3.1 to rush in, getting in a hit on the wedge edge and mercilessly sending MM back against the wall! Now MDU 3.1 could hit the rear gouge again, widening it even more, but Manic Monsoon was still functioning! Finally not hitting the wall as it flew away, it backed up and came in at full speed, but MDU 3.1 had moved enough so that when they met, it didnt go bang into the wall! Again almost greeting the wall itself, Manic Monsoon successfully dodged MDU 3.1 - as it had another go at getting it into the wall, MDU 3.1 strafed but was still knocked! However, it escaped again, and flung MM against the wall again, and was able to have another go at the rear injury! On this hit, the force knocked out the rear right wheel and damaged the wheel belt, leaving MM less fast and manouverable once it had stopped flying away! As MDU 3.1 closed in for another hit, the clock struck zero and the judges began judging!
CEASE!

Aggression: MDU 3.1 - 6, MM - 4 (MDU was more aggressive)
Damage: MDU 3.1 - 10, MM - 0 (MDU caused all the damage in this fight)
Strategy: MDU 3.1 - 7, MM - 3 (both robots had some strategy - MDU to go for panels, MM to tilt MDU with its arm and run it into walls - but MDU was much more successful)
Control: MDU 3.1 - 6, MM - 4 (MDU was more controlled)
Style: MDU 3.1 - 7, MM - 3 (MDU spinning MM away was more stylish than MMs ramming)
Dominance: MDU 3.1 - 7, MM - 3 (both robots were attacking, but MM came off worse from most hits and was badly damaged at the end)
Final Score: MDU 3.1 - 43, Manic Monsoon - 17

MASS DISCTRUCTION ULTIMATE 3.1 WINS THE VFT6 ALL STARS!

Next time on VFT6, we finally reach the VFT6 Grand Final! Lets remind ourselves what the battles are:
NSBFR-X (10) vs Storm 2
Hypertension Mk2 (24) vs Wedge Devolution (27)

[pcbore]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

I shall be using the spinning bar here, seeing I need to stay invertible. Storm 2 wont be able to breach my skirts seeing the wedge isnt quite 0 MM, and if the bar is spinning, he wont be able to get under the front due to being spun away. Thats assuming the front is facing me though, Ill be going for the sides where the armour is quite a bit weaker. If the bar gets stalled, I have the acceleration to keep away from him while I spin it up again.

GRAND FINAL
ELIMINATORS
1) N.S.B.F.R. X (10) Vs Storm 2
This could be very close indeed, but I think Franky could scrape a JD on Damage

2) Hypertension Mk 2 (24) VS WEDGE DEVOLUTION (27)
Oh great. You again.

To be honest, theres not much of a plan here. The main aim is to keep to the sides (hopefully possible with my greater control), scrape the spatula under those skirts and simply ram it into the Pit or any possible obstacle I can find!

Ill only flip if Im in an ideal position to do so, due to my limited CO2. Hypertension can trundle along inverted if it runs out, but not me. Use only for self-righting or an offensive toss if Im in the right place at the right time.

See you in the Play-Off.

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Storm 2s Tactics:
Keep attacking using my front, and avoiding the spinner. When I get under it, keep pushing it around, and then pit it when I first get that chance, I should be able to get the chance to pit it here.
