Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

Thanks!

Not Another Pushover 3s Tactics:
Two fast machines here, but I think I have a slight advantage in speed, so I should be able to get to it with no problem. Get under Achilles and push it, attacking the underbelly/wheels with my blade to try and stop it from moving, get Achilles in the pit on the first chance that I get while pushing it around while keeping away from any weaponry.

Right, the thing connects to the other thing and both the things dont work anyway so theres no point in prohibiting their extra-curricular activities. I like the PTT, so Im posting tactictactics against Voltronic

Ill try to get around its sides, basically. Im not letting it open the Void, as it is a boring wedge, so I will use the odd shape to try to get under the side. Then I will pummel it to high heaven! It should be fun. Ill especially go for the wheel protectors and try to jam the wheels!

Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

Extremely pissed off tonight. Our Halloween disco got cancelled halfway through this evening at about 10pm. Some wanker threw a water bottle at the DJ, he refused to play, nobody owned up to it, EVERYONE was sent home about an hour ago (most of whom had to walk home in their costumes), our Christmas dance and Prom have been put into doubt and it took me nearly 30/40 minutes to get through to my house for a lift back.

Anyways, inbetween the fury, I bring thee fights written before I left. Woo. Ish.

ROUND 2
SEMI-FINAL 1
GLASGOW KISS Vs VOLTRONIC (11)

House Robots - The Taxman and Mr Hyde

3...2...1...
ACTIVATE!!!!!!!!!!

Off to the better start, Glasgow Kiss rockets across the arena, but dear old Voltronic dances away from danger with a swift twirl! Scotty turns his machine around irritatedly...only to spot our No.11 seed heading straight for the Void Activator! With falling down our infamous hole definately not high on Scotts To Do list, the Glesgae hard man charges up the warzone and manages to catch up with its rival as it approaches the corner! Smacking hard into the Battlebots side, the VFT6 Heat Finalist forces the more experienced robot off-course and sneaks around to its side! Finding it tricky to get underneath with the Americans low profile, Glasgow Kiss simply brings the axe down there and then, putting a happy dent in the shell before coming down a second time! This time using the hammer to keep a hold on his opponent, Scotty starts guiding Voltronic over to the nearest wall...but he hasnt counted on the Battlebots superior manouverability! With another twirl, our No.11 seed escapes the axes wrath for now and runs wedge-first into the Void Activator! Off goes our legendary siren again as the Yankee motors out the corner - just missing another ram from Glasgow Kiss in the process! Still hot on its metaphorical heels, though, Scott follows Stephen and Mattys competitor into the centre of the ring! Briefly, the duo engage in a little waltz, before Mr Anderson breaks up the dance by getting another blow on Voltronics lid! The axe swings back down a second time, but with some fancy manouevering, however, the ancient PTT veteran takes only a grazing blow before slipping around to the psychadelic pummelers side! Glasgow Kiss barely gets time to turn around and react when the wedge shunts its less experienced rival straight into the closest fence! With help from this collision, Voltronic is now well and truly underneath its Scotch foe and slowly begins raising it off the arena floor with that legendary lifter! As half of the VFT6 Heat Finalist is pulled into the air, the No.11 seed quickly makes its move! Readjusting itself so that its now underneath the Scott bots rear, our age-old veteran dashes down the arena and straight for the Void! Glasgow Kiss axe begins flailing around and manages to shake itself back onto the ground...just before Voltronic gives one last nudge and sends it plunging out of the competition!

CEASE!!!!!

Glasgow Kiss receives the Kiss of Death! Id stick to battering sausages over battering bots, Mr Anderson.
VOLTRONIC (11) GOES THROUGH TO ROUND 3!!!

ROUND 2
SEMI-FINAL 2
ACHILLES (22) Vs NOT ANOTHER PUSHOVER 3

House Robots - Scarlek and The Kaiser Chief

Roboteers stand by...
3...2...1...
ACTIVATE!!!!!!!!!!

Despite only having a small speed advantage, Not Another Pushover is immediately out of its spotlight and thunders up the ring into the Void Activator before Achilles has even made it a few feet! That said, however, the No.22 seed is well and truly away now, charging up to meet its rival! But it appears Matty is prepared for this as his powerful pusher darts out of Alexs way and round to its side! It appears the newbie is finding it hard to penetrate the skirting...but its certainly not having any trouble as it slams the seed into the top wall! Just as its opponent backs off for another slam, Achilles springs into action, twirling around and charging into Matts machine head-on! The blow knocks Not Another Pushover to one side and just as it starts recovering, the NSTT Grand Finalist rams underneath one of its side-skirts! Wasting no time at all, the No.22 seed slowly lifted the newcomer partially off the ground and began dashing across the ring down towards the Void! Matty was manically trying to get away, but hes going nowhere with all six wheels now in the air! Slowing to a stop just at the edge of the hole, Achilles lowered its arm and one simple push sent the PTT newbie tumbling into the purple-and-yellow portal below...

CEASE!!!!!

Not Another Pushover 3 lives up to its name...well, the last word of it, anyway!
ACHILLES (22) GOES THROUGH TO ROUND 3!!!

Woo very nice...

mr voltronic, we are not so different, you and I....

*sorry, random Dr Evil moment there...*

Anyways looks like I could go either way, but as hes goign hydraulics, pnuematic looks better as its quicker. Be very careful so that I can get under it rather than the opposite way round, flip and then push. Ensure that he doesnt get under me.

Predictions: well i know for sure that its not going to be the battlebot.

I think that if Voltronic could get under Achilles from the get go, hell be the winner here.

Is my only semi-finalist ognna be a realie again? *rolls eyes*

Erm, Ill just slide around, keep my front to him. Id rather win on a judges cause of control and neither of us get a lift in the whole match than to lose in all honesty.

Two Rounds in two days? A whole MRW Heat posted at one time?! Yes, folks, the end is upon us. But before that: new fight!
(Oh, and no news on the bottle incident, other than our other dances look like theyre going ahead after all. Woo ^^)

ROUND 3
HEAT FINAL
ACHILLES (22) Vs VOLTRONIC (11)

Today, Achilles is going back to its pneumatics set-up.

House Robots - Dulcy and Shellraiser

Though away the quicker of the two, Achilles still seems rather weary of its opponent and given its track record, why shouldnt it be? The duo meet up in the middle of the arena and tentatively, they try to outmanouevre one another. Voltronics superior turning ability sees it in good stead here, as the No.11 seed manages to bash into the NSTT Finalists side! However, Stephens having a tough time getting under those skirts as he begins pushing his boxier nemesis across the ring! But as our two competitors get closer to one of the arena walls, the Battlebots arm finally scrapes underneath the No.22 seed! Slowly, Achilles gets lifted up by the skirt...but before Voltronics little spikes can get a grip on it, Alex bucks his machine onto the ground with a flick of his powerful flipper and the former NSBFL champ is free once again! Quickly, Stephen and Matty try to manouevre back under a second time, but Mr Holt is having none of it! As the two start trying to circle each other again, the galvanised Grecian proves too quick for Voltronic and smacks into the No.11 seeds front end! With its spatula just getting under one of the front corners, Alex immediately fires the flipper and throws the invertible Battlebot over onto its back! Stephen attempts to get away for a decent charge, but Achilles is already back underneath the Americans creation, this time from the back end! Digging its wheels into the Hardox floor, Mr Holt outshoves the higher-ranking robot all the way across the warzone and just as they approach the edge of Shellraisers zone, the No.22 seeds arm is activated! Voltronic is sent soaring into the air...and crashes down onto the camera track, its fifth PTT campaign now at an end! Alex prepares to celebrate gaining a second Semi-Finalist, but a sudden ram from Shellraiser puts him off! None too pleased with this lack of respect, Mr Holt twirls his machine around and after slipping under its spike-ridden side, the former NSBFL champ sends the House Robot over onto its back with a combined flip and shunt! Cocky git, innee? :wink:

CEASE!!!!!

Voltronic fails to provide an electrifying performance, as our No.11 seed loses out on the title a fifth time! Shock horror!
ACHILLES (22) GOES THROUGH TO THE SERIES SEMI-FINALS!!!

Congratulations to Alex Holt!

Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

Im not liking my chances here. 2 awesome pushers can pit 25kg robots with not much pushing power in very little time... Unless...
Swarm Hypno Disc with all 4, have Masammune crash into the left side, Ragnarok crash into the right side, Excalibur crash into the back and Murasame crash into the front. Murasame, being a LW is pretty small and HDs disc is pretty high [The last time I checked, anyway] so it shouldnt be able to hit it, really. Repeat the crashing again and again [With the weapons, mind you] his armor shouldnt stand up long to four weapons slicing away at the armor at once multiple times, and he should die soon. Once hes down, gang up on Kali, having the two FBSs attack the left side and the two disc spinners attack the right. With four weapons at the same time, again, the armor will collapse fairly rapidly. Have them all back up slightly, then do the four way assault again, like done with Hypno Disc. Hopefully this can happen quickly, before everyone gets pitted. Im cutting Marty some slack for a whole heat in one day, so ill leave him alone, and if he wants to, if it looks bad, can help me push Kali/HypnoDisc in the pit in a emergency where I might be out of the picture soon. If that happens, send a FBS to the pit trigger and help TRITASM push Kali [I say Kali beacause im confident HD will be dead by then] towards the pit with Excalibur/Mursame/both [Depending whos left] if all goes well, I could pass to the next round.
Oh yes: If Ragnaroks Srimech gets chopped off by HDs disc [Im not doubting the possibility] simply have Excalibur or Mursame push it back over with its wedge.
That was a long post for tactics.

I dunno much about the opposition, so Ill just axe and flip whoever comes into contact with me first.
