Semi 2

[Guest]

Well, we now know the full line up, so comments please. Just remember, im listing the fights in no particular order of occurence.

Mute V Firestorm (2)

I think that while mute is highly impressive, Firestorm look nigh on unstoppable and in a frontal assault Firestorm would win. They are both incredibly resilient, thats for sure, and i dont think its about who has the more powerful flip, more about who can get under the other easiest. Firestorm looks like the winner in this, and hence the winner of the fight overall.

Typhoon 2 V Thermidor 2 (14)

No chance or hope for themry, typhoon all the way. Once it gets up to speed, it will be impossible to flip, and there are lots of soft parts on thermy to nibble. Looks like an easy win for her majestys forces for me. Perhaps it wont be as one sided as i think, but the winner is in little doubt.

Storm 2 (16) V The Grim Reaper

This will also be very one sided I think, as Grim Reaper will have difficulty getting under Storm and will be pushed about everywhere. Besides, even if Storm is flipped it doesnt matter. Storm on a judges decision.

M2 V Atomic

Looks to be a closer fight, as both have similar specs and weaponry. There may well be an OOTA, but as the fight draws on, I think that M2s low pressure system will come in to it more. Expect a flip frenzy from both sides.

Overall i wouldnt say who will meet in Round 2, but I say that the likelyhood is that Storm 2 and Typhoon will reach the grand final, but Firestorm is also in for a good chance.

All credit to George as heres wat i think will happen(i like your predictions mate)


Mute V Firestorm (2)
You can bet there be som flipping MUTE about in this battle but i think mute may stop the number 2 seed.

Typhoon 2 V Thermidor 2 (14)

T2 may get there spinner up to speed before the lobster grabs em. Smash away!

Storm 2 (16) V The Grim Reaper
Strom 2. hmmm very quick and there gonna give TGR a run for the money. OOTA maybe.


M2 V Atomic
Battle of the flippers. Im going to say both M2 and Atomic 2(says on the side) get bout 10 flips in until Atomic runs out of gas that makes M2 put it in the pit.


Second Round
These may not be right.

Mute vs Typhoon 2

Both very strong. this will go to the judges but im not a judge so im NOT calling it

Strom 2(16) vs M2

Another fast paced battle. i really think M2 can stop strom 2 if they get it on the side OOTA.

I think Mutes flipper doesnt work properly, as it is hard to get into place, i am suprised it reached the semis to be honest

Semi 2

i agree flips too well maybe could improve in the next series.

Actually, the correct Second round line-up is this

Mute/Firestorm vs Grim Reaper/Storm 2
Thermidor/Typhoon vs Atomic/M2

Semi 2

Mute vs Firestorm:

I think Firestorm has more gas, and Mute can need several flipper fires to self right... Firestorm to win with style I think.

Storm 2 vs Grim Reaper:

Thanks to certain people wearing grim reaper outfits I know this result.

Typhoon 2 vs Thermidor 2

See above fight.

Atomic vs M2:

Very close match, lots of flipping... I think well see atomic go through here.

Well, judging on that
Firestorm will easily win, its lowere to teh ground, more controllable blar blar blar
And Storm 2 will thrash Grim Reaper, it just will, teh reaper has no chance of getting under, it also looks kinda weak too.
Therefore, Storm 2 will kill Firestorm, doubt of an OOTA, probably wont, but a fast and lurid kewl fight.
Other Atomic flip M2 OOTA straight away or I agree if comes down to M2s low pressure, longer lasting flipper.
Any problems with Typhoon and Thermidor will win, otherwise the lobsters dead seafood.
Cant say for teh second round second fight, not sure about it
(please do not point out any spelling mistakes unless you have trouble reading them)

Mute v Firestorm:
As weve seen, Firestorm has less difficulty than some people think in performing an OOTA, so, unless Mute can perform a BITA...Firestorm

Storm 2 v Grim Reaper:
Storm 2

Thermy v Typhoon:
Typhoon, but I like Thermidor more.

M2 v Atomic:
Atomic

Storm II to meet Firestorm, a really close fight perhaps Storm II on a JD.

Typhoon to meet Atomic and rip it to pieces, perhaps taking off the flipper??

[Guest]

Semi 2

Atomics flipper has to come off at some point! Its tradition!

If Storm 2 and Firestorm meet then i doubt firestorm will win. Because I am this kind of person, i think it is highly unlikely firestorm will be able to get Storm 2 OOTA and we know firestorm doesnt like robots that can push it around (razer, tornado) i think Storm will be in the final.

And if tornado and storm meet - ive seen a video from a live event showing storm 2 throwing Tornado OOTA. I think taht will happen, unless Tornado get them down teh pit as tehy are much better at controlling thier robot it seems

what are the chances of mute self righting out of the arena, its certainly powerful enough, and if it was facing the other way it would have in the behemoth battle
