Zexal started out bad but it improves drastically during the heartland tournament. The barian arc is really good as well. Arc V started out good but it got worse over time. It wasted way too many episodes on the synchro arc.

Yeah, I've heard about them but never seen them myself. Zexal started bad but turned great, Arc-V started fantastic but turned god-awful.

I've seen a few people on r/BattleBots claim that Ray Billings (the guy who built Tombstone) confirmed that it did indeed fit, but I haven't seen this post/comment from Ray himself. Ray does occasionally post there though, as do some of the other roboteers who compete on the show.

did some searching, found it:

Lol it just spins and explodes, everyone is too surprised to react, that shit could've beheaded someone

It busted through the first wall of polycarbonate, but it wouldn't have made it through the second wall (which is like 10 feet farther away and 10 times as thick) especially not with the first wall lowering its momentum so much. It could have beheaded someone, but it didn't because SAFETY REGULATIONS!

Dark Side of Dimensions is great, but is the game really like that these days? Can you summon, attack, summon, attack, dozens of times per turn?

To put things into perspective... here's Yugi's first turn vs. Kaiba in Battle City compared to Playmaker's first turn vs. Revolver in VRAINS.

Turn 1: Yami Yugi
Yami Yugi draws. He then Normal Summons "Queen's Knight" (1500/1600) in Defense Position and Sets a card.

Compared to...

Turn 1: Playmaker
Playmaker Normal Summons "Stack Reviver" (100/600). Since "Stack Reviver" was Normal Summoned, Playmaker activates the effect of "Boot Staggered" (2300/500) in his hand to Special Summon it. As Playmaker controls a Cyberse monster, he Special Summons "Backup Secretary" by its own effect (1200/800).

Playmaker uses "Stack Reviver", "Boot Staggered" and "Backup Secretary" to Link Summon "Decode Talker" (2300/LINK-3/) to the Extra Monster Zone.

As it was used as material for a Link Summon, the effect of "Stack Reviver" activates, letting Playmaker target a Level 4 or lower Cyberse-Type monster in his Graveyard that was also used as a material for that Link Summon and Special Summon it. He Special Summons "Backup Secretary" at the bottom-left zone of "Decode Talker" in Defense Position. Decode Talker" gains 500 ATK for each monster it points to. "Decode Talker" points to "Backup Secretary" ("Decode Talker": 2300 2800). Playmaker Sets a card.

One normal summon of a 1500 ATK monster and a set card compared to one normal summon, followed by four special summons, ending with a 2800 ATK monster and a second monster in defense mode, and a set card. 15+ years of development will do that to a card game.

Sometimes card effects can allow for summons during the battle phase, which can cause a replay or (if the turn player summoned them) they can attack in the same battle phase they were summoned. But mostly it's just summon, then attack. Or rather, these days it's more like summon, summon, use those summons for an extra deck summon, summon, summon, use those for an extra deck summon, summon, use all of those for an extra deck summon, summon, summon, use those for an extra deck summon, then attack, attack, attack, attack, activate a card effect to summon another monster in the battle phase, attack.

Either way, you only get one battle phase per turn, and most summons still take place during the main phases (one before battle, one after battle).

Yugi vs. Kaiba (DM - Battle City)
Yugi vs. Atem (DM)
Jaden vs. Yubel (GX)
Jack vs. Yusei (5D's - final duel)
Playmaker vs. Revolver (VRAINS - this one's technically two duels in one, since it started as a Speed Duel, which ended in a draw, then was restarted as a Master Duel)

Haven't seen enough of Zexal or ARC-V to comment on those.

Yeah, everyone post your FC and ID here so we can put it together in one place in the next topic, as this one is quickly reaching its end :3

274661 - Fuzzybunny

9878 - Cal
72289 - Kaleido

I might throw together something on Google Docs to have all of these in one place for us.

Also, who wants to make the next topic? Should we set up a "reserve list" for who makes the topics like we do for the anime general topics? Just give it to whoever feels like making it when the previous topic is ending? Or just loop through 3-4 reliable names in a cycle?

@Spidey5 I just read the preview for next week's Revue Starlight.

After reconfirming her promise with Hikari, Karen takes on the lessons like she was reborn. Other classmates are surprised at her changes while Mahiru can't accept it. "A changing Karen is not the Karen-chan that I love". Mahiru snaps, and her feelings raise the curtain of the Revue.

So kinda unrelated to the actual topic i guess, did someone ever injure themselves in these fights? i assume all the safeguards, barriers, etc weren't exactly the same back when this started?

I've heard of an incident during the original Robot Wars series that led to someone's death, but I can't remember all of the details. It pissed off a lot of people and became a big reason why there are so many safety regulations in the entire sport now. Kill switches, safety links, isolated testing areas, extremely thick bulletproof polycarbonate walls, the works. There are an insane number of safety regulations, but when 3/4 of the machines involved are fully capable of killing a human being, there has to be.

But occasionally you get shit like this, where even the most OCD safety freak couldn't have foreseen something like this happening. *video below has spoilers for a later Robot Wars series that will be airing on Science, but it's an early round so nothing really major*



No one was hurt though, because SAFETY REGULATIONS!

You only missed BattleBots. Robot Wars starts on the 8th, immediately after the BattleBots rerun on the Science Channel. You get a double dose.

Unrelated, found a vocaloid video on youtube, over 1.3m views on the video alone, 2 minutes into the song full on miku nipples and this song has been up for years... what the hell

Probably don't want to mess with it, considering the gigantic amount of backlash that the Miku fanbase has thrown Youtube's way when they've deleted videos in the past.

She's just Mai from Katana Maidens, but without a Sayaka in her life to keep her from going batshit fucking crazy after having her Kanami stolen from her.




I'm half expecting her to just straight up bash someone's skull in with that mace of hers.

GFL is one of the most player-friendly gacha games out there, and it has two events (the last week of Operation Cube and the new CZ75 points event) going right now. Unless you're a huge SMT fan (I've heard good things about that gacha, but I'm not a SMT fan so I don't play it) definitely go with GFL.

Chapter Five's limited drop just won't drop. I've ran it way more than the other bosses. They all dropped it much earlier.

Meanwhile I get Glock twice after running her mission like 7 times.

It's all up to the RNG, just gotta keep trying. Some people get it in 10, some don't get it even after 100.

If I had a second Gameboy Player, I could hook up my Gamecube to my other Gamecube and make the Emerald picture even more cursed.

Do you have a GC-GBA link cable? You could put Colosseum/XD on one and Emerald using the Gameboy Player on the other (or another pair of GC/GBA games that can connect, like Mario Golf Toadstool/Advance Tour) and link them together. EDIT: Wait, I think I see one in your pics.

To those who have been using the uncensor patch, some future additions to the game are already in the files, so replacing them with their uncensored versions now is recommended instead of waiting until they get officially added to the game. And to those who didn't know there was an uncensor patch... yeah, there's an uncensor patch.

Wow... both teams made a tactical decision before the battle, but Valkyrie clearly made the wrong one. Switching from the disc to that bar spinner was a mistake, because half the bar just snapped off, and from there the fight just went all downhill. What a shame. Lock-jaw to the finals, awaiting the winner of Gigabyte vs. Lucky.

Lock-Jaw vs. Kraken is up next! Looks like Valkyrie vs. Hypothermia and Gigabyte vs. Double Dutch are the fights that will only be shown in highlight form.

Wow, I'm not sure about that decision. All three primary weapons (Lucky's flipper and both of Gemini's spinners) ended up disabled, although one of Gemini's spinners was knocked out due to accidental friendly fire rather than due to hitting the opponent. Lucky took quite a bit of physical damage too, including losing a back wheel. At the very least, that wasn't a fight that Lucky dominated enough to get a unanimous decision like they did. Split, maybe. But not unanimous.

EDIT: I just realized that I probably should have included a spoiler warning in the topic title.

What fights do you want to see in before this season of Battlebots is over?

I want to see Duck fight Tombstone. Bronco was probably one of the worst match-ups a tank like Duck could have but I want to see if the Break Fist on Face strategy could work against something like Tombstone. Tombstone's weapon is devastating but so far Duck hasn't seemingly taken anything but superficial damage.

Duck vs. Tombstone is one of my most anticipated fights too, because if Duck can't tank Tombstone's hits, nothing can. Alternate versions of these bots actually met on the live event circuit at RoboGames last year, and it went in favor of *under spoiler tags just in case this matchup actually happens* Duck's alternate version.

The reason I say "alternate version" is because BattleBots requires the bot builders to give the show exclusive rights to both the bot's name and the bot itself. Ray's original heavyweight (220LB on the live event circuit) spinner bot was Last Rites, but so he could still use it in RoboGames and other live events, he instead converted his superheavyweight (350LB) bot, Tombstone, and downsized it to BattleBots' unique weight limit of 250LB. Other teams have multiple bots as well, one for BattleBots and one for live events

Robot Wars isn't as strict with their limitations and they allow their robots to compete in non-televised live events, but for other televised events (like King Of Bots in China, the aforementioned RoboGames, and of course BattleBots) they still enforce that limitation and the teams have to make an entirely new bot.

EDIT: Oh, you already included the video anyways...

Well, full body spinners still aren't my preferred chassis but I'm going to pick Gigabyte to win. On one hand, IIRC that's the one which lost its top to Tombstone after the team relied on a third party to create the cap piece and received a junk part. I'm inclined to believe them based on the fact that Tombstone's operator showed them some respect and didn't mangle their 'naked' bot.

I'd say they're the favorites too, but Lock-jaw is a solid pick too. Even though they haven't had any fights televised yet, some people who went to the tapings have said that Valkyrie's undercutter disc is pretty strong, so they could be a dark horse in this tournament. Also, I have a soft spot for gimmicky clusterbots, so I hope Gemini does well.

Loved watching Robot Wars on PBS, and Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors on SpikeTV.

I watched the original Robot Wars when they aired it on TechTV (before the channel got absorbed by G4) and loved it. I actually preferred it over BattleBots.

Hypno-disc was among my favorites.

Yeah, that bot was a monster back in the day. It's a shame that we never got to see it against Razer... the greatest dream fight that never happened.
