Calwings 03/31/22 6:59:02 PM #1:	The 2022 BattleBots World Championship Tournament continues https://battlebots.com/bracket/ Tonight, we'll be seeing the second-round matches in the tournament, and with so many powerful bots left and so many potential upsets, no bot is safe! You can see the full bracket by clicking the link above, but be aware that the online bracket includes the results from the first-round matches, so don't click it if you're not fully caught up. And as a reminder: Please put any discussion of match results under spoiler tags until 24 hours after the episode airs out of consideration for people who can't watch the episode live, especially if you decide to watch the episode early on Discovery+ before it airs on TV. Showtime is about an hour away. --- ''The cycle of suffering goes on, but the memories of you stay strong...'' https://i.imgur.com/Xyw75SQ.gif <cite>Calwings posted [p:963918223] in BattleBots...

Really good back and forth, even if some of it was due to getting stuck.~~ ~~Blip is looking pretty unstoppable, but it will have to go against~~ Hydra, which had a great showcase of it's flipper again. I knew they'd win as soon as the Black Dragon team basically said their strategy was to not get flipped, and that if they do get flipped, they can take it. Their aggressive strategy wasn't too surprising. ~~I've been down on Witch Doctor stocks lately, especially since it hasn't really had a proper showing until today, but man, that's reminding me of the 2019 WD right there.~~ ~~Sawblaze won... I mean, no surprise, lol. Honestly, kudos to P1 for living the full 3 minutes.~~ ~~Screw them for not showing the last year's runner-up fight at all. You could have squeezed in the fight during the 2 hour period.~~ The main event shocked me. I know Minotaur is good, but I really had End Game repeating unless it fought a fully-functioning Hydra.

DuneMan 04/02/22 12:15:02 AM #35:	Calwings posted... Who wins the battle of the flippers next week, Hydra or Blip? I'll give a nod to Blip. Hydra is plagued by reliability issues. Then, even when the bot itself is working, the small spoon flipper has a tendency to get damaged. All in all though, it's true that the contestants are much more dialed in this season. The End Game and Minotaur fight shows how brutal things can get and yet the top bots keep fighting. On that note, it's time for Tombstone to either get 4 wheels or be retired. Those things are just a liability as they are now. Without change Tombstone is going to go the route of Bronco, getting dunked on in every match until forced to leave in utter shame. But, hey, at least it won't get ripped apart into tiny pieces like Ghost Raptor, thanks to the crash bar design. --- "I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me." -Cao Cao <cite>DuneMan posted [p:963953681] in BattleBots...

[t:79967175]...</cite> <quote>I personally got Hydra winning against Blip. Hydra will summon every bit of devil's magic to somehow win, even with a bot that is clearly not 100% there. I'm sorta rooting for the flippers, though. It'd be a nice change of pace compared to the usual winners. </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

LostForest 04/02/22 1:14:49 PM #38:	I hate Hydra but I feel like it's too flat for Blip to get under unless they get real shmucky with forks (which normally I'm against, but would be cool to see Hydra get a taste of its own medicine lol) TBH fuck Hydra lol. Black Dragon really could've done a better job, but if I were a judge I might've scored that for Black Dragon since like... something people seem to disregard is that flips don't always necessarily = damage. They look cool but most bots get drop tested to ensure they can withstand been flipped. In a fight like that, Hydra should've scored 0 in aggression, barely anything in damage, and honestly the control factor was kind of a draw IMO. --- http://poorcouplesfoodguide.com Agender, curry fan, Top 10 lister, indie dev, gym hitter, musician, et al. <cite>LostForest posted [p:963963096] in BattleBots...

PiOverlord 04/02/22 10:00:31 PM #39:	Black Dragon did not control that fight at all, lmao. I know Hydra has some hate, but lmao at saying it wouldn't be delusional to give Black Dragon the win. That'd be like giving the win in a boxing match to the guy who kept rushing another boxer, missing every punch, while getting pummeled continuously throughout the entire match.

And what's worse is I think I have nothing but shots next week since I have like no winners left. Black Dragon was dumbfucks. They should have made Hydra which could very well not had directional movement come to them. Instead they just kept driving into their flipper. They absolutely deserve their loss and I hate Hydra. Also I am very drink. --- Gheb is my other account <cite>Compsognathus posted [p:963978174] in BattleBots...

DuneMan 04/03/22 6:30:56 AM #45:	Yeah, to continue the boxing comparison, even throwing a bunch of weak jabs will score points if they connect. So even if Black Dragon didn't look like crumpled paper at the end of the match the fact that they kept eating attacks from a primary weapon means the points go to Hydra. With Damage and Control on Hydra's side there was no realistic scenario for Black Dragon to win. On the other hand, if Black Dragon wasn't aggressive to the point of mindlessness and sought to break the spatula flipper on Hydra it could have been their win. Once Hydra's weapon gets damaged it's basically just a lump of a bot with a compromised drive train. --- "I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me." -Cao Cao <cite>DuneMan posted [p:963983663] in BattleBots...
