Roboforge - We like the Big Jobs

n2:
With a longer run-up,
RWS could have taken
Charger out at the torso.
Charger wasn't going to
just stand there and
take it though, and set
it's attack mode on
"frenzy".

[2]

n2:
The new 50kw Charger
has shielding in all the
right places now.
Dawnbot just can't stop
it.

[3]

n2:
Scissors needs to pick up
more speed before the
hit.� Trinny runs out of
energy and becomes
helpless.

[4]

n2:
Nice fight!� Ant just kept
his distance.� I was
worried that Swordsman
would take him off at the
waist, but was saved by
the deadlock.

[5]

n2:
Good movement fight.
Axeman puts up some
good blocks.
Until the one it misses.

[6]

n2:
This one was a blast!� A
true "fight" instead of
what looks to be a
tourney filled with
slaughters.� These two
were just AT IT the
whole match!� Something
to be said for bots that
have plenty of energy.

[7]

n2:
I dig this fight.� As I've
said before, Ant isn't a
good killer anymore, but
he has become a better
fighter.� There's a difference.� Like a boxer
who tries to wear down
his opponant instead of
going for a knock-out.

[8]

n2:
This fight was all over the
arena.� Ant has a
problem when his upper
arm gets caught:� his
lower arm will fold into
the torso.� One of these
days he's going to
explode from the SC. :(

[9]

n2:
This is a fun fight!� Lots
of action!

[10]

n2:
You gotta hand it to
guro:� His movement is
tops.� His weapon and
attack are going to be
trouble as well.

[11]

n2:
This is the first fight
today to actually make
me yell out loud!� I really
Thought the Swordsman
would be toast.� Shows
what I know.� The
Swordsman� held
Microbellator off at long
range and then picked
him apart.� The final
catch under Micro's shoulder had me holding
my breath:� Aw man, you
GOTTA see this fight!� It
had me yelling "Wooooo!"
But then, I'm kind of a
fan of this stuff.

[12]

n2:
This fight ROCKED!�
There was so much
swordplay and parrying
going on.� Shiva's Orient
would not let the Russian
get around behind.� It
then turned into a matter
of weapon position.� The
swordsman had the edge
of being able to attack
while parrying Frigid
Russian's attack.� One
disappointment is the lack
of self-preservation code
in Frigid Russian: It just
gives up.� It could have
ran and fought in the
second elimination
rounds.

[13]

n2:
Dark Knight came out
hitting hard, but it was
style that won the day.
Even missing an arm, the
Swordsman found the
Knight's controller with a deadly thrust.

[14]

n2:
Microbellator is EVIL!� It's
got a slick paint job to
boot!� This bot has such
a vicious attack method.
Pity any bot that gets
too close...

[15]

n2:
Looks like Microbellator
is dialed in for the kill
now.� It likes to get in
REALLY close.� Would be
cool to see a match
between this and the
dwarven Swordsman.

[16]

n2:
Jobs gets a controller kill
at 180 seconds!!!
Argggggggg!!!

[17]

n2:
gladiator9 got right down
to business.

[18]

n2:
The Doctor will always be
a top, deadly bot.

[19]

n2:
This was a grueling fight!
Warder came SO close to
a controller kill at the
end!� Dark Hug lives to
fight again!

[20]

n2:
Great fight!� A real slugfest.� Expect to see
100kw shield charger
tearing it's way through
the second tree.

[21]

n2:
You REALLY want to see
this fight?� Aw gimme a
break�� Ned's the
second worst humanoid
in the tourney vs one of
the best.� It's a snooze-a
-thon�� Too bad.� I got
REAL fights to record. :p

[22]

n2:
Turn about!� Warder was
behind on points the
whole match, but then
jumped ahead in the last
20 seconds!� The grudge
lives on!

[23]

n2:
This is a real head-
scratcher�.

[24]

n2:
The gorilla ran out of energy at a bad time.�
I thought it was about to
win...

[25]

n2:
This was a close fight,
but Dark Hug kept
getting in good body
shots.

[26]

n2:
No recording because PK
Predator won.� It wasn't
until watching the fight
that I noticed that PK
Predator is illegal!� He
has a weapon on the
torso.� Weapons may be
on the arms only.� Sorry
to catch this so late!� I
hope it will be fixed for
next time!

[27]

n2:
SAVAGE mauling.� Dark
Hug really puts up a
great fight here, but it's
just not enough.

[28]

n2:
Classic match between
subtle style and barbaric
fury.� Barbaric fury won.

[29]

n2:
Much different fight this
time!� Charger must have
had a grudge about the
R1 loss, because it
Mauled Warder this time!

[30]

n2:
Dark Hug gets a kill when
the sides are reversed.

[31]

n2:
Warder just beats,
pounds, hammers, and
pummels on Trinny.� And
Trinny takes it.� Amazing
toughness, even for a
loss.

[32]

n2:
This was a classic position
and parry match.� While
not as frantic as some
others, I can tell you that
I was on the edge of my
seat, since I knew the AI
that was brewing under
Ant's hood.� Antiquites
stayed at long range and
let Destroyer burn up its
energy.� But then
Destroyer was also
playing it very smart,
Watching it's energy,
keeping it's defenses up.
In the end, Ant just
couldn't get a decent
come-back shot in.� Good
show BOOMER!

[33]

n2:
Someone call the Police!
There's been a mugging!

[34]

n2:
While watching this fight,
I suddenly realized how
far we have come in the
betterment of humanoid
fighters.� These two bots
WAIL on each other, with
as much fury and energy
as you would expect
from any ranked battle.
Great fight!� Long live the
Humanoids!

[35]

n2:
I can't remember EVER
seeing gladiator9 (or 8)
get destroyed!� Holy
cow!� This was BRUTAL!

[36]

n2:
OK now.� This was evil
sneaky poop!� Destroyer
pulled a missus vs 50kw
Charger (after removing
it's arms!), but then
stopped his cheering and
went back and attacked!
WTF?� So I looked at the
code.� Well I'll be
dammed.� He purposely
set it to stop missus in
the last 15 seconds!� The
fink!� Any way, I gave
the fight a special ending
message, just for him!
Hope you like it BOOMER!
