i'm on the glitch is cool and good team actually but big fuckin RIP for getting withdrawn. witch doctor got out clean huge v uppercut was a fight i was dying for and i'm sad as hell it was recapped. even the double suicide would have been fun to see. same for the copperhead v lucky fight. endgame doing its discount bite force thing and murdering everything it sees bloodsport having their proud new blades murdered immediately was fun to see, although breaking both sides leading to them being stable again was actually hilarious sawblaze giving me vibes similar to its son of wyachi fight where it just went loving ham and started ripping poo poo apart. rip hypershock, it never scored

Or the build to Witch Dr and Mammoth that felt like it went on for 10 minutes. I said the same thing when they started to show the non televised fights, like wtf let us watch the good ones and not fluff. I think its Copperhead's year. edit: part of me thinks the non-televised fights don't contain the champ though because theater.

I'm disappointed in the result but not surprised. i think they'd have been fine if they just made sure that the ears that they put on the hypershock that would've let them drive inverted were actually structurally sound. one ear got bent almost as soon as they went upside down and caused them to run on their disc, and then the second one also eventually went. i hate to poo poo on a bot like that, but its like they didn't drive it upside down at all - it didn't seem like it took any force at all to cause the ears to bend

I really wish they showed the whole Uppercut vs Huge fight. I know a lot of it is down to luck and how aggressive the driver decides to be, but you can really see the range of how good the bots are from this episode. Skorpios went to town on Malice. Full aggression, non-stop. They used their weapon over and over and didn't to a ton of damage. Great show though. Then they fight Endgame and look like a chump. Sawblaze is a similar design, but they took it easy on HiJinx and still tore it apart.

Endgame is just on another level this year. 4 fights, 4 knockouts & their total fight time is just over 4 minutes for the season... I'm rooting for Minotaur, but I'm not really sure anyone is going to be able to stop Endgame from getting another nut this season if nobody even gives them damage they have to repair between fights...

Punting Sawblaze out of the arena about 20 seconds into the fight was a hell of a way to plant their flag on this season and say "Come take it from us", that poo poo was crazy Of course they're facing Minotaur next so their run might come to an abrupt end real soon

It is fun to have a championship tournament where there are a few real contenders. Anything could happen. Endgame likes to play defence and wait for the opponent to slip up. Seems like they are very good at keeping the deadly end pointed the right way.

Neither show actually telegraphed or spoiled this. It only was a spoiler if you actually dug into the show and filming schedule and found out they did the Bounty Hunter matches in the downtime between the tournament fights. But also it was nice because they put the Bounty Hunter episodes up on Discovery Plus during the normal season, so I was able to cancel that subscription sooner than I will likely be able to this year...

I could not believe how much time was wasted on the build up to Witch Doctor and Mammoth. They went on and on through like 2 commercials breaks like, "Will Witch Doctor be ready? Mammoth is so different!" and the Mammoth guy just making poo poo up. Like yeah, we get it, Glitch sucks so here's Mammoth and Witch Doctor is going to destroy it in 30 seconds. That's why skipping two fights is even more baffling.

Nissin Cup Nudist posted:I want to see the score scards for Huge/Uppercut. Bit surprised it unanimous for Uppercut I'm pretty sure Uppercut did some serious damage to one of the back supports on Huge. If that is the case, even though Uppercut took some damage itself, that might be enough to tip the damage category, and there just wasn't enough in the control/aggression categories to outweigh it. The fight was too short.

I guess I can kinda see the logic. Uppercut fully rendered Huge nonfunctional, and Huge just knocked a self-righting bar off Uppercut and then it landed in a way that it couldn't move. But then again, breaking the ability to self-right and then flipping them is also making them nonfunctional, soooooo

Gonna be generous and guess that they weren’t knockout fights and both took over ten minutes each including judge time. Both uppercut and copperhead should go far. They probably could have squeezed them in though. Huge didn’t look mobile at the end, fwiw. Otteration fucked around with this message at 23:42 on Mar 20, 2022 |
