Ghost-RPing for Dylan since Billy disappeared for two weeks and showed back up an hour before the deadline while Dylan was at a wedding reception. Doomerang Speed: 15 Weapon: 3 Armor: 10 (+1 to the thwack teeth) Traction: 1 (+5 melty-brain spinup bonus for a total of 6) Torque: 1 V2 5/3/1/13/8 (+2 ...

Abyss: 4/2/1/16/7 Whirlpool: 4/3/1/15/7 Our weapons impacting = big damage and probably corner damage. Both hit hard and both are being hit out of plane. However, a few crucial factors come down in my favour: 1) I simply do more damage than he does, straight up: 5 (likely corner) damage to 4. I coul...

Well, from what people posted, it seems like Brad wants the FF, so I've got nothing to lose. Time to try something different! 8/7/4/2/9 config BTW, short pipes on, vents and other doodads off to give a nice smooth wedge surface. He'll expect me to try to win the wedge war and shove him around the tr...

I hit low enough that I should mess up his forks and wedge to the tune of 5 damage before his drum can hit me. He has more than double my speed, but his 'hit zone' is a lot smaller and I can strafe. Take advantage by strafing to the side just before impacts. Even if he guesses and prepares for it, i...

MADSCIENCE: 16/1+5/1/2(1/1/1)/10(+2 teeth) vs. Y.V.: 8/7/3/2/10 (+3 plow) Y.V.'s plow is under 1/3 in the same way that America isn't really a corporate oligarchy. It's really not even close. Anyways, if we take it at face value, then he's still taking 4.5 shock damage on every hit with such a larg...

Abyss: 4/2/1/16/7 vs Di-Trouble Gen II: 5/3/1/14/7 His speed and control edge is minimal enough that I can keep facing him, and his wedges won't 'press' unless he's reversing. Even if he does that, just go head to head with him and I'll tear them off, crippling his movement His others will flip aro...

Stats Sixpounder: 8/7/4/1/10 (+1 plow) - no wedge teeth vs. Found God in a Tomato: 6/4/1/15/4 Strategy So, not much to say here, really. He kills himself in three hits but I have 9 base armour behind my plow. That leads me to believe that some desperation/brilliant strategy is coming, probably invo...

Mean Green Motorsports The legend returns: Kirk Kidd. #1 Monster Energy Dodge Aggression: 90 Consistency: 100 Finishing: 100 Qualifying: 90 Road Course: 50 Short Track: 100 Speedway: 100 Superspeedway: 50 After a phenomenal start, the fame got to him. Kirk's always been a restless soul and he just ...

Sixpounder: 8/7/4/1/10 (+1 plow) - wedge teeth on, other doodads off, shortpipes so my wedge is actually 360. Mekabu: 5/4/1/13/7 He has those outer forks to protect against angling in on the inner forks. He's likely to be pretty confident in them, but they're long and exposed and there's nothing to...

MADSCIENCE: 16/1+5/1/2 (1/1/1)/ 10 (+2 teeth) Flipcake: 7/6/2/3/10 (+2 plow) TBR can't flank this. :P Honestly, that means he'll probably just go for traditional brick tactics against me, which is to say he'll try to break my fist with his face, smothering and flipping all match long. That's good i...

Abyss: 4/2/1/16/7 Visual Assault: 6/5/5/5/9 (+2 front) He's using his anti-Black Dog attachment. It's worked for him before because his opponents were more focused on winning the wedge war. I'm going to opt out of that. Also, consider the following: 1) 3 corner damage is considerable under these ru...

Abyss: 4/2/1/16/7 vs. Pressure Flop: 1/1/1/19 (15/4)/10 Two big hitters. I do 6 corner damage wherever I hit him and probably flip him. He does 4 to my drum and 8 anywhere else. This only lasts more than a couple of hits in either direction if we meet weapon to weapon. In that case, I actually have...

Sixpounder: 8/7/4/1/10 (+1 plow+blocker) vs. Kirby (Star Rod): 4/2/1/14/9 I have a massive drivetrain edge (literally double his speed and pushing faster than he can move) as well as a hammer blocker that should stymie him from both the front or an angle. To counter, he has a weapon that can do ser...

MADSCIENCE: 16/1 (+5)/1/2 (1/1/1)/10 (+2 teeth) vs. Hard News: 5/3/1/15 (+1 srimech)/6 (+1 bar) Okay, I should keep this simple, but I'm me and I can't. Apologies. I have a massive weapon-to-weapon advantage, dealing 5 damage to his bar and 11 to his chassis, both of which should be corner damage, ...
