It was a good week for everyone except Terminal Velocity who, unfortunately, now looks dead in the water.

Yes, I agree with 7. That is pretty much where I am. I'm the only one left who could still be totally eliminated from the playoffs. And the chance of that happening is substantial.

ABR - 30% chance of qualifying. If Robotnik loses or I lose then I'm out. I figure a 60% chance of beating Pyrite combined with a 60% chance of Dr Robotnik beating Psyclone coupled with the 1 in however many chance I have at surviving the ensuing clusterfuck rumble end up with a 30% overall chance at qualifying.

Stingray - 5% chance of qualifying. Stingray is basically lost. Impossible match against Braveheart is impossible. And even then other things have to line up just to even get a rumble, and then surviving the rumble is yet another task altogether. I have given up on this one.

Parasite - 60% chance of qualifying. Parasite is the only bot that isn't dependent upon other bots in its class losing matches to be able to qualify. It just needs to beat Camo Alert, and at the very least I am guaranteed a rumble afterwards. No small task though; Camo Alert is serious business.

Sphere O' Fear - 10% chance of qualifying. Nothing I can do on my end. It depends upon too many other fights working out perfectly and then winning the rumble, which is possible, but I consider SOF's chances of qualifying very remote.

In which case, I'd better do what I can to win- if there's one thing in particular that could cause me real problems if I qualify for the rumble, it'll be a well-armoured rammer like ABR.

If I can get lucky by beating Robotnik and coming up against the other top spinners however, I reckon that's where Psyclone's near-impervious defence will ultimately pay off- it should hopefully allow it to wade right in and use its 360-degree killing zone to do the necessary business to qualify for the Playoffs.

Dr. Robotnik has to win, or Anti-Virus is guaranteed to be in a rumble he will definitely lose. :(

I'm sorry, Kody. I'm afraid I can't let him do that.

It sucks going 0-5. You lose all 4 of your bot fights for the week and you also lose at life.

Ratings updated for the final week of the season&#33; It'll probably be the last week for them as well since they become kind of moot during the playoffs.

Two of his losses put him out of the playoffs and his one win ended up not mattering.&nbsp; That

Not sure how I'm 0-2 Josh, I did beat all three of the other bots in the LW playoffs already.

Unless theres a point I'm missing here.

H&N lost to Luna and Camo Alert lost to Cutie Honey. Hence the 0-2. It was refering to the bots you'll face in the semi-finals.

Ah, apologies, I thought you were referring to the lightweights, my mistake.
