So yeah, trying to do as much now to encourage early RPing. Here are the spreads for this week.
LIGHTWEIGHTS:
1. Extreme Hatred, Jr. vs. Sovereign
EHJ will need to know when to lift and when to hammer. On paper alone, I really like EHJ for this one, but I know John, and I know Sovereign. I ought to, I fought him Week 2. Anyhoo, this should be good.
My prediction: Sovereign 23-22
2. Dandelioness vs. Foreigner
The lifter is trouble for the spinner. But you gotta get under him first, and the teeth could keep him at bay for a while. I don't see Chris trying to thwack, or using the rear spikes as spinner-killers.
My prediction: Foreigner 24-21
3. The Windmill vs. Zombie Killer
The spinner could spell disaster for the current champ. But Zombie Mask is powerful. Another classic spinner vs. wedge fight.
My prediction: The Windmill 23-22
4. Rampant vs. Space Cowboy
Two solid bots. I mean solid as in no hinged wedges. At least I think neither of them do. It's pretty freaking refreshing actually.
My prediction: Rampant by TKO at 2:22
5. Anti-Virus vs. Smack Happier
Who's lower? Who's sturdier? Who knows?
My prediction: Smack Happier 25-20
MIDDLEWEIGHTS:
1. Pissed-Off Poltergeist Resurrected vs. Pandemic II
I recommend Weapon 3 to hammer Pandemic while he takes you to the Drum and Killsaws.
My prediction: Pandemic II 28-17
2. Return Of Feedback vs. Assassin
I'm guessing ramplate for RoF. I'm also guessing obliteration (best name for a season of ARC that hasn't happened yet) for Assassin
My prediction: Return Of Feedback by Knockout at 2:55
3. AMP vs. Taurus
Will this be the RPing version or the non-RPing version?
My prediction: AMP by KO at 2:44
4. Rooster Teeth vs. Solstice
When two spinners go to war, only one can win the score.
My prediction: Rooster Teeth 31-14
5. Black Belt vs. JAKT
This is going to be ugly. Really ugly. This will be the RP where John dishes out every last detail about what he hates about my new bot. But there's something to be desired with JAKT, too. But low armor will be the story.
My prediction: JAKT by Knockout at 1:55
HEAVYWEIGHTS:
1. Some Kind Of Monster vs. Wedginator 5.0
If Paul shows up, Wedginator goes down.
My prediction: Some Kind Of Monster by KO at 2:30
2. Diamond Jim vs. Stampede
Stampede beat Diamond Jim last season. Can he do it again?
My prediction: Stampede 24-21
3. Catalyst vs. Lil' Hatred
Viper just finished facing Kiazi with this bot, and now he gets to face him this week again. Sorry, just a little humor there folks.
My prediction: Lil' Hatred 26-19
4. Dark Star vs. The Arbiter
Interesting matchup. So long as Josh avoids the weapon, he'll be in great shape.
My prediction: The Arbiter by Knockout at 1:28
5. Wrath Of Draco vs. Snijder
Because Tank couldn't make it this season. HAR! Anyway, the disc is trouble.
My prediction: Snijder by Knockout at 2:19
SUPERHEAVYWEIGHTS:
1. Eurypterus Evolved vs. Mack The Knife
Say hello to the plow. The rack will get jacked
My prediction: Eurypterus Evolved 32-13
2. Phobia vs. Bruiser
The hammering might help, but it won't be enough.
My prediction: Bruiser 27-18
3. Sand Crab vs. Copperhead
This will be just like the last time I beat Copperh--ah shit.
My prediction: Copperhead 38-7
4. Plague vs. JOLT
If Paul shows up, Plague goes down
My prediction: JOLT by Knockout at 2:21
5. Red Flag vs. Carnage
Red Flag actually has a chance here. Some good maneuvering and using the disc right....could be close.
My prediction: Carnage 26-19
