Week 1
The Beast From the Wesr vs The Mafia - Normally I'd go for the Beast in this one. But with that much armor on the main bot, what can BftW do? Other than disintegrate the minibots that is.
Private Iron vs Tree Surgeon - Big scary disc vs a...chainsaw? I'll stick with the vertical disc. TS also doesn't have much armor to work with
Bruxish vs Buzzcut - Not only does Buzzcut have the better wedge, it's also not going to be sliding uncontrollably like the stock market on a bad day, unlike Bruxish and his -4 control
Riptide vs Hat Garage - Those flails might make some trouble for that punching bar, but the Hat Garage is a tough mofo in the armor department, and one of these two has a wedge.
Epic Waluigi vs Apocalyptic Peacekeeper - Tight one, but I'm gonna go with my bot for reasons :v
Captain Trips vs Runaway Rabbit - Any spinner, ANY spinner would have a hard time with Runaway Rabbit. But Trips has the wedge advantage, and the only way RR can escape it is with an OOTA.
To Fry vs Vorpal Bunny - To Fry is unpredictable as fuck. But it's facing against a former champion that literally no one wants to take on (except maybe Hat Garage). So ya, being a gyroscopic mess hasn't worked before and it definitely won't work now.
Vicious vs Salamandra - Sally makes it out of this one. Yep, even as a sawbot. Vicious can be within reach of that sawblade if Dylan's not careful. He usually is though, and there's not much to bite on to after that.
Lightweights
[Twin Typhoons vs Der Metzgermeister - Love the design of DM, but 8 armor on a wedge is ick.
Spashdown vs Icebreaker - Weapon armor is a wonderful thing. If Icebreaker had one more point for that, this might just have gone in his favor.
Hobart vs Bluebot - srimech? I don't see a fecking srimch :v. I question the effectiveness of the flails, especially if it spins down. I mean spinning down did work once for Nightmare, but that was against Malicious Mischief lol.
Lilan vs Flash Flood - Don't get me wrong, Lilian is gonna pound the fuck out of the top of FF. But if Badnik keeps it out of reach, which I think he will, Gabe's not gonna have much going for him
The Theiving Magpie vs Terpischora - Close fight. Edging towards Terpischora bc wedgelets, but I'm not gonna pick one or the other for certain
Backstab vs Ramshock - hard to control your opponent when it can monstertruck every time you wedge it.
Burger Princess vs Killjoy II - Burger King fries are gross. Also sawbots deserve to be viable damnit
Krakatoa vs Dreamchaser - Krakatoa's gonna get under as often as Laz shoves dicks in people's mouths
Middleweights
Axtinguisher vs Neurotoxin - too much armor, not enough weapon.
Gigaflare vs Blue Max - crushers are lulz even with a wedge to protect them. Especially against one of the best spinners in the weight class.
Neophyte Redglare vs Dragonfist - Press flip to oof
Hati vs Frogbot - I can see Frogbot getting an OOTA here, especially if Hati has to keep self righting.
Smackdown vs Outrage - 3 body armor on a cardboard bot. It doesn't get any more realistic than that.
Dredd vs Flame Grilled - How many hits does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie-Dredd? The world may never know. ...and neither will TBR
Vortex vs Harpy - Vortex just doesn't have enough weapon. Harpy might get some shots to it's wedge, but it's probably gonna dominate all match.
Black Dog II vs Champ - No, you're not gonna just miss his wedge entirely :V
Heavyweights
Magnolia Grande vs Neuromancer - Sometimes 10 weapon armor on a lifter is enough. This isn't one of those times sadly. Even if Neuromancer does flank at some point, it's also gonna get hit at some point.
Lambastor vs Boy Flaily - NO MORE FLAILS. JESUS CHRIST :V
Death Metal vs Hellhound - This isn't the first time these two have fought. Hellhound has won every time. Though I will admit that Shaba's strategy has gotten stronger and stronger against it.
Coronal Mass Ejection vs Tongue of the Fatman - Looks like it'll usually win against CME's wedge. And when it does, holy shit. Probably gonna end in an OOTA
Tulta Munille vs Vertigo - This one is close. Idk about this one. So I'm leaving it blank
Tabor Mk II vs The CMC - This is one of Pat's better bots tbh. Tabor can't put her turret in three places, and self righting is gonna be fun for Rocket. Yep, I know. Ecstasy clones are annoying as shit lol.
Highland Fling 2 vs Carbon Z - I mean...glunk shells are pretty useful for wedging, but there's not much that can be done against 12 armor. And you can't really self right once it actually does get under you, so umm...
StarStruk vs ICR Speedwagon - I'm not sure how many hits ICR can take. Yes I actually believe in the hoop of shame, especially since it took until the semis for Starstruck to get flipped in CBC, and the one that flipped it still got fucked in the process :v
