I Dance Crabcore, Motherfucker vs Delorean Cowboy
Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2019 1:15 pm
Crabs: 6 speed / 5 traction / 2 torque / 7 weapon (5 clamp/5 saw) / 10 armour (+1 claws)
Delorean Cowboy: Speed: 3 / Traction: 2 / Torque: 1 / Weapon: 16 / Armor: 8

I KO his body in a hit, his claws wont last more than 1 or 2 I beat his wedge head-on: he's got that wide-ass flat thing with wimpy prongs, I have proper 2WD. He's too wide to often use circle strafing to effectively avoid my wedge.
Play passive. He's going to try and flank somehow. To counter, mostly back up, while turning back at an angle from him, such that I minimize my gyro forces, turn in a wide arc (to avoid pinning myself up against the wall or hazards), and in general don't let him get to my sides. try to do this for as little time as possible - as soon as I see enough of an opening for me to get under him, dart (with all that 3 speed) forewards, get under him, and deliver a mighty smack.
if he gets under me from the side:
-with claws closed: continue the circling backwards method, mixing up directions, trying to use my gyro to my advantage to move wonkily and be hard to control, but dont over do it and tip over. Mix this in with just darting straight back, see if I can get him to make a mistake with his movement - I literally just need him to get near to my front once - I hit far enough beyond the front of my wedge to hit the top lip of his plow - though if I can get further under him that would also be great. In general steer us such that we move in a circle and stick the the "center" of the arena (between the hazards and the exterior walls - dont put me anywhere near the fucking IED.): he doesn't have enough wedge to actively control the direction of my squirming.
-with claws open: drive forewards and hit the side of the claw. he's a dumbass.
if he gets under me from the front: I should still hit the top lip of his claws (or his chassis if he's a fucking dumbass and came at me with claws open). if I can't, see if I can win a pushing war since omni wheels have no grip. if no, same wonky movement shit.
if I'm flipped I think I might be able to self right. I still have a 16 power weapon after all :V
