Week 7 Predictions

Post by succotash_54 » Mon Dec 18, 2006 8:08 pm

Again, for fun, not binding or anything like that.

Team Targeted vs. Team "Yellow Alert"

These fights will be interesting. One with veteran experience in the arena, one who is heavy on the real world logistics.

1. Prof. Pepperdine vs. Exotherm

I have no inkling how this will go. These are two really well balanced bots, statwise, so weapons will be important here.

My prediction: Exotherm 27-18

2. FBSDS vs. Influenza

Two spinners! I think the hammers on Influenza will have something to say about this one. We'll see.

My prediction: Influenza 25-20

3. Tank vs. V'Ger

This is where Siphai has it hands down. Tank is going to have a field day.

My prediction: Tank 39-6

4. Eurypterus vs. In the red square.... MINION!

Eurypterus shouldn't be as confident here. Minion's versatility will be troublesome if Siphai gets cocky. If he doesn't though, he should stay in control.

My prediction: Eurypterus 28-17

Team Omegaforce vs. Team Blood Gulch

Poor Josh. Poor poor Josh. Four fights will be Seven Rooms Of Gloom for the fan of the Four Tops.

1. Sovereign vs. Zombie Killer

The speedy wedge might be able to make enough waves to make it interesting, but ass handage will occur.

My prediction: Soverign 29-16

2. JAKT vs. Rooster Teeth

This is where Josh has the best chance to keep from getting swept. RT really needs a speed advantage here, but doesn't have it. It'll depend on which side JAKT attacks with.

My prediction: JAKT 24-21

3. Adrenaline vs. Redemption Denied

John probably has RD listed among his "impossible in real life" list. Seriously, when this season is over, I wanna see John's shit list. The three-toed foot may be what RD needs for this one.

My prediction: Redemption Denied 23-22

4. Copperhead vs. It

Sorry Josh. You're going down on this one.

My prediction: Copperhead by KO at 1:33

Team Concept Robotics vs. Team Hitmen

Honestly, I think Anthony will get all four by Forfeit. But Jason, if you're around, get it in gear, dangit. These spreads are assuming both RP.

1. Prodigy vs. Novastorm

Novastorm's wedge will dominate, but Prodigy's disc is an X factor. How much will it hurt? We'll see

My prediction: Novastorm 26-19

2. Bling 2K vs. Shovearound 2

If Anthony uses those forks right, it's all she wrote. Otherwise, it'll be close.

My prediction: Shovearound 2 34-11

3. Devil's Reject vs. Aquarius

Again, the RP for DR may as well be "Run like hell."

My prediction: Aquarius by KO at 0:55

4. Colonel Kickass vs. AK-47 Slapper

CK could beat the snot out of that satellite dish with little damage from the disc, and Anthony can't push to get at him there, so if Jason RPs, it'll probably go in his favor.

My prediction: Colonel Kickass 29-16

Team Andrewbot vs. Team AC/DC

Let's forget about who'll fight better, and bet on who'll RP first!!! Look for four RPs from Paul, and MAYBE three from Andrew.

1. Corrosive vs. Double Dose

Those bars will smack the orbiting wedges around and work the disc pretty well, too.

My prediction: Double Dose 30-15

2. Disc Obsession vs. AMP

AMP will smack da Disc up. And a few other parts, too. A wedge attack may be preferred, but not much more so.

My prediction: AMP by KO at 1:30.

3. Poly-Stone vs. Some Kind Of Monster

Andrew's best chance here, and if he RPs, I think he's got it. The monster wedge, though, will help prevent a knockout.

My prediction: Poly-Stone 38-7

4. Snewer Sake vs. Road Rage.

Road Rage will be in control of this one. SS won't be able to get much going.

My prediction: Road Rage 37-8

Team Gemini vs. Team Fire-And-Ice

Chris just finished a four-fight bout against John. This will seem a lot easier at first glance, but Paul's no slouch job either.

1. Red Zone vs. Gayle

Gayle may do a little damage, but not much else. Red Zone knows how to control others, and that's the story here.

My prediction: Red Zone 30-15

2. Sunshine vs. Shockwave

Well, at least it won't be another heartbreaking loss for Barrier. Shockwave's got what it takes and will take by Sunshine's got.

My prediction: Shockwave 25-20

3. Striker vs. Flaminco

Seriously, how many useless treads jokes can I make? Though they may not be here. I think this will close. Flaminco's heavy wedge may not be enough here.

My prediction: Striker 27-18

4. Jack Frost vs. Cascade

Patience is the name of the game here. Cascade will get some nice shots in if he's careful, and keep the big disc at bay.

My prediction: Cascade 28-17

Team Animal Cruelty vs. Team Hunga

Philip's had a week off and needs to get into the swing of things. And he just got thrown into the fire. Dylan's more red hot than the fridge, and will be a handful or two.

1. Pit Bull vs. Underall

Pit Bull simply wasn't designed to take on this wedge. Even the hinged wedge won't do a thing. Look for a wing or two, but nada else.

My prediction: Underall 45-0

2. The Aristocrats vs. My Hands Are Abandoned Factories Manufacturing Heartbreak And Hate For The World.

Between one bot's excessively long name and the other's excessively complex RP will give Josh an aneurysm trying to decide this one. The plow may be key here.

My prediction: My Hands Are Abandoned Factories Manufacturing Heartbreak And Hate For The World 23-22

3. Babaganoush vs. Giant Swan

This one will be interesting. The stats are very similar, but the designs are quite different. If Baba is lower, he's got it, otherwise, it'll be close.

My prediction: Babaganoush 24-21

4. Yellow Cloud vs. Japanese School Girl

If Eurypterus couldn't beat Japanese School Girl, there's really no reason that Yellow Cloud should. Look for Philip to RP his brains out for this one though, or die trying. Still, Yellow Cloud probably won't hear the final bell.

My prediction: Japanese School Girl by KO at 2:44


Those are my picks, now go prove me wrong!

Whoa, I'm fighting you this week? This should be interesting. I've been kind of phoning it in the last couple weeks, but I know I can't be lazy this time.

No no, you can be lazy this week. I mean, I'm sure I'm still a little sluggish from the bye last week.... you know, getting too cozy and such. Don't be afraid to take it easy...
