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

I just realized that I've now passed G-FAAAAACE in # of wins.

As good as that feels, I'd feel even better if I had been around near the earlier FRRs and made decent shit. :(

Thanks to Alex missing most of the season I was able to overtake him for 4th place on the all time wins list, though I probably wouldn't have done so if he hadn't.

As nice as that is, I've become pretty much stagnet as far as playoff performance goes. I've done a fairly decent job of getting in the playoffs the past few seasons, but have done very little once in. I've think I've had a grand total of two finals apperances since Redemption (when Zombie Killer won and Rooster Teeth was finalist). ZK never quite made it to the finals again, Sarge last season was probably the first time in forver that my MW bot wasn't a complete joke. Ocelot was never able to win a playoff match (and lol at replacement HW flippers after ToC), and Final Boss was only able to break through to the finals once.

Well that's enough self-pity for awhile. Though that does make me think I'll probably shut down Final Boss for awhile (barring any more fun little side-tournaments which apperently I can mop up like there's no tomorrow :lol: ), and obviously goofy bots like K. Rool won't be comming back.

Apparently I'm now slightly outside the top 25. Which isn't too bad. Hopefully I can make a good surge when the next season rolls around, and get another bot into the playoffs besides Kraze. Both seasons, Kraze has been the only bot to make the playoffs, and both times he's lost the very first playoff match. But I think the next version should be brilliant, provided I can get the render done properly with the flipper and such.

if SZF can do it, Kraze can do it too

33rd, if my maths is correct. I don't think minor side tournaments are counted.

I'm not sure, are they not counted? They might be, I'm not 100% sure

No, small tournaments are generally not counted unless specified otherwise ahead of time.

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

If they did, GF93 would be 32nd, I think.

Still, it's not a bad place to be for my first major tournament- let's see if I can improve on it once the next season of ARC, FRR or whatever it is it's called these days comes round ^^

I'm pretty content to keep the FRR name going for awhile. It even makes some sense since FRR always did run off a different stat set-up than ARC tournaments did.
