FRR Dead Zone - Power Rankings

I enjoyed reading Kody's little essays on the top four spots. =D Definitely looking more interesting now the season's past halfway, hopefully I can consolidate my third place in the rankings. I'm very pleased with how Dead Zone's going for me.

Kraze 3 has surprised the hell out of me, I did not expect it to go undefeated for this long. Not sure I can go all the way, though, after Intimidator, I've got Atilla, Killobite and Slasher. I would say they were three of the four trickiest bots for Kraze to fight in the season. I reckon I'll still be able to see some playoff action with this one, though.

Agent X is doing well, I reckon I could probably hold it together for a playoff spot. Couple of losses to the tricky IB and the ever-destructive JSG. Dr. Thwack and Jack Frost may pose a similar problem, but I'm feeling reasonably confident about PS this week, and Peppernut as well. And I've revised my strategy should I meet JSG post-season. =D
Should only be 4-2 at this point, though, Kody.

Freezerburn's still there, a strong season finish could see it usurp one of the hopefuls at this point. Whipcoil this week, then Sunshine, Dedede and Fire Cubed. I think I should still break even, or get a winning record with it. Whether or not that's enough to get to the playoffs, we'll have to wait and see.

Scatterbrain, nope. :P But at least it was awesome.

Another 2-2 week and I drop in the standings again. Ugh, I'm paying for that great record last season.

Oh and none of my bots in the playoff picture currently... awesome&#33;

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

Well... WC and PS moved up, and Pyrite fell. WhipCoil is my biggest hope so far.

Fuck, I might actually completely miss the playoffs&#33; :(

K.Rool sure as shit won't keep up with the top 4, and I don't think Dedede will either. Final Boss is on the wrong end of too many split decisions lately and is falling dangerously behind.

Robotnik is probably my best chance and even then it boils down to my ability to beat bots like D-REZ and War Bastard.... dammit...

Should Team Gemini not be 18-9 at the moment? Since he had that bye earlier in the season?

Still fifth overall, but I'm still on top in the LW division, and now I'm back on top of the MW division again, to boot :lol:

Let's see what happens from here- hopefully I can go up a ranking or so soon.

Rob me of my 1st rank, will you? :P

Regardless, fixed. I'll have to kick Jack Frost's arse for that...I still owe Chris for Scarab and Killobite...

I'm just being observant and anal, like last time. :D I'm quite numerically minded, so I notice that sort of thing.

I've not really been keeping tabs on who I need to get back, though. Other than GF93, but that's just a friendly little personal war that's carried over from GTM. =) I am hoping to steal third from Dylan this week, though.

Updated.

LWs
Well, The Servant's Assistant and War Bastard are STILL tied for 1st there, coming off victories from Red Zone and Pyrite respectively. This leaves room for D-REZ, having beaten Dr. Robotnik, to move in. Red Zone is still in prime play-off position, but he'll have to work hard against the Janus twins this week. The Servant's Assistant gets Talon, who FF'd this week, so he might get a free win. War Bastard will have to defeat Dr. Robotnik, who badly needs a win to stay in the race after his defeat from D-REZ, to keep in shape against Servant. Pyrite meanwhile fights Scatterbrain, who should be a tough proposition. All in all, this weight class is fucked to hell. :P

MWs
Jinx and Dreadnought are the queen and king, respectively, of this class. Jinx gets this week off and Dreadnought has to fight Bad Wolf to pass Jinx. After them, however, is an absolute fuckfest worse than the LW division&#33; Freezerburn, King Dedede, Bad Wolf, and Messiah each have 4-3, and WhipCoil has 4-4&#33; There is hardly any telling how this will work out. Messiah and WhipCoil fight each, and Messiah looks to come out better there...though Mark didn't RP this week. :P Freezerburn and King Dedede looks fairly evenly matched, though Freezerburn's weak armour may prove telling if Josh stops the weapon. Bad Wolf fights one of the top ones, Dreadnought, here, so Martijn will have to RP his ass off for that.

HWs
Jesus Christ. Kraze 3 looks to get an easy win with Killobite, who has been doing lackluster recently. Slasher is fighting Blood Thirsty this week. Blood Thirsty beat Slasher in ARC: Armageddon, so Chris will be looking for some sweet revenge here. Atilla is off this week, which isn't good because King K. Rool has a FF win against Alex seemingly and can pass him. Killobite is really up against it with Kraze, so Kody will have to be smart here. It might not matter because Kraze is the only undefeated robot so far, and looks to keep it that way.

SHWs
Industrial Bastardization has a firm grip on the top spot. With a FF against Alex this week and a bye next week after, the only loss he could get is from Jack Frost in the last week, so he looks to be the top dog here. Jack Frost himself is off this week. Japanese Porn Star willingly FF'd this week against the SHW king and is fighting the ridiculous Suicide Bomber this week. Suicide Bomber actually caused a double-KO against Dr. Thwack two weeks ago, but Dr. Thwack won on aggression. Since JPS is similarly statted, the outcome shouldn't be too different, but SB does have the more powerful weapon. And there are more fuckballs to be had after Jack Frost: Agent X, Final Boss, Peppernut, and Phantasmic Slammer all are 4-3. Agent X and Peppernut are fighting each other; Agent X's better wedge could prove telling. Phantasmic Slammer gets Dr. Thwack this week. He didn't do too well against Jack Frost previously so he'll have his work cut out for him here. Final Boss gets Lethal Injection here. GF93 will find it really hard to defeat those skirts of Final Boss', so Josh looks to get the win there.

:P

HOORAY FOR FUCKFESTS. =D I love when statistics screw with people.

Still, third place in the Rankings is very nice indeed and DAMMIT ALEX IS ON MY BACK AGAIN. Although with some good fortune I can snaffle second place from Chris this week. That would be excellent. =D

Scatterbrain looks to be slowly climbing back up the table at season's end, but I fear it could be too little too late. Got Pyrite this week, and then two tricky spinners, which could spell the end for Scatterbrain. It's been an interesting little contraption, however, and at least it'll be fun watching it die.

Freezerburn is coming back up quite nicely after a troubled start. With the remaining schedule, though, I reckon a strong finish could be on the cards. Playoffs are not out of the picture just yet, but it's gonna have to work for them. Not bad for a filler entry.

Kraze 3 has been by far and away the surprise of my team. It could be the lack of high-powered spinners in the division, but I really didn't expect to have such a strong showing. Very difficult finish to the season, with Atilla and Slasher, but looking very good for the playoffs. Win this week, and I think it's guaranteed.

Agent X is slipping back down the rankings. Noooooooooooo, etc. Still looking decent for a playoff spot, though it looks difficult with Peppernut and then two powerful spinners. Hopefully I can prove its versatility and claim a spot, then take revenge on JSG for that early season loss which could prove critical.

Ah, feels good to be back in the game again ^_^

My lower two are still my tips to win- some tricky matchups towards the end here, but with good planning, I might be able to take them.
Also as an honourable mention, I realise the Bomb's long gone and LI looks set for the same fate, but it'll be nice to scrape back as much as I can with them.

I honestly think that I'm lower than Dr. Thwack, I got under Suicide Bomber no problem so I should be able to win that with the Slammer. I might just scrape out a playoff spot with him yet.

I am forfeiting with Intimidator now. So GF93, enjoy your win this week.

Ugh. Messiah this week for WhipCoil? And just when I thought I was gonna make the playoffs. Hopefully Mark will FF and I can get back in the race.

Pyrite is still in it, but I'll be hard-pressed to beat Scatterbrain this week. Ugh.

In all seriousness though, it would be nice if you did RP for it- I'd like to earn the win.

Further updated for the play-off hunt.

Notes
- Scarab and Janus, however low they may be, are still in the running. Scarab, even with the BYE, faces D-REZ in Week 11, and Janus fights Red Zone this week, so they could potentially force a tie.
- Sunshine is still in MW play-off hunt; he has beaten Bad Wolf and still has yet to fight Messiah
- Kraze 3, astonishingly, has not clinched a play-off spot yet, and Slasher has. The reason for this is that Slasher beat Killobite, while Kraze 3 has yet to fight him. A win against Killobite will definitely clinch Kraze 3.
- Bulletproof Bomb is not eliminated because he has yet to face off against Atilla. If Bulletproof Bomb wins all his next matches and Atilla, Y-Combat, Killobite, and King K. Rool lose theirs, Bulletproof Bomb clinches. Which is actually very possible since Kraze 3 is up against Killobite and Atilla. King K. Rool fights Punch Buggy next though. If Alex FFs again, it could force a 4-way tie, since Killobite would also get a FF win from Alex most likely.

Clinched play-offs
- The Servant's Assistant
- War Bastard
- Jinx
- Dreadnought
- Slasher
- Industrial Bastardization

Eliminated
- Dr. Pepperdine
- Talon
- Fire&#33; Fire&#33; Fire&#33;
- Automaton
- The Intimidator
- Metallic Doom
- Punch Buggy
- Drumroll
- Suicide Bomber
