Spread 'em for Week Eight

Post by succotash_54 » Mon May 28, 2007 8:59 pm

Almost done with the season. Let's see what happens

Team Blood Gulch vs. Team Toxic

Josh and Adam face each other this week. That's assuming Adam shows face.

1. Zombie Killer vs. Silver Phantom

Even if Adam shows up, this one is Josh's.

My prediction: Zombie Killer 27-18

2. Rooster Teeth vs. Tiki Dude

That good wedge would be good against those blades.

My prediction: Tiki Dude 25-20

3. The Arbiter vs. Enigma 23

Even the good speed advantage of Arbiter wouldn't save it.

My prediction: Enigma 23 by KO at 2:45

4. Predator vs. Power Bar

This one would be Adam's if he'd show up for it.

My prediction: Power Bar by KO at 2:55

Team Targeted vs. Team Yellow Alert

Alex has been starting to pick up a little momentum, but Nick hasn't been a complete pushoever this season either.

1. Feedback vs. Exotherm

A classic case of horizontal vs. vertical spinner. Exotherm has the better build, and may need it for this one.

My prediction: Exotherm 23-22

2. Scorpion Bite vs. Influenza

Don't worry Alex, I won't be predicting Scorpion Bite to win this week. Just don't see it happening.

My prediction: Influenza by KO at 2:21

3. Tank Mk 4 vs. Probot

That bar was made for fights like this. He'd better use it early and often, or else he'll get steamrolled.

My prediction: Tank Mk 4 24-21

4. Eurypterus Evolved vs. Manta

If Manta can get some flips in, cool, but I'm not seeing it.

My prediction: Eurypterus Evolved 30-15

Team Misogyny Technology vs. Team Hunga

Matt and Dylan.... there's a Gunsmoke joke to make here, but I'm the only one who'd get it.

1. Gudfernuthin EX-H vs. Underall

I think GFN has a good shot at this one. Once more, RP quality will be key.

My prediction: Underall 25-20

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

If AA can make this a cage match, he could dominate. MHAAFMHAHFTW has been a toughie this season though.

My prediction: An Albatross 23-22

3. F Bomb 3 vs. Ladies And Gentlemen, This Is The Death Composition

This could be Mambo #5's moment to shine. F Bomb will be flying in this one.

My prediction: Ladies And Gentlemen, This Is The Death Composition 29-16

4. You're Gonna Get It Dirty Shirley vs. Adreniton

The weatherman says look for heavy precipitation in the form of pink skirts.

My prediction: Adreniton by KO at 1:46

Team AC/DC vs. Team Animal Cruelty

Paul has two bots in pretty good position to have two bots in the playoffs, with a third threatening to squeak in. Philip has two hanging on for dear life and one that's fighting to make it. These two have a LOT at stake this week.

1. Double Dose vs. Dandelioness

Dandelioness has been pretty good against other spinning weapons, but Double Dose is not a bot to take lightly. These two are in a dead tie for 4th place as of Week 6. Both want this one, but who'll get it?

My prediction: Dandelioness 23-22

2. AMP vs. Warper

Warper hasn't had much luck against... well any bot this season. If Tiki Dude had a decent RP, Warper would still be winless.

My prediction: AMP by KO at 1:03

3. Road Rage vs. Diamond Jim

The weak link for Paul, but still a threat. Diamond Jim is a viable force, and could keep going strong in this one.

My prediction: Diamond Jim 26-19

4. JOLT vs. Sand Crab

Sand Crab's one of the better armored bot in the SHW division... it may even last two minutes, but it probably won't last the whole fight.

My prediction: JOLT by KO at 2:28

Team Search And Destroy vs. Team Gemini

John's had a pretty decent season, but this is Chris we're talking here.

1. Smack Happier vs. Celestial Slayer

The lowness of SH makes it a serious threat to CS.

My prediction: Smack Happier 27-18

2. Pissed-Off Poltergeist Resurrected vs. Barrier

Use a hammer, John, because you ain't getting under that thing.

My prediction: Barrier 30-15

3. Stampede vs. Striker

If Stampede can rip the front wedge off, it'll be competitive, otherwise forget it.

My prediction: Striker 27-18

4. Hellraiser Hybrid vs. Phobia

Phobia will be flying in this one.

My prediction: Hellraiser Hybrid 31-14

Burnage. XD

Anyway, even though I'm not in this I'm gonna give some predictions for the first time here.

Ahem...

Team Blood Gulch vs. Team Toxic

I'm assuming that Adam shows up for these.

1. Zombie Killer vs. Silver Phantom

I can totally see Silver Phantom getting his ass shoved all around the arena. He might even get tipped over.

Prediction: Zombie Killer 32-13

2. Rooster Teeth vs. Tiki Dude

It's the previous fight, only switched places, except Rooster Teeth has longer blades and Tiki Dude's got a bigger wedge.

Prediction: Tiki Dude 30-15

3. The Arbiter vs. Enigma 23

If Engima 23 can get to the rear of Arbiter then he's got a good shot at a KO, but I think Arbiter can hold him off for a while getting some good flips in the process. Enimga will probably get in some hits but I don't think it'll be enough here.

Prediction: The Arbiter 26-19

4. Power Bar vs. Predator

No way in hell can Predator win this one. XD

Prediction: Power Bar by KO in 1:49.

Team Targeted vs. Team Yellow Alert

1. Feedback vs. Exotherm

Let's see: They have the same armour, Exotherm has more torque, and speed. However I think it's going to be the weapon that matters in this one. Feedback has a huge advantage there, and a hit on the side would be fatal, and it is uite possible.

Prediction: Feedback by KO at 2:05.

2. Scorpion Bite vs. Influenza

I actually think Scorpion Bite is a really good design, but it's pitted against the wrong bot here. Influenza can really cause damage here and I think a KO might even be possible. I don't think it will happen, though.

Prediction: Influenza 35-10

3. Tank Mk 4 vs. Probot

Probot will get in some good shots but it won't be enough.

Prediction: Tank Mk 4 27-18

4. Eurypterus Evolved vs. Manta

Both are low to the ground, but Eurypterus is more so. Can't see any work with the arm from Manta. I agree with Philip on this one.

Prediction: Eurypterus Evolved 34-11

Team Misogyny Technology vs. Team Hunga

It's a really old (and really cheesey) western show. The main character's name is Sheriff Matt Dillon. They play on TV Land occassionally.

"Mister Dillon&#33; It's Ben Ciple and he's out there with Abbey and he's just treatin' her something fierce."

I WANNA MAKE A PREDICTION i fucking rule at everythin so you can pretty much just update all your sigs now

blood gulch vs toxic

toxic loses everything hes always losing i swear to god 4-20 smoke weed every day to get over the fact that your always losing, blood guch goes 4 and out here im not even lookin at stats

yellow team versus other team

1. Feedback vs. Exotherm

this is gudfer an exo all over again im kinda sad about that tho because exo is a cool bot and i think i lost to feedback so fuck you feedback i hope you lose your built stupid and im better than you

feedback wins by knockout

scorpion bite influenza

spinner bots are gay but most of spats bots are cool anywyas, influenza has spinner all around it

influenza ko

3. Tank Mk 4 vs. Probot

tank is going to win because probots stats dont give him enough speed and thats kinda sad becase i hate tank too fbomb rules forever go probot

tank 30-15

manta versus you rip tear us

i think rip is way lower too bad

rippy like 40-5 seriously hes all under you man


IM NOT SAYIN ANYTHING ABOUT MINE BECAUSE ILL JYNX MYSELF. dirty shitley is gonna lose haha i jynxed the match, cant do much now sucker haha woot


phil vs spinners

dandelioness is going to get his ass whooped because his weapon is still stupid

ko by the spinner (the good one)

warper vs amp

amp is another really fast spinner but on the off chance warper flips him because hes so low and has those spinners and everything im gonna take warper

warper by ko


diamon jim is going to win because when hes flipped he can hit him with the thwak and because he looks lower and is faster and has more torque and and and and AND

diamond jim 25-20

who has a weapon power of 14 honestly jesus christ good luck ko by amp because hes fucking rediculous

Team Blood Gulch vs. Team Toxic

It's not even worth spending time on this. Toxic loses because toxic.

Team Targeted vs. Team Yellow Alert

Oh god please let me win oh god.

1. Feedback vs. Exotherm

Philip is on crack or something because I don't see how Exotherm can do damage when my bar will rip his disc off.

Feedback: KO

2. Scorpion Bite vs. Influenza

If FBSDS could beat Influenza, then maybe Scorpion Bite too?

yeah right lol

Influenza: raep

3. Tank Mk 4 vs. Probot

Probot is an awesome robot, but Tank is a stat whore so Tank wins =D

Tank: 25-20

4. Eurypterus Evolved vs. Manta

I think Manta needs a lower front.

Eurypterus: UNDERALL

Team Misogyny Technology vs. Team Hunga

When Philip said Gunsmoke, I thought it was in reference to one of his stupid gay jokes, ala Rough Rider. Oh well.

1. Gudfernuthin EX-H vs. Underall

Gudfer needs to just keep smacking Underall away. I think he could take this.

Gudfer: sumthin

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

I'm not looking at the stats, but if An Albatrosses 4 armor can withstand Scorpion Bites 14 weapon power, then Hands's hammer is not going to do one fucking thing (re: Albatross gets his shit owned because 4 armor shouldn't stand up to anything)

My Hands: Wins because Albatross is gay.

3. F Bomb 3 vs. Ladies And Gentlemen, This Is The Death Composition

I hope Death Composition wins, because that means that I'm pretty much guarenteed a spot in the final four. Other than that, DC will probably win because he's lower and can flip. One flip is all it needs for FBomb to lose. (make better invertible bots toast)

Ladies And Gentlemen, This is: 30-15

4. You're Gonna Get It Dirty Shirley vs. Adreniton

You're Gonna Get It wins this match easily. I don't see how Adreniton can win.

You're Gonna Get It Dirty Shirley: KO - 0.01seconds

Team AC/DC vs. Team Animal Cruelty

1. Double Dose vs. Dandelioness

If Feedback got ripped up by Dandelioness without doing a lot of damage, then I really so no reason why Double Dose would win (other than a better RP, of course)

Dandelioness: 23-22

2. AMP vs. Warper

Scorpion Bite beat Warper, and that's why AMP would probably win too.

AMP: KO

3. Road Rage vs. Diamond Jim

I'd like Road Rage to win, but I just don't see it happening.

Diamond Jim: 25-20

4. JOLT vs. Sand Crab

JOLT is faster than Sand Crab, as well as the manuverability advantage. 'nuff said

JOLT: KO

My prediction: JOLT by KO at 2:28

Team Search And Destroy vs. Team Gemini


1. Smack Happier vs. Celestial Slayer

Smack Happier's little front wedge would easily get under CS, and from there it's just one flip to fight domination.

Smack Happier: 35-10

2. Pissed-Off Poltergeist Resurrected vs. Barrier

Even if POPR could get under Barrier, Barrier just has too many advantages to lose here.

Barrier: 28-17

3. Stampede vs. Striker

The speed advantage that Striker has is just too much.

Striker: 30-15

4. Hellraiser Hybrid vs. Phobia

Phobia has the wedge disadvantage. This one should be HH's.

Hellraiser: 24-21
