Well, I guess third time isn't the charm for me in SHW (third SHW Final I've made that is to say), but oh well. Come on Jack Frost! Don't let me down!

Another finals appearance, a positive record, and breaking 100 wins. Not bad for a team of rookies. =)
Jesus Built My Hotrod is coming back for another run before the Wedge stat goes, I still reckon I've got a good shot with him.
SWARM was hilariously to play with, even if it sucked. Week 9 RP was fun. And defeated Tankasaurus Rex, so shut up Kody.
Cryoseism proved more effective than I imagined it would be. I may just slot him into my vacant FRR HW position. I may do something about that flag.
Murder Death Unit - if nothing else - proved that absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Oh yeah and 200 losses! Woot?
Anyway...
Zombie Killer: lol. Can't say I saw that kind of season coming, but I don't think I'll be going back to THAT well for awhile.
Harbinger: It was up and down, but I like the potential. I will probably revisit the design in the future.
ToC: A nice bounce-back tournament overall, and I'm already bringing him back for FRR.
Tali: So close... but this isn't horse shoes or hand grenades. Maybe I'll revisit the design at some point.

Uhm... 3 finals? Won? Everybody hates me now? Yay? woot-type thing?
Kite
My big disappoint but still did okay regardless. Going 4-5 in your first season isn't too bad, but he could have done better. I won't condemn you to Hell for that. :P
Luna
Finally lived up to her potential! But it'll be a long time before we see her again. Regardless, already got some upgrades planned for that distant future.
Shadow Zone Forever
41 wins?! Two titles?! 9 win streak?! A KO in a final?! Jeez, stop making everyone else look bad. :P Again, it'll be a while before we see him again, but unlike Luna I can confirm he will return for sure.
Teresa
The fembot so good I have to bring her back for a second try. Undefeated at 11 wins, she roars into Ruination, ready to punish the sinners.
so thanks to this tournament my line-ups have been altered:
Ruination 2:
Scarab
Solve et Coagula
Cutie Honey
Teresa
FRR6:
Airazor
Xianghua
Killobite
Fulcrum (sorry PA:EC)
...I'll go hide in the closet now. D:

I just don't understand what went wrong. Going into it, I thought Conqueror and Mamba would've have done rather well, but for whatever reason, they just didn't. If someone could just tell me what I did wrong with them...
On the other hand, I think I could be onto something with Decapitator- I was very pleased to be able to put up a good fight against Luna with it and survive, with 4 Armour no less. Bomb however, it did really well for such an old machine, and how I'd added it in as a last minute replacement. Still think it should've had that decision against Punch Buggy, but eh- it's long since happened now anyway, so not much point dwelling on it.
That notwithstanding however, I'm very happy with how Bomb's made up for the mediocre run it had last time, so I might look into giving him an overhaul, too.

welp
SNK: Did much better than expected. Needs a little something to go further, but otherwise I'm pleased.
WhipCoil: Finally made the playoffs and broke even overall, so definitely satisfied there.
Chemical X: No. Just no. Has already been given to Lian for him to work his magic.
Phantasmic Slammer: Still in the hunt for a title...

Seriously though, some pointers or reasons why would be nice.

Why do you need an explanation? Sometimes they just don't do well.

Basically, I feel like I need some of the pointers to better myself for next time. It's so I can definitely know what went wrong and how I can rectify them, what does and doesn't work, and how I can utilise all the knowledge to my advantage when I'm in there, and maybe win. A little learning, really.

What some n00bcake won three championships??? Oh no, you didn't.... :P
Interesting enough, Reflector Shield and Teresa are now both returning without losing the crown AND after their 3-title season. It's on, Kody. Prepare to be reflected!
