QUARTER-FINALS
Lightweights
Eudial [#3] vs. Veto [#6]
Damn it, Brian showed so much promise, and then doesn't show up in the quarter-finals. :( Hoping he comes back, he was really good.
Eudial wins by FF, and advances to the Lightweight semi-finals.
Cuddle Time! [#4] vs. Redline [#5]
Here we go! Quarter-final action! And Redline is gunning for any opening he can find! Problem is, Cuddle Time! is making that a difficult time for him! Wait! Redline's gonna do it! He's gonna - ooooohhhhhh. Nope. Cuddle Time!'s got him. Up goes the clamp, but Redline's trying to get away! Further lift, and Redline can't escape! Gabe looks around for the saws, but it doesn't seem he can get to them reliably... so to the hammers they go, and... well, Redline resists them rather well, I must say. He's getting hit, but there's little damage being done. It doesn't do much for Redline though, because he's still losing points. Anyhoo, Cuddle Time! is forced to let him go and Redline is back to circling the clampbot. He actually does succeed in getting around the clamper this time, and thumps him into the wall, trying to move Cuddle Time! to the hammers himself. Eventually he does, but Cuddle Time! only takes a few bargain shots, then squeezes himself out of trouble. Bargain shots... what would those really be? Two hits for the price of one? In any case, these were indirect hits, so they did little damage. Okay, back to the circling game. Which Cuddle Time! eventually wins again and manages to complete his plan of bringing Redline to the saws. Too bad they separate him from Cuddle Time!'s grip. Thing is, there's only time left for one last ram from Redline, so we go to the judges' decision. Yep.
Aggression: 8-7 Redline
Damage: 9-6 Cuddle Time!
Strategy: 9-6 Cuddle Time!
Cuddle Time! wins by a 25-20 judges' decision, and advances to the Lightweight semi-finals!
Middleweights
March or Die [#3] vs. Latvian Gambit [#6]
One's a 2WD machine that flips. The other's a tracked machine that lifts. So much... VARIETY!!! No seriously, you guys suck.
Well due to the nature of playzooki's tactics, this doesn't get really exciting. Of course, being boring doesn't mean it's not effective, because both of them get under each other often, but playzooki makes more use of his flipper and tosses Latvian Gambit around a lot, whereas when Latvian Gambit gets under March or Die, March or Die escapes relatively easily due to the shape and depth of Latvian Gambit's lifting plow. Towards the end March or Die gets lifted onto his ass and flops onto his back. Latvian pushes him against the wall, and March or Die tries to right itself but finds that it can't... playzooki is about to rage when he notices that the clock reads :05. Well, shit. Bad luck, Marti.
Aggression: 8-7 March or Die
Damage: 8-7 March or Die
Strategy: 8-7 Latvian Gambit
March or Die wins by a 23-22 split judges' decision, and advances to the Middleweight semi-finals!
Jinx [#4] vs. Suplex [#5]
Is it revenge time for Suplex or will the former champ move on? Let
