Death Roll did way better than I expected. Once that wheel was off it was pretty clear how the rest of the match was gonna go.

That one sequence where Death Roll launched Yeti into the air, then it came back down and hit the disc again. That was one absolutely beautiful moment in a very ugly brawl. Death Roll is a monster.

Damage only counts against the primary weapon, right?
If that's the case, Whiplash should take it for control. And probably aggression, by default. --- Hail Hydra ... Copied to Clipboard!

Probably a better matchup against Tombstone though, but I really liked the uniqueness of HUGE. --- Number of legendary 500 post topics: 33, 500th posts: 28; PiO ATTN: 5 RotM wins 1, LETTEN MY ARROW FLYEN TRUE ... Copied to Clipboard!

With that durability they should ditch the useless hammer and get a spinner. It would be more effective at the very least

Lockjaw had the better performance, but losing the primary weapon might hurt them there.
Black Dragon also showed a greater ability to take punishment. --- Hail Hydra ... Copied to Clipboard!

PiOverlord 09/20/19 9:42:54 PM #86: |
I know there was a lot of smoke on Lock Jaw, but I'm surprised that was even a split. Other than the one hit, Black Dragon didn't really seem to do much to Lock Jaw. The smoke felt more of a self-issue than caused by Black Dragon.

Tombstone is the coolest bot of the remaining ones to me, but I definitely have enjoyed seeing Witch Doctor do its thing out there. --- Number of legendary 500 post topics: 33, 500th posts: 28; PiO ATTN: 5 RotM wins 1, LETTEN MY ARROW FLYEN TRUE ...

I'm just going to say it. This is the worst case scenario.
I don't think any of the other remaining bots has a decent chance against Bite Force. I said coming in that HUGE and Hydra were the only two that I thought had a decent chance (HUGE due to its awkward and defensive design, Hydra due to Bite Force not being able to self-right) and they're both out. I could see Death Roll maybe getting lucky with a weapon-to-weapon hit and knocking off Bite Force's weapon chain. I could see Tombstone maybe getting lucky and hitting Bite Force right on a wheel like it did to Quantum earlier. Those are the only ways I see Bite Force losing, and they both involve the opponent maybe getting lucky and hitting the exact right spot. But I just don't see it happening. I definitely hope I'm wrong. powerman1426 posted... Fight just ended and a tornado warning popped up.

NOOOOOOO! Not Hydra!
Huge got jobbed by the judges. I love Whiplash, but I don't think they even had their weapon spinning while they took shot after shot from Huge. It was nice to see Blacksmith get roasted like the potato it is. Lockjaw's win was a super exciting fight, what a great win. Death Roll's durability has matched Bite Force's so far. Will that continue? Who knows. --- All generalizations are false, including this one. ... Copied to Clipboard!

A little piece of trivia: I mentioned earlier that Lock-Jaw and Bite Force have never faced each other... but their drivers have.
 Paul Ventimiglia's menacing bar spinner Brutality, one of the bots responsible for the final destruction of the legendary BattleBots champion Biohazard, took on Donald Hudson's durable control bot Root Canal in the 2009 BattleBots final. This was during the time when BattleBots was off TV, after its 2004 cancellation but before its 2015 revival by ABC, but the fight was TV-worthy. It went to the judges, who awarded Brutality the win and Paul his first giant nut trophy. As we know now, he has since gone on to add two more to his collection with Bite Force. --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" https://i.imgtc.ws/ge0OXQz.png ... Copied to Clipboard!
