Calwings 04/20/23 6:50:36 PM #1:	https://i.imgur.com/V7KweNW.jpg The penultimate main event of the regular season pits the nearly unkillable Black Dragon against the undefeated, dominant, and polarizing Riptide. Black Dragon has never once been knocked out in any of its 24 official fights, one shy of tying the legendary Bite Force for the longest streak in BattleBots history. Can Riptide be the bot to end the streak and put it down for the count? We'll find out tonight. As a reminder, please put any discussion of match results under spoiler tags until 24 hours after the episode airs out of consideration for people who can't watch the episode live, especially if you decide to watch the episode early on Discovery+ before it airs on TV. Showtime is about an hour away. --- https://i.imgur.com/PmF1p9q.jpg <cite>Calwings posted [p:972972344] in BattleBots...

Got to be honest this line up seems meh. At least we got a beast in next week with Minotaur vs Witch Doctor. I think Starchild vs Huge is gonna be a bloodbath. Huge actually has a weapon, one that can reasonably hit Starchild's body.

Yeah, that fight sounds like a meme in the making. Ominous vs. Shatter being a battle of bots that both have omni-directional drive sounds meme-worthy too.

Calwings 04/20/23 8:32:34 PM #7:	Starchild vs. Huge was as ridiculous as I expected with ~~Huge absolutely mauling Starchild to finish 4-0 on the season~~, and unfortunately Ominous vs. Shatter was just "meh". ~~I'm happy for for Shatter for getting a win to avoid going winless, but I'm not sure they make the tournament.~~ --- https://i.imgur.com/PmF1p9q.jpg <cite>Calwings posted [p:972974368] in BattleBots...

Calwings 04/20/23 10:02:12 PM #10:	Well, fuck. Riptide ends the streak by KO'ing Black Dragon in brutal fashion. At least Ethan was actually sportsmanlike this time. He didn't attack Black Dragon after it was immobile, and he didn't act like an asshole in the post-fight interview either. It's something, I guess. --- https://i.imgur.com/PmF1p9q.jpg <cite>Calwings posted [p:972976107] in BattleBots... [t:80418701]...</cite> <quote>Well, fuck.

Mike_Xtreme 04/20/23 11:04:23 PM #11:	That HUGE vs Starchild fight was awesome, fight of the night imo. I'm sure I'm not the only one that was disappointed ~~Riptide~~ got the win. Sad there's only 1 week of regular season left.

ANort175 04/20/23 11:20:28 PM #13:	Back Dragon made basically the same mistake Copperhead did last week, didn't stay squared up with their opponent and one of their corners got caught by the opponent's weapon, from there it's just all downhill. Doesn't mater how strong or durable your bot is if you make a driving error that costs you the fight. --- Are we the baddies? <cite>ANort175 posted [p:972977490] in BattleBots...

PiOverlord 04/21/23 1:00:41 PM #14:	Honestly, don't think any of the 1-3 bots deserve to make it in from last night. None of them have all too impressive resumes. Mammoth has an unimpressive 2-2 record itself, but I could see legacy helping them out in getting a very, very high seed, if not, the worst seed. I personally think Riptide is going to be the #2 seed. Don't think they'll be able to earn #1, as I think whoever wins between Witch Doctor and Minotaur is a shoo-in for that placement. Really, really excited to see that match next week. ~~Here's to hoping Glitch can figure itself out, as this was a very disappointing season for sure this year for that bot. Was really looking forward to it this season.~~ --- Number of legendary 500 post topics: 35, 500th posts: 34; PiO ATTN: 6 RotM wins 1, LETTEN MY ARROW FLYEN TRUE <cite>PiOverlord posted [p:972987272] in BattleBots...

KFHEWUI 04/21/23 7:45:42 PM #15:	Underwhelming episode... Omnious, Horizon, and Glitch are terrible bots.
