RMN BATTLEDOME! VOTING!

My vote:Irili, Ark, Newblack, and Versalia

There's no way in hell 52 bot could keep up with Wolfbot. The first time 52 bot flexes the shields up in front to defend, Wolfbot would sting him in the back via the scorpion tail and launch a missile point blank. If it doesn't do more damage, it would at least foul the mechanism, leaving the shields stuck in the forward position and greatly hampering 52 bot's ability to attack.

Wolfbot would then do what it does best, use superior agility to get around behind the enemy and tear its head off with clamped jaws + beam cannon.

Come on people. Low defense doesn't matter when the opponent can't even hit you in the first place!

As for the matches I can actually vote on, I'll look over them later.

I'd think it's more likely that nobody dissected the battles as harshly as they did in previous bouts. I'm sure I didn't!

I would like to see a condensed version of each match, to make it easier to compare the bots. It almost feels like a chore to read now :/ I'll do it later.

You give agility to much credit, K-hos, Dudesoft and I ran through several different scenarios over IRC. And your bot needs to get in to close. Even if it got the first strike Atac only required a single hit to take down wolfbot do to the THREE armor piercing shotguns destroying what little armor you have and severally hurting your health, and this doesn't even include the force of the punch he packs with it.

Rocket launcher in the tail. Already slightly elongated reach + Quarium Whips. Stun effect from shock kicks. Shotguns are close range weapons, and they probably wouldn't work very well after getting sliced up by quarium whips. That is presupposing that the ammunition required for them wouldn't trigger automatically in response to the power surge from the shock kick which could trigger the fire control, or straight short out someplace and cause a nasty spark. Just things that might have come up if I was part of the team running my creation through scenarios =) Everybody's bot is their "baby", and their baby can do no wrong.

I dunno, in fights I've been in, reaction time and reflexes/speed have pretty much been the only things responsible for me keeping my teeth in my face, and my back from hitting the pavement, more times than I'd really care to count, so I "built" my bot accordingly.

I've fought people who were certainly tougher/stronger than me and managed to "win" or least make them lose the desire to continue fighting. The heaviest blow isn't the one that matters, it is the one that hits. In dealing with multiple attackers at a single time, which is usually what I ended up with thanks to my inability to back down and certain friends penchants for biting off plenty of trouble for the both of us, speed and accuracy were the most important things in the world.

Probably just a disconnect between fighting on the street and doing something like UFC or Pancrase where it is more about being able to take a hit/have tons of endurance. When you're trying to get your friends out of someplace they shouldn't have gone in the first place, protecting a mouthy girlfriend, or keeping a "gang" from stomping an injured classmate into the ground, the last thing I worried about was saving something in the tank for later, heh.

I guess I just envisioned wolfbot as a street ready brawler instead of a robo-Pancrase type, my mistake.

Thirteenth Match: Kentona.
I kinda wanted to vote for Irili just because his character is the star of the comic, but I guess Kentona's bot is slightly better overall.

Fourteenth Match: Killer Wolf
While I think ATAC's 'shotgun knuckles' are a very neat idea, I don't think they are a free pass to victory. Wolfbot's speed kinda is.

Fifteenth Match: NewBlack
How did Rainbow Bot managed to get this far? xD No offense, but it's one of the less 'inspiring' robots of the entire tournament.

Turtlebot's armor plating I think will be the difference in that match.

For Match 16, I vote Turtlebot
