The REAL Fight of the Week right here! 🔥🔥🔥

@BenHeckHacks Год назад

I love how the RU-vid "Most rewatched" heat map tells you exactly where to fast-forward to :)

@evernewb2073 Год назад

honestly? whiplash has never been the best bot, while I don't usually like repeating taglines the thing that has made whiplash good really has always been Matt's driving: he's just that tiny bit faster to reassess to regain control to respond and to come up with a plan and he's one of the most natural people there when it comes to intuitively working out how things are going to interact between the bots. being able to know what is going to happen as a result of your actions is obviously important for both information flow and for what actions you can take and being that _little_ bit faster to get back to doing what you want to be doing is incredibly important in _any_ competition with mutual interference let alone something like a bot fight where almost every interaction changes how everything works, Biteforce being designed specifically for this was what made Biteforce so utterly terrifying to go up against and being good at it is what makes all of the best bots and/or teams in the field the best bots and/or teams in the field. it sounds dumb and videogamey but all of this together _actually does_ mean that with Matt driving Whiplash the bot is functionally faster more likely to win groundgame a touch more resistant to damage and just generally a tiny bit better in almost every way. whiplash isn't getting worse, the other drivers are just finally getting more competent in general, he's still _absurdly_ good at this but the margin of advantage that affords is narrowing.

@Dubstepper Год назад

Whiplash is also getting used to a total revamp, we know bots are usually at their weakest after they do a revamp (example: Bite Force getting beaten by Chomp of all bots after they fully revamped)

@evernewb2073 Год назад

@@Dubstepper yeah, you right. bad example though: that judges decision was quite literally the result of the judges repeatedly assuming that chomp hitting the floor was chomp hitting biteforce...or at least that's what they claimed. there really did always seem to be a lot of truth to the rumors that chomp got handed most of it's judges decisions regardless of what happened in the match: it's a _great_ way to vilify a team especially when they are represented as so fake and toxic, real shame too since how they actually acted towards other people was usually a lot closer to that time they stayed up all night to make Witch Doctor's replacement weapons than all those times the show made it look like someone was sleeping with the producers or fixing bets or whatever the heck other reason you (the audience) can come up with to justify things.

@rccc5806 4 месяца назад

This should be an instant do-over. I don't even know or care who got designated winner, it just wasn't decided in any way. Secundo, Whiplash "preserving" the spinner for the last half a minute warrant a big loss on aggression points.

@ryanbates3319 Год назад

Honestly I thought whiplash deserved the win. Monsoon definitely wins the damage category but control definitely goes to whiplash and I think whiplash was also the more aggressive robot because it just went at monsoon for the entire fight. Just my thoughts

@@ZeroS115 whiplash’s main weapon is the lifter not the spinner.

@evernewb2073 Год назад

and yet between the two bots whiplash was the one with more remaining functonality, you really do need to watch things a lot more clo...actually that's really not the problem here is it? if you're gonna spout an opinion about a thing then you need to actually give the thing some thought before spouting the opinion. you do NOT need to be an expert or even do a good amateur job but you DO need to observe, think it over, and actually form an information model to base that opinion on. to be fair I honestly expected the judges decision to go to Monsoon: it would be a _wrong_ decision but it's what I expected after watching the fight because while monsoon was more damaged (as in Monsoon had a significantly greater loss in functionality) and had done a terrible job of controlling or even being actively involved in the fight the damage that Whiplash had taken was far more *visible* than the damage that Monsoon had taken and they care a great deal about the degree of visibility of damage regardless of anything the rules say.

@kevinregan3224 Год назад

It's hard to win when one side has the reputation. Although Monsoon seemed to have won that one, they would have to have done significantly better than their (more well known) opponent in order to win. Fair? No, but it seem to be the BattleBot way.

@sinisterthoughts2896 Год назад

I don't know, they scored plenty of damage points, but did nothing to control and were not aggressive through the whole match. You can't win on any one bracket alone, the sad thing is damage is still worth more than either of the other two. If they wanted to win on damage alone, they needed a knockout, if that failed, which it did, they need to at least score some other points. Their weapon performed great, too bad they didn't go on the attack with it, then they would have got some aggression points, or maybe pinned the opponent, and got some control points, but they didn't. So they lost.

By not driving around, getting herded like livestock, and failing to get a knockout? Because that's how you lose a decision. Either knock'em out, or out score them, and they failed at both.

@Austin.Kilgore Год назад

That guy is so annoying… we don’t care you have a gf. Let her go. Makes me so uncomfortable

@sinisterthoughts2896 Год назад

So you get uncomfortable seeing people being comfortable with eachother? You get uncomfortable witnessing affection? Seriously, that is kind of sad. I hope you find a relationship where you can feel confident expressing your affection in public, and not be insecure about it. I mean it, it's a wonderful feeling I hope everyone can find.

@Austin.Kilgore Год назад

@@sinisterthoughts2896 For starters… SHE didn’t look that comfortable to me, in fact she sorta looked slightly uncomfortable. Second, PDA in general should be kept at the minimum, your sharing a space with other people… so act like it and be respectful of them and their space. Third, I’d argue it’s shows the opposite of “confidence” if you feel the need to things like he is. What it is he’s doing is he’s holding on to her as if she’s a piece of property, as if to claim “This is mine!”. Makes it seem like he’s scared she’ll walk off somewhere on her own or scared of random guys approaching her, it makes him seems insecure. (It looks as if he feels the need to constantly be letting everyone know “Hey, this right here is my gf!, We’re dating!“). Basically, there’s a big difference between showing you S/O an appropriate amount of affection while out in public vs whatever tf he’s doing… one is completely fine and the other comes off extremely possessive & creepy. (Now let it be known, I know absolutely nothing a bit those 2 or their relationship… I’m simply describing the vibe I got from seeing them a couple times in a few different of these videos. I can get a vibe from said clips but it’s important not to jump to conclusions based seeing no more than a minute of them together.)

@jonathanf2392 Год назад

2nd best main event so far, very close decision too. Funny how when monsoon appealed, it changed from split to unanimous for whiplash, totally backfired

@wisewolftony Год назад

Although don't really understand that as pretty sure it became unanimous because one judge ended up changing control to 3-0 for Whiplash which is like unheard of. Believe Monsoon easily deserves 1 control point as not like they were completely out of control. I mean even Shatter got 1 control point from all judges despite flopping around most of the fight by firing the hammer nowhere near Horizon. Like almost never do we see any team sweep control or aggression no matter how lopsided it is and this was far from being a lopsided fight in any area. Think Whiplash deserved the win hands down just not 3 control points. Can understand why Monsoon did it though as chances are their fight with Deathroll is going 3 minutes so really no need to hold onto it.

@jonathanf2392 Год назад

@@wisewolftony I rewatched the fight and before whiplash lost one side drive, I saw NO control from monsoon whatsoever. Even when whiplash lost drive, monsoon couldn't capitalize on it. Beta vs rotator seemed to be the only 3-0 control fight since it was beta 100% pushing rotator, but I can kinda see why this one was 3-0 even tho it didn't felt like it at all. Plus monsoon ran into the killsaws a few times, and you lose control points for it. You don't just gain one point for simply having one time or second of control, it's comparative. So 90/10 control could be 3-0, not 2-1. Monsoon never tried to flank whiplash or attack his weak points at all either, that probably didn't help

Lmfao, close my arse, Whiplash did nothing but push Monsoon around because it has more HP. Monsoon did far more damage to whiplash.

@SethiozProject 4 месяца назад

monsoon got robbed. monsoon is one of the most unique designs i've seen, but its biggest vulnerability is the angled sides. they need to mount forks on both sides, so instead of deflecting the enemy bot, it would pull it straight into the spinner. similar to what sawblaze has, but they'd need forks that would work both ways. if it gets flipped, then forks would be same. hard to explain, but i have perfect design done in my head already. with this design enemies wouldn't be able to push it around so easily. monsoon only has very small angle where it can hit

How did Whiplash win again???

@sinisterthoughts2896 Год назад

By outgrowing them, and being more aggressive. Damage alone does not win, unless it's a knockout. They outperformed them with skill. To be fair, monsoon didn't really pull any maneuvers, establish control or pin whiplash, and the weren't very aggressive. They just slowed turned and waited for whiplash to attack, that's the opposite of aggression, which they know they are scored on.

Please stop saying that a disk spins at 225 MPH. At which point are you measuring that? Its spins XX amount of RPMs

@bami2 3 месяца назад

It's the tip speed: RPM * 60 * distance from center of axle to tip tooth * 2 * pi = speed. This is because Battlebots has a tip speed limit and RPM doesn't say much without knowing the diameter of the weapon. For example Minotaurs drum spins at maximum ~10000RPM while Witch Doctors weapon spins at around 5000RPM, but both have a tip speed of 250 mph because Minotaurs drum is smaller than Witch Doctors disc.

@RandomAxeOfKindness Год назад

Good bout, but my main impression is that after all these years, and the arena hazards are still random trash. They've gotta just get rid of the Pulverizer and saws, because they're just incredibly unfair, and apparently they can't be made to function consistently.

@TheBarkKnight714 Год назад

what about the holes in the ground, in season 1 spikes would come out.

@sinisterthoughts2896 Год назад

Im.not sure what you mean by "unfair". Not arguing just curious what you meant. The hazards don't do a lot of damage, but that's so random chance doesn't frag you, the opponent has to work for a knock out, not just get lucky the other bot got land mined. They're there for control bots to score points, it demonstrates control.
