    The best match so far this season, an absolute war between a seasoned veteran and a bot that's made great strides in reliability this year. After seeing this fight I completely believe Team Whyachi's claim that Fusion's horizontal is generating SOW levels of energy, it practically peeled Witch Doctor's front end apart. Not even Tombstone has done that much damage to it.
    It's a razor close decision, but I think Witch Doctor's functionality over Fusion's won out. In the end the former lost most of its wedge, its weapon and one of its wheels but was still completely mobile and managed to control the last third of the fight, while the latter lost one side of drive, its vertical spinner and could barely move. Proof that visible damage isn't everything.

      @Chris_Prime Před rokem +9

      But TIME is a factor. Just like there are games where you can win by time (Chess for instance), so too can you win by time in the sport of Battlebots. In this case, the cumulative damage that Fusion inflicted (within the 3 minute match) made the difference. In Battlebots, we have seen many, many other bots escape a loss because the time ran out. IMO, Team Wyachi deserves this win!

    @robitpower Před rokem +20

    Something that I just remembered and realized was that Fusion moved its vertical weapon batteries near the horizontal weapon so that the air being blown around helps cool it off and prevents fires. We actually see a brief snapshot of that shortly before Fusion's vertical stopped, immediately after Witch Doctor was popped up and back down on their wheels. Just a cool little detail I noticed that I think is helping Fusion stay deadly down the stretch.

      Well they had a tiny bit of fire for a second you can see it and it was the reason why the vertical spinner went down as the fire happens and a split second later the vert dies on them. Still they are much more improved last 2 seasons they could barely last 90 seconds without catching on fire and dying.

  • @askylibrarianoftheoceans4102

    A lot of people were saying that Fusion should've won, and that's a maybe - the score cards are on the Battlebots twitter page, but basically Fusion won on damage, mainly because he still had one weapon working (but only just - 3-2 for all three judges), and Witch Doctor was clearly in control, since she dictated the hits, while Fusion squared up making sure she only hit where he wanted her to hit (2-1 for all three judges) - it came down to aggression - (2-1 for all three, but Lisa said Fusion gets the 2).
    It's a matter of who's more aggressive? Fusion who kept hitting and hitting, and still trying when his drive was all but dead? Or Witch Doctor, who kept attacking and attacking, even without an active weapon?
    This was _not_ a bad call, it was a coin flip.
    What *IS* a bad call was on the producers' part - this should've been the main event.

    • @wisewolftony
      @wisewolftony Před rokem +4

      Think they got it right Fusion wins the damage. But Witch Doctor easily wins the control and aggression. Maybe if Fusion had full drive or at least one weapon still going at the the end they could have won damage 4-1. But with both weapons and drive down no way you can give them any more than 3 damage points. As damage is weighted with weapon and drive being the major ways to score damage. While taking off pieces of armor won't score as much as they don't impair a bots ability as much.

  • @BanditSurvivorContent
    @BanditSurvivorContent Před rokem +23

    A very close decision I'd have gone 6-5 Witch Doctor too
    3-2 Damage to Fusion - A bit more even on damage than it first seems; Fusion lost seemingly half of its drive by the end and the vertical spinner half way into the match (Horizontal may have been down too at the very end but its tough to tell cause it was being pushed into walls) however Witch Doctor lost its only weapon about 2/3s in, lost half its wedge and its front wheel
    2-1 Control to Witch Doctor - Despite losing a wheel and part of its wedge I think Witch Doctor was better controlled this match by controlling Fusion into the screws, was far more manoeuvrable and this is compared to Fusion at the end of the match barely moving.
    2-1 Aggression to Witch Doctor - While Witch Doctor was getting hit harder it seemed (ie. flying through the air) it was running at Fusion whereas it was either waiting for Witch Doctor to come at it or swivelling around to its more advantageous weapon (and we see this more when pivoting to its horizontal after the vertical spinner goes down) that, while good strategy, isn't a category anymore. Witch Doctor was pushing and bullying Fusion around the area for a good portion so I'd give it that.
    Overall a great showing for both robots that should make the top 32.

      This is exactly how I would score it. It was a really close fight, but WD did just enough to eek out ahead. What won it for them was that last min. WD managed to disable Fusion’s Vertical Spinner and were initiating most of the engagements which was definitely winning the aggression/control for them. Fusion may of still been causing damage with the horizontal, but you can see they are more reacting to WD rather than actively engaging. Then when WD managed to flip Fusion over and shove them into the corner and pin them… I think that really swung the judges decision in WD’s favor. You can see Fusion struggling to move, and Chris and Kenny are questioning this.The horizontal spinner is no longer spinning as the last secs count down and they aren’t moving. WD meanwhile can still move. Also, that puff of smoke from Fusion at the end was also not good for them.

    Fusions vert was not knocked out by Witch Doctor. Chris constantly saying that nearly drove me insane. You can clearly see that the vert is dead after FUSION hit WD. That means it shouldn't do it towards damage in WD's favor, as it was self-inflicted, which even the rules say doesn't count.
    So with that said, here's how I would score it:
    Damage:
    F: 4
    WD: 1
    Aggression:
    F: 1
    WD: 2
    Control:
    F: 2
    WD: 1
    Total:
    F: 7
    WD: 4
    Although Fusion was looking pretty rough at the end, damage should be damage DEALT, not damage SUSTAINED. It's an important distinction that I don't see made enough.

    • @Dysphoros
      @Dysphoros Před rokem +1

      It says in the BB rulebook under "Damage FAQ" that self-inflicted damage counts for your enemy. If you take any sort of damage, they get the point.
      Under Damage Considerations, it says "In general, the best way to judge Damage is to observe how the Bot functions before and after the
      damage occurred."
      Fusion did not have as much of functional drive as WD and both of them lost their weapon.
      Then again, you emotionally invested casual fans don't tend to read the rulebook but can write a whole essay justifying yourself to your own criteria, only taking note of the max scores and not the description.

    • @BigFatWedge
      @BigFatWedge Před rokem +1

      Really? They must have changed that part. I still hold that it shouldn't count. If your opponent didn't do the damage, the damage shouldn't count for your opponent.
      Also, when did I say I was "emotionally invested?" On right... you just psychoanalized me. If you have the rule book at hand, and you call me a "casual fan," it seems like a little projection is happening there.

    • @BigFatWedge

    • @BigFatWedge
      @BigFatWedge Před rokem +1

      My comment that it is hypocritical to talk about how I wrote a "whole essay" still holds. If you only wanted to highlight how I was just going based off my own opinions, that's all you should have said. But the fact that you did write it makes my criticism valid.
      Yeah, I don't read the rule book much. the rule book tends to be BS in places. What I don't think you realize is that the rule book is also just a collection of opinions, just by someone who holds more power than me, or the opinion of more people. I, however, am arguing for my opinions, such that other people can read and decide if what I say makes sense.

      Honeslty the judges decision made no sense. The points for control, aggression and damage are 3, 3 and 5. Fusion had more control and dictated the fight in the first half and witch doctor had more control in the second half. They were equally aggressive at first but at the end witch doctor had the upper hand in terms of aggression. Almost all the damage was done by Fusion, so even if your generous with witch doctor and give them 2 out of 3 points for aggression they would still only have 2 for aggression, 2 for control and 1 for damage. Whereas Fusion would get 1 point for aggression, 1 point for control and 4 points for damage. That all adds up to 4 points fot witch doctor and 6 points for Fusion. Idk how the judges decided that witch doctor won.

    • @badbirdkc
      @badbirdkc Před rokem

      @@steamytree7951 That's not how scoring works. Fusion had their weapon and drive broken, and they farted smoke, meaning something else internal failed. No way that amount of damage only gets 1 point. 1 point would only be rewarded if it was simple cosmetic damage. Witch Doctor did major internal damage. I think there's an argument that WD actually won damage 3-2, but regardless, it was 6-5 for Witch Doctor.
