Finally someone who pointed that out! Thank you lol

Yeah, if Tombstone had been flipped the other way around, that minibot would have been atomized.

wonder if it was light enough to be sucked up into the weapon

@@zedlav915 Stating the obvious.

Wow congrats on not being blind. Musta been difficult to point out the shit we also all saw

This had nothing to deal with seeding, but they always set up matches like this that way new teams have a chance to beat really good robots

Slap Box had it right in the beginning....had Tombstone on the run for a good thirty seconds keeping its weapon low power. If they had a bit more driving experience they'd have been able to keep him cornered and unable to utilize that blade. The moment he broke off and they didn't immediately follow is when it was all over for them.

@@masontheminecraftpro173 lol yeah.

meanwhile in an alternate reality, the slap box faces minotaur

@@fruchtdrink8949 Or endgame.

So lucky Tombstone was upside down!

Well, the blade was too high for the minibot anyway

@@metha9987 that’s because it was upside down

That was nice of him though. Even the Grim Reaper has a heart too big to make a girl cry.

@@baalfgames5318 well actually he couldn’t if he wanted to because his blade was too high

Me reading this comment: 😂

😂

😂

Lmbo why is this funny

Me: 💀

Actually, his blade was too high up to hit it if he wanted to

You can see he clearly meant to hit it but being knocked upside down near the start of the match the blade was higher so couldn't land a direct hit, now why Tombstone has a good design of being able to drive on either side to avoid being flipped, should consider redoing the blade so it's more in the mid so it's at the same level no matter which side it's on.

@@Jarred-J254 Well no, that eliminates the possibility for it to get a different spot if facing an opponent who's defenses/offenses happen to be just above/below the blade. As is, if that were to happen, Tombstone could potentially end up flipped and the repositioned blade work to its advantage. Of course that same reasoning could potentially work against it, as well, but the risk reward of that happening is more favorable.

@@zedlav915 exactly

She’s lucky Tombstone was upside down, because if he wasn’t, his blade would be at the right level to hit the mini bot

@@zedlav915 I wonder if Ray knew that

@@BradleyBoy hmmmmmm

@@BradleyBoy from reddit Ray didn't know that girl was driving it, he would of felt bad if he destroyed it.

That would’ve been so sad yet hilarious. I would’ve died

i think so too

I think the fact that Tombstone's blade was too high to hit the minibot played a role too.

@@Bierstadt54 just let us believe

Or he remembered all the times Tomstone killed itself from the recoil of it's weapon.

@@MadIIMike when Ray fought bronco, he stopped giving his opponents a little tap just to be safe

put up a better fight against him in the beginning than most of the bots Ive seen

So true. Most of the time it is TS killing itself. It has been rare for TS to actually get out fought and ligit beaten while still functional.

Wtf is this? Where is chaos 2, razer, behemoth, mortis, hypnodisc etc!?

@@mattyy101 retired......

@@wishusknight3009 oh this looks like an american rip off but with way worse robots.. razer would kill that tombstone easily. Chaos and behemoth would eject it from the arena

This was true when he knocked off Gigabytes top and the guy panicked trying to tapout. Ray yells over "STOP MOVING RON!" and ray backed off.. It was comical but also very sportsman.

What are some examples of when he DOES destroy a bot? For scientific purposes of course.

@@matthiasfikre6519 i think it was gigabyte where he kept telling the guy, "quit moving man, quit moving".

@@gilligan369 A quote from battlebots wiki "Tombstone got the award of most destructive robot as it destroyed Counter Revolution, Radioactive, Witch Doctor and Bronco" The one against counterrevolution was quite gory. But Radioactive was really comical.

@@matthiasfikre6519 season 2 final against bombshell or his early matches in the ABC seasons

im sure ray heard it too and backed off lets be fair, he could have done way more damage if he wanted

😂🤣

Unfortunately, I'd say slap box isn't durable enough for a wedge bot (not their fault, the team is really new so can't blame them). Her wheels and side wedges came off in 1 hit, tombstone would have much more trouble taking the wheels off bots like witch doctor and yeti.

He couldn’t if he wanted to though

@@zedlav915 Just let the joke be man. No offence

@@axell15thewispmaster51 all good

@@zedlav915 alright. But just so you know, Tombstone could easily crush the mini-bot with its tires.

@@axell15thewispmaster51 Possibly, its 250 pounds so...

For some reason, I can't help but feel sad and laugh at the same time at that moment. Maybe I'm just glad that Ray showed some mercy.

@@baalfgames5318 He meant to hit it but couldn't hit it cause the blade was too high from being upside down, shame honestly, would have been a good way to end the battle making that girl possibly breakdown.

@@Jarred-J254 You want to watch the world burn don't you

*for now*

Thank you!!🎉🥰

@@deanavaldez2858 You’re Welcome! 😊

@@zedlav915 imagine if tombstone vs perfect Phoenix actually happened

@@billcipher6973 unless it’s a grudge Match, probably won’t

@@zedlav915 but if did happen they would show great sportsmanship

yeah, he is just playing the villain

And done what?? It has no weapon

@@masternoob9673 he could’ve thrown him up on the screws

@@masternoob9673 it actually does, it’s a lifter, you can see it work at 0:35.

I honestly was thinking this could have gone either way

so just about every tombstone fight?

tombstone has never fought icewave has he?

@@stuarthough8440 no he hasn’t. But I’m just saying. What if Tombstone breaks huge in half?

@@sonicthehedgehog2745 i dont think he'd break huge in half as the centre of huge where his blade is is too high only knocking his wheel off would b the only way to stop huge like that

Closest thing was HUGE taking on Son of Whyachi with wheels the team bragged were indestructible. Unfortunately for them, Whyachi proved nothing is indestructible.

@SoulBanner_330 is it common to do so when the tournament hasn't actually started though? I don't follow many tournament sports. Thanks for no spoilers

Yes it is, many low tier competitors are given higher tier competitors, that way they have a chance to prove they can beat serious competition, you have to be able to fight everyone to win the Giant Nut

@@zedlav915 Glitch just did it this season, beating a freaking Hydra of all bots xD

@@lewycraft Yeah, but I wasn’t too impressed with it. All I’ve really seen from it so far is it kinda swerving around the box and hope they hit something, which they just happened to do in their last two fights. But what happens when they fight someone like Whiplash or Tantrum, who are both really low to the ground and insanely durable?

chomp, a low tier bot beat an undefeatable battlebot no one managed to ever beat

She’s lucky he was upside down

But protected tires can cause other complications such as selfriting issues or the wheel guards pinning the wheels when hit.

End game was just lucky

@@dota2live191 considering what happened in their fight against bloodsport, yeah

@@dota2live191 even if they hadn’t thrown Tombstone out of the arena, I think they would have won. They did get lucky that tombstone got stuck on the side

Ah a crossout player eh? Good to see some still playing.

@@snowrider289 it's getting smaller every year it seems they keep changing perks like damn stop nerfing everything.

So was I, because Slapbox is very fast and has a big wedge

@@zedlav915 do you think he will make into championship

@@billcipher6973 yes, but with a lower seed

@@zedlav915 that's good but I think uppercut is gonna a top 4 seed

@@billcipher6973 uppercut is exactly the #4 seed

He was upside down so his blade was too high

You monster!

Watching a little bit imitate a baseball would be great, but yes, blade too high...

Which camera . _.

that would be a cool tool to have in his box, the big issue though, is that shear kinetic energy the blade has, its effectively a massive Gyro, that why in some of the fights when Tombstone gets launched it kinda seams to hover basically, when the blade is at full speed, Tombstone is near impossible to flip, even if you do launch it

Low seed vs high seed is extremely common in pre and early tournaments. The same is done in college sports all over. Are you sure they're not just doing what most sports brackets do?

@@Krugis this wasn't a tournament fight, this was the second fight of the season of a bot who has never fought before against a bot who has won a giant nut and has like 2 decades of experience under his belt

@@SomeWouldSayImNotExactlyEthan did you miss me mentioning it's common in pre-tourney too? The only difference between this and normal sports is that a bot dies instead of somebody's ego. I guess I can understand people not linking it and / or not knowing it is common practice in sporting, it does seem mean spirited
