Still spoilers, blah blah blah whatever.

So yesterday's episode marked the end of the round of 32, and we're now onto the sweet 16. There only two big upsets for me, and two minor ones. To start, Stinger VS Mega Tento. This is the largest upset for me, all because Mega Tento won. Everyone in my family was very surprised, because Stinger practically owned the entire fight. Mega Tento did very little damage and did pretty terrible. Stinger hit them around all over the place, and actually lit them on fire. Somehow the judges decided on Mega Tento, which made me pretty annoyed. The second big upset was Captain Shrederator VS Chomp. I don't think Chomp won in the qualifying round, so I really wanted Cap. Shrederator to beat them. Things started out looking pretty good, but then Chomp got in a few hits and Shrederator started to slow, eventually coming to a stop. Chomp was also having problems. Miraculously, Shrederator was able to start again and attempted to take out Chomp, but one more hit took it down. However, Chomp's next opponent is last year's champion Bite Force. This leads nicely into my first minor upset, which was Bite Force VS The Ringmaster. I liked Ringmaster and was hoping they would win, but Bite Force was the better bot and beat them. However, Bite Force's weapon seems to not be very durable, and could very well be their undoing. The second minor upset was BETA VS Overhaul. Overhaul this year was much more likable, and they did well against Cobalt. However, BETA beat them to death.

Now for the two fights I was most happy about. The first was Nightmare VS Icewave. Now, I like both bots, but I really wanted Nightmare to win. They didn't show the complete fight (they just showed the more interesting parts and summarized it), but it was enough. Nightmare and Icewave fought, and Nightmare's giant blade thing quit working. However, the impact took it's toll on Icewave, and it was left unable to move. The second fight I was happy about was Lockjaw VS Brutus. I really don't like Lockjaw or the builder behind it, and Brutus is a very cool bot, so I was happy when they said Brutus won. I would have been a but more annoyed that they didn't show the fight had anything more happened than a shoving match.

Finally, the remaining two fights. Let's start with Bombshell VS Cobalt. I like both of these bots and would have liked to see the fight between them. However, the summary was enough ti impress me. Basically, Bombshell is a Swiss Army robot. In their first match they used a pretty ineffective axe hammer. This round, they used an adjustable horizontal spinner. Cobalt has an asymmetrical horizontal spinner. Cobalt's plan was to knock out Bombshell's spinner by facing backwards into them. However, this fit nicely into Bombshell's plan. With Cobalt facing backwards, Bombshell was able to get their blade at the right height and tear apart Cobalt. Anyway, with that, the final fight. Hypershock VS Warrior Clan. This fight was a fun one. Warrior Clan brought their drone, Dragon, and actually had a decent plan for it. However, Hypershock had other plans. The Hypershick team fitted a garden rake onto Hypershock, and literally whacked Dragon out of the air. I didn't expect the rake to actually work, and it was hilarious when it did. After that, Hypershock had Warrior Clan went at it for a bit until Warrior Clan was left unable to move.

I'm excited for next weeks fights. In the first quadrant we have Tombstone VS Brutus and Nightmare VS BETA. The Tombstone VS Brutus fight will be interesting because, well, Tombestone. Every fight with Tombstone is interesting, and Brutus actually proposes a threat to them. Nightmare VS BETA will be interesting because Nightmare is a very slim bot, so BETA will have to be crafty in order to win, and if Nightmare can get to the base of the hammer, it's lights out. In quadrant two we have Bronco VS Razorback and Minotaur VS Warhead. Bronco VS Razorback seems interesting since Bronco is, well, Bronco and Razorback has proved to be a very tricky robot. I'm more interested in Minotaur VS Warhead however, because this should prove to be a very interesting fight. Minotaur is very dangerous and hard to beat. However, Warhead has proved to be equally dangerous and very unpredictable. This fight is going to be interesting. In the third quadrant we have Red Devil VS Bombshell and Poison Arrow VS Hypershock. I really want to see Red Devil beat for what they did to Witch Doctor, and Bombshell has proven to be pretty dangerous. The Poison Arrow VS Hypershock fight should also prove interesting. Both are drum spinners, and I don't recall seeing a drum spinner fight another drum spinner. Also, Poison Arrow has a drone, and Hypershock has their rake. I doubt Poison Arrow would use their drone, but people make dumb decisions. Finally, quadrant four. In this quadrant we have Bite Force VS Chomp and Mega Tento VS Yeti. I don't know how Bite Force VS Chomp is going to go, because Bite Force has probably the best driver in the tournament, but their weapon might not hold up. Chomp has also proven to be pretty deadly, but since they constantly fall over, Bite Force may be able to take them out. Then there's Mega Tento VS Yeti. Yeti has shown that it is a very dangerous robot that you shouldn't take lightly, and Mega Tento has shown that it is easily pushed around and can be broken easily. I will be mad and upset if Yeti loses to Mega Tento.

Anyway, I've rambled on long enough. Enjoy the rest of your day!
