company tourney

[Shark]

Naw, it's just that you've asked to be called TS for a while that it just stuck... I think...

Sometimes I had to edit out Golden and change it to Tailsnake, because I forgot.

[Moon Walker]

I never knew so I don't count.

Edit: That mech you have as your avatar is Sumika, if I remember right she was a Raven in amber crown back in AC Project Phantasma.

[Tailsnake]

I though it was a Custom Zaku

[Moon Walker]

may the one using the 'subject' enlighten us.

[king bun bun]

jac can u do this round for me. i have graduation tommorrow so i prolly won't be able to get to it.

thanks

[Shark]

I'm not sure what Moon is talkin' about...

It does more closely resemble a Zaku, doesn't it?

[Tailsnake]

well he was refering to an AC from the PS game AC:Project Phantasma - I've never played it so I wouldn't know (AC2 was my first, I got it because they were out of ZOE and I wanted a mech game)

[Purist]

Haha, the head is SCREAMING out "I'm a Zaku."

To me, it looks like this one special boss you have to fight in Super Robot Taisen. I don't remember the name.

Hi/BEAM v. Ominia

Grid 1: Hi/Beam
Grid 2: Ominia

Ominia started the match by furiously charging at Hi/Beam, as Hi/Beam fired and made three successful Karasawa shots right off the bat, with a Ladon shot shortly after. This is not stop Ominia’s charge, as it closed in on Hi/Beam quickly and used its two orc’s and Coral at lightning speeds, causing huge damage to Hi/Beam. After running out of orc ammo, Ominia switched to its two Peryton’s, only to find that Hi/Beam has retreated to the pillars for a hide-and-seek game. The pillars prevented Ominia from hitting Hi/Beam frequently with its rapidly-firing guns, but Hi/Beam was able to use the Pixie2 and Karasawa nicely behind pillars to bring Ominia’s AP down quite a bit. When Hi/Beam decided to come out of cover, though, Ominia had Harpy’s waiting for it, and that, coupled the remaining ammo on Ominia’s guns, was able to take Hi/Beam down.

Opress v. e-X-cetusy

Grid 1: Opress
Grid 2: e-X-cetusy

The two Cetus users started the match by circling each other and keeping a consistent range so that they can fire at each other from afar. X was a little better with aim, and was able to get more Cetus shots in than Opress. Although Opress was able to strike X with Coral’s throughout the match, X’s Ragora cooling system proved to be X’s savior, putting out the flames in mere seconds and ending the threat, allowing X’s to be able to keep from entering “charging” mode. Since X also had the speed advantage, it was able to fly out of Opress’s lock more often than in reverse, and that, coupled with its seemingly better aim, allowed X to take a huge AP lead. Then, almost like a kamikaze soldier, Opress thrust its entire body at X to hit it with a Coral and Cetus shot. But, since its AP was much lower and closer to 0, it proved to be a fatal move, as X returned fire at the same rate.

Romeo v. Skorp

Grid 1: Romeo
Grid 2: Skorp

Romeo and Skorp were able to damage each other consistently, as the AP counts fell at around the same rate, even though they were sporting different weapons. Romeo, on Lizard legs, moved around a little more, and soon charged towards Skorp in hopes to make its Skylla2 shots hit more often. When Romeo got close, though, it found itself trapped between the pillars, and was unable to get out. Skorp took the chance to blast its AP away with Spirit and Wyrm shots, while Romeo failed to retaliate with much. This proved to be the deciding factor of the match. When Romeo flew out of the grasp of the pillars, its AP was much too low, and fell victim to Skorp’s continuous onslaught.

e-X-cetusy gets the auto-advance, and Ominia will face off with Skorp in the Mirage Semifinals.

[ninja-cobalt]

Oooh, ominia, impressive...

[AtrumCustodis]

*bows* Thank you! *bows* Thank you! *bows* Thank you! *final bow*

[Moon Walker]

Oh shoot! both ACs taken down in the second round.
Guess I can no longer consider myself a Mirage Raven no more.

[AtrumCustodis]

?! Mirage wha-?

. . .

. . . oh . . .

. . . that sucks . . .

[Purist]

Atrum, Ominia's performance was quite surprising.

The dual Orc's plus Peryton (spelling correct?) and Coral proved to be one of the best and most effective combinations I've ever seen. Seriously, I repeated some rounds with Ominia and other contestants, and Ominia was able to deplete a crap load of AP just with the fierce firing of Orc's. On top of that, it's able to be lightweight and be an annoyance to a lot of th midweights in the bracket.

*Claps for you and considers buying you a few gallons of Pibb Extra to celebrate*

In other news, I think that carnage will be busy with his high school stuff still, especially since it's graduation week, so if he allows me, I'll wrap up the tourney for him. That way, we can start going back to the league (it hasn't moved..I know, I'm sorry) and also focus on the new AI tourney.

[AtrumCustodis]

Thanks Jac. Don't be surprised when You see one of my ACs do better then or worst then their counterparts. Your going to see many versions of Ominis and Ominia in future tourneys. In doing so your going to see them being the "Same yet Different". They are all going to have the same basics and purposes they will just go about them differently.

And I'm holding you to the Pibb Xtra offer lol.

[O-G]

hmm...i was suprised by both my ACs....my Design only lost to the Winning Crest design by less than 1k AP AND romeo actually Advanced thru one round....

[Purist]

Yeah....a lot of the Crest matches were close, like, under 1000 AP close. I was really surprised to see how all the AC's were able to compete with each other; many matches were just plain shootouts that went down to whoever got the last (few) shot(s) in successfully.

[king bun bun]

jac if u want to continue u the bracket u can. let me kno if u want me to finish it

[Shark]

...I have a feeling... the tourney will end with Jacques' ACs going head to head...

Perhaps I'm just a bit bias because I dont know what the other remaining Mirage ACs are capable of.

[Purist]

Alright Carnage, I'll wrap up the tourney for you. I have to go out "shopping" with my gf afterschool so I won't be home for a while. But I'll get the Mirage bracket done definitely by tonight, so just kick back and relax.

Ominia is capable of taking e-X-cetusy on, because it's got around the same speed.

I haven't done Ominia's match yet, but Skorp's going to have a difficult time since its on a Boar2...

But ha...Dark, I ONLY WISH. Seriously, I'm afraid of Ominia.

[AtrumCustodis]

*Evil Laughter*

You should be.

[Tailsnake]

The board is dead today

[Moon Walker]

well, the League isn't moving, so how'd you expect the members to move?

[AtrumCustodis]

lol I second that, I just put a post replying to OG in the Million thread about it lol.

MIRAGE SEMIFINAL BATTLE!

Grid 1: Ominia (AtrumCustodis)
Grid 2: Skorp (Corerekka)

Atrum's Ominia has risen through the ranks with its swiftness and awesome attack speed. Dual orc's and peryton's have proven to be a more than effective combination against many of the foes that it had faced. Corerekka's Skorp was an entirely different design, floating on a Boar2 leg part, and wielding a Wyrm and Spirit, adoption sniper-like tactics and weapons. Speed versus attack power, who will take this match and face off with e-X-cetusy?

Ominia started the battle by charging at Skorp and rapidly firing 3 or 4 orc shots. Skorp, although it was much slower on its hover legs, was able to dodge those shots by simply strafing left and right. Meanwhile, it fired back fiercely with its Wyrm and Spirit, taking nearly 1500 AP from Ominia without taking a single hit. As Ominia got closer, though, it was able to smother Skorp in flames and land two orc shots at it. Skorp took some serious heat and damage. Unfortunately, Ominia then decided to venture behind the pillars while Skorp was out in the open, and fired orc and coral shots into the pillars instead of its opponent. This proved to be costly for Ominia, because it had already gained a lot of extra heat from Skorp's shots and its own rapid-boosting and firing of its energy weapons. When it decided to come back out to the open to use its last orc shot at Skorp, it DID hit, but Ominia saw Spirit and dual Wyrm shells right in front of its face. It's temp shot way beyond 1000, and not using the Jiren at this critical moment, Ominia went into charging mode. Its hangar Peryton's became useless, and all it could do was jump around and fire coral's at Skorp. Skorp had a much easier time picking Ominia down with Selena shots, and after stunning it, punished it with more Wyrm and Spirit shots. Ominia was seeing its defeat right in front of its eyes. Fortunately for Ominia, it finally used its Jiren and gained its boosters and attack powers back, and went full speed ahead at Skorp. Although Ominia was able to pound Skorp with repeated Peryton shots and even a Coral, its remaining AP was too low, and could not protect it against Skorp's Selena + Spirit + Wyrm combination.

Congrats, Corerekka! Skorp has made it out of this battle alive, in a surprise victory against Atrum's Ominia. Skorp will face my very own e-X-cetusy tomorrow. So stay tuned!
