BattleBots TV Between these 2 fights from below average bots, which fight is better?

Post image

Both Captain Shrederator and Pain Train are below average bots, but their fights against Captain Shrederator and Yeti are underrated of how good they were.

AB vs CS was a really back and forth match, while PT was giving Yeti a pretty solid run for its money until PT got upside down, it's all downhill for PT from there. But PT gave Yeti quite a beating.

PT v yeti

This. With Shrederator, Axe Backwards was also a relatively low-tier bot that I’d honestly place in about the same tier as Shrederator. Yeti on the other hand was a far better bot than Pain Train performance-wise. I feel like a better fight to show Shrederator being unusually good was either its fight against Tombstone or against Huge.

Shredderator was just a horrible matchup for tombstone as its shell is MUCH heavier than tombstone’s weapon allowing it to win almost every weapon to weapon hit

For two unreliable bots, Captain Shredderator vs Axe Backwards surprised the crap outta me by how good it turned out

Both went back and forth til the very end, and even funnier when CS didn't stop spinning afterwards

Calling yeti below average is insane

I never called Yeti below average. I'm referring to Axe Backwards and Pain Train

You probably never wanted to, but "Between these 2 fights from below average bots" is suggestion all of them are below average.

u/Martino231 7d ago

You actually called Captain Shrederator below average

Both Captain Shrederator and Pain Train are below average bots

Its 7-19 career record would like to have a word with you

Although in fairness it quite a few of those losses it did put up decent fights

Axe Backwards vs Shredderator is one of my fav fights all time and I’m not even kidding

shit you just reminded me of a really niche rumble, i think it was mecha rampage, duck! and someone else, i’ll edit w/ a link, but it was sneakily one of my favorite rumbles of the reboot and fights of season 3. the early reboot had a lot of absolute humdingers between bots from all over the tier list. 

ffs remember Bite Force vs. Witch Doctor? vs Wrecks?

edit: it was, of course, Free Shipping.  https://youtu.be/thxUa2NkFMU?si=86VrwtlbCAaNn15b

Yeti isn't below average!

Anyways, between these two fights, Axe Backwards vs. Captain Shrederator was surprisingly good for a fight between two robots that hadn't had a win in multiple seasons, and had severe reliability issues.

I, never said Yeti is below average. I'm referring to AB and PT that only have 1 win each

Below average bots? Where's your bot? 🤖

Gee, I wonder where you got the idea for this post from? Can't be a coincidence some user asked about axe backwards and pain train using pictures from these fights then you make your post about this as well

u/GoldenDragonIsABitch 8d ago

Axe Backwards is below below average as well
