User:Hogwild94/Audited Series

OK, you guys may recall a couple of years ago, I published a Redone Series 5. To be honest, it was a bit of a joke; I left some heats the same, muddled the seeds around, included post-Series 5 robots, and just didn't really focus on making it realistic.

Well, since then, and inspired by the Audited Series that have been done here on this forum, I have since made several serious attempts to redo series properly and realistically. I thought maybe you would like to see some of what I've come up with.

The first one I did was a redone Series 4 in the style of Series 5, with 24 seeds and 12 heats. I am really happy with the heat line-up, and it's one of the few I've done that I genuinely am pleased with. It will be the first I upload.

I've also done a Series 5 the way it was, and a Series 4 comprising sixteen heats of six, but structured like the first Dutch Wars (three one on ones and a loser's melee). I will hopefully upload once I've completed this current series.

I also tried a small experiment with Series 4 and 5: I redid them with no robots binned/added, but with the structures reversed. The results were... interesting. Series 4 saw Razer and Hypno-Disc lose their heat finals to Stinger and Mortis respectively, and also Terror-Bull won a heat! But that was nothing compared to the Series 5 interesting results: Razer went out in the first round(!) (to S3 and Tip Top), and we saw heat victories for Warhog, King B, Terrorhurtz and Hydra! We also got some absolute joke heats (Hypno-Disc's, in particular, was the most laughable heat I've come up with). I can upload the full thing at some point, if you wish.

=Series 4 (in the style of Series 5)= OK, here is the redone Series 4 I did a few months back. It's probably the best redone series I've done so far. I'm planning to redo it with more robots replaced, and the seeds slightly readjusted. But, for now, here is my first attempt at it.

Seeds
Basically, I used the top 24 seeds from the redone Series 4 that was done on the Wiki all those years ago, only with Mortis instead of Inverterbrat.

1. Chaos 2 2. Hypno-Disc 3. Firestorm 2 4. Steg 2 5. Panic Attack 6. 101 7. Gemini 8. Gravedigger 9. Wild Thing 10. Evil Weevil 11. Spawn of Scutter 12. Bigger Brother

13. Razer 14. Behemoth 15. King B3 16. Wheely Big Cheese 17. Diotoir 18. Shadow of Napalm 19. Berserk 2 20. X-Terminator 2 21. Mortis 22. Pussycat 23. Cerberus 24. Aggrobot 2

Binned Robots

 * The Predator
 * Millenium Bug
 * Rambot
 * Humphrey
 * Wheelosaurus
 * Fat Boy Tin
 * Medusa 2000

Replacement Robots

 * V-Max (given that they were originally reserves; I left Onslaught in as an original entrant)
 * T2 R Special
 * Agent Orange
 * Dantomkia
 * Anorakaphobia
 * Typhoon
 * Big Pants

Heat A

 * Chaos 2 (1) vs Robochicken - Yeah, a nice easy one to start with.
 * Knightmare vs Milly-Ann Bug - As weak as Knightmare's flipped was, it'll probably be good enough to overturn at least one half of Milly-Ann Bug.
 * Mazakari vs Dreadnaut XP-1 - A very tough call this one. I don't recall Mazakari's weapon working properly, so Dreadnaut will be able to push it into the CPZs, and win via the Judges.
 * Aggrobot 2 (24) vs Tiberius - And another tough call. But I don't think Aggrobot's lifter is the right shape to get under a ground clearance as low as Tiberius'. So, the seeds will be pushed around, and lose on aggression.


 * Chaos 2 vs Dreadnaut XP-1 - Need I say more.
 * Knightmare vs Tiberius - Knightmare's is a better weapon to try and get under Tiberius, so Knightmare to win by overturning the opposition.


 * Chaos 2 vs Knightmare - Another pretty easy victory for the reigning champs. Knightmare will end up outside the arena.

Heat B

 * Firestorm 2 (3) vs Centurion - Shame for Centurion, but it has no srimech, so will be on its back very easily.
 * Vercingetorix vs Maverick - Probably won't include Maverick in my second attempt.
 * Saw Point vs Spikasaurus - These two fought in one of those comic strip fights in the old RW magazine, and Saw Point won simply by driving over Spikasaurus and cutting it in three! In reality, Spikasaurus' superior speed and maneuverability would win it the match, I think.
 * Pussycat (22) vs Plunderbird 4 - A really tough call this, but I'm giving it to the seed on the grounds that we saw what its weapon could do, and Plunderbird's weapon never really did much.


 * Firestorm 2 vs Vercingetorix - This Firestorm was probably the weakest of the five, but it'll still be able to overturn and beat Vercingetorix, which wasn't exactly at its best this series.
 * Pussycat vs Spikasaurus - Again, the weaponry will win it for the seeds, and Spikasaurus won't be able to do much in return.


 * Firestorm 2 vs Pussycat - Oh, this is so hard. This was probably the best version of Pussycat and the worst version of Firestorm, but we cannot discount what happened a year later. After hearing the views of others on the Wiki, I went with the general feeling, and am putting Pussycat into the semis.

Heat C

 * Panic Attack (5) vs Scar - Shame; I do think Scar was a half decent robot, but Panic Attack will easily get under and carry it around, and pit it when it can.
 * Clawed Hopper vs T2 R Special - Not quite sure how T2 will approach the walker, but its axe will give it the edge to cause damage and sway the Judges.
 * Splinter vs Sir Chromalot - Sorry to break the Sir Chromalot tradition, but Splinter will easily overpower it with its scoop.
 * X-Terminator 2 (20) vs V-Max - Oh, why do these two great robots have to face each other in the first round? I'm gonna have to go for X-Terminator (using the flipper rather than the pathetic axe), as its speed will give it the edge over V-Max.


 * Panic Attack vs Splinter - A good match this. It will turn into a shoving match, and I'd back the former champs to get under Splinter and perform its usual pitting maneuver.
 * X-Terminator 2 vs T2 R Special - We don't know if T2's axe could self-right it, but X-Terminator will overturn it repeatedly to win the match.


 * Panic Attack vs X-Terminator 2 - And so, the two old rivals meet again! Sorry Marlon, but Kim is gonna make it 2-0 courtesy of the usual pick-up and pit technique.

Heat D

 * Gemini (7) vs Arnold, Arnold Terminegger - Were this a year later, I'd say Arnold would have a chance. But I think Gemini minus the wheely bars would be able to get Arnold OotA. Shame.
 * Cronos vs Stinger - Crushers are not the right sort of weapon to handle Stinger. The axlebot will repeatedly whack Cronos until something comes loose.
 * Kater Killer vs Dantomkia - I don't think Kater Killer's lifting arm will pose any danger to the weaponless Dantomkia, who will be able to use its pushing ability to win the match.
 * Shadow of Napalm (18) vs Thermidor 2 - Ooh, dear.


 * Gemini vs Stinger - Feel free to disagree with this, but I can't really see what the clusterbots will be able to do with Stinger, as their flippers are too small to get effective purchase. Stinger will win on aggression.
 * Dantomkia vs Thermidor 2 - Again, one flip will win it for the lobster.


 * Stinger vs Thermidor 2 - Now, the difference here is we do know what Thermidor can do to defeat Stinger, but Stinger wasn't working properly when that happened. After consulting others on the Wiki, I am going to go with the majority vote, and put Stinger through to the semis.

Heat E

 * Wild Thing (9) vs Disc-O-Inferno - Were this a year later, Disc-O-Inferno would have a real chance. But the Series 4 version was highly unreliable, so Wild Thing will win this one.
 * The Creature vs Suicidal Tendencies - Why did I leave The Creature in and bin Rambot?
 * Darke Destroyer 2 vs Scorpion - Two good looking, but mediocre robots here. DD2 will topple Scorpion over a la Reactor.
 * Wheely Big Cheese (16) vs Prizephita 2 - Do I really need to go into great detail here? OK, I will: WBC will flip Prizephita over, before going after Killalot.


 * Wild Thing vs Suicidal Tendencies - Again, feel free to disagree on this one. But this was the best version of ST, and I honestly think its weaponry will give it the advantage over the seed. If it can beat Firestorm in ToastUltimatum's series, it can beat Wild Thing.
 * Wheely Big Cheese vs Darke Destroyer 2 - OK, this time I'm really not going to go into great detail.


 * Wheely Big Cheese vs Suicidal Tendencies - And would you believe it?! OK, bear with me: the fight will play out as it did, until ST's track cuts out; then, the House Robots will come in and pit it a la Kronic, rather than waiting for WBC to pit it and letting what happened happen. A clean and untainted victory for the Cheese this time.

Heat F

 * Spawn of Scutter (11) vs Destruct-A-Bubble - Spawn won't be able to do much to the bubble, but the bubble won't be able to do anything to Spawn. The seed to win via the Judges.
 * Big Pants vs Killerhurtz - Don't see how Big Pants will be able to pre-improve on what Hot Pants did. Killerhurtz will uses its own axe effectively to cause damage, and win on that.
 * Typhoon vs Banshee - Banshee is no Typhoon 2, whose namesake will easily overturn it for the win.
 * Behemoth (14) vs Reptirron - Yeah, moving on.


 * Spawn of Scutter vs Typhoon - I don't think we can accurately assess what Typhoon could do here, but we know what Spawn could. Spawn will ram Typhoon into submission a la Vercingetorix.
 * Behemoth vs Killerhurtz - I expect this would be a good battle. Killerhurtz doesn't like getting flipped though, and will take a while to self-right, during which Behemoth will pressurise it. Behemoth to win a close fight.


 * Spawn of Scutter vs Behemoth - And another fine match here between two good robots, both of whom could flip and push the other around. I would ask for opinions, but ToastUltimatum already did for his series, so I'll go with the majority there, and put Behemoth through on a very close call indeed.

Heat G

 * Bigger Brother (12) vs Iron-Awe - Bigger Brother wasn't exactly at its best this year, but it should be able to defeat Iron-Awe with no flipper to worry it.
 * Attila the Drum vs Onslaught - Oh, this is a tough one. Attila's loss to Onslaught (and Razer) in the Annihilator was mainly down to it driving into Killalot. I was inclined to give it to Attila, but others seem to think Onslaught would do better, so I'm putting them through.
 * Raizer Blade vs Killertron - Oh, and this is even harder than the previous fight. Good case for either winning here, Killertron on damage, Raizer Blade on aggression. After inquiring others, general views are that Raizer Blade would win.
 * Razer (13) vs Oblvion 2 - No need for opinions on this one, surely?


 * Bigger Brother vs Raizer Blade - Again, a tough decision, but I'll give it to Bigger Brother on the grounds that it had a srimech, and I don't think Raizer Blade did.
 * Razer vs Onslaught - Razer could've been in trouble against Attila, but not Onslaught. Even if Onslaught doesn't do what it did in the Annihilator again, Razer will win on damage and aggression.


 * Bigger Brother vs Razer - Same here, provided Razer doesn't break down again.

Heat H

 * Evil Weevil (10) vs Major Tom - Provided Evil Weevil uses the right battery this time, its axe will be strong enough to rip Major Tom apart.
 * Henry 2 vs Indefatigable - Two robots we never saw enough of, but we do have a photo of Henry 2's weapon working; we don't know how well Indefatigable's worked.
 * Mousetrap vs Weld-Dor - A good fight this, but the Mousetrap weapon will win here, whacking Weld-Dor until something comes loose, like it did.
 * King B3 (15) vs Ming 2 - Ooh, this is a tough one. I'm going to give it to Ming, as it needs just one flip to take out King B's lifters, and can then control the match. Shame to lose King B so early though.


 * Evil Weevil vs Henry 2 - Henry will survive a bit longer than it did against Dominator 2, but I don't trust its lifter to flip Evil Weevil. Henry will be axed to death like it was.
 * Ming 2 vs Mousetrap - Shame Mousetrap won't get a revenge match against Evil Weevil this time, but if it couldn't self-right a year later, I don't think it'll be able to here.


 * Evil Weevil vs Ming 2 - ''A good heat final this. Ming 2 is a better bet to get under Evil weevil than Henry was, and I'm not totally sure the axe will be able to right it. But, as we saw with frenZy, just one good axe blow on Ming, and it's dead. I'm inclined to say Ming 2, and other on here agree, so Ming goes through.

Heat I

 * Gravedigger (8) vs Hammer & Tong - Even if its flipper doesn't work properly again, Gravedigger should be OK here; H&T was never a really threatening robot.
 * Bulldog Breed 2 vs The Steel Avenger - A very elitist tussle this. I suspect the Bulldog's flipper will give it an advantage over Steely. Shame.
 * Tornado vs Anorakaphobia - Another shame, but I cannot see Tornado losing this.
 * Diotoir (17) vs S.M.I.D.S.Y. - Another difficult call, whether Diotoir be working properly or not. I'd still say S.M.I.D.S.Y. would be more aggressive though. A third shame.


 * Gravedigger vs Tornado - Same as a year later, I think. I doubt Gravedigger's flipper will threaten Tornado.
 * Bulldog Breed 2 vs S.M.I.D.S.Y. - Another tight call. Were this a year later, Bulldog Breed I'd definitely say would win. S.M.I.D.S.Y. is a hard robot to judge; its very nippy and an aggressive shover, but there's not a great deal else it can do to an opponent. After much thought, I'm going to give S.M.I.D.S.Y. the benefit of the doubt.


 * Tornado vs S.M.I.D.S.Y. - Despite S.M.I.D.S.Y. aforementioned ability, I'm going to say Tornado is the better of the two, and will be able to win this one.

Heat J

 * 101 (6) vs Bolt from the Blue - Same as the real match with Firestorm; 101 will keep ramming BFTB, and win a narrow decision on aggression.
 * Agent Orange vs Atomic - Despite Atomic's poor ability compared to its later model, I think it'll get a flip in, and and I don't trust Agent Orange's axe to right it.
 * The Morgue vs Warhog - Warhog will probably break down after whacking The Morgue at full throttle, like it did with Dreadnaut.
 * Berserk 2 (19) vs Little Fly - I suspect Little Fly will give a good fight, but end up on its back courtesy of Berserk's forklift.


 * 101 vs The Morgue - Another good pushing display from 101; The Morgue will be shoved around, until eventually it gets pitted, and 101 doesn't make the same mistake.
 * Berserk 2 vs Atomic - Berserk will be harder for Atomic to overturn than Agent Orange, and once flipped, Atomic will stop working, like it did in both its Chaos 2 matches.


 * 101 vs Berserk 2 - Ah, a good old fashioned tussle this. Berserk 2 will probably fare better than it did against Tornado, but 101 is nearly as good, and will probably be able to ram Berserk into submission.

Heat K

 * Steg 2 (4) vs Velocirippa - Wow, Velocirippa doesn't get a break even in the audited series, does it? First Hypno-Disc in the Wiki's Series 5, and now this!
 * Eric vs Crusader 2 - Oh, why do these two have to meet in the first round?! Sad for Eric, but I can't gauge how effective its srimechs would be, as we never saw them.
 * Small Torque vs Overkill GTI - A good old school fight this; think Overkill's flipping weapons will be sufficiently good enough for it to win this one.
 * Mortis (21) vs Inverterbrat - First Mortis pinches Inverterbrat's seeding, and now it completely trounces it in battle.


 * Steg 2 vs Crusader 2 - Crusader will dominate Steg 2 again, and this time Cronos isn't around to save it. I can understand that 1-on-1, Steg may fair better, but I'm going on what we've seen happen.
 * Mortis vs Overkill GTI - Mortis will be OK here; it will be harder for Overkill to get under than Small Torque, and its axe will prove punishing once more.


 * Mortis vs Crusader 2 - Need I say more?

Heat L

 * Hypno-Disc (2) vs Sumpthing - Er, yeah.
 * Reactor vs Terror-Bull - Reactor 2 would probably win this, but the original wasn't as good, so Terror-Bull's flipper will win the day here.
 * Kronic the Wedgehog vs Dominator 2 - Good fight this, but Dominator 2's axe was probably at its best this series, so no trouble for it here.
 * Cerberus (23) vs Judge Shred 2 - No srimech, so one flip will be enough to win this one.


 * Hypno-Disc vs Terror-Bull - Can't accurately gauge how well Terror-Bull's armour will withstand Hypno-Disc, but I still think the seed will be OK here. Terror-Bull isn't offensive enough.
 * Dominator 2 vs Judge Shred 2 - Again, Dominator's axe will win the day; it has a srimech, and Judge Shred's axe wasn't terribly offensive.


 * Hypno-Disc vs Dominator 2 - Yeah, without the sideguards, Dominator 2 will probably be fully immobilised this time.

Semi-Final 1

 * Chaos 2 vs Behemoth - Expect a good fight from Behemoth, but its too slow this series; I expect Chaos 2 will get it OotA.
 * Wheely Big Cheese vs Pussycat - A good fight this, but I think, again, Pussycat's blade will give it the advantage. Were this a year later, I'd say Wheely Big Cheese would win, but this version wasn't as good.
 * Panic Attack vs Stinger - It's been done.


 * Panic Attack vs Behemoth vs Wheely Big Cheese - I don't think Behemoth or WBC will be able to get under Panic Attack's side skirts, so the Series 2 champ will make it through here.


 * Pussycat vs Stinger - We saw this a year later, and Pussycat was a bit better this year, so I suspect it'll win more comfortably than then.
 * Chaos 2 vs Panic Attack - Again, Chaos 2 won't be able to get under Panic Attack's sides, so the champs will fall here, and through goes Panic Attack.

Semi-Final 2

 * 101 vs Mortis - The clash of the tracked robots, and 101's lack of weaponry will prove costly; Mortis' axe is too powerful.
 * Razer vs Ming 2 - Er, easy victory for Razer, surely?
 * Hypno-Disc vs Tornado - Hypno-Disc was a lot stronger this year than when these two fought two years later, and Tornado was a bit weaker; that flat front looks rather suspect. Hypno-Disc will win this on damage.


 * 101 vs Ming 2 vs Tornado - Tornado won't be working at its full potential after the Hypno-Disc fight, and 101 will be easy to flip around and possibly side-strand, so I'm going to give Ming the benefit of the doubt here.


 * Hypno-Disc vs Razer - The fight everyone wanted to see! I'd say Hypno-Disc was powerful enough this year to win this one; were this a year later, I'd say it would be much more closer. But, as many have said, Hypno-Disc was at its most powerful this year, and I wouldn't say Razer was; that would be a year later.
 * Mortis vs Ming 2 - And Ming gets its grudge match too! I'd still say Mortis will be able to win this one; that axe was more repetitive than frenZy's, and way more powerful than Evil Weevil's, so lightning will strike twice.

Grand Final

 * Hypno-Disc vs Pussycat - Yeah, lets kick off the final with a fight that's been done, shall we? Pussycat to get Hypno-Disc's wheel and immobilise it.
 * Panic Attack vs Mortis - And another. Mortis will win via judges like it did in the War of Independence.


 * Hypno-Disc vs Panic Attack - Lets presume Hypno-Disc will be fixed in time for the play-off, shall we? I'd say they'll be OK to win this.


 * Mortis vs Pussycat - So, the final! A tough call this. Both are capable of inflicting serious damage on each other. ToastUltimatum thought Pussycat would win this in his series, so, after consideration, I'm going to go with that, and make Pussycat the winner on this redone series!

=Series 4 (in the style of the first Dutch Wars)= OK, now that I've returned to this forum, I'll hopefully be publishing my audited series for the other users' consumption regularly again. My first redone Series 5 will follow, but first, an interesting experiment: Series 4 in the style of the first Dutch Wars.

For this series, I shall be using the seeds from ToastUltimatum's redone Series 4, available on his page.

1. Chaos 2 2. Hypno-Disc 3. Firestorm 2 4. Steg 2 5. Panic Attack 6. 101 7. Gemini 8. Gravedigger 9. Wild Thing 10. Evil Weevil 11. Spawn of Scutter 12. Bigger Brother 13. Razer 14. Behemoth 15. Pussycat 16. King B3

 * Indefatigable
 * Maverick
 * Mazakari
 * Medusa 2000
 * Millenium Bug

 * The Predator
 * Wheelosaurus

Heat A

 * Chaos 2 (1) vs Oblivion 2 - Again, we start with an easy one.
 * Terror-Bull vs Destruct-A-Bubble - Can't see the bubble being able to do anything to the bull, which will use its lifter and win on aggression.
 * Robochicken vs Aggrobot 2 - Feel free to disagree, but I think Aggrobot's lifting device will win this one.


 * Destruct-A-Bubble vs Oblivion 2 vs Robochicken - None of these three are very potent, but I think Robochicken's flipper will be key to it going through.


 * Chaos 2 vs Aggrobot 2 - Again, no contest; Aggrobot will maybe even go OotA.
 * Robochicken vs Terror-Bull - The bull against the chicken, and the bull's lifter will overturn the chicken to win the day.


 * Chaos 2 vs Terror-Bull - The reigning champ procedes to the semis with ease.

Heat B

 * Firestorm 2 (3) vs Mousetrap - Pretty easy win for Firestorm here, I would think.
 * The Morgue vs Anorakaphobia - Neither robot will be able to decisively KO the other here; Anorakaphobia's axe will win it on damage.
 * Mortis vs Agent Orange - Mortis should have no trouble here.


 * Agent Orange vs The Morgue vs Mousetrap - I can't call this. All three could conceivably win this one. I'm going to take Combatwombat555's advice, and give it to Agent Orange via the judges on damage and aggression.


 * Anorakaphobia vs Mortis - Anorakaphobia's axe will be useless on Mortis' armour; Mortis' axe will tear Anorakaphobia's to shreds.
 * Firestorm 2 vs Agent Orange - Firestorm should be able to overturn Agent Orange, and I don't think its axe is powerful enough to self right it.


 * Firestorm 2 vs Mortis - Feel free to disagree, but, provided Mortis' track doesn't go again, I think they'll be able to pull off a minor upset here. Its axe is far more persistent than Dominator 2's, and it had a lifter and better traction to boot.

Heat C

 * Panic Attack (5) vs Bolt from the Blue - Panic Attack might be able to get under BFTB's ground clearance, but even if it can't, I think it'll be able to win this one.
 * Scar vs Crusader 2 - Don't think we saw enough of Scar's disc to gauge its potential; we did see plenty of Crusader 2's flipper, which I think will be enough to win it this one.
 * Tiberius vs Rambot - Rambot is a similar shape to Mousetrap, which Tiberius easily bettered, so they should win this one on aggression.


 * Bolt from the Blue vs Rambot vs Scar - Again, I'm a bit stumped. After some consideration, I'm going with BFTB to win on aggression, and because, again, I don't know what Scar's disc would do.


 * Panic Attack vs Tiberius - Panic Attack should be able to overturn Tiberius here; the first Tiberius was easier to flip over than the second.
 * Bolt from the Blue vs Crusader 2 - Crusader will win this one I should think, as its flipper is more potent than BFTB's, and doesn't have just a few flips' worth of gas available.


 * Panic Attack vs Crusader 2 - Despite Crusader's aggressiveness and potential, I think Panic Attack will be OK here; Crusader's wheel slots look awfully suspect to getting stuck on Panic Attack's forks.

Heat D

 * Gemini (7) vs Little Fly - Horrible draw for Little Fly; that ground clearance is no match for the twins' flippers.
 * Attila the Drum vs Toe Cutter 2 - Attila always gives me a headache gauging its potential. I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt here, as I doubt Toe Cutter is a good pusher, nor its weapon to do as much damage as it did to Purple Predator.
 * Cerberus vs Eric - Again, a horrible draw for Cerberus. Easy flip and win for Eric.


 * Cerberus vs Little Fly vs Toe Cutter 2 - Another very tricky losers melee. I'm going to be generous and give it to Little Fly, based on light damage caused by its blade. But feel free to disagree.


 * Gemini vs Attila the Drum - I'm in a generous sort of mood tonight, so, feel free to disagree, but I think Gemini will struggle against Attila; not really flipable, and decently aggressive, so a tight judges' decision.
 * Eric vs Little Fly - No question here.


 * Attila the Drum vs Eric - This is getting harder. On the advice of the others on here, I'm giving it to Eric, as its flipper is better equipped for dealing with Attila than those of Gemini.

Heat E

 * Wild Thing (9) vs Atomic - A year later, I'd say Atomic would have a chance; but this version wasn't terribly good, and this is the best Wild Thing (IMO), so the seed will win this.
 * Tornado vs Suicidal Tendencies - Weakest Tornado vs Best ST; I think the future champs will struggle here, but feel free to disagree.
 * Velocirippa vs Charybdis - Charybdis can't have been as powerful as S5 Fluffy, or else it'd have qualified. But it should be good enough to knock out Velocirippa, which took just one hit to break down in both S4 and 5.


 * Atomic vs Tornado vs Velocirippa - Easy win for Tornado here; neither of its opponents will be much of a threat.


 * Charybdis vs Suicidal Tendencies - Spinning flywheel vs exposed tracks. I know which I'd bet on.
 * Wild Thing vs Tornado - Again, a year later and, as we saw, Tornado would walk it. But I fancy Wild Thing to stand up better to this version of Tornado.


 * Wild Thing vs Charybdis - Wild Thing stood up well to Hypno-Disc, plus it withstood Fluffy a year later, so it should be able to withstand Charybdis enough to win on aggression.
