User blog:Toon Ganondorf/Top 20 Pittings

Welcome to Top 10

I'm promising myself only one more of these, and I'm going light on the detail. The name speaks for itself. Because its an off-the-cuff list, I haven't read around as much and that means no international entries here. Just plain old pittings from the UK Series.

Honourable Mentions



 * The Steel Avenger v Sir Chromalot - I wanted to yell timber as the tower fell
 * Axe-Awe v Granny's Revenge...and Refbot?
 * Kat 3 v Mini Morg - The celebrations of Team KaterKiller are infectious in that one short clip
 * Razer v Backstabber - Razer's year overdue combat victory was a neat piece of driving.
 * Crushtacean v Behemoth - Those claws just seem to get around robots unbelievably. See also Corkscrew and Cerberus.
 * Kan-Opener v Thermidor 2 - A well earned Annihilator title earned in the dying seconds.
 * Tornado v Terrorhurtz - though the battle was disappointing, the rocket fast pitting made Terrorhurtz look like a kitten.
 * Behemoth v Stinger - One of the best uses of weapons synergy I've ever seen. Shame it fell apart slightly.
 * M2 v Tiberius 3 - a terrific comeback and efficient flip-pit.
 * Wild Thing v The Steel Avenger - The way Wild Thing smoothly drives up and then nudges Steely ever so slightly into oblivion.
 * Diotoir v Sting 2 - Just because Diotoir was able to win a battle so well despite everything going wrong.

20 to 11
20. Killertron v Technophobic - The original pitting, smooth and efficient. 19. Clawd Hopper v Twister - The first ever walker victory, but a very long pitting process. 18. King Buxton v All Torque - All Torque beat Matilda in the Joust, and King Buxton absolutely monstered it in a pushing match, pitting it in mere seconds. 17. Behemoth v Supernova - I love that clip of Behemoth throwing Supernova into the pit. 16. Bigger Brother v Tornado - Brilliant weapons synergy. 15. Cerberus v Griffon - The fastest, if not the most furious. 14. Wheely Big Cheese v Crushtacean - Roger Plant finally learnt how to pit a robot. 13. Bigger Brother v Behemoth - Behemoth was completely outclass - thrown, caught, pitted. 12. Tough As Nails v Disc-O-Inferno - One of my favourites completely outclassing one of my least favourites - this one is personal preference as much as skill. 11. King Buxton v Draven - In my opinion, Buxton's strongest victory past Series 4, a neat piece of Panic Attack style victory. Pundits had Draven pegged as able to beat this Veteran, and I was thrilled to see Buxton so control the battle and earn its Veteran status, as opposed to being a "set-up" veteran.

10 to 1
10. Pussycat v Dantomkia - This one is beautiful for what it represents - the biggest All-Star (from Series 1) beating the least deserving all star (a newcomer from the previous year!) 9. Chompalot v Pussycat - Oh how I loved this moment. 8. The Big Cheese v Shrapnel - Shrapnel had absolutely no answer, just dangling pitifully off Big Cheese's big arm. 7. S.M.I.D.S.Y. v St. Agro v War Hog - The fight that shows that SMIDSY is one of the best robots never to get anything to its name, defeating a robot who would go on to reach the semi-finals itself. 6. Panic Attack v S.M.I.D.S.Y. - Of all of Panic Attack's amazing pit victories, this is the best. 5. Tough As Nails v Gravity v Scraptosaur - Vengeance, awesome efficiency. Easily the best qualifier. 4. Razer v Wild Thing 2 - Though an unbelievably easy battle for Razer, its stylish pirrouette and pit is a beautiful money shot. 3. Panic Attack v Cassius - Okay, I lied above. But this one is in a league of its own. Cassius got complacent or was caught unaware, and Panic Attack gave us the only pitting Grand Final in history. Seems very fitting somehow. 2. Diotoir v Tornado - We all loved this moment. 1. Bigger Brother v Hypno-Disc - C'mon, like there was any other choice.
