Alternate Series 7 Grand Final

SMIDSY vs Ripper: I disagree, if anything, this match will go like Bigger Brother vs Tornado. Ripper's huge flipper will just be persistently flipping SMIDSY the whole time, if Atmoic could get under, then so can Ripper. SMIDSY might be fast, but it's not the elite class of drivers like Razer or Tornado, it can't be reasonably expected to avoid broadsiding for a full five minutes. And Ripper can OOTA, remember the annihilator? For whatever reason they decided not to finish off Ewe 2 when it was hanging on the wall, but there's no doubt in my mind that they could have.

Tsunami vs Spawn Again: It's hard to gauge a flipper's ground clearance abilities when it never fought any other flippers. Both are fast robots that could OOTA the other, but I think Spawn again has the edge because it's less likely to flip itself on a misfire, and can score an OOTA further away from the barrier.
