User blog comment:Toon Ganondorf/Ranking Robot Wars Upsets by whether they affected a tournament/@comment-2118191-20190127143209/@comment-2118191-20190128072037

And I've explained to you before, at length, why I didn't count (not dismissed) the Round 1 battle, but I suppose I'll have to explain it again - in the fantasy tournaments, the two robots are head-to-head, not in the melee where sneak attacks like the one Ironside landed on Pulsar can happen. It's like how Hydra was clearly all over Dominator 2 in the Series 6 melee but lost against it one-on-one, where Dominator had no other robots to distract it.
