#Not really sure who to back here, to be honest. As tempting as it is to say "Fluffy will break off Propeller-Head's propeller", the argument for "Propeller-Head to grind Fluffy to a halt" seems very appealing too. That said, I will narrowly back Fluffy. While Fluffy's reliability record is awful, it should be noted that it took relentless pounding for Stinger to take it out in Series 6, something that most other opponents would struggle to survive against. Also of note is that Fluffy's record against spinners is amazingly very positive. Aside from its bad luck against Pussycat, it expertly took out Corkscrew and 259 without suffering too badly. While Propeller-Head is more reliable, I am not sure that it has a better spinner compared to the machines Fluffy beat, and it will certainly bare the scars if it is unable to take out Fluffy quickly. Therefore, benefit of the doubt goes to Fluffy for now, more so if someone can convince me that Propeller-Head's propeller will fall off early on.

#Gonna back Fluffy who by now has reasonable benefit of the doubt with reliability. If The Revolutionist could unwind Propeller-Head's blade then Fluffy can for sure, and it'll continue to cause key damage while the bar remains active. It will pack in later, but PH will already be disarmed. <span style="font-family:Pirulen; font-size:10pt">[[User:ToastUltimatum|<font color="maroon">'''T'''</font><font color="ff8c00">'''OAS'''</font>]][[User talk:ToastUltimatum|<font color="maroon">'''T'''</font>]]</span> 11:19, 26 September 2020 (UTC) |

+ | #When the weapons collide, Fluffy's smaller, heavier and more compact design, especially as it's supported on top as well as below, means it will come out on top. Propeller-Head's spinner isn't exactly guaranteed to fly off, but I can see Fluffy finding the armour of Propeller-Head and causing some proper damage earlier in the fight than PH wearing through Fluffy's sides. PH to be killed off by the three-headed dog.

Revision as of 11:26, 26 September 2020
Forums: Index > International Series 6 > International Series 6 Semi-Final 2
Defending champion Razer continued its defence with some dominating victories over Stinger and Rosie the Riveter 2. Meanwhile, Behemoth's redemption run sees the yellow and black machine finally reach the Grand Final, defeating Ming 3 and German flipper Tsunami in the process. Two British machines in the Grand Final, but the International cast need not worry, based on the quality of three such competitors here in the second Semi-Final, versus Britain's cream of the crop. Let's have a look at how they got here.:
- Bigger Brother dominated its heat, and appears to be well on its way to reaching the Grand Final again with the hopes of stepping on the top podium. Sir Chromalot was unable to avenge its Series 3 loss, again being flipped to oblivion, while Lightning Tracks had no answer to the Series 5 runners-up.
- Bulldog Breed finally proved it could win a heat, after two consecutive Heat Final losses. It defeated the ever unfortunate S.M.I.D.S.Y. in a close Judges' decision, before achieving a flip of doom to eliminate former US Grand Finalist The Revolutionist. A place in the Grand Final is within its grasp.
- Propeller-Head showed that its Grand Finalist status in Season 2 of Extreme Warriors was no fluke. ICU was torn apart by the American spinner, while the Belgian hopeful Philipper 2 just could not withstand the damage inflicted to it despite some resistance here and there. Perhaps another Grand Final run is on the cards?
- Fluffy, after its misfortune against Pussycat the previous series, ascended to Semi-Final status by outmatching the explosive Corkscrew, and the plucky Barbaric Response, taking both out in a few blows. It will be unlikely that Fluffy can win future matches that quickly, but do not underestimate its power!
- Black Hole has proved it has what it takes to compete on an international basis, the German champion defeating Dutch Grand Finalist Lizzard in expert fashion, before outmatching the well-controlled Probophobia and the dangerous Vader. Black Hole may well become a double champion if it can keep this up!
- Finally, Bamm Bamm is amazingly our only Dutch Semi-Finalist in this entire tournament! It had some issues against Buzz and Shredder, but the double Dutch Grand Finalist proved that good control and well-timed axe blows are all it needs to turn the tide of battle. Do not underestimate it, especially now that it will be carrying the Dutch hopes on its back!
So, LET THE WARS BEGIN!
