Votes for Pussycat
- Firestorm will win the battle of the ground clearances all the time, and can use its flipper to keep Pussycat at bay and pushed back at any point it wants. But how much damage will it take in the meantime? That's the crux of it, Pussycat's disc should shred loads of holes and slices into the front and side of Firestorm in every attack Firestorm attempts. They won't all work and Pussycat can avoid being scooped up with some good driving - after all, it only just lost to the much better Chaos 2. A close judges' decision that goes against Firestorm on damage again. Jimlaad43(talk) 07:39, May 2, 2020 (UTC)
- This a genuinely close battle, shame it's not the Heat Final. Firestorm can get flips in BUT this is the Series 4 Firestorm, it doesn't really have the metal stripe or the more smooth surface and if one looks at the Dominator or Morgue fights and see the damage done there to Firestorm then imagine every time Pussycat scrapes in, cuts into the wedge, chipping away at the bottom, making it harder each time Firestorm wants to attack Pussycat, Pussycat was also in its prime here and something i noticed was how the Series 4 Firestorm liked to jolt itself upwards, which only makes things worst for it in the long run...Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 07:48, May 2, 2020 (UTC)
- A round earlier than I would have hope, but despite the fact Firestorm 3 beat Pussycat, this was the year that Razer and Hypno-Disc would have lost to Pussycat. Pussycat will repeatedly charge in to Firestorm, and whilst it might win in a battle of ground clearance, Firestorm won't win on damage. Pussycat to tear away at Firestorm, which will give it the tight Judges Decision. Adster1005 08:21, May 2, 2020 (UTC)
- This is going to a judges decision, no question about it. The thing is, if this was literally any other series where these two robots fought, I'd give it to Firestorm without hesitation. We know it could beat it in Series 5 (and by extension Extreme 1), and Extreme 2/Series 7 just feel like they push the odds further in Firestorm's favour and Pussycat's blade wasn't that damaging in Series 3, at least not in the right way. But Series 4 is different - Not only is Firestorm slightly more vulnerable to damage, but Pussycat's blade is an absolute beast. Firestorm may get underneath, but this time it has to worry about all sorts of damage. I feel the armour will have quite a few scuffs on it. This will also help push Pussycat's aggression up to match Firestorm's, although probably not surpass it. Pussycat is always going to win on control...and really, it takes a high score in all four categories, with damage being what takes it. CrashBash (talk) 08:54, May 2, 2020 (UTC)
- The problem with Firestorm 2 was that its armour simply was not up to the standard of the time. Not only is the damage Dominator 2 inflicted worth mentioning, we should also consider the damage Firestorm 2 suffered that made it impossible for it to properly get underneath Bolt from the Blue. Pussycat during Series 4 and Extreme 1 seemed to have this tendency to just find the weakspot that would ultimately cripple its opponent. The sides of Firestorm 2 look particularly ripe for some serious damage. Plus, Firestorm 2's internals were clearly less reliable than in later editions. Indeed, the damage it suffered in the first round Tag Team Terror battle crippled it for the Final. Pussycat has the damage potential needed to secure a knockout.

- Nearly backed Nick’s logic, but I do think this version of Firestorm would take a lot more damage in the process. Very close, but a win on damage for Pussycat. TOAST 13:24, May 2, 2020 (UTC)
- This is the only series where I'd back Pussycat to beat Firestorm; a year earlier, the blade wasn't quite good enough yet, and in the subsequent series Firestorm had sufficiently improved to beat it. Here though, Pussycat is at its peak and Firestorm isn't quite there yet, so a win for Pussycat on damage. Hogwild94 (talk) 17:47, May 2, 2020 (UTC)
- In fact, now I think about it, if Firestorm had got the judges decision against Dominator 2 and then lost to Pussycat, the two robots' seedings for S5 would make more sense than they do. Hogwild94 (talk) 17:49, May 2, 2020 (UTC)
- I can see this following the same pattern as the Series 5 encounter- with Firestorm starting on top but Pussycat causing damage and finishing strongly, but with the periods of dominance shifted more in favour of Pussycat thanks to Firestorm's weaker armour. Pussycat cuts up the armour and wins on damage. Combatwombat555 (talk) 12:59, May 3, 2020 (UTC)

Votes for Firestorm 2
- I do agree that Pussycat will cause good damage. Firestorm 2's armour wasn't good. However, the general design is still there that absolutely dominated Pussycat in Series 5.p The general designs here are near-on identical to Series 5, Firestorm 2 getting its wedge scuffed up a bit won't change the fact that it'll still be easily getting under Pussycat either. Pussycat lost the Series 5 fight so comfortably, and it'll need more than a solid 3/5 performance in the Damage category to change the end result for this one. NJGW (talk) 11:29, May 2, 2020 (UTC)
