Two Super Fast Bots Smash Each Other To Bits | HyperShock Vs Claw Viper | BattleBots

[@digitaldeathsquid3448]

If this fight proves anything, it's that we need tag-team matches and Hypershock & Claw Viper need to be TEAM SPEEEED

[@so_qp]

I dunno why there aren't any tag team matches in Battlebots, i think it would be fun.

[@triv4555]

Tag Team matches would be SO SICK

[@chickens-yt]

Claw Viper and HyperShock vs Ripperoni and Monsoon

[@what-fw5vk]

@@so_qpThere were (emphasis on were) tag team matches. The last one was in 2019.

[@nutshot_brawler8466]

Tag team matches would be so sick, but i think it's more easier said than done, you can't just put two bots together and expect them to work together perfectly, both teams will have to develop new strats, there's also gonna definitely be new combat rules and a scoring system, how are the tag teams gonna be formed, will they draw through lots, or will each team choose which team they wanna partner with, what about international teams, how do you expect them to train with American teams, if they team up with one, will the teams remain the same, I think it'd be cool to have the same team for two seasons and switch them after, how will the fights go, is it gonna be like wrestling where one tags one out, or do all tag teams just go at it, if so, there's guaranteed to be friendly fire. Not saying it shouldn't happen but there's gonna be a lot of work to do before the perfect formula is created

[@AHYL88]

Easily the best fight of the episode; super fast and frantic, pretty back and forth and huge moments of awe! This was such a fantastic fight!

[@tomiwaaina5499]

Love claw vipers' drivers' energy. Aggressive and competitive but not in a disrespectful way

[@TheSuperPlayer707]

Yes, it's was pretty fun and it was in a way that encourage the opponent rather than making fun of them… not like others that threats their opponents of cheaters and garbage… (9_9)

[@ChrisbieCream]

Wow claw viper went up at the end of that fight. You see the flicker of the flame inside and the men ran in with the extractor hose

[@BattleBotsFanGame]

Alex's adaptability and strategic shift mid-battle were impressive. She turned the tide with precise control and aggression, showcasing her potential as a top competitor. Excited to see how she evolves in the sport!

[@RekySai]

Mate one of them major point categories is damage she's literally versus a robot that can't damage her I don't know why I watch these when microbots are so much more interesting

[@vxunaTM_xuandanhphan]

@@RekySai well I suggest you watch microbots

[@triv4555]

@@RekySai I wouldn't say Claw Viper couldn't damage Hypershock - did you see the damage it did to HS's right wheels? Maybe Viper doesn't have an 'active weapon' like HS does, but being able to pick up bots and ram them into walls at _that speed_ would damage almost any bot lol

[@AHYL88]

@@RekySai You'd be terrible at this with how much you underestimate robots like Claw Viper; there's been non-damaging robots in the past that have absolutely manhandled and overwhelmed highly damaging robots. P1, which only has a front hinged lifter managed to beat Valkyrie AND Hypershock in season 6 very convincingly. Heck in season 5, Mammoth even beat Copperhead and Tantrum beat Bloodsport despite losing its disc weapon. Even Beta won against Rotator without ever using its weapon once in its fight.

[@RKumar-tc7pl]

@@triv4555bruh she just had to run it’s face on claw viper whereas claw viper has a much harder time to control

[@mdouglaswray]

LOVED how the two drivers were chatting pleasantly after the fight, obvious admiration on both sides. Hypershock def got in some wicked hits with their spinner, Claw Viper did an amazing job surviving!! Those two are SO closely matched. GREAT FIGHT! GREAT WORK FOLKS!

Massacre matches are great for the hits, but these agility matches really keep it interesting start to finish 🔥

[@TheDarwinAwards_]

💯 I said "ohhhhh!" a couple dozen times watching this

[@nutshot_brawler8466]

There are two types of fights that make great entertainment, a fight where drivers display amazing control of their bots, and a fight where pure carnage and destruction happen, this falls into the former and both drivers did not disappoint, amazing fight. I was rooting for Claw Viper, Kevin got me so hyped, I was honestly hoping for him to clutch the win, but great showing, nonetheless

[@BanditSurvivorContent]

I actually think Alex might be a better pick to drive Hypershock versus control robots. She got some amazing shots off on a robot thats basically impossible to predict like Claw Viper

[@collinward1241]

Alex is just way better of a driver than Will.

[@denisloebner4882]

will always oversteers flipping hshock on its back. alex seems to be able to control the gyro forces a lot better

[@toxicdragon323]

Dude, Clawviper is just getting better and better even if it did lose. Hypershock is a tough opponent! Both drivers did awesome in this fight. I have to say that Clawviper is probably the most dangerous bot that doesn't have a spinning weapon.

[@markushamann3542]

But isn't it also the only competitive without a spinner.. Even maybe the only non spinner at all? (ok ok 2 Flippers which also loose too much) Sad development in the sport over the years😢

[@montelvontaviouspore]

Quantum would like a word about that 😂😂

[@ryanamburgy2791]

Whiplash:

[@FireStorm-se8kk]

Claw viper and hypershock are truly Battlebots version of The Fast and The Furious.

[@thehardie-boy3090]

This whole fight is a solid argument for exposed wheels. They were almost always making contact with the ground, allowing Hypershock to slip away from Claw Viper multiple times

[@conniee.]

Yeah, but the HyperShock team needs to think about protecting their bot's wheels too now that they can see the vulnerability of the wheels. 🤔👀

[@AHYL88]

@@conniee. I used to be for having wheels protected, but protected wheels also have the flaw in that the protection can be buckled in and jam up the wheels. It has cost some robots' fights

[@Turboy65]

It's also a solid argument for solid machined wheels, not conventional stamped off-the-shelf wheels. All four on Hypershock got DESTROYED.

[@denisloebner4882]

totally. i do think hypershock should try out the brazilian wheels though given that their rc style wheels are their biggest known weakness.

[@conniee.]

@@denisloebner4882 - Well, they need to do something, their wheels are getting jacked up.🤔😣😨

[@chuckec]

What a terrific fight. Claw Viper’s growth has been outstanding. And it’s always a pleasure to see Hypershock dialed in, that thing is a monster when it actually works as intended.

[@Asertix357]

Hypershock is the bot that got me into Battlebots when it took out Warrior Clan with just a garden rake. I'm so glad to see it winning this match, even though I love Claw Viper's speed and control ability. The robo suplex never gets old.

[@sodorcontries4322]

Alex is a very good driver if she drives hypershock next year it will make a deep run

[@thedarkergerkin]

That fight told a story, like claw viper was a boss in an anime. Dominated early then a great comeback when Alex changed strategy.

[@wristofkings]

An incredible performance by both Alex Bales and Kevin Milczewski in this rematch. Both bots looked as good as they ever have, with Alex's driving adjustment into a more point-and-shoot style stealing what looked like an almost certain win away from Claw Viper and its insane hit-and-run grapples in the first half. Easily the best fight of the episode, maybe the best fight we've seen in Champions so far.

[@Kryheil]

One of the top fights I've seen in the last few years. Great sportsmanship and an amazing fight. Really awesome how fast and responsive both C.V and H.S. were this slugfest

[@jonathanf2392]

THIS is the fight we should have gotten in ep12. I'm so glad we got this rematch. Action packed 3 minute fight, I was on the edge of my seat this entire fight. Hoping to see more of claw viper in future seasons

[@LazarheaD]

An epic confrontation as expected.

[@emp100k]

That was a really good fight, fast, lots of hits, full 3 minutes, lead changes, just very high quality.

[@matt6260]

Ah man i thought this time Claw Viper finally got it But still congrats to team hypershock and its really amazing that Hypershock and Alex are starting to blend well with each other unlike Will who driven Hypershock in years 😂

Whoa! That was next level driving by HyperShock.

[@shadow-scope-fsm7165]

When I first saw this episode, I was hoping to see Hypershock vs Shatter!, instead of a rematch with Claw Viper, but in retrospect, I think we got the better fight out of it. Don't think Shatter! would've given as good a fight as Claw Viper did here.

[@HAHA.GoodMeme]

You could see her getting better as a driver in real-time. amazing driving and coaching from team hypershock!

[@analog_foxy]

We need the best of hypershock

[@kings_nemesis5995]

Crazy to think how much damage claw viper could cause if it had a damage dealing weapon with how easily he can get to people's sides

[@hoominbeeing]

That's what I was saying. They don't even need a heavy spinner, just a durable one I see they have issues even getting a grapple with the current config. Whereas for spinners you just have to hit them At this point it feels like a spinner is better at scoring aggression and control points than a lifter

[@gingerbrick2263]

a spinner would make claw viper much less maneuverable bc of the gyroscopic forces it would create. Plus, a spinner would be heavier than claw viper's current weapon system

[@kings_nemesis5995]

@@hoominbeeing sad to say as I like how claw viper is still a true control bot in today's meta of vertical spinners

[@otr6239]

Claw Viper's grappling and top speed smash has proven to do decent damage (like against Ribbot and Shatter).

[@kings_nemesis5995]

@otr6239 true but I only say that cause of how many failed grapples he had when he had hypershocks side during this fight

[@toybarons]

Saw this fight last night and had to watch it again now. This is one of the best fight ever! Just great driving and ability from both drivers.

[@flaagan]

Claw Viper getting ripped apart and Kevin still shouting out to Alex for more and to keep going, that's some grade A quality sportsmanship. Dude knows that, unless he gets a lucky break, he's done for, and still keeps going, all the while encouraging his competitor.
