SBFC219 - Megabots vs Suidobashi

[@1dayago843]

If Woolie was presented with a button and was told that if that button was pushed, the whole world and society as we know it will be nuked and be replaced with a world where mecha duels reign supreme, you know Woolie would push the button ten times the moment they said "mecha".

[@angelon3637]

Watch Woolie's Twitch fanfic be more hype than the actual fight

[@jamg25]

This is Woolie's equivalent of Liam's Real Life Katawa Shoujo.

[@keyblade126]

Boy are you so not wrong about that...

[@andrei11dr97]

Mega Mix Jam I don't even remember that moment but that sounds awesome!

[@luumoo4144]

You think that would be easy to remember. I sure don't

[@Revan058]

Andrei11 Dr Man vs Wild, Part 4. Start at 7 minutes in.

[@angelon3637]

Post fight update: on one hand it was staged but on the other hand, your timeline has been enhaced with robot pro wrestling now. I want Woolie's dumbass kayfabe necromancer robot to be the Kane.

[@GuyUWishUWere]

That first fight felt real. The next fight was definitely "we need to actually show what these things can do".

[@Dirtyboots3strikes]

No wonder. I thought the machine gun paintball shots from Kuratas was an exercise in futility.

[@MarbleVirus]

E N G E L S We live in the timeline where pro wrestling featuring giant robots is a reality, this is the world we live in now and it is WONDERFUL

[@andrei11dr97]

We're getting closer and closer to G Gundam so I'm down with that

[@orpenq]

"the father kid is dying and everyone is like L O L Kappa" that part killed me xD

[@harlannguyen4048]

When in the video?

[@andrei11dr97]

18:48

[@joycehayes1454]

LOL

[@joycehayes1454]

OhMyDog! X'D

[@joycehayes1454]

OhMyDog! X'D

[@noellesato311]

I'm sure the chainsaw was supposed to go farther into the arm of the Suidobashi mech but somebody heard this podcast and was worried that the mech-fight revenge-story Woolieverse might have become real. That chainsaw might have gone too far and a child in Japan might have clenched his fist. Suidobashi is not ready to make a mech GOOD ENOUGH FOR A PILOT OF *SUCH INCREDIBLE SKILL* WHILE BEING FUNDED ONLY BY *TWITCH BITS.* ....Then the father-avenger-kid-mech has a biblethump on its shotgun/pile-bunker fist. It's an advance mecha with extremely fine motor movement but it does that same raise, turn, and running punch from the first round of our current battle to the avenging battle in the future. Except instead of knocking down the Megabots mech, the fist clicks, the pile-bunker cocks and in a single moment and with a single shell, the Megabots mech is removed from reality. It is knocked down straight to robot hell.

[@CloudyDaze]

Rocco Sato I kinda want this anyway because even though this whole thing was staged the tears felt real

[@DarkZedCannon]

Tractor pulls are the best! totally worth a watch

[@PatchtheReaper99]

I want Suidobashi to return every subsequent fight, slightly more upgraded than last time, to try and beat that year's winner then eventually change its name to Bashinet.

[@Gojiro7]

give woolie even a tiny slice of dumb anime shit happening in real life and he gets scary all in......god I love him, I will die a happy man if I can get a fist bump from him at a con or something.

[@elijahnakumura4375]

Tractor pulls are fucking great. They do em with the bigass trucks down here in the South

[@roguespartan345]

The only cool parts of that fight? The American mech spinning the lighting rig like a dual light saber to block the Japanese paintballs. Second? The American chainsaw designed to cut through rocks cutting into the Japanese mechs armor while the Japanese dude is just sitting in the cockpit contemplating how he's going to be doing hara-kiri.

[@myman8336]

I wish the Kuratas fired metal BB guns instead of those tiny paintballs. It was cool to see it splat on the beam as Mk lll deflected it, but I wanna see sparks. Plus, the bot won't get destroyed. ':/

[@KH-uu2sn]

Listening to this after the event and the clusterfuck it turned into is fucking hilarious.

[@wendellstephens6311]

It was slow and a bit anti-climatic, but it was pretty cool to see. If were at this basic level now, then we can go way further in the picture.

[@TheTexasDice]

That was one of the funniest dumbfuckeries I have ever heard. When I listened to that bit about the backstory and twitch while sitting in the train, I tried so hard not to lose my shit in front of like 30 people (girls were watching too).

[@goodvillain1015]

MEDABOTS! Oh, I read that wrong/

[@PainCausingSamurai]

Goodvillain 101 MedaBeeeeee!

[@Wolfsbane101]

LOL plague and woolies backstories and hypotheticals made me lose my shit

[@solissnow6857]

It was only a matter of time till they talked about this.

[@FallinRobyn]

Oh crap, that's happening today. Damn, well thanks for the upload then.

[@chasewilson3693]

it was staged though, which I guess means we are entering an era of giant robot pro-wrestling....strange that I am not hating this.

[@thelegoman524]

The fight was cool if you were prepared for it not to look like Gundam or Mech-Warrior.

[@SteveJonesGamingGWO]

"Oh dude I think he's dead! Pogchamp!"

[@magnumbadguy9354]

Oh my god if someone's father dies on twitch I'll be super hyped.

[@mothyeagle6358]

12:27 He called it

[@Dirtyboots3strikes]

As someone who actually hated and didn't want this robot fight to happen(because all I thought when I saw Megabots challenging Suidobashi was "Why are they challenging what's considered an art piece statue that moves? To stroke their egos?"), I thought it was alright. And I'm saying this as a huge robot aficionado. EDIT: You know what? I take that back. If that 2nd and 3rd fight was staged, then blegh.

[@justwungo]

I wanna see a faint shadow of a silver mask and helmet over blonde hair on Suidobashi's front

[@joycehayes1454]

The Stakes should be that if one Team wins they get to take the other Team's Mecha either destroying it or taking it with them to built upon the Mecha that won the fight l

[@andrei11dr97]

You know what? I expected a shit show but it was more fine then I thought is gona be. I thought one of them isn't even gona start up and the oder one just slowly comes tords him and just kinda bumbs into him and wins by knocking him down but it was fine Of course chest lasers , giant fier balls, battle axes and finfanels whold have made it beter but wat do you want?

[@zeterzero4356]

Why does the theoretical eye patch pilot got to be evil? Plague's idea sounds way more interesting and, ya know, hopeful. Ish. Hopefulish.

[@joshuataylor4028]

Hey they were right

[@Sapheiorus]

Next time they host a mecha competition... I expect them to be capable of at least STRAFING. Or WALKING. Also, bring some REAL Newtypes and MechWarriors instead of people fiddling in one place and not making the most of their mobility and tactical options.

[@RoastedPheasant]

Was it good?

[@andrei11dr97]

Here's a tip the fight is way cooler if you play Fier Wars or HEATS in the background

[@harlannguyen4048]

Andrei11 Deoasca someone should make an edited version like that.

[@toddvogel8887]

I would love to live in a world with Mecha Combat, but i know that it'll never happen or only be in small events because Mecha are so expensive and impractical.

[@Dirtyboots3strikes]

The same can be said of the early 1900s when the thought of a flying aircraft was laughably stupid. And look where we are now. Jet fighters and UAVs in the sky. Who's to say this might never happen just because of "Oh, it'll be impractical"? I keep hearing this damn phrase being thrown around like a mantra for something that might not be possible in this century, but might become a reality in the future. Who knows?

[@attackofthecopyrightbots]

plague louder than everyone else

[@bigbossfan6412]

one of these robots better get wiped out

[@Henners]

“Tiny” battlebots are like 250lbs lol...

[@walder6014]

I JUST watched it... I couldn't even finish it. I'm fucking disappointing. I see generic build from scrap-heap shows pull this shit off better.

[@trustedgundam1353]

Last two matches were rigged as hell T_T

[@Atlanti97]

The whole thing was rigged

[@heavyc4450]

yep. iron glory didn't even bother to dodge or retreat to get more time to shoot. guns just suddenly not working. It was a goddamn disaster. the poor suidobashi robot got rekt in a scripted fight and the guy knew, he KNEW the only moment he would get his wins is the megaton punch (BIONIC ARM) and that drone (that still scripted since how the hell did eagle prime manage to hit that drone?)

[@Abdega]

Gotta start somewhere…

[@PainCausingSamurai]

It was a bust.

[@pdragon619]

Question about the robot duel. What if the battle was all keyfabe, BUT it was scripted really poorly and cringey, and they accepted crowdfunding to upgrade the robots under the implication that the competition would be legitimate? I'm genuinely torn about it, on one hand I love the stupid cringe, and the fight was fun in a dumb spectacle kind of way, but on the other hand they literally spent the last 2 years building it up as a real duel and it ended up being a slow, cringy, clearly fake battle that wasn't even staged well for the most part. I mean I think everyone knew the fight wouldn't live up to the hype, robotics just isn't at a level were it would be anything but two hunks of metal awkwardly hugging, but part of me would have preferred a REAL shitty robot fight to a fake one, because now the entire draw of America putting it's engineering skills up against Japan is meaningless and the result doesn't matter. Like if they're staging the fight couldn't they have made it cooler then? Also again the fact that they had a kickstarter that raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to upgrade America's robot just for them to completely script the fight seems kinda scummy. Like the robot's capabilities don't actually matter because the fight isn't real, so what did these people actually pay for?
