Welcome to the future!
I’d still put my money on a battle bot any day of the week.
“What?! Your heads off!”
“Tis’ but a flesh wound! HAVE AT YEE!”
*I love how one of the presenters is choke-laughing the whole time after it’s head comes off
Pointless if their heads don’t pop straight up and make a “ziiiiiiing” sound.

Best learn how to fashion an EMP cannon from household parts.
They way they get up is pretty cool, but they each have one jump kick attack and nothing else? Those deathbot matches from the early aughts are way cooler.
They learned from Mortal Combat to spam their best move.
Turns out it’s a mirror battle.
I guess it is like watching toddlers walk, but why the random breakout into dance moves? Also how do they target? Seems like they just generally point at the other one.
Can we have Hugh Jackman pilot a robot?
He can’t, he’s busy fellating Rupert Murdoch.
Total dogshit game

It doesn’t look like they’re autonomous to me, it looks like they have a pre-programmed set of movements (like the kick-variants we’re seeing, and the “get up” motion), and being controlled by someone outside the ring. That also fits with the way they’re missing: it’s hard to get proper alignment when you’re looking from the side, and the pattern for how they’re missing looks a lot to me like how you often miss if you try to line up e.g. a remote controlled toy car on an opening to drive through when you’re sitting off to the side.

Oh absolutely! It’s cool as hell! I think it could be even cooler if they put a camera in the robots head so that the controller could get the right point of view, that would probably make it more easy to be accurate.

Looks real the same way WWE looks real. I mean, you gotta love the skill/tech used to achieve these feats, but real robots fighting with no restraint wouldn’t need to take a few seconds to dick around after every kick.
Flashback to my first attempts at playing the original arcade Virtua Fighter
It’s very clear none of y’all remember the seminal film Real Steel
I remember when it came out, but I only saw it last year! IT BLEW ME AWAY. I wasn’t expecting a film of that quality!
Should get Jaleel White to host it.
When I was a kid we had a game called Rockem Sockem Robots (sp?) and knocking the head of was the definition of winning.
Looks like they got a ways to go yet
