Welcome to the future!
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.
Total dogshit game
Looks like the same when I let my kids play tekken the first time.
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!
I’ve seen it about a year or so after it came out. I remember it fondly, maybe I should rewatch it.
You should! :D
Flashback to my first attempts at playing the original arcade Virtua Fighter
I didn’t think family matters would get a reboot
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
Who would watch robots fight like this. They can’t even do anything. They have no idea how to fight whoever built them has no idea how yo fight. Its like watching blind people spam moves until something lands.
For most people seeing robots even move like this at all is considered crazy
Most people are also thinking if they have reached this point, where will they be at in 5 - 10 years
I would agree if the movement looked dynamic.
you don’t think a flying roundhouse kick to the head looks dynamic?
No it doesnt. It looks like the same kick over and over. It fights like the guy who has trained 1 kick 10,000 times and has no sense of distance.
I dont think the robot can properly move or throw the same kick slightly different. It can just detected a target and fire off a generic kick. Mechanically its cool but we’ve plenty of examples of robots doing these acrobatics.
Idk maybe it would be better if it was actually trying to do real martial arts. If this thing dynamically circled and popped a well timed jab with some head movement I would be extremely impressed.
Seems like they are given pre-programmed moves queued up and not, like, using any sensors and logic to fight dynamically. I would have expected them to be more autonomous. Or the very least, human controlled so you can wire up two actual martial artists to make the bots fight harder than they would against each other because it’s okay if you kick a robot’s head off.

They seem to do more damage to themselves when falling over than actually inflicting anything on their opponent…
That’s true of a few BattleBots contenders.
Funny, too.
I can picture these wearing cop uniforms, running you down at night for jaywalking ,and believe it may be one of our possible futures.
I’m pretty sure the odds of this are 100%. Except it’ll be military bots… and they’ll be purging the poor and middle class, because once you have robots to do all the other stuff the next step is to reduce the population.
If you and your group control all the raw resources and manufacturing is fully automated, and you have robots smart enough to do all the manual tasks, you don’t need profit, you get to wipe out most of the population and create your paradise.
Not enough people realize we are morlocks, and the Billionaires think they are the Eloi
But everything is driven by profit. I don’t think the 1% will be able to pivot to reduced profit for better stability/comfort.
Profit only matters when you don’t already own everything, power is the only thing that matters.
But how quickly will hackers be able to gain total control of them? Cops will probably have the administrator password as “password123” or some shit. Or maybe instead of engaging in combat directly, they’ll just be running humanoid cameras, lunging after you no matter how quickly you run, or whatever fence you jump over. Long gone will be the days when you could simply outrun the overweight, poorly trained cops. Now these things will be just inches behind you, the whole way blaring sirens and recording your every move. 😐
The spinning jump kick of the law.
Stop right there! Or I won’t be able to jump kick you!
They fly now? They fly now.
The acronym immediately made me think of this.
I’d still put my money on a battle bot any day of the week.
I love battle bots
