Welcome to the future!
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!
Total dogshit game
Flashback to my first attempts at playing the original arcade Virtua Fighter
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.
When I was a kid we had a game called Rockem Sockem Robots (sp?) and knocking the head of was the definition of winning.
This looks sad. The obsession with humanoid robots is making less and less sense by the decade.
Support your local robot battle scene.
The obsession is actually in search of new tech markets to dominate. AI race, Ev Race, Solar Panel race, gig-economy race. There’s so much money and “realpolitik” in each of these. Sometimes early investments pay off like EV industry and sometimes they absolutely do not - gig economy race for example.
This seems like new reality - chase to dominate big general markets and China is absolutely winning everything from EVs and solar panels to literally fishing out every fish out of existence within the next few decades if not less.
This is really bad.
Looks like they got a ways to go yet
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’d still put my money on a battle bot any day of the week.

Are they autonomous or do they have pilots? I feel like a human touch would make the fights a lot cooler. Like in that one Love, Death and Robots episode.
It’s fully autonomous, and it’s just an ad for China’s upcoming robot industry. There are a lot of events like that from dancing, to fighting to just doing chores. So it’s not really a market on its own to justify more investments and refinement - it’s just a meme.
I do wonder though whether something more permanent could be here but we already have Robot Wars which is better in every possible way - human controlled and not limited to human-like robots.
They didn’t even hit each other
Pointless if their heads don’t pop straight up and make a “ziiiiiiing” sound.
they also have computers racing 250kmph cars and 130kmph drones
supposedly it’s streamed on YouTube but I’ve never caught one live bc it happens once a year https://a2rl.io/
