Well, that's interesting

I'd disagree with "the movement brings you in the top-30, the gun into top-10 of Gigarumble".
I'd say targeting plays a huge role in getting into the top-30. A few of us with high ranking melee bots currently, started out developing our melee targeting using the movement from HawkOnFire. Between GlacialHawk and the current version of Glacier, I only managed to improve the movement by 1 APS worth, and well... HawkOnFire ranks 47 places below Glacier currently.
(Also, I'm pretty sure the 5 bots ranked higher than Glacier in the main MeleeRumble mostly outrank Glacier on the the basis of movement, rather than targeting)
