Clash Cubes 2 featured the Official Super Heavyweight Class and 23 entrants with an additional 6 entrants fighting out for the final position in the bracket of 24 (otherwise known as the Wild Card). The first notable difference to Clash Cubes 1 was in the qualifiers, where competitors are faced with 2 house cubes and the main matches themselves were best 2 out of 3.

The 'Wild Card' bracket concluded with System32 and Sage as the victors (2 robots were taken due to the late withdrawal of Madiaba). The most notable part of the Wild Card portion of the tournament was the 2 grudge match videos, which included a video devoted to [[Life robot arena2]]'s "trash talk" prior to the tournament and insults following his loss and a video of a grudge match in which [[HurricaneAndrew]]'s reconfigured [[Surprise! v2]] took on [[Sage]]'s Mammoth who eliminated [[HurricaneAndrew]] in round 1.
