So I recently picked up the Hyper-Strike Battle Set, and so I decided to test F:S. Here we go.
Standard Procedure
BBG-03 Zero-G Attack Type Stadium
Hasbro Launcher Grip
Mars Red Beylauncher L/R
Launcher Rubber
Grip Rubber
MSF-H Killerken Revizer F:S vs. MSF-F Balro Begirados F230R2F
Alternating Launch, with KR first.
KR: 12 wins, 2 KO, 10 OS
BB: 8 wins, 2 KO, 6 OS
Ties: 0
F:S Win Rate: 60%
This turned into Attack v. Attack, so anything could have happened.
MSF-F Balro Begirados F:S vs. MSF-H Killerken Revizer E230RS
Defense type shot first.
BB: 10 wins, 1 KO, 9 OS
KR: 10 wins, 3 KO, 7 OS
F:S Win Rate: 50%
Ties: 2
F:S actually did pretty well throughout. Again, it's gimmick is what makes it so versatile.
Phantom Nemesis (Stamina Mode) vs. Duo Cancer W145WD
Duo always launched first.
PN: 11 wins, 7 KO, 4 OS
DC: 9 wins, 4 KO, 5 OS
F:S Win Rate: 55%
Ties: 1
Duo Cancer did better than I though actually, hah. But again F:S did better overall.
MF-H Duo Cancer F:S vs. MSF-H Revizer Dragooon B:D
Dragooon always shot first.
DC: 4 wins, 1 KO, 3 OS
RD: 16 wins, 1 KO, 15 OS.
F:S Win Rate: 20%
Ties: 7
I honestly thought Duo Cancer would do better. Surprising.
Final Remarks
F:S is only a mediocre part. In my tests, it only did well in a couple places, and where I thought it would do best, against RD B:D, it failed. So yeah, there are better parts.
