However, the wobbling allows it to smash down on lower opponents, killing their spin. Even when at the same height, it has a detrimental effect on the opponents stamina. The top surface also seems to make some impact on the opponent, likely to similar effect. Due to it's weight and compact size/concentrated weight, it isn't destabilised by it's opponents when making this contact.
Still, it's mostly a handicap.
Oh, and apparently it helps with a "counter defence" hitting the opponent back hard after a hit.
Well, actually, TT did that so that Basalt doesn't become overpowered; and WBO discovered that it smashes down on its opponents, counter defense, etc..
OK, now let's get back to the main point-
Just because I love to see new types of attacks in MFB, I want to ask, is this wobbling attack of Basalt, which kills the opponent's spin, related to Force Smash?
I asked this in the Upper Attack Theory thread, but the answer was no. But, I always get the feeling, why not? If not force smash, its at least, SIMILAR to Force Smash.
Force Smash needs downward slopes to push the bey down. But, this theory was created AGES before Basalt was created, and no one would have even thought, that there would be a heavy,
wobbly bey that would push the other bey towards the stadium floor, without any slopes. So, even though it doesn't possess those slopes, it possesses weight. The 2nd postulate of Force Smash states that, the bey should be heavy. So, Basalt's wobble attack should at least be near to Force Smash?
