Yeah, pure attack combos fail miserably, mf gravity perseus r145rf wins by os every so often, but is harder to use than libra, so after a strong of 30 drawn matches, it's more likely that the perseus user will mess up a launch. Meteo l drago 90mf cuts it close, due to sharing spin and at least once self ko'd off libra. It has some effectiveness against 230 though, as a bonus. My mf hell unicorno 100mf seems to do well against this libra combo, and stands a chance v 230 (tall bottom, tall wheel, and with it's width on a slope, and sledgehammer weight, often topples the tower), however, against any lower attack combo, hell+mf can't win. I must remember to test hell and bd145 for defense, given hell aquario is heavier than my libra...
But yeah, mfh libra bd145rs/rsf ruins traditional attack, and as much as that's what defence should do, I feel there's a risk of it turning the metagame into rock, paper, scissors. Maybe just banning this one combo might allow defense to be viable but not game breaking... Even though it's a bit of work.
By the way, I'm gonna have to test this combo v a normal attack blade, so when I do, I won't redo draws, or I'll be here all year.
Dan, probably just make a separate basalt thread, and I'll link to it. I just ordered one too (and beafowl, because why not). I can tell you if it were RS, vulcan would get 0, and ldrago 10% max, but yeah, I don't have RSF, I can use my CS, but I'm currently not happy with either of my CS's defence, they sometimes fly out by themselves after being hit, because of the rubber, and it often brings them into the line of fire early in the battle, as it's very hard to get a perfect angle combined with a strong enough launch to keep them still. Also, I don't know for sure about rsf, but I don't think CS will be good enough. RS manages to just cling to the ridge, or even the edge of the stadium, sometimes, against gravity perseus, anyway.
EDIT: Would you believe, that now I'm testing, I'm not getting many draws, Gravity is outspinning slightly, and I've had a KO either way (Gravity got lucky in having a wall behind it in the first, in the second, it didn't, and it didn't move Libra beyond the thunder ridge, but went flying). Maybe my RF has just hit the perfect stage or something, but yeah, Gravity keeps outspinning slightly...
EDIT 2: Well, I did 20 rounds vs perseus... And Libra ONLY got 53.8%, not counting draws. I'm shocked, and confused. IT honestly shouldn't be that low. I'll include my lengthy notes and detailed results when I put up the results, because I think they're far more relevant than the actual results. There are usually more draws (normally every round would be either a draw or extremely close), and so I think that 54% represents the fact it can go either way. Honestly, though, in a tournament situation, I'd rather have Libra, it's easier to use, and it's hard to sliding shoot correctly with perseus for 10 consecutive replays or whatever.
Also, that will be all for tonight, other than the write up, as my family have gone to bed, so I can't keep blading, or they'll murder me
