In the final match of my last tournament, I lost to Dark Knight 85MF using Flame 230CS because I underestimated just how high the crystal notch on top of it can reach, and in some of my other tests in this thread it destroyed a Scythe HTDC as well.
Dark Knight 85MF? Sounds super cool, apart from that though, with 230 in existence LTAC is risky as frick. Not really implying it shouldn't be used, but it's just a big chance to take. I'm honestly getting PTSD because Flame 230 for some god forsaken reason did so well for so long when it is easily KO'd by basically any top tier at 120 or above. It just escapes me why it would win anything unless you're only facing stamina or defense.

Could be. My Hasbro CH120 was perfectly fine and it was the very first released by Hasbro that other people had a lot of complaints about. IDK I've never had a problem with it. Guess it's luck.

It's able to lift opponents off the ground using its slopes, which (as the anime has taught us all) nullifies whatever friction a rubber defense Tip has with the ground. Back when Libra was legal I could beat MF-H Libra R145RB fairly consistently using MF-H Quetzalcoatl 90RF in testing. I know @[Dual] has used Vulcan MF successfully, so it might be useful as a hybrid Attacker/Tornado Staller.Dude just test it, it was super SUPER strong even at taller heights it worked well. Vulcan 85RF was probably one of the strongest things in MFB I've seen (I have a few of the newer Zero-G stuff and sure, they're strong but so much is attributed to that huge weight they pack). They aren't hard to find either. And yea, Quetz works, but again its low height and you need the right environment for it to work well. I'd be looking for more all around attack beys, ones that can hold their own at least moderately well against everything. Which is why I brought up LLD H145RF, it should be able to smack everything.

Look into H145. They can break sometimes but that's a testament to their power. I mean I remember when me and bluez were getting LLD H145 to KO Basalt BD145. I'm pretty sure that's how i broke mine in the first place LOL. I'm not going to getting a H145 any time soon so yea I'd need someone else to try it, but know that H145 is a monster in my book.

I've tried and failed on multiple occasions to get other people to use it, and while I like it the prevalence of Dark Knight makes it too risky of a choice to be considered competitive, especially if you have a habit of picking the wrong side of the ridge to launch along.It's a tough type of bey to sell, it goes fast but its supposed to outlast stuff, its kinda niche, etc. but yea.
By the way Dan are you going to be staying around or are you just dropping in for a bit? Either way it's nice to see one of the older members come back to posting actively again.
And yeah I'm sticking around. Probably not limited though. Not a fan of certain things being banned out I mean.. Scythe is still there but Gravity and Libra aren't? I don't have enough background on what has been going on but that's just cringe-y to me. Would take me more time than I'm willing to put in to propose what I think would be "good", and it would likely not change anything so I'll leave you guys to what you have now. Not bad, but not my kind of ideal lol. I'm going to try and focus on all the other series now. Maybe later. I'll post here and whatnot I guess, I mean I do know a few things, but I'm not going to look into combos or anything anymore.
