Alright, I think I'll give this a shot
Quote:Attack
Wyvang
1. MSF-H Wyvang Wyvang (GB145/W145) (R2F/RF)
2. Wyvang Dragooon SA165 (Zero-G attack mode) (R2F/RF/LRF)
These combos have both put up stunning results against some tough defenders,
here and
here.
Balro
1. Balro Balro (CH120/D125/T125/W145) (RF/R2F)
Although Balro has not been formally tested with these exact tracks, it's put up great results with the same heights in
this thread. W145 is obviously the superior substitute for CH145 if you don't want the height-change function. I found GB145 and MSF-H to slow this down a bit much for my taste...
Flash
1. MF-H Flash (Orion/Escolpio/Pisces/Beelzebub/Ionis) (GB145/H145/S130/CH120) (R2F/RF)
2. MF-H Flash (Orion/Escolpio/Pisces/Beelzebub/Ionis) W145MF
Although its weight can be a bit of a problem in some scenarios, flash does have relatively low recoil, and its speed and controllability can be advantageous. It's smash is very viable as well, hitting up to 60-70% against Revizer, as well as pulling higher numbers than any Synchrom attacker against the ever popular Duo defenders. I mean, come on, it's flash...
Defense
Duo
1. MF-H Duo (Aquario/Bull/Cancer/Hades/Cygnus) BD145 (RDF/RB)
Duo is just amazing... it's got more stamina than any other defensive wheel out there, and yet it can still pull some of the highest numbers against the new Synchrom attacker.
Reviser/Killerken
1. MSF-H Revizer/Killerken Revizer/Killerken BD145 (RDF/RB/CS/RSF)
2. MSF-H Revizer Reviser/Killerken E230 (RDF/RSF/RS/CS/RB)
Both of the Chrome Wheels have put up and still put up amazing results against traditional attackers in the past, and nothing seems to have topped them yet, so...
Genbull
1. MSF-H Genbull/Revizer Genbull BD145 (RDF/RB)
No one seemed to pay much attention to it, but when Genbull was first tested for defense, it put up numbers 50%
higher than Reviser against Flash. From testing Both Formal and informal, I have found it to be absolutely amazing on BD145. Although it doesn't seem to perform well on CS or E230, it can be an amazing mid-height defender. Check out some formal results
here and
here.
Scythe
1. MF-H Scythe ______ 85RS
This thing is amazing... although it seems a bit, well, weird, it's put up some startling results against incredibly powerful attack types
here and
here.
Stamina
Duo
1. Duo (Cancer/Cygnus/Hades/Aquario) W145 (WD/EWD)
2. Duo (Cancer/Cygnus/Hades/Aquario) 230 (D/SD)
3. Duo (Cancer/Cygnus/Hades/Aquario) TH170 (D/SD)
4. Duo (Cancer/Cygnus/Hades/Aquario) SR200TB
It's Duo... it just totally rocks. The only thing that can come close to matching this wheel IMO is Genbull.
Genbull
1. Genbull Genbull SR200 (TB/CS)
2. Genbull Genbull TH170TB
Genbull has put up some impressive numbers used in stamina combinations
here and
here...
Phantom
1. Phantom (Cygnus/Cancer/Hades) W145 (WD/EWD)
2. Phantom (Cygnus/Cancer/Hades) 230 (D/SD)
These combos are continuing to succeed in events as I have heard, and although its recoil can produce a huge issue in certain circumstances, you just can't ignore Phantom's amazing endurance capabilities, putting up far higher solo spin times than any other wheel released so far.
Dragooon
1. (MSF-H) Reviser Dragooon SA165 (normal mode) EWD
This thing rocks... it takes down pretty much anything using right rotation (save most attackers). It's Precession and LAD are incredible. Check it out
here.
Balance
1. MF-L Phantom Cygnus 85MF
This combo continues to succeed against so many combos I can't keep count. Just the pure spin time alone is enough to impress me...
2. MF-H Diablo Kerbecs BD145RF
This combo is still a great counter to most attack types, and it can still produce very, very viable results against stamina types as well. I see no reason to leave it off of the list.
3. (MF-H/MF-M) Duo (Cancer/Cygnus) 230MB
This combo is still dominant in specific areas, and continues to put up stunning results against most of the new combos we have been testing. This one's definitely a keeper.
4. MSF Gryph Gryph E230BSF
This combo is pretty decent. Not one of my favorites, but you really can't ignore the results it's been able to put up. This thing can pretty much force smash the polycarbonate out of anything below 160. Tests are
here.
5. MSF-H Wyvang Dragooon BD145RDF
This thing is absolutely beast in every way, shape, and form... this is one of my favorite combos of all time. Check it out
here.
6. MSF-L Girago Girago BD145RF
I've tried this a LOT against just about everything, and so far, it's completely stomped anything remotely related to attack. Check it out
here.
7. Reviser Dragooon SA165 (normal mode) RDF
I like this combo... it's a nice variation of spin equalizer, with the added defense to back it up against right-spin attackers. Check out the results
here.
8. Wyvang Wyvang BD145RSF
This combo has put up some viable numbers as a balance type, and seems to be a popular combo among the users I've discussed it with... so, up it goes! Check out the testing
here.
I just added the colors for fun. XD
A few changes to Ingulit's draft I've changed...
1. I've removed Bahamdia Dragooon SP230GF. I really see absolutely no application for that combo to fill... it loses to absolutely everything I've ever put it up against every single time.
2. I've added Genbull for defense.
3. I've removed Basalt TR145R2F and replaced it with Girago BD145RF
4. I've added a couple extra tracks to use with Balro in the attack section.
5. I've outlined which tracks to use with Wyvang
6. I've removed Killerken Reviser on E230. I see no reason to put the higher recoil killerken on the bottom when you can just put reviser there and stick killerken on top...
7. I've removed E230 in the Duo defense section... I really, really have no success with Duo on E230. It's much too light to stay standing, IMO, and because of the disc on E230 you're not even utilizing its best quality, its incredibly smooth shape. I just see no reason to use it on E230.
8. I've removed Phantom 160PD. I've tried it with 160D, and it just doesn't have as much success as it does with Duo. Even Ingulit said in his thread that the track-bottom setup only really has any synergy with Duo.
9. I've removed SR200TB from the phantom section... IMO TB doesn't help Phantom's pure endurance, and Phantom doesn't seem to benefit from TB nearly as much as Genbull does; Plus, there are no formal tests done on the combo anyway. XD
10. I put Wyvang Wyvang BD145RSF up there for balance.
After that, I don't think there's anything different (except the format).
