Recently I’ve noticed that throughout the forum people have come to the general consensus that RSF is superior in terms of defensive prowess then it’s predecessor RS. I’ve created this topic in an attempt to gain a definitive answer to which bottom should be the defensive staple.

As the results indicate RSF performed slightly worse then RS though both bottoms struggled against a left spin combination but RSF in particular. It’s a fact that RSF has better balance there isn’t denying that but what RS lacks in balance is more then made up in pure defensive prowess and survivability. RS’s ability to take consecutive hits from an RF opponent and still continue to stay within the stadium is simply amazing, RSF seems to reproduce this astounding feat to some degree but fails when the attacking force increases compared to RS whom could withstand such an attack.
I don’t want these results to detract anybody from trying to track down a RSF as it’s still a great defence bottom producing much greater win rates compared to the current staple defensive bottom that the majority of the forum uses WB, but unfortunately RSF is outperformed by RS but far from being outclassed and disregarded from the MFB meta game.
