I suggest you practice a darn good sliding shoot/bank shot. Just try and get the pattern, its just easier the attack stadium.

Not sure how much this will add to the thread that hasn't already been said, but I was talking to Hero via PM and thought this would be worth posting:
Dan probably shouldn't be making such swift assumptions, considering that he has never fully participated in one of our tournaments. I don't see Basalt all that often, to be completely honest. I've been seeing Hell and 230 more often lately, but it is by no means widely used by everyone. Both are highly successful though, of course; I used a Hell combo at BCRS1 and Ignite Your Spirit! and won a few matches with it, as I'm sure a few other people have, and Xman8024 just won BCRS2 with MF Hell Kerbecs BD145WD (and some variants of it throughout the tournament). As for 230, I've won countless matches with 230-based customs since December, and won Ignite Your Spirit! with MF-H Basalt Bull 230CS. The other people who have 230 have also been using it, but I can't comment on how they've done with it.
Attack-types have been everywhere lately more than anything; particularly MF Lightning L Drago BD145RF at the last tournament, but also Gravity and Meteo L Drago customs.
This is aside from the random combos of course. There is many more specifics I'm missing, but you get the idea.

Hopefully more people from the Toronto area will start posting here; obviously, there is only so much I can observe when I'm hosting most of our tournaments!

Haha an extremely valid point Kei, but anyone can read the standings posted by attendees. By revolving, I did not mean frequently used, but more frequently placed which is totally different. You must agree that Basalt 230, and many 230 combinations in general do indeed place in our competitions, right? Tell me I'm wrong, but there is a prevalence no?

Prevalence as far as placing goes, yes. That said, the top three are never 230, 230, 230; there is variation.
Yeah, I didn't mean the impression Hero got. Perhaps I didn't explain it properly. (tips)
But for the most part you are coming in first, and you are using 230. 230 holds a vice-grip on tournaments, just question, how much variation is in each match you partake in? (combination wise, as I doubt your just spamming Basalt 230CS)

I don't find Gravity and Meteo L-Drago combinations to be particularly plentiful (but that could just be me). I also don't see 230 as being prominent in its use. That being said, anyone who has used 230 has almost certainly done well even if the combo isn't particularly good. If I remember correctly, at Recruitment Session 2 someone got to the semifinals (and then had a record of 5-2 during the semifinals) using Basalt Horogium 230WD.
Yeah that was my friend Summonkeep3 sorry to spam
...point made. Anyhow, attack types have become quite prominent over here. The degree of successfulness of their users, however, is often questionable at best.
