burstlimit and HOLLOW WINGS were two both super interesting tournaments. I'll post my thoughts on Deck Rotation finals in a separate topic.
I haven't tested Miniboros as an attack Layer ever since its initial release but I was able to conclude that Miniboros paired with Zephyr seemed to work fairly well for both Burst Finishes and Over Finishes. I'm not sure if it's as consistent as Valkyrie, though.
Super glad I decided to open up to Trans' Attack Mode (is that what it's called?). I had wanted to try it out at BLADE LIKE A GIRL at the beginning of this month but I was a bit hesitant.
Gravity in left-spin is something I was a bit unsure was worth unbanning. I had played around with Gravity GCF after Wombat had initially posted his F230CF tests and had started to lack faith. It—or Gravity paired with Metal Flat—weren't, however, issues, by any means and I do believe it's OK to keep in the game. Even so, I'm not sure how much I like the idea of allowing direction swaps when using an L/R. While swapping wasn't necessarily used for the best at the event, there are certain match ups where it can become kind of necessary.
As for JesseObre's use of Virgo, it definitely caught most of us by surprise. While I can't seem to understand why he used it as opposed to other Metal Wheels on F230CF and D125BWD, it seemed reasonable on 230MB as opposed to Scythe, which is much more hit-able from the bottom. Why over Flame, though, @[JesseObre]?
