I finally made it past Top 8 for the first time and placed 2nd! It was really great. My Dragoon Fighter got oofed big time by RED NINJA's Victory Valkyrie on Ultimate Reboot' as he Burst me twice with it even though I was weak launching. Also, I should've spit my gum out for the Top 3 pic lmao. The venue for my event as well as Lazer's, A Store Of Fire And Dice, also gave us gold, silver, and bronze Shinobi Saramandas as prizes, which was really cool too.

Off the top of my head, at least 3-4+ people used it. It can beat stuff. I went up against it in Finals iirc, but I was able to OS it with Dragoon Fighter.

Actually, I was going to play HF/S up to the night before but decided against it ultimately.  I just ran out of time testing since I only received the my zero-G stadium two days before the tournament.  I wasn’t sure I could get it on the list.

What kind of stuff did it beat?

Ahh, I see. It's been years since we did a Zero-G tournament in Toronto, but I remember E230 HF/S being relatively popular in the last few we did. It became popular for us after F230CF/GCF was banned from Zero-G.

Odin Assault’ can beat anything that isn’t left spin or top tier stationary stamina (I got shut down by Yami’s extremely tight Deathscyther Revolve). It’s not unbeatable, but once people saw the success I was having with it in first stage, everyone started piling on the Assault’ train haha

Basically this. I just know some people were using it and that it can beat things in Classic but I didn't know everything it faced. Thanks.

I went back and tested HF/S a little bit today.  It is very versatile, now that I am actually changing the mode properly lol!  I guess my HF/S was very tight and I wasn’t getting both of the little notches in their proper place, so it was kinda of tilted in HF mode.   I am no expert in Zero-G having played it for 2.5 days but my impression is it has decent sway attack, good defense, and pretty good stamina....if you change the modes properly.  It does seem quite good.  

And to be 100% honest I kinda gave up on the HF/S because I was afraid I was testing an inside joke.   “Someone” posted a thread on a different HF/S combo with an obscenely long name (the abbreviation using most of the alphabets) that I think was mostly a joke.  I did actually go test that combo some time ago and found it to be mediocre at best.....lol.  That thread is actually the reason why I even own HF/S.

I stalled so i was able to beat most same spin. I burst V2 Knuckle Ul'. I had 3 click. And i burst KJ's Dragoon F Yell Absorb-S. So it did better than expected.

So what you're saying is that it isn't really a downgrade from the infamous Odin Zephyr'? haha

Haha. HF/S only became actually useful in my opinion because of Zero-G (and partially because of the F230CF/GCF ban).

Do you mean layer weight? I'm just going to take a guess here and say Metsu or Zan.
I'll update it, it was Retsu
How did the cosmo dragon combo perform?

Cosmo was to counter joyos' judgment Ashura. Nothing more.

Did Joyos mess up his launches? Seems pretty unlikely for Cosmo on Revolve to counter Judgement Xtreme'

I didn't, but I did, if you know what I mean Grin  The pressure of being opposite a match-point and being scared of self-KO.

He worked with what he had on hand to try to make a stamina based combo that would attempt to take some Judgement hits.  The intention of making the combo and what he used it for is correct.
I wouldn't expect Cosmo to take hits from Judgement, but if it works I'm not arguing.
