To make up for bad pic quality, the hole on Horogium should be aligned with the missing chunk of metal on Basalt.

To make it easier to understand, the R145 should have a rubber protrusion where the 'XII' on Horogium is.

Horogium launched first for 10 rounds, then switched
MF-H Basalt Horogium R145RF vs. MF Lightning L-Drago BD145LRF (Upper mode)
Horogium: 12/20 (5 KO's, 7 OS's)
L-Drago: 8/20 (4 OS's, 4 KO's)
2 draws redone
Horogium WR: 60%

So. It really depended on who was launched first. That bey would lose, whether by KO or OS. Horogium only got the higher percentage because it hit L-Drago just after being launched, then KO'ed it with another attack, then it did a 'final attack' KO when both were almost out of steam. Horogium would lose when it was launched first, and L-Drago would lose when it was launched first. OS's occurred when they could not KO each other, in which case the imbalance of whichever bey was launched first would cause their downfall. In a tournament situation, a battle between these 2 combos could go either way.

Leone launched first for 10 rounds, then switched
MF-H Basalt Horogium R145RF vs. Fang Leone S130RF (Counter Mode)
Horogium: 17/20 (12 KO's, 5 OS's)
Leone: 3/20 (3 KO's)
4 draws redone
Horogium WR: 85%

Basalt completely stopped Leone cold. Even when Horogium was launched first, Leone was helpless. When they were unable to knock each other out, the round shape of Basalt allowed it to absorb Fang's attacks, even when Basalt had been launched first and was wobbling like crazy. Fang could only KO Basalt if it got 2 hits on Basalt's major recoil points, and then get wall-saved from the second hit's huge knockback. Sometimes, Horogium even KO'ed Leone when Leone could have won by OS (mentioned earlier).

VariAres launched first for 10 rounds, then switched
MF-H Basalt Horogium R145RF vs. VariAres CH120RF (120 Height)
Horogium: 20/20 (15 KO's, 5 OS's)
VariAres: 0/20
2 draws redone
Horogium WR: 100%

What Horogium did to VariAres. This was almost painful to watch. VariAres would come in flying at Horogium who was slightly slower and I'd be thinking 'oh carp', then VariAres would just fly off of Horogium, and most of the time out as well. My reaction to that: Seriously, even when Horogium was launched first and neither could be knocked out, Basalt's stamina-draining properties played a major part in outspinning VariAres. This battle also made me realize how much spin this combo has at the end of the battle, it just kept going at the end when it looked like it would've fallen over already, and then VariAres would fall over first. Also, I only have one R145, which is why I used the next best option, CH120, instead.

VariAres launched first for 10 rounds, then switched
MF-H Basalt Horogium R145RF vs. VariAres CH120RF (145 Height)
Horogium: 19/20 (17 KO's, 2 OS's)
VariAres: 1/20 (1 KO)
3 draws redone
Horogium WR: 95%

VariAres was slightly more productive here, able to smash Horogium around a bit more. Note, only a bit. It was still getting its butt whooped by this combo. The MF-H gave the combo enough weight to stop itself from flying over the Tornado Ridge; when I did comparative results without MF-H, results decreased by 20%. VariAres would get its spin drained by attacking Horogium, and Horogium would often come from behind and throw VariAres over the Tornado Ridge. VariAres managed to get a KO when it flew from behind Horogium after Horogium was banked, and forced Horogium over the Tornado Ridge. Otherwise, it was complete murder as usual.

Escolpio launched first for 10 rounds, then switched
Flash in literally mint condition, only used 5 times before tests, R2F and RF are also in prime condition
MF-H Basalt Horogium R145RF vs. MF-H Flash Escolpio S130R2F
Horogium: 15/20 (9 KO's, 6 OS's)
Escolpio: 5/20 (1 OS, 4 KO's)
5 draws redone
Horogium WR: 75%

I don't know guys, I launch Flash well and Horogium's still got it. There were many high-power clashes between the two, but Horogium got wall-saved or, more often, just plain stood its ground better than Flash. Horogium is still the tank in my opinion.

Something interesting I noticed. Around the 17th round or so, when I launched Horogium first and then Flash, Flash moved so fast that it moved the stadium a lot like always. Unlike the usual occasion though, the movement was enough to perfectly throw Horogium out of its flower pattern and into the center, where it stayed unable to move out until it lost all spin. Something like this makes stadium movement an issue to address.

Technically, it should be Horogium winning with only 70%, but I redid that match and Horogium won. I'd like some advice on this please.

Escolpio launched first for 10 rounds, then switched
MF-H Basalt Horogium R145RF vs. MF-H Flash Escolpio AD145MF
Horogium: 17/20 (16 KO's, 1 OS)
Escolpio: 3/20 (3 OS's)
1 draw redone
Horogium WR: 85%

Ohohohoho, this was murder. Horogium threw Flash out of that stadium, even when I switched the order of launching. MF is insufficient in stopping Horogium's power. Neither Tornado Stalling nor Banking worked, just straight shooting Horogium flat out worked every time in stopping the MF variant of Flash. Of course, Flash is a powerful MW, but it still has to try against Horogium to win.

Aquario launched first
MF-H Basalt Horogium R145RF vs. MF-H Earth Aquario BD145CS
Horogium: 8/20 (8 KO's)
Aquario: 12/20 (12 OS's)
1 draw redone
Horogium WR: 40%

Aquario got wall-saved. A LOT. It was able to hold its ground pretty well, but the wall-saving was the real reason why it won. Basalt could only truly knock out Aquario when they were moving towards each other while Horogium had a lot of energy. Horogium would knock Aquario to the edge on the rubber part of CS a lot and chase it around the stadium, but it couldn't knock it out since both were moving rapidly in the same direction. Then Aquario would just stall Horogium and win. Rather frustrating, but Horogium did better than expected.

Libra launched first
MF-H Basalt Horogium R145RF vs. MF-H Libra BD145RS
Horogium: 8/20 (8 KO's)
Libra: 12/20 (12 OS's)
Horogium WR: 40%

Libra could withstand Horogium quite nicely, however, when it stood still or moved towards Horogium while Horogium had a lot of energy in its attack, it would get KO'ed. It got wall-saved quite a bit, but much of the time it could just stall Horogium out.

Kerbecs launched first
MF-H Basalt Horogium R145RF vs. Hell Kerbecs BD145WD (Boost Mode)
Horogium: 19/20 (19 KO's)
Kerbecs: 1/20 (1 OS)
Horogium WR: 95%

Ow. My chest still hurts from Kerbecs smashing into it. Kerbecs couldn't do anything. Horogium smashed it so hard that it rebounded off walls into the air and out the stadium. Only one time Kerbecs got lucky because it dodged Horogium's attacks.

Kronos launched first
MF-H Basalt Horogium R145RF vs. MF Scythe Kronos BD145EDS (Stamina Mode)
Horogium: 17/20 (17 KO's)
Kronos: 3/20 (3 OS's)
Horogium WR: 85%

Same idea. Kronos did slightly better thanks to its PC frame and EDS bottom saving it, but it still got smashed pretty hard, and even destabilized a bit. Kronos didn't get whacked as hard as Kerbecs thanks to the PC frame, but it couldn't take Horogium's attacks. Kronos would get wall-saved a few times and then stall Basalt by knocking it out of the flower pattern.

Orion launched first
MF-H Basalt Horogium R145RF vs. Phantom Orion B : D (Stamina Mode)
Horogium: 16/20 (16 KO's)
Orion: 4/20 (4 OS's)
Horogium WR: 80%

2 words: Sliding Shoot. Completely destroyed Orion with this. Horogium also pulled off some impressive late game KO's. However, Orion was able to win by getting wall-saved, and letting the recoil of the attack throw Basalt out of the flower pattern and stall it out. Then, it just circled around Basalt when Basalt was in the center, and that was game. However, this thing hit Orion like a truck otherwise, Orion didn't even have a chance to defend.
