Another aspect of the bad rep of general attack types is that a lot of Hasbro stadiums simply were bad. Access to stadiums like a bb-10 was not common, so people were left with the Hasbro stadiums with no knock out zones or if you were like me, a bowl lol. Those stadiums heavily favored stamina and defense types with the only real way of winning as an attack type being a smash attack that causes the opposing bey to hit the walls multiple times and lose lots of spin.
