Cybertron's Mence was Max Speed Max attack and Jolly. It ran draco because even with a minus nature it still outsped and OKHO'd other Mences. Bulk wins VGC, the longer your pokemon stays alive the better youre going to do. Zheng's biggest mistake was bringing frail mons like Salamence and Blaziken. CM Sylveon looked good on paper but with all the rock slides it wouldnt cut it. AV Swampert just simply wasnt a good choice either. Goth and Ferro were the bulkiest he has and a great pair with the combo of trick room, leech seed, and Shadow tag. This just turned into a Cybertron team report on what went wrong anyways my point is this. Mence needs to live ice attacks to beat other mons such as Amoongus, Other Dragons, Mega Garde, and Breloom.

Firstly, I'm not sure what team you are referring to with that Salamence build, but the Salamence on the team you are mentioning had max attack and an Adamant nature (as mentioned here: https://youtu.be/o8T-vkqZDLY?t=25m6s).
The team I was referring to is this one:

And I'm not a fan of your blanket statement of 'Bulk wins VGC'. Obviously keeping your pokemon on the field is important, but whether a pokemon needs to survive certain attacks depends on its role on the team. I don't think in this team Salamence needed to be taking HP ice/Ice beams, he had switch ins being Aegislash and Rotom-W and redirection in Amoonguss (though not ideal, still an option). Sometimes a Pokemon functions better with a fully offensive investment and I think in this particular case that's true.

Slow your roll here bud, Bulk makes VGC, Not wins it, True, But that doesnt mean you go and link a Nationals Video when your talking about a Worlds Team. And Most Salamences DO LIVE A ICE BEAM and WILL LIVE ONE.....

Also Offensive Amoonguss works better than a bulkier one? Never would of knew

Also have you noticed? All teams in VGC so far HAVE SOME TYPE OF BULK, Whetever its Aegislash or Amoonguss, or hell even AV Serperior, all teams have some sort of bulk.
