[Hasbro]  Balkesh B3 Testing and Discussion

Arc Balkesh is very surprising in the different match-ups its been in. It even stood up to some Super Z Beys as well which is very interesting.

Here’s another match we did, but didn’t complete due to there being too many ties.

Sorry to rush you, I understand that you're busy, but did you see my request? Just not sure if I was ignored or something.

Sorry. I thought you saw @[bladekid]'s tests in this thread. He tested B3.0B.Br vs. L3.U.X, so the results would probably be similar to your B3.0B.Br vs. L3.S.X test.
Oh, apologies for that then. Thanks for redirecting me though!

No problem!
My tests may be a bit postponed because I lost my balkesh. I'm going to try to get another one, but for now, I'm not doing any tests.

Thank you a lot for testing aBB3,0B,Br. Smile SatombCrafter and I really enjoy battling with its Takara Tomy counterpart (we don't have the Hasbro Version yet). It's a lot of fun. However I think the Hasbro Version is really overpowered.
Thanks for the tests KJ! I just wanted to ask, did you notice if the Slides go in on the B3 layer or anything? That's exactly what the TT counter part is good for. It's so bad that it's good...

I'm not entirely sure. Aside from that one Burst that Right Spin SRS3 got on B3, it didn't look like the Disc moved on B3's slopes after any battles I did.

You got b3 to burst! Wow. I haven't gotten the slopes to move once ever.
Balkesh for me has been turning out to be a slightly less good version of fafnir.

B3 does really well with bearing, but still manages to get out spun by many combos. Being left spin most mobile attack combos are useless against it. B3 loses to fafnir regularly however.

It's cool that it's pretty much a mirror of cognite. Maybe using it as mobile attack will yield results?

Nah, it counters many combinations in the meta, and only has 1 counter that we know of (dF).

Did u switched the Br drivers after 10 rounds?

Not this time. If I didn't clarify it, I didn't do it. I didn't do it when I was testing B3.0B.Br or B3.7.Br, so to do it now, I'd have to go back and redo a lot of stuff. But in the future, I will. Sorry about that.
As expected left spin on br is amazing. Losing against fafnir however makes it a dangerous pick against other left spin, would be interested to see how well legend spryzen does against it with a mobile attack setup.

Not necessarily, the only Bey that has beaten Balkesh consistently no matter the combo Balkesh was on, based on the tests posted on here, is Fafnir. Spryzen Requiem can beat it if Balkesh is on atomic, but it's risky to use it in left spin against it. Garuda on Atomic can beat Balkesh on Bearing consistently too, but I think Fafnir is the ultimate counter to it. The other left spins either was shut down or had trouble, as even Hell Salamander has some trouble beating it. Arc Balkesh is probably one of Hasbro's most strongest Layers currently. I kind of have my doubts about Legend Spryzen getting consistent wins, I think it will have a 50% win rate at best.

Also @[Rebel Blader], the B3.7B.Br vs. SRS3.7/0.Br tests were done before you posted about switching the Bearings, just wanted to let you know.
Wow it's crazy the only losses so far are against fafnir. Turning out to be my favorite bey and not on just looks alone lol.

I really thought spryzen requiem would be bursting B3 every time, wild.
