I mean, the Ridge riding does look a lil fun, but that’s it.
The layers are too light to be of any essence in burst standard, and are incompatible in classic formats...
At least the aesthetics are good... I guess...
The ridge riding feels like a crutch for kids that can't quite get a good offensive launching strat, and even then it's only mildly successful. Even then, if it
can act like a normal version of that driver, it's just a bonus effect you can ignore if you don't like/need it (and if your driver isn't defective, which was common for certain Slingshock drivers). It does no harm to anybody in the end. Hypersphere is just something totally different altogether. It feels sorta like using the TT Zero-G stadiums, where technically nothing's stopping you from using old layers and disks but everything else has been turned on its head. We all know about how well that went down.
Honestly, I'm less displeased by the weakened layers than you might expect. Though yes, I would love if Hasbro kept up to the same power level, as long as the layer is designed well it doesn't bother me too much since it makes it easier to compare shapes to each other across different lines of Burst instead of relying on weight creep. In that regard Hasbro is nice, as you can realistically fight older layers against newer ones without significant issues, which TT can't do well at all due to weight creep. With that being said there aren't any new layers that are coming out as threats either, so it sorta feels like its a good idea done wrong.
