but for those who play at home seriously against hasbro-only opponents, caynox is a completely legit threat for those who know when and how to use it. and if you doubt that, keep practicing :)
Those kids placed 11st and 2nd by beating other kids who were probably inexperienced too. Also they used hasbro stadium. In wbo tournaments tt stadiums are used. The difference in performance of parts in both stadiums is immense. Attack is very weak in hasbro stadiums. So i wouldn't be suprised if people overlooked caynox c3 for a2,y and maybe even j2 in a wbo hasbro only tournament as they seem a bit more safe but with that being said a tight fitting caynox c3 combo can be better. So in short caynox c3 is surely one of the top stamina layers in hasbro only format but does not completely outclasses the previous layers. Plus its universally known hasbro is behind tt in terms of releases that is the reason why hasbro only tournaments must be done so that hasbro meta can be known better
i’m no fan of hasbro stadiums, but with all those pockets i wouldn’t say hasbro stadiums are weak for attack. maybe it’s just the way you are launching and the combos you are choosing.
every tournament is filled with all kinds of experience levels, winning a tournament is always a hard thing to do. do not attempt to discount the victory these kids earned, especially when you don’t attend tournaments of any type, under any format.
either way, caynox was used in the finals of a major hasbro only tournament. therefore it is by de facto, highly competitive for hasbro only tournaments. you didn’t know before, now you know ;)
