First thread for combo testing! Actually I got inspiration of the 85GF from this member:

Any Top tier Stamina, Defense, Balance, Spin Equalizer, Attack, or Anti Attack combination. The point of it being an Attack type, Tornado Staller, Anti Attack, and Balance custom combined.
The idea of this combo was to Tornado Stall, either KO opposing beys that get too close to the tornado ridge at the start (using speed of GF), OR spin equalize (left spin) + destabilize (85 track) the opponent for an out-spin. Metal Stone Face - Feather was used to maximize centrifugal force and ensure Dragooon maintained more rotations than the opponent nearing the end of the match.
Equipment
-BB-10 Attack Stadium
-Zero-G Compact Launcher L
-Light Launcher 2
-Dragooon launched first on all matches
I'm using ripcord launchers because I don't have Beylauncher L or LR.
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF vs. Phantom Orion W145WD
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF: 18 Win (8 KO, 10 OS)
Phantom Orion W145WD: 2 Win (1 KO, 1 OS)
1 Draw Redone
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF Win Rate: 90%
Reliably out-spun and knocked out. The KO from Phantom Orion was just when Dragooon rebounded off during tornado stall and self-KOed. It seemed destabilizing while spin-equalizing ensured the opponent would have less rotations than Dragooon.
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF vs. MSF-H Revizer Killerken BD145RDF

I got really bored so I stopped this test.
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF vs. Phantom Orion 230D
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF: 12 Win (2 KO, 10 OS)
Phantom Orion 230D: 8 Win (4 KO, 4 OS)
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF Win Rate: 60%
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF can actually make good contact with the opposing metal wheel even though they were on 230. However, it did need to fully destabilize Phantom to win (make their metal wheel touch the stadium and spin out). This did happen often, but not always. Sometimes Phantom won by regaining balance OR actually kind off 'countering' and force smashed Dragooon.
Once again the KOs from Phantom are really self KOs from a speeding Dragooon around the tornado ridge when Dragooon deflected off Phantom.
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF vs. MSF-F Orojya Orojya W145WD
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF: 10 Win (4 KO, 6 OS)
MSF-F Orojya Orojya W145WD: 0 Win
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF Win Rate: 100%
Clean KOs, and can out-spin by several rotations. Dragooon was clearly winning. Similar to first test against Phantom Orion W145WD.
Has a very high chance of winning against W145WD customs (possibly because of the 85 > 145 > 230 theory), but it can beat 230D customs if they can destabilize them. Ended in ties frequently with the BD145RDF defense synchrome... It would be great to test this against Duo (but I don't have >_<). I don't have SA165, F230 or E230, so I can't really test those either...

REQUESTS COMPLETED
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF vs. MSF-H Revizer Dragooon BD145RDF
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF: 15 Win (15 OS)
MSF-H Revizer Dragooon BD145RDF: 5 Win (5 OS)
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF Win Rate: 75%
This match-up entirely depended how much contact was made at the start and whether Dragooon^2 85GF was tornado stalling correctly. If Dragooon^2 85GF made contact too many times or was circling in a oval-like manner, expect to lose. Although Dragooon^2 had more stamina, it loses stamina much quicker on contact than its same-rotation spinning opponent.
During end-game, Revizer Dragooon would be at low rotation and Dragooon^2 would just have enough stamina to finish it off and win with out-spin.
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF vs. Death Aquario BD145RDF
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF: 10 Win (3 KO, 7 OS)
Death Aquario BD145RDF: 0 Win
8 Draws Redone
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF Win Rate: 100%
Same issues with MSF-H Revizer Killerken BD145RDF, once they make contact end-game, it ends in equalizing. Except Death has less stamina and also much lighter (Could get upper smashed).
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF vs. Death Aquario B:D
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF: 2 Win (2 OS)
Death Aquario B:D: 0 Win (0 OS)
10 Draws Redone
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF Win Rate: INCOMPLETE DATA
Knocking out B:D is expected if it somehow launches away from the centre. Obviously Dragooon cannot tornado stall against this (equalize on contact - ties). May need to launch differently...
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF vs. MSF-H Revizer Dragooon B:D
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF: 4 Win (4 OS)
MSF-H Revizer Dragooon B:D: 6 Win (6 OS)
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF Win Rate: 40%
I'm not sure what to say about this test... Revizer Dragooon would win depending on the balance of B:D. If it stayed upright the whole game or regained balance, it will always win by force smashing when they made contact. But if it was wobbling around the whole game on its axis, it will rapidly dwindle in stamina and lose without making any contact.
If Revizer Dragooon B:D did not have this wobbling problem from time to time, it always won. Revizer Dragooon B:D could regain balance on contact (and proceed to force smash), but as long as B:D kept on wobbling (and no contact made), it would lose.
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF vs. Phantom Gasher 85WD
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF: 3 Win (3 KO)
Phantom Gasher 85WD: 17 Win (17 OS)
9 Draws Redone
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF Win Rate: 15%
Phantom Gasher would win by about half a rotation (Had to often watch closely whether it was a draw or not) Since they're both at the same height, Dragooon couldn't destabilize the opponent very well.
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF vs. Phantom Gasher 85MF
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF: 18 Win (11 KO, 7 OS)
Phantom Gasher 85MF: 2 Win (2 KO)
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF Win Rate: 90%
Phantom Gasher 85MF (Attack Mode) was also tornado stalled.
The two KOs from Phantom were just Dragooon self-KOing after deflecting off. Otherwise Dragooon had the upper hand in both weight and preferred performance tip for spin-equalizing. Phantom was really easy to knock around and would also fall over first due to MF.
As answered by Yuko Ray14, MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF has an easy win against Phantom Gasher 85MF (Attack Mode).
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF vs. Diablo Nemesis BD145RF
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF: 14 Win (3 KO, 11 OS)
Diablo Nemesis BD145RF: 6 Win (6 KO)
2 Draws Redone
MSF-F Dragooon Dragooon 85GF Win Rate: 70%
Diablo Nemesis BD145RF was also tornado stalled.
I was thinking Dragooon would recoil a lot because it didn't have a rubber performance tip (especially when they were tornado stalled in opposite directions), but that wasn't the case. Dragooon took hits pretty well. Or maybe 'cos using Rubber Flat on a ripcord launcher weakened Diablo Nemesis BD145RF a lot.
--------------------------------------
STRENGTHS
~ Defeats defense types by tornado stalling
~ Defeats 145+ height stamina types by spin-equalizing and destabilizing.
WEAKNESSES
~ Low-track-stamina-customs
~ Dragooon stamina types (e.g. SA165EWD, B:D, AD145WD)
~ May only be able to defeat BD145RDF by completely avoiding contact; otherwise end in tie.
~ Risks of self knockout when deflected off other bey during tornado stall
~ Prone to force smash
