These testing videos are in response to the recent discussions brought about up by some people if RDF should be legalized under a ranked clause for MFL. While I don't personally understand the mindset of why people feel it should be legalized, I feel doing testing of it would help bring more cohesive results and organized discussion about it rather than doing a cat and mouse argument on why it should/shouldn't be legalized under a ranked clause as shown by WBO Staff member Shindog who has made several testing videos of his own on his YT channel.
All tests were done in one session in the Summit BB-10 Repro stadium.

While the results of both tests were the same, I feel it can still skew either way, making it hard for me to determine my take on RDF in MFL as a ranked clause atm.
Some Q&A:
Question: Why did you use Gravity Perseus 100 RDF for your testing?
Answer: I feel low Gravity RDF would be the most common RDF combo to run in MFL if it were to be legalized based on the results of how well low Gravity RB does against LTAC combos.
Question: Will you test the other banned wheels (Hell, Omega, and Hasscythe) against RDF?
Answer: Most likely not really. My main reason is that since Gravity is legal in MFL by default, I don't think testing with the banned wheels would be super relevant in the discussion unless if people were to request testing with them.
Question: Will you test Gravity RDF against same-spin?
Answer: Not really. I feel the common consensus of RDF being legal in MFL is that people will usually choose to run opposite spin gravity to usually stonewall their opponent's attack options which would be super polarizing and hectic especially if people go to events without the dual spin restriction ranked clause on gravity being in place which exacerbates the issue a bit.
My next testing videos will be Gravity RDF against DK and Lightning most likely. I will most likely not do non-attack testing against Gravity RDF unless people request it. I feel that running prominent stamina options such as Meteo EWD/W2D and Flame 230 CS/MB just to beat opposite spin RDF is a bit disingenuous since the point of opposite spin RDF combos is to just wall out attack imo.
Please feel free to request any testing ideas that would be super relevant to the discussion.
