Was testing combos with Naru today at shogatsu and I couldn't for the life of me throw anything at D2 to make it burst. My V, with pretty good teeth on it, burst itself. X2, nothing, V2, nothing. Even my new B2 layer accomplished very little today despite initial hype.
Hold is an interesting driver, and I've noticed it consistently save the bey from self ko-ing in the early moments after a vigorous launch, but After testing stock B2 against stock X2 today and having it consistently be outspun by Impact of all things, I'm not too sure how I feel about it anymore. Can't for the life of me get it to flower pattern like I can accel/blow/zephyr.
I've considered that Trying the above layers with Xtreme rather than the plastic flat variants may yield greater success, but I'm still not overtly fond of Xtreme as an attack driver and prefer the stamina of the other flats
