Howdy ya'll, I did a live testing stream over in the Beyblade Premier server where I messed with the Spriggan 2 core, here are my results and I encourage you all to post your own. All victories were out spins.



-Right spin same spin testing-
Dynamite+F Spriggan 2 Over Bearing' -0 vs Dynamite+F Perseus Over Bearing' -0 
Perseus won 8-2 It was a massacre 

Dynamite+F Spriggan 2 Over Bearing' -0 vs Dynamite+F Hyperion Over Bearing' -0 
Hyperion Won 8-2 same as Perseus, it was brutal

Dynamite+F Spriggan 2 Over Bearing' -0 vs Dynamite+F Dragon Over Bearing' -0
These 2 tied 5-5

-Left spin same spin testing-
Vanish Spriggan 2 Over Bearing' -0 vs Vanish Achilles Over Bearing' -0
4-6 Achilles wins much closer than the right spin testing

Vanish Spriggan 2 Over Bearing' -0 vs Vanish Longinus Over Bearing' -0
5-5 they tied


In my testing Spriggan 2 definitely had a hard time in right same spin vs other popular cores.  As you can see in same spin left spin it has more of a chance but still wasn't making decisive numbers. I should do more testing in same spin left spin and do opposite spin.

Thanks for conducting and posting these tests Trsal - great to see a little blood pumping in the forum's heart.

My initial impression of Spriggan was that it was great in left and solid in right, but my tests seem to indicate it is solid in right and quite average in left. It may just be that it is very picky in a sense.

Anyway, Testing.

Cores swapped after 5 rounds but appear quite even
Cursory balance tuning done

B09

Wind ____ Over HXt+'-3 Mirror
Methodology explainer: I use Knight as a litmus test of sorts for comparison, as it is just good enough to show the variation between other cores reasonably well - it doesn't get washed out and it doesn't hose other cores 10-0.

Spriggan2: 6
Knight: 4
All OS. This was about as well as Achilles did, good but not exceptional.

What's not shown here is that the slightest impact makes Perseus self KO even with well tuned balance. It did this no joke 22 times in he process of getting 10 valid rounds.

Phoenix: 6
Knight: 4

Spriggan2: 6
Knight: 4

Dynamite+F ____ Illegal BDr-9
Spriggan2: 5
Hyperion: 5


Vanish ___ Illegal BDr-3
It is worth noting my Vanish setups appear less eventually matched than my right spin options, so for the Spriggan matches it was kidding 0-5 every time on one of them. It's still valid due to me switching at 5 rounds, but makes it a lil less granular.

Achilles: 6
Spriggan2: 4

Helios: 6
Spriggan2: 4

Comparison I did.
Helios: 6
Achilles: 4


Overall it seems solid but not exceptional - though it's also possible sets were not as well tuned as they could be.
