[Takara Tomy]  Drift Driver Testing and Discussion

A thread to test and discuss the Drift driver.
Opposite spin tests (Click to View)
Same spin tests (Click to View)
Feel free to post test requests below, but do note that I won't test your combination unless you give me a combination to put it up against.
I wanna test drift as left spin counter (with a right spin layer)
Jet Solomon (or Hyperion II or spriggan/diabolos) 2B drift MCC vs World sprigan 2B zone'+z pls
Glide Hyperion2 Drift 2B (MCC) vs Mirage Helios2 Wheel Zone'+Z 1S (MCC)

10 rounds
Jet Hyperion II MCC 2B Drift : 9 OS
World Spriggan 2B (Fixed) Zone'+Z (left) : 1 OS
Man, Drift is a monster in opposite spin.

10 rounds. many ties like the previous combo test.
Glide Hyperion2 MCC Drift 2B : 10 OS
Mirage Helios2 MCC Wheel Zone'+Z 1S : 0
World Spriggan 2B drift vs World Spriggan 2B (free) atomic (same spin)
Tempest Solomon Wheel Drift 1S VS Tempest Solomon Wheel Zone'+Z 1S
Curious to see how well it could do in same spin against sth like Zone'+Z

I don't have access to two Tempest rings, two Solomon chips, or two Wheel disks, but I could do (Right) World Spriggan Drift 2A VS (Right) World Spriggan Zone'+Z 2A. Should still work for the sake of the comparison, let me know if you'd like me to do that.

I'll be able to run this one today. Just to make sure, you'd like both 2Bs in defense mode, correct?

yes please
World Spriggan Drift 2A vs World Spriggan Zone+Z 2A(both in right spin)

(Right)World Spriggan 0Cross Drift 1S vs Mirage Spriggan 0Cross Zone+Z 1S

Sure, thanks a lot!
Can't say I didn't expect this; for all the LAD Drift has its same-spin performance isn't all that good.

You should see it on Wheel. People seem to ignore the success it has on wheel, but I’ve done very well at tournaments using combos like MCC Tempest Hyperion2 Wheel Drift 1S and Hollow Lucifer2 Wheel Drift 1S. I will post testing later showing their opposite spin and same spin LAD.
Mirage Helios2 Drift 2B (MCC) Vs Spriggan Volcano Kou Zone'Z

Darn it, accidentally used World instead of Mirage. I'll edit the Mirage test into this post shortly, but in the meantime, here's the World test I did on accident:
(MCC) World Helios2 Drift 2B (Defense) VS Spriggan Volcano Kou Zone'+Z
World Helios2: 90% (9 OS)
Spriggan Volcano: 10% (1 OS)

(MCC) Mirage Helios2 Drift 2B VS Spriggan Volcano Kou Zone'+Z
Mirage Helios2: 70% (7 OS)
Spriggan Volcano: 30% (3 OS)

BuilderROB beat me to the punch, but Wheel is where Drift gets insane in both its same and opposite spin abilities.

Same and Opp? Interesting.

Wait,how?does Wheel's OWD somehow help it reduce scraping or something?because the aggressive movement of Drift caused by scraping is the main reason everyone considers it bad in same spin. Mobius had a similar problem, though to a lesser degree but was still pretty bad.

Yes, Wheel's OWD helps it keep scraping at a minimum. It also helps prevent the unnecessary and quite detrimental aggressive behavior that both Drift and Mobius suffer from, further improving its same spin stamina.
Woah beyblading at the intense extreme may I ask that you do a stock combo battle Lc2T.皇.Dr vs WSp.U' 2B just to see how the tip pairs with its own bey once I get world spriggan I will redo the tests myself and we can compare notes.

Woah it shut down Mirage Fafnir and Curse...
Thanks for the insightful tests.

Oh wait your 2D is awakened. No wonder. The rubber is very good for this Mirage combo so without it it lost.

Are you...kidding me? It doesn’t matter that they’re made of rubber, #Fafnir has done several tests with awakened 2D, and awakened 2D is definitely better than regular 2D. If anything, the rubber wings cause stamina loss due to scraping.
K.. Lets try Tempest Lucifer2 Wheel Drift 1S vs World Solomon Bearing 2B (MCC, Free Spin)

*if you don't have Solomon, you can just use Hyperion2. Im fine with either.*
Based on testing does anyone thing drift over extend+? I am really not sure...
