(Note: As of this thread's opening, Imperfect Phoenix is banned in Burst Limited.)
This is another "well if Shining/Shadow Amaterios exists in this format, what about another similar layer?" sort of thread. Except this time I'm saying upfront that I feel like sA is OP and that iP is worse than it. But lets see if iP is balanced.
Same Spin Stamina
Imperfect Phoenix.Outer.Orbit vs Alter Chronos.Outer.Orbit
(Simultaneous launching)
iP.outer.O: 3 wins (3 OS)
aC.outer.O: 7 wins (7 OS)
Ties: 2
Notes: Armor came off 3 rounds.
Imperfect Phoenix.Outer.Orbit vs Twin Nemesis.Outer.Orbit (upper mode)
(Simultaneous launching)
iP.outer.O: 6 wins (6 OS)
tN.outer.O: 4 wins (4 OS)
Ties: 3 (1 DB)
Notes: Armor came off 4 rounds.
Imperfect Phoenix.Outer.Orbit vs Shining Amaterios.Outer.Orbit
(Simultaneous launching)
iP.outer.O: 2 wins (2 OS)
sA.outer.O: 8 wins (8 OS)
Ties: 0
Notes: Armor came off 5 rounds.
Vs Attack
Imperfect Phoenix.00Cross.Universe vs Twin Nemesis.Outer.Assault'
(tN launched 2nd)
iP.00C.Un: 3 win (3 OS)
tN.outer.assault': 7 win (5 OS, 2 KO)
Ties: 1
Notes: Armor came off 6 rounds. I decided to use Universe because of Atomic's worse spring, making the armor come off easier. Turns out Universe is bad for this layer.
Imperfect Phoenix.00Cross.Atomic vs Twin Nemesis.Outer.Assault'
(tN launched 2nd)
iP.00C.At: 6 win (6 OS)
tN.outer.assault': 4 win (1 OS, 1 KO, 2 BF)
Ties: 1
Notes: I forgot to keep track of armor coming off count. It was like 5 or more.
Imperfect Phoenix.00Cross.Atomic vs Sieg Xcalibur.00Bump.Quick'
(sX launched 2nd)
iP.00C.At: 5 win (5 OS)
sX.00B.Qc': 5 win (3 KO, 2 BF)
Ties: 0
I think Imperfect Phoenix would be fine and potentially not even top tier for the format.
