[Takara Tomy]  Imperial Layer Base Testing Thread

Messing around one night and i might have actually found a good combo. All testings were done with Imperial launched first in a burst standard stadium. Imperial is fully awakened in all matches.

Notes: For full transparency, original testing was done with a judgement base that was worn much more than I thought, so i switched layer bases to a brand new one. Testing results were the same.

Feel free to replicate my testings, suggest combos to test, or test your own to see how other combos match up vs the current meta threats.

Seems a bit unusual for a combo like that to do super well. Can you do LS 00Cross Xtend+ (Stamina Mode)?

I was confused at the results as well. I knew these results would be questionable, which is why i hope someone can replicate and see if they get the same result, or if I did something horribly wrong.

Figures that would happen. You don’t have to right now, but if you want to you could try doing if you have the layer base Knockout Diabolos Sting Xtreme’.

I would if i could, but i dont have the knockout layer base yet and i only have 1 sting. I could swap the sting in the imperial combo to a blitz or something as similar weight and such, but the no knockouts is what kinda keeps me from doing it. another piece i dont have that gets requested often is destroy'

That is ok, just wondered if you could do it.

Interesting results. If you get the chance to test Imperial against Knockout I would suggest KO.Bl.X'Retsu. I've done quite a bit of testing with KO (all be it unrecorded). Blitz worked far better than Sting for me despite the slight weight advantage to Sting. Blitz sits better on the Knockout layer. You could change up the Odin chip if you wanted but I haven't found that necessary.
Can you do Imperial Achilles Sting Xtend+ (Stamina) vs Judgement Diabolos Blitz Xtreme' ?
What I was able to use was Imperial Dragon.St.Ds'. It keeps on having almost close ties against pP.Outer.Xt+ and some lucky hits against Lord Spriggan.Bl.Br

Imperial can hold its ground fair enough even using 00C.Ul' which had decent stamina to boot. I feel that the Dragon Chip ootb is tighter than using Valkyrie and even Ashura. So far, the Bursts to Imperial happens when it gets KO'd and the rubber contact points get stuck in between the walls of the pockets. It didn't even Burst against KO.00C.Ul', just half-way there.

I would've also used Kp', but I didn't like the stamina disadvantage. I tried Qc' and X' with some good matches, but Ds' is the tightest fit I can find with my limited copies.

That sounds about right. I havent actually tried the new dragon chip. I originally thought it was the same as the regular dragon chips so i just stashed it
