Accel and Zephyr are known to have really good tornado stalling capabilities (effectively making them mobile Stamina Drivers) and the super tight spring means that they only lose when they're KOed or when an opponent's raw Stamina is better than the Tornado Staller. Combos with high Stamina shouldn't be so hard to Burst, since they're meant to lose to Attack Beys.
I'm not familiar with burst classic but can't you use something like Atomic or Bearing?

Kind of obvious. One has great stamina and the other has great defense.

Then why aren't they banned in the regular competition?

Both are banned.

Only Hasbro's Bearing is banned because it's too tight.

There aren't as many things that can counter Atomic in Classic as in Standard. In Standard, you can use a lot of things to out-LAD Atomic, but most people would be using Atomic on Right Spin combos in Classic, meaning that only Dragoon S, Dragoon F, and Dragoon V combos with high LAD can consistently outspin it, which is rare because Hasbro Bearing is banned, no one uses TT Bearing, Xtend+ is banned, and Dragoon F isn't used on Destroy very often.

Illegal
αssault'

Recent events have proven αssault' to perform similarly to the banned Accel' and Zephyr' Drivers.
Then why is accel’ and zephyr’ banned?

I believe it has something to do with its tornado stalling movements while preserving it's own stamina: simply put, high stamina dash drivers

I guess I can kind of understand, but I believe that Master and Legend should be unbanned due to their angles being changed as opposed to Sr, CZ-S and LS being essentially straight and not really changing anything other than direction.

You can change the spin direction to give you the advantage to the opponent, which is unfair.

then they should get a bey that can change spin direction too IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT!! if someone has a very strong bey and the other person doesn't it's their fault for not getting any strong beys

You aren't seeing the bigger picture here. If someone could change rotation mid battle, they can change the way the battle ends. Using dual rotation would be like bringing a gun to a sword fight. Some people CAN make it into the high ranks of tourneys with what they have. So instead of saying "it's their fault for not having strong beys", respect those who get by with what they can get, not with the top tier parts.

Busy is right here. Just saying "It's fine because everyone else can get it" just doesn't work. It's something done to prevent a part from causing an issue of some variety, especially in deck format matches where you can only have 3 beys. You shouldn't need to have 3 dual-spin beys for that just so your opponent can't screw you over while you have no chance to retaliate.
Hi I'm new if xtend+ is banned is xtend banned? Cause if it's not I have a xtend and I like it quite a bit.
Xtend is not banned, Xtend+’s mode changing ability’s are far superior and more overpowered than Xtend’s so that’s why it isn’t banned in BSC
