I went 1-1 with it in the finals; beat U wot m8's low-Track Scythe Stamina combo and somehow lost 3-2 to JesseObre's MF-F Duo Aquario SW145EWD (I was in position to win the tournament!
That heartbreaking loss put JesseObre, U wot m8, and I all at 2-1, which forced a tiebreak). Scythe was a bit easier to defeat because it has more recoil, and Duo almost self-KOed itself several times due to the EWD and hits from Jade that didn't knock it out.
I was using Stamina Mode because that was what I had heard was best for Attack haha. Admittedly, I didn't really test it in Defense Mode. It is more of an Attacker, yes. But given it's weight, it has decent Defense too. That said, if you're playing Dark Knight Girago 90RF, it will be outspun by it if it comes down to that.

I haven't used the RB that came with that Wing Pegasis so I don't know if there is any differences, but the one that comes with Jade Jupiter at least can be quite aggressive. Just look at the winning combinations list in the Public Tournament Data Archive for Limited and you'll see RB (or RSF) come up a lot for Toronto. We use it because it's a less risky version of RF; it sacrifices speed for controllability while still being fast enough to KO a lot of things.
One of the coolest things about this tournament was seeing what was basically the return of Earth. It had been completely overshadowed before because of Libra. Its basically non-existent recoil sets it apart from a lot of other Metal Wheels, so it was fun to see what that did to some Attackers. It really doesn't give them anything, primarily in the opposite spin match-up.
