YUSSSS DARK WON
Congratulations man, it's great to see you back. I am kinda bummed Def didn't place though, seeing as it's his last event for at least a while.

Same with Dark Deathscyther, at least to some degree. Both had already been out for basically a month. I certainly had not written off both parts yet–especially Dark Deathscyther having found that it could beat Odin–but I guess nobody was comfortable enough with them yet even if they had found them to be good because nobody else had done so competitively yet. Now that everyone has validated how good both parts are, there's very little apprehension to using them.

I actually didn't own D2 or W2 until I won them both at Beyblade North haha. I had written D2 off at that point, but I was definitely planning to buy W2 off Kei at some point to test Orbit. I know for sure I would have used Orbit in some Burst-based combo (probably Defensive like NAO or K2AO since it is able to avoid the more stationary Burst Attackers) if I had more time to experiment with it.
What led me to discover D2_O and give D2 another shot was that D2GO was one of the random combos Brad had built and left at one of the stadiums; maybe that was also the same way Brad, Kei, and 1234 found out about it. I had the misfortune of running into it during the tournament while using NKR, and while I managed to beat it 3-2 (after going down 0-2 I switched to the power launch and narrowly won the next 3 rounds by OS) it definitely scared me enough to caught my attention. I tried D2GO out later that night (after the Burst tournament was already over lol) and it could OS NKR and DKR consistently. The next day during the Deck Rotation tryout I pulled it against 1234beyblade and was surprised to see him using the exact same combo, haha. I was like "wait, how did you figure that out too?"
I've found that D2_O is able to destabilize Revolve combos using Dark Deathscyther's slopes to exploit Revolve's precession, but I've also noticed it struggles against non-Revolve based Stamina (Kei was able to OS my D2GO using Deathscyther Spread? Gyro) since those Beyblades tend to use a tip with a smaller circumference which does not lose as much Stamina when forced to precess early in the match. I imagine Defense (Driver) would be particularly resistant to Orbit as well since it a ball rather than a D-series tip. Being plastic-tipped it is probably relatively easy to KO using an Xtreme based combo.
EDIT: Forgot to add this yesterday, but D2 is really nowhere near as unbalanced as everyone makes it out to be. Sure, all Layers are naturally unbalanced to some degree due to their Chrome-Wheel based designs, but the clear and colored plastics in D2 balance each other out rather nicely. Maybe it is an illusion people have based on the way the Layer looks? Or maybe I just happen to have a D2 with exceptional balance (which would also explain why D2GO beats D_R for me but not 1234beyblade).
