Funny to see electronic drivers win, want to know more. (Also where’s the SK stuff? I thought they would make it to top 3, )

I will do a write up on my experience with SK layers soon.  They did not perform well for me and I played almost the same deck as Mitchjett but with SK layers.

The electronic drivers have amazing same spin and decent opposite, and they're the right weight for GT. There's a reason they are banned from Limited. 

I'm most surprised by the lack of rubber tipped attack personally.

I agree. Electric drivers have insane same spin, and if paired with the right layer they can tie with bearing and Xt+ but they don’t beat them in opposite spin. Plus their height reduces layer to layer contact and helps with KO defense. 

There were a lot of people using judgement, but it was a bit disappointing to not see Zwei or imperial. I saw imperial 2 times and Zwei I only saw 1 time. Rubber tips weren’t used too much besides me in the first round and I think primeburst used judgement Diabolos vanguard xtreme’? But the tips were destroy’, reboot’, and the rest I forget. The tips seemed to be just what the Blader using judgement felt comfortable with.

That sounds about right for your group, but I am sure Killerphantom also played judgment on rubber flat.  He switched around tho I think?  Bc he also played judgment.Shot in 1-2 matches at least.  My group, I used Judgment X’ and at least saw 1 more judgment and 1 more Zwei on some type of rubber flat that I can no longer remember.

Yeah he switched it up. He only used judgement vanguard xtreme’ I think 3 times? I played against his Judgement on Shot, I think you judged that match with me and him. And as for your deck, I didn’t see what you were using but you said you used almost the same thing as Mitchjett but with SK layers? You mentioned to me Abyss bursted and I saw you using curse solomon on Ig’ one e. Was your deck Abyss on Hybrid, Curse Solomon on Ig’, and Master Wh(H)Xt+? Mitchjett used Master Spriggan Wh(H)Xt+ for about 4 matches I think, but it wasn’t on the winning combos list. Did you not see him use it, or was it just by accident that it wasn’t written? And I really do think we all overestimated the SK layers abilities. It may even be to the point that we don’t need to ban any, or even ban chips Like Solomon or Lucifer 2.

I never played my deck without abyss and curse for the whole event and that was on purpose.  The 3rd bey I used Judgment X’ (4), Master.Xt+(2), pP.Vl (1) out of the 7 rounds iirc. 

Mitchjett only played master in 2 rounds, this I am positive.  After losing with it he lost confidence and only played imperial.Ds’.  I do not believe Mitchjett won with Master at all, this is according to him, so it wouldn’t make the list per how the winning combo list works.  There might have been a round that master was in Mitchjett’s deck but didn’t see play.  I just know that he was not happy with it at all.  No matter what it couldn’t have been 4 rounds as he played you in round 3 and lost to you.  Master losing each time it came up.  He switched completely off Master after that.

And of course I can’t see ever match.  I have to run the event and judge at times.  I have to rely on what people tell me they played.

Ah, makes sense. Unranked events are the perfect time to try new things, and especially in this case since it’s the first BGT tournament in general. And I think I remember seeing Master win against one of Plinkplinks combos when Mitchjett used it? But I’m likely remembering that wrong. And cross was an interesting choice for imperial when Mitchjett switched to it. When I saw it, I thought the frame was under because it looked like it was pink from a distance.

I can only go by what I am told so I can’t be certain.  Judging and working the brackets actually make it so that I generally see less than everyone else.  All I know is Mitchjett was very unhappy with Master and said it only lost.  He could have misremembered too.  

And no that is my mistake, it’s not cross, it’s expand.

Out of pure curiosity is the Wh in the combos you’re talking about suppose to be Wheel?

Okay. Makes sense now. I saw the (H) next to it but it was right next to Xt+ and I wasn’t sure if he was saying high xtend or not. Thanks for clarifying it for me.

I see a lot of Dynamites with the F-Gear but not the L-Gear. At a glance, it looks like free weight. Is there a reason why the L-Gear is not being used?

High mode is best for opposite spin match up with same spin it lagging behind by a bit, with L-Gear since you are perma high mode you are less likely to win against same spin and you could just get counterpicked in deck with right vs right and not get the left bey you wanted to battle against.

The gear itself is solid but to get the matchup needed is hard to do

That’s pretty incredible to see a triple Xtreme deck. I suppose they are in bold bc they were impressively in the same deck?! They won a point each at least as well. I don’t think I can pull off a point with DB F gear.Xtreme in all honesty. That’s pretty special and shows a level of mastery that is impressive imo. So glad the variant driver rule is gone so the winning combo list has a chance look like this.

I was impressed as well. I can't lie when he came up with it I was thinking, "he's about to go 0-5 hard lol" but once the battle started I got really hype. The Xtreme is legit and honestly I'd love to see it more. It was by far my favorite battles to watch of the day. I think I will definitely try to start incorporating more hardcore attack in my future combos

I was asked several times why I didn’t support the variant driver rule.  I think this clearly says why.  Ppl should be able to play what they want within reason.  If they can pull off something like this, it just bring such excitement to the community. To go against convention and against the grain.  To have success with each combo too so they all showed up!!!  Incredible really.  If any thing tells us why the variant driver rule was correctly removed, this is it.

I don’t think I have the guts to try triple attack tbh, but this is just so cool.  Much more of a flex than spelling inappropriate words with combos.

There were some discussions yesterday regarding the rule of course. Some for and some against and I can see both sides. But someone said something very eye opening to me, that its not really the rules that create the headache of stamina lag battles, its the players. True we can go double drift or double bearing and that would be the easier wins but the triple Xtreme is on the opposite end with a lot of skill base and hard hitting excitement. It just all depends on what the players want to do with the game. Safe gets wins for sure but what is fun will always be much more exciting! 😎

I agree.  I was also asked when has a triple or double Xtreme deck ever shown up in winning combos?  Like why do they matter if they can’t make a showing?  Well, I guess they can.

And this was exactly the argument against it: just let people choose. Even if they want to use all X-type (even I would be wary of that, just because there's not a great place for X itself to be except rage which I think lacks the power now). I don't know what side Allen falls on but I'm pretty sure we can all agree it's cool to see the change up that happens when people are able to use what they want. Scoring points with any of those combos except the guilty one is super impressive!
