It's even weirder that Xcalibur got the upgraded teeth and yet even basic layers released afterwards didn't. Why didn't they use the better, wider teeth for those too?

They probably figured that people didn’t bother to use various layers. Xcalibur was really competitive at one point and whenever takara tomy has buffed a burst part it has usually always been a competitive part.

I think you're misinterpreting me here. What you're describing here sounds like an after-the-fact change, like the improved Victory Valkyrie molds they did to prevent its wings from breaking off. For Xcalibur this isn't the case at all, as it has these improved teeth from the very first release and hasn't been modified whatsoever.

Xcalibur is the first TT bey to feature wide teeth, which improved the durability of these teeth and made layers last significantly longer. Old layers like Valkyrie often needed replacement as their teeth would wear out stupidly quickly just from standard combat, and this is wayyyy back before ' drivers were ever a thing. Despite the fact that Xcalibur's wider teeth worked amazingly in preventing tooth wear, somehow they didn't continue using that until the Dual Layer era where it became the only tooth system in use.

So the question then is, if it worked to improve the tooth durability of Xcalibur... why was it left off of Neptune, Yggdrasil, and Evil-Eye which all released at the same time or afterwards and should realistically have the same upgrade? It seems like a failure in continuing to use the older, far more wear prone tooth system when they've developed one that is far superior with no downside, but for some reason they decided to hold it off until the Dual Layer system and left Xcalibur as the only wide tooth basic layer.

It's even more of a failure when they continued to rerelease these old basic layers with their original teeth instead of upgrading them, essentially opting to allow these layers to have wear issues when it's easily preventable just by changing their teeth to the new standard that Xcalibur began.

My bad for getting things wrong there. If that’s the case perhaps it has something to do with the fact that Xcalibur was an attack type. Attack types usually have or at that time had the largest teeth so maybe they figured tooth wear would be considerably worse with attack types and released Xcalibur with the durable thick teeth as a result. Xcalibur was the last attack type release in the single layer system after all (not counting the  Valkyrie and Deathscyther layer releases after it since they weren’t new) and the dual layer system was only a couple months away from release so eventually they probably realized the significance of better teeth and gave all later releases thick teeth. Either that or they intentionally held off from giving the final single layers the new teeth since they suspected single layers would fall out of favour to dual layers anyways (and a lot of them did, so it wasn’t too far off).

Not bad eh?
