Here are some tests I did with both modes of Salamander S4. As far as the weight goes, I got 10.65 grams when weighing the Layer. The first section was testing Same and Opposite Spin Stamina against Garuda G3, Balkesh B3, and Spryzen Requiem S3. I also had it face Caynox C3 as well as Fafnir F3. The second section was testing KO Attack and comparing its performance to Luinor L3, the best Hasbro Left Spin Attack Layer we have right now.

If the part being tested doesn't stack up to its opponents, that doesn't necessarily mean it's outclassed overall. It just means it probably isn’t as good when compared to its opponents in whatever specific thing I’m testing for, whether that be Same or Opposite Spin Stamina, KO Attack, etc. Sometimes though, more tests will need to be done in order to get more information to find out what exactly this part can be good at. These tests I’m doing are just the baseline information to tell me whether the part is better at something when being compared to another part or if it needs to be tested in other areas to find out what it can be good at.
Section 1: Same & Opposite Spin Stamina (Click to View)
I used 7 Bearing when Salamander S4 faced Balkesh B3, Caynox C3, and Fafnir F3 and 7 Atomic when Salamander S4 faced Garuda G3 and Spryzen Requiem S3. Discs and Drivers were switched halfway through the tests.

Final Thoughts (Click to View)
Neither mode of Salamander S4 look like they have as much Same Spin Stamina when compared to Balkesh B3, Fafnir F3, or (Left Spin) Spryzen Requiem S3. Neither mode of Salamander S4 also look like they have as much Opposite Spin Stamina when compared to Caynox C3, Garuda G3, or (Right Spin) Spryzen Requiem S3. Both modes of Salamander S4 seem to have a little bit of KO Attack Potential, but definitely not as much as Luinor L3. But of course, these are just a few things that Salamander S4 has been tested for. There’s always room for more testing as it can help us find out if there are other things that Salamander S4 could be good at.
