You mean Octa from orichalcum right because there's no Omega driver

It doesn't really burst anything so far but that's just one video.
Yeah, Also It's 11 August already In japan? or he got early//

@[Adarsh Abhinav], Japan and India have around the same timing, Japan is just 3 hours and 30 mins of India. But did you post in a joking way or were you serious about that?
RE: B-120 Starter Buster Xcalibur 1' Sword - Jinbee - Aug. 09, 2018
My thoughts:
Buster Xcalibur - The layer is definitely lighter than I thought, I thought it would at least pass the 20 grams mark but not quite. The attack power so far doesn't seem all that great, but it's still only one video. The sword isn't spring loaded like I would expect.
1' - This is heavier than I thought, but then again 1 only weighed around 21 grams so making it heavier would make sense.
Sword - It's about as Heavy as I expected and more aggressive than I would imagine on Xcalibur.
Overall, the balance sometimes seems better than the previous Xcaliburs, it could outspin Forneus which is impressive but again doesn't seem to demonstrate amazing attack so far but it is just stock so...

fine but whatever
sword is heavier than anything other than octa, an obscure, non-retail special release, costing hundreds of dollars, and only rarely available on the japanese secondary market.
also, tN is a 2nd rate right spin attack layer, at best, in the cho-z era.
and smash attack on tN has always been a waste of time, even during the brief period when tN was an alpha layer

Yep, sounds like a top tier like 0,12 and 7.
RE: B-120 Starter Buster Xcalibur 1' Sword - bblader/90 - Aug. 09, 2018
Winning Valkyrie could burst all those cho-zs even if its disc and driver are much lighter than the ones of Buster Xcalibur. bX is very disappointing so far...

as far as actual performance data, we have slightly more than absolutely nothing at this point...
let’s not be premature in our assertions
i continue to see tons of potential with bX
but if Sword is as good as it looks, odds are the bX layer and 1’ disc won’t both be great as well
TT doesn’t usually release 3 killer new parts together. odds are at least one will be “zeta’d”

Yeah, but i'm talking about stock combos. wV showed immediately what it was capable of, even with the useless 12 disc and well...volcanic. That's saying something...
bX could be much stronger on other combos, as you rightly mentioned it will take some time to find the right parts for it since it hasn't even been released yet...

Yeah but the swords on the sword driver could cause scraping. This looks like it will be outclassed by iron

yes it might scrape, but we don’t know how severely yet.
either scraping in a pure attack combo is not a big deal anyways. stamina is already being compromised. yes there is an optimized range of what is acceptable, but it’s pretty wide for most use cases involving flat drivers.

Still it could make the difference between a win and a loss in a tournament

The best you can do with Volcanic is weight it down as much as possible with 10/0 and Bump/Lift to get control over it, because speed is already something Volcanic has in excess to the point where it tends to fly out of the stadium. I have no clue why you think 12 increasing speed is good here when that only makes it more likely to go flying out, especially since it doesn't affect the flower pattern at all and Volcanic can barely hold that pattern anyways.
If we really wanted a lighter disk we'd be better off using 4 or 5, which were both run at some point in the competitive scene as viable alternatives.
RE: B-120 Starter Buster Xcalibur 1' Sword - MonoDragon - Aug. 10, 2018
What I can theorize from how Buster Xcalibur looks:
Layer: A stronger, heavier Sieg Xcalibur, though it probably has a higher Burst risk than Winning Valkyrie and it might struggle much more against Left Spin opponents. So we'll have three viable Attack Layers, Buster Xcalibur for Right Spin opponents, Bloody Longinus for Left Spin opponents and Winning Valkyrie for either of the two
Disk: A variation on 1, if it's heavier, than that's a good thing, better synergy with the Layer. If it's lighter, than it's a dust collector.
Driver: Terrible, Terrible, Terrible. The wide Jaggy-esque metal tip will have an even harder time maintaining a banking pattern than Iron (which also could only barely hold it), have less Stamina than Iron and the metal forks sticking out of it will create a scrape risk that no Frame could possibly make up for. Finally, taller heights on Attack Types never work out well
RE: B-120 Starter Buster Xcalibur 1' Sword - Valtryek Aoi - Aug. 10, 2018
Sword may not be so good but it makes up a bit with the power from Fourth Impact
Kind of reminds me how they tried to make up for Vise Leopard's Lift Disc Frame issue by giving it Destroy and the fact that Lift has pretty good power. Just need to watch out for scraping and Vise Leopard becomes way better. P.S. (If you don't mind losing weight and gaining speed you can take the Disc Frame off)
