I forgot about one combo JA Industries only used for first stage which was MF-L Phantom Leone 8FMF since he only remembered just recently he used that combo.

Ok, interesting-wait. Phantom is for stamina right? isn't MF attack? also it being short=scrape???

Overall this event was my first foray into the world of GT Format, where Driger V2 makes for a terrifying destabilizer on Hasbro Tapered, where S Gear is for some reason still legal and easily makes the heaviest disk in the game, and where Friedpasta was the only one I saw all day that actually swapped out the DiabolosII chip for something other than stock.

I know Ginga also brought a Zwei Longinus attacker, but until I can confirm whether it won a point I'm leaving it off the list, because I don't remember it ever being chosen at all, just brought along for the ride.

It was a wild ride, that's for certain.

I see you haven't heard about Tornado Stallers. The whole point is that Metal Flat has incredibly high Stamina despite its movement so you can potentially outspin Meteo L-Drago combos without ever making contact, still have a good chance against pure Stamina anyways, and potentially outrun slower attackers. There's a few different ways to make stallers, but Phantom is one that works out rather well due to its raw Stamina potential.

You avoid low height scraping because Metal Flat is taller than the average tip, not that everything at low heights is scrape prone anyways.

Driger v2 tp is a Beast. Also legal in BSL.

Nx-Q+S is around the same weight as 00E depending on part variation. It's heavy but very much a GT weight part - and kinda difficult to use well. Here's the wiki weights:

Nx-Q: 24.3g
S Gear: 4.3g
Total: 28.6g

00: 25.2g
Expand: 3.4g
Total: 28.6g

A couple of the GT discs also hover around the same weight.

Convert: 28.8g
Sting: 28.7g
Blitz: 28.6g

Maybe you get lucky with Nx-Q variation as Hasbro weight variation in QD is significant, but I don't think it's a problematic part for GT.

A lot of Ultimate and very little Guilty, interesting - is there a stadium specific reason for this that you noticed? Does ultimate leave things in the pockets better or something?

We’ve got at 3 copies of Qt and none seem to be unusually weak. Nothing like OG Bearing at least. Kerbeus definitely helps mitigate the burst risk but it’s done fine on Perseus & Belial 1 too.

@th!nk it was a beast in same-spin. Easily beating Nv, HXt+’ & Br’ in the tournament.

Both of mine are weak springs, though you're not the first to claim to have a Quattro with normal spring locks. They seem to exist, though they're not particularly common? You've gotten really lucky to not just get one, but three like that.

How weak we talking Magik? Like Bearing weak?

Only time I’ve really had burst issues (and by issues I mean regularly burst, not just occasionally) was using Qt on stock Astral Spriggan

Bearing/Iron weak, yes. Both of mine act like their springs, but since the base is so heavy it's also kinda like putting that spring on Planet? I dunno, it really seems to necessitate a burst stopper of some kind to hold together for me on nearly anything that isn't by default super burst resistant.

So my iron is better than my two Br, and my Quattros are better than my Iron... So only barely weaker than normal if at all

All I can say is "part variation". I'm far from the only one that has these issues, and I've seen one personally with a spring lock stronger than both of my own copies.

There's definitely variance here, and it means that most of them are worse than yours.
