It's objective fact that Normal Sora is better than Master and Valor, even without Guard. Not only do you get nothing in return for Guard, you're also given handicaps.

Master's "all aerial attacks" falls apart if you ever get your attacks deflected, leaving Sora stuck in a "lol, hit me now guys" pose long enough to get killed if you're fighting tough enemies or are low leveled.

Valor is absolute trash and anyone who says otherwise is lying, because Normal Sora can deal more damage except for maybe very early in the game. It also suffers from "hit me, I'm a sitting duck" syndrome like Master once your attacks get deflected, can't do Magic, and has no long range attacks.
