DL--DC-DC--DR
----MC-MC----
AML--------AMR
------ST--ST----

The 3-2-2-2-1 Butterfly is no longer effective vs the 4-2-2-2 Hexagon

4-5-1V Motivated

-------------ST-----------
AML----------------AMR
-----MC--------MC-------
--------DMC(UP)--------
DL(UP)---DC---DC-----DR(UP)

The 4-5-1V Style Motivated is also another option to use against the 4-2-2-2 formation.
