i always like it when they try to subtly encourage you to customize stuff. like how youre supposed to use the T on drake and R on goat because they match the gear chips, I sure wish theyd do stuff like that that more often

>>11542890
Is this going to have the dimensions of the Hasbro extreme stadium as opposed to the original Takara extreme stadium? This box is noticeably taller than it is wide which makes me think of the Hasbro stadium

hasbro's goat isn't even widely available yet and they're already making "the better goat"
also interesting that TT's releasing a hasbro-sized stadium, albeit with a new gimmick

Should I just cancel my shark scale order on beysnbricks? I think I'd be better off just getting it from Amazon at this point

>>11543163
They're taking forever this time.

>preordered my Shark Scale late

>it arrived this Monday despite traveling cross county and me doing basic shipping
So I just got lucky or something? I'm not bragging either, but in the last thread I remember some anons saying they knew some people receiving their Shark Scale from Beys & Brick so when I received my notice I assumed that we finally reach the 'end of the month' period they were talking about so everybody was getting theirs.

>>11543268
>So I just got lucky or something?
I guess so if you got yours shipped and delivered in like 3 days. This is the middle of the last week of August and mine still hasn't shipped yet.

Idea for a new blade type. I call them "+ Blades". While most beys receive mold changes to improve their durability, + blades are radical mold changes made to improve a blade's performance relative to the popular meta. These changes can range from significant weight increases to improved weight distribution. Any blade is eligible for a + variant, as long as it's at least two years old and isn't still popular with competitive bladers.

>>11543838
>as long as it's at least two years old and isn't still popular with competitive bladers.
Learn to let go. Nothing can be good forever.

>>11543838
I also have an idea for a new blade type, it's called a "cram blade" with the idea being that they are shaped specifically to create beys of optimal crammability

>>11543838
That just sounds like pointless busy work. What Beyblade X is going through is seen in Pokemon, fighting games, team based shooters, even previous iterations of Beyblade. Some parts are just good and even if they did decide to go back and make side grades to blades that underperformed, that doesn’t automatically mean everybody is going to start using them. Even worse people may believe nothing’s really changed and keep using Wizard Rod regardless which would beg the question ‘Why did they pour resources into the endeavor in the first place?’

We don’t know how many years longer X is going to go on, but better to run its course then try and course change itself three years in, and if there’s a blade you enjoy but wish were better, ah well.

anyone find any cool combos with WB (WallBall)?
been liking it on silver wolf and naturally it helps wizard rod stay up straight even longer than usual

I'm convinced that the Bey Bundle two packs are priced that low because the Wizard Rods are manufacturing rejects. Two out of the three I've bought have had Rods under 35g, with the third one at 35 on the dot. All of the TT yellow ones and Hasbro green ones I've had have been at least 35.3 or higher.

I want more winders and launchers of different colors

i'm a boomer who collected during the plastic era and completely lost interest at the start of the metal era. i'm always surprised whenever i see that the metal ones are still being made and are still popular

>>11544971
Anon, X is generation 4 of beyblade, there was a whole other plastic gen between metal and X.
They're actually remaking plastic and metal Gen beys in the new system, if you wanted to check this era out.

Three episodes into the X anime thus far. Waited until Netflix had all of season 1 since A) I don't care that it's dubbed and B) I've been reading the manga so I already know the major story beats. The bey battles themselves are fine, but the one thing that's going to take the wind out of my sails are the lauches. Growing up with OG I remember teams having launchers made out of guitars, sports equipment, weaponry, it made the Beyblades themselves feel more personal as if they were an extension of the blader wielding it. Same thing when I got back into Beyblade with Burst. Seeing the major characters have their own launch techniques and stances was fun, if a bit wild but that was part of the charm.

Metal Saga and X the beyblade feel so store bought, which makes sense because that's literally the case in both eras. Since anybody can own a Shark Edge like how Hikaru wasn't the only blader to wield an Aquario, it takes away from the uniqueness of the individual beyblades and the bladers save the ones that use the UX and CX beys. Either way I already know how this'll all play out, so I'm just enjoying the ride.

>>11544971
>i'm always surprised whenever i see that the metal ones are still being made and are still popular
Well first off, like >>11545053 said they're not "still" being made, it's just that the current generation is also metal. But also, why are you surprised? The metal beys make for better matches that are more exciting to play and watch, so of course they're popular.

>>11545127
It's probably more of a "that still exists?" kinda surprise. I know I felt that way when I first saw Burst back in 2017 or 2018

>>11545148
I'm honestly more surprised that we're only on the 4th generation, it's kind of impressive that they actually commit to their systems for as long as they do instead of pushing out new shit and forcing people to replace everything for competitive play constantly like most games do.

>>11545148
Funny thing about that. Hasbro's MFB run went from 2010 to 2014; meaning, if you knew how to import, you were getting Beyblade Burst the year after Hasbro wrapped up MFB(Burst premiered in 2015).

>>11545065
Bird's anime loss to Ciel is much worse than the manga version.

>beysandbricks still hasn't shipped my Shark preorder
>other sites just have the set in stock now

>>11545599
If it makes you feel any better, amazon won't send mine for like a week

so without getting too into politics, should I just assume my sol eclipse pre-order on beys is going to get cancelled sooner or later?

>>11545835
No?

I sent in a ticket to BeysnBricks to ask if my payment didnt go through or something like that. this is what I got yesterday. Goddamn

>>11545931
I got the same 2-sentence response with a "this week" and it still hasn't. Tomorrow's Saturday, so I guess mine will be a "next week" too.

>>11545338
Wait, I thought Bird wins against Kamen Z in the anime compared to his self burst in the manga. Also I found out that Black Shell was changed to Obsidian for some nebulous reason.

>>11546182
>Black Shell was changed to Obsidian for some nebulous reason.
The name changes are a combination of copyright and western sensibilities, black shell and silver wolf are too generic for hasbro, the hells line was changed because Americans suffer from satanic panic to this day.

>>11546206
>Americans suffer from satanic panic to this day
>this same country thought replacing Kreis Satan with Kinetic Satomb, the fusion of fucking Satan and tomb was a good idea
I'm American as well, but some of the choices we make are beyond stupid. At the same time they were able to get by Deathscyther with Doomscizor to make it work, but they really fucked up with Incindeo.

I can taste it again. A Shinobi Shadow combo that works. I only need a 6-60 and a second copy of Dot.
Without trying to sound retarded, in you guys' experience, what does 6-60 do? In my experience with 6-80, it seems to be like 4 ratchets but without bursting every battle.

>>11546798
>Without trying to sound retarded
>Dot

>>11546798
>I can taste it again. A Shinobi Shadow combo that works.
You're not going to find that. I don't know when you people are going to accept that some things are just bad no matter how many new ways you try them. If they were meant to be better than they are, they would be. You wouldn't have to keep trying to make something work.
>what does 6-60 do?
6-60 is a slightly more balanced 3-60 in exchange for a higher burst risk. It's only really good on 3-sided blades with more than 3 contact points, which is basically just Phoenix Wing and Knight Mail. Even then, 1-60 and 3-60 are still better choices. Dot is just a terrible part.

Five purchases into the cerberus random booster and looking at an 80 dollar guaranteed cerberus flame and only just now realized I would unironically have saved money if I just cucked and bought a full set

>>11547278
Or. OR. Wait until it released outside Japan as a stand-alone? You can buy Shark Edge on its own at Target, what makes you think they won't do the same for a CX Beyblade?

>>11547327
nta but I have very low hopes for the "second prize" in CX lines ever hitting stateside. never mind if you want any of the other potential picks. for the main prizes though, yeah buying the TT release is something that should only be done due to impatience. and I'm speaking as someone that spent $60 on a flame myself.
that said you should never roll a random booster unless you're certain you'd be at least a little happy with whatever you pull. it's a gamble, and the main thing about gambling is that you usually lose.

>>11547334
That's the thing, unless you want to gamble and maybe get extras of certain parts in case you do get the prize bey from the random boosters, you may as well wait for the western release. This isn't the dark ages of Burst anymore, just a few extra months wait isn't going to kill anybody unless they really want something that bad as you've stated.

New, from Takara Tomy -- The BLADE RUINER ARENA !!

>>11547389
>release Drop Stadium to destroy your bits
>release Infinity Stadium to destroy your blades

>>11547389
>>11547551
They should make one with areas at different elevations to ruin your ratchets next.

>>11547726
Motorized metal toothed anti-gear saws. Slightly elevated so they don't interact with the gears on bits, unless they get knocked into it and get anti spin gear flung. It's perfect for shredding ratchets.

>>11547726
They already did that, the electronic stadium with the lowering center ring.

Retvrn

>>11547893
I've been picking up the HMS repros because I'll be fucked if I'm spending $1000 on Shining God MS.

>>11548118
Beyblade kind of died out around me by the time HMS was coming out. I bought the four Bladebreakers and Strata Dragoon from Toys r us, but I never found anything else after that. Silver Wolf is one of my most used Beys now, so I'd love to get Wolborg MS at some point.

The ratchet system is fundamentally broken and needs a complete redesign because as it stands, less than 40% of the ratchet pool only gets used in standard format. The rest of the ratchet pool is only usable in meme formats.

>>11548335
Yeah I don't like it either, butt he problem is they're designing ratchets to be bad. If the fucking stopped doing that then we could be exploring all kind of useful combinations. Make 2 sided ratchets good again!

>>11548335
Some parts are going to be useless no matter what, that's just how things are, but I do think ratchets are the weak link in terms of making height variation more important. They can never have something like plastic or Metal Fight height differences because being taller is almost always a liability that makes you weak to ratchet bursts. It's like putting a knife to your own neck.

Finally getting my Shark Set tomorrow. But for yall that have had it for a while now, what's your opinion on the 4-50 ratchet and Under Flat?

I was hoping to put both on Blast Slash to lower the height, but how would either ratchet do on Tyranno Beat, or Phoenix Wing or whatever?

>>11548335
>>11548882
Taller ones should just be less burst prone
Would be neat if there were also more ratchet gimmicks, beyond just "this one is more round than the others"

>>11549171
>4-50
Can burst, at least when BeybladeGeeks did their stock testing, but it's very circumstantial (and happened against Viper Tail of all beys).
>Under Flat
Hard to control, somehow doesn't kill itself faster than Low Flat.

If stock Shark Scale gets all its hits in before petering out, it'll likely win. Just be careful against heavier, taller loadouts because being short also works against it due to recoil.

Straight up best combos for hover wyvern and shark scale?

>>11550158
In stores now

>>11542890
Street niggas are gonna power rip this bitch only to R.I.P. their beys instantly, and catch shrapnel from the blast.

my hasbro wolf just came in, which molds are the good ones again? mine's A2

>>11550154
HW 7-60 Kick
SS 4-50 low rush/level (i prefer low rush)

>Hasbro stuff finally restocked on amazon
>Except for Hornet
what

>>11550897
I believe it was A8, but I could be wrong. Maybe if you look it up in Japanese, either youtube or twitter, they often like to show their discoveries with detailed and clear graphics.

What does Cyclone/Vortex do?

>>11551941
The grooves push against the stadium for extra acceleration. Cyclone does this for left spin beys, vortex does this for right spin beys.

>>11552587
I finally got a Vortex, Dragoon and Whale are my worst postponements yet, and it goes crazy on the stadium.
I'm kind of surprised it's not more used when it's like a crazier Rush. Yeah, Cyclone was a dud because everyone went after making Dragoon into X's Fafnir/L-Drago but Vortex goes on and on into the rail.

Has anyone had any success with it?

>thinking of buying another Drop Stadium because my Hover is getting worn and want a spare
>afraid they'll announce it as a random booster select or something where I could get three for the same price
It has to be soon, right?

>>11553702
there's no way in hell I can see buying a whole arena just for one beyblade as justifiable. getting it for two you don't have yet or desperately need to replace and having a new gimmick arena to fiddle with, sure. anything else just pay the scalper fee on ebay for it individually.

>>11553156
what

>>11553906
I think they mean an assist blade with its weight focused to one side.

>>11553702
>>11553709
It also comes with Impact Drake. I got mine on discount for it and the Hover Wyvern, which came at about the price of two Takara beys.

>>11553709
