Pretty much the same angle as Silver Wolf's ring. With CX's being naturally taller, Free should give whatever it's on the ability to destabilize opponents the same way.

alright then since this is back, might be a good thing to discuss some of the new releases. Been seeing a lot of stuff regarding the X line for a while and I have to say, the line certainly is going to have an interesting future. Honestly, Clock Mirage has been getting a lot of buzz thanks to it being possibly one of the most perfectly balanced bey in the X line so far.

>>11608493 (OP)
is that a weird mix of turbo and metal needle or am I just blind

>>11608818
There's no metal in the tip. It's basically Spiral Change for X.

>>11608493 (OP)
Mmmm, beyblade....

they're putting so much effort into making beyblade an international sensation again i'm almost sorry it's not really working
they even organized tournaments here in italy where old people outnumber kids by a lot

>>11609345
Tablet zombies don't care about spinning tops. People who grew up with Beyblade and actually know what it is do.

I hate Hexa Rod so much that I'm considering dropping it from my deck and going triple attack just to have three chances to fuck it over when the other guy has it.

>>11609510
Even though I had Rod very early I have never used it in tournaments. It just feels dishonest to the game.

>we went from galman, voltaic ape, and magical ape to no monkey beys for two gens straight to... yell kong
Why?

>>11609516
>It just feels dishonest to the game.
I banned it from games between my niece and nephew because it was the only thing winning consistently

>>11610109
don't forget Optimus Primal

>>11610160
I love Wizard Rod, I'm probably the biggest user of it at my locals, but even I wouldn't mind if the thing got a full ban from events. It creates too many feel-bad moments.

I miss Karura.

>>11610245
It doesn't really feel like a monkey bey. Where's my thick, bumpy, round defense type?

>>11610109
>>11610245
>the only two monkey beys we have are just retools of a different creature
We don't even have a real monkey yet.

What if
>kong theme
>UX
>metal part of the blade is free spinning
>0-60 elevate

Am I a fool for trying to run the stock Pegasus build? I like its design and it was the first Bey I picked during my trip to Japan so it's mine pet Bey now for better or worse.

what's a good way to store (preferably fully assembled) beyblades? I don't mean a deck box but for general collection. I've reached the point where "just chuck them in the arena" is becoming untenable

>>11611681
I have seen people online using egg trays/cases.

What’s everyone’s opinion of the infinity stadium ? I have mixed feelings about it especially when it’s so easy to self pocket .


>>11611681
There’s some bead organizers you can find at dollar stores. I used them until I had too much crap and upgraded to a fish bait box.

>>11611681
Go full tacticool and get a case with foam interior that you can shape to your preference.

hueg

I remember people expected clock mirage to be trash cause of it's ratchet-related debuff but after a few short trial runs it seems pretty solid.

>>11612001
Looks like I'm getting the set. What are the parts for the golem and shark?

>>11612091
Golem Rock has a purple M-85 and a white High Needle. Shark Gill has a white 5-60 and a sky blue Free Ball.

>>11612125
Sweet. I needed a freeball, and I owned no golem or m-85 yet; that plus the Emperor sounds like a nice enough get.

>>11609345
it's actually the same in the philippines. BBX is very popular here, but most of the players are adults. ironically during the Burst era, majority of the players were kids or young teens.

>>11611818
The Infinity Stadium is so close to perfection
>Symmetrical dish design, already a big plus
>Over Zones have no ledges whatsoever, leading to easy self-pockets
>Extreme Zone ledge is too short, also leading to easy self-pockets.
>Over Zones are not as cramped as the Xtreme Stadium's, like TT did not want to commit to having open pockets like those of the XX Motorised Stadium.
Praying they release a hotfixed version, and standalone, soon because it's a pity to see a symmetrical stadium design go to waste otherwise.

I hate the twitter e=celebs who pretend they're some important figures and claim Bey X as their own. A clique that only accepts their own kind. So insufferable.

>>11609510
Always told myself if I ever plan to compete it'll be with all Sharks. I've got Shark Edge, B4 Shark Edge, and Shark Scale, now I'm just waiting for the CX shark so I can toss away this Shelter Drake knockoff Gill Shark.

>>11610109
Are there no mythical monkeys and gods? You'd think a balance type would be perfect for some kind of primate themed Beyblade.

>>11612381
Hannuman, Sun Wukong, Shinto are animists so they have a bunch of assorted nameless animal gods, including monkeys.
I really don't get it.
And it's not as if there was never an archetype to build on. Monkeys were defense or balance types in Bakuten. At least Burst could have had something instead of white dragon, yellow dragon, purple dragon, green dragon, etc. Or maybe archetype is kind of uninteresting to them, it being compact, round defense types with small studs.

>>11612562
>Monkeys were defense or balance types in Bakuten.
I know people probably don't want more Bakuten homages at this point, but if they made proper X versions of Galeon, Galzzly, Galman, and finally made Galux into a real Bey, I'd be all for it.

>>11611818
>I used them until I had too much crap and upgraded to a fish bait box.
I wound up picking up a tackle box at walmart (nothing fancy, just the cheapest one. I think pic related) and it seems just about the right size. holds 20 comfortably, which sounds like a lot but if you're at the point where you're even considering proper storage you should probably grab a handful just to prepare in advance.

>>11612653
Most of the year one rival beys were Bakuten homages, right?
Shinobi for Saizo, Pendragon, Unicorn Sting for Unicolyon/Strike, Phoenix for Dranzer, Sphinx for Sphinxer, Leon arguably for Galeon and Driger.

>>11612846
finally, someone else who sees that shinobi is a saizo homage
you're wrong about phoenix though, garuda is dranzer. if anything, you could view it as a trygle.

>>11612846
the only explicit bakuten homages are the ones with the triangle logo, so cobalt drake/dragoon, impact drake, silver wolf/wolf hunt, black shell, crimson garuda, weiss tiger, shelter drake

>>11611818
I dont care for the symmetrical design, i prefer the original asymmetrical design that allows for more, longer x-treme dashes. I also dont know why they went with the narrower hasbro like design for it.

>>11612860
>garuda is dranzer
Yeah, I know, but I see it kind of as there being a split homage, Burn looking like the only threat to the top bladers and Karura owning the actual homage, but Phoenix being Trygle isn't that far off, yeah, both are in lore the result of extensive research and testing.

>shinobi is a saizo homage
I feel like the only fan of Saizo. Too bad not even his homages can be good.

>>11612867
Those are the more explicit ones, the others are based on or inspired on Bakuten-era motifs. Balance type lion is from Bakuten, defense type lion is from MFB, for example.

>>11609510
I'm just sick of Rod in general and I avoid using it even though I know I'd do better because I just don't want to. I have seen someone fucking around with attack Rod on LR recently with decent results though, so I might give something like that a try

>>11611535
>Am I a fool
Yes, turbo is the most retarded part they've put out in the entire X line, and the fact that they put it on one of the most meta blades in the entire line is a cruel joke.

>>11611681
Cheap tacklebox is the most common solution I've seen since you can usually fit assembled beys in the bottom and then spare parts in the top compartments. Higher effort/cost solution would be cases with foam inserts like the other anon mentioned, or if you've got access to a printer and lots of time/autism there are some pretty nice 3D printed storage box solutions you can find using gridfinity inserts to mix and match what kind of compartments you want.

>>11612001
I want this fatass waffle so bad bros

>>11612879
I've had a similar thought, as well.

>Shinobi for Saizo
You can add Ghost for Polta.

Went to a weird walmart I never liked because it's ultra modern and feels like a prison block, but the one by our home has shitty stock of everything. Decided to brush past the toy isle and they were LOADED with beyblades that none of my others have.

I picked up a fucking Wave Whale, instant get since I didn't actually have one. Bellow are some of the others I say, and I'm not sure if they're actually rare but its the first time I've ever wittnessed them in the wild:

Drake and Wizard CX plenty of
Golem Rock x2
Yell Kong x2
Silver Wolf x2
Obsidian Shell x2
Green and yellow Rod Wizards maybe three of each
Shelter Drake RED x2
Phoenix Soar Blue with that Hexa bit
2pack that comes with the Crest Lion
One Shinobi Shadow in the chase colors, but kids stole the ratchet and bit out of there (could maybe talk them down to half off)
The blue stadium set

Is any of this shit rare? Positively none of it was on sale, sadly. I might go back for a silver wolf. I'm seriously stunned they had a lot of ones I had never seen before. The Whale was mine because I've always wanted an elevate bit and never wanted to pay crazy high prices for it. When I looked it up online Obsidian Shell was going for like 22 dollars, which is wild since this was only 9 at this location.

>>11613567
Yeah, a couple of them. The green Wizard Rods are a little easier to find, but still rare; they usually get bought up quick because it's 3 S-tier parts in one package. Blue Phoenix Wing has been hard to find since that initial first batch of them came out earlier this year, and even moreso now that Hexa is in such high demand. I'd definitely go back to get those if you have the chance.

>>11613567
I don't think there's anything actually "rare", in the traditional sense, but there's a lot of sought after beys here.

>Drake and Wizard CX
>Drake
???

>>11613790
I assume he means dran brave
>>11613567
I wouldn't really consider any hasbro releases "rare," once their perpetual stocking issues sort themselves out with a wave it's usually pretty easy to find anything in it. I guess whale wave and the green rod might be exceptions but that could just be due to everyone hard hoarding (or worse scalping) those two in particular.

>>11612943
I guess I can't help myself but to pick bad/inferior Beys for my favourites. HellsHammer, PegasusBlast and PerseusDark are my top three stock build when it comes to colours and design. I fell in love with WizardRod 5-70DB back then and it was my first Bey ever but it was simply too good at one point. I guess it's not so oppressive anymore.

>>11613790
>>11613795
also might have separately been talking about impact drake and arc wizard, not sure why he'd put them in one line like that though

what's up with valkyrie volt? tried looking up listings on ebay and it's going for about $100 less than aero pegasus

>>11614216
I'm not familiar with what it normally goes for and if that's significantly out of the ordinary, but if it is there's a good chance demand is way down because we're about to get a regular release metal lock chip with emperor waffle

>>11614216
Valkyrie Volt isn't very good, people really only wanted it for the metal Lock Chip. Now that Emperor Might is out and you can get one without having to pay $400, Valkyrie's value is going down. Aero Pegasus, however, is still one of the best Beys in the game, so its price will always be high until the red one gets released. Aero Pegasus may even get more expensive in the meantime because it's leaving the gacha soon.

boys, is it finally CX's time to shine? Between sol eclipse actually having some pretty cool combinations and emperor might making MLC accessible to the masses plus adding a handful of what look like really viable parts, could we finally be moving away from the "make it as short as you fucking can and run rod" meta?

>>11614640
It feels like we're in the middle point of the CX era now, where the last few CX's they've released have been the best ones in the line so far. Everyone's hyped up Emperor Might's ridiculous weight, but even Wolf Hunt is 38.5 - 39g, so maybe we're getting there. Weight creep is slowly setting in.
I hope this is the point where we'll start getting more that are intentionally designed to be strong. They can't keep releasing CX's that just end up being "Wheel 9-60 Low Rush/Hexa" holders, they need to make something that's as good as the UX top tiers.

>>11614676
I forgot to even mention Wolf Hunt, I'm actually really excited for that one, because Free feels like a really fun idea for an assist blade

How about Hell's Reaper T-op ? Is this bey good enough for competition ?

>>11614966
Not really. Hells Reaper kind of sucks, there are better assist blades than Turn, and Operate will probably see as little play as Turbo does.

>>11614998
I don't think Operate is likely to be quite that useless, since it shouldn't have the problem Turbo does where it's actively fucking useless since its entire mechanic means it runs in stamina mode until it loses enough stamina to drop into attack mode, completely fails to do anything because it doesn't have any power left to attack with, and then promptly dies. Whether it's actually worth running remains to be seen, but it absolutely can't be as bad as turbo just by merit of having an actual mode switch you can control.

>>11615074
Turbo's real flaw is that it needs to be in a good position when it drops to attack mode or else it will lose control and do nothing, but that's not something you can control 15 seconds into a match. If Turbo is using a heavy blade and placed into an area that let's it ride into the xtreme line, it can win but those are conditions you can't influence, especially in an aggressive meta with heavy stamina types. Even if you wait in the center with a Hexa Rod, you'll have to dodge it on your way into the rail and then hope for a hit to win.

>>11615191
Even if by some miracle it ends up in a good position when it drops to attack mode, it doesn't matter when the condition for dropping is that it's slowed down so much that the hit is more likely to self-KO than actually do anything to the opponent. Sure, there's a very very slight chance that if you're running something heavy and it drops to attack and immediately hits a perfect X-Dash it might manage to pocket your opponent, but if they're running anything with a decent amount of stamina/weight themselves (which is highly likely if it's something you manage to hit since it would have to be sitting right in the middle waiting to outspin you) then it's way more likely to just shrug off your anemic hit and watch you fall over.

It's just so completely backwards from the way that would make sense to work, if its mechanic was being in attack mode when it's spinning fast and then switching to stamina mode once it starts to slow down then it would have a purpose, since there'd be a chance to build for high attack but the fallback of a stamina mode if you lose too much spin on failed attacks early.

>>11614101
I compromise by using the meta as wheelchair for my ace beyblade.

>Pan will be relevant in S3
Holy Based.

>>11615432
Fucking finally. Give me UX Rhino already.

>>11615208
I know.
On something like Whale or Roar it can land some strong hits and even get a xtreme finish but it's not consistent enough to warrant adding it to your deck.
