X's sister.
I love Beysandbricks for their customer service, but this is ridiculous. The only reason for this bey's demand was the fact that it was the cheapest way to get Elevate, and they can't make that excuse, anymore, due to Hasbro releasing Whale Wave in a booster.
>>11575091Have this same gripe with Green Ghost CircleIt's not necessarily that it's a meta part, but that it's a meta part *in a different color*It's also why that black Shinobi Shadow is so expensive, since it has a black 9-60
saw some wizard arrows at five below yesterday, presuming they got wave 1 stock in general at this point so if you need spare parts for any of that stuff it's worth checking out>>11575091they're bad about holding the bag in general I think, I know once I saw they still had TT keel sharks for $60 despite the hasbro release being out for months. it'd be one thing if this was a burst situation but literally nobody's paying that kinda markup to... what, not have a qr code on the inside?
>>11574731Cute, I wonder if she's secretly evil. The manga's teaser for this arc had her lookimg ominous and she may be pretending to be the weakest one of the bunch.
>>11575444It would be funny if Ekusu's entire family just cucks Multi and takes away Bird.
>>11574731she has more visible boob than multi, m-multi bros...maybe it's heredetary to the nanairo family to be as flat as a table
I hope we eventually get Under Rush.
Blast with its paint stripped off looks pretty cool. Feels kind of angelic.
>>11574331Anyone else think it was a huge missed opportunity to make Clock Mirage a dual spin bey? I know the beys it homages didn't have that feature, but it would be so fitting for a clock themed bey imo
Which is the best channel for launching techniques?
Don't had wheel yet, is turn good enough replacement for Blast?
>>11577882Use Jaggy or Slash if you have them.
>Whale Blaze Massive>tfw you can't just buy the parts separately to build this specificallyI mean I probably can, but not cheaply. I don't like having spare bits and pieces laying around so I'd rather just buy the specific parts for a bey I want to build. I like this idea of bringing whale to CX.
>>11578989they really need to make a customize set that's just CX blade parts. maybe throw in a few gimmicky ratchets and bits just so you can make whole blades, but the point should be that it focuses on getting new chips or letting you access more assist blades easily
>>11579057It really feels like the obvious choice, considering we already had a Customize set with the Knight Mail set. Anything announced in the pipes that sounds similar? I assume no, but I can be hopeful.
>when you're still have stockholme syndrome about buying your Beyblade from resellers that you neglect the fact you can drive to your nearest fucking Target and buy a new Cobalt Dragoon in 15-20 minutesOld habits die hard as they say.
I have a purple Knight Shield, the one with the weighted notch that aligns with 1- ratchets, that puts strain on my launchers, be it winder or string launchers. I can literally feeling the launcher shaking and straining through the entire ripping process, like it's seriously unbalanced or heavy but that's not the case, it's a normal Knight Shield.I can launch fatasses like Rod and Spear no problem, and even tested launching the blade alone, and it's only this thing that gives me that problem.What is happening?
Is this still worth getting if I already have a Takara stadium?
>>11581588Both are fine beys but massively outclassed and the stadium is not useful for practice because everyone uses the Takara one with the Takara dimensions. There are better ways to get Rush.
How does assult turbo work for Pegasus blast?I thought it was supposed to start as a needle like bit and retract once it spins for a bit, but when I launch it acts like a flat bit on crack from the get go.
>>11581775That just means you have to spin harder. The needle bit comes out when it's spun hard enough, and retracts when it slows down
>>11579057And blank lock chips in assorted colors.
>start coming up with a momotaro/donbrothers deck>samurai saber does a little of everything, can't decide which combo but there are many options>silver wolf on 3-60 hexa is a tank>crimson garuda is good on tall setups>try everything for yell kong>meta bits like level, hexa, ball, free ball, elevate, rogue bits like bound spike, spike, point, etc>same for ratchets>mfw it's just shit>>11582169I'd put a custom Kong sticker on a lock chip but I kind of feel like that would be cheating.
>Beyblade X is more YGO-like than Yugioh of the last 6-7 years.Thanks based X.
Oh baby
>>11582734I guess they couldn't reuse the green variant of ghost circle cause it'd be too similar to knight mail? but at that point why replace the red coated tyranno in the first placeI can't say they're an objective failure like in burst era but hasbro releases are so weird man
>>11582734i can't understand why twitter is bitching about this, regardless of ghost and the 5 ratchets a fucking customize set from hasbro is insane
>>11582734So are they saving Tyranno Beat 1-60 Rush for an individual release or something then? That specific combo being excluded seems like they want to put it into another product.
>>11576591Multi being perflat is extremely based and one of the many reasons why she is Best Girl.
>>11582930I have an unreasonable attraction for perflat women.I blame lolicon and that chapter of The Office when Dwight claimed women don't need that much breasts to breastfeed. One's the trigger, the other the excuse to keep it alive. I never checked if that was actually true.
>>11582734You know what? Getting the set for (hopefully) a cheaper price I'll gladly accept GC. That's not a 9-65, right? It looks a little odd for a normal 9-60 ratchet.>>11582930Ichigo is the best girl, but your appreciation for justice is noticed.
>>11583537if i'm to believe the walmart listing (only one I see at the moment) it's $30 and yeah it's a 9-65, wild how it's not even out in japan yet.honestly the issue with GC is less "muh meta viable parts" (I mean this is the same set with MN after all) and more that they literally just released that in the last wave, in a 2pack with another reused blade at that
>>11583571Fair, GC is a pretty recent release. And considering it seems to be replacing the Red TyranoBeat, it does feel like the cost cut comes at a...cost. I'll still accept it, though. I don't have KM or RA so at least for me this is a net positive.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OK5xcjuWcdM
>>11583669it really feels like they put the ratchet/bit for the red one on the green one and then gave the red one purely random colors
>>11583669>Rod on ball>Dragoon on elevateMaybe limiting the ratchet choice was a smart move if it can do well against those.
>>11583669>>11583708It's nice to see that they put it up against real meta builds instead of stock combos for once
>>11582734aw fuck, I just want that ghost. What's the teal bit called?
>>11580432I have purple knight and love it, I haven't noticed this but I'll do some testing and see if I observe this. I don't have many 1 ratchets.
>>11583832on the left? Bound Spike
>>11583836Oh that's the one that comes default with the original knight mail set? I think I do have that one.Removing red tyranno from this set is weird.
It finally arrived. My only complaint is that the clear gear chip makes it difficult to see the sticker. White or even semi-transparent white might have worked better.
>>11575474See, the teal really makes this one stand out. Is this a custom made Beyblade or an official Crimson Drake?
>>11583968>or an official Crimson Drake?It's official. It comes with the Infinity Stadium that releases next weekend.
>>11583994That is very tempting. Beautiful Bey.
>>11583994>we want the street thug weedwacker ripping audience Interesting play, Hasbro.
>>11584051*Takara Tomy
>>11577458Cock Mirage being a dual spin bey would immediately put it in the banlist. one thing BBX has done great so far is that no LAD meta is viable to this day
>>11584258They've been pretty good about it. Cobalt Dragoon is still relevant, but it's not as good as it was a few months ago because of all the things that can deal with it now. Rod 1-60H can outspin it, Shark Scale can outspin, KO, and Burst it, and Wyvern Hover shits on it to the point of bullying. Even Blast combos can contend with it.
>>11583832There's a 2-pack with Hells Chain that comes with Ghost Circle.
>>11583669So no matter which color of Clock Mirage you get you're obtaining the full stock combo? That's a first... and an interesting decision. Also who was Mr. I can speak decent english?
>>11582734Honestly the only reasonable complaint I've seen is them dropping rush instead of MN, coated roar is a loss I guess but not that big of one, I don't give a shit about gold 1-60.Takara probably strong-armed hasbro into releasing this after the summer tournament when they realized hasbro was lying to them about western interest.
>>11584596QRD on hasbro lying to TT? Havent been paying much attention to what’s happening officially with Hasbro for a while since local tournaments are all sponsored by game stores and all.
>>11584778IIRC there was a tourney hosted by hasbro at some big convention this summer that had a few Takara reps come to check it out, and they said that hasbro massively underplayed how popular X was in the west, especially with teens and young adults, and how hasbro didn't expect more than like 30 people to enter said tournament but over a hundred showed up. Something like that.
>>11584778This is a summary of the big one from back in the summer from multiple sources.Basically, TT isn't happy with the way Hasbro is handling it. They would prefer that western regions have the same type of tournaments that Japan/Asia does.It seems like Hasbro was trying to sabotage Beyblade over here by purposely putting in zero effort because they don't want to host tournaments at all, they just want you to buy toys. The little Gamestop tournaments have happened like 3 times in the last year, and every 'major' tournament Hasbro has tried to do has been a disaster with inconsistent rules/standards from venue to venue. They just don't care and TT wants them to.
>>11584792>>11584790God fuck hasbro so much
>>11584410Are you for real? Why do none of my targets get the good fucking sets. I won't even venture into walmart, they're horribly stocked of everything.
>>11584829Grabbed that set at a walmart this week actually, its all luck baby.
>>11584792>even worse than I rememberedJesus christ, fuck hasbro so hard.100% Takara had to beat hasbro over the head to get that customize set to shelves when they won't even sell grips to us.
So the tops dont come with the ripper anymore? Wtf? No wonder this shit is dying.
>>11584795>>11584934i'm so fucking tired of being a fan of things hasbro is involved with. at least this time the crossover fortnite sloppa is a bunch of shitty retools and not game-warping meta pieces that make up over half the output on any given week
>>11584948It's been a while since I played M:tG but I hear it's bad over there. At least we aren't dealing with the burst-era trash anymore.
>>11584951I'd already lost faith that things would ever get better a while ago, but pic related was my final straw. I tune in from time to time just to see how bad it really can get and apparently they're making cards based on furbies and dwight schrute now. All I can do is laugh, really.>>11584936there's sets with and without a launcher, multi-packs pretty much never include them unless they're a bundle with a stadium. the bigger issue is that the launcher hasbro beys come with is small and shit, while the TT one is just fine. At least you can buy the TT one standalone, I guess.
>>11584955Magic seems like it's just Fortnite now. All they do is crossover collabs that appeal to the average reddit normie. I'm surprised they haven't done a Ghostbusters or Back to the Future crossover yet, it's just free money from their target audience.
>>11585126>Magic seems like it's just Fortnite now.It's worse when you actually sit down to play standard. Not just in flavor but in function as well. It's a joke how they add value to cards now a days, usually involving lifegain or card draw or both.
>>11584955>pic related was my final strawThat's not an official card, right? It's a joke someone on the internet did to show how ridiculous the game has gotten... right?
>>11585698it's only $20
>>11585698I'm sorry, but the game's dogshit. Just absolute dogshit. They even messed up the phyrexians.>>11585710beat me to it.
>>11585710>>11585711Honestly I haven't followed Magic since college so I can't even say this upsets me or anything. It'd be one thing if this were merely a one off joke, but something tells me there's more like it and I choose to remain blissfully ignorant.
>>11584410>>11584829>>11584875I am a lucky boy.
How smooth are the Hasbro winder launchers that are now in stores?
>>11586832about the same as the TT ones. the older TT ones, anyway. I hear people say that the most recent TT winders that come with stuff like scorpio spear etc. are like butter
Is Perseus Dark worth getting? I love everything about it looks-wise, but I know it's pretty shit stock. Any way to make it an actually decent bey?
>>11587463Apparently, only Wedge is good. Everything else about it kinda sucks.
>>11584792as someone who was there and competed, something else i dont see people talk about but think is worth sharing along with this stuff is the fact that the non-WBO judges had basically no briefing on the rules of the game and so there were multiple cases of people getting fucked over by their judges making bizzare decisions. it was a real kick in the balls for some people who waited in line overnight just to be disqualified because they "launched weird"
Has anyone here tried modding an X launcher to be able to launch metal fight beys?
>>11587463Apparently it's good on Charge 5-60 Zap.I'd test it but I don't have Charge. Money was a little tight just as CX came out so I didn't buy the entire set as I try to do every time.
>>11584536for the True Beyautists™ there are still small nuances at which colorway performs the best since there will be minute discrepancies among different plastic colors and their manufacturing processes (black is the heaviest plastic, gold plastic breaks the fastest, etc)
>>11587842i've even seen bladers who buy multiples of the same bey and pick out the "most perfect" out of the lot and sell the inferior ones at the marketplace for profit. apparently because not all beys are made equal and you have to pick the best of the best to get that advantage.
Next month's release is Team Persona's (shared) Bey
>>11588180huge, the most kino releases are literally always the ones where they incentivize you to customize shit
Meh
>>11588620Oh boy, another Wheel 9-60 user.
>>11588620That blade looks like a waffle.

>>115874846-80 is great for Golem on Wedge
>>11588620I kinda like the silly waffle cone vibe, emerald rock is gorgeous, and always a fan of blue/white color schemes
We are so back
>>11589651>CX Silver WolfIt has the Wing Cross shape, just in reverse. I really hope it's good, I love the color scheme.
>>11589651fire except for disk ball...just why
>>11589988Especially since we just got another Disk Ball with Fox Brush. It would've been a good chance to bring something like Metal Ball to X.
>>11590193I feel like MN poisoned the well in X even if there'd obviously not be the same issue with a ball bit
>>11588850Stock Golem but 6-60 is like a bunker. Unmovable.>>11589651>>11589892This might get a ban lmao
>>11590495Why would it get banned?
>>11590463I'm not sure what Metal Ball would even do.Needle can resist being pushed out of the stadium quite well, my current theory is that they absorb impacts by losing stability, so Metal Needle was an improvement since it does that but without losing as much stamina. I imagine Metal Ball would kind of be like Weight from Burst but it never seemed to do amazing to me.It's funny because stock Shinobi Shadow is pretty decent because of Metal Needle.
>>11590500I'm kind of joking but in their time, Bistool and Deathscyther got banned for having the same shape.The blade design might be more of a Wolborg 1 reference, though.
>>11585975>pearl tigeris that really what they're calling it?
>>11590546English speakers are too stupid to know how Weiss is meant to be pronounced, please understand.
>>11590495>>11590500>>11590505Hells Scythe had the same shape and it didn't get banned. Bistool also didn't get banned, but that's probably because its meta happened around the time MFB was starting.
>>11590559I would've said because America still avoids using German whenever it can, but that works too. I guess straight up naming the Beyblade 'White Tiger' wasn't creative enough like how Black Shell was renamed to Obsidian. Like they wanted to avoid racial profiling in a children's toy.
>>11590502Surely metal ball would have less friction? That would potentially make it the best stamina bit.
Turns out the Beyblade X World Championships are going to be livestreamed tonight at 8:30 PM EST. Not sure if a gamethread is going to work for this like I see on some of the other boards but I think it would be a good idea of putting together a discussion thread for the tournament as a whole since it's scheduled to go on for two days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fbeMy90mow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wfCvJSbpzo
>>11590638They were just unnecessary name changes for whatever reason Hasbro came up with. Like changing Garuda from Crimson to Scarlet, it's pointless. I'm surprised they didn't change Cobalt Dragoon to a different blue word too, it's the odd one out.
>>11590912I'd like to see something like this honestly.
Check your Walmarts. They have the drop stadium on sale for $20 right now. Stock up on Hover and Low Rush while you can.
>>11590700Yeah, but then it gets punted out of the stadium at the slightest touch. There's a good reason why ball type bits are stamina and needle type bits are defense in X and then why, before Under Needle, Hexa and Dot were the best defense bits. You need some traction or a way to force the bey to claw into the stadium to survive in X.

Clock Mirage is interesting.... Twisted Tempo was my favorite as a kid. Hopefully it proves to be as good.
>>11594787It will likely require Hexa or very passive copies of point to do well. In test battles, the ratchet comes undone by getting grazed.

>>11594948>beyblade's funniest clown
Looks great, apparently corocoro mail order only
>>11595162>mail order onlyGoddamit, why
>>11595232Is Operate's mode switch something you manually change and select before battle, or does it change mid battle after the outer ring gets hit by the other Beyblade?
>>11595331It says you can manually change it, but maybe both depending on how the switch functions.
>>11595234I'm sorry, METAL ratchet? Are you serious? At 85 that means you're fucking TALL but I mean, does the metal account for actually helping it prevent breaking or is it just weight used to throw the blade around?
>>11595476You're late. M-85 came out months ago on Tricera Press. It's a simple-type ratchet, meaning it has a connector that differs from every other ratchet. They're more prone to bursting than your standard ratchet. The added weight on M-85 isn't worth the extra height and burst risk, especially now that every deck has Shark Scale, Wyvern Hover, or both.
Anyone have ideas on how to make Viper Tail a better bey for comp? I really love the look of it, but I know it got outclassed pretty early on.
>>11595234Thanks doc

>>11595924They chose a pretty cool location to show off the new Beys.
>>11595929IT DOESN'T MAKE A BIT OF DIFFERENCE, GUISE. THE BLADES ARE INERT.
Is 9-60 a litmus test for who knows what ratchets do and who doesn't?
Fuck this hobby. I was casually interested in it last year, but after a trip with some friends this summer where one brought some proper TT stadiums and like 100 beys to mix and match, I'm hooked. I've bought a ton more Hasbro beys, and a TT stadium. I've been trying to stop spending money on it, but just learned the hold launchers have longer rip cords, so went and ordered a Samurai Saber. It's a money pit, but I am having a lot of fun. I'm even going to some locals for the first time this Satuday.
>>11597035Wait until you start buying spares of your top-tier stuff just in case something breaks or wears out, and start buying otherwise useless Beys just because you don't have one of its part in that particular color. The slope is slippery, but it's so fun down at the bottom.
>>11597035As someone who runs his own Beyblade local and buys ALL the beyblades and launchers himself for everybody to freely use, yeah.. welcome to the money pit. Enjoy yourself. I actually bought a Samurai Saber from my local target the other day along with a new Shark Edge because my current one was worn to hell. Even ordered a left spin rip cord launcher and grip despite there being only ONE left spinning Beyblade in X.Seriously, TT give us some more. I'm tired of all these righties.
>>11597272Sol Eclipse should've been left spin on the blue side to play into the duality theme.
>>11597298>make a sun themed beyblade>color it specifically red and blue on either side>it can't spin left only left no matter which side you useSol Eclipse screams Hyperion and Helios so hard it's not even funny, so the fact the blue side can't spin left was a massive missed opportunity.In truth I wouldn't mind seeing a homage to all the Burst protags like an Achilles, Dragon, hell I'd even take Belial. Sadly it'd be hard for Dragon to stand out when there's character who use a dragonkin bey.
>>11597544Drake has already referenced Dragoon and LDrago. It wouldn't surprise me if a CX Drake references Dragon.
Looking forward to trying Emperor Might Heavy 7-60 Low Rush. Surely all that weight is good for something besides being a big tank.
Curious about how Might would be in a defense combo.
>>11578989Tried this combo myself, since I'm using Dual for an experimental build, but rattles like crazy no matter what side of the main blade it's attached to. I've tested all of my lock chips, and it just... wants to be a maraca, apparently. It doesn't even do it with other main blades!Do i just have a bad Eclipse and/or Massive, or have you run into the same problem?
>>11600854Oh yeah, almost immediately after making that post, my hours got shot in the knees. I haven't been able to buy the parts and honestly i'm still embittered that there isn't a place to just buy individual parts at a reasonable price.
2/3 through season 1 of the X anime (dubbed), and it’s honestly amazing just how much of it blends together to be forgettable. I’d say my biggest issue is how superficial Persona feels. Their chemistry feels forced between X “I can wipe everyone”, Multi “I excel at everything and can create brand new Beyblade lines in my sleep”, and Bird “I lose or tie to everyone I battle.” The journey and rise is too rapid, like we couldn’t get more teams from these 100 fucking floors of the X? How about a team that walls our heroes so we get actual conflict? The only character with any real issues is Bird and he’s told to forget that he sucks because his teammates can clean up after. That’s not how growth works and that’s not how a team is supposed to function.Granted these are complaints I had from 2 years ago because I’ve been reading the manga monthly. Persona’s members are all the ‘I’ in ‘team’. It could’ve been one thing if they were already part of the X but on different floors and decided to team up after their own groups disbanded or something. That could’ve been fun. Instead it’s Mr Beats Everyone and Miss No Actual Flaws team up with a jobber.
>>11601293It's kind of crazy to me that they fumbled the anime and manga in a gen with stellar gameplay, but it doesn't seem to matter. Plenty of people don't watch the anime but buy every release every month.
>>11601643Hell TT themselves don't even advertise the anime as much anymore when they unveil new Beys. Know how they used to do a 10 second commercial at the very end of the video during Burst and early X? Not there anymore so even they know it's not worth it.It's amazing really. The one generation of Beyblade anime where being on a team is required to even be allowed to be considered a professional, and almost none of it is about actual teamwork or the trials that come from conflicting personalities. How do you fuck that up after doing it for three other anime iterations and with that being a talking point in each of them multiple times?
>>11601679I think it's because they put two mascots in Team Persona and slotted an underdog protagonist, likely their first, in the middle to get overshadowed.People expect Bird to start winning but what's the problem with him losing, really? Ekusu can just deal with the rest. And if Ekusu has already had his turn, Multi can pull something up against the second fiddle, or worse, Tenka can deal with it.In Bakuten, sorry but I skipped both MFB and Burst, all of the protagonists could pull their own weight in battle and when they couldn't it was because their opponent was unexpectedly powerful, like with every Ray battle for some reason.You could argue that Max was the Bladebreakers' Bird but he could get results and oftentimes the story needed him to lose, like with Zeo or Mystel. What was the last time Ekusu and Tenka couldn't deal with the problem at hand?
>>11601818The problem isn't Bird losing, it never was. I mentioned this in another thread when I first started watching the X anime, but Bird's biggest flaw is that he NEVER thinks for himself. A good chunk of the season 1 anime and even leading into story are 3 of the manga right now is him doing exactly as he's told and at all times... and he still loses! That's different from Max and Ray who were used as stop gaps to show just how strong certain bladers were. They were both still very skilled and pushed their opponents to their limit.Beyblade Burst did the unthinkable for an anime and had the MC lose... multiple times. Even important matches againt the antagonist they lost and even got their Beyblade destroyed in the process. And that goes for EVERY Burst protag. Hell some Burst protags outright mimic other bladers they know, just like Bird does, but here's the key difference. In Burst every protagonist developed their own style overtime and came to understand how and what they need to do in battle, and they reached that point from the losses they garnered. That never happens to Bird. At all. He loses, Multi and X say stop thinking about it, so he does. Bird's a certified dumbass beacuse he never bothers to think, he just blindly listens to what everybody orders him to do and he complies.Bird is pretty much Rantarou Kiyama from Burst, only x10 worse. While the latter had a track record of losing in the anime, he actually had a name for himself on a national level as one of the more skill bladers in Japan beforehand. That implies that while he's strong, the people he's up against are just that much stronger, yet he does his best to keep up. Bird is like throwing a baby into the Mariana Trench and expecting it to swim and that's why there's such a dislike for him. He still carries a rookie's mentality and isn't allow to grow or learn and mostly to blame for that are X, Multi, and Tenka because they cover for all his fuckups.
