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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

>>11616587
very true and actually i was wrong, the one i already had was dagger dran.

So Clock Mirage is hard setup to be "Absolute Stamina" but not much else. No real attack power or defense. So that's got me wondering if there's an "Absolute Attack" and "Absolute Defense" blade that seems to be devoted only to that one stat at the cost of the others. I'll assume Dran Buster on 1-60 and maybe Gear Rush is the "Absolute Attack" combo.

It's like watching Pokemon's VGC where 90% of the team compositions are the exact same with a couple of outliers. But then I'm on a stance that anything that's meant to be recreational first, competitive second should never bother with the latter in the first place.
>but X's gimmick is gear sports
And that's fine, but it doesn't change that it was going to fall into the same traps as its previous iterations of making a handful of good beys while everything else is tossed or only bought for secondary parts. But TT don't care since they're making money off it either way.

>>11617033
That's actually a good point. Probably going to put it on 1-60 Gear Rush to make it as aggressive as possible. It's kind of annoying that all the good defense combos are just stamina blades, and all the defense blades are used as attackers.

>>11617999

>>11618094
Well I'm not a yuro so I can't really speak to what you might have available. Try looking up what local businesses carry stock in your area? Here it's mainly big box stores like Walmart and Target, and some smaller places like Gamestop that have things consistently. Amazon is also an option, nice thing is for the most part they usually have most of the Hasbro line in stock at any given time. For anything without a Hasbro release, you're looking at working with importers, and I have no idea what that might look like for your country. Here in the US the most common ones I see people using are Beysandbricks and Malloftoys, but I have no idea if they do any importing to places other than the US.

>>11618099
yeah I was gonna mention beysandbricks but if it's EU I have no idea where someone would go for imports. But then I guess you don't have to deal with the same tarrif shitshow the US has going on right now so you can probably just get them directly off Amazon JP.

>>11618668
NTA but Rod 1-60 Under Needle would be an effective counter to Shark Scale.
God, I HATE Rod.

>>11618729
>God, I HATE Rod.
It's not fair that Scale and Hover hard counter Silver Wolf and forced it out of the meta, but fucking Wizard Rod remains.

>>11618731
An aspect of Rod that I don't see discussed is the difference between a fresh Rod and a worn Rod. Naturally, a fresh Rod is good for attack, because of course that fucking thing is also good for attack, and counterattack but a worn Rod is better at defense since there's nothing to grab to on impact.
I genuinely believe it's an issue for the game and that it should be banned.

>>11618731
On the bright side, I can claim Silver Wolf as a hipster pick.

>>11618731
>>11618823
I still run wolf sometimes for fun but yeah it unfortunately just gets shut down constantly. At least with Wolf Hunt it's looking like it could be back in some form soon even if it's just people slapping Free on blast.

>>11618823
>>11618895
I've been running silver wolf on 7-60 hexa, and I find that as long as you launch it out of the way of the first couple extreme dashes it has a solid winrate against all the meta picks I've tested.
And maybe I just got lucky with my tolerances but it's never burst once.

>>11618925
I tend to run 7-60FB and I don't have much burst issues (at least on the yellow 7-60 from fort hornet, my black one is getting pretty loose) but the issue I tend to see is just losing steam too fast or wobbling too much, so maybe trying hexa would make a difference there. I do wonder how it would do on a 0 ratchet but I don't have any to try until I get my Wolf Hunt.

Anyone have their emperor deck set and/or wolf hunt yet? I've seen some people who preordered from amazon jp getting them in already, and I want someone to try out Emperor Waffle F0-80H and tell me if there's anything there.

>>11618668
shit forgot to say, our locals run 1 bey vs1 bey for qualifiers and wizard rod is banned.

>>11618971
Weird setup, but I mean it's not like scale is unbeatable, just hit it with something really heavy that can tank it like phoenix on a low setup, 9-60UN or like K or something. Hell once Emperor Might is common it'll probably make Scale look like a retarded toddler trying to hit it.

>>11618650
I have a pretty good win rate against shark scale with my Venom 3-60L combo

Goon is of course always an option too.

>all these complaints about Shark Scale
>I'm loving it because it's shark themed
I'm a sucker for aquatic beyblades, so the fact one of them is considered top tier is great in my opinion. But as I've said already, I'd gladly run a full shark deck if we ever got a 3rd. Hell I'd run them all stock as well since even Shark Edge can potentially fuck up Wizard Rod when I ran tests against meta setups with my friends.

>>11618978
There already is a third shark, gill shark from a hasbro release that's also coming in the emperor deck set. Someone in my local scene regularly runs a full shark deck.

>>11618980
I am not using discount Shelter Drake just because Hasbro wants to be jews. Call me back when we get a CX shark.

>>11618982
So just throw Bite Croc in there to kind of fit the theme and be a copy of Shark Edge I guess, or use Optimus Primal with a custom sticker.

>>11618976
Yeah not a big fan of that system but our venue exploded in participants. We tend to get 60+ players and have to speed up the games.

I actually have the valk chip and it ruins the stamina. Scale can outspin it.
>>11618977
I tried goon 6-70 level and scale clobbers it on a regular basis.

>>11619079
Tried elevate on goon? Really you just need to outspin it, scale isn't that hard to beat it just comes down to having something that's not gonna get pocketed immediately and good launch tech. Grock can do it, rod can do it, silver wolf can do it, phoenix can do it. Just avoid getting hit by an early dash from the shark and it'll tire itself out pretty quickly.

Taking out red tyranno roar is such a weird move, especially because they released ghost in those colors already and you don't even get the zero ratchet. What happened here, Hasbro?

>>11619569
Shit I said it in my head correctly and still typed roar. Tyranno beat, red metalized king

>>11619569
They cut Tyranno Beat 1-60 Rush specifically from the set. Since that's the primary meta combo for it, I can only imagine that they plan to sell it as some other product.

Man, the Hasbro starter prices increasing from $10 to $15 feels like shit when you realize you're now just paying the extra $5 for the proto launcher. A $5 increase because it comes with something worthless absolutely sucks.

>>11620198
did they increase the prices for all starters? last I checked the only price increase was on the CX line (which is the same in JP, though I forget what the exact price bump was)

>>11620240
Boosters have gone from $8 to $10, starters from $10 to $15.

Just found my old collection of plastic gen. Can y'all niggas explain to me why Beys look so fucking ugly nowadays? Shit looks like the horrible bootleg stuff we'd ban in the early 00's

>>11620746
I don't think the new stuff is ugly, but I do think the old stuff had way more personality. There are some notable exceptions from X that look cool and unique, mostly among the CX line and like the metal coat blades, but really it's mostly just a consequence of the fact that all the beys have mainly metal main blades and contact points, it's great for how fun they are to battle but not so great for making them look unique.

It's part of the reason I'm really glad to see some indication that TT actually cares about trying to make CX more viable, you just get way more options for making cool and unique builds with that line compared to BX and UX beys.

>>11618650
>>11618971
Phoenix Wing with LR

>>11620746
I don't think they're ugly but they do seem more simplistic, one problem is the lack of stickers to make things pop more. The other would be the metal molding, for every cool thing like Cobalt Drake having the details of a dragon head, you get stuff like Knight Mail which is just a non-distinct shape with markings. It feels weird that the stuff that comes to Hasbro first tend to have those details on the metal more often.

>>11621068
>It feels weird that the stuff that comes to Hasbro first tend to have those details on the metal more often.
It's not that weird when you consider Hasbro doesn't have any interest in the actual competitive aspect of BBX, and just wants to sell them as toys. Bringing the stuff with more distinct molds makes it easier to try to sell them as cool unique items instead of trying to sell them based on how they actually perform in a match. Same reason we get so many collab sets with lazy remolds of existing beys, they can sell it based on the character sticker like it's a fortnite skin.

>>11620746
I'm the opposite, for me X beys look the cleanest. It's metal like metal fight, but it's also less flat and thin. Plus they just move better, especially something like hover wyvern.

>>11620746
Because during plastic gen Beyblades were allowed to have personalities. Now everything is just generic metal since the current format is about trying (and failing) to keep the playing field as even as possible. Hell it even allows for reskins for shit sake, and the anime goes along with it as well. While X is indeed fun to play, the tops themselves are just bland compared to plastic gen and Burst.
>what about Metal Fight
I skipped metal fight for the same damn reason I give X flak now; they look bland and uninteresting compared to what came before and after them.

I wouldn't include Burst in there personally. It just looks too much like abstract art. You look at stuff like this and all you can ask yourself is what the hell is this even supposed to represent? I don't disagree on the point that metal can be boring, but I prefer the good metal stuff to anything in Burst. Say what you will about Zero G, but the beys themselves look pretty nice.

I prefer plastic gen and burst, personally. They both had some of the weirdest gimmicks to their blades and that's the part that gets me interested. Meta's cool, but Lucifer the End transforms when it's health is low and that's WAY cooler.

>>11621929
maybe they'll slip up and accidentally create a good one

>>11622056
Nothing wrong with being abstract, especially when Burst was even more gimmick heavy than plastic gen was.
>You look at stuff like this and all you can ask yourself is what the hell is this even supposed to represent?
A defense type? Like I get what you're saying because a lot of people here take issue with how busy Burst's designs were, but in my case it represents why I got into Beyblade back in 2002. Each part had a meaning and a purpose to its design to make the bey feel like its own character, which is literally the case in both plastic and Burst. And this is extra bias from me, but I feel Burst definitely deserves to be propped up for breaking down the wall saying only one left spin should exist per generation and it must be an attack type. That shit annoyed me before plastic gen even ended, and Metal exacerbating it thanks to the anime considering it 'evil' and 'spinning left being forbidden' was such a retarded excuse that I bailed early. So thank you Fafnir, Bahamut, Salamander, and Helios for existing, especially Bahamut's line.
>but it messes the meta
That's your problem for giving shit about competing with a bunch of tops. I just want to have fun and admire how awesome my Dread Bahamut and Hollow Deathscyther look.

>>11622137
I'm not going to shit on the meta aspect of Burst when I don't understand it well enough, I just don't like how they look. Plastic gen is my favorite but part of that is because there's a sleekness to go along with that personality. They give off the feeling of a souped up sports car in top form.

The hexagon is behind the dragon, so only parts of the edges can be seen. It is kinda subtle. A more obvious example is you can see the edge of the green hexagon on Clock Mirage. You can also find the hexagon on Pegasus, Perseus and Sol

Whatever, I'll take it I guess. Wish they'd grow some balls and give other left spins of the other types without having to rely on homages.

Left-spins are always some kind of dragon, and we've only got two in X currently. Also Krhome getting an evolution to dragoon felt long overdue. I'm excited, though. I know it's cheesy, but I love the zombie beys and burst spoiled me with the entire fafnir line.

Why are they putting two wedges if its not a newly introduced bit? They should've put under needle on Pegasus Brush instead or another bit that needs a reprint. Takara Tomy does things in the weirdest, most backwards ways.

>>11626082
It's so that you can build the prize bey using commons.

Clock mirage is coming in the mail. I just need a UX bey that has strong defense but dogshit attack power. This is for a gimmick deck. I was told Golem Rock, but I don't own it so I don't know how good it is with defense. I was also told to try silver wolf, but it's a stamina type, though, isn't it?

File: Fang.png (800 KB, 704x676)

Fang blade is around 30 grams. Given how top-heavy CX blades are, do you think the lighter weight will allow heavier assist blades to help its weight distribution?

>>11626277
>dogshit attack power
>I was told Golem Rock
Golem Rock is better at attacking than it is anything else.
>I was also told to try silver wolf, but it's a stamina type, though, isn't it?
Silver Wolf may say Stamina on the box, but it's a Defense type in function.

>>11626625
How is it at attacking? I'm looking for a bey that can take hits, but is blade that can take hits but can't hit back for shit.

>>11626721
Silver Wolf? It has zero attack power if you try to use it like an Attack type, but it has really strong counter hit potential otherwise. It's good at deflecting attackers and can even get KO's if the knockback sends them toward the pockets.
>is blade that can take hits but can't hit back for shit.
Pegasus Blast Wheel is the only thing I can think of that just sits there and tanks, because even Wizard Rod can get random KO's by doing nothing.

>>11626721
The problem is good defense beys are heavy and heavy things can always launch their opponent into orbit with a good hit.

>>11626839
>>11626839
Shit. I guess Silver Wolf is the blade in question. I can't think of any other UX blades that are less agressively shaped than it, too. Also I don't have blast or wheel because I refuse to pay 40+ for the cerberus blade and am waiting for the hasbro release.

I would say these are as close as you can get to the Bey's most optimal state while remaining in their stock combos. They're all capable of getting wins without being customized.

Alright I have zero knowledge about beyblade only that when I was a child in the year 2005 I bought an action figure of one of the main characters at Toys R Us. Never actually let it rip, the closest experience I have is LEGO ninjago spinjitzu. I enjoy competitive games; fighting games, board games, gambling, strategy games etc, and I see that this is coming back in a way. How do you actually play? What is the strategy of any? Is this something me and my homies can get into to make drunken game night just a little more fun? I'm tempted. How much is a good one of these fuckers? I have many questions.

>>11628134
>How do you actually play?
Count down like the anime and launch at the same time,
Spin out is 1 point
Burst or regular (side) pocket is 2 points
Extreme (center) pocket is 3 points
First to 4 points wins the round
Can be played either single bey or 3 bey deck format.
>What is the strategy of any?
There's a lot, launch techniques and part synergy, it's dependant on what you want out of a particular bey.
There are 4 types of bey, attack, defense, stamina, and balance, the names should be fairly self explanatory, granted what it says a part is on the box isn't always the best use case in practice.
X has fairly straightforward design, the blade shape determines impact aggression, ( ie an attack type will generally hit harder than a defense.)
the ratchet determines height and burst resistance, (named for burst impact points and height in mm, ie 3-60 has 3 impact points and sets bey height to 60mm.)
the bit determines height and burst resistance as well as movement style and stamina consumption. (Naming is, variable, if any, and type, ei LF(low flat) is a flat bit(attack type) lowered 10mm compared to the standard bit height.)
Probably better to watch videos on part specifics or for learning launch tech.
>Is this something me and my homies can get into to make drunken game night just a little more fun?
Absolutely, as long as none of you are meta fags and are willing to try making your own combos you'll have a great time. This generation has incredible spectacle to it, matches are very fun to watch between extreme dashes and bursts.
>How much is a good one of these fuckers?
Buy the Takara stadium and a couple winder launchers off Amazon, I think that will run about $70~.
Beys themselves vary in price, but are about $10 each, starters are marked up a few dollars because they include a shitty launcher.
The biggest upfront cost is a stadium, but the Takara bx-01 is worth getting, as are the winder launchers, they're bigger and have ratioed gearing for proper speed.

>>11627927
>Silver Wolf 3-80 Free Ball
>Shark Scale 4-50 Under Flat
>Wizard Rod 1-60 Rush
I happen to have all three. Would these make a decent deck?

>>11628275
yes thats a decent deck but could be optimized
silver wolf on 3/5/7-60/70, free ball is good
shark scale (dont see 4-50 used much) 1/3/9-60 under flat or rush, low rush
wizard rod combo is solid but you can put hexa for current meta defense combo

>>11628275
Shark scale and rod are both best-in-class meta blades, and silverwolf is a solid pick that really only fell out of meta because rod stomps it. Like the other anon said, the stock combos are okay but all of them would benefit from making adjustments.

>>11627912
Adding the blue Phoenix Wing 5-80H as a decent stock combo if you can find it.

>Wizard Rod 1-60 Hexa
Is there anything that beats this build consistently? What do you use to deal with it?

>>11629162
Rod on ball should beat it with Stamina.

Nothing else beats it 'consistently', but I always gamble beating Rods with aggressive builds, and I've found that accepting the coin toss and the result is better for your mental health. The game is part launch technique and the rest is luck, speaking as someone who runs all attack and has gotten 1st place and podiums at several locals using nothing but Attack builds and refusing to use Rod over the past year.

>>11629175
>and I've found that accepting the coin toss and the result is better for your mental health
>The game is part launch technique and the rest is luck
I was on a hot streak for a couple of months earlier this year, some of the best luck of my life, but the past few weeks, I've not even been able to podium. The last couple of tournaments have come down to "Can I break through his Rod or not?" and it's cost me the match when it either walls me or hops out of the pocket to deny the points I needed. It's really disheartening because I keep comparing my current performances to my past successes, and I end up leaving furious with myself for not being able to do what I used to do. I feel like I'm plateauing in skill, or even getting worse, and no amount of effort is paying off.

>>11629162
rod ball, dragoon elevate, shark scale or wyvern hover

>>11629193
if youre on a losing streak and it feels out of your control, you gotta go focus on whats in your control. Deck combos, selection order, where you launch with what technique, etc.

>>11629193
What the other anon said, some things truly aren't in your control with this game, and genuinely you shouldn't feel bad about it. As much as I think it's important to be proud of what you've achieved, it's also important to just take the Ls in stride and keep going especially if you just enjoy playing the game. Ultimately the funny little top game we enjoy has a bigger luck factor than a lot of people care to admit.
