Unicorn Sting Introduction Competitive Beyblade is a dynamic world where beybladers have to constantly evolve to gain an edge over their competition. As new and new beyblades are released, new opportunities to outshine the competition emerges. Unicorn Sting has recently emerged as a beyblade shrouded in mystery. It is a beyblade with with a dual sided blade that is designed to serve different purposes. While some might look at it with skepticism and question its viability in the current meta, others might realize the potential with its unique dual sided design which might hold the potential for greatness. However, separating facts from fiction is the purpose of this blog and we (WBO k00mak00ma and WBO Skynet) conducted a series of tests to analyze and dissect Unicorn Sting's performance against current meta favorites to determine if this Unicorn stings or just eats grass on the side. The jagged aggressive side of Unicorn Sting the smooth defensive side of Unicorn Sting Methodology ...

Hello community It has been brought to my attention that it might be a good idea to make a beginner's guide to Beyblade X especially for a lot of new players or returning older players from previous generation. It was a valid point so I decided to make a beginner's guide. This is not a buyers guide because each individual has their own play style AND prices fluctuate since these Beyblades are being bought from Japan. Let's start with the basics: The stadium Unlike stadiums of the past that usually had 3 different zones for KO on 3 different sides, the new Beyblade X stadium has 3 zones but all on only 1 side. Additionally, there is a possibility of rebound. A rebound is when a Beyblade is knocked into a KO zone (or the extreme zone) but then comes back into the region of play. This rewards aggression because: 1) you do not have to worry about self KO as much because there is only one direction where the KO zones are located  2) There is a possibility of a highly fast moving...

Hello community, I am back with some tests to see the performance of different blades with ratchets. I decided to do this test to see which ratchet and blade combo is ideal. To test, I used Needle bit because that sharp tip is the most sensitive to any weight balance differences. Please keep in mind, this test is NOT to see which beyblade combination is good. This is merely to see which ratchet has a better weight balance with what blade.  Methodology: Each blade was spun 3 times on Needle bit. Since this test was to test the weight balance of the blade and ratchet combo, I decided to go with Needle since its sharp tip makes it very sensitive to weight imbalance. Due to time constraints I only decided to spin each combo 3 times and took the average. However to make the results more accurate, a large sample size of 10 spins would be better. Since Dran Dagger, Hells Chain, Rhino Horn, and 5-80 were not available they were not included in this test. Results: Hells Scythe 3-60: Average...

 Hello community, I am back with some testing on LeonClaw, the blade. Ever since the release of LeonClaw, the community has been very hyped to see a new beyblade that isn't defensive/stamina oriented. Our wishes were fulfilled when LeonClaw was released as a Balance type. While the beyblade has been out for a while now, I have only got the time recently to test it due to midterms.  LeonClaw presents an interesting dilemma for the Beyblade X analysts. While previous generations relied on aggressive blade (attack ring) design and aggressive movement drivers (rubber drivers) in conjunction with weight, Beyblade X seems to have relied very heavily on its rail system to utilize kinetic energy to KO opponents. While testing LeonClaw, unfortunately it has also fallen into the trap of being too dependent on its rail gimmick.  Abstract:  This study examined the performance of LeonClaw blade in different configurations. I used LeonClaw 5-60 on Needle, High Needle, Ball, Tapere...

 Ever since Beyblade X started, I have always wondered does the height of the ratchet matter as much? I mean....I've been told that higher ratchets are user worse of than shorter ones, but has there been any sort of empirical evidence? Why are they worse? So, while procrastinating for my cybersecurity assignment, I set out to actually see if this assumption was valid.  Methodology: Since Wizard Arrow is considered as the quintessential Stamina Beyblade, so I decided to chose that Beyblade attack ring/blade. For the bit, I decided to go with Ball as it is a round tip perfect for stamina combos. Needle and High Needle have a pointed end which make it very sensitive to blade weight distribution hence it was avoided. For ratchets, I used 3-60, 3-80, 4-80 and 4-80. This was also just for myself to see which ratchet was much better on Wizard Arrow. I have always believed it to be 4, but some people had suggested that 3 might be better. They Beyblade was not part of any bey battle an...

 Hello community, I am back, and this time, I have with me some Beyblade X parts analysis. With Beyblade X being so new and the points being different than the original Beyblade Metal series or HMS series, I thought this might be a perfect time to do analysis. As per my good friend WBO Dan, X is a lot of fun but it also takes player control out in a strange way. You can be winning but then due to no fault of your own, a lucky hit can push the opponent bey to the rail and cause that bey to use the Xtreme dash and burst you or KO you. I feel that sentiment is very common so I thought maybe it would be worth to break down the parts and analyze them. Keep in mind that while I agree somewhat with the sentiment, there are some ways whereby you can control your fate.  Blades: 1. Hells Scythe: The "jack of all trades but master of none" blade. It has decent attack and usually shines in counter attack due to its good weight distribution. Due to its versatility (for both attack and def...
