Event recap: Two's company, Three's a deck (WBO)

-

 Hello community,

    I am back with some recap of Two's company, Three's a deck (WBO) event. I have been a bit late just because I wanted to understand all the combos and why they were used and also because I was dealing with a wrist injury. My wrist injury also impacted my performance at the event in which I came 9th, narrowly missing the super 8. However, that's ok because its all part of the game. 


    The event was extremely fun with a lot of players of all ages coming out. We also had a few players from United States that showed up! They know who they are and if they are reading it, you guys were awesome! This was one of the first big events for Beyblade X hosted by WBO Dan in Toronto. 

    This event was also very significant because this was the first event where a lot of players had the time to formulate their combos and find out what the current meta would be. 


Picture 1 (from left to right): 3rd place originalzankye, 1st place Ali12345456, 2nd place1234beyblade

The top 3 beyblades in this event were:

1. Ali12345456 (Hellscythe 4-60N, Knightshield 3-80T, Dransword 3-60F) 




With his counter attack focused deck, his Hellscythe 4-60N really surprised everyone as Needle had a very poor reputation prior to this event. 


2. 1234beyblade (Dransword 3-60F, Knightshield 3-80B, Hellscythe 4-60HN)




Known as a fearsome attack specialist, it was no surprise that his Dransword 3-60F (stock) was able to demolish everyone. It wasn't just the beyblade, his consistent launch speed gave a lot of players headache.


3. originalzankye (Knightlance 3-60T, Hellscythe 4-60B, Knightshield 3-80HN)




Famed youtuber Zankye wowed everyone with his spin on the counter attack Knightlance on tapered. He was able to utilize the Knightlance blade's recoil to its advance and made it an attack type!


    One of the things learned in this event was that due to its very aggressive shape, Dransword wears down and loses its attack. That is one very significant drawback to Dransword because its Flat bit has very low stamina too. This event highlighted the importance and performance of counter attack beyblades rather than pure attack or defensive combos.

Beyblade X parts analysis

 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...

Brief Introduction to Beyblade X

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...

Taking Sides: Whose side are you on anyways?

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...
