***MORE TESTING WILL BE ADDED OF 230 DEFENCE TESTING AGAINST OTHER ATTACK COMBINATIONS, STAMINA TRACK TESTING AND 230 BEING USED AS AN ATTACK TYPE***
From the results that I’ve gathered so far 230 definitely is top tier potential.
I’ve only had enough time to test a few tracks out but 230 nullifies the use of LTSC which are beaten comprehensively against 230. With 230 now in the picture the focus will shift back to the 145 track height range since mid heights like CH120, T125, D125 and 125 aren't dominant over their 145 track counterparts. When battling a combo taller then 120 the 230 combo would be struck directly underneath the attack wheel which would either do one of two things, it would strike the 230 combo off balance and would allow the opponent to continue it’s onslaught of forcing 230 off balance and allow the lower track height combination to win the match or because of 230’s height 230 would strike the opponent on the top of their attack wheel causing them to off balance and KO quickly. Of which one of the two scenarios occurs is based on the current spin rate and balance of the two opposing Beyblades at the time of contact.
Even though this defence combo was using WB it’s still achieving a reasonable win rate, though against MF Gravity Perseus 90RF the 230 track seemed to struggle a little though only when using a WB bottom. The hits that Gravity produced seemed to hit 230 about mid way on the track causing it some discomfort which allowed Gravity to gain a few easy KO’s.
These are the most interesting of all the results, 230’s potential to outclass even GB145 in pure defensive prowess. I haven’t had the chance to test out against MF Pegasus 145RF a taller track height combo but the results from anything smaller then the 125 height so far indicate that when 230 is coupled with RS it becomes an unmovable object. Due to the cylindrical shape of 230 which also allows the wheel which it’s coupled with to protrude over an opponent causing a low track RF based attack combo to immensely struggle against the shape of 230. Even if a low track RF attack combo were to achieve a perfect flower pattern the attacks would either just miss the 230 defence combo or strike it in an area along the track that doesn’t produce any recoil, 230 is really a marvel.
It’s only early days yet in regards to testing 230 but the signs of it becoming a potential top tier defensive track and to a lesser extent a top tier stamina track are certainly there. 230 has completely nullified the use of lower track RF attack combos and lower track stamina combos with neither of the two categories achieving anything higher then a 30% win rate against 230 and even Earth Bull 85WD a combo which achieves a 100 - 90% win rate against every other stamina track available recorded a miserable 0% win rate. More testing needs to conducted by other members but this is definitely a must buy track.
