Downforce is the effect of a wing producing lift downwards, thus pulling the vehicle/device/beyblade down.
Btw I'm not sure that going on about alignment is appropriate... The intent of aligning the AR and WD is to create a "perfectly round" surface that rolls on the floor with little rolling resistance, and keeps recoil to a minimum. This means that the beyblade can continue to spin even after it has fallen over, making it useful for LAD. Since a Metal Wheel or Chrome Wheel acts as both AR and WD, there's no real case where "alignment" is an issue. The wheels are just smooth; if Revizer is the bottom Wheel in a Synchrom, it doesn't matter what's on top, at least in terms of LAD. If a part is not going to make contact with the floor, it doesn't matter for LAD, which brings us to the topic of CF. If ______ F230CF never falls over, unless completely stopped, then any part above CF doesn't matter for LAD. Thus, CF is, in fact, the beyblade's "side", since the only time where any other part will touch the floor will be when you have already lost, making it a moot point.
SO....
I say that F230CF, Duo, and Revizer can be combined to make combinations with extremely high LAD. Whether these can be considered "zombies" is somewhat of a matter of opinion but I would say that Duo _____ F230CF and Revizer Dragoon F230CF are as close to zombies as are possible in MFB.

Wouldn't we refer to a combo like Duo ____ F230CF as a zombie of sorts?
Beywiki Wrote:The origin of the name "Zombie" is not its ability to steal spin, but its "life after death" ability. The term "Life After Death" is used to describe a zombie's ability to continue spinning on its side after it has fallen over. If your Beyblade is still making complete rotations, it is still considered to be spinning. To have this ability, your Beyblade must be perfectly round at the points that touch the stadium floor when it falls over.
CF is perfectly round at the points that touch the ground...
Considering the fact that CF has such a wide edge that provides support for the entire beyblade
even after it has stopped spinning , as opposed to the edge of RDF/EWD type bottoms, couldn't that be referred to as the beyblade's "side?" Since it won't topple any further than CF's rim?
Ingulit Wrote:When a CF-using Beyblade starts spinning at low spin rates, it leans on the disk of CF and continues to spin thanks to CF's circular shape. CF's disk is so wide that most Beyblades will not topple any further, meaning CF's LAD bonus can be applied to nearly any custom. The tip is an aggressive tip and it has some issues with scraping at high spin rates, but its ability to give LAD is almost unmatched...
Regarding the Chrome/Metal wheels...

Doesn't Duo's metal frame and core align perfectly? Don't Reviser and Dragooon (Reviser Dragoon F230CF) align?
1) Aren't these F230CF customs perfectly round at the points that touch the stadium floor?
2) Don't these customs continue to spin on their "side" after they have fallen?
3) Don't they use metal/chrome wheels that align well and are round to some extent?
Just wondering Thanks!
