So I've had Bakushin Susanow for awhile now. Actually I have the 105F version, but 90WF is on BeyWiki already anyway.
Let the criticism begin.
Quote:Note: Bakushin Susanow is only available with the DS game, "Metal Fight Beyblade: Bakushin Susanow Shuurai!"
Face: Susanow
The Face depicts Susanoo, the Shinto kami (spirit) of Storms and Seas. It shows the head of the spirit being formed by fire.
Clear Wheel: Susanow
"Susanoo" is an ancient kami from Shinto that rules over Seas and Storms. The Clear Wheel was released in a semi-dark shade of blue. It has two protrusions slightly ramping upward. There are also two very smooth spots where the word "Susanow" is written in orange letters.
Metal Wheel: Bakushin
Bakushin was released in a coat of Ivory colored paint. The paint on this wheel is very flaky and is of low quality, making this wheel one of the easiest parts to lose it's aesthetics. The Bakushin wheel has very little recoil since every ridge on it is very small. The metal wheel overhangs the track like Rock and also greatly resembles Rock. Bakushin has 2 main contact points, each with several patterns carved in. These contact points are a bit pronounced, allowing for Bakushin to have mediocre ability for Attack. There are areas adjacent to these contact points have 5 squares each. The two squares adjacent to the one in that area's center each have a semi-circle covering them. Bakushin was tested and was found to have great Stamina potential due to it having a little bit of weight on its perimeter and with it somewhat overhanging whichever track its being used on, reducing it's height. It's width is also smaller than that of Burn's, but only by a very small margin, adding to it's Stamina capabilities. Bakushin was able to defeat Burn Mold 1 in a Stamina test, however it lost to Earth Mold 1.
Use in Attack Customization:
The Attack combo, Bakushin _____ 90RF fares quite well against Defense-types.
Use in Stamina Customization:
Bakushin also has use in Stamina-type customs when combined with the Bull Clear Wheel, 145 and WD. These parts make Bakushin Bull 145WD, a very decent Stamina-type custom.
Track: 90
Weight: 0.9 grams
90 was the lowest Track until the release of 85 with Mercury Anubis. Its low height is good for both low Attack customizations and low Stamina customizations, but is outclassed slightly in both regards by the aforementioned 85. This version of 90 is clear.
Use in Attack Customization
If 85 is unavailable, 90 can still be effective in Attack customizations such as MF Vulcan Horuseus 90R²F.
Use in Stamina Customization
If 85 is unavailable, 90 can be put to use in the Stamina customization Earth Bull 90WD.
Bottom: Wide Flat
Weight: 0.6 grams
WF, like the name suggests, is a wider version of F. Its significantly larger surface area allows it to travel much faster than F. However, due to the fact that it is plastic, it is slower than RF, as it does not produce as much friction with the stadium floor and is not able to neutralize the recoil of certain Wheels as efficiently as RF. It has also much more trouble maintaining the "flower pattern" from a Sliding Shoot due to this. The upside to its lower friction is that it has much better Stamina than RF, allowing it to be used in destabilizing attackers. This version of WF is clear.
Use in Attack Customization
WF works exceptionally well in the destabilizing attacker MF L Drago 100WF. MF increases the weight of the Beyblade, which is important in this case because L Drago is one of the lightest Wheels ever created, and while it may not have terribly high recoil, the fact that it is utilizing a plastic Flat Bottom with less friction than a rubber-based Flat Bottom, makes it easier to KO. The 100 Track lowers the Beyblade to a level where it is able to destabilize any opponent, without the risk of scraping the floor with a Track such as 85 or 90. Additionally, it also provides it with a minutely increased amount of precession time, which is vital for this custom, as it will regularly win by a fraction of a second. WF provides enough movement speed to help it KO it's opponent, while still retaining a relatively high amount of Stamina for an Attack type.
When pitted against Defense customizations not utilizing 230, this combo has an almost 100% win rate, and will win both by KO and out-spin depending on which parts it's opponent is using.
Against Stamina customizations utilizing 230, it performs poorly, just as it does against 230-based Defense customs, but against any other height MF L Drago 100WF has a decent chance at victory depending on the condition of the Bottom it's opponent is using, the strength of their opponents launch, and the Wheel being utilized.
Versus conventional Attack types utilizing a rubber-based Bottom such as RF, it also has a decent chance at victory. However, this is only if it is able to outrun said Bottom, something which is entirely possible with WF's high movement speed which rivals that of RF. In these instances it also has the ability to win by KO–often by simply "pushing" the opponent out of the stadium as it circles the Tornado Ridge (remember, WF has a tough time retaining the "flower" pattern)–or via out-spin due to its higher stamina compared to the RF custom.
This combo is far from being perfect, but it is a very safe combo to use in a competitive situation, as you will almost always have at least a chance of winning.
Other Versions:
-Metal Face Bakushin Susanow 105F (Hasbro release version with blue Metal Face)
-Bakushin Susanow 90WF Luna Eclipse Version (Dark red Face, Track and Bottom. Black Metal Wheel. Black Clear Wheel with white text)
Overall:
Bakushin's untapped Stamina potential is abundant, as well as its Attack potential. Though it still lost to Earth Mold 1, leaving it outclassed. Though 90 was a staple in Metal Fight Beyblade's early metagame, it has been outclassed since then. WF as a pure Attack bottom is outclassed as well, although it still finds a niche in destabilizing customs. At the moment, there is little to no reason on purchasing this Beyblade, outside of collection purposes.
Let the criticism begin.
