but ill give it a try
but ill give it a try
Good news everyone! I just bought some battle strikers and they're really good.They can't outshine beyblade but at least you can control their actions!
Metal xs are going to pwn beyblades so much they wont make anymore(beyblades)

Damn, I'm AWOL for 5 days and I miss nearly 15 pages of striker chit-chat.
New stuff looks sweet, can't say I care much for the new launchers, though the new controllers look nice. I like the way the bottoms (lock/tip) of the metal XS look too. A lot less bulk than first gen strikers.
The character art for XS is pretty cool too. I'm a sucker for pretty shiny things.
On the weekend, I had to try and find some toys for my cousin's 4 year old daughter, she didn't want to watch pokemon, so I tried to give her a rainbow bright doll, to which she asked me why it didn't talk (spoiled brat
). And then she asked me for boy toys, and told me that she wanted zombies, so I gave her a Ganondorf action figure, still no dice. Finally I brought out my strikers and after a couple minutes of showing her how to get them off the launcher, she was mildly entertained, which I consider a win. I don't think I could ever have taught a 4 year old how to load, lock, and launch a bey.
I love the "spirit" logos, they remind me of the sleek HMS logos I loved so much. Also screw stickers, paint is the way to go.
If I see poison serpent in this thread anymore I'm going to saw out my eyes with a beyblade.
edit: also that youtube review is funny, I wish I had full military gear for playing with tops.

I'd originally stated that all the plastic we use is ABS. Today I was asking about different materials we could use, and I found out that we do not use ABS for our Tips in Series 2 and XS, but instead use POM.
No fooling?!
POM is a rare find in toys, let alone none Japanese ones.

This is meaningless babble to most of you, so I'll elaborate; Zeus' CEW "Light Sharp" also used POM. POM has a very low amount of friction, increasing spin time!
Wow, that's a really interesting bit of information. I've never heard of that material before. I do wonder why Takara waited so long to use the material. Does it cost more to utilize?

I don't know the cost to utilize, I will look into it! I would be confident in saying it costs more than ABS, though.
I dont know what ABS and POM stand forbut y r we talking about plastic. Lets talk more about metal xs and show ppl here who dont have them newer pictures or videos of how the metal xs that we haven't seen yet play, perform, or look.

The Metal XS Strikers still have plastic in them ... the tips, for example. So, I think it's very fascinating to know that we are using super-low friction plastic in order to increase the spin time of these tops.
like in the previous tournament sets will the metal xs tournament set have places to hold strikers (3 for each person)
ah as long as theres no 10 minute battles lol

How? It's not like you can go, get a cup of tea, come back in.
because you have to control the strikers
because you have to control the strikers
Maybe 10 years from now there can be like this radar that shows your striker on the stadium and you have this little control where you can move the striker as you walk, that's if there will be 10-30 minute battles.
Can you say, argh my arm is cramping? HAHA
A game with a beatable final boss!
remote controlled battle strikers would be so cool.

Is it just me, or are strikers not already "remote controlled"? With any more remoteness to it, you might as well just be playing a video game. Feeling the power and control of the magnets is half the fun in my opinion.
not really. you're just pushing a plastic top powered by AA batteries with A MAGNET! I mean by remote like a car.
