Beyblade Random Thoughts

I'm genuinely not sure where you get off being so Schadenfreud, Ryu13 - you don't actually understand any of the things you talk about, you're just saying what you've seen us say. It's blatantly obvious to anyone who actually watches the things you say relative to when you last read something containing that information, because you will often mention chunks of information arbitrarily, not long after someone else, in another part of the board, has mentioned that exact same thing in that exact same way - often wildly out of context.

You need to sit down and actually try learning, not just mimicking - and while you're at it, try not to make such a horse's behind out of yourself about how much cooler you think you are for having things others cannot afford.

Anyway, unpleasantness aside, my Galaxy Pegasis DX Set will be here shortly - my friend took pity on my ruined SK BB-10 and went ahead and ordered my Christmas Present early so I would not have to go 40~60 days without Beyblading. Since a DX set didn't cost much more than a BB-10, and came with a 3-Seg launcher and a GPeg(which I've been wanting another of for a while anyway) that more than made up for the additional cost, she was content to spend the extra. I was absolutely thrilled to find out she was willing to do that for me - it was quite an upsetting idea to have to go so long without Beyblading, since I would not have been able to afford a BB-10 on my own until after the holiday season.

I'm currently waffling on what parts to tinker with next once I get it, though... I never did get around to testing Death on TH170, so I will probably prioritize that, I suppose.

Hah. Not only Schadenfreude, but more than a shading of Freudian overcompensation I'd say. (couldn't resist the pun - sorry)

@Ryu13: We try and accept everyone here for who they are - warts and all. That kind of posting is so much less effective than just posting about the things you like in a positive manner and trying to form real connections with other bladers. Those comments don't make you look cool, and they won't get you any friends here either. Just open up and be yourself!
Loving my new Blitz. I get now what you guys meant about Lightning but I still get k.os on basalt bd145cs with my Gravity. Going to post a vid with a comparison with blitz and gravity just for the heck of it.
I finally got my Driger F working again. I just replaced the SG and the part where it holds the SG with my Crystal Draciel S parts. I replaced the parts from the Crystal Draciel S with the parts from my spare Draciel S.

Funny thing is my Driger F can 'sometimes' beat my Driger V2 on my old Hasbro Dranzer Stadium...just sends it into the pockets...but my V2 still pwns F. Oh and a few minutes ago before I replaced Driger F's parts with Crystal Draciel parts (I was using my spare Seaborg 2 parts), my Driger F literally flew out of the stadium, when I tested it against my Driger V2 Eee

And I was using an old Hasbro Stadium XD
I'm thinking that, rather than spend $70 or so on two copies of the Beyblade etal Masters DS game solely for Susanow and Horuseus, I'll get the Susanow version and just order a Horuseus from dimsum.

It would be nice to double my Metal Face collection, though. Tongue_out
~~~
Also, I'm thinking the Beyblade portion of my Christmas wishlist is getting waaaay out of hand at the moment, lol.
Bakushin Eclipse + Horuseus = $40 ish? No more than that I'd bet..
$30 left
MF's are like $5 if you go on ebay
lol
Ugh, I dont like Hasbro's MF. They break easily T__T
I agree with the metal face thing
My friends literally cracked and the whole metal came out and the plastic broke
I wish never to get it
I think this MF business is just misuse XD
I've had my Hasbro one since last year... still works like a charm ;]
Same here. A little shaky and rattly, but still works great.
The TT MF breaks just as often as the Hasbro one, from what I've heard. Heavy Smash Attack combos or very abused Defense combos using it will eventually likely break the plastic surrounding the metal in the middle of it - MF-2s are severely less prone to this problem.

If V2's tip had the same angles as Driger S's, it would compete with Driger S for the best out of the box Driger. As it is it's not aggressive enough to make good use of the otherwise amazing offensive abilities of the SP and AR combination.

Actually, the Driger line was remarkably consistent and well thought-out. The only one without anything particularly useful competitively was Driger V. Even the side-beys, Death/Shadow Driger, Master Driger, and Metal Driger, are pretty much made up for by Metal Driger's HMC.

Even if Driger F wasn't the best, the gimmick works very well for whatever it was it's supposed to do (I recall reading that), and the shaft itself is great. A lot of Drigers generally seemed to have a much clearer, specialised "aim" compared to other lines. Not that other lines were without their merits, but a lot of the releases that were considered to be "must haves" were actually used for very different things than the "intended" use.
i just got a random thought about beyblade(hence the name, 'beyblade random thoughts').
What Takara Tomy (and even better, Hasbro) should do is still have the facebolts' motifs tattooed on there, but the part of the bolt that screws into the spin track should be metal.
:D

I already knew that Driger S was the best of the Driger series...I used to own one and I should have never lost it in the Philippines (TT____TT), I would have tested it with V2 (TT___TT)

When I got my Driger F, I noticed that compared to the other Driger series, especially S (which was my 2nd Driger...until I lost it) was more reliant on Attack because of it's SG, I heard that V was more attack base as well but as you said much less useful. But my F's SG tip has already been damaged from bumpy surfaces to it's not as good as it was out of the box...

Grin

Obviously that would just destroy and damage the plastic of the Track, hence why Metal Faces currently have a plastic encasing. There are good reasons behind most things ...
Thats a hard choice but usually i prefer the colour of worn stickers rather than just removing them but if they are worn to the point of hanging loosely off the bey there is no point in keeping them on
Plastics/HMS
Must have. Really, it's what makes the bey the bey, aesthetically. :3
MFB - If the face is printed tbh idc.
@Raigeko- Yes, I agree completely. Smile
But, not only the face, but also the CWs must have the design engraved... I hope you get what I mean... Tongue_out

For MFBs if it's a bey I don't have then I will stick it in, it will wear out eventually and they're Hasbro anyway so I don't really care if they're worn, if it's TT then I will worry. But for beys like my L-Drago, I have 2; 1 Takara and 1 Hasbro. My TT L-Drago has stickers and it's so I never use it in battle - I put stickers though. My Hasbro L-Drago has no stickers at all so I can use it in battle.

As for Plastics, if I've had them for aaaaaaaaaaaaages then I won't really care much because if they're already worn it's too late to go back in time to fix the problems (look what happened to my Driger F in the Photo Gallery), but for recently bought plastics, I now worry about the stickers. I don't put stickers at all if they're duplicates (like my new Draciel S my mom got recently).

For the new beys I will be getting, look at the recent purchases thread; I'm going to prevent them ending up the same way as what happened to the stickers of Driger F and V2 (see my recent posts in the Photo Gallery)

When I looked at R0ckBULL's (member of this forum) Driger MS, he said that there is a symbol of Driger in the bit protector already and I saw that the sticker had already gone through the print mold, so I'm deciding that I shouldn't put any of the 2 stickers of Driger MS (Beast print nor logo print) on the bit protector because they will end up like the sticker on bit chip of my Driger F (see Photo Gallery as well)
You can always coat the stickers with Clear Spray or Nail Polisher to protect them..i always do that..you dont need to scare of your stickers getting worned too,,
Ariels SG Grip tip is removable to reveal an extremely wide flat metal tip. Way more aggresive than rubber...
Ariel?you mean Uriel?i know it can pulled off..but is it legal?its not that wide..a bit wider than SG metal Flat 2..XD
Yuh, lol uriel.
Probably not legal, but definitely cool.
It can actually bank properly if shot right Gasp
IT IS EXTREMELY WIDE!
a bit smaller than XF i guessed.. XD
