Might try doing that tonight and see what happens. Honestly I haven’t used my wV since czV came out. The layer is cool but I do not like Volcanic. That being said I would welcome a Volcanic’ to see if it gets revised.

Having a Volcanic’ would not change things tbh It is still too uncontrollable and is a plastic attack type driver.

Yeah I am trying to be too optimistic. Changing it would just be making a completely new driver.

I mainly want the Cross disk frame, Alter Chronos layer, Iron and Variable drivers (I have a 0. to pair the Disk Frame with).

How do I fare for purchases?

(Also might get Shelter Regulus because it looks really cool)

They arent worth it, get heat salamander and cho z achilles, they are top tier bruh, those you want are old and burst prone.

He's already said he has no means of doing online purchases to get anything meta-worthy, so he can only get what is available locally such as that. Given that scenario I'd say they did pretty well.

I used wV 00V X and czV Z X/Ds And wV was better.



Also can anyone give me some good pics of Xtend+ Chip, I am making a Model for it.

Well, part of that is that you're using Zenith on Cho-Z Valkyrie, which is lighter and less effective than 00 in all means. Even then, Cho-Z Valkyrie's burst stoppers get in its own way, so you really have to launch it as hard as possible without activating those for maximum power.

I have heard about what you stated above.So I have wondered since then,if the cho z valkyrie layers whose wings don't pop out at even high speed,are really blessings in disguise(they will probably burst more often,but considering attack power,they are superior)?
Also, is a cho z valkyrie layer (whose wings do't pop out at even high speeds) better than cho z achilles?I know a normal cho z valkyrie is outclassed by cho z achilles in terms of attack power.

I used long winder for that purpose. I didn't activated the stoppers.

I think the best you can get with Cho-Z Valkyrie is if only the Burst Stopper wing pops out, which still allows it to expose its contact points well and makes it unburstable.

Tests don't say the same.It seems to have better chance to burst opponents if it's wings are not popped out.
(Dec. 06, 2018  8:39 PM)MonoDragon Wrote: Cho-Z Valkyrie 10 Xtend+ (Stamina Mode) vs Archer Hercules Outer Eternal
Spoiler (Click to View)
Cho-Z Valkyrie Win Rate: 50%
Archer Hercules Win Rate: 50%

At the 4th round, I accidently launched Cho-Z Valkyrie too lightly to activate the gimmick, I was about to grab it until Archer Hercules Burst. After that I specified when I activated the gimmick. Cho-Z Valkyrie definitely has greater recoil when the gimmick isn’t activated.

So there seem to be three strategies for Cho-Z Valkyrie, use plastic Drivers for full launch power Mobile Attack, use Xtreme' for moderate launch power Mobile Attack or use Stamina Drivers for a moderate launch power Stationary Attack
Cho-Z Valkyrie 10Bump Xtreme (somewhat worn) vs Hell Salamander (Defense Mode) 7 Atomic
Spoiler (Click to View)
Cho-Z Valkyrie Win Rate: 45%
Hell Salamander Win Rate: 55%

All launches were moderate, to not activate the gimmick. I truly think that most of Hell Salamander’s wins were because I had trouble finding the butter zone between “high enough speed for good Attack” and “slow enough to not activate the gimmick”. If you can get that right, I’m sure you can get Cho-Z Valkyrie’s win rate up to 70%
https://imgur.com/a/Av91srn
So I figured out why the recoil is greater when the gimmick is off
Green is where the point of contact is when the gimmick is activated, it's very acute and impacts slip off
Red is where the point of contact is when the gimmick is off, it's much more blunt and hits harder

I wonder if I'm being overly analytical or cynical here, but I can't help notice that Random Boosters for sale by Takara Tomy are eerily similar to the controvesial loot boxes in the gaming industry, if only because they both encourage exorbitant spending without a guarantee of getting what you want (well, there is, but it involves opening the box (although not the plastic bags themselves) and looking at the stickers, and such a method might get me questioned if I get caught doing that in the store).

Am I worried over too much here, or do I have a point?

The problems with most in-game loot boxes is that they're often abused as a selling tactic to make money, either by forcing players to buy loot boxes to improve their chances of winning (a.k.a. "pay to win" games) or enticing them to buy their loot items in some other way (e.g. trying to get people to collect character skins). That's all beside the fact that you're paying money for a bit of code on your account that says "This player has X item", which could be subject to change or be removed without warning. Their problems lie entirely within their aggressive selling tactics and necessity on top of not guaranteeing that you'll get what you're looking for.

Physical items in the same vein such Beyblade Random Boosters still get you a physical item the company can't take away from you for any reason, and aren't being sold to you aggressively like most loot boxes are. Although similar in principle of being a random chance based system, they're free from the loot box issues because they're neither being aggressively pushed nor absolutely required to win competitively and can't be taken away.

I mean do random booster packs of Pokemon or MTG cards also upset you? It's just a way to create scarcity so that everybody has a fair chance at getting the limited item. It also guarantees sales even if some of the items may be less desirable, because some people will will stop at nothing to get the desired item.

so I was at my local toy store the other day, and there was one last box of Random Booster Vol 8 remaining.

Using my tried-and-true method of confirming what's in the box (it involves opening the box via the "flat" side which is often unsecured with duct tape so its only a matter of doing it without damaging the box, and taking a look at the sticker sheet. It leaves little to no damage to the packaging, and is often brief, although I recommend doing it only if no one is around to supervise or catch you doing it, as it may be potentially troublesome if someone sees you doing it), it turned out to be the prize bey herself, Shelter Regulus!
I wasted no time in buying it. I don't care if Tower and Shelter Regulus are both terrible (though I admit Shelter Regulus has a sexy blue color to it), I cannot be happier to obtain a prize bey from the last box of RB vol 8.
It also means I will have to stop worrying about Shelter Regulus and move on to more competitive beys, such as Sieg XCalibur, Blaze Ragnaruk, and/or possibly Legend Spriggan.

Although I find merit in MagikHorse's dpoint; while the value of the bey we open is up to interpretation, we get to keep whatever we get at no extra cost, and its ours forever. And Takara doesn't ever market them extensively if at all; contrast that to, well, the personification of corporate evil itself, EA.

I wish I could obtain Dead and Revive Phoenix, but unless my family ever plans a trip to Japan or some other Asian country (and Takara-Tomy distributes there), I don't have any chance of doing it lol.

Okay so I was looking through old WBO posts on Victory Valkyrie. Apparently the black rubber of Variable had added carbon for its black color. Perhaps that also made the rubber harder and more brittle. Would explain why my Red Variable (From Dragoon F) and Evolution haven't worn down yet despite fairly heavy use since their rubber isn't carbonized

Idk about the carbonized aspect of the original Variables, but I have noticed the red rubber on Jl' and Hn' is much closer in hardness and texture to the rubber from Drain Fafnir than the softer, more rubbery texture of the rubber from X' or the slightly harder rubber of earlier Xtreme Drivers.

I haven't used the Variable from my Dragoon F remake, but the next time I'm home, I'll definitely compare them to each other. If you've got Evolution, it might be worthwhile to compare them too.

The new, harder rubber does seem more resistant to wear, but that also means less traction on the stadium floor. I don't think the trade-off's worth it for a Driver like Jl', but I appreciate it for the smaller diameter of Hn' since it would otherwise become worn very quickly like Rubber Sharp from MFB.

EDIT: Meant Jolt, not Spiral, haha. Thanks for catching that, @[BeyCrafter]!

I think you mean Jolt'. Spiral has no rubber

Hi. What's the best camera to use for slow motion? I tried on my phone but the video is really dark and grainy.
