I know everyone gets great results with it, but storm, quetz, and ray used to be like that too... I don't know why, but other wheels just seem to do better. Gravity being the main one. I did a couple of rounds with MF Vulcan Horuseus 85RF vs MF-H Earth Bull GB145RS yesterday and it just didn't seem to do that well, it got KO'd by recoil quite a bit, and yeah.
And the RF works fine on other beys, it's not much more worn than when I did my testing with Screw Pisces 90RF (which did rather impressively, by the way).
It just doesn't seem to do as well as gravity or lightning, I suspect it's the fact it's spinning in the same direction as it's opponents (as left spin destabilises rs/rsf/230), but yeah.
Other random thoughts: For certain MW's, CW choice makes a huge difference, screw being the most obvious example I've seen, pisces exposes the slopes properly, so the wheel has it's full effect. For the same reason, I use the Attack version of Perseus (from the reshuffle set).
Oh, and something I posted in the illegal mods thread a while back that I don't think anyone noticed: The metal prong/tab bits on metal wheels don't actually stop the wrong beylauncher prongs from fitting in at all, really. The only part that does are the plastic walls that sit in front of these, on the CW. I removed them from a pegasis wheel I wasn't using (leaving enough for launcher prongs to clip onto), and Voilà , any right spin wheel could be spun left. Ray worked really nicely like that, but the most interesting thing, I thought, was Burn. Burn (LR)Pegasus 90RF, in left spin, is amazing, and it also has pretty good stamina, considering it's on rf.
The real consequence of that, is that TT could make a beyblade with a CW without the walls that fit onto other wheels, and yeah, we'd be able to use any beyblade in whatever spin we wanted (other than LDrago's, and Pre-HWS blades). I know they wouldn't, but it'd be cool.
Lightning and Gravity are definatly better than Vulcan. Look at the tier list.
