__TOC__

'''Note:''' This Beyblade was released as apart of the Beyblade Deck Attack & Defense Set and was released as a Starter instead of inside a Set by [[Hasbro]].
==Face: Aquario==
The Face on this Beyblade depicts Aquarius, the eleventh astrological sign in the Zodiac.

==Clear Wheel: Aquario==
*'''Weight:''' 3.2 grams
Aquarioâ€™s original release color is navy, featuring a wave pattern which repeats itself four times. This release is a pearlescent blue color. It is amongst the heaviest Clear Wheels, making it one of the best Clear Wheel choices for HWS-based [[Defense]] customizations.

===Use in Defense Customization===
Aquario is the Clear Wheel of choice in the top-tier Defense Combination ''MF-H Duo Aquario BD145CS''.

===Use in Stamina Customization===
Aquario's great weight distribution has good synergy with the [[Duo Uranus 230WD#4D Metal Wheel: Duo | Duo]] Metal Wheel in the top-tier Stamina Combination ''Duo Aquario TH170D''.

==Metal Wheel: Cyber==
*'''Weight:''' 29.46 grams
Cyber is styled like a Hybrid Wheel System version of the Metal System Pegasis with a three-winged design. Its original release is painted a crimson red.

Like the original Pegasis Wheel, it was meant for [[Attack]], notably [[Force Smash]]. However, in fact, Cyber is even more useless than Pegasis, which at least enjoyed momentary use in competitive Attack types. This Hybrid Wheel System version is lighter than Pegasis in order to compensate for the Clear Wheel on top of it, and its wings are ever so slightly rounder and not as pronounced, which ruins its potential of achieving decent attacks. Having no use in Stamina nor in Defense because of its [[Recoil]], Cyber is outclassed in all fields.
Overall, it should be one of the last choices for Attack.

===Use in Attack Customization===
If you somehow don't have access to competitive Wheels, MF Cyber ____ 145RF is a viable Attack combo, mostly in Hasbro metagames.

==Track: 105==
{| class="wikitable"
|Weight:
|1 gram
|Width with Handles:
|22.0 mm
|Maximum Width:
|18.0 mm
|Minimum Width:
|16.0 mm
|Core Cylinder Diameter:
|11.0 mm
|Full Height:
|10.50 mm
|}

This track is currently the fourth lowest track available, but is outclassed in terms of [[Attack]] and [[Survival | Stamina]] by the 85, 90, and 100 Tracks. 105 has no problem with floor scrapes, but still is an outclassed part and should only be chosen when none of the aforementioned Tracks are available.

==Bottom: Rubber Flat==
{| class="wikitable"
|Weight:
|0.8 gram
|Full Width:
|15.82 mm
|Tip Width:
|5.55 mm
|Full Height:
|11.09 mm
|Tip Height:
|7.97 mm
|}

RF, as its name implies has a flat, hard rubber tip, with a small indentation on the base of the tip. Its tip has just about the same width as WF, and is the second highest Bottom next to HF/S, which makes the second shortest Track, 90, particularly useful in combination with this part.

By using its wide surface area and rubber material, the Bottom has a large amount of traction against the stadium floor, resulting in a such a fast and powerful attack pattern that it often renders itself useless by self-KOing the Beyblade it is being used on. Part of the blame for this problem can be put on the poor Tornado Ridge of the Attack Stadium, but the fact remains that RF was designed long after the release of the Attack Stadium, and should be able to maintain itself within it. To alleviate this problem it is recommended that you never use a brand new RF in any sort of competitive situation, as its likelihood of self-KOing is much higher; wear it down a little with some practice battles first. When this is done, the rapid movement of RF may subside slightly, but it becomes more controllable, and thus, more useful.

The use of rubber and the friction it creates with the stadium floor does lower its [[Survival | Stamina]] in comparison to plastic flat tips such as F and WF, but this is usually not a problem as an [[Attack]] types goal is to KO the other Beyblade, and it also helps reduce the recoil of violent wheels such as [[Sagittario 145S | Sagittario]].

===Mold Variations===
[[Image:09StormPegasis.jpg|thumb|SonoKong mold: left, TAKARA-TOMY mold: right]]
RF has three different molds. The original [[TAKARA-TOMY]] manufactured RF, the [[SonoKong]] manufactured RF variant, and the Hasbro manufactured RF. Some of the TAKARA-TOMY RFs tend to spin around freely when twisted between fingers, due to the circular nature of the rubber that held the tip itself into place. However this problem was rectified by the SonoKong mold which flattened two opposite sides of the rubber that holds the tip itself into the plastic section of the Bottom itself. The flattened sides make it impossible to spin the tip freely, thus solving the problem. The Hasbro mold has a thick bar in the middle of the tip, securing the rubber.

The performance difference between the three molds is negligible, but it is likely that the SonoKong and Hasbro mold would be more sturdy by not spinning around.

===Use in Attack Customization===
RF is considered by many to be one of the best [[Attack]] Bottoms currently available, and can be used for all of the current top-tier [[Attack]] customs including: ''MSF-H Wyvang Wyvang GB145RF'', and ''Balro Balro CH120RF''.

===Use in Defense Customization===
After heavy use, RFs tend to wear down, and their movement is reduced significantly. When this is the case, the traction created by the rubber can be useful to keep the blade from being knocked from the stadium. RF can be used effectively in the [[Defense]] customization ''MFS-L Girago Girago BD145RF''.

===Use in Balance Customization===
'''NOTE: The Libra Wheel is now ''Legal'' under WBO Organized Play Official Rules.'''

Long before Libra was banned, it surprisingly found use in a very specific Balance customization; in fact, it was really the only competitively viable Balance customization at that point in time. The custom is Libra CH120RF. Here is how it performed against the current staple customs of the time:

*'''Versus Virgo DF145D -- use 120 height'''

Even though Libra is one of the heaviest Wheels ever created, because its weight is focused around the outside, it is still quite agile with RF. On its own, Libra is not a very effective Smash Attack Wheel, but its weight distribution in combination with the fast moving RF allow it to achieve an astonishing 90% win rate against Virgo DF145D. 120 height must be used in order for the Metal Wheels to make contact or it won't work.

*'''Versus Quetzalcoatl 90RF -- use 145 height'''

By switching to 145 height, the Track will absorb all of the hits dealt by Quetzalcoatl. The weight of Libra combined with the grip of RF give it enough defense to withstand most attacks, and again, the win rate is 90%.

*'''Versus MF Libra C145WB -- use 120 height'''

The win ratio against the top tier Defense combo isn't that great -- only about 60% -- but this still isn't bad, considering how strong it is against the other two types. If you can avoid using this combo against Defense-types, you should, but if you're forced into that situation you can win with a perfect shot and a little luck.

To effectively use this custom, you absolutely had to be able to perform Sliding Shoot because the window for landing a successful attack was much smaller than with other Storm or Quetzalcoatl-based Attackers. A skilled Blader could use this customization as an answer to almost anything that is thrown at them. However, during the time Libra was banned, this custom's use diminished greatly due to the multitude of parts that were released in its absence. It is still usable against Attack types, and Stamina types on lower Tracks, but it is nowhere near as versatile as it once was.

==Other Versions==
* '''Storm Aquario M145Q''' â€“ Hybrid Wheel Reshuffle Set (Attack & Balance) (Clear Red)
* '''Rock Aquario 125SF''' â€“ [[Pegasus Tornado Wing Set|Faceoff: Pegasis Tornado Wing]]
* '''Cyber Aquario 105RF''' - Beyblade Deck Attack & Defense Set (Light Blue)
* '''Storm Aquario 100HF/S''' -Beyblade Metal Fusion (Dark blue)
* '''Dark Aquario 100HF/S''' -Fusion Wheel Change (Dark blue)

==Overall==
While this Beyblade has two top tier parts in Aquario and RF they both can be obtained in more competitive releases. '''This Beyblade should only be bought for collection purposes.'''

I actually would disagree with this... Aquario doesn't really come with any very competitive beyblades Confused

And, I believe this is one of, if not the, cheapest way to get an RF. Storm Pegasis is around 40 bucks these days...

Yeah, Aquario can be used in the combos Duo Aquario B Grin

, Duo Aquario BD145CS, Duo Aquario 230D/SD, and MF-H Death/Duo Aquario B Grin

should work too.

Oh no no no, I meant that I think this is one of the best beyblades that you can get aquario with... Aquario is one of the best clear wheels. I think this beyblade is a good buy 'cause it comes with both Aquario and RF, that's all. Smile

I didn't say Aquario can't be used in competitive combos, just that it doesn't come with many competitive beyblades.

105 is the fourth lowest ... ?

On the overall, there is this set which has RF and Cancer (which is a good sub for Aquario) as well as MF-H, 85, D, and WD.

Can you change the Counter Escolpio article as well as this draft, because it needs to state in the beginning that the Beyblade comes from x Set and was later released individually as a Starter by Hasbro ?

I know and I agree with that. I was just listing competitive combos Aquario can be used in.

Well that set is harder to find and more expensive.

Also when this draft is up Beywiki will have an article for every thing that comes in the attack and defense deck set.

one, instead of Duo aquario TH170D talk about Duo aquario W145WD, also Libra CH120RF isn't that useful anymore.

Done and done.

@nupmunk: I got that set for $13 ...

I agree with you about both but would W145BWD be better?

Oh!

My bad, I thought it said 4th tallest... IE 145>135>120>105

Sorry 'bout that XD

You've got a good point there... would it be a good idea to actually list the set(s) that are a better buy?

Also, even if there are alternatives, I wouldn't necessarily say it's a bad idea to purchase it, IMO.

P.S. Nice draft! Gosh you're fast...

Overall, it should be one of the last choices for Attack in Standard Format, and it is only somewhat usable in Limited.

===Use in Attack Customization===
If more competitive Attack wheels are unavailable, MF Cyber ____ 145RF is a somewhat viable Attack combo in Limited Format.

==Track: 105==
{| class="wikitable"

|}

This track is currently the fourth lowest track available, but is outclassed in terms of [[Attack]] and [[Survival | Stamina]] by the 85, 90, and 100 Tracks. 105 has no problem with floor scrapes, and has some niche use on low-hanging Wheels like Duo, but still is an outclassed part and should generally only be chosen when none of the aforementioned Tracks are available.

RF, as its name implies, has a flat, hard rubber tip, with a small indentation on the base of the tip. Its tip has just about the same width as XF, and is the second highest Bottom next to HF/S, alongside many of the other rubber and metal tips.

By using its wide surface area and rubber material, this Bottom has a large amount of traction against the stadium floor, resulting in a such a fast and powerful attack pattern. New RF tips often renders themselves useless by self-KOing the Beyblade they are used on; to alleviate this problem it is recommended that you never use a brand new RF in any sort of competitive situation, as its likelihood of self-KOing is much higher; wear it down a little with some practice battles first.

===Use in Defense Customization===
RF's mobility and strong grip make it useful for Mobile Defense combinations, which use RF to match opposing Attack types' movement patterns, greatly reducing the force of impacts. RF may be used in the top-tier Mobile Defense combo MF-H Duo Cygnus BD145RF.
After heavy use, RFs tend to wear down, and their movement is reduced significantly. When this is the case, the traction created by the rubber can be useful to keep the blade from being knocked from the stadium. RF can be used effectively in the [[Defense]] customization ''MFS-L Girago Girago BD145RF''. //This is probably Anti-Attack, not Defense.

You might as well pick up an Aquario if you need an RF, while Storm Pegasis provides nothing of value aside from RF and 105, which Cyber Aquario also has.

[[Category:Metal Fight Beyblade]]
[[Category:Beyblade]]

Made some substantial alterations and updates. Also, I put in a few //comments in places where I think changes are necessary, but I didn't want to go ahead and do them without discussing first.

I think the Libra CH120RF section should be exclusive to the Libra and possibly the CH120 articles, as Libra's performance and CH120's height changing gimmick are more essential to the combo's versatility than RF is.

Threads and combos!
