I was informed that HMS does NOT have a lot of defensive capabilities, is that true?

---

Veteran, just getting back into the sway of things

Do you mean as a series? There are some defensive parts.

“In the course of twenty crowded years, one parts with many illusions. I did not wish to lose the early ones. Some memories are realities, and are better than anything that can ever happen again.” -Jim Burden (My Ántonia)

It is more or less true. The HMS meta has a lot of Attack, a lot of Stamina, and not so much Defense. That's because Attack and Stamina have some great parts like Grip Flat Core UV, Bearing Core, and Circle Upper, while the only really good Defensive part is Bearing Core 2.

And yet I won third place strictly with Defense. The amount of Attack used was rather impressive though, I must admit. It could have been that people were more confident with it though, somehow.

I'm so glad I found a Bearing Core 2 in a lot from sporkseller, because it's the only super useful part. I just need a good AR.

Is it worth it to buy a Sono Kong Dranzer MS (NIB) for $45 plus shipping?

---

Dranzer MS isn't that competitive, and isn't worth $45 TBH.

and the plastic gen
http://s1048.photobucket.com/user/anmolg...d.jpg.html

The hms one belongs to Advanced Striker.

The blue one looks fake but it looks like voltaic ape ar.

Actually, I believe they're both fake. Take a better look at the Beywiki image of Advance Striker.

i saw the blue attack ring beyblade in a beyblade collection video on youtube but the guy didn't really go through his all the beyblades.

I've never seen that AR, but this is HMS not Plastics so take the discussion over there.
As for that HMS AR; it's definitely fake. All HMS ARs are symmetrical and balanced in one way or another. I've never seen a Fake HMS AR, so this is a pretty cool pickup you have.

The black AR is definitely fake, but the blue one looks like Magical Ape MS' Gyro Mode plastic AR.

This is what we all want, Brad.

Then that would mean it isn't a platic Beyblade, rather the Gyro Mode AR.

6 God is watching and I hope you're prepared to face him

Ugh; my bad. I thought it was a different AR from Plastic Gen.

Oh wait
I meant CWD. I have Circle Upper.

I'm assuming this was a question and your asking what CWD to use?


This combo is top tier:
AR: Samurai Upper, Circle Upper.
WD: CWD God Ring, CWD Defence Ring.
RC: Bearing Core 2.

EDIT: better late than never?

Pony King ? God, can't believe I typed this. I have to put my keyboard in the dishwasher now...

dude are you a gangster

LOL did you asked Midnight to take that pic?

When a monochrome picture is posted on WBO, it doesn't mean that it's always from Midnight.

I wouldn't trust someone with that many Cancer faces.

Well damn.

There's nothing else really to do or say except wait for the Superbowl, but I'm only here so I don't get fined.



Time. *gets up and leaves*

We won't have tournaments in the winter. Cause we are not one of those Canadian people where they just go outside like nothing happened to their hands.

i like my coffee like i like my men B)



i don't like coffee

I never have.

*Ginga*.. you're drunk bro... go home.. : )

Tbh SGMS & BDMS are kinda worthless.
MSUV is a far better spent investment; DGMF is even better IMO.

Um what? You're just saying that because you're a dragoon fanboy...

Why would I be suspended????

HMS summarised:




Anything not Tornado Type S:  Wolborg will leave you #rekt




Otherwise:  Go crazy with Ultimate Grip Flat 




For something less cookie-cutter:  Jiraiya sure is sexy

Is Wolborg 2 useless for competitive play?

Extremely useless. 
Now, if you come upon one I'll just PM you my address so you can throw it away. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I wasn't looking for Beyblade Underwear, I swear

How much do a Red Jiraiya MS usually go for? Becuase this is the first I've seen of one.

How about $300-$400.
It's always priced high. Rare and sought after.
GT's are more common.

AFAIK it goes around 80$

The best wheel in HMS with the corresponding parts, is NOT $80.
Just the AR is expensive as hell.

Yeah, but i gave a approx price based on what i had seen some months back IIRC

So it's come to my attention that Dragoon MS' RC has varied molds.
See, I just got my Hasbro Drg MS and the tip is actually a very bit WIDER then the original Takara Release. This make the Hasbro Version actually the 4th varying degree of Attack Rubber tips in HMS.
1. Grip Flat Core (Ultimate Version, Takara)
Insanely fast, barely Controllable. Great for uses in smash attack, however can SKO.
2. Grip Flat Core (Hasbro)
This tip is faster then the Takara mold, but is far more controllable then GF (UV) core, and I recommend it more in some cases.
3. Grip Flat Core (Takara)
Very moderate for attack, but not that fast. Hasbro overall.
4. Metal Weight Grip Flat Core
This core is good for heft; but it's an attack core so there's no reason to use it. Again; 1&2 overall.

Would you mind posting pics and measurements? It's not that I doubt your claims, seeing as HMS are the Beyblades I know the least about, but I'm just surprised no one has caught this earlier. Also comparative pictures would be useful for Beywiki.
