So after further testing..... Yeah this stadium is unbalanced
This was originally the video description but my video was like 1.5 gb and 10min long and youtube sent error messages saying it couldn't be uploaded.
A test to see how a top tier Attack combo plays against a defensive/stamina Earth combo. This stadium is not suited for Attack types... LL Drago CH120RF has trouble attacking because it moves around too much. The stadium's "vortex ridge" isn't good at all compared to a TT stadium where it actually comes into play. Here, it makes it worse for attack blades because when they lose spin, they get trapped and circle to their death. Here the results :
Earth Cancer 145WD: 15 wins (14 outspins 1 KO)
LL Drago CH120RF (145 mode): 5 wins (5 KO's)
After these grim results, I tried CH120 in 120 mode. After Earth Cancer won by outspin 5 times to LL Drago's mere 2 KO's, it was clear. This stadium is unbalanced and Attack types can't win (or have trouble winning, thats for sure...) and are completely useless. RF combos simply cannot win after they lose speed and circle in this stadium because the space between the "bowl" and the pit is too far and when they do attack, the beyblade ramps up to the edge of the pit, and then back down. Its too steep for late game attacking beys to do anything and lose by outspin every time.
I finally see why the "Attack" stadium by TT is the best. Its the only stadium where all beyblades can battle fair and square, each utilizing every aspect of their gimmick (attack types take advantage of the GREAT tornado ridge, stamina and defense types stay in the center like any other stadium). It makes perfect sense now that these results came about. Hopefully I'll get some kind of video uploaded and working to show you guys what I mean.
But if you want a good and balanced stadium, this isn't it. I think saving up for a TT stadium is your best bet because Defense and Stamina Types own the Hasbro stadium metagame (if there is one lol).
EDIT: And I forgot to mention, the lack of a 3rd pit in the stadium contributes to horrible results. I loved the old stadiums because they had 3 pits, so there were multiple angles where a beyblade can be struck into them. With only 2, theres very, very limited approaches to knock a bey into the pit.
My Hasbro Cyber Dragoon Stadium is more balanced then this because it has a 3rd pit.... I'll test with results from that too and I'll try to get some videos up pronto this weekend.
EDIT 2: Also forgot to mention, I am using a modified catapult grip that fits a MFB launcher on it with my Red Long Rip cord from Dragoon. LL Drago was launched from the Takara Beylauncher L at around 80 - 100% power and was shot on the banking and not directly at Earth Cancer 145WD.
Old School blader learning new school blading :D
