Thank you! Glad to hear your impressions were the same; means there's some truth that emerged from the hours of work we put in to put this thread together haha.

Well, yes. That's what the data says, so that's what happened. With TAKARA-TOMY launchers, mind you. Hasbro probably didn't design their slope mechanism with TT launchers in mind since they haven't released anything nearly as strong (yet, at least; they did release the most powerful launcher of the previous generation–the Rev-up Launcher–so anything's possible).
It's important to note that though they do burst more often on the high level view we were taking when compiling those statistics, that won't necessarily translate to actual competitive play because you might not run in to match-ups where bursting is as frequent as it was in our compiled statistics. Those statistics just give you a sort of abstract overview.

Certain combos are essentially arbitrarily removed from our options pool this way.
To me, the differences are what makes all of this so exciting! As for Accel specifically, you can at least substitute it for Hasbro Zephyr which is faster than Hasbro Accel.

May i ask about the spinning performance of the hasbro beyblades? I mean the raw spinning duration.
Haha, it was more interesting than anything. It was like testing brand new parts. The most painful set of tests was Storm Spriggan (TT) vs Nepstrius (Hasbro) though ... 7 DBFs and another draw to get 10 rounds done lol.

Yeah, exactly! There's definitely some Hasbro parts which are bad/got nerfed due to mold changes (Nepstrius, Odax), but there's also parts which are just as good or better than their TT counterparts (Valtryek, Storm Spryzen, etc).
