it's a step back in all directions.
New winders look carp and flimsy, the spin direction configuration system a devolution, new stadia look uninteresting, another major revision in parts means we have to suffer from a lack of customisation possibilities for a while, and we have to blow our money on a whole new set of parts.
They've not listened to criticism of HMS and to be honest, it's become very apparent that Takara just want to cash in on what's "cool" atm.
The gangster grafitti look is SO big bang.
All in all, very little reason to become interested in bey again, hell the beys look lighter than ever, and the designs are uninteresting and have horrid color schemes.
Even beyblade is dumbing down, and even the hobby is suffering from looney toonz syndrome.
Giving this generation a miss, again.
You can't judge the winders or stadiums as you've never used them before. Calling them carp based on 3D renders months before they are released is unfair.
And this is a revival of beyblade, it's been years since Takara has produced anything. To keep going with a previous system would make no sense from a business standpoint and also be really lame. They've exhausted pretty much all plastic and HMS possibilities.
Saying the look "lighter than ever" is unfair for the reason stated in paragraph one. And judging the overall look of the new series based on the first 5 bey is also unfair. That would be like judging the plastic series based on spin dragoon and spark knight.
I also think that removing the 2-way shooters will be better for the game overall. It only causes hassle before a match and can really lessen the usefulness of ARs that excel in one direction.
Plus the fact that the new series allows you to have any shaped tip at any height adds a huge layer of strategy that we've never experienced before.
