Killerken is definitely a competitive Defense wheel. I love it, and know a lot of people who do as well.
The reason it isn't on as the Bottom Chrome Wheel on E230 Defense is for the same reason Genbull Genbull isn't. The underside/lower edge is very vulnerable at such a high height, to the point where Revizer is definitely vastly superior. Obviously, with the presence of the disk combined with low height, BD145 defenders don't have this problem (hence the fact that both Genbull Genbull and Killerken Killerken are listed in the BD145 sections along with Revizer).
I actually do not know why Killerken Genbull BD145 isn't listed there, LOL. I think I'll add it. It's certainly a viable option...
E230 is so unmovable from my experience, CS is definitely viable. MSF-H Revizer Killerken E230RSF is probably my favorite E230 Defense variant, but CS works great on the same setup. I don't really know how you are getting those results, LOL! XD Seems a little odd...
Spin Velocity/Weight Distro/Launch Power/All That Jazz:
You stated something very important there.
th!nk Wrote:Keep in mind that's FORCE, not RPM
With wider weight distribution, you are moving the center of weight a farther distance each rotation. Therefore, completing a full rotation takes more force the wider your weight distribution is.
If two Beyblades have different weight distro, one will require more force to rotate than the other. If you apply the same force (your maximum) to each Beyblade, obviously, the one that requires more force to move will rotate slower. This means that the Beyblade with more compact weight will allow you to extend the string to its maximum length faster, therefore increasing its net RPM upon release.
15/3 = 5
15/5 = 3
If I apply 15 "units" of force to two objects that require force to rotate in the ratio of 3:5, the former will reach a higher RPM than the latter, because it requires less energy to move.
Regardless of where the weight is centered, there is still the same net amount of weight set on the Bottom at the end of the day. I don't get how wider weight distro makes something move faster... there should still be the same amount of friction between the stadium floor and the Bottom.
This, again, like I stated in the MSF-L Girago Dragooon SA165EWD thread, comes down to whether or not you consider the dominance of one variant of a custom to render the other variant(s) "uncompetitive." If we consider MSF-L Bahamdia Dragooon BD145RF to be "competitive," even if MSF-M Bahamdia Dragooon BD145LRF is better (just an analogy. I personally think it is, and I need an example, soooo...), then we should add it.
I
personally just find it a little too much worse to be particularly comfortable adding it. Just wanna have accurate info up there.
Guys, listen, we really just kinda need an update here, LOL. Adding something like Girago to Defense would take a LOT of testing from multiple members, and a lot of discussion as well. When I was testing Girago Anti-Attack, I did some initial Defense testing to check its recoil, and, while it was pretty acceptable, Revizer out-did it visibly.
KainHighwind told me some time ago that he thought Girago would find uses in Defensive Balance (IE MSF-L Girago Girago BD145RF), because of its low recoil. However, he didn't go right out and say "Defense." IDK if it's really that great, but testing would definitely be great.
