(MSF-M) Bahamdia Dragooon BD145LRF/R2F
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Hey guys! Welcome to my 13th testing thread!
Just to let you know, now that the school year is underway and I'm buried under mounds of work, any testing threads I write will likely not be as elaborate as my previous ones. I might include a video once in a while, but they're mostly just gonna be an explanation and a 5-10 sets of results.
Anyway, hope you guys like this combo!
The concept:
Spoiler (Click to View)
The concept of this custom is quite simple. This is an all-out push-attacker. This left-spin Attack type is built to use its opposite rotation to "shove" right-spin opponents out of the stadium. It can incorporate a very high level of smash as well, but the primary function is "push-attack."
This custom, contrary to what you're probably thinking, is not very heavy at all. The total weight comes out to about 72.15 grams, which is only average for a synchrom attacker. However, due to its low center of gravity, high traction/speed, and low recoil, this custom will win against most other Attack types relatively consistently.
There is one thing about this custom that you probably wouldn't suspect... its spin-stealing abilities are quite pitiful. The limit to what this combo can out-spin via spin-equalization would be a Synchrom BD145CS Defense setup, which is not too impressive at all for a BD145 combo on R2F. Against tall/short combos, it may not even be able to steal spin at all. Spin-equalization can work well against certain low-Precession customizations, but its definitely only something to rely on as a last resort.
As I am very happy to say, this combo actually lacks some of the weaknesses of other conventional Synchrom Attack types. Unlike most customs, this combo dominates against Synchrom E230 defenders and Scythe 85 Defense, and, although it is still quite a tough opponent to take out, is impressively effective against Duo (for a Synchrom custom, of course... Flash still does a way better job). This custom will also STOMP on F230's grave. F230GCF/CF customs of any kind will bite the dust against this combo nearly every time. That said, there are very few competitive combos that this custom cannot KO if the user launches it correctly.
The launch:
Spoiler (Click to View)
This custom is very dependent on your launch technique. The launch here is identical to the launch used for Wyvang Dragooon SA165R2F, a wide-ish, sweeping pattern just off-center enough to to hit your opponent at a more sideways angle to shove your opponent out of the stadium, which can be done by banking at a slightly thinner angle than a normal sliding-shoot. Against Left-spin customs, just bank normally, as you aren't in the opposite spin-direction of your opponent.
Against F230 customs, tornado stall as FAST AS YOU CAN. You should be able to achieve a very high win rate.
Against Duo Defense, Deep-banking works well for me. I don't know why, but it works quite a bit better.
Parts choice:
Spoiler (Click to View)
(MSF-M):
Notice I put MSF-M in parentheses... that means it's optional. MSF-M is beneficial on this custom, as it reduces recoil, adds weight, and puts a little more force behind its attacks, but it's not enough of a change to call a normal face a vastly inferior option. MSF-M was the only Metal Stone Face variation that didn't hurt this custom more than it helped it. MSF-L wasn't very good at all. MSF-H was decent-ish (and what I was originally going with), but both slowed the combo down and limited its range of movement far too much for my taste. MSF-M was great because there was a slight recoil reduction, without virtually any reduction of speed. A normal Face works great as well.
Bahamdia:
Where do I start with Bahamdia... this thing is a MONSTER. This is the piece that makes this custom so great. Aside from the fact that it is the only Chrome Wheel that can extend beyond BD145's edge, while Balro and Wyvang work absolutely stunningly on Dragooon, Bahamdia Dragooon is in a league of its own. The thing is a powerhouse. Tossing things all over the stadium with ease, this is, from what I've seen, the most effective left-spin Attack Synchrom there is.
As a bonus, Bahamdia's dis-favorable inconsistencies on right-spin combos seems to be next to nonexistent in opposite-spin.
Dragooon: Left-spin. 'Nuff said. XD
BD145:
BD145 adds weight and lowers the center of gravity of the Beyblade. This can be favorable against other Attack customs, as it lowers recoil, and in this case provides a serious boost in raw power. While I found W145,TR145,R145, and SA165 quite effective on this custom, BD145 surpassed them all with flying colors against just about every custom I tested it against.
LRF/R2F:
Speed and traction. Left-spin customs require high speed to be effective at what they do. That said, RF is sickeningly defective on this combo. High speed and a wide movement pattern is absolutely essential for this kind of thing, both of which R2F and LRF provide. I did these tests with R2F, as it is readily available to me, but I have tried it with LRF briefly and it is just as, if not slightly more, effective on this combo. YOUR R2F/LRF MUST BE IN NEW TO PRIME CONDITION TO USE THIS CUSTOM. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THIS COMBO WITH A WORN BOTTOM.

NOTE: I was having a bit of a bad day with Attack types. I just couldn't do as well as I usually do, so just a heads up that the win rates are gonna be slightly lower than normal.

My Duo is EXTREMELY difficult to KO with anything Synchrom... I don't know what's wrong with the thing, but it's an unmovable boulder. I tried this test like 3 times, and I still couldn't get a KO. I have never seen a synchrom Attack type get higher than 10 percent against a Defense type using my Duo. It's creepy...

Now, this is great... my Duo is, as I said before, and unmovable boulder when it comes to taking on Synchrom combos. It's 5 times harder to KO than other people's Duo, for what reason I know not, but that said this is actually really, really great. This custom does far better against Duo than any other competitive Synchrom Attack type I've tried so far.
So yah... Pretty carping awesome!

This thing has extremely low recoil... Wyvang could get it onto the tornado ridge a couple times, but not far enough to land a KO. I launched Wyvang as hard and as fas as I possibly could right into the path of Dragooon, and I still couldn't land a KO. This combo works extremely well as an anti-attacker... perhaps even better than MSF-L Girago Girago BD145RF for me!
I'm super excited about these results.

The only reason I stopped the tests here is because Bahamdia landed a super clean hit and the Reviser custom exploded, tearing my last MSF-H into shreds and sending parts flying across the room. I still can't find the top of my MSF-Custom, haha!
I should say that these results could have been a lot better because my launch with left-spin attackers needs work. Despite that, it still pulled off pretty impressive numbers, and I'm very pleased with how it did overall. Like TBD said, this thing pushes the opposing custom out of the arena as oppose to Wyvang's skyrocketing OHKO, which takes some getting used to but is ultimately very effective.

Not bad! Not amazing, but not bad. The KOs I did get were very clean, and the OSes were primarily the result of some nice hits that threw Reviser off balance early. Again, I need work on my left-spin attack launch, but the numbers were still pretty good despite that. I'll do this test again once I'm used to the launch.
Thanks to Ingulit for his help! He did note that he's not quite used to the launch for this thing yet... that said, these numbers are pretty darn good! Just goes to show how much practice it can take. If I did my math right, then his results for Bahamdia Dragooon BD145LRF are about as close to MSF Wyvang Wyvang GB145R2F as my Wyvang Dragooon SA165R2F tests were (with about Bahamdia Dragooon ahead by about a 2% margin).

Overall, I really think this is a very effective Attack custom. The launch is quite difficult to get the hang of, but once you've got it down there's not much this combo can't KO. Post your thoughts!
Thanks for reading! Testing is strongly encouraged!
