That's disappointing. It's interesting how TAKARA-TOMY has thus far not been scared to match or exceed the "maximum" properties of the other Maximum Series Beyblades (Hell is no longer the widest Wheel, EDS is arguably just as good as EWD depending on the situation, TH170 is an infinitely more useful part than 230), yet they haven't really gone near Basalt's weight yet.
It's like the Libra problem all over again, except this time they're trying to correct it by releasing all of these ridiculously designed high recoil Wheels like Vari Ares and Blitz.
I know this post is quite old on the thread, but-
I totally agree with you, Kei. IMO, they simply lack another idea by which they could make a fusion wheel that is- Extremely heavy, but is not 'formidable'. They put Spiral Staircase in Basalt, but now they might have no idea of how to create a MW heavier than it(which can be defeated). Actually, weight is a quantity that affects the performance of beys quite a lot. Same goes for height. You see, for Max. Stamina, EDS is better as you said. For Upper, there is just nothing(even Screw doesn't have Upper attack). For Max. Width, Hell has been beaten, but IMO width doesn't really alter the performance of a bey by an unusually big margin... The performance of wide MWs and compact MWs doesn't differ much. Correct me if I am wrong...
For Max. Height and Max. Weight, 230 and Basalt have still remained at the top. I am not considering performance here, as this is all about height, and weight. I know TH170 is better than 230. But still, 230 is the highest track, while Basalt is the heaviest wheel. So, TT hasn't taken much pains to make something of a higher measurement; both in weight and height.
Back on topic of Jade-
Thanks for the updates, Kai-V! Well, I am disappointed by the weight, but quite happy with the parts. I expect Jade and RB to find good use.
