why hasn't Phoenix flare been announced though?

Because its a January release. We'll see it in the December Corocoro

They don't really control what's made. They're responsible for the manufacturing and the toyline, but I do not believe they control the anime and such.

Leave that to the studio that works on the manga and anime.

Simple, to balance out it's performance, ironically.

We don't want another WizardRod situation, TT literally had to ban it from their official tournaments because it broke meta.

I mean, I get the reasoning why, and under different circumstances I wouldn't care as much; but honestly most of their "balancing attempts" post-Rod have just felt like too little, too late.

You don't get to just release something that's leagues above the rest in power, then backpedal into nerfing a bunch of stuff that comes after. Could you imagine if after releasing Basalt Horogium they went "actually, let's dial it back" and the next year+ of releases were as light as Season 1 MFB?

Like, the cat's out of the bag, the genie's out of the bottle, the jig is up. You can't apply patch notes to a physical product, and if we don't care enough to ban things anymore, then why nerf anything? Might as well at least let us have fun with some more OP stuff.

You can say it's fun but you can put ANYTHING on WizardRod and it will be somewhat decent.
It's a cheap way to win, both in the literal sense and figurative sense. Why use any other blade? TT and the rest apply nerfs because they know it will be abused if it isn't nerfed. Otherwise we'd have an meta entirely dominated by WizardR- oh.

After all, these nerfs make for creative combos. Who would've thought TyrannoBeat would be in the meta, or WyvernHover? That's creativity.
 
You may see me as rude or condescending, but I only speak the truth. It's a "don't shoot the messenger" situation.

Can't you read?

Can you not be rude? It doesn't say in the product description,

Exactly. Dude, when I want to understand a product, I get every deet. Spin-steal is not listed anywhere, but equalization is implied ('cuz, y'know, left-spin)

Like someone else said, look at the blade's imbalance, made with the sole intention of not being abused for Spin-steal. This isn't the Burst series, Moon.

No, no, I agree with you. I've largely stopped playing because of inaction at both the local and WBO level regarding game balance issues that we as a fan-run organization have the power to address in order to keep the game enjoyable; choosing instead to further model our rules after what TT and Hasbro use, even when they're nonsensical and go against our own precedents.
What I was saying, is that TT saw fit to release Wizard Rod in the state it was in and then largely do nothing about it from a rules standpoint. So, what's the point of forcibly nerfing things? That's how power creep works, if you release something OP, but refuse to moderate it and instead nerf future releases, then it stands unopposed for extended periods of time. The preferable option would be moderating it, of course, but failing that the next reasonable course of action would be to set it as the new standard and have future releases be on the same level.

In other words, TT shouldn't bother nerfing future releases if they aren't going to do anything to moderate OP things they have already released. We shouldn't have had to wait nearly a year and a half for things to start approaching a level that could contend with Rod.


(Also, just a minor thing, but I don't understand the point you were trying to make with Tyranno Beat and Hover Wyvern. Neither were nerfed in any way as far as I know, and Tyranno Beat being meta wasn't surprising. It was about as heavy as Phoenix Wing (~37-38g) and was one of the heaviest blades at the time upon release.)

I wonder why TT stopped releasing things before Xmas? Before the pandemic when Sparking was around products were released in the 1st week of Dec so the Americans could get the products before Xmas.

They surprised me at least, as I didn't expect it. I often just looked at my collection, saw TBeat and went
Jokes aside, the West would have a big advantage if Hover Wyvern wasn't released in Japan by TT. I feel like the US and Canada are often ridiculed in Beyblade because of how Hasbro marketed their products and pinched so many pennies in the Burst gen. RIP

I look at this and still think of longinous but that's just because of the white and purple and I feel like it would have large upper attacks

yes i am a licensed beycrafter 

Here is the Showcase video of this Left UX (Unique Line) Bey, Meteor Dragoon 3-70J (Jolt):

I would probably get mummy curse instead. 7-55 will definitely be interesting

I would probably get mummy curse instead. 7-55 will definitely be interesting

Interestingly bad. We have 7-60 and 7-70. Its not viable to be 5 to 15 mm shorter, and have terrible burst resistance.

Edit: Also not to be rude, but out of all the parts you get with MummyCurse, 7-55 is what you're interested in?

Legally? It's questionable. Morally, it's disgusting..... Personally? I like it.

(I am on a hiatus, so I will NOT answer PM's or reply back in threads)

GhostCircle Is My BabyGirl

Interested in wedge as well and blade

7-55 has an unusual shape that appears significantly bulkier than other Xty-five heights and is runnable on Clock Mirage. Will giving that bey a 55 height ratchet without the burst-prone shape of 4-55 chsnge the meta? That's the interest here.

Good point but the burst risk is too high to justify using

We don't actually know that until the part releases.

So what is it's UX gimmick? Spin steal?

The gimmick is it's rubber, similar to Impact Drake

Either this will be monstrously overpowered, or the asymmetry will obliterate it's stamina.

It's kind of both tbh
