I can't see many XF combos popping up as a counter to this due to the rarity of the blade, ecspecially if a cheap alternative can be acquired by using CS or a destabilizer instead.

In Brisbane, Australia and wanna battle? Send me a PM and we can sort it out.

Though we have been getting much higher win percentages for Attack types recently before RS was released, 50% is still quite good for an Attack type versus a Defense type.

And I haven't done testing yet, but I can pretty much guarantee that destabilizers will obliterate RS due to it's poor balance and stamina.

To be honest, I think that 50% win rate for an attack type against a defence bey with RS is perfect. Obviously it's based on luck, but still... I can't really explain it.

Not only is this very good news for Defense, but it also makes me like Lightning L Drago even more, hah.

Another way to counter this would be attack combos with XF, something that needs tested.

Perhaps. But if many RF-based customs are having trouble KOing RS-based customs, what makes you think they'll have any better luck using something like XF? Using XF, WF or any other Flat Bottom would allow you to outspin the RS Beyblade, but in that case, why not just use a Stamina custom?

So you can beat stamina combos more consistently :V


and for the love of goodness can someone test Burn + CS for stamina/attack?

Apologies if this is the wrong thread, but regarding Libra... (Click to View)

as of right now, I still think that Libra should be reinstated. RS has some issues with low attackers - Libra and Earth can't really do much about that. RS customs can't be smashed out of the stadium, so, while Libra may increase a defence custom's win rate, smash beys against an RS custom would still have no point than if it were against MF Earth... RS.

Hey guys this is normal because defense types are supposed to have an advantage over attack types remember? just go in the battle with a stamina type and you're all set

You stop merely existing and start living only when you have passion.

That post made me cringe.
It's only something probably everyone's heard from me about a 1000 times already, and we know.
We think RS is a good thing, no one thinks it's bad.

P.S. RS is with Grand Ketos right? does anyone know the odds of getting it in the booster?

The odds of getting RS in the booster are 2/7
as it comes with
Grand Ketos WD145 RS
and Grand Ketos T125 RS

Its not that Attack style bladers are going to struggle. Hypothetically, if RS becomes part of a Tier 1 Defense custom, Attack style bladers will simply have to find a Bottom with more Stamina than that of RS or RF. Meaning several options open up including the following: F, XF, WF, and even HF.

Sure, switching to a non-rubber bottom means you are sacrificing attack, but in a match up against RS, it is more than likely going to be worth it.

Technically, the best of 2 polar opposites shouldn't be able to have an advantage over each other, and just using a stamina type would defeat the point of both even having attack types and using something with RS.

/ attack types eventually just becoming destabilisers/stamina beys.

No?

Imo, before RS came out, you should always have chosen an attack type. Now that RS has been released, it's really up to you.

Guys, do I need to remind you again that MF Lightning L Drago 100R2F is still pretty good against RS? Obviously the other options for Attack types may become more prevalent, but it's not as if RF/R2F will lose all competitive use.

Can this be tested against 90WF?

I'm such an idiot.

This. RS only really works well against RF. Use a F/WF/HF/XF and you will out-spin it pretty much every time. Contact doesn't even have to be made. Just hit the ridge, and watch as RS' stamina slowly deteriorates.
