The Left Dimension: A Whole New World?

I brought out some of my Beys out today and was toying around with them... I came across the idea of how non-symmetrical (right word for it?) ARs perform in the other direction. I've though of this previously, but I was always too lazy to fiddle with this since I hated to switch left spin gears for every Bey. I'm sure it's been thought of before and partially tested, but I'd probably like to dig deeper into it and find more about it. My guess is that this could possibly find use for some of those underused ARs and such.

Thought about this?

Seaborg's AR comes to mind.

I never found it useful in Left though.

"A Whole New World..." That reminds me of the song. I've got to find that now, lol.

It would be interesting to see if there are ARs that perform well in the opposite direction, especially underused ones as you mentioned.

non-symmetrical = asymmetrical?

Whale Crusher (Seaborg 2's AR) had some WICKED force-smash in left spin. It was ridiculously good at it.

I used to love using Whale Crusher in left spin on Dragoon F's blade base.

It was devastating. Unfortunately Whale Crusher also produces a lot of wind drag and whatever you place it on doesn't spin for very long. lol

I'm quite sure most unused parts are already known not to work well in left spin. A large majority of the faults of these parts are inherent such that they don't work well in either spin direction. At the moment, I can't think of any attack ring that only works well in one spin direction, and is not popular, although there are a lot that are pathetic in one direction and only slightly better in the other.

You know, there is an article that lists all the part names.

Seaborg's is Whale Attacker, Seaborg 2's is Whale Crusher.

One of my very first attempts at combo building was Whale Crusher with a 10 Heavy on a left spin, south core Dragoon Victory base (what was that called? South Grip or something?). It... was ok, didn't do phenomenal in a lot of situations, but if it got a hit in early, it typically won.
