and part of zero g. He's also funny.another thing is if he loses ge gets back and beast out on you
You know that Takao was a main character for three seasons as well?
I'm actually undecided who I like the best but Zero probably isn't one of them, I might say Takao for now but V-Force Takao does put me off.
Nah, just because 2002 was a steaming pile of carp doesn't mean his character was THAT bad.
They still had some personality unlike Gingerka Banana man~

Even though I can't stand his voice, he teaches a good lesson and has heck of a better back story. Also the plot in MFB is outstanding and a lot of time had to be put into it. I don't like the zero g series cause the story line is cliche and the battles are weak. No breaking of the stadium or flying as high as you can to do a real special move. Plus they all end the same and are predictable. Tyson was a cool character though, but the animation was sloppy and the story line wasn't that good. Plus he didn't have a huge bond with dragoon.
Zero-G's plot was cliche? Oh my. MFB might not have been cliche, but it basically became a parasite of the original series, and it didn't follow the "main character has to overcome challenges" plot, it did something worse. Ginga literally had close to zero obstacles. His dad probably saw that and was like "aw heck, this plot is so bad, I need to do something!" So he broke Ginga's beypointer, and he still had very little trouble getting his points back. Also, the lesson he teaches is "it doesn't matter if you're battling with a rock, if you believe, you'll win!" Which is basically Hasbro saying "buy our awful beyblades, because as long as you believe, they'll be worth your money!" And Tyson's growing bond with Dragoon played quite a role in the original series. Also, it's interesting that you say the original story line wasn't very good when MFB took huge parts of the story line from the original and made them, in my opinion, worse.
Rant over.
Oh yeah, about that bond.
Tyson treated Dragoon as a pawn of his (When he first got him as a child) for a while, and wouldn't listen. When did Pegasus ever attempt to not help Gingka? Dragoon made Tyson lose some number of battles, if I remember correctly.

You should rip off your ear and sew it to your heart, cuz I'd say it right.
He's OP so the writers can take a break and write one cliche "beats once or twice" character. That's Ryuga.
Believe me, I don't hate every character of MFB.
Kenta starts as an annoying little enthralled "apprentice", but does develop eventually and shows the very few traits to Ryuga as an actual character. The only other useful character I found in MFB was that one African dude in Team Wild Fang.
That's about it.
Eh... he kinda was in MY opinion, at least Gingka was more likable than 2002 Takao, I'm not saying his character as a whole is bad I mean I love both his 2000 and G Revolution version but there's no denying that his 2002 one is pretty weak.
Gingka does have less personality, but that doesn't mean he has none, he is determined and calm most of the time, he really acts more like a teacher to Kenta or someone people want to be guided by, not every main character has to be that extremely cliche hot head protagonist... Then again they made up for it by having the cliche oh so dumb dumb fat guy, Benkei, ugh... I agree his personality is very lacking but I'm really just comparing it to Takao, Gingka can be boring but I personally don't think that makes him all terrible, he's still goofy err sometimes, and he is great when he helps out others.
EDIT: However, I won't deny that the old series as a whole did have way better characters as a whole than Metal Fight Beyblade, that includes Ming Ming, OH THATS RIGHT I SAID IT, I actually really like Ming Ming, she had some weird charm of being a pop singer Beyblader you really wanted to beat, that and the fact she's cute. I liked Moses too, he was kind hearted, more so than Gingka and he is so determined to help his sister get better. Apart from a few exceptions like Hiromi, ugh... That old gen cast was amazing and I remembered everyone well, except maybe Yusuf.
The characters in MFB I really do remember and liked is Nile, he's really bada** and has use, Tithi, some may find him annoying but he was the only one in the Legend Bladers with a memorable personality and he's pretty interesting in concept, as his personality changes a lot when battling in different modes, I think? Ryuga is overrated so I'm not adding him, I liked King because he was again interesting as a legend Blader while most of them were boring and quiet without any reason for it.
There's Kenta too as he had a nice development in 4D and his personality can be likeable, I didn't find him that annoying. I have more but these are the bigger examples I can give for my opinion. To say I
hate every MFB character, that is really stretching it, I don't hate them as a whole and I do like some, others are just forgettable and many are cliche, a few that I do hate, I grew to disliking Hikaru, she's so boring and near useless.
I think Sora should have been the main character of MFB, he's certain way better.

No I don't plan on doing more yet.
I should probably go back to making fan custom Zero G beyblade concepts again
