Would like your thoughts

Type: Upper Attack
Wheel: Virgo
Track: 100
Bottom: RF

Type: Defence
Wheel: Libra
Track: WD145
Bottom: WB

I saw the second mentioned in another thread but nobody really responded. Let me know. I have every part that has come out excluding the RBV blades and Quetz, however, I do have a 090 track.
Well for the first one, I never thought Virgo was that effective for Upper Attack. I'll have to try it to see once my RF comes in. Upper Attack is a fairly underdeveloped attack style for MFB right now.

The second one looks like a solid defense staple. I presume it holds up quite well against RF. There is always D125, but I have a feeling that this should hold it's own just fine in most situations.
Virgo, even with 100 track will have a hard time doing upper attack... The wheel itself is almost 90% circular, and the slopes were too spread along the half of the diameter. only 50-60% of the higher portion of the wheel has the possibility of delivering upper attacks. Which is not optimal. also the outer edges of the slopes aren't even shaped for attack, more like it is sloped for defensive.

All observed from how severe the metallic paint chipping my Virgo had, the lesser the scratch or even none, means it rarely gets into contact.

But you can always try that with 90 track Tongue_out haven't tried those!
I can see it working better with a D bottom, Upper Attack does not need movement like Smash does.
So lets assume that I'm going to scrap the upper attack for a smash. How does this one sound:

Type: Smash
Clear Wheel: Leone
Metal Wheel: Rock
Track: 090
Bottom: RF

Beyuk espio what did you get the track 90 with.I mean what did you get it with btw if you didn't understand.
Nah, Rock is no good for smash!
Try Leone100RF
or
Dark Pegasis 100RF
(I like the colours)

I got it from my Gemios Booster I think. Not sure whether the lucky random piece still exists in the new HWS boosters. But you got 1 of 3 pieces of the Quetz blade in the old boosters.
The defensive staple and the smash blade mentioned seem to act quite well. The Defensive fair well against the RF bottom I'm using. The Smash blade gets the occasional KO but nothing exceptional. Will need to try it against some other customizations.
I would think that Leone90RF would be too low to be effective. My Leone105F spins out out all the time. I would do something more like Gemios100(or 105 even)RF. Either way, Gemios and Aquarrio should do better than Leone.
As for that original upper combo, the only Wheel that comes close to being able to do upper was Aries, and it doesn't do it very well, since it is still too light.
Eh!? Leone is one of the best Smash wheels we have!

I thinking about Gemios earlier but only half of the hammer is exposed on the wheel. I didn't think it would have much effect. Never thought about Aquario though. Will change the track anc test tomorrow.
It's got rather high recoil compared to the others, though. He even said that the smash attacker didn't work very well. I've tried it out numerous times as well, and it isn't as effective as just stock Pegasis.
EDIT: I'm not sure if anyone actually said Gemios was that good, I'm just saying that from looking at pics of the wheel. Feel free to try it out, though.
bull has good upper attack. so try a bull combo for upper attack
Ahahaha, as much as I love it, Bull sucks. XD
Yeah, Bull's upper doesn't really work.

around 1:13 you can see how bull performs upper attack. (if that was called an upper attack, am still a noob u know!)
Sorry, seems youtube has decided to break on me again. I wish it'd make it's mind up. ^^;
no problem rocky.
can anyone check the video for me plz?
No, that's just recoil. I don't see any lifting happening, the beyblades are the same height as well.
no. blue one 105 red is 125.

Edit: can someone show me a video with a real upper attack. i have never seen one!
Welp, it looks like that didn't help at all, though. I know there's no real upper attack working, though. It's all just recoil.
Gemios has TOO much recoil and doesn't work well as a smasher. Aquario is just as bad in my opinion. I'm testing everything against the staple defencer I have decided on. Tried these parts for Stamina:

Clear wheel: Leone
Metal Wheel: Rock
Track: D125
Bottom: BS
Ummm, Virgo?
Also, damn. >.> Did neither work as good as Leone's wheel? I thought Aquarrio was pretty good, I've seen it used before, I think. If all those wheelssuck, just use Pegasis or Storm Pegasis wheels.
