"This Attack Ring is pretty balanced. It works similar to Driger S Attack Ring, but is outclassed by it. The AR is heavier and larger than Driger S AR so doesn't do as well in endurance/defense/compact combos as the Driger S AR. The AR also has some smash in right spin. Worth noting is that the beyblade does fairly well as a balance type similar to 10bBistool, though it also doesn't do as good of job at that as 10bBistool does. In conclusion, this AR is good in endurance, defense, and compact combos but is outclassed by other attack rings.

10 Balance WD

MG Core Spin Gear

SG Semi-Flat Blade Base"

I'm not sure about the bolded part =/(It may just be a crappy compact combo instead of a balance like 10bBistool, I'm not sure) I don't know where to put it either. C&C please. I'll be editing this without the abbreviations and stuff, I just want to know if I'm at all correct on this or not. I will also probably have to edit it with less comparisons then I have now so people don't have to look up other beyblades just to see what this one does.
This doesn't sound professional enough IMO. It reads like a message board post, not an encyclopedia entry.
Yeah, not to mention i'm 90% sure it came with 10 heavy. I think it comes with MG North ? Right spin gear, and you are correct about SG Flat.


Here is how I would have revised your entry:
Attack Ring: Panther Claw

This attack ring is pretty balanced, it shares the same overall shape with Tiger Defenser (Driger S), and often can be used as a substitute for Tiger Defenser. However, due to it's slightly larger shape and heavier weight, it's usage as a endurance attack ring is outclassed by Tiger Defenser. With the larger shape, it is more suspectable to attacks. However, one place that Panther Claw outclasses Tiger Defenser is in attack. The spikes on Panther Claw has a stronger smash attack property, and the more defined upper attack slope gives it better upper attack than Tiger Defenser. Use this attack ring if it is necessary to have a more aggressive AR than Tiger Defenser on your beyblade. Overall, this is an attack ring worthy of being compared to Tiger Defenser, as it has very similar properties, is a very balanced attack ring, and can be used as a replacement when necessary.

Use in attack combination:

Using Panther Claw, there is a way to maximize it's greater attack ability over Tiger Defenser.

* AR: Panther Claw (Flash Leopard)
* WD: Ten Wide
* SG: Right SG
* BB: SG Metal Flat 2 (Gaia Dragoon V)

The smash ability of Panther Claw is fully used with this light yet fast moving beyblade. The ability for Panther Claw, which nearly aligns with the notches of 10 wide, to deliver an attack from both the attack ring and weight disk create a very strong smash attack.

(ok I have very little idea of what I'm doing after this)

Use in compact combination

* AR: Panther Claw (Flash Leopard)
* WD: Ten Heavy
* SG: Neo SG Right
* SG Core: Heavy Metal Core (Metal Driger)
* BB: Metal Change Base

While this is not the idea compact combination that can be used, this combination is a result of the attributes that make Panther Claw special, which is that it is a very aggressive attack ring for a balanced attack ring. This combination stays true to the ideals of compact with centralized weight and high spin velocity, with the ability to switch to attack mode with metal change base and an aggressive launch.


Have at it. =/
More can be added about the AR's attack I think.

But compact combo? I'm not sure if that needs to be suggested for it.
I really don't remember what good combo's were used with Flash Leopard's AR, the smash attack one is the only one that comes to mind, and I'm not sure if we want to do 10B here.

What else should be added about Panther Claw's attack?
Yes, I know its not very professional sounding right now, I wrote it up in about 3-5 minutes just so I could ask you guys if it was correct or not. Also Flash leopard did come with 10b(atleast I'm pretty dang sure it did) and I'll have to check mine later to see if had north or south(unless it doesn't need to be mentioned) and it comes with SG Semi-Flat, no? I'll be revising it later when I get on my desktop(yay!!! for my new laptop).
EDIT: BTW, FFX's rewrite is pretty good, maybe we we should just use that?
I think Flash Leopard's AR could be used in compact combos, though, its a little larger its heavier and balanced (this is why I said that a combo like 10bBistool may be more appropriate to compare it to).
According to the wiki it goes like this. Uncertain

AR: Panther Claw
WD: 10-Heavy
(Hasbro) SG: Neo Right SG (North Core Version)
(Takara) SG: Neo Right SG (Metal Weight Version)
BB: SG Semi-Flat Base
The way I view Panther Claw is that it can be used in a situation that you would use Tiger Defenser, but need a bit more attack. Maybe against a survival combo using Tiger Defense, one way to face it would be a similar custom with Panther Claw instead.

Yeah, that is what I've seen, too. Hmmmm, your right that it comes with 10 Heavy (I'll edit that as well), I wonder if I lost the WD a long time ago, then, cuz I've had mine with 10b for like 5 years.
EDIT: If its okay, I'll be adding a slightly edited version of what FFX wrote, I think it says everything that needs to be said and does it much better than I could have written it, I'm not that great at writing.
EDIT 2: Just realized that I'm not approved, can I be?

Really? I always thought that Tiger Defenser beats Panther claw straight up because the attack power does not offense Defenser's defense and endurance. The dropoff is quite noticeable.
I revised like half of Flash's AR write:

Panther Claw is an AR that is similarly balanced compared to Tiger Defenser due to its relative shape to it. However, because of its longer projection points and heavier weight, its usage in survival type customizations is easily outclassed by Tiger Defenser. One advantage that Panther Claw outclasses Tiger Defenser in is attack. In addition to it's smash attack, the projection points are slightly curved which may allow some minor upper attack. Use this attack ring if it is necessary to have a more aggressive AR than Tiger Defenser on your Beyblade. Overall, this is an attack ring worthy of being compared to Tiger Defenser, as it has very similar properties, is a very balanced attack ring, and can be used as a replacement when necessary.

I only did half because it seemed more of just a comparison to Tiger Defense (no offense or anything). I know it's highly comparable, but is it ok for it to be main focus or should it be more... general?

This was one of my questions as well, I would think it would be okay enough, though. I don't think I can add these to the wiki yet anyways, I haven't been approved (I think).
I love the way you revised it G. It flows much better and sounds a lot better and isn't so Tiger Defenser focused (I made it this way because Tiger Defenser is such a good part though),
So, does anyone want to add anything else? Or can I revise this and ask to put it onto the wiki now?

Use in compact combination

* AR: Panther Claw (Flash Leopard)
* WD: Ten Heavy
* SG: Neo SG Right
* SG Core: Heavy Metal Core (Metal Driger)
* BB: Metal Change Base

While this is not the ideal compact combination that can be used, this combination is a result of the attributes that make Panther Claw special, which is that it is a very aggressive attack ring for a balanced attack ring. This combination stays true to the ideals of compact with centralized weight and high spin velocity, with the ability to switch to attack mode with metal change base and an aggressive launch.

Conclusion

Flash Leopard is outclassed by Beyblades such as Driger S, but can still be used in compact combinations when Tiger Defenser isn’t an option."
It looks pretty gd I guess but just ask The Higher Ups People more experienced than me... 2 be on the safe side Cuz that's ur best option.
the attack combo listed is slightly more viable than the compact combo IMO.
Really? I don't think that Flash Leopard has enough smash attack for it to be used well in a pure smash attack combination like that, maybe if I changed only the base to Driger s? I s'pose I could it back on there the way it is, though.
Does anyone else agree with FFX? I'm just curious.(sorry for double posting =/ ).
I don't, tbh. Confused
Okay, I thought the combo was a little out there. Anyways, is this ready to be added then?

maybe? i don't remember

i think the compact variant is more viable though, not that they can't both be in the article
You want both in it then? I don't think it should be in the article, TBH. I don't see it being very viable, but if you've posted it before, it could be better than I'm thinking it is.
i make mistakes too haha

i'll try it sometime soon
