Note: THIS IS HASBRO. Do not flame with TT comments.
Also, this was a school project. I had to make a How-To. This was the first thing I thought of.
Are you getting tired of card games? Most of those games out there: Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: The Gathering, they’ve just lost their touch. Then there’s Bakugan, but the only action in that is rolling magnetic balls… Well, if you agree with this statement, then do I have news for you! Beyblade! Beyblade is, in a nut shell, a series about spinning tops (OF DOOM!). It was a Japanese manga licensed under the name Bakuten Shuto Beiburedo in 2000. It was then adapted into an anime series and brought over to America. In early 2010, Beyblade was reborn! This article will tell you how to be an impressive noob (newbie)!
Step 1: Know your parts!
This is key to identifying beys. Knowing your parts is the most useful skill a Blader could have.
-Facebolt: This depicts your bey’s character that it represents. It is a plastic hexagonal screw that holds your bey together. Abbreviation: FB
-Clear Wheel: This also depicts your bey’s character. There isn’t much difference between clear wheels, but some are a tad bit heavier or balanced. Abbreviation: CW
-Metal Wheel: This is your attack mechanism. This is what will hit your opponent’s bey. It is important to choose a good metal wheel depending on your blading style. Abbreviation: MW
-Spintrack: This piece is most of your bey’s height and can sometimes have special abilities. (grabbing the opponent, knocking it farther away, helping with stamina, etc.) Abbreviation: ST
-Performance Tip: This piece decides your bey’s attack pattern. THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF A BEYBLADE. Abbreviation: PT
Now that you know the basics, let’s move on to the beys themselves.
Step 2: Get those beys!
The trick to Beyblade is choosing good beys. Getting carpy beys like Storm Capricorn or Poison Serpent, is… well, not a good idea. Here’s a list of American company: Hasbro released Beyblades I suggest:
-Ray Striker D125 CS (Useful parts: Ray MW, D125 ST, CS PT)
-Galaxy Pegasus W105 R2F (Useful parts: R2F PT)
-Earth Virgo GB145 S (Useful parts: Earth MW, GB145 ST)
-Storm Pegasus 105 RF (Useful parts: RF PT)
-Counter Leone 145 D (Useful parts: 145 ST, D PT)
-Earth Eagle 145 WD (Useful parts: 145 ST, WD PT)
-Midnight Bull 125 SF (Useful parts: Bull CW, 125 ST)
-Rock Scorpio T125 JB (Useful parts: Rock MW, JB PT)
-Storm Aquario 100 HF/S (Useful parts: Aquario CW, HF/S PT)
-Lightning L-Drago 100 HF (Useful parts: ALL OF IT)
-Special Edition DS Game Beys (Useful Parts: MF (Metal Face))
Step 3: Customization!
Now here comes the fun part. Customizing! Here are my combos at the moment:
-Midnight Eagle 145 CS (Attack)
-Earth Bull 145 JB (Defense, Top Tier)
-Ray Aquario 100 HF/S ( HF= Attack Mode, S= Stamina Mode)
That is my Team. Midnight Eagle is my favorite ☺. Earth Bull is Top Tier (aka AMAZINGLY GOOD.) Any defense-type Earth Bull combo is bound to be good. Notice the choice in clear wheels. I mentioned before that some were heavier, for heavy-hitting attack types and strong defense types. Bull and Aquario are heavy, and therefore have a small knockback radius. Eagle is light, therefore has a high knockback radius. But the CS PT has high control, so it is countered. DO NOT just copy my team. This is just an example of counteractive combos that end up being good.
Step 4: Battle Gear- Launchers!
Know your launcher or you might end up at a tournament with a standard light (ripcord) launcher! Hahaha… That’d be funny. Noob.
-String Launcher: A common replacement for the ripcord launcher. An easy to use launcher that uses a retracting string instead of a ripcord.
-Rev-Up Launcher: A slightly stronger string launcher, quite awkward to hold.
-Wind and Shoot Launcher: Possibly the worst launcher, I don’t have one, so… Only collectors really need this.
-Speed Counter Launcher: Counts launching speed. ‘Nuff said.
Step 5: Battle Gear- Misc!
These accessories are not launchers, but are useful to have.
-Launcher Grip: Stabalises launch. It has a nice feel to it… Can attach to light launchers, string launchers, and Rev-Up launchers.
-Bey Tournament Deck: Holds three Beyblades.
-Rapid Deploy Case: Holds one Beyblade. Press the button to open.
Step 6: Tournament Time!
You should start to Beyblade in tourneys, noob. Build up your reputation. This is one of the best parts of Beyblading!
Finally, We’re done. You’ve learned the parts of a bey, what Beyblades to buy, some good customization tips, and then battle gear. Hopefully you can get into a tourney now. GO KICK SOME ASSS, NOOB! And don’t forget: The Blader’s Spirit! This is what pushes Bladers to do better! How will you use this in life you ask?! There’s an official Beyblade World Wide Tournament coming up o find THE BEST Blader in the world. SO EXITING!!! Then there’s www.worldbeyblade.org, a fan made website that hosts tournaments, gives you tips (like me), and does any other Beyblade-related function you could think
