Thermal Giraffe 105HF
I know, I know. It sounds like a totally junk bey. From my tests, though, it shows some potential against Defense. Don't believe me? Check out the tests
Concept

Originally, I intended this to be a destabilizing counter for E230 based defenses. However, it turned into a staller that performed well against defense types.
Set Up

I used the Standard Type Beystadium (Red Floor, BB-46) (I do not own the BB-10 and this is legal in competitive tournaments, so I used it.)

Giraffe: This CW left Thermal's contact points mostly open.
Thermal: This MW has minor smash potential and some destabilization characteristics. It also has decent stamina.
105: I don't have access to a 100 or 90 and 85 scrapes too much for me.
HF: This attack oriented tip has decent stamina and does not self-KO in the BB-46 as often as XF does (though looking back on it, XF may have been a better way to go).

MSF-H Killerken Reviser E230CS vs Thermal Giraffe 105HF (Reviser launched first each time)
Reviser: 1 Win (1 KO, 0 OS's)
Giraffe: 19 Wins (0 KO's, 19 OS's)
Giraffe Win Percentage: 95%
In Depth Results:
Honestly, I was impressed by these results. After stalling, Giraffe would then push Reviser onto E230 and let him sleep out. The only time this didn't work was when Reviser got knocked off balance at the beginning of the match and attacked.

MSF-H Reviser Killerken GB145RF vs Thermal Giraffe 105HF (Alternating launches; Killerken launched first on odds, Giraffe on evens)
Killerken: 12 Wins (8 KO's, 4 OS's)
Giraffe: 8 Wins (3 KO's, 5 OS's)
Giraffe Win Percentage: 40%
In Depth Results:
These were some exciting battles. Giraffe would sometimes barely nudge Killerken out of the stadium when it KO'ed, but when Killerken KO'ed Giraffe- well, we'll just say it was amazing. Also, I noticed that (due to the sheer weight of Reviser Killerken), sometimes Killerken would force smash Giraffe. These are where Killerken's OS's came from.

Phantom Bull B:D (Bull is the only decent CW I have access to) vs Thermal Giraffe 105HF (Bull launched first)
Bull: 18 Wins (12 KO's, 6 OS's)
Giraffe: 2 Wins (2 KO's, 0Os's)
Giraffe Win Percentage: 10%
Ties Redone: 1
In Depth Results:
I bet you're all wondering how a B:D based Stamina type got so many KO's. Simple: The weight of Phantom vs the weight of Thermal provided that all recoil from Thermal's attacks was reflected back on it. Plus, Thermal Giraffe is so light already and has little traction. This resulted in it getting thrown out of the stadium. The two times Giraffe KO'ed Bull were due to upper smash picking Bull completely off of the stadium floor and Giraffe getting a wall save.

Overall
Spoiler (Click to View)
I think this bey could definitely use some improvements before it is competitive, but I do think that beys similar to this one hold the key to tearing down E230 defenses. It would probably also have better results in the BB-10 where the Tornado Ridge could keep it from KO'ing so easily against heavier beys.
