Hello, I was messing around earlier today when my Flame Aquario W105 F KO'd my Basalt Horogium E230 WD. This intrigued me as Flame is generally regarded as bad. So I decided to test this by pitting Flame against some of my BeyBlades.
Gear: Ripcord Launcher (Hasbro) , Pegasus Thunder Whip Stadium (Hasbro)
Beys:Flame Aquario W105 F, Basalt Leone 145 WD, Cosmic Pegasus (Hasbro) 100 WF, MSF Orojya Saramanda LW 160 SD.
Tests:
Flame Aquario W105 F vs Basalt Leone 145WD
Results: (Basalt spun first each round.)
Flame Aquario: 9 wins (9 OS',win rate: 45%)
Basalt Leone: 11 wins (9 OS',2 KO's,win rate: 55%)
Unsuprisingly, Basalt won. But what I found interesting, was that the battles were fairly close. Basalt only beating Flame by 10%. Another odd finding, was that Flame nearly KO'd Basalt several times.
Flame Aquario W105 F vs Cosmic Pegasus 100 WF
Results
First launches were alternated)
Flame Aquario: 15 wins (15 OS',win rate: 75%)
Cosmic Pegasus:5 wins (1 OS,4 KO's,win rate: 25%)
Flame is suprisingly good at absorbing attacks. Cosmic slammed into Flame several times, only for Flame to stonewall it. On one occasion, Cosmic Threw Flame into the air, only to have Flame land on him. Flame managed to knock Cosmic into a penalty pocket, but Cosmic flew out moments later.
Flame Aquario W105 F vs Orojya Saramanda LW160 SD
Results: ( Orojya launched first each round)
Flame Aquario: 0 wins
Orojya Saramanda: 10 wins (9 OS',1 KO, win rate: 100%)
I stopped halfway as the winner was obvious, also, Orojya began to break my Aquario energy ring.
Conclusion: While Flame is heavily outclassed in the metagame, it is not neccesarally a "horrible" wheel.
It's true power is the fact that it can absorb attack decently, and counter with decent smash.
The results may vary from person to person, and combo to combo.
