It isn't by merit of the string, however. The gear ratios of MFB/Zero G ripcord launchers are appalling. Plastics and HMS Launchers are roughly as strong as a string launcher, and plastics has a few more powerful launchers (though they are generally prone to skipping as a result).

True. If you are battling with spin stealer. Now if you will excuse, I am going to steal your combo. Merherher. >:D
My (Sonokong)Zero G ripcord doesn't even work properly anymore. Like a day after I got it, one of the ridges on the ripcord got stripped, so now it launches weaker. That's the same thing my Beywheelz launchers did.
With your Beywheelz launcher, it's possible that the little white tab that holds the gear in place has broken, making your launcher skip. I've dissassembled a few of mine, one that was working properly, and one that wasn't. If you don't have a good tab, or if it's broken, it won't work.

Meteo L-Drago CH120 WD is both mainstream and too lightweight and KOable for the current meta. Try L-Drago Destructor (NOT destroy) BD145 EWD.

That is not better than Meteo L Drago CH120EWD at all ...
Considering this is a random discussion does anyone know anymore about that Gameboy Color Beyblade Game from 1999? The one with Tyson, Kai and Hiro but with a bunch of different characters who never made it into the Manga or Anime?

This is about actual Beyblades; there are threads for the old games in the Video Games forum, I believe.

From my informal testing, it seems to resist attack types increadibly well due to the low center of gravity and ease of scraping preventing KOs while the rubber in left spin helps it regain the spin this costs it.
It probably doesn't win the matchups most spin stealers are meant for though.
Exactly. A Spin Stealer usually goes against a Stamina or Defense type. Of course it would probably get obliterated by Attack types.
It is debatably better but, objectively, no comparison can be made I guess since they simply do not do the same thing.
This is a little late because my computer wouldn't work last night, but I only recently got a string launcher a month ago AFTER Chaos Rising 2.0 up in Richmond, VA. And I placed 2nd... 1st in Beat the Summer Heat 1.0 in VA Beach... and 4th (Out of 26) at the Solstice Scimitar in Silver Springs, Maryland... You might just have to have a bionic arm, but I still use em every once in awhile
Since this is the random thought forum, are there any illegal beys?
And on another note, I tried lauching as hard as i could, and my bey made a dent in my wall...

All questions related to the Beyblade hobby are to be asked in the "Ask a Question, Get an Answer #2" thread.

I see... So, should I use a heavy combo against attack combos? For instance Metal Face Basalt Bull BD145RSF? (My current heavy.)

I think Infinity Libra has "forbidden" combos, due to weight. However, that was a while ago.
other note: Really? I haven't experienced that before! did u use ur specal mov? satr balst atack.
(I'm merely joking with that. Don't hate me Jaggy boy. ;D)
It seems that either of BBG-24 or BBG-25 Synchrom Set will have Gryph Zillago WA130HF and Orojya Wyvang 145EDS. This is not really new, but it confirms that they are indeed upcoming Beyblades, and it tells us that they will have no new parts except their unique Chrome Wheel.
I really cannot fathom WA130 in Zero G.
But thanks for the confirmation.
I wonder what the Zillago and Wyvang Chrome Wheels will look like

That is what our upcoming Face Contests will determine, unless they are already shown in the latets CoroCoro, which would be quite early ...
Hmm...Does anyone know what elements they are or is there no element since there is no crystal wheel?

There's nothing special about it, really.

They have element, including "dark"
Aha, neat! I just noticed that someone could get both Synchrom sets to have matching Track/Tip setups! Ex. Green GCF in ATK/BAL, Green E230 in STM/DEF.
All the released Chrome Wheels. The crossed out ones are the ones one would get if they bought both DX Sets.

Saramanda
Orojya
Phoenic
Revizer
Killerken
Gryph
Dragoon

[name of Chrome in both DX Sets]
I am a very happy part collector right now.
