Bey Philosopher|Escolpio WD145B Article - BeyPhilosopher - Mar. 07, 2011
System: Metal Fight Beyblade
Type: Defense
Face: Escolpio
Weight: 1.1 grams
The Face on this Beyblade depicts Scorpio, the eighth astrological sign in the Zodiac.
Wheel: Escolpio
Weight: 31 grams
Escolpio's design consists of two sets multiple red-colored rectangles that end in a point to give the shape of a Scorpion's head, while also obtaining multiple red-colored squares in the center.
Escolpio is a completely circular wheel. Given the circular nature Escolpio does have, it may seem suited for defense and stamina, as most defensive and stamina wheels require a rounded shape, along with the fact the Escolpio has no contact points. However, Escolpio is not a very good choice for defense or stamina despite its required shape. This is so because of its hollowness and light weight. Weighing 31 grams, Escolpio is among the lightest wheels ever created. The light weight takes away its defensive ability, as it will get pushed around more easily than most other wheels. For stamina, it is very hollow, and its weight is not focused towards the outside the wheel, thus not increasing momentum and spin velocity. For Attack, there are no slopes, protrusions, spikes, or notches on Escolpio to supply any kind of attack.
Being useless in all areas of the meta-game since the day it was released, Escolpio is one of the worst wheels ever created.
Track: Wide Defense 145
Weight: 3.6 grams
WD145 features three “wingsâ€, hence its name. Being a predecessor to ED145, it of course, has a difference, with that difference being that its wings cannot spin freely. The defensive capabilities of this part are outclassed in all areas by other Defensive Tracks, such as C145, GB145, and 230, as it does not absorb hits as successfully. Furthermore, it is easy for the low attacker’s Wheel to be caught between the Wheel and WD145, causing a lot of recoil and spin reduction in the process. WD145 has not found use in Stamina, and its attack use is not a recommendable option.
Use in Attack Customization
MF Pegasis WD145RF can be used as a passable alternate to MF Pegasis 145RF, though it does not perform too great as to why it is not a very usable combo.
Bottom: Ball
Weight: 0.6 grams
Ball, as its name suggests, is shaped like a ball. This gives it little attack potential, and the hemispherical shape provides a decent area for the Bottom to make contact with the Stadium floor; hence increasing friction and making it more difficult to knockout. B’s shape also makes it likely to stay in the central areas of the Stadium, hence maximizing the customization’s distance from the Stadium exits. B was also chosen over D for stamina, as it didn't have the balance problems D had. Due to its qualities, this bottom makes a decent choice for Defense and Stamina Customizations. The reason why it is only decent however is because of is lower friction to the stadium floor compared to WB, thus making it easier to knockout than WB, and its stamina is not good as other bottoms such as SD and WD. Because of this, B should only be used if WB is not available. However, both have been outclassed by CS, RSF, and RS.
Overall
Escolpio WD145B consists of outclassed parts that don't serve any use in competitive play anymore, or that ever did serve use competitively. This beyblade should only be bought for collection purposes.

RE: Sequoia|Escolpio WD145B - Ultra - Mar. 07, 2011
Should state that Escolpio wheel is hollow which is why is weighs nothing and sucks. I don't think you should say that WD145 is similar to ED145 since it was made before ED145. And it has slight use in MF Pegasis WD145RF. Also the whole of the B section is wrong. B has way more use in Stamina than defence. Also about the conclusion. Pretty good but B used to be one of the best stamina bottoms so you shouldn't say none of it's parts ever had any competitive use.

In the overall I said competitive use anymore, thus going back to B. But anyway, thanks for the feedback, anything else?

Aren't B and WB also outclassed by CS?

Thank you! Is that all that needs to be corrected?

In The Ball Section, it should be a decent choice for defense and stamina, remove defense as it is very easier to KO.

It is a decent choice compared to WB. That's why I put it there.

If you BUMP a thread, You might get warned. Bumps are complete SPAM, other than the Marketplace, You might get a warning for that.
This is a great article though, Very close to Beywiki Quality, Overall section needs a bit of work, After that it'd be perfect.

Yes, if you have contacted Kei to ask him to read this, then stop "bumping". Stop doing it anyway whether you have contacted him or not ...
RE: Sequoia|Escolpio WD145B Article - Azlanslayer - Mar. 10, 2011
I think you should be more specific on Escolpio, its not the lightest wheel ever made..Meteo weights 28 grams, which is the lightest IIRC. Or do you mean its the lightest Pre-Hws beyblade?

Of course he might be speaking of pre- HWS wheel As most HWS wheels are lighter than pre-HWS ones as Pre-HWS contained the combined weight of both the clear wheel and metal wheel. As they were the same parts before... In HWS system, as the two became different parts, a little change in weight can be noticed...
RE: Bey Philosopher|Escolpio WD145B Article - BeyPhilosopher - Mar. 29, 2011
Ultrablader, I fixed the WD145 section, you know, about it being similar to ED145, so it doesn't seem as if ED145 came before WD145.
RE: Bey Philosopher|Escolpio WD145B Article - Poseidon - Mar. 29, 2011
ball still has fairly decent uses in stamina it was o tier at one point .
RE: Bey Philosopher|Escolpio WD145B Article - SajjanSV - Apr. 17, 2011
I think you should scrap the part about Pegasis WD145 RF, theres no point in even talking about it, were only going to put bad combos in peoples heads.
RE: Bey Philosopher|Escolpio WD145B Article - Ultra - Apr. 17, 2011
um yes there is... The whole point of beywiki is to note the uses of parts. You idea does exactly the opposite of that. It doesn't matter if the combo is outclassed it. It is still a use and also vs WB defence it would do very well.
RE: Bey Philosopher|Escolpio WD145B Article - SajjanSV - Apr. 18, 2011
Yes but WB isn't that outclassed, WD145 is, but if you really want to go down that route then wouldn't it be better in a defense combo with Basalt?
RE: Bey Philosopher|Escolpio WD145B Article - Kai-V - Feb. 16, 2012
I changed almost every sentence.

Escolpio's design consists of two big scorpion tails connected at each end. Their top is adorned with red rectangles to resemble the divisions on a scorpion's body. It is a very circular wheel. Given the circular nature Escolpio has, it may seem suited for Defense and Stamina, as most defensive and endurance Wheels require a rounded shape, along with the fact the Escolpio barely has contact points except the small crevices created by the lines dividing the sections of the tails. However, Escolpio is not a very good choice for Defense or Stamina despite its ideal shape. This is because the underside of this Wheel is completely hollow, like a bell. As such, it heavily lacks the weight necessary to perform well in both Defense and Stamina. Weighing 31 grams, Escolpio is among the lightest Wheels ever created. Even with a Metal Face, it simply does not maintain much of its spin velocity due to the light weight, and when hit, it easily loses the little balance it had, and it cannot counter. For Attack, there are no slopes, protrusions, spikes, or notches on Escolpio to supply any offense, however, the prototype of Escolpio had the stinger part of both tails highlighted on the sides of the Wheel, which could have at least provided some element of Attack. However, this element of the design ended up being filled in so that there is barely any relief left on the ends of the Wheel.
Being useless in all areas of the metagame since the day it was released, Escolpio is one of the worst Wheels ever created.
Track: Wide Defense 145
Weight: 3.6 grams
WD145 features three "wings" covering more than half of the circumference around the Track's core. These wings are fixed, so WD145 cannot truly absorb hits well, not to mention that an Attacker can easily get caught between the wings and the Wheel, causing notable recoil and imbalance. Furthermore, as the Beyblade wobbles during its precession, this Track will scrape the stadium floor and decrease the Beyblade's Stamina a lot. Being therefore useless for Stamina and Defense, the only use WD145 has found is in specific Attack combinations, however it's totally absent from the top-tier lists.
Use in Attack Customization
MF Pegasis WD145RF can be used as a passable alternate to MF Pegasis 145RF, though the latter is mostly an outdated combination now anyway.
Overall
Escolpio WD145B consists of outclassed parts that don't serve any use in competitive play anymore, or that never did serve use competitively. There is no reason to buy this Beyblade outside of collection purposes.

I think the first bit of the Escolpio paragraph is too wordy.
Escolpio's design consists of two big scorpion tails connected at each end. Their top is adorned with red rectangles to resemble the divisions on a scorpion's body. It is a very circular wheel. Given the circular nature Escolpio has, it may seem suited for Defense and Stamina, as most defensive and endurance Wheels require a rounded shape, along with the fact the Escolpio barely has contact points except the small crevices created by the lines dividing the sections of the tails. However, Escolpio is not a very good choice for Defense or Stamina despite its ideal shape. This is because the underside of this Wheel is completely hollow, like a bell. As such, it heavily lacks the weight necessary to perform well in both Defense and Stamina.
Here's my version:
Escolpio seems like an ideal choice for defense and stamina at first glance due to it's round shape. It has almost no contact points but the small crevices created by the lines dividing the sections of the tails. In reality, Escolpio performs very poorly in both aspects because of its light weight. Its underside is completely hollow, lowering its weight along with any potential defense and stamina abilities.
I think the main point to draw from the paragraph is that Escolpio could be a good defense/stamina wheel because of it's shape but its light weight ruins it. I tried to get more to the point.

Your description often does not make grammatical sense, and it does not leave enough doubt that you are going to completely refute its potential in future sentences.
