A heavy weight is powerful for Attack and Defense, but you need a solid outwards weight distribution to really be good for Stamina.

From my testing, it seems it performs very similarly to the 0 disk. I haven’t tried a mirror match of 00 against 0, but I suspect 00 will have a tad better stamina than 0.

It appears to have inferior weight distribution across all axes, compared to 0. Notice that the weights on 0 aren’t located on the same sides as the tabs, while 00 has that.. something like 10.

However, a lot of the weight is situated on the outer perimeter. This allows it to have immense OWD, giving it strong stamina potential.

Much as I hate to say it, 00 outclasses 0 in both attack and stamina aspects. It would be better for TT to make heavier but imbalanced disks to buff attack types and not fuel the stamina metagame.

But I do get what you're saying, and it would be nice to have more rubber tipped Drivers as well as attack-oriented releases in the future; however, I think this is solely dependent on what TT feels would sell more and screw the meta (why else would they sell Xtreme' and Hunter' as exclusives instead of regular releases, premium awesome stuff means more chances to up the value). I wouldn't be surprised if they put an Atomic'/Bearing' in a Rare Bey Prize game instead of selling it as a regular release.

Going back on topic, I surmised as much on the viability of 00 as a better alternative to 0 (which had reigned the meta ever since it was released with Sr) and even an obvious alternative to 7 or 10. I still think the variability of the weights of each individual 00 Disk is something that TT may have devised in order to maintain sales (keep buying the Starter to get the optimal disk weight, tightest Driver, etc).

I just got mine yesterday, and I have to say that I didn't understand anything about how Dimension is supposed to work. I'm twisting that thing like my girlfriend's lipstick and I can't figure out if it locks in place (like Extend), or if the clicks I heard are enough to let it stay in place even when it is launched. 


Which brings me to the question: any input on the mode changes? Like, probable fails like Operate where the mode gets changed when it hits the stadium after many uses?

While it seems complicated at first,  Dimension only has 3 height modes (short, medium, tall), and 2 tip modes (tip exposed or hidden).

As you turn the dial, the height increases/decreases.  Each time you hear a small "click" when turning, it signifies that the tip is being exposed. If you don't want the tip to be exposed, simply turn the dial a little more to get the tip back in.

The tip is also made of black rubber. I suspect as you use it more, it wears down like any other rubber. This means that there is a high possibility that over time, the tip will wear completely and become hidden no matter which mode you turn the dial it in.

(Jan. 03, 2019  4:56 AM)Rouzuke Wrote: Hmm. so that's a total of 10 possible modes, with each use of the rubber tip, wearing it down. That makes sense for the clicking noise then. I just wonder if continued turning and twisting will inevitably render the gimmick useless since the tightness might wear out too (tho that would be something cool where you set it to tallest mode then in mid battle its height changes to lowest height or something).

I will have to see for myself regarding the amount of rubber that protrudes from each height, maybe we can gauge how long before one can fully deplete the said rubber and if it is better or worse than a brand new one.

Actually it’s six modes. 3(heights) x 2(tip hidden/exposed) = 6.
The protrusion is very very tiny.. think of it like the tip of Fusion. Will definitely take little time to wear it down to oblivion.

They are really good. Along with the burst stopper, the layer shouldn't ever burst.

Its not impossible to burst. The burst stoppers aren't immovable - the amount of force to burst them is akin to that needed to click tall teeth + dash driver.

I had my ChoA (with both wings deployed) on Bearing burst during tests against Sr on left spin.

If it was impossible to Burst, then it would've easily gotten a ban-hammer. 

I assume your Sr was soft launched right? May I know the combos you have used on both CZ-A and Sr? Thanks in advance

As MagikHorse said, high burst resistance (to the point of unburstable) should not be the sole reason for a ban. It should only be banned if there were no viable counters to it, i.e able to outspin/outLAD every matchup yet having no weaknesses. ChoA doesn’t have that good balance, weight, and OWD for that amount of stamina.

Yes, Sr was soft launched.

Ohh I see. Duly noted the definition and criteria for ban-hammer. 

Just an aside, maybe they might make an Xt' in the upcoming releases, seeing that Zt had its Dash/Prime version. Or maybe not, since it'll be used more for Stamina/spin equalizing combos more and just keep the meta to kissing Beyblades.

I thought you already had it, but which has better attack ChoA or ChoS then?
