I did get some nice KOs when I used it in the tournament. My second RF(oldest ) is 1.5 year old and that is quite fast too. But, I haven't launched a new RF for almost 6 months now so.. Not really sure if both of them could have been faster. Also, there seems to be something wrong with my EWD. During the finals of the Mumbai event, it self-KOd twice on Gravity. It's just 2 weeks old and I dont use it frequently either but it gets so aggressive in battle that Gravity starts tornado stalling and just self-KOs. Good thing that I weak launched and used it in right spin later to spin-steal the win.

The slight bubble on my Legend Bull CW means it will tilt very slightly, giving it an advantage over regular Bull CWs in any situation where low attacks are needed and meaning it will win the mirror match ~95% of the time (trust me on this number, I tested a lot and while it occasionally drew, it never lost).
CH120 not holding a facebolt properly means it doesn't hold its 145 height as well either and may drop back down in battle.
Softer rubber means more grip, meaning greater rate of spin equalisation on a CW or track and less recoil and stamina on a tip.
FS going agressive more often and staying that way longer most definitely changes its performance. It doesn't really affect competetive play because the tip sucks but if it didn't it most certaily would.

Everything I listed is something I have been told was inconsequential atleast once and not one of them actually was. Thus I figure any minor difference is worthy of my attention, no matter how small it may appear.

The WD from Gravity Destroyer is externally no different to any other but has 6 small bits of plastic reinforcing the connection between sides and base on the inside that other WDs lack.
Theoretically, this should make only a neglidgeable difference but my Earth based combo seems significantly harder to KO when using that than when using any other WD I possess.

The phenomena I explained above was very much noticeable in my MagneStadium, so I could see it rather clearly, haha!

Parts beside the Metal Wheels are magnetic ?

I just tested all of these things:
Metal Face - No.
MF-H - No.
Metal Assist(Grip) - No.
Metal Flat Tip - Yes.
GB145 Balls - No.
GB145 SCREWS - Yes. Waka Waka?
Metal Wheels - No.
Chrome Wheels - No.

All screws in all parts are magnetic, of course, so the GB145 ones aren't surprising. However, the balls themselves are not magnetic, if this magnet is not responding to them. This thing could relocate your braces to somewhere very uncomfortable, were you wearing very old braces, and I held it up to your butt.

It would appear we have no way of knowing what this means for competetive use but I'd be willing to bet the weights are not the same for the two metals.
