Khel Wrote:I conducted a few matches with Virgo 105RF as you requested, and here are the Results. Battles were conducted in the MFB attack stadium, with both beyblades being launched with the beylauncher. Virgo 105RF was launched second in all matches.

The results are out of a five match test per combo. This was not a best of five.

1) Virgo 105 vs. Rock Leone 145WB
-Round 1: Virgo wins by knockout
-Round 2: Rock Leone wins by knockout
-Round 3: Virgo wins by knockout
-Round 4: Virgo wins by knockout

2) Virgo 105RF vs. Rock Leone D125WB
-Round 1: Rock Leone by outspin
-Round 2: Virgo wins by knockout
-Round 3: Virgo wins by knockout
-Round 4: Virgo wins by knockout
-Round 5: Virgo loses control and spins out of dish cause I'm retarded

3) Virgo 105RF vs. Rock Leone D125D
-Round 1: Virgo wins by knockout
-Round 2: Rock Leone wins by knockout (insane battle; it recoils of the wall and sends Virgo flying out the ring)
-Round 3: Rock Leone wins by outspin
-Round 4: Virgo wins by knockout
-Round 5: Rock Leone wins by outspin

4) Virgo 105RF vs. Libra D125D
-Round 1: Libra wins by outspin
-Round 2: Libra wins by outspin
-Rounds 3-5: Virgo wins by knockout

5) Virgo 105RF vs. Libra D125WB
-Rounds 1-3: Virgo wins by knockout
-Round 4: Libra wins by outspin
-Round 5: Virgo wins by knockout (this one seemed like a lucky win)

6) Virgo 105 RF vs. Libra 100D & WB (both had similar results)
- Rounds1-2: Libra won by outspin (D) and knockout (WB)
- Round 3: Virgo won by knockout
- Round 4: Virgo wins by knockout
- Round 5: Libra won by knockout.

These were my results; they are by no means indicative of what would happen in every situation, but I feel they paint a pretty good picture of how broken RF is. There are a few things though that I want to highlight from these test results.

First of all; I do not feel upper attack was plausible in most battles since RF is very tall. The matches where Virgo 105RF lost were against blades shorter than in (yes that includes the D125 track). It's height makes upper attack only plausible on 145 tracks. Similar results, if not potentially better can be achieved with a better smash wheel. My Storm Pegasis 100RF should get equally good results.

Secondly; I wanted to note that while I did not use the right launcher in my tests, I have tested RF with it and can say it only matches the beylauncher if a perfectly pulled sliding shoot is achieved. Using this shooter might have resulted in a larger number of losses.

My third point has to do with WB bottom. I find that sliding shoot is not the best option. WB has a fairly wide movement pattern, and by launching RF fairly regularly there are fewer chances of missing the blade; A less pronounced angle shot seems to be more effective.

In conclusion, RF is truly the spiritual successor to GFC/GFCUV, and I don't think the Virgo wheel had a major role to play. However I think some others should conduct similar tests to reduce the margin of error.

I hope these tests help, and if you want me to post these results somewhere I can. Enjoy!

Maybe the shorter track will make up for the tall bottom.
