Mine is an A2 mold

There's no guarantee that any certain God Bey will come with a tight God Chip, and no guarantee that a God Chip with an A# production number will be tighter than a God Chip with a B# or C# production number. The whole myth that a different production number is indicative of a different mold or has any correlation with the part's performance whatsoever was debunked four years ago with Hasbro's Metal Fury Scythe, and I would very much like for it to stay dead where it belongs. Leave the phrase "A Mold God Chip" in 2017.

Okay, look man, I let this slide the first time you responded to my initial findings with your own tests, which consisted of fewer trials, contained no measurements, and were conducted using a completely different Layer, because everyone else who attempted to verify my claim subsequently was successful, so I thought you'd drop this. Since you haven't though, I guess I'll just lay it on thick.

As one of the people who took measurements of their Scythe Metal Wheels and led the charge to tear down that myth, that performance of Metal Fury Scythe molds could be differentiated by letter-number stamps on their undersides, perpetrated by Ryuzaki, I'm fully aware of the importance of collecting data to identify correlations in parts' performances. The conclusion we reached back then, based on repeated trials and measurements, was that little to no correlation existed between the mold stamps and stamina prowess, but that a correlation did exist between weight and performance in mirror matches.

This time around, I followed the exact same procedure; I conducted multiple trials (i.e. tried 11 God Chips (even more since then) on the same Layer, dF) and measured the heights of those God Chips with a digital pair of calipers. Based on my measurements and the resistance I felt in unlocking the dF Layer from various Drivers using different God Chips, I observed a noticable increase in tightness of dF combos when the God Chips used with them were those with A# codes on their undersides. The measurements I provided also indicated that there was a measurable difference in the height ranges of the A# code God Chips to those of either the B# or C# ones.

There was never any myth about mold stamps indicating differences in performance in parts until somebody made claims based on falsified data. We've since done well to rectify the damage that was done by combating those unsubstantiated claims with facts. Unlike the previous circumstance, however, the increased burst-resistance offered by A# God Chips has been supported by both physical measurements, repeated trials, and affirmed by multiple other users than yourself. While it's true that letter-number codes of different factory molds are typically not indicative of any worthwhile information regarding a part's performance, there is overwhelming evidence to the contrary in this particular case, and only in this case.

I wasn't aware that reporting findings that didn't match up with yours was something that needed to be "let slide", or "dropped". I'm not disagreeing with you just for the sake of being stubborn, that would be stupid. I just think it's unwise to jump to conclusions that follow the majority opinion without first testing things out for yourself and encouraging others to do so as well.

Yes, it turned out that the real reason for the discrepancies between Scythe performances was weight (IIRC his AA2 Scythe was ~2g heavier than most others), but the fact remains that influential members can unintentionally use their influence to spread information that could be less than the truth.

(Jan. 13, 2018  9:31 AM)Wombat Wrote: If you need me to stoop to your level in order for you to acknowledge my findings as valid, I will - I just ordered some calipers for myself and will be posting measurements of my God Chips once they arrive, as well as conducting actual testing over Spring Break to see if the A# God Chips make combos burst less (since tightness of fit/assembly isn't very easy to measure numerically). Though, if I continue to get results that disagree with yours you'll probably just disregard as confirmation bias anyways ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
