It's the other parts that don't get along as well.)

The Beyblades you listed off, if those are the exact names, those should be the Hasbro ones (you may need to check their box to be sure). Many people here prefer Takara-Tomy, but there are still a number of people who get and like Hasbro. It's just important to not get mixed up from the information.

With that said, you will come across some other differences. For instance, the Takara-Tomy name for Lost Luinor is Lost Longinus. What Hasbro calls "Beyblade Burst Evolution" and "Switchstrike System", TT calls "Beyblade Burst God" and "God Layer System". Some parts function differently due to Hasbro making changes from TT's designs.

Anyway, I think that's some good information for getting started. It'll help you with sifting through the information out there. You might find it helpful to check out the Beyblade Burst Hasbro product list in the wiki and to read the Burst System wiki page.

It's been re-released multiple times, as B-09, B-33, and some special ones. There are some set releases that include it, such as B-08, B-18, B-38, B-76, and the new B-107. It's the one you're seeing in all the videos, usually being white or black with the clear shielding all around.

From what I can tell, you're using Hasbro? This is what I have for that:

Do know that the listed stadium sets contain Takara-Tomy beys, so as a Hasbro person, you're better off just getting a standalone like B-09 and B-33. But it's fine to just use Hasbro stadiums if that's all you can manage, just know that WBO tournaments will use the Standard-Type stadium, and it might help to have that to practice in.

I hope that helps you out. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask.

For example, the rush launch is used to make attack beys go toward the center

A lot of the launches the Anime use aren't real, only there to try and make launching the Beyblade seem cooler. For instance, there's no launch that could imitate Shu's "Counter Launch" that sends it from motionless to aggressive straight down into the middle like the Anime shows, and no matter how hard a real-life Rantaro might try, there's no way to make a "Roktavor Zone" off of your launch either. Anything performance-wise from the Anime, from Beyblade abilities to launches, should be taken with a hefty grain of salt knowing that it's made to hype up the beys to increase sales.

In terms of launches, most of the time a flat launch will work well for Stamina and Defense types anyways, and Attack types work best if you can master the classic Sliding Shoot technique.

I do agree somewhat with what you say. Some launches really don't work.
