Also I agree. I always did want Libra to have a bey spirit. I agree that the Bat would work, because on the face bolt; it shows a bat holding scales on it's wings.

I genuinely can't think of a way they could make a movie out of Beyblade that is any less of a campy advertisement than the show... Furthermore, whereas Transformers and all of the Marvel franchises actually have stories that transition well to the big screen, Beyblade has to rely on "Kids with tops beat bad guys with tops and the bad guys give up because they lost a top battle" which is vastly inferior for reasons I hope I don't have to explain

It'll just bump harmlessly against my combo until it nails it on that one contact point and BAM, my best Defense types are sailing out of the stadium. I can beat it with E230 defense, but it's still really annoying XD

However, in my search for a relatively effective counter, I've found my position on Diablo's place on the tier list changing completely. Before, I thought it wasn't going to stay long - but now I've found it winning in places where my Synchroms were failing. It still works wonders for Anti-Attack, and oddly was able to OS quite a few other combos as well. Plus, its excellent Attack power allowed it to KO combos it couldn't OS.

I really wanna try out Wyvang Ifraid now, that's interesting! So E230 was giving it trouble even with Ifraid on top? KainHighwind told me awhile back about how Ifraid is really good at hitting upward, so maybe if Wyvang Ifraid was on a track like LW160/SA165[Attack] it could land some good blows against E230 ([Normal], anyway, [Boost] would likely still be annoying)!

(On a semi-related note, I still feel really bad for not getting around to testing some of KainHighwind's ideas with Ifraid, hopefully I'll be able to soon *n*)

The plastics are awesome too an episode I watched when I was like three or four of Grevelution is what got me in to beyblade I've always loved Dragoon and Dranzer with Driger in third place! Also I'm thinking of drawing libra's spirit would you like me to pm you the image?

Ifraid was hitting E230 pretty hard, but for the most part E230 was hitting it on the side, or even getting down to Wyvang based on how it hit. And I did have E230 flipped up, so it was mostly just taking Ifraid's hits and sliding all over the place more than anything else.

Though Wyvang Ifraid SA165 (Attack) could be promising for taking down annoying taller combos that don't use E230, like Dragooon F230GCF, and it should be able to nail anything roughly the same height as itself, so 165/145 stuff should be fine. It should also be above BD145 at that height, so that won't be an issue either.

I'll have to see about testing that further, but I can't find his stuff right now to steal it in the name of science...

So I bought a bunch of Beyblade junk at Kmart, picking up a Genbull, Begirados, and a Fire Team set. Now I can test Wyvang Ifraid (if I can bear to trash the beautiful gold Ifraid )

Also in the set was Phoenic, which I was excited about testing, and I was extremely disappointed; it doesn't fit with anything, it acts like it's 5g lighter than it actually is due to recoil, and has surprisingly little Attack power given its insanely aggressive design. It's also poorly balanced, and so it can't even improve Stamina on any attack-y Synchroms I have.

Saramanda's also cool (particularly the orange-bronze color it's in ) but again I haven't found any use for it. I already have Killerken, Revizer, and Genbull, so I'm set for Defense.

I did notice something unusual about the E230 that came with Phoenic, as it is significantly less wiggly and "sticks" less; when pushed up from only one side it doesn't lock in place as much as my TT green one from the Def/Stam set. I plan on testing it to see if that improves or hurts its destabilization abilities.
