It doesn’t matter if Lucifer “barely wins” against opposite spin, because it does it very consistently. It doesn’t matter how much/little you out spin your opponent, as long as you do it consistently (which Lucifer does very well in opposite spin). Barricade Lucifer is actually top tier in competitive because it’s so great at countering Guilty Longinus which claps everything else, that it doesn’t need good same spin matchup, the whole point is to counter Guilty and let your Wind/Dynamite+F combo do whatever it wants
Barricade isn’t top tier. It’s good, and viable, but not top by any means. It is still pretty rarely used in competitive because of how abundant right-spin stamina types like Dynamite/Devil-F and Wind are. It’s pretty niche and only really used in finals Deck match type.
@@muhammadrazziqbinmohdnazzr7065 That's called being a viable counterpick. Competitive Beyblade is played with "decks" of three beys that you can swap between, according to specific rules. Where the usefulness of Variant Lucifer comes in is that if your opponent wins a match and is either running or switches in a left-spin, you can then switch-in Variant Lucifer and effectively get an automatic win in the next round.
Dude just roasted all gimmicks that look pretty different.He has points as they are not working well but I love to see these gimmicks are being added anyways
First off, great video. But I have a couple points to bring up. > While not good for it's intended use, Virgo's Gravity Ball 145 found use in a niche attack build that was pretty deadly. And with X's taller than average beys it might actually do it's job. > Sagittario's C145 was actually meta at one point due to it borderline hard-countering low attack types. But I agree that it would probably be bad in X due to how chaotic and hard they hit each other. > There was actually a bey in the Metal Fight era that had wheels, TR145, seen on Divine Chimera and Screw Fox. It was a pretty good for defense builds that could answer to low attackers and spin stealers. But it probably still do awful in X since the wheels would probably snap off in just a couple matches. > The barrier gimmick could actually do really well in X if they made it a free spinning metal disc around the blade. Not rubber. Or if they just do a semi-free moving ring like Kreis Cygneus, it could have some monstrous recoil for funny gimmick builds.
I feel like a lot of the beys with these gimmicks weren’t bad because of the gimmicks, just bad because of the execution. For example, Hyperion Burn and Beat Kukulcan were bad because of their shapes. Hyperion became so edgy that it bursted itself too much, and Beat Kukulcan was outclassed at the time of release (other than as a consistent counter to Maximum Garuda) due to it’s somewhat rounded shape, even when the gimmick was in effect. For another example, the Quest driver had the potential to be amazing if it was made to be shorter with a wider suction cup to avoid destabilization. My point is that a lot of bad gimmicks could be redone extremely well if executed properly. If TT just outright swept them under the rug, it would seem to me like an easy way out of improving their effectiveness through design modifications and creative thinking, which sounds a lot like something Hasbro would do.
@@klausfurland6186 hasbro might get axed from beyblade, cus tt is pl;anning to liscense beyblade X under thier international brand of TOMY and not hasbro if the press release translation is accurate
I'll add to this in 2 ways: 1, for some reason kukulcan from hasbro (atleast from my testing) was actually insanely good, probably due to the slopes making it near unburstable, 2nd of all you can easily apply this to metal attack tips. metal had more grip for plastic attack tips than plastic during MFB due to how they were shaped. just take direct comparisons of metal flat and plastic flat and apply it to every tip variation. of course it had less grip than rubber but we might not need rubber during this generation. plus it would help with them being so darn topheavy.
Yeah they were not bad. They were not stiff so if a low attacker hit the spin track rather than the force going into the beyblade itself it mostly it went into the claws mostly instead, and the bey lost less stamina compared to the standard 145mm spin track. The point raised in this video that it “didn’t add a lot of stamina apparently” is moot. Raw stamina was not the intention of the claws. Now the real reason claws shouldn’t come back is they would make for a virtually burst proof ratchet
Here in South America was a competitive at one point, with the ability of having three types of contact point made it pretty decent, it was common on Attack types and Tornado Staller combos. But it was a bich to fix when it breaks in half or one of the contact points breaks.
1:45. Actually GB145 has a niche use in tall attacker builds thanks to some Physics shenanigans, along with its weight. I've seen MF-H Flash Nemesis GB145 RF used before, and it seems to hit pretty hard in a way that probably can't be replicated by just using a normal 145
Yeah, GB145 works especially well on Flash attack because of it's heavy weight, the metal balls keeping the weight on the outer ends of the bey, and especially its shape
@borby4584 the technical physics term is that it balls increases the moment of inertia. Higher moment means it takes more energy to slow it down. This is also why the phantom wheel is a great stamina wheel. All of the mass is concentrated on the outside (high moment of inertia) so it takes longer for phantom orion to slow down
Yeah, i also feel how the balls were in the Flare base in GT could be fun for an Attack or Balance type doing something like an Inertia attack (well still probably a bit placebo)
The metal ball gimmick was actually pretty good for some beyblades. Earth Virgo's Gravity Ball 145 spin track that you mentioned is actually used in attack type combinations in competitive, due to the extra weight it gives.
Is this one of those things were if competitive players had their way over casuals in every game, street fighter and tekken will look like a gray void of gridlines, FPSes will look like aim trainers, and pokemon is distilled to pure rock paper scissors.
@@PhoenicopterusR True, but you can't argue that it's not a factor. Thing is, Jade Jupiter itself is a midling combo but that's mostly because its parts don't have synergy. But it has some really good (though not game-breaking) individual parts that just happen to not work well together. Jade is a decent (though not exceptional) 4D wheel with a good design held back by being just a hair too light. It's not _as_ good as, say, Duo or Death, but it can hold its own. Jupiter is the weak link in this bey's combo. It's decently heavy for an energy ring but not as heavy as some others, and it concentrates most of its weight towards the center rather than the edges, reducing its stamina. Shield 130 is a great spin track... for attack types. Just not on a defense type like Jade Jupiter. Rubber Ball is really good for pure defense types, though does best with fusion wheels with better stamina due to how its relatively high friction tends to drain the bey's stamina. Jade Jupiter would benefit more from Rubber Sharp, as despite its lower stability the tip doesn't drain as much stamina due to the smaller contact point.
@@PhoenicopterusR Because it's beyond the original intent of my initial comment. I was simply pointing out that Jade Jupiter was still highly sought-after regardless of its performance. You're the one who's demanding specifics and then complaining about the fact I didn't put them in the initial comment _afterwards._
@VestedUTuber that comment is not at all a "demand" for specifics. You offered up the specifics, and I'm telling you that if you have info like that, you should be using your words rather than the equivalent of "yeah, no." because it's a bad-spirited way to tell someone they're not right, especially when it comes to niche stuff like the popularity and viability of a beyblade.
The Claw on like Drivers and similar parts is actually decent for defense just they always give it to Stamina types for whatever reason and it's really bad for Stamina types
The suction cup did have a very unique and niche advantage in stadiums with a spinning center, because if you stuck it just right, the stadium kept it spinning virtually forever. Is it worth keeping for that scenario alone? No, not really...
So, the gimick I'd like to see make a comeback is the Engine Gear. Back in plastic gen, there was a line of beyblades that had wind-up tips that, depending on spin direction, would either give the bey a burst of additional rotational speed or increase its travel speed when triggered on impact. It'd be nice to see that make a comeback.
You just dont get it. Not all gimmicks are meant to be competitive. Some are just for fun and they add to the try-and-find-out aspect of finding the ‘meta’. These gimmicks make the bulding of the perfect bay FUN. You just don't get it
What made Beat Kukulkan/Boom Kalazar a great layer was the fact it was extremely thick at the time of god/evolution the gimmicks was so small it barely did anything making it way better than what it could have been.
The extending contact point gimmick was used in a few different ways. The ChoZ beys had extending wings that locked in place that opened via spin speed. Worked really well. Archer Hercules, Orichalcum, and Shelter Regulus had parts that extended out then retracted. Had varying results. Heaven Pegasus, Hyperion Burn, and Beat Kukulkan had click based extending contact points but only Beat Kukulkan was able to benefit from that. Shining Amaterios is an odd case because they didn’t spring at all. Softened attacks. Hazard Kerberus is the opposite case of contact points that could push in which was only really hindered by the solid contact points that the moving blades connected to.
For claws of Flame Sagittario. Put a WD like tips on it and it's fine it will work. The reason the claws suffered is because it's always paired with a sharp tip even in burst they did it. But I didn't really liked the Armor gimmick on the Phoenix beys
The gimmick in Beyblade X Don't want: unremovable face plate for better combos Wants: 1: the return of free spinning Sub Attack ring/Attack Layers 2: the return of engine gears
2:20 Iroinicly a blade with the claws that go from wide to narrow world work a lot better as that would increase the spin, same an ice skater pulling in there arms.
I know this video is a year (almost two years) old, but we have Knight Mail now, and I think that counts for something? Same goes for the wings with Samurai Saber
Well, ackchyually , the wings gimmick traces back to the Bakuten Shoot gen, with beys like Wing Attacker and Wing Defenser. And the former was my very first beyblade (which I eventually broke), and I recently got one in pretty good shape to keep on a shelf haha!
I could only think of one gimmick that should never come back and it’s be in the minus numbers it’s so bad! I’m referring the Kenny’s blade from gen 1 Frogger with the spring tip as it was trash both in the anime and real life!
Regarding wheels, I'm kinda surprised you didn't mention the OG wheel Beys from Plastic Gen, Roller Attacker and Roller Defenser. Similarly, with wings, there was the plastic gen Wing Attacker and Wing Defenser. Although in the case of Roller Defenser and Wing Attacker they were actually pretty good (Roller Attacker and Wing Defenser were crap, though).
Any mechanic that causes something to move from the centre of rotation outwards will steal spin significantly And for them to claim it increases stamina is a clear failing of understanding physics.
honestly the suction cup gimmick was bad but if they tweeked it so that it doesnt fall over and maybe somehow reduced friction inbetween the suction cup and the beyblade, it could be an interesting gimmick
They should just make a metal flat bearing drive, semi metal flat bearing drive, metal ball bearing drive and vice versa of those 3 on rubbers as bearing drives
I had 3 tops when I was a child, I first got one of the basic dragoons, the anime had just dropped, the toys had just arrived in the stores, it didn't last very long, I think the first few batches were made much cheaper than later ones, manufacturer probably cheapened out in case of international flop, and once the money started massively fliwing in from the general mania, production costs were made to match the Japanese counterparts, my guess here, could be wrong, but it was enough to get me, and all my school mates, completely hooked, the second one I got to replace the damaged dragoon was one with giant blades that would protrude out the topmost layer from spinning, it made it gave it very poor ballance and led it to perform pretty poorly overall, I don't remember it well enough to check which one it was, because the one I replaced it with, was the one I used for years, it was the green one with metal balls, specifically, the one that had 3, using one as the tip, I had tested it with the side balls out to compare, the metal balls really helped it be even more stable, because even without, it outperformed most othe tops my friends had, that thing was ballanced just right and if launched propperly on a clean, smooth, flat surface, could go for literal minutes, genuinely impressive. Most ballanced toy I ever got to use, including RC cars and all.
I don’t think the gimmicks are supposed to improve the real life versions rather than make the beys mimick their in show counterparts as much as possible
I saw a left burst video were they had metal beyblades and used quest/a suction cup driver and it actually did well I think they could bring it back in beyblade x if they make it stick to the stadium better and can amp up the stamina portion of it as well
I'll be honest sometimes some gimmicks are fun for the sake of the gimmick. For example the suction cups are dumb and disastrous, but it's so funny that I want to see it return.
This might piss you off but I kinda want barrier and suction cup gimmicks to comeback. I do genuinely believe they could both work. I saw Beyblade Republic make a free spinning version of the barrier called Doom Lucifer. I also saw Kevo purchase a fake quest driver and put it on his Lord Spriggan and it genuinely worked better.
For the 6:53 barrier the first and last version of it was bad but Lucifer the end was good if they were going to bring it back they going to have to change a lot of it to make it somewhat work
It doesn’t matter if Lucifer “barely wins” against opposite spin, because it does it very consistently. It doesn’t matter how much/little you out spin your opponent, as long as you do it consistently (which Lucifer does very well in opposite spin). Barricade Lucifer is actually top tier in competitive because it’s so great at countering Guilty Longinus which claps everything else, that it doesn’t need good same spin matchup, the whole point is to counter Guilty and let your Wind/Dynamite+F combo do whatever it wants
Finaly someone pointed that out
Imagine being a bad beyblade but being good at countering one op blade. Your bad with the rest but good at countering one op af beyblade lol.
Barricade isn’t top tier. It’s good, and viable, but not top by any means. It is still pretty rarely used in competitive because of how abundant right-spin stamina types like Dynamite/Devil-F and Wind are. It’s pretty niche and only really used in finals Deck match type.

They should just make a metal flat bearing drive, semi metal flat bearing drive, metal ball bearing drive and vice versa of those 3 on rubbers as bearing drives
Rubber barrier gimmicks should only be on left spins if it there is a majority of right spins
Or on a dual spin bey so that it can work at least alright in most battles
Oh yeah there still was one more burst gt blade that had metal balls
I had 3 tops when I was a child, I first got one of the basic dragoons, the anime had just dropped, the toys had just arrived in the stores, it didn't last very long, I think the first few batches were made much cheaper than later ones, manufacturer probably cheapened out in case of international flop, and once the money started massively fliwing in from the general mania, production costs were made to match the Japanese counterparts, my guess here, could be wrong, but it was enough to get me, and all my school mates, completely hooked, the second one I got to replace the damaged dragoon was one with giant blades that would protrude out the topmost layer from spinning, it made it gave it very poor ballance and led it to perform pretty poorly overall, I don't remember it well enough to check which one it was, because the one I replaced it with, was the one I used for years, it was the green one with metal balls, specifically, the one that had 3, using one as the tip, I had tested it with the side balls out to compare, the metal balls really helped it be even more stable, because even without, it outperformed most othe tops my friends had, that thing was ballanced just right and if launched propperly on a clean, smooth, flat surface, could go for literal minutes, genuinely impressive. Most ballanced toy I ever got to use, including RC cars and all.
Metal balls can work as a trigger mechanism another gimmick but by themselves it doesn’t do much
I don’t think the gimmicks are supposed to improve the real life versions rather than make the beys mimick their in show counterparts as much as possible
I saw a left burst video were they had metal beyblades and used quest/a suction cup driver and it actually did well I think they could bring it back in beyblade x if they make it stick to the stadium better and can amp up the stamina portion of it as well
There’s a reason why they got rid of the claws when Sagittario evolved
The bullet driver is cool tho it should make a come back. If u cut of the pick tongues it will work better so cut them off if u can
All of the gimmicks that returned:
Balls- Knight Mail
Wings- Samurai Saber
Triple Attacker- Weiss Tiger
I like how most of the useless gimmick can be found on burst lol
I'll be honest sometimes some gimmicks are fun for the sake of the gimmick. For example the suction cups are dumb and disastrous, but it's so funny that I want to see it return.
This might piss you off but I kinda want barrier and suction cup gimmicks to comeback. I do genuinely believe they could both work. I saw Beyblade Republic make a free spinning version of the barrier called Doom Lucifer. I also saw Kevo purchase a fake quest driver and put it on his Lord Spriggan and it genuinely worked better.
me personally i think that the only working stamina gimmic was archer hercules. fenominal gimmic with the metal on the outside for more outer weight.
Bullet and Trick is Fun to play with because its so Random I think All of these gimmick need to be Upgraded If TT wants to Use them again
GB145 gimmick is the best attack gimick to come out and if you get 2 gb145's you can mod it to have 2 in each thing which is op for defense
What about rubber if they don’t give to much
Diablo nemesis X:D had the same gimmick as the trick driver and it works pretty good
Alot of theese sound so familar its almost like all of these are in beyblade x
We got Metal Balls, Wings, and Triple Attack (technically double but it's close enough). All three of which are on good blades so far.
For the 6:53 barrier the first and last version of it was bad but Lucifer the end was good if they were going to bring it back they going to have to change a lot of it to make it somewhat work
The blade or ratchet would be the only things that could have any gimmicks, sinch the bit has to ride the x rail
