The Red Compact

Haven’t posted anything Plastics in a while so here’s just some anti-meta type of thing I made:

AR: Tiger Defenser

WD: 10 Heavy

SG: Neo Left SG (Heavy Metal Core)

SP: Defense Ring

BB: Customize Metal Change Base

While this combo isn’t really a brilliant new concept - compacts, or combos that use centered weight distribution for maximum RPM have been around for almost as long as I’ve been alive (lol) - it changes one important thing about the combo that seems like it was previously overlooked: the Spin Direction.

Most compacts spin Right, only due to the fact that most Beyblades are designed to be Right Spin. With Right Spin being the norm, it opened the door for Zombie combos (Defense/Stamina hybrids that overcentralize the Plastics meta) to dominate. Zombies generally only have 3 counters: Same Spin Stamina, which outspins their rubber-based tip, Circle Survivor (which doesn’t work against some of the higher end Zombies like Twin Saucer from what I hear), and Attack (only if the Attack user is really good). 

This combo makes use of Left Spin to outspin Zombies, since Customize Metal Change Base has more Stamina than Defense Grip Base 2. Against Right Spin Attack types, you can either Weak Launch and that plus this combo’s weight will usually save you from a KO, or you can Tornado Stall for some semblance of Mobile Defense (which is kind of a sketchy strategy in and of itself tbh). Left Spin Attack is kinda rare, but you can either strong launch in a stationary position or try Stalling. If your opponent pulls some Stamina combo on you you can Sliding Shoot and make use of the small amount of Attack Tiger Defenser has in Left Spin to KO them. You’re screwed vs Circle Survivor though.

I tried this combo out at a tournament and found that Metal Change doesn’t catch the Tornado Ridge half as well as everyone says it does... maybe because the thing wears faster than Valkyrie’s teeth do. I’ve hardly used it since I got it half a year ago and the point is the center is already worn down to the point where it’s more like a semi-flat rather than a Metal Change.

something I’ve noticed lol

everyone else on beyblade tumblr: kai is so hot check out tala’s hair and read my tyhil fanfic

me: burn is good for stamina because of its owd

I don’t have anything against all the anime fans here, but is there any other blogs in the fandom that focus more on Beyblade as a competitive game like mine?
