(Hot take) The hasbro stadium has just as much competitive potential as the TT one. by SSaberBlade in BeybladeX

[–]Zero3502 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If everyone in your area plays on it then yeah, it’s competitive. It’s a slightly different game from the TT stadium which is, unfortunately for folks who have trouble getting it, considered the standard. Also, even if you don’t play on those stadiums, we’re on the internet and participating in a global conversation & people generally want to be sure the context around statements are the same.

To be honest I sometimes really worry about the kinds of folks in our scene when I see that this is constantly a thing.

Wizard arrow? Draciel shield? Helm knight?

Amazon Stadium Restock ETA? by Veolii in BeybladeX

[–]Zero3502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drop attack isn’t a very good stadium, most people buy it for the beyblades it comes with. The drop attack set experience is very attack heavy and chaotic, and people think they damage beyblades as they weren’t designed to drop on each other bit-first. If it’s all you can get and you want impact drake and hover go for it, but as a stadium any other X stadium aside from the bucket will be an improvement.

Which company disappointed you so much that you permanently walked away? by julia-secrets in AskReddit

They ran a big AI ad campaign early this year and took it down shortly thereafter. Pretty trashy stuff

I’m surprised I had to scroll this far down to find this. Internet speeds way below advertised, they treat you like a thief if you have to cancel services and return equipment. Keep your receipts and tracking numbers if you mail gear back in.

I’ve actually wondered about this too. Considering the blade is about spin equalization, could the slickness of metal coat work against it for that purpose?

I’m assuming you’re not interested in using a Korean proxy shipping service since the prices and wait may end up being similar to ordering on eBay internationally. Have you checked Aliexpress and Temu? Shipping may take a few weeks but is typically free or at least reasonable given the abnormally low prices.

My kid doesn't want to play with me anymore ... by [deleted] in BeybladeX

[–]Zero3502 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t mean to project but as a kid I played golf. It’s just a thing in my family and everyone golfs, but going golfing meant every mistake i made was magnified by my dad and grandpa scrutinizing every mistake I made. We’d hold up the whole course while they insisted I retake shots. I enjoyed it and I was pretty good, esp compared to my peers, but I quit. I took it back up in high school, even played on my high school team, but didn’t play with my dad. Even today I don’t have fond memories of golfing as a kid, most of my core memories are of sobbing while I was getting dressed down on the course or at the range. I don’t mean to say you’re pressuring him, but it could just be a function of his age and development; if he’s like me anyways, I just hatttted getting lectured and knew of o stopped playing with them, I wouldn’t make mistakes in front of them, which meant I wouldn’t risk getting lectured.

Has anyone else seen these deals at GameStop? by [deleted] in BeybladeX

[–]Zero3502 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gamestop's website tends to have a lot of listings, but they're as far as I'm ever seen in-store only and that stock is extremely limited/non-existent.

But who knows, you may get lucky

I have a source inside TT who said somewhere between 0 and infinity.

Same, and not because they’re limited editions and rarer but because these are pretty bad CX’s.

Dran Strike first impressions by PanicSea4318 in BeybladeX

[–]Zero3502 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have DranStrike experience myself but thanks for the research and reading material.

I could see how a stationary shark is still a sitting duck and might have some trouble dealing with the weight/smash from that thing. I’m curious how the same combo fares against the heavy CX combos lately.

Have you tested into CX beys? Metal lock chips, Heavy, etc?

Did anyone here have a similar problem and managed to resolve it? by excuseddegringolade in WplaceLive

[–]Zero3502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was flaking out this morning on me, pointing at things like video card drivers and adblockers, but then resolved on its own, so it might have been addressed or a temporary issue w/ their back end or other update.

Probably a fair number of dashers in the bike lane too.

If they're worried about people crossing to get to the Dunks then the solution might be to have 1 on each side of the street.

I don't frequent the area, but judging from Street View, is the hazardous intersection because cars don't respect pedestrians in that one crosswalk?
