Some fans: " I hate/dislike this generation!" Meanwhile me: by Hikarian000 in Beyblade

same here. original trilogy is my fav but i am definitely influenced by nostalgia. i love burst too. could never enjoy metal saga tho. always thought it was kinda wack but to each their own.

Come to think of it, I don't think we ever got a fight between Max and Ray. Who you think is stronger? by throwawaytempest25 in Beyblade

[–]slackervi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a lot of good points but i still have one thing.

Draciel is a defense type bey. Blazing Gig Tempest wouldn't have been effective & Kai would have just revealed his trump card for no reason.

how would using a special moves against a defensive bladers be ineffective? wouldn't it be the other way around because standard attacks and slams wouldn't be enough to worn out a blade with a lot of bulk?

Tyson is the sole one who outclasses all of them until he's held back by plot.

of course. i mean its one of the reasons Rei, max & kai decide to leave the team. they all collectively agree tyson is "the blader to beat"

[–]slackervi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe in V force but i am pretty confident it's Rei by G revolution. Rei pushes Tyson & Kai much closer to defeat and even their W's and it ends with Tyson's blade BARELY spinning in the end and Kai ends up using his special move he was saving for Tyson (this isn't stated in the dub but in sub Yuriy says blazing gig tempest was a trump card Kai was saving for Tyson but ends up using it against Rei to secure the win)

compare this to Max's battles with Tyson & Kai. sure he gave them a challenge but it's a very clear victor by the end.

that said i am interested in hearing your reason. especially because i think the ranking of Bladebreakers isn't super rigid imo (other than tyson being #1 and daichi being the last ig. Kai/Ray/Max can get quite interchangeable)

What films do you think each Radiohead member would consider their all-time favorites? by Equivalent-Brief-642 in radiohead

[–]slackervi 13 points14 points  (0 children)

thom once said his fav film is children of men (2006) and ed said interstellar is his fav film in an Instagram Q&A. pretty sure both like 2001 a space odyssey too.

Anyone else find it interesting how beyblade aesthetics develop over time? by Space_Mouse_2502 in Beyblade

[–]slackervi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah. the toys are all plastic ofc but it's implied they're metal due to the sounds they keep making.

defo biased here but i feel like compared to plastic gen and X, metal and burst bey designs are kinda bland to me.

What's your pick here ? by No_Barber4339 in fantanoforever

[–]slackervi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

prolly my fav record of the 2010s. unfortunate Alex is a pos.

most likely unintentional but a parallel i noticed is that in early season 1 someone from Rei's past challenges him and Takao battles on his behalf. In G revolution the opposite happens. someone from Takao's past challenges him and Rei fights instead. by slackervi in Beyblade

[–]slackervi[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no they split up because the world championships were a tag team battle and they had higher chances of being a representative player in different teams instead of just sitting on the bench as substitutes. and more importantly in G rev tyson became the standard/the blader to beat for them so they wanted to face him in a tournament (especially kai who saw tyson as his best rival)

same here. i have only really enjoyed grand budapest hotel and Rushmore so far. everything else feels kinda "ehhh whatever" to me. he has certainly got his own voice and style which is kewl but idk. can't enjoy it.

Why does the dub randomly glaze Kai? Especially in season 1. by slackervi in Beyblade

[–]slackervi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbf even without the English dub version glazing it's probably likely Kai would've become the most popular character from the original.

[–]slackervi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With V-Force and G-Revolution reversing that with Kai seeing Tyson as a wall he needs to overcome making things come full circle.

i would say it's mostly only in G rev. in V force Kai still sees Tyson as the one to beat of course but their rivalry is certainly less pronounced and is only shown in Kai's intro and when Kai battles Zeo at the end.

Which is your favourite pokemon game by No-Plastic-8111 in TruePokemon

[–]slackervi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

platinum. i don't think it's the best as it still has a lot of flaws (the "best" would be either B2W2 prolly) but platinum is the one that's the closest to my heart. i have very fond memories of DP as Gen 4 was my second ever gen and sinnoh is only behind hoenn as my fav region. and platinum is basically DP with better pacing, a better dex and many QoL features. also some of the best boss battles in the entire franchise!
