Well... BS did kinda take Beyblades idea... But they aren't the same thing.And DD27, talk to AD, you may get some HMS blades from him!
I think BS tried to attempt taking Beyblade to the next level adding better launchers and the ability to move your top..
Definitely different, but IMO not better. The top "controling" is annoying I've heard, and it also doesn't always work. Its via magnets or something. And I actually don't like the BS launchers, since you just wind them. With Beyblade, the amount of power you put in the pull, the way you placed your launcher, how you launched was all strategy, with the BS launchers, u just wind up and push a button or something to let the blade go... And the controlling only works in a small stadium. IMO, it would be awesome if you could control from a long distance, so you wouldn't need stadiums as much(and not something radio controlled, since than the blades would never stop spinning hahaAgain DD27, its just my opinion. And good luck getting those blades from AD, i'm sure you will like them π
I can understand about the launchers and the controlling method. It just seems......a little childish..as you said before, but they work and they some how give BS its publicity.and thanks. π
Someone really needs to make a Battle Strikers tpic so we dont just spam up this topic... anyways, I agree with SM about BS. While they are one of the best beyblade-like toys, they are definitely not as good. The launchers eliminate a lot from the game, as it is nearly impossible to get a bad shot. The magnet controller doesnt work too well either, and I find the Striker sticks to the magnet if you get too close (unfortunately, this happens if you get within only a few mm of the optimal controlling area). The parts are much too similar, and it seems like they were going for looks instead of functionality. The stadium is badly designed, although controlling them doesnt work so well in a beyblade bowl shaped stadium.
Question for you..how come you are saying we shouldn't spam the topic with battle strikers if you're continuing the conversation by still talking about battle strikers? just saying, it's fine though.
