Why I Became A Sweaty Adult Beyblade X Player

“This is an adult only Beyblade video, fuck them kids” Absolute gold 😂

beyblade x is pretty much the perfect gen for adults who completely missed the second generation

Considering the initial trailer for beyblade x has primarily adults in it, i feel we are fine as beyblade x players

So I’m a submariner and on a recent underway, one of my buddies and I decided to pick up a few boxes of beyblades and a couple arenas to make a tournament for some moral boosting. When I tell you I was lambasted by the upper chain of command for doing something so “childish” I almost cancelled it. But I held on and still brought it with me. To say it was a MASSIVE hit was an understatement. The very same people who were shitting on the idea ended up participating and we all had so much fun with it.

Bro, you're never too old to enjoy any hobby. The only ones that push their kids to stop being kids are the ones that have forgotten to enjoy life - keep blading! 🎉

I remember being a kid with the first gen beyblades. I made a terrifying discovery, the orange top with the spring on the bottom had a weird middle segment, and I managed to put 3 weight disks on it. After locking the spring in the "retracted" position I had a top with over twice the weight of the competition, and dominated middle school recess.

AS HEARING THIS, I AM NOW ON MY WAY TO GET A SOAR PHEONIX! THANKS FOR INSPRATION DUDE! HOPE i can become at it because ive never played beyblade before!

as someone who has tested the plastic bucket; If you're gonna use it for beyblades. don't use it for X. use it for MFB. It's somehow better for it.

Beyblade X is what i would deacribe as "addictive gameplay" and it just gets wilder as time goes on. TT is currently testing a special rule set where if you use highly uncompetitve parts, you get an extra point per win depending on how many uncompetitive parts you use

Honestly, you're completely valid in your feelings here. I suffered from the same yard sale mentality in my family and ended up losing all of my Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon cards, Bionicles, and Beyblades.

I think, if Takara Tomy and Hasbro play their cards right for the future of X, this could be the best Beyblade generations of all time! Already it has the best of each Generation along with how more "adult" it is with how its becoming a "sport" in Japan. It's gonna be a good one, let's hope it lasts!

As a South Texan, I can confirm, it was hard to take part in certain hobbies. Its amazing how far we've come in the last 15 years.

16:15 just FYI, actually the string launcher has a bit less power/resistance than the big ripcord bcuz it has a lower gear ratio. This lower resistance can help to keep your launcher holding hand more stable for better control. And if you need more power from a string launcher you should focus more on whipping out the string with higher speed rather than just pulling with more power like you can on the ripcord launcher.

They call the flower pattern you described the "Sliding shoot" or "Rush launch" they coined it in burst. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find anything for X yet

When I was a kid the extent of my strategy was “get a Superheavy Chinese weight disk from the dollar store and be heavier than everyone else”

In 3.5, there was a psionic class that fought using a large psycrystal. Bet you can guess how RP'd that. I had gotten into Burst just as it ended. The burst mechanic, and the clicks that leads to them, intrigued me because "they added a hp system to beyblade" sold me. I bought some, quickly learned that COUNTERFEIT beyblades weren't just a thing but a common occurrence, and ended up researching where to buy legit ones (also the difference between the western and eastern versions). Afterwards X started rolling out and...I didn't want to spend even more money on imports. Thirty dollars a beyblade wasn't a lot, but it kinda was (ignoring that the one I really wanted, Roar Bahamut, was RIDICULOUSLY expensive). When I learned that X was coming to the states And that they were supposedly not going to gimp the designs like they did with burst, I was excited. I now own seven of the little dudes and am looking back at the jp market to get ones that aren't out here yet. I'm hooked!

I regret clicking on this video. Was into Beyblade as a kid, grew out of it, got really into it again with Metal Fusion and managed to stop when Burst came out. And then this video comes out, and has me adding new beyblades to my cart at the toy store. Thank you for this.

Beyblade is a fun competitive physics experiment for ppl of all ages for sure.
