As someone coming from the outside, it really sounds like Takara Tomy is far superior if only due to the fact that they don't constantly release new generations that are incompatible with previous stuff.
I mean, 2 out of the 3 generations are compatible with Takara Tomy stuff. Burst is only really not due to different locking mechanism. however, Hasbro is worse cuz they have bad quality control and have really light and competitively unviable tops. Pro is fine for sure.
Despite being in my late 20's, i find beyblade insanely interesting. Like thinking how the small changes in shape and weight distribution will affect how it acts. I prefer strong defensive types. My go to is kerbeus k2, armed, press
@@SzasseGames i didnt stick around long enough to try the switch era. But the combination of armed and press gave it a really low center of gravity that counteracted the k2's crippling weakness off being hit from the top
I adored Beyblades as a kid and had a bunch of them, eventually fell out of it, but then I've been seeing them a ton over the past few years and ended up picking up a few at 5 Below on sale. I've been putting off getting back into them because i knew I'd go crazy as soon as i did, and so far it's been a week and i have five of them. My younger self would be so proud 😂
This was an amazing breakdown. You definitely worked really hard, and I give you an A+. However there is something you forgot, Fake Beyblades. There are Hasbro and TT, but Fake Beys are also a thing, in which are banned at tournaments and might contain Lead. When I first got back into Beyblade I got a lot of fake beys not knowing they were fakes (Some I have grown a bond with, but for the most part they aren’t that good). So kids need to know how to watch out for fake beyblades.
You also forgot about Balance types. Which is technically a mesh of all 3 types but still varied enough to be it's own type. Most common balance types are; Greatest Raphael, Infinite Achilles and Astral Spriggan as they got different mode changes.
Balance types are a bit of an odd topic. I find a hard time explaining them to new people. Though it's an aspect, I don't think it's really important to know about when first getting into the scene
@@SzasseGames That is true. They're a bit iffy to talk about as they're not technically their own type. Just a mesh of the others but more versatile. Up against a defense type? Stamina mode on Xtend+. Going against attack? Infinite Shield for the Infinite Ring. So and so.
I've never played any beyblade before but this is so interesting and I kinda wanna get into it. I didn't think "funny spin game" I see every once in a while would have so much deph
@@callmeandoru2627 haha understanding weight distribution, LAD, spin equalization, pressure points, burst resistance, scraping, there are a lot of engineering concepts at play you might not realize you're interacting with!
When I was a kid back in like, 2001-2002, I watched the OG anime and kids collected beys and it looked so cool to me. I was never given one as they where expensive (according to my parents) so the only thing I ever got my hands one where the small collectable Beyblade Tazos from crisp packs. Over the last weekend I noticed the Beyblade Pros and Speed-Storm packs in a local K-Mart, and was like "wow that's still going?" and I have been finding videos like this, learning that the game is way more complicated than I thought it was, so now, as a 34 year old (probs considered too old for this) I have bought 2 Pro series Beys (Lord Spryzen & Harmony Pegasus) and a stadium, and I am looking forward to trying them out and learning more. This video really helped, I'd love to find something that is like, a good guide to how to customize/improve those Beys, what parts to change to improve them ect. Also, the names and designs are so darn cool now, just collecting them would be fun!
@@SzasseGames You bet I won't, I still play TCG's too, have done since I was 11, heck I my fiancé bought me a TechDeck when she came to visit, hadn't seen one of those since I was in school either, so I guess I'm just rediscovering cool stuff and enjoying it! I just love how complex Beys are now in terms of parts and stats, its brilliant! I love the content, keep up the great work!
The last time I picked up a beyblade was when ginka was a character. I just bought the evo pro pack or whatever in this video yesterday and thought they felt so cheap compared to the metal fusion days. But then I read the manual on how to play and it was supposed to be designed that way because you need to break the bey to get two points
I miss the metal fusion beyblades. They were so fun to play with and “collect” wish I’d of known how hard they be to get today. There basically rare to buy at this point. I had like 55 at one point but between moving houses and being a kid, I lost most of them. I have one left my pride and joy💀
Wow. You weren’t kidding. This topic is super niche. This video is definitely comprehensive and covers everything you possibly would need to know. I’ll have to look at your other videos to see how you could increase your overall watch time. I’m thinking it would most likely be cool action shots of game play or more videos like this one for tutorial or instructional content. Other thing would just be to push the content out to more viewers and increase your number of subscribers.
Haha I appreciate your interest. It's a very hard niche to grow in, there are a few big channels that eat up the viewers and then hundreds of us at the bottom just trying to get some clicks haha. I'm currently moreso on thumbnails and clicks as my view durations are good and I get constant input that I put out quality content. Just hard to get people to click the video, but it's coming.
@@SzasseGames Have you tried just pulling the thumbnail image straight from your video and editing it in Canva. I wonder if having a generic background thumbnail with wording may be impairing your Click through rate? That’s how I do my thumbnails and for my monthly dog subscription box I get about a 6-10% CTR consistently. Obviously varies for other stuff though.
3:36 Canadians: *looks at the $100 QuadStrike stadium set at Toys R Us that looks like it took $4 to make* Ah yes, “cheap” Cheaply made? yes. Cheap to buy? Not always, unfortunately they can get quite expensive to buy in most places I’ve seen
I agree, hasbro is still good beyblade fun, and with way more common bursts its sometimes better for kids to enjoy. They didn't keep up with TT's quality and complexity, but they are a better kids toy. Thanks for watching!
I've been a beyblade fan for years but I clicked on the video anyway because of Wrath Cobra C7 on the thumbnail. I've had a weird fixation on Viper Hydrax, and as of now I've gotten so much experience that I've now moved on to making my own 3D printed beyblades. Regardless though, I still enjoyed listening.
@SzasseGames At the moment I just have 1 prototype, and it was made with an older white filament so it's pretty rough. I do have some newer coloured filaments but I haven't got around to printing the final version yet. I got the basic template files from CrazyAries. The first version was meant to be an upgraded version / evolution of Viper Hydrax, as I started the project in 2021 before Wrath Cobra existed. I then found out about that beyblade so I went back and made a new design based on a custom metal fight combo, with it prominently having the blades from the Hades/Hell fusion wheel. That version requires over 5 metres of filament so I haven't been able to print it either, so at the current point in time, I'm working on a third version. This third version is based on another Hasbro exclusive called Ambush Basilisk, as I bought that beyblade literally yesterday and thought it looked cool. I plan to try and do something more unique with the design, using the original design as a base, so I can essentially call it an evolution despite the parts being from Sparking.
@SzasseGames not yet, we just made the decision last night to get started. We are thinking about buying a lot of beyblades and stadiums on marketplace or eBay to drum up interest at the shop, but I don't really know exactly what I'm looking at anymore.
@@brymanxl well, it's a pretty good time to get that moving. The new Beyblade X is about to release in north America on June 1st. So a lot of interest is bubbling around that. If youre intending to buy a bunch of beys I would wait for that release as those will be pretty affordable and able to be picked up locally
I used to watch the first Beyblade series a lot as a kid but never got into battling with them. Recently I've gained a renewed interest in this but, more in the way of sparcely collecting some nice ones to put on display. Although I do plan on playing the Burst App in a casual manner.
Cool video. I just prefer the Metal Fusion series overall. It was my childhood, and at the time the Metal Fusion series was so popular and in demand. My first one was actually Rock Aries
A lot of people have that sentiment so I totally get it haha. Burst and Metal are very different. What I like about Burst is that it went back to more like the plastic gen when I started, so it definitely fit my expectation of beybalde more.
@Szasse Games Beyblade I would love to get back into it. I had some of the more original names that you would see. But it seems like finding them is hard anymore unless you go for the Japanese ones, and even than I can't find anymore than like 15 names and that's about it. I don't want to buy off eBay.
Thanks for the vid man! Just got back into beyblade in my 20s, and didn’t understand the real difference between hasbro and Takara tomy until now. Wont be wasting any more of my money on anything below pro series going forward, also gotta get myself a takara tomy Dranzer. Thanks!
You're very welcome! Beyblade X is about to come out and for the first 2-3 years hasbro should be equivalent to TT for those products once they start to release.
4:03 Well very few select Hasbro beys do get *some* bits of metal. Hades H4 and Xcalius X4 for example. And only Fafnir F6 got the rubber as well as F3 but those are the only rubber-esque beys Hasbro has made. 5:41 And it comes with two Light Launchers, not Dynamite Battle ones. Though if they did throw in the Db launchers, it would likely be far more expensive than it already is.
@@SzasseGames I'm always keeping an eye out for smaller details. I can't buy all of these beys but with the reviews and research, I find every spec and detail. Also a little trick I learned is that when launching with a string launcher, you just let your finger and thumb a bit loose, enough to hold the handle and to release it at its full pull.
@@arianitonline8748 Takara is attempting a much more global release this time. On the 15th of July they will be Japan only. But their schedule looks like a bigger global scale early next year
Very nice video! What's your favorite combo of attack and stamina? I just ordered some more beys to test out some different options on Rage and Ult valkyrie
I really love Xiphoid Xcalibur for attack as it is just so powerful. Throwing that thing on Xtreme is just so fun. Guilty Bahamut Nexus+S reboot' is also one of my favoites, even though Reboot isn't that great.
The best stamina I mentioned here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-erSgJu2NBNU.html My favorite stamina type is Greatest Raphael Over Drift when fighting left spinners. I just like weird combos.
You definitely do not need to watch the show. That is just kids entertainment and won't really teach you anything about the products except their names
What’s the best possible beyblade you can get? The Pinnacle of all generations. The objective best beyblade that will destroy almost anyone off the shelf.
That would be impossible to say. Each bey has their own strength and weakness. There are some stronger ones like Guilty Longinus or Prominence Valkyrie, but they aren't unstoppable.
Great video! I’ve been wanting to get back into beyblade but I’m not sure where to start exactly, I’m thinking about trying out beyblade burst but I’m not sure how it compares to beyblade metal. Will it break more or be worn down faster cause of plastic? Also I saw a lot of people say the fighting in burst is more boring compared to metal. And I’m worried about the whole generation thing in burst there’s so many I don’t know if I start in one generation only to find another generation is superior like dual layer vs quadstrike or god layers.
Burst is now over, and it's not a great time to get into that generation. Especially so if you are a metal fight fan as there is an adjustment period to get used to the generation change. If you're getting back into Beyblade right now, you need to look into Beyblade X
In my opinion, hasbro is simply quantity over quality becuz they releases more variants of beyblade and stadiums. Including beys those that werent even in the anime and a few stadiums that has some sort of similarity to the ones in the anime, so thumbs up to them for that even though they completely deleted the gimmicks on their beys when their dubbed anime has more views than japan's. While takara tomy on the other hand, is quality over quantity. Takara tomy releases beyblade just like how it appears to be in the anime. They also do release some variants of beys (mostly recolors found in random boosters) including some that werent in the anime like gt odin,flare and etc. Simply put, hasbro put in more money in the quantity and varianty of beys for the enjoyers to choose from, while takara put in more money in the quality so that its enjoyers can get some sort of feeling similar to the anime. But I still think takara tomy is better becuz if hasbro really put the concept of quality and similarity to what the anime shows into their beys just like tt, the world would definitely know more about the beyblade burst series becuz the eng version of beyblade burst which hasbro publishes is shown to the whole wide world.

@@SzasseGames yep and my brother is going to use his dynamite belial nexus venture with the s,l,f, and v gears and we are going to show the beyblade world that team myth is going to be the number 1 beyblade team in the world
I'm pretty sure I know the answer as I sort of got it answered through random searches. But to double confirm.. So if I were to buy a pro series Beyblade to get the driver out of it specifically, I wouldn't be able to switch that driver out into a Speedstorm series? I recently picked up a Demise Devolos D6. For a stock beyblade it does pretty well, most recommend however to switch out the driver. So would I have to only use "Speedstorm" drivers if I wanted to customize it at all? Or can I purchase the pro series Beyblade (Zwei Lunior to be exact for its Xtend+ driver) and use its driver on Demise Devolos.
You can use any Hasbro driver except for pro series. Pro series uses the takara Tomy style teeth system for locking in, where Hasbro usually uses slopes. They are not compatible
This is a good video, but I do have one gripe: I don't think its a fair comparison to show the Hasbro plastic gen remakes as what Hasbro beys are now. Its very misleading as they just aren't really a real comparison. Like the thing about it is that you actually just did what you should have done, show the current quad drive stuff. Its clear to most that those suck compared to TT now. I'm not defending Hasbro, quite the opposite, but I don't think its right to show plastic gen remakes as if that's what Hasbro beys are now. Also Hasbro stuff on average (when they were the same things like before turbo) were actually a lot harder to burst than TT, even with TT's dash drivers. People only think that Hasbro is more burst prone cuz the 6 top tier layers in TT were heavily nerfed for the Hasbro version. In exchange though, others that were bad in TT were buffed to be much better. Things like roktavor, unicrest, kerbeus and yegdrion are the top tiers insted of the Valkyrie, Neptune, deathcyther, and Odin of TT.
Thanks for the passionate comment! Haha those plastic gen pictures were added by my editor to break up the view points. I missed that they added those when I put this up, or I would have had them swapped to something more recent, but it was already posted before I noticed.
Would there be any way to do an indepth video on the interchangability of parts, which parts do what, and respectable dealers to buy from? I'm completely lost in my search and I keep running into counterfeits, save for Beys and Bricks
That's definitely fair. Beys and bricks Mall of toys Bey warehouse Beyblade premiere These are sites I would recommend. I can add that request to our list of video plans for sure but it will take a while to get out. Thanks for the comment!
I was really into this back in June one. Do you think people of all ages can enjoy this? I really would like to get back into it but I feel like I might be judged
I am 34 and am the main organizer for the Houston area. All ages are definitely welcome and you can find a community of like minded individuals in your area if you look!
If anyone judges you for your interest in a hobby, they probably arent worth the time worrying about their opinion. I love this hobby and definitely recommend it
Tbh. Never do care if a passion of yours get judged. Your passion is there to fill a important hole in your life. So if someone judges you, just build a circle of like minded. Every hobby has a circle of peeps who are happy to bring new enthusiasts in.
@@SzasseGames np I like the way you drop content. Something fresh to observe and take part in. You’re off to a great start. Keep up the consistency, thanks for the inspiration.
Welcome back to the hobby! The burst generation is an excellent point to get back into for those who liked the originals. Hope you find my content helpful to your return :D
MAN! IM A GRANDMA TRYING TO BUY A 8 YEAR OLD 1ST SET - I JUST NEED TO KNOW WHAT STARTER SET TO BUY THAT IS A GOOD SET TO START TO BE SERIOUS ABOUT THE GAME OR SPORT??? CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT STARTER SET FOR A 8 YEAR OLD BOY? PLEASE THANKS

Depending where you are there are lots of Metal Fight communities. I'm not really involved in the metal fight scene but bey tubers like Beylegacy are and can relate to that generation content. Check worldbeyblade.org for metal fight events near you!
I have a quesstion about reselling used beyblades on eBay. I got a big bag of used beyblades and launchers at the thrift store. Does the layers, disks, and drivers always come in a original set when purchased? They are all mixed up. So I don't know which part originally goes with what. Can I just resell each part separately?
I bought a bunch of Beyblades in a big lot of stuff that I bought.I have tons of pieces and launchers but have no idea how to tell what ones are what and how much they may be worth.Any advice on where I can go to price them and to tell what ones come from what set?I am pretty sure they are all older ones there is a bunch of plastic and metal pieces.Any help would be appreciated.
As a big log its going to be a bit complicated to do. If you can lay it all out in some clean photos and post them on the beyblade reddit asking for some identification help, the guys there usually are quite happy to help identify parts
@@SzasseGames Ok thanks I will try that out.I am a reseller and bought a bunch of collectables pokemon,world of warcraft items,vintage toys and ofc the beyblades.Everything else I knew about but the beyblades I have never had or dealt with thanks for the help.
I'm struggling with one of the launchers. It only fits or works with one of my beyblades. The beyblade won't come of the launcher. Is there something I'm doing wrong. Just starting out and think it's all quite complicated.
Some of the launchers for smaller beyblades can get stuck on the bigger ones. Like if you are using a green/red/orange hasbro light launcher on a pro series beyblade, or a takara bey, it might struggle a bit there. All burst launchers technically work on all burst beys, but there is always a bit of wiggle room in that where some are really tight
did they remake / remade plastics generation into new one like brust / metal ? i want to get the latest version, but still have nostalgic looks like the og i grew up with
Yes they did. There is a 2020 anniversary and 20th anniversary set that takes the plastic gen designs and makes them burst. Or there are plenty of Dragoon draciel Dranzer and driger released from Hasbro, or in Takara random boosters
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ke1EIfwGEho.html This was when we were just starting out so the recording is a bit rough, but a good breakdown of that 20th anniversary set.
i only knew one series from childhood tv, so nearly nothing and especially nothing about the real world blades, so today i came across the whole frenchise and its crazy when i look up a shop and the pro series blade ranges around 80-300€, are they insane??? its a piece of plastic for children, how greedy companies can be, if real children want to buy means they only can afford the cheapest crap and wait till they have a job as manager to afford the good stuff?
Most of those prices are looking at importing the products from Japan, so most of the cost is delivery and transportation. Beyblade has quite a large older teen/adult audience that is paying for these Japanese imports.
We've currently been focused on X for tournaments. Though some burst ones still pop up in Austin and Dallas, check World Beyblade Organization or Texas Beyblade League to get into some!
As L-Drago is a triangle attack style bey, Ultimate Valkyrie is probably your closest in feel, but the styles are just so different between those two generations. Beyblade X just released this past week as a new series, and it has Dransword which should feel a lot more like L-Drago than anythign burst has.
You can find details on Dransword here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WC8gNvk4-R0.html and here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w8bVGIFTLCs.html
You can find details on Ultimate Valkyrie here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oa_lsWnHA9c.html and here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3nytpXSaJlw.html
As long as it's the same generation they are compatible. So all Beyblade Burst products are compatible with other beyblade burst. The exclusion is Beyblade Burst Pro Series which is compatible with Japanese beyblade burst but not most of the hasbro stuff.
It took me 1h to assemble my first bayblade. And 15 min in to trying to launch it only acidental launches are good ones on purpiss ones keep falling off and i dont know how to fix them. Edit: if you statread at first gen and came back only to start from burst then you may experiance hardnes of launching your spiner since unlike the first fen spiners this ones point of conection to the launcher is wery flimsy.😢

@@SzasseGames Thats nothing to argue about. It’s factually the best. Metal fight sold the most toys that means it is the most popular. And the metal fight anime is 100 percent better quality than burst, how could you say otherwise?? You are just clueless but that’s okay👍🏻😄
Your opinion of the anime is simply subjective and tinted with the roses of nostalgia. And I doubt you can pull a source from those numbers. Like most metal fight fans though you will spout off superiority. Though the metal fight gen had the least interesting gimmicks, the least recognizable beys, and the least variety in combos
Though to each their own, I would heavily disagree. The Burst Generation beys are some of the best engineered, most interesting and unique beys I have ever used. I would highly recommend giving them a honest try. It is definitely different from the metal gen days, but still so much fun. If you really only like Metal Gen make sure to checkout Beylegacy, that guy does awesome metal content.
