Right, it's just luck, though?

There's a little more than that, There's "types" of beyblades, some have advantages against others, other than it's all about luck.

Lol, my autocorrect completely butchered my text, I edited it, so it should make more sense now.

What's a PROTO LAUNCHER?

u/Rayth69 Feb 17 '25

Looks like they just mean the original launcher from the time Beyblades first started circulating. Now they have those giant grip launchers that look like drills.

The agony of being beaten by a new guy, and then offering a congratulatory fist bump, only for said new guy to complete chin you off! Oh the indignity of it all!

I love the AJ Brown touchdown celebration he does. (It probably comes from somewhere else but I have only seen AJ do it. Go Birds!)

LeBron has been doing that celebration since the Heatle days

u/FtheMustard Feb 21 '25

Can you enlighten me as to what it is supposed to be?

2

u/Dr__Flo__ Feb 21 '25

It's called "the silencer." Idk if it's supposed to be anything. This is the same guy who would throw chalk into the air before games. I think he just thought it looked cool (it did).

u/FtheMustard Feb 21 '25

Fair enough. Thanks for the info.

This reminds me of the beyblade my brother made when we were kids. He loaded up one top with three weights and took off the safety lock on top. When it was spun, all the metal weights would fly off the top and start bouncing around the arena like crazy in hopes of knocking out the other top. I am kinda shocked how they let kids play with these things considering how dangerous they could be.
