Blitz Striker 100RSF

Blitz Striker 100RSF is an Attack-Type Beyblade that appears in the anime and manga series, Beyblade Metal Fury. It is the upgraded version of Ray Striker D125CS and was released with the Strongest Blader Set on August 6th, 2011 in Japan.



Face Bolt: Striker
The Face Bolt depicts "Monoceros", one of the 88 constellations in space. Monoceros is Greek for "unicorn". The design resembles the original Striker Face Bolt design, but in a more stylized design. It gives it a more edgy, flame-like design. It shows Monoceros' face outlined in yellow, while on a blue Face Bolt.

4D Energy Ring: Striker II
Unicorno II is the successor to Striker (Unicorno). It resembles it, in that it is three-sided with spikes on it's three sides, representing the horns of a unicorn, going in a rightward circular movement. However, the spikes are more snuggled in together with the horns being longer, more detailed, and a violet rather than bronze. Unicorno II, is a transparent aquamarine and contains a powder-like substance used to increase it's weight like all 4D Energy Rings. Weighing 3.27 grams, it is amongst the heaviest Energy Rings and has use in three-sided Fusion Wheels like Blitz and Hades; much like Kerbecs, but mostly with Blitz as it provides excellent synergy with it.
 * Weight: 3.27 grams.

4D Fusion Wheel: Blitz
Total Weight: 43.72 grams

Metal Frame
Weight: 12.65 grams

Blitz's Metal Frame is circular, with three spikes on three sides with a square-like protrusion between each spike. The spikes are thick and oval-shaped, almost like that of a shield and it is where the weight is focused from Blitz's Metal Frame; they also are designed to fit into the gaps created in Blitz's Core. It can be used with Blitz's Core for a Mode Change.

Core
Weight: 31.07 grams

Blitz's Core features six spikes going around it in a left-ward motion. Each spike appears to slope down and have a bump protruding from it's front with a small gap between each spike. These spikes are quite thick, along with the Core itself, as it is what gives Blitz it's main contact points in order to provide Blitz with all the contact it needs to throw away opponents with it's consistent Smash Attack at normally, low heights.

Modes
Blitz contains two Modes, "Assault Attack Mode" and "Barrage Attack Mode". In Assault Attack Mode, Blitz's Metal Frame has it's spikes go in-between two spikes from Blitz's Core. This creates three separate large wings on Blitz, similar to Storm with a gap between each. In Barrage Attack Mode, Blitz's Metal Frame is adjusted to fit next to three of the Core's spikes. This creates three additional wings, for a total of six, with a smaller gap between each. However, the wings are smaller than in Assault Attack Mode.

The Modes can be changed by rotating Blitz's Metal Frame across Blitz's Core.

Performance
Upon release, a certain video featuring Blitz Striker against MF-H Basalt Horogium 130RS was uploaded by AkirasDaddy to YouTube. In it, it showed that Blitz Striker was able to give Basalt Horogium a KO at a low spin velocity, surprising many on Blitz's power. Then through extensive testing, Blitz was discovered to be a very powerful Fusion Wheel.

With it's release, it has outclassed many other Attack-oriented Fusion Wheels from the metagame; such as Beat and Fang. This surprised many, most noticeably the WBO community, with many of its members praising its "impressive knockouts" of the most powerful Defense-Type combos like MF Twisted BD145CS.

Blitz is preferred in Assault Attack Mode because it gives Blitz lessened recoil whereas in Barrage Attack Mode, it features a considerable amount of recoil due to it's many wings. Blitz can also reach it's full potential with a Metal Face Bolt, Spin Tracks like 90 or CH120, and R2F/RF as Performance Tips.

Overall
Overall, Blitz is an incredible Attack-Type Fusion Wheel. With it's high and consistent Smash Attack capability, it has since been used in many combos and tournaments since it's inception. It has become one of the two main Fusion Wheels for Attack, the other being Variares and just like Variares, it is a must-have for Bladers majoring in Attack.

Customization
Blitz can be put to good use on combos like "MF-H Blitz Striker II CH120R2F" or "MF-H Blitz Striker II 85R2F". The latter of which can constantly KO "MF-H Basalt Kerbecs BD145CS".

But generally, Blitz sees use with a Metal Face Bolt, a three-sided Energy Ring, low heights or CH120, and fast and aggressive moving Performance Tips.

Blitz can also be used in the "Phantom Orion Destabilizer", MF-H Blitz Unicorno II 90CS. It have been found to be able to destabilize Phantom Orion because it hits the B:D, because of its low height.

Spin Track: 100
100 is the third-lowest Spin Track currently available, but is outclassed in terms of Attack and Stamina by 85 and 90. Despite being overshadowed by those aforementioned Spin Tracks, 100 still contains use as a decent Spin Track for Attack-Types; as it's height can provide decent contact with the opponent and can be used as a substitute when 85 or 90 are not available.
 * Weight: 1.29 grams

Customization
100 has popular use in Attack-Type combos with Blitz in combos like "MF-H Blitz Unicorno II 100RF/R2F".



Performance Tip: Rubber Semi Flat (RSF)
Weight: 0.73 grams

Rubber Semi Flat (RSF) is an SF Performance Tip completely made out of rubber. It is essentially a Flat Tip with a smaller Ball-like shape, affording it a firm, defensive grip on the Stadium, but still allowing for a somewhat aggressive movement pattern with the proper launch. It's drawbacks, however, are that it has shown major weaknesses against Left-Spin Beyblades such as Lightning L-Drago, much like RS. RSF, like most Rubber Performance Tips, suffers from poor Stamina, although it has been shown to have slightly more Stamina than RS, due to a wider surface area, resulting in better balance at the end of a battle.

Variations
RSF has been discovered to have two different mold variations. In Random Booster Vol. 7 Beat Lynx, Tornado Horuseus 130RSF came with a mold appearing to be made of a soft rubber. This soft rubber makes the Bey behave more aggressive than a Bey equipped with a RSF tip from Blitz Striker or Ray Gil.

Other versions

 * Blitz Unicorno Blue Horn Ver. - A recolour of Blitz Striker consisting only of Striker (Unicorno) II and Blitz. Unicorno II is now a translucent dark red, while Blitz's Metal Frame is painted a metallic indigo, and Blitz's Core is painted a metallic light blue. It was distributed by the WBBA for winning a tournament.

Trivia

 * Blitz is German for "lightning".
 * The 100RSF combo was first released with Ray Gil 100RSF.
 * Masamune stated that he wanted Blitz Striker to go "Gagaga High Speed" which means very fast. Ironically, RSF does not move fast at all in real life.
