Changes: Bull 125SF

Revision as of 00:19, 6 December 2018

Bull 125SF is a Balance-type Beyblade that appears in the "Metal Fight Beyblade" manga. It was one of the first four Metal Fight Beyblades released and is part of the Horoscope Series along with Pegasis 105F, Leone 145D, and Sagittario 145S. It is the first Beyblade in the the Bull family.

Face Bolt: Bull

Main article: Face Bolt - Bull

The Bull Face Bolt depicts "Taurus", the second astrological sign in the Zodiac and one of the 88 constellations in space. The design features a bull head, with the word "BuLL" below it. Some Hasbro releases, such as Midnight Bull 125SF, omit the word and enlarge the bull head.

Wheel: Bull

Main article: Wheel - Bull

The Bull Wheel consists of two long, sloped wings adjacent to each other, both ending in a point. Along with this, there are two half-circles on a slight incline in the space between the slopes, emulating the nose rings sometimes worn by bulls. Bull was originally considered to be one of the most offensive MFB Wheels, but was subsequently outclassed with the release of Quetzalcoatl. The design of Bull is similar to that of Quetzalcoatl. Despite this similarity, there is one key difference: the Smash Attack points. Both are visibly different (as shown on the right); this is the major factor contributing to the vast difference in their performance. Quetzalcoatl, but more so Bull, appear to have impressive Upper Attack slopes, but in reality; as with most MFB Wheels, they do not exhibit Upper Attack in battle.

Spin Track: 125

Main article: Spin Track - 125

125 is a midway between the 105 and the 145 Spin Tracks. Utilized in mid-height Stamina Type combos, it is more difficult to destablize compared to 145 height Stamina Type combos. It has declined in popularity due to the release of gimmicked Spin Tracks of the same height, such as Tornado 125 (T125) and Defense 125 (D125), which offer more weight and balance capabilities.

Performance Tip: SF

Main article: Performance Tip - SF

Semi-Flat (SF) is a sharp tip with a flattened end. As a result, Semi-Flat displays a combination of Attack and Stamina qualities, moving in a semi-aggressive pattern. Because of this however, the two attributes are compromised, resulting in an average performance in both categories.

Semi-Flat produces a movement pattern that, while aggressive, is much slower than any flat Performance Tip. The increased friction with the stadium floor due to the wider tip both increases its Defense and Stamina in comparison to a bottom similar to Spike (S) or Eternal Spike (ES). However, it is in absolutely no competition with Performance Tips such as Wide Defense (WD) for Stamina or Rubber Spike (RS) for Defense.

Semi-Flat found a niche use in Destabilizer combinations, where a low Spin Track combined with Semi-Flat's balanced qualities allowed the Beyblade to destabilize the opposing Beyblade.

Overall

The Bull Wheel was only briefly one of the top offensive choices for Wheels after Metal Fight Beyblade was released, and has since been outclassed severely. 125 Track variants in T125 and D125 have filled in the mid-height niche with additional gimmicks. SF is mediocre since it is outclassed by rubber Bottoms in Attack, and it is easily outspun by Stamina-based combos. There is absolutely no competitive reason to purchase this Beyblade.
