Massive (マッシブ, Masshibu) is a Performance Tip released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System. It debuted in Japan with the release of the B-14 Starter, Wyvern Armed Massive, on September 19th, 2015. It later debuted in western countries with the release of Hasbro's Single Pack, Wyvron Armed Massive.
Description
Massive features a ball shaped tip that sits at the standard height, akin to Defense, but differs by having a larger diameter, having three tabs instead of four and lacking the defensive ring. In theory, the wider tip would increase a Beyblade's Defense by having greater surface area and friction, however in practice, Massive lags behind Defense in almost every aspect.
Like other ball based Defense Performance Tips, the tabs around Massive are meant to act as brakes against Knock-Outs at the cost of Stamina by striking against the stadium floor, however, the larger diameter makes such contact rare, giving Massive weaker Knock-Out Resistance than Defense.
The greater surface area of the larger ball creates a semi-aggressive movement pattern early in the battle, bringing a Beyblade closer to the Tornado Ridge. Due to the aforementioned weaker Knock-Out Resistance, any Beyblade using this tip will become very easy to Knock-Out.
While Massive lacks the scrape risk the ring around Defense posed, it does little to compensate for the fact that Massive's greater surface area and friction gives it weaker Stamina than Defense.
Overall
While similar to Metal Fight Beyblade's Wide Ball, Massive ultimately lags behind Defense in every category, having weaker Stamina and weaker Knock-Out Resistance.
As such, Massive is recommended for collection purposes only.
