Number: BB-02
System: Metal Fight Beyblade
Type: Balance

Bull is one of the first four Metal Fight Beyblades released, and it is part of the Horoscope Series along with Pegasis, Leone, and Sagittario.


Face

The face on this Beyblade depicts a Bull, which is represented by Taurus in the Zodiac.

Wheel

  • Weight: 36 Grams
Bull and Quetzalcoatl both have similar designs, but the key difference between them is their Smash Attack points

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 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 this was quickly changed with the release of Quetzalcoatl. The design of Bull is actually quite similar to that of Quetzalcoatl, however, despite this similarity, there is one key difference: the Smash Attack points. Both are visibly different (as shown on the right), and this seems to be the key 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 have any visible form of that type of Attack in battle.

Use in Smash Attack Customization

Bull is severely outclassed by countless other Wheels, but most of the little success it has had has been on mid-height Tracks. Bull T125RF is one such custom.

Track: 125

  • Weight: 1 Gram

The 125 Track is a midway between the 105 and the 145 Tracks. Utilized in mid-height stamina combos, it is more difficult to destablize compared to 145 height stamina combos. It has declined in popularity as the choice mid-height track due to the release of T125 and D125.

Bottom: Semi-Flat

  • Weight: 1 Gram

SF is wider than Sharp, yet not as wide as any Flat Bottom, and thus produces a movement pattern that, while it is aggressive, is much slower than any Flat Bottom. The increased friction with the stadium floor due to the wider tip both increases it's Defense and also it's Stamina in comparison to something like S or ES, however it is in absolutely no competition with the likes of WD for Stamina or RS for Defense. Semi-Flat is meant to be used in Balance type Beyblades, as it combines aspects of Attack, Defense and Stamina. However, while exhibiting aspects of all three, it excels in none and thus is essentially useless.

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-heigt 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.
