Bear Scratch 5-60F
BX-37
Embedded Files
Weight: 29.6g (LOW END) - 29.9g (HIGH END)
Design: Bear Scratch features 4 focused contact points with a jagged, sharp shape that excels at delivering hard, powerful hits.
Attack VS Attack: In an Attack vs. Attack (AVA) matchup, Bear Scratch relies on early aggression. Since it has no endgame stamina, the goal is to finish the battle quickly, either by KO or Xtreme Finish. Bear Scratch can also use its recoil to counter certain attackers when paired with combos like 5-60 Point, which helps absorb some recoil and tank hits on any Flat bottom. Although due to the poor weight Bear will likely get thrown around the arena.
Defense VS Attack: Bear Scratch is not suitable for defense setups, as its high recoil often works against it, leading to self-KOs or bursts.
Attack VS Stamina: Bear Can be used on aggressive setups like Rhino Horn but the issue is the light weight makes it really hard to be consistent since you are banking on tiny contact points and bumps to do the work.
Strengths:
Hard Hits: Bear Scratch is among the top blades for hard-hitting attacks due to its square shape, allowing for impactful hits that can knock opponents into the Over Zone.
Weaknesses:
Poor Stamina: Bear Scratch's lack of stamina means if it fails to land decisive hits early, it will lose momentum and be easily outspun.
Gap Vulnerability: Like other blades with gaps, Bear Scratch is susceptible to bursts. It is recommended to use this blade on 60 or lower heights to minimize this risk.
Recoil Release: Due to its high recoil, Bear Scratch can cause the Ratchet to release the Bit, leading to self-bursts.
Overall: Bear Scratch is an aggressive blade that can deliver devastating hits but struggles with stamina and recoil. It excels in early KO attempts but falters in longer battles.
Gameplan: Use Bear Scratch on low-height setups with bits like Low Flat or Rush, aiming for fast, controlled hits to capitalize on its hard-hitting potential.
Combos:
Attack: Bear Scratch 9-60 / 5-60 / 3-60 /1-60 / 7-60 Rush / Low Flat / Flat / Point
Weight: 6.6g
Design: 5-60 is a ratchet that has 5 sides and a low height, the contact areas for the ratchet are 5 somewhat wide points.
Strengths:
Stamina: Generally due to the shape and its OWD (outwards weight distribution) it can have greater stamina than other ratchets giving Beyblades more balance.
Defense: Due to being 5 sided and thick, this ratchet has some of the best defense out of all the ratchets and only really is worse than 9 sides due to how 9 sides is exposed.
Low Height: It is one of the lowest height ratchets, making it a great use for attack combinations or other low height setups depending on context.
Weight: 2.3g
Design: As Flat is well...flat its simple design works well for X for attack. Flat is a bit bottom that has a flat bottom with an indent on there, and features a stat of 80 for high Burst resistance.
Strengths:
Great attack bit for Beyblade X: The Flat Bit is well-suited for aggressive playstyles and can be effective in offensive strategies.
Uses the Xtreme Dash gimmick easily: The Bit works well with the Xtreme Dash performance tip, allowing for high speed and KO potential.
Able to pick up strong speeds and KO: The Bit excels in achieving high rotational speeds, making it proficient at knocking out opponents from the stadium.
Burst Resistance: Due to being a Bit with a 80 Stats in Burst resistance this makes this bit great to use due to minimal Burst risk.
Weaknesses:
Low stamina: The Bit may not be ideal for battles that require endurance, as it lacks stamina. Stamina is important for outlasting opponents in long battles. In the context of a battle if you get your hits at the start and don't miss you have nothing to worry about.
Vulnerability to self-KO: If the Bit is hard-launched and catches the stadium path, it can self-KO, which is a potential weakness. Control and technique are important when using this Bit.
Gameplan:
Flat launch or a somewhat tilted angle shoot: To maximize the effectiveness of this Bit, you can employ a flat launch or a slight angle to utilize the stadium's gimmicks and aim for knockouts.
Generally with Flat: You can do either flat shoot or tilt on case by case basis depending if you want to try to focus on the Xtreme Line to try and KO or try to destabilize and harm the opponent.
Overall: Flat is the go to for basic attack combos and does the job well enough, it is a must have for any bladers running attack combos.
Overall
Bear Scratch is extremely sad for how the blade was handled, it improves on Rhino Horn by making it far more aggressive in shape to be used for more attack combos but gave it worse weight. While it is possible that the blade could have potential it fails due to the poor weight that it has making it useless to consider for anything. While 5-60 is a solid ratchet and Flat being a great bit to use for attack if you are getting the stadium set for just this Beyblade it is something that should only be considered as a collectors item.
