I’m looking at those two yoyos right now but I’m not sure wich one should I get? Note: My favorite throws are Majesty and genesis and I have a Capella coming in the mail ---

888 it’s because I love more organic shapes but you can actually use the stacks on the epic for tricks cause they are so flippinn big. ---

The 888x is not worth the money. Considering you like the majesty and genesis, the shape of the EPIC is closer to a majesty than an 888 is. ---

The Ta-Tas of the Epic are the best hubstacks around. Period. The yoyo plays really nice too. I choose the Epic by miles. 888x is just not that nice of a yoyo. ---

If you were going to buy an 888x, buy a mint one off the BST and take advantage of the depreciation. Market price is about $50, half that of a new Epic. ---

[quote=“xmotoby,post:3,topic:48214”] On the other hand, when I’m looking for a new yoyo, I usually think to myself, “I want something totally unlike what I already own.” 🙂 ---

Epic all the way. I would never lie and tell anyone that the 888x is worth $100. It simply isn’t. The Raptor is a far better player for less than half the price. The 888x just doesn’t cut it. ---

The 888x doesnt play like 100 buck IMHO. Get the epic even if it is loud as @#$%
