they said it plays like a genesis, not looks like one. its like a genesis as in the way it plays, thats why everyone these days uses a genesis at competitions( i dont see the attraction) but yeah. and the dv888 and the northstar are COMPLETELY different, for one, the rims, for two, everything else. ---

Plus now I can kind imagine why people are saying it’s like the Plastic Genisis. The rims look much more present in the profile pics. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/3/0/b304bf2e6e8851153bf0659ecfd97c7b2c2cd3a1.jpeg) Though not quite as present as the Genisis rims, but still I see how they can be compared. ---

I didn’t say antone was a hater. I just said I was going to stop before anything happened to make me a hater magnet. It never fails when you push a point like this for to long then you get lots of negativity, and blah blah blah. So I’m just saying agree to disagree. We all good? ---

i kinda see what your talking about. They both have rims that dont have any curve at all. Neither have a rounded shape. But… The northstar rims are at an angle, the dv888 rims are flat the northstar walls/catch zone/whatever its called are much steeper than the dv888 (this is why i hated my protostar) ---

> [@Jehsee](#): > > i can see a similarity-ness look, not identical. which was the original claim correct? True I guess my initial claim sounded like the absolute twin idea, when I meant they hold quite a bit of similarity. Especially when veiwing the bearing seat photo rather than the profile pics as was later asked of me. ---

Especially when veiwing the bearing seat photo rather than the profile pics as was later asked of me. There is no bearing seat on the Northstar. It sits on spacers like the Protostar and PGM. Dv888 has a bearing seat. Northstar also has a way bigger axle. ---

Dv888 has a bearing seat. Northstar also has a way bigger axle. i dont believe he is talking about the actual bearing seat. i think he is talking about how there is a flat rim, then an angle into the flat body, then an angle into the guts area ---

Also i am getting very sick of every topic over the last 3 weeks being about the northstar its getting quite annoying.
