I hated the catalyst. I own a supernova (I’ve tried yoyos, but my only expensive metal is the supernova) I like it alot. And I did try the 888x, but a super long time ago… Any way, I’d go with supernova, maybe 888x ---

If you have a chief none of these will be an upgrade unless your chief is beat. They will be different. But really, for YYF Superstar or Genesis are two good bets. ---

Better performance, comfortable shape, inner grind ring, plus it looks nicer imo and without the noisy hubstacks (which really aren’t necessary). Whilst I haven’t tried an 888x, I’ve tried a Boss which has very very similar stats and shape, as well as a Skyline which again, has similar stats and shape. I was rather dissapointed by both of these and it further proved that for the most part you just can’t get the same stability or spin out of an undersized throw as you can from a full sized or oversized one (although I’ve yet to try a YYR Messiah or Spyy Supra). Also I’ve heard mixed reviews of the 888x and some of them were less than favourable. If you know that you like smaller throws, or you explicitly prefer the look of the 888x then go for it. But if you are unsure and you want the best performance (stability and spin) then the Supernova is the better option hands down. I use my trusty blue Supernova Lite as my daily walkaround carry for a reason… it’s a delight to throw. ---

I haven’t tried the other two, but I have a 7075 Supernova, and if you’re looking for pure performance you definitely can’t go wrong with the 7075 Supernova, It’s really a good yoyo, on par with some of the best throws out there. It’s really stable, solid, quick, and has great spin/momentum. The 7075 Catalyst is great too, look into it. I think of the three you mentioned, the 7075 supernova is probably the only I can see people still competing with 5 years from now. Plus, not only does 7075 (arguably) play better, it’s stronger too. ---

If you still haven’t realized or made a decision yet your best bet would be the supernova. ---

The Supernova and Catalyst could not be more different from the 888x. The Supernova and Catalyst are full sized yoyos designed for competition. While I personally love the 888x, it just can’t compete with those 2. So I would say 888x if you want to have fun, and the Supernova or Catalyst if you have the intention of competing.
