I understand that!
I wanna just run through the rest of the yoyos I have on my worlds list, list is big and I don’t wanna go through each one day by day
CLYW x Duncan | Peakhand PC | C-Tier
Like the al peakhand but without the cool splashes.
SUS Yoyo Mechanics | Generator FD | A-Tier
Highly performant but fatiguing to play with. Powerful, controllable, not crazy fast with surprisingly comfortable maneuverability. A bit boring.
SUS Yoyo Mechanics | Transmission | A-Tier
Undersized done right. Powerful and unique in that it’s such a powerful and capable undersized yo-yo. Nicely maneuverable and quick. It’s just overshadowed by other models, and it’s kind of cylinder-y and heavy-feeling.
C3Yoyodesign | Ambition | B-Tier
Good, but painfully average and heavy feeling. All boss no sauce.
Duncan | Crescendo | A-Tier
The modern Shutter vs Horizon is the Evolve vs Crescendo. Here’s my vote.
Light and kinda hollow feeling. Good, but not for me.
TopYo x SUS | Neo Classic | B-Tier
Good yoyo but god it’s heavy and boring
Ensoyoyos | Bapehidora(?) | A-Tier
Fast, maneuverable, solid. Just wish it were slightly bigger so it had more power.

I’m interested in the Crescendo and I’m curious. What about it isn’t for you? And I wonder how it compares to the Ultracut or the Evolve. Do you have a thought about this?
And how would you compare the Grasshopper GTX 2.0 and the YYFr Nucleon?
In any case, thanks for the rankings and reviews!

While I’m a bit disappointed by the Ambition, I kind of expected it based on the way it’s designed.
Was wondering where the TopYo Faceless ranks in your tier list btw? I saw you mention it was one of your favourite plastics and I had already ordered one, but was wondering where it lands/your quick thoughts on it

It was mostly just how hollow it felt when I played with it. Not in the pathos-ridden way people use to describe yoyos when they think it’s boring/uninteresting, but literally it felt hollow. Just a bit too light and hollow feeling for me, not enough presence.
It’s been a while since I’ve played with a Ghopper 2.0 so I can’t say for certain, but what I remember is that the Ghopper was extremely powerful. My memory tells me it was more powerful than how the Nucleon feels, but that’s based purely off of memory.
I genuinely thought I had done a review on the faceless or had already placed it. Oops. It’s good. Stick around for when I actually place it, I guess lol.

Will happily await the review while waiting for mine to arrive!

Compared to the ultracut its a lot less rim weighted and feels more floatier. Very controlled feeling and doesnt move as fast

The comparison of the ghopper2.0 and nucleon is accurate. The hopper oozes power to an almost unnecessary amount.
Gingie review of Flying Lemon when?

I like the Crescendo. The only thing I’m not a fan of is how it binds. I even use OT Sitanggang string and it’s still slippy.
He will despise it.

Yeah, it will score low on Zontals
It’s been months. Shall I revive this thread with a new review? Apologies for being absent. This semester has been rough, and lately I feel like six hours pass in two.

Something reliable that I’ve kept in my bag regularly and reach for regularly. It’s an easy yoyo to overlook, given that it’s in a category flush with so many yoyos (cheap, sub-$30 plastic yoyos), even on the desk; it’s easy to forget about. What’s the Faceless when the SHXX is right there? What’s the Faceless when the AOE is right there?
But the joy of this yoyo is that when you look at it, you think, “I’m gonna play for a sec.” When you’re up late working on something, you look at your Faceless and think, “I’m gonna sesh for like 10-15 minutes”. When you’re running out the door for the day, you look at the Faceless and think, “May as well toss it in the bag for the day.”
It’s a great yoyo for that sort of thing.
Would I say it’s more performant than the AOE? Not really. Is it a monometal in plastic form? Not exactly. But I will say that’s a great yoyo for getting the job done.
In terms of play, what really makes it great is three things: Control, stability, and power.
It doesn’t have a huge abundance of power, but it has enough.
It’s not inherently unstable; it’s very comfortably stable.
And the control is just nice.
Where the yoyo really takes it away is the extremely pleasant maneuverability and pacing. There’s absolutely nothing unexpected about the way this yoyo moves; it executes as you input, and it doesn’t fight you. Doesn’t feel heinously sluggish or excessively quick: it’s in a great Goldilocks zone.
The only thing it’s truly missing is some mm in width, I find myself wishing for just a bit more with zoning and zontals. A bit less of an “average” playstyle would make this yoyo a bit better as well.
Play: Everyone
Power: Powerful
Speed: Average
Controllability: Easy
Stability: Average
Value: Good
Bind: Average
Sturdiness: Average

Have you tried the enchanted phase1? the new hybrid bimetal for the Chinese female champ. Looks super neat
Can I nominate the 44EMPORIUM- Feather for SS? It outperforms everything else I have.
