I like Japanese throws. I own work by Shinobu Konmoto for God’s sake–Whose regarded as one of the most talented yoyo modders in the World… Do you think I would drop coin on such things if I disliked Japanese throws? Even more than I like Japanese throws… I like Japanese players. They are the true stars… not the yoyo. I also love Japanese culture. I only use Japanese parts for my arcade sticks. Are you starting to realize the problem doesn’t lie in anything that has to do with Japan? Do you realize if this thread was about a One Drop Code 2 and someone said “The Code 2 performs like a Ferrari and the Stealth Ogre is a Hyundai”–that I would still hold the same position, but in this case I would defend the Stealth Ogre.
Note: I hate the Code 2, but I would still be in the same “Prove it to us” position. Cuz, in that hypothetical situation; a company is being trashed in the wake of another company. Do you see where my position lies now?
I have tried -many- yoyo’s at yoyo club, including a vast array of Japanese throws, some you may be familiar with… Positron, Six, Sleipnir, Leviathan, Basilisk, Diffusion (wouldn’t count it but throwing it out there), StarGAZER (haven’t tried the Stargeyser), Messiah, Double Joker, Luminous. Is that enough?? → those are just ones off the top of my head. I’ve tried my fair share…
Here’s one I really want to try but can’t find anyone who has one; A Checkmate by Yoyo Monster. So you could say, there are Japanese throws I’m very much looking forward to trying!
Here’s my point. I am not one to say “The Stealth Ogre is a Ferrari and Burnside is a Hyundai”. If I were to say the same stuff, I would hope someone say something to me about it. Do I run around calling everyone out who writes a review on a Japanese throw?
Am I going to call someone out who trashes on an off-topic company to express their favored company is better? Yes. This is the very basis for FOUR DIFFERENT PEOPLE wanting to see a Video of the Stealth Ogre strutting it’s stuff.
I already accepted. Do you not read anything I write? If not, that would explain a lot.
To everyone who actually reads this! If I say “General-Yo rocks, your favorite company eats dirt in comparison!” I would hope YOU (who ever is reading this) come up to me and say “Settle down there bud, prove it”
