I am kind of sick of seeing black spikes on every code 2 these days. Also, I was fairly disappointed that the Code2 didn’t come out with unique and new side effects along with it. ---

Well, it makes sense to me since black is a pretty nuetral color and works with everything. But, I agree. I was a little disappointed that my shutterfly code 2 still had the black se’s. I mean, the colorway is based on My Little Pony. Yellow, pink splash, blue speckle…and then plain black se’s? I was hoping for purple or something equally wacky, but you couldn’t see the se’s in the pic. ---

Black goes with everything. ---

An in depth analysis of an extensive marketing survey showed black to be the best choice. ---

I personally like the look of silver metals. I think the aluminum spikes on my 54 look sweet. I have a black set of spikes that came as part of the BST deal I did for a DANG. I like the aluminum Dietz side effects in my Dietz. I don’t think everyone is going to go nuts for colors. But, I will say, the right color on the yoyo can really make the yoyo’s look pop. If I had opted to get a black DANG, I think red side effects would look nice. Once I get my Code 2, I’ll figure out what I do or don’t like regarding the side effects. But, it’s a dark yoyo, a Zombie Thunderstorm. I think the contrast with the various brighter colors swirled through out, I think that will brighten it up sufficiently. ---

[quote=“BlackIce967,post:1,topic:37623”] I hear that handsome loon who designed it just really likes the spike side effects and thought it didn’t make sense to come up with a new side effect just for the sake of coming up with a new side effect. ---

Seems like that dashing, swoon-inducing fellow had a fair point, as far as I’m concerned. I’ve played two CODE 2 setups, and preferred the spike over the other (can’t remember what it was). ---

If only someone could come up with a way to change out side effects… 🙂 The color goes with almost anything and spikes are my favorite SE’s so I’m not complaining. Although, a new SE for such a special new yoyo would have been nice too. ---
