Does C3 and YYR share designers or something? The new yoyo they just announced, the accelerator, is literally shaped just like a Draupnir without bimetal on it, and the art/font on it is the Same too. Coincidence? I think not. ---

Accelerator is according to them based on the PWave. There was a pre-release in HK and mainland China a few months ago and nobody there seemed to link it with your teh derpnir. The numerous reviewers there was apparently content [comparing it only to the PWave](http://www.91yoyo.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=299138). The font of ‘accelerator’ appears partially serif’d which in retrospect was probably one of the reasons I never thought it as runic. I can see why people think they’r similar when isolated from the sorta vector field thing logo tho. tl;dr step straight v shape is common and draupnir is overhyped. also, gungnir and czm8 exists ---

The accelerator is extremely based off the P-Wave. And yes, I agree, draupnir is overhyped. But the gungnir came after the draupnir. ---

Seems like a 6061 PWave with what they described as a slight rounding off on an edge or something. If they put a blast on it, I would insta-buy. :wink: ---

> [@kadabrium](#): > > the prerelease version i have plays nothing like a pw accually I believe it. Strictly the shape I mean. Swap out the metals and make even small changes to the dimensions and it’s not going to play the same. I think it’s PROBABLY hyperbole to say they play “nothing” alike. I mean, my Valor plays _something_ like my '07 888. :wink: ---

Yeah… I mean I guess they both spin… ---

I was also being hyperbolic… but two yoyos with identical shapes, slightly different weights and diameters… they’re not likely to play light years apart or anything. The mind is a crazy thing. But lest my point be taken wrong, overall I DO believe kadabrium that they played differently. That’s the main point I was making. I just have a habit of nitpicking, and I was nitpicking on the words “nothing like”.
