Acting Out a Fight That's Already Over: How Spinblade X Moves Its Spintops
The winner, every hit and the payout are decided before the tops launch. How we make the fight look real anyway, and why we stopped trying to make it identical.
Spinblade X
Pick your spintop and watch it fight. Clashes build your combo, and the biggest finish pays out.
About the game
Spinblade X is a battle arena for spintops. Choose your top from the carousel, set your bet mode, and the battle plays out in a 3D arena. Your top launches at full Shoot Power, and that power drains as the fight goes on, so every battle ends.
Each hit damages both tops. Landed hits build your energy and your combo, and a full energy meter forces the next strike to a critical. A miss deals no damage and resets your combo. The round finishes with a Spin (the power runs out, ×1), an Over (a ring-out, ×2) or a Burst (a shatter, ×4).
You don’t steer the fight. Your choice is the spintop and the mode, and the battle does the rest.
