I'm surprised I wasn't asked to help in my spare time I like to test a lot of combos. Sure my rank is 29 compared to everyone else who is somewhere above 20 in the rankings though late 2019-2020 was very good for me competitive wise though tbh I have no problem with your choice lol. Again a very great article if you ever do something with people contributing again I might be able to help.
Thank you! Yeah, it was really interesting collecting everyone's feedback. It was all done independently so the personal lists you see on the article were all submitted without them knowing what others had picked.
Sorry I didn't ask you! The criteria for being selected were quite rigorous. Among Burst Format 2019/2020 data you had to have some combination of the following: have among the most entries on the winning combinations list, among the most first place finishes, be within the Top 25, have among the most tournaments hosted. I knew the article was going to take me a long time to assemble (it took me over 30 hours) and I only had so much time ... so I went with the five people who best matched these criteria because it seemed like if I was going to ask five people, they would be the ones able to best represent what the "best" Beyblade Burst combos were because of their experience.
Of course, I realize there are many other active and great players out there too. So, while the list in my article is meant to be as definitive as possible in a certain sense, what I want more is for it to serve as a starting point for discussion and players to think more deeply themselves about what the "best" combos are and why.
And thanks for posting your list in the comments on the article! I'll try and reply soon.
