Mega Brands try to make a spiritual successor to Beyblade, but they didn't do it right.

I was looking at some videos on the Battle Strikers website, when I found out about this tournament program, the StrikerSociety. It's kinda like the WBBA, in one way or another.

When you join it, you get a free Battle License. As you win battles in StrikerSociety tournaments, you can earn stamps on your License, and if you get twenty stamps, you'll earn the limited edition Battle Striker Black Widow. Plus, you'll also get a gold Super Balance tip, just for signing up.

OK, but that does not exist or work anymore ...

I kinda figured that out, since they stopped making Battle Strikers

You know what they could've done asides from developing the product a bit more? Making a TV series of it

I agree with a lot of the criticism though unfortunately I'm not in a position to speak too much about it. If I had joined while the product was being developed I think we could have done something much greater -- unfortunately Series 1 basically sealed the fate of the whole line, and it was not very good.

That said, Battle Strikers is still in production for Europe, where it's doing quite well.

Whaaat its still going on? I wonder if there's any tournaments there.

but you will inevitably get the huge, disgusting flock of "n00bs" who will make, simply written, posts that will make you want to kill yourself from their horrible quality and content.

LOL

Me too, and if what Brad said is true, then Battle Strikers isn't dead yet!

I was just @ Walmart here in Toronto the other day and saw that they have the XS series. I'm not really in a financial situation to buy any right now though which sucks because they look really cool. Still haven't seen the mecha FX series though u_u;

On their website I see there are tops now that launch with a ripcord instead of the battery powered launchers ::lol::

I would honestly advise you to focus your money on Beyblade, even though I love Battle Strikers. There are no truly NEW models coming out now or in the future as far as I know.

even though I love Battle Strikers.

so THAT'S why people keep mentioning Battle Striker names on the WBO.

No, it's because Bey Brad works for Mega Bloks as well, which originally helped make Battle Strikers. He was known as 'Battle Brad' on there.

Of course, loving the sport helps too.

"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends. Last night, I experienced something new: an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about fine cooking is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's famous motto, "Anyone can cook." But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist; but a great artist can come from anywhere."

-Anton Ego/Peter O'Toole (1932-2013)

I can agree with you on this one, Ga'Hooleone!

I was making my usual internet rounds in search for eternal life, and access to all information, and came across this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeAuBg6l_so . This means that the infamous hyper strike trio may finally hit American shelf's. Also a possibility for completely new strikers. So what do you guys thing this will do for the franchise rise or fall?

Please be a hit. Please be a hit. Please be a hit. It's been so long I want these to do so well I love Battle Strikers they're so awesome. (obsession?)

Let's hope everyone would have forgotten by now about the 1st series of Battle Strikers... they were awful. (impressions are so important) They could have done better if it wasn't for the fact that many people just couldn't live with the fact Beyblade wasn't the only spinning top toy -.-

After they got the touch of Brad they were so fun

If you buy them you won't be dissapointed

Wow.... Looks like I'll get that fabled fourth Battle Striker at Target (being one of these).

One thing I liked about Battle Strikers were their closest likeness to assembling a plastics Beyblade. Awesome.

Fabled forth Striker? Elaborate.

I didn't get into them very much..... I have two Series 1 tops and one Metal XS. The fourth one could be one of these if I don't find another rogue Series 1 top at Target (Heh, the Target near me had regular Metal Fusion even five months into Metal Masters).

Plus, Target has been iffy, oddly enough, with stocking Battle Strikers even before they went dead.

Maybe it would be cool if they made a mini-series about battle strikers, like the main character is a nerd at school but he is a master at battle strikers so he enters a tournament where there is a character who destroys strikers to get parts to make the ultimate combo.

Yes a TV Series would have helped it. Battle striker's was trying to copy Beyblade in a way but wasn't successfull.

The first time you see me will be the first time you feel fear.

Battle Strikers and Beyblades are two different things. I don't see where you guys can say "Battle Strikers was trying to copy Beyblade but failed."

Yes, they're both spinning tops but that does not mean one is trying to copy the other.

At my Local Walmart they have no more "Beyblades" all they have is the XTS, IR Spin control and the Tornado Battlers. The whole section is taken over by the Battle Strikers. And they go pretty fast haha. Unfortunately I have no more money to get into another costly hobby

Just kidding, welcome to the WBO and have fun ;)

It means you're developing an amazing super power that allows you to make hyper sonic jaw pops, launching enemies farther than 60 feet!

It's probably nothing, but you should ask your doctor next time you go. I just hope you use your powers for good and not evil...
