Why would you use Basalt in this meta game...

Ga' · Feb. 03, 2013 6:30 PM

Probably didn't use GF because it's damn hard to control (speaking from experience, I got it after several rounds of testing), especially in a tournament situation where emotions and other uncontrollable factors can mess up the launch.

Basalt is actually rather decent, and is a nice bey to use for Hasbro-only people. It's still a fantastic Anti-Attack MW, as seen in the combo MF-H Basalt Horogium R145/TR145 RF/R2F.

"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."

Just now getting a chance to post. While I got knocked out of the tournament fairly early, I learned tons about the Metal Fight metagame, and will more thoroughly prepare for upcoming tournaments. Next time, I won't be out so quickly!

Thanks to everyone who gave me advice, practiced with me, etc. It was a blast, and one of the greatest things I wanted to go to as a child but never had the chance.

I translate Bakuten Shoot Beyblade and will (probably) do the same for Beyblade Burst as well. If you like my work, please considering donating so that I may continue to do so consistently! These episodes take time to do, and as a college student I can't always easily take time out of my schedule to work on them.

If you do donate, let me know in a PM so I can thank you with a quick sketch (unique to every donator).

Basalt Orion B:D actually got pretty far in the competition. It made it to the semifinals of the winners bracket before losing twice.

I had a GF as well, I thought about bringing it out against stormscorpio1 as Bahamdia Dragooon SP230GF, but changed my mind after I thought I would self-KO.
