Hm, the previous hiatus was at least two-years long.

I wasn't here even when Pre-HWS was the "in" system. What was HMS like? Was there much dedication or anything to it like there has been with HWS?

How do I still have 17th most posts here...?

Thank you. Well.... I sure hope the hiatus, if there is one, only a year and not two. The Beyblade series are a true contender in the battle toy department.

However long it is and however soon it is, I really hope you will keep your word, because that is really cool, hah. Of course we would suffer a certain 'depression' of activity, but it would also bring us less newbies, so I am confident we can have an awesome time even then.

I have no intention of going anywhere any time soon, series end or otherwise - I still have more than a hundred Beys to collect, and I'm not really keeping up with current releases(in a purchase sense) anyway.

Moreover, the competitive portion of this metagame will likely continue to have new discoveries made within it for a long time. As time stretches on, people start trying more unorthodox things, often finding new uses for things previously thought silly.

Anyone who doesn't get my point, go check out Bistool. Maybe some day, Dark Wolf will be the new Bistool.

And then I'll run for King of Everywhere and win by landslide vote, ushering in an era of free pasta with every Oldsmobile.

Some manner of Octopus.

Beyblades and Transformers are really the only toys I like, TBH.

Of course I'll stay.

I'm not going down, I'm standing my gro- I mean, I'm not going away anytime soon! My Beyspirit has been reignited for over a year now after it fell dormant for 4! Plus, I have the HMS and 4D series to collect, so I can sell all my beys and keep only Maximum series, random RB beys, all 4D x2 (one for use, other for collection) with extra of rubber parts and all HMS.

You know, I wonder how the face contest turned out, since it's been a month since the contest ended. How do you think you guys did, if you entered? I thought mine was pretty good, but I don't have the artistic skills, despite hand drawing. Plus, I don't have a quality set of colored pencils, so I used Paintbrush (Mac Paint) to color the bit protector, customize weight disk and attack ring. There were so many good entries too! How about you all?

"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)

Too many good entries even that the committee have troube time to select the best..XD
haha..Fogot's one looks very nice indeed..

Just remember that the US is significantly behind in the airing of episodes, so even if MFB were to end in Japan by year's end we (in the US at least) might still be able to enjoy increased membership for another year or more depending on how long the series takes to completely air here in the US. Of course they would by the necessity of self selection be uber noobs... so much for that wish!

I also agree with Hazel's take on the metagame. With new beys coming out so frequently, it has taken a great deal of testing effort just to keep up with the more or less obvious new advances based on new parts - and most bladers haven't even done that. I too am convinced that there are many layers (if you will forgive the pun) of strategic use that have been widely missed just based on the pace of change.

On a much less serious note...
Perhaps with that extra time people will be able to perfect the otherwise unattainable super secret special launch techniques necessary to achieve the mythical 100% win rate for meteo XF vs basalt bd145...?

Last time, Takara waited for the dubbed anime (around that time, at least) before announcing that Beyblade production was suspended. Hasbro still did not have time to release some HMS, but when Takara makes the decision to suspend Beyblade production, it is worldwide, not just in Japan, so they were probably considerate and waited for the popularity in Western countries to end as well.

Still, in terms of releases there would be nothing that new to discuss if TAKARA-TOMY were to end Metal Fight Beyblade and just wait for Hasbro to do so as well.

Fair enough. Perhaps at that point we give Akirasdaddy a huge bonus by allowing his "street fighter" mods to be used. LOL

In any event, I agree with your earlier sentiment that there will still be plenty to do. And if I have anything to say about it (in my neck of the woods anyway) there will still be plenty of tournaments as long as people still have blader spirit!

what with all the tourney in melbourne and sydney theirs one like veryday while the rest if the country dont get squat it just seem unfair for all the brisbane and south austrlia bladers

Melbourne and Sydney have tournaments because people can be bothered to organize them. If you want a tournament, make it happen yourself.

Spoiler (Click to View)

May I just point out that Australia had more tournaments than any other country?

Because I just did.

Suckit, rest of the world.

Australia is a fraud.

I have very good visual memory, I still remember Valentin's father's credit card number.

Man Chaos Blader, you really suck.

Haha! Well, even I do not plan to go away early on!
Reasons-
I have to buy more beys.
I haven't attended a single tourney yet.
I love this site and all the members around here.
Hasbro is yet to release the beys.
The anime hasn't been dubbed yet.
Blah blah blah blah.....

I do have to wonder what effect Hasbro's Looney Tune Release Methods would have on this. If TT only waits until they theoretically produce the final wave, then the whole section of Hasbro Bladers would be shafted for another full year at least.

may be they are going to release a new sag. I saw this on TT blog. A draft of a new sag, yes? (judging on the eye)

I am quite sure that was just one of the sketches that led to the Prototype Nemesis design.

I was just thinking someone should do a comparison of Bearing Core /Bearing Core 2 and B's solo spin times. It wouldn't help the metagame in any way but it still would be good to see which part is better.

There are some varying factors that would make the comparison invalid though, like the probably high difference of weight between the series, how that weight is distributed along the Wheel or Attack Ring to provide Flywheel Effect, etc.

You can't really compare those parts accurate being as they are from different generations. You'd have to have identical parts to compare just the Bearing tips.

I see you haven't bothered to host a tournament, so why are you so offended that no one else has? The reason they haven't is likely similar to the reason you haven't.

Want tourneys? Do it yourself.

My dream is to be in someone's lol Quotes in their sig

I've grown very tired with Beyblade, as evident by my lack of posts. I had fun while it lasted, but nostalgia only got me so far. There is no competitive scene in Texas, and I can't get one started. It makes me sad to leave and pursue other, more active hobbies, because Beyblade was such a part of my childhood but it seems I'm going to have to.

I'm debating selling my stuff, so I guess I'll start a topic in the morning. :\
