That said, I actually think it's an amazingly excellent Idea, seeing as Kai-V gets a lot of our/her new info from Japanese boards IIRC, we'd have info sooner by having a dedicated forum here. Plus, as everyone's said, testing, more metagame/combo info. Plus, given there's no independent site, we might have something, with enough publicity.

I can guarantee you that you would not get news any sooner. I get most of my information sooner than when the majority of the Japanese fans learn about it. For instance, I had the first, although small images of Big Bang Pegasis and L Drago Destroy, as well as their full names, days, or even a week before any Japanese found them, and actually most of them just found the names, never the pictures ...

Well, anyway, the testing thing stands firm, and I'd imagine due to Coro-Coro being Japan based, we might even get tests of limited parts we haven't got much info on.
Plus, we'd get testing sooner, without having to pressure Oki into doing it every time a new beyblade is released

Team Final Hope

Its probably Stamina and Defense based on the vids I've seen.... Dang... Atk is dying.

Click here for the most classic thread on WBO of all time. Enjoy!

Strive for greatness.

Being near fluent in spoken Japanese, I can attempt to attract some Japanese users to the site via my YouTube. Since I'm a YT Partner, my material gets featured frequently, so once we get more Japanese users on board, then perhaps opening a Japanese forum can be taken into further consideration.

Just my two cents, and it feels good to be back.

Thank you Pyro for this sick sig~!!

Yay, Momo's back! But I personally like the idea of a Japanese forum. Provided that this gets approved, I guess it would be a good idea to start attracting some Japanese members here. Beybladejapan could help 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)

It would be good if beybladejapan actually made a new post after not posting for more than one week, and also tell us how the Japanese tournament went ... Even the Committee has no idea.
