Was it really "Shumon" though ? "Simon" is pronounced a certain way in English, but almost every other language will pronounce it in a way slightly similar to 'Sumon', basically, so perhaps it was meant to be 'Simon' all along.

His official romaji from B-Daman's page are 'Syumon' (they haven't made any mistakes there yet). Also he has two pages which makes it even less likely for it to be meant to be 'Simon'..
The ones responsible for the first subs spelled it 'Shumon' because it's pronounced that way and his character page didn't exist back then.
I was just wondering if crash b-daball is the same size as xcross fight b-daball?
I think Crash had multiple sizes for B-Dama. I could be wrong though. I'll look into it.

I thought all B-Dama were the same...? (Except for Hasbro's new Crossfire ones, they look plastic)

I know in like 2007, they had metal ones, right?
For 2007's Metal B-Daman, they used Metal B-Dama, yes.

Crash B-Daman used the regular size B-Dama as well. I had to check that, as I know some of the barrels on the Crash B-Daman were differently sized.

EDIT: I'm sure sure whether Kai-V will allow me to post this here or not, but I'm going to do it anyway and remove it if she requests it.

As there isn't really a home for B-Daman discussion anymore since the previous forum kinda...disappeared(?), I've taken the liberty to create a new forum which can be found at http://forum.bdamanwiki.com/

As I only started it up yesterday, it's rather limited and the theme is extremely ugly (Hooray for default!) but I'm working on that now. There's only three of us there at the moment, but if you're an avid B-Daman fan, you're free to join! Thank you Smile
I had posted a link to a b Daman forum I had created here awhile ago, and we have a few members, and are fairly active.

Though it is primarily for cross fight...
Oh, I had not seen, my apologises. Awkward moment...
Haha, it's fine Smile
Anyway, as people have been saying, the dub voices aren't half bad. Can't wait for the show to really start!
It starts tomorrow. I'm hoping someone will post the episode online, but we'll have to wait and see :3
Official B-daman Crossfire facebook page is apparently up here, spread the word
An important post regarding dub renames which I'm importing from our Forum.
I really don't understand these renames...
Save Kakeru, there hardly a difference.
You're overlooking Subaru's name change completely...that's a complete overhaul to a name that, while still being Japanese, makes no sense.
Well yah, but it sounds like the name change is just a little kid pronouncing it wrong.
Personally, I would have liked English names, but I may be the only one, haha.
According to the Website, BDamanbattles.com , the full site/app will be up next month, with the toys in August. I expect to see them, possibly, in mid July.

That site has been up for a good two months now, it's nothing new. We already know that toys should hit stores on August 1st, so don't get your hopes up so much for July.
I have a few left over from the old system, does the new one have anything similar to Direct Hit Battle?
Not really, which stinks.
I'm just starting out with b-daman so could someone tell me what a good starting b-daman would be? Thanks!
