General B-Daman Thread

out of the two, accell dracyan if you only have a few B-daballs.
Can't you just use normal marbles(I gots lots of them)
no, they have to be the correct size to be shot properly, otherwise they just roll out.
My marbles are the right size I tested them out with my friends one
I highly doubt they are the exact same size as a B-daball, likely it looks like it, but it wouldn't be as strong as a official B-daball.
Doesn't matter if there not strong as a official one and I'm sure my friend could lend my some of his.
So back to my original question which one should I buy Rev Dravise or accel Dracyan

it does matter if you can't actually shoot them properly, and accel dracyan.
I've decided to buy B-Daballs aswell as Accel Dracyan
good decision, if you get any other B-daman later one you can use them properly.
here is my latest cross fight B-daman design, Straight-Shot Uninova:

just thought it's a cool concept and thought you might like to see it.
@Nwolf:I like the concept, does it have a specific purpose?

Also, yesterday's demonstration at Game Underground went great. I got about 10 people to play, and a few of them came back to try again. Everyone I played with said it was a fun game, and the store owner said that if I keep doing it and it becomes popular enough there, I can hold tournaments there.

I'm also extending the invite to anyone in the New England area (or is willing to drive to Framingham MA), I'll be doing the B-Daman stuff next week too, and I'd love to see some B-Daplayers there as well. If anyone is interested, please PM me to RSVP beforehand, that way I can let the store know.
glad to hear about the demonstration, also I'll look on the map to see how far away it is from me.

Also it does have a purpose, it's a bit like how I think they could improve control, the horn is like Force Dragren, for accuracy, but the core is unique. The 3 silicone rods have 3 points that hold the ball in place, when you push the trigger all 3 points expand, not just 2 on either side, this makes the B-daball stay in the air longer, making it more likely to hit the target spot on in the middle. The arms are wider than normal for extra grip, and the bolts that keep it in place are in the arm underneath the plastic, and there is a gap in which you stick a rod in and twist to lock in place, making it stronger than the other B-daman. Also it's my B-daman I might use in a story on here.
I think i'm going to design some more ones, also my force dragren is very likely to come this week, so be ready for some reviewing and other things!
Nwolf , please do a video too. You guy are just so lucky that you guys have lots of chance to buy stuff. It is kinda cheap in USA Dollar, isn;t it? And VN is way more down then other,but I will try my best to spread this hobby In Hanoi, but it is quite hard work.
And BTW, Thanks BlackAce to help us expand the B-Daman community.
yeah i'm only lucky because I have my uncle. If it wasn't for him I would have nothing from Japan. also for me it's not cheap. £22 for force dragren, £20 for not main character ones like roll sasword. of course i'll do a video, anything I can do to help.

I do have my uncle there too but he is kinda busy, you know, oding researches and stuff.
It is still better than exchange that into VNdong, Anway, I have to apologize for not posting the ep14 earlier, you can check it out now,the Force Dragren owner is kinda "mystery" isn't it?
yeah I agree, but there is obviously a reason that will be explained later on in the plot, also My Force Dragren is late, was meant to be here today but no luck, if it isn't here by the end of the week, i'm going to check with the seller if it's going smoothly.
@Nwolf:Which seller did you use? Because if it's the one I'm thinking of, I'm still waiting on something from him too.

Anyway, a seller on Amazon has stocked a great amount of Cross Fight B-Daman items,ranging from the Tune Up Gear to the Field Sets. However, the lowest priced item on there is twenty dollars, and for some of these items, it's just not worth it when you can get an earlier version for cheaper at other online retailers. However, they do offer some rarities like the Metal Cores and a lot of the rarer Tune Up Gear (ex.the CB-25 Grip Arm) of which I have ordered some already (Metal Accel Core and Wide Magazine). Once I get them, I will be doing a review of the Metal Accel Core, testing it on all of my Cross Fight figures.
on ebay it's zeroF but I trust him as I've bought from him before, my spin leohjya, and also he has 100% it's just probably backlogged with all the sales on at the moment. Also I wanted to ask if any of you know where to buy the packs of B-daballs? I really need some but nothing on ebay.
I'm planning on making a B-Daman manga just about the B-daman stuff we do on here, and I was just wondering what you guys thought about the idea? but with like a plot behind it and our own B-daman.
@Nwolf:I like the idea, go for it.

I've also got some play time in with both Torque Beargar and Force Dragren. My impressions:

Torque Beargar is in essence the "stick-shift" power type. Where Accel Dracyan is easy to use for Power and creates a decent result, Torque Beargar is slightly more difficult to use, but creates a greater result. The power shot of the Torque Core comes from squeezing the side holds on the core, creating more tension, or "torque". This causes the shot to be much more powerful, but the rapid fire function is diminished greatly due to the tension needed to create the power shot. This B-Daman fills a rather niche function in the game, and though it fills it well, it doesn't serve a lot of purpose outside of that main function.

Force Dragren is the Control-type Dragon B-Daman, meaning that it has a featured Metal Core variant. The Core in question is the Force Core, which reintroduces a long-lost hold design to the B-Daman game. The design, originally seen in the Super B-Daman series, featured 2 holds on each side of the marble, for maximum grip and aim. This is supposedly augmented by the outer holds, in a cross formation. The Force Core does its job, and it does it well; it shoots the marble dead center with precision. The other main gimmick of this B-daman is the "Gravity Arm", which is an interchangeable arm function. The Arm parts are seperated into two parts each, an inner part and an outer part. Placing the outer part on the inner part facing up will give the B-daman its standard function. But, placing them so that they touch the ground will give more stability and grip,but less movement ability. This is ideal for this B-Daman, because it needs to be still to shoot it properly. Force Dragren is the third in the Dragon line, and it so far does not disappoint. Control players who need a stable B-Daman should consider this type.
when I get my Force Dragren you can leave it's research up to me, but can you please do some more research into the torque bearga statistics, aka how far it shoots a b-daball in comparison to other power types, how many B-daballs can be loaded and fired in 1 minute, thos kind of things.
my Force Dragren has arrived so maybe today/tommorow I'll get some testing done and i'll get back to you guys on the results.
Need more activity on this thread guys! also I would just like to say if you go to a beyblade tournament, ask the host if you could set up a B-daman demonstration alongside it, this way WBO members will become more interested...

True dat. Ill try it.

Anywho guys, can I get a list of wants? So I can check to set up a B-Daman page for you guys specifically filled with pre-orders...
Jaygrazer:I have need of the following-


CB-10 Tornado Magazine
CB-14 Roll Sasword
CB-15 Stroke Orochi
CB-24 Spin Leoja
CB-25 Grip Arm


Also, I've got hold of a Metal Accel Core and Wide Magazine. Here's my initial thoughts.

Metal Accel Core:Why this was sold seperately from the initial Accel Dracyan I do not know. It's a metal version of the Accel Core, sure, but other than that, it doesn't seem to add anything that the ordinary Accel Core lacks. In fact, the core I got doesn't seem to want to let me put my Power Mantle on it (It just falls/springs off). Unless you're a hardcore completionist, the Metal Accel Core is a waste of time.

Wide Magazine:This is a SIGNIFICANT upgrade from the Straight Magazine. While it only holds 2 more marbles from the Straight Mag (10 on the Wide, 8 on the Straight), the Wide Magazine's larger loading area allows for one to load large amounts of marbles in a short time, potentially allowing one to shoot 20,even 30 marbles in no time at all based on their B-Daman's rate of fire. The Wide Magazine also comes in the CB-04 Accel Dracyan DX set, meaning that it's an ideal budget accessory for Cross Fight beginners. Anyone who is serious about playing should own a Wide Magazine or two.
