Will the new thread revolve solely on Metal Fury ?
Have we developed a strong basis on a tier list ?
What are the recommended stadiums ? I have an LF and SVS, has Meteor Fire and Ripgrind/Graffiti Den shown good potential ?
And last but not least, this is more of a solid statement than a question. Everybody has to contribute Attack type combos. The Hasbro metagame, the way I see it, is not very healthy. And are there any beyblades which out balance the metagame ? If so, we should look into nerfing or banning such parts, if neccessary.
At this point, I do not know what stadium types are being produced. the main focus of stadium testing was originally Lightning Force, MXS (NC) and Dragon's Den, as they had the best shape and slope. Striker stadium received poor results to my knowledge, but Destroyer was never tested. At this point, I think any unproductive stadiums should be forbidden from testing, and the main focus should be on the stadiums we know do well as well as the untested stadiums.
I remember last time there was a bug fight about stadium legality here...instead of only allowing some stadiums, or allowing all stadiums, maybe we should just allow everything EXCEPT for gimmick stadiums such as Burning Firestrike? Also, perhaps we should disallow MXS, as I am sure a lot of the test results involving MXS were fabricated or misleading...
Now, to get straight to your questions
Metal Fury will be a large focus, but not the sole focus. there are still some things left over from Metal Masters to test, and there are a lot of stadium tests left over
We have a very poor tier list. Rai and myself have a general understanding of what should be there, but as of right now, nothing is conclusive, as not enough people did tests. Just remember for attack types, more stamina and weight is better, along with high recoil for hasbro meta. A good example would be Rock ___125SF. The only exception is left-spin-stealers like MLD CH120LRF. And in smaller stadiums like SVS, RF and R2F combinations with high recoil wheels tend to end battles quickly, if everything goes well.
let me be clear about this. If this new meta thread is to be successful, the sole focus must be attack testing. No defense, no stamina, just attack.
Basically, my main feelings are that all stadiums should be legal EXCEPT for gimmick stadiums, MXS test results should be considered with extreme caution due to the existence of 2 stadiums, and that only attack type testing should be performed as Defense and Stamina Customizations will be identical to Takara's meta.

From my experience, pretty much any rubber bottoms are useless. However, last time I played in a hasbro stadium, of launched properly, attack types using F, HF, XF, and possible MF did fairly well.
Also, which stadium or stadiums will be used for testing? If there are a few that I have access too, I will be glad to help.
Rubber tips, if used correctly, can have minor use. But again, they are EXTREMELY under tested.
