But both these arguments are still flawed even if good in theory. There are simply not enough, and there would never be enough parts to create a diverse and balanced meta, in Beyblade, there has always been a few, dominant combinations like currently, it is hS combos, last year there was mG and Ωuter. There can never be as many possibilities as a chessboard has so many possibilities, so there can never be true strategy. And launcher strength being an athletic aspect cannot be very viable for very long. Even if the launchers don't skip teeth if we launch too hard the beys would just self KO as shown in a video by the BBG (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YkhJR1X2Kk&t=619s) We must also consider the public opinion on Beyblade. Many adults may not even know what Beyblade is and many people who have had Beyblades as a kid consider it a kids toy/meme. When I brought my Beyblades to school it was apparent this was true. Beyblade, as it is now, will never become an Olympic sport and needs to give more control to the player over his/her bey to remotely be considered a sport.
can't agree more. while i tried to give suggestions, im still of the opinion that this is too big for us
but
about the 'diverse meta not possible' part, i think i am in a little disagreement. right it is based on a few parts like aH_Et, hS etc. but imagine this. instead of a single company like TT designing all parts, there are local shops that do just that. kinda like the 3D printing service. people like crazy aries and burst 3D printer and xandork are already doing it.
if that were to become the case then even if the parts are inspired by the same gimmicks(like orbit, bearing, extreme, destroy) there will still be quite a lot of variance in there function because everyone will make them in their own ways. there would be so many layers out there we might have to come up with a registration system. also a no copy rule might be applied.
even though discs might not have had as much possibilities, with frames they do.
if we were to introduce the metal era, even better. its almost impossible for that system to run out of ideas. for starters we could just reproduce every burst part in a reiteration.
all of this may make one believe in the ordered (beyblade)world of a balanced meta, but again for this to happen beyblade must first be accepted by nearly everyone in the world
oh i forgot about self ko
now when i talked about higher rpm launchers i did have the bbg high speed launcher in mind.yeah even pretty stationary stamina types go aggressive but having a bigger stadium should help. also current anime stadiums are still small. if you remember metal saga, there stadiums could have been lakes dried up for beyblading. still having real life burst sized stadiums is enough i think(they are quite big, but not absurdly so).
also the hardest launcher im thinking of is way, way more powerful than the bbg high speed launcher. kinda like crossing 200,000rpm. that spin speed alone makes it an 'adult sport/hobby' with a lot of additional gear required for protection(even a cage, so the flying beys don't stimulate 'kill the stickman' games).
all that said, i think its nearly impossible right now unless some people in our community are associated to Elon musk(and musk is a blader himself)
