This will be kind of a short tournament report since it was a very short tournament. 

We ended up with only 6 participants.  This is understandable as we started pretty late after the main Burst standard tournament ended a bit later than I anticipated.  

I decided to play in BB-10 stadiums this time over the Tornado Balance stadium to see the difference between the 2 in this format.  Main take away: attack definitely got a buff.  

Since there were only 6 participants and late in the day we decide to run round robin only.  

After five rounds we have the following  winning combos:

1st: Shindog
- Circle upper.CWD defense ring.Grip Flat
-Samurai upper.CWD free defense ring.Bearing Core 2
-wolf crusher.CWD reverse defenser.Bearing Core

2nd: UltimateMaster 
-Advanced survivor.CWD reverse defenser.Bearing Core

3rd: Mitchjett
-Circle upper.Circle Wide.Bearing Core

My main observation was the flower pattern you can shoot with these HMS beys are just amazing with the Grip Flat.  I am by no means a pro at attack but these beys on a BB-10 just flower so well by themselves it seems.  

HMS is really a ton of fun.  I think all who played will agreed.  Obviously, the availability of HMS makes it hard to get into, but it just such a fun format.  I hope to do more HMS tournaments soon and I hope to grow the format a little more in the LA community.  

Thanks everyone for coming out and staying late.  See you all soon!

Grip Flat Core is certainly awesome! Although I think one of the most unfortunate things when we compare things between series is that the Burst BeyStadium Standard Type stadium slope is shallow. Stadiums like BB-10 (which is literally called "Attack Stadium" lol) have a steeper slope, which is better for Attack types. If you've ever tried Burst in the BB-10 you'll see how OP attack is (there's other factors too, but the slope helps). The BeyStadium Standard Type is fine, but I still wish TT would release a legit "Attack Stadium" for Burst. People place so much emphasis on X part being too powerful when really, the stadium we play in holds much power when it comes to determining what is going to be successful.

Haha don’t know why I never once thought to try Burst in the BB-10 variants.  I guess I generally focus on what is legal for tournament play, but an excellent point.

Awesome Report! Thanks so much for letting me borrow the Beyblade!

The greatest story of all time didn’t start with ‘Once Upon a Time’ it started with ‘Welcome to the world of Beyblade’ instead.

Oh yeah, my favorite thing in the world is Beyblade! (And writing)

Yeah, we tried it once after a tournament because we wanted to see if it would be fun to do a tournament in Burst with it (this was back when Attack was really terrible in Burst) ... but we concluded that it made Attack a bit too powerful even back then.
