Not sure if I'm going....put me on unconfirmed.
Glad to see this finally got approved! Smile

As for the Metal Wheel side event, how about Rock?
Sure, thank you for the idea Primal.
Nevermind....its to far away i can't go.But hey...isn't vulcan blaze and titi hosting another?
Woohoo! Finally approved XD
Is it just me, or is anybody else here amazed at how much the Georgia meta is changing Grin
Also, I hope that our attack type users dont get discouraged by a stamina type winning last time :\
Im glad to be able to say that I have greately improved with Variares and Attack Types in general Smile
And btw, I'd suggest making a mass pm to everybody on the list that its been approved and that they can talk about it here, as I only found this by wondering around.
I just moved from Norcross on saturday, THANK GOD! ILL BE THERE!==
Awesome, I was wondering when this was going to get approved. Me and Warofautumn might be coming with a couple more people, so its safe to say the number of confirmed people can change. Having a passport gets you in for free right? I hope I see all of you there and good luck.

Georgia meta? As for discouragement in beyblade choice, it will always be this way. Having a stamina tip on your beyblade cuts so much risk out of your strategy that this alone makes it the most viable tip. There is no luck or skill involved with a beyblade that wants to sit in the middle and spin, but it has everything to do with that wild attack beyblade missing a good strike path in the start and wasting all of its power and running out of the stadium. Until there is a way to balance these factors, stamina will be the most viable Uncertain it sucks

As in meta of Georgia..not so hard to comprehend..
Every place in the world doesnt have the same meta.
Indonesia meta.
Italian Meta.
etc.
This includes in the US, as in state to state. Georgia was a huge Hasbro place back at Georgia Bey Bash, and even at Bey Lightning. At GBB, we had an Earth combo make Third or Second.

I think you are confusing concepts of other competitive type activities like beyblade, with beyblading. As well as "meta game" from state to state. We all have access to the same beyblades. Unless you are talking about something different than I think you are, this stuff doesn't exist in that way.
No, I am not.
Learn about the Italian metagame, then compare it with the metagame that you think we all have.
Ask an experienced blader. th!nk, Aru, I think Kai-V knows as well.
Do Italian basalts weigh differently? Probably not. I don't feel that talking to someone that people consider an experienced blader about an idea like this does me any good. Because the approximate definition of meta game cannot be applied to beyblade tournament play. You get me?
What he means is that the Italian meta is more focused on attack, and they use wheels like Lightning, Gravity, etc. No, Italian Basalts don't have different weights than ours, but they haven't adapted to the new attack wheels such as Blitz, Beat, and VariAres.
What do you mean by "adapted" Primal? Do you mean that they just haven't bought new beys?

I would like to see what your definition of meta game is Universe.
I'm not saying they haven't bought them, because some of them most certainly have. They just haven't figured out how to KO with them yet, is what I was getting at.
But, this is becoming kind of off-topic, so let's take this to PMs if we have to.
*sigh* This isn't that hard to comprehend dude.
And I don't know why they haven't adapted to the better Attack wheels, but I'm guessing that it could be a lack of testing or proper testing, I'm not sure.
But what Primal means by that, is just like environments adapt to new animals. An new animal being introduced to an environment can completely change that environment (yes, an environment can change because of an animal, it's not always vise versa like people think it is). That is what happens (sometimes, not with all releases) in our metagame. So basically, I guess I'm saying that their environment (metagame) hasn't adapted to the new animals (beyblades). Get it? I hope even Primal gets it Cute

EDIT: Five minutes late with my huge paragraph explanation, thanks a lot Primal! XD
A beyblades ability to KO isn't decided by the bladers experience though. It depends on the contact point, traction, and momentum.

What I'm trying to say is that the meta game that universe and many others are describing here, cannot exist. Let's say that Basalt Bull (?)145CS is such a good combo, that it is commonplace to see at tourneys. The "metagame" would be to build a combo that consistently beats the basalt bull combo. This would be fine if everyone besides you brought basalt bulls and you beat them all. But the second you face something that isn't what you are meta gaming, all of your compiled information and tests go out the window.
Guys, please remember this is an official event thread, not a Presidential debate.
Like Primal said, take it to PMs. And that's the act of metagaming, not a metagame.
ANYWAYS, Harkins, I read that you were thinking about getting Pre-orders for the Zero-G blades from Wabbit for the prizes. Have you decided this, or do you have anything else in mind?
I will give out pre-orders if I have the money to spend on them.

Tired you're gonna make me drag out my rock wheel, huh? let's see if I can find it.....because I'm quite sure I'm going!! Keep me on possible though.
If you don't have the money to spend, then do we get nothing? And I know this is gonna be at a park but is it on table or ground?
