I spoke with Heart earlier in regard to starting this Thread, as I've noticed an increased amount of closed Customizations Threads as they do not comply with our standard regulations as to how a test should be carried out. These closed Threads seemed to use outclassed or competitively useless parts, requested their combos to be tested out by starting a new Thread, the use of a Stadium that isn't the Metal Fight Beyblade Attack Type Stadium, etc.

Because of this, it causes clutter in one of the most vital parts of the WBO, and it frustrates the staff to have to repeatedly close similar Threads.

Therefore, I propose that we generate a standard method of testing, in written form. The senior members here are well aware as to how a proper test is to be done, but this is more for Bladers who are new to the WBO, and have little experience with carrying out tests and posting results.

Also, it seems that people pay more attention to the inner workings in the Advanced Forum, instead of the Stickied Topics in the Customization Forum, which is unfortunate; I think it would be better if this was left here, unless a staff member would like to Sticky it.

Listed below are the four simple steps on how to conduct a test:

1. Inspecting Your Test Beyblade (Click to View)

Before you commence the testing of your Beyblade, take a look at its parts. I stress that your suggested combos not be other incarnations of already proven top-tier Combos. Here are a few examples:

MF Vulcan Pegasis 85R²F, MF Earth Leone GB145WB, Burn Phoenix 145SD.

Also, please take the time to read around the Customization Forum to see if your Combo is similar to one that has been posted before. You can always use the Search Function.

2. Preparing for the Test (Click to View)

Once your proposed Beyblade is free of what are deemed as competitively useless parts, then gather all the necessary equipment, top-tier Beyblades, and Stadium to commence your Testing. For example, the list should look like this if your Beyblade is an Attack Type:

Spoiler (Click to View)

Equipment
- Bey Launcher with Launcher Grip
- Bey Launcher L with Launcher Grip

Opposing Top-Tier Beyblades
- MF-H Earth Bull GB145WB
- MF-H Earth Bull GB145RS

Stadium
- Metal Fight Beyblade Attack Type Stadium

*I must stress that it is important for a person who wishes to test his or her Beyblade out in the Attack Type Stadium. I think I've hear somewhere that there were other types of Stadiums that were deemed legal for testing; correct me if I'm wrong. However, if other Stadiums are legal, I want to propose that we make the Attack Type Stadium the only legal Stadium to be used for testing.

3. How to Run a Test Based on Your Beyblade's Type (Click to View)

Now, you're ready to test! This section is very vital, so please read this carefully.

Attack Type Testing

In order test an Attack Type Beyblade, your Attack Type Beyblade must always be launched after a top-tier Defense Type Beyblade in the twenty rounds of required testing. Defense Type Beyblades that are WB-based must be launched at 80% power, whereas RS-based Defense Type Beyblades must be launched at 100% power; Attack Types must be subsequently launched by using the Sliding Shoot Technique.

When testing against a top-tier Stamina Type Beyblade, the Stamina Type Beyblade is always launched first at 100% power.

When testing against a top-tier Attack Type Beyblade, the Beyblade being tested must be launched first at 100% power, either by straight shooting or the Sliding Shoot Technique. In the next round, the top-tier Attack Type Beyblade must be launched first. The tester must alternate Beyblades launched first every round until twenty rounds of testing are over.

Defense Type Testing

In order to test a Defense Type Beyblade, you must launch the Beyblade tested first at 80% if it uses a WB Bottom, or at 100% if it uses an RS Bottom. You must test your Defense Type Beyblade against most of, if not all top-tier Attack Type Combos.

Stamina Type Testing

In order to test a Stamina Type Beyblade, you must launch your test Stamina Beyblade first at 100% in the first round, followed by a top-tier Stamina Type Beyblade launched at 100% power in the following round. You must alternate the Beyblade launched first in all twenty rounds of the required testing.

4. Posting Your Results (Click to View)

Please refer to Heart's Thread. Also, here is a great example provided by Kei:

MF Lightning L Drago 100RF vs. MF Earth Aquario GB145CS
MF Lightning L Drago 100RF: 18 wins
MF Earth Aquario GB145CS: 1 win
1 draw
CS win percentage: 5%

***

So, to bring it all back, you must remember to only start a new Thread in the Customization Forum if:
- You are not requesting a test of your Beyblade or theory in a new Thread; we have an appropriate Thread for this
- You have read around the Customization Forum to see if your Combo is not an incarnation of a top-tier Combo, and if your Combo is not similar to a Combo that has been posted already
- You have the necessary equipment to carry out a test as described above
- You have the Attack Type Stadium
- Your Beyblade is free of outclassed and or competitively useless parts
- You have tested your Beyblade against the appropriate top-tier Beyblades
- You have results written down, and they are good results

By complying to this handy guide, I am sure that all of you can enrich the Customization Forum, ushering in potential top-tier Combos.

To the Staff and other Veterans: please check this over if I need to make any changes to this.

Thank you Pyro for this sick sig~!!

Not all Sharp series bottoms are useless.

戦う, 正義の 仮面ライダーV3!

Not all Sharp series bottoms are useless.

Coat Sharp.

I'll edit that; I completely forgot about CS.

Edit: Fixed.

Thank you Pyro for this sick sig~!!

Add M145 to tracks, Q to bottoms, Gill and TT Orso to Clear Wheels (most newbs aren't going for wobblers :X), and take Rock off of Metal Wheels.

I didn't see this: might want to add a section saying not to post stuff we already know, and not to test already top-tier combos.

Check my stuff for sale.

Sounds like some great amendments; I just edited the OP.

Thank you Pyro for this sick sig~!!

M145 is "Move 145", not "Multi".

This is a great thread for new members who would like to test. Thanks Momo!

Just because I'm picky though...can you put the titles as the spoilers themselves?
[ Spoiler = 1. Inspecting Your Test Beyblade ]

Great thread Momo

I think it's a great idea creating this thread as like what you've already said people will tend to pay ittle closer attention to this topic then a sticked thread in the 'Customization Forum' just because this is placed in 'The Adavnced Forum'.

---

In Brisbane, Australia and wanna battle? Send me a PM and we can sort it out.

Thanks guys, and Oki, I think it may be less confusing for non-staff/Veteran members to view the format as is.

Thank you Pyro for this sick sig~!!

This is a really cool thread, but I'm a bit wary of outlining parts which shouldn't be used; you never know what potential uses a part could have.

I agree somewhat, but I don't think most new Metal Fusion tykes are going to be realizing any untapped potential they might have.

Check my stuff for sale.

Should I remove that section all together then, just to be completely unbiased about the parts?

Thank you Pyro for this sick sig~!!

I just want to post this here for everyone to see, because I think it is quite important most of the time :


When you post test results for a select combination which is part of a certain type, in my opinion you should also post test results for the current top-tier Beyblade of the same type.

This way we can compare the results more accurately, because not only do percentages vary among almost everyone, but while, for instance, you could be bad with Attack Types for some reason, if you are testing a new Attack type customization, then at least the variation between the top-tier's results and your combination's results should be quite similar to the variation that someone who is skilled with Attack types would get, in theory. So, while MF Pegasis 145RF could only get 30% against MF Earth Bull GB145CS for some members and that their MF Lightning L Drago 100RF gets 70% against it, the L Drago combination should still be 40% more powerful than MF Pegasis 145RF for other people.
