Even though the BeyBattle Stations didn't really work out in the end, would we still be getting our choice of Stone Face Booster?

I think the only person who would be eligible is @[JesseObre] since he actually handed out dozens of flyers haha.

He gave one to me when I was walking from the lobby towards TBR.. And he never recognized me ;~;

I recognized you don't worry, hahaha.

Well, Mitsu did put in the effort to come earlier, so a face booster should be given out, in my opinion.

It’s awesome that you record the details of all of your opponents combos in such detail, @[Wombat]. I don’t know of anyone else who does that, which is surprising considering the competitive value such data has. I’ve always wanted to do it, but I often don’t have the time or energy to do so between my own battles, judging, organizing, and shooting photos/video.

That Bakushun Leone 90RSF combo was really interesting. I’m sure it has decent Defense, but do you often also try to use it offensively? Does it work? Libra 230RS was a kind of tough match up though, as I saw while judging it. Though, even in that case, the “ramps” of Bakushin certainly made an impact in the one round you did win.

LMAO and The Sponge always share combos; they’re brothers lol.

I recorded it the battle between you and LMAO, I believe! I know I have a clip where LMAO tells me we should ban RS again.

And maybe you didn’t do so well at Team BeyBattle Revolution, but I can say with certainty that you were a tough opponent that several people were worried about facing throughout the weekend. It’s always tough to play against someone who is confident with and uses Attack so frequently. Fortunately we were able to counter that with Libra 230RS this weekend, but that could have easily backfired if you had chosen to break your pattern of Attack (that said, you were even pretty close on multiple instances to beating Libra 230RS with Attack, which is impressive).

It was great to see another new person–especially someone who is so knowledgable and competitive–join us at AN this year. It was great meeting you and I hope you can make it again next year!

Well this is embarrassing, even though you tagged me in this post I didn't notice it, haha. Sorry about that!

I feel like the reason most people don't record their battles is like you said, they don't have time between their own battles and watching other people's, as well as maybe judging and hosting. Maybe they think they don't need to record them, seeing as some people like Leone19 and Mitsu can remember their battles just fine without writing them down.

MF-H Bakushin Leone 90RSF is one of my favorite Limited combos, actually. It has pretty good Defense actually, using the Hasbro Metal Masters RSF it's almost immovable even against Omega. I use it offensively when I need to, I've been able to beat Meteo and Gravity B:D by KOing them, the only things I have trouble against are tall things and Tornado Stallers. Against Libra 230RS I just tried to avoid it as much as possible to OS it (again, which would have worked if it had been 85/90RS).

I hope that clip gets included in the BeyChannel footage, if there is any this year. I don't know if yall are leaving that to Zankye or not since he's got a larger audience.

I wouldn't say I was a tough opponent, just someone who guessed right sometimes and got a few lucky upsets. Yall give me way too much credit. Looking back at my combos, I did use a lot more Attack than I thought, but I don't think I'm confident with it. I'm not Meow!, who can pull off a Sliding Shoot with XF and KO top tier Defense with a stock Cosmic Pegasus, haha. I guess that made me a little too predictable.

It was nice to meet everyone at AN and put some faces to names as well. I hope I can make it next year, but I don't really expect to because I'll have my hands full with college and stuff.

I recognized you don't worry, hahaha.

I wish I could have made it, but it took me longer to get out of the airport and get my passes than I expected.

EDIT:

(like, Wombat could have also pulled a Bakushin 90RSF on me)

Haha wow he knows me so well

There will definitely be BeyChannel videos for the AN tournaments this year ... it's just a question of when since I have a huge back log of tournament videos to complete. I try to do at least one a month. Zankye's footage is great for hardcore players that want to see as much of the matchups as possible, but BeyChannel videos are more concise and fun to watch for the average player or fan, I think.

Where were the battle stations? Happy to hear they were back but I didn't see any.

The thing is though, again, they really didn't work out, haha. We all stayed in the International Plaza Hotel handing out flyers, holding up signs and battling each other, rather splitting up and doing the same.

By the way, Kei- Pyrus10000 should technically be eligible of a DJ Face for judging a bit on the Saturday, correct?

And I had to stand around in line to get my staff room key for like ... 45 minutes after setting up the Beyblade Battle Station at the International Plaza and playing for an hour or two while we waited for volunteers to show up so I could give them stadiums/flyers/posters. I went to line up after most of the volunteers arrived late in the afternoon on Friday, and even though I told everyone where to go before I went to get the staff room key and gave them what they needed, they didn't really listen and all stuck together in one place haha. By the time I got back there wasn't much time before we had to head over to the Sheraton for the first event.

Yup, that's right! I'll note it in the results.

It's pretty unbelievable Anime North was almost a month ago.

OMG YOU EVEN USED THE OLD POSTERS. So happy.

Sad to hear it didn't work, but it's still an idea I believe in. Maybe just the wrong time. I think a lot of the "nostalgia" for Beyblade is gone and might not come back for a while, if ever.

I'd disagree. There were several I believe, but one Wombat and I spoke to about the new tops. He mentioned to Wombat how he had a bunch of old plastics when he was a kid and couldn't believe Beyblade still exists.

That's what happened to a few of my (now) casual players in CT. They loved the original as kids and I got them back into MFB.

No point in re-doing something that's already perfect for the job!

Hm, it's hard to say. We still managed to give out a sizable chunk of flyers at the International Plaza to interested onlookers. And I think seeing people playing Beyblade is something that's kind of hard to ignore simply because the of the movement associated with both the Beyblades themselves and the players launching. If we were playing a card game, that might have been something easier to miss, for example.
