I haven't checked in a while, but I know the Disks originally released by Hasbro were generally lighter: https://worldbeyblade.org/Thread-Hasbro-...rt-Weights

Someone got through the First Stage using only Balkesh B3 Bearing? Shocking!
How well did that Cho-Z Achilles combo work out?

Are you seriously going to bring up your ban bearing thread every time someone uses B3.Br in a winning combination? Because it doesn't look like they've posted the Luinor Cup results yet, so let's just get this out of the way so you don't feel compelled to do this again.

I came in second place, B3.10L.Br was a combo I used and won with in 3/6 First round matches, and used B3.0L.Br heavily in one of my finals matches against epickblader and used it a few times for points again against Yami, who beat me 5-4.
There was another finals contender who went 4-2 entirely with B3.2B.At.

Happy? Get it out of your system, you're a broken record. If you want to ban B3, or Bearing, then just do it in some of your Toronto tournaments and tell us how it goes. Try it locally and see how the meta changes. Go right ahead, we'll just replace it with Hell Salamander.

Exactly! Also I don’t think we need to ban aB3 or Hasbro’s Bearing because I just tested aB3.0C.Br VS hS.0C.At and hS.0C.At was destroying aB3.0C.Br!

I only used it twice during the tournament but it was able to burst aH on Br both times
I only brought Cho-Z Achilles because of aH._.Br xD

Hey DeceasedCrab,

I don't think there's a need to take this attitude towards people expressing their opinion on any particular part one way or the other. Everyone is welcome to their own feelings towards things, and we should respect that. I'm happy if people want to continue talking about how they think Balkesh B3/Hasbro Bearing fits in well to the metagame and don't think we should discourage others from expressing their opinions.

Thanks for detailing your experience with it! I appreciate it; insight into tournament usage of Balkesh B3 is valuable for everyone. For the tournament what was your first stage record with Balkesh B3 specifically? You said "won with in 3/6 First round matches", but I'm assuming this means you used other combos for the three other matches ...?

There hasn't been many regular Burst Format results posted here since the discussion originally began, so I felt compelled to comment on its appearance here especially given that it was the only combo used for the first stage (the main area of concern for me when it comes to Hasbro Bearing). The discussion publicly died down and internally we decided to wait a while longer to see how it did in the metagame, so naturally, after now seeing it beginning to pop up ... it makes sense to begin discussing it again.

To me, Hasbro Bearing is broken on a fundamental level in the first stage due to being virtually unburstable (and therefore immune to two point Bursts) while being able to be combined with parts that produce the best LAD in the game. This is why I will continue to express my desire to take action to ban Hasbro Bearing. Of course, in the end the decision is not up to me entirely!

You're said all this numerous times before. I'm not against people expressing their opinions, but once is enough in most cases. Especially for repeated walls of text advocating for a ban. Don't expect people to respect your opinions if you're leading a crusade to ban their decent layers or tips. Don't try to hide behind civility, what you're doing will be considered very rude by some people.

Like I said, ban it in your Toronto tournaments and see how that affects the meta. You're convinced the standard tournament results support your hypothesis, so the next step is a local ban. Enough words, try it.

I used and won with B3 in matches 1, 3, and 6 in the first stage. I used and won with a combo of hS.10C.At or something similar in matches 2, 4 (I can't remember if it was Cross or Glaive). I lost in a pP vs pP match 5.
Imagine Hasbro bearings only counter being stamina v stamina while stuff like hS aH and pP all have some sort of attacker that bursts them. Like comon do you seriously think having a part that makes beys unburstable without a gimmick to make them not burst is okay? To me it just seems like you like using exploits to get an unfair advantage above other players and that being you not having to worry about ever bursting, very nice, true skill, outplayed outsmarted 10/10 would play again. Nice meme "Hasbro bearing isn't broken 4Head" I'll make sure to yoink that one zlul

Love the diversity here! It's interesting that Gigant Gaia was a winning combo for both your region and ours but it looks like single layers were more popular for this one. Did anyone use gK? It proved to be a little too versatile for those that had it at our event.

I believe Shingdog and Mitchjett both used gK in their father-son battle.

Surprisingly, Wolborg does very well in Classic. Alta and I had a hard time bursting it with Rektavor.

I might have just not noticed, but I thought that Bearing was banned from Classic?
