O.k. haven't been around lately
You know how old folks talk about the good old days.
Well I think I miss tha good old days. Anyone else agree.
Back when bladeing wasn't all high tech and complicated.
Yeah, everyone had a blade in 2000-2004. It was awesome back then. Now, no so many bladers are about
I miss them too. But nowadays all the bladers that are left are pretty skilled.
HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE COMPLICATED ASPECT OF BEYBLADING AND THE TECHNOLOGY.
As far as I can see, nowhere does he mention that there used to be numerous more beybladers in the old days compared to today.
EDIT: HAHAHA disregard that, OP owned me.
Yeah, I don't know if it's really terrible that a lot of people stopped. The bladers that were really into it, and usually really skilled, remained. This will be good when Beyblade returns, I think. The skilled bladers can kind of help out the new generation.
No it can include that too.
I remember when i was younger, whenever I got a new blade, I would take it to school and battle everyone who brought a blade that day. It was awesome. I miss that.
And yes the simpler technology made it even more fun. The thing that made beyblade cool in the first place.
What kinda stuff do you mean by complicated technology?
The gimmick hms blades?
I like the technical aspect of beyblade, applying theory to beyblade design and customization to produce something you know in your mind should perform well
Sort of. Yeah.Yes
I like that too, but just once now a days I'd like to relive that moment when I got my first blade, and
battled my neighbor and won. Sure the technical and physic stuff is fun and makes the game exciting, but don't you miss that simplicity of the game that made it fun in the first place.
Sorry, experiencing some major nostalgia.
Mind explaining to me how Beyblade is any more complicated than it was in the Plastic generation? And no, saying "THEY ADDED METAL" doesn't constitute becoming more complicated. Beyblade's "complication" peaked in the V2 series. HMS and the current MFB are all incredibly simple; far more simple than even the S and F generations of plastic Beyblades. So what you're asking for isn't a return to form in terms of basic parts (which we are already experiencing), just a return to your own ignorance.
So no, I can honestly say that I don't have any desire to go back to the days when people were posting on Street Beyblade about how Driger F was the best Beyblade ever, or people telling me that they were the best Bladers in the world because they had a Bit Beast. There is nothing to miss there.
So yeah, I sort of miss when Beyblade was at it's peak in popularity, but not all that much, because I was in high school and never got to experience this culture of Bladers bringing their parts to school anyway. I can almost guarantee that was probably a fakefest just about everywhere, anyway.
Every month or so someone always seems to feel the need to post about how the "good ol days" were better, how plastic is infinitely superior to HMS for some arbitrary reason that usually amounts to them throwing a hissy fit because their plastics are infinitely weaker now. However, there has really never been a fundamental change in the way Beyblades function and are designed. It's always going to be big spiky thing on top, little pointy thing on bottom. The materials and functions and have changed, but the core principle remains the same.
So no, I don't miss the "good ol days" of when Blading wasn't "high tech and complicated", because that never existed. You just didn't know about it yet. And if you're saying Beyblade would be better off we could all just throw random Beyblades into a stadium and cheer and hope they win, my friend, I have some Wyborgs to sell you.
agree with bey brad completly on this. I do miss buying them from local stores, but mfb will come eventually.
I second it. Beyblade generally has always had the same level of science and complexity in designs throughout its production, only the understanding of said complexity has varied
Sorry guys, just a little nostalgic. I miss the ld feeling from the first blades. Don't you remeber it?
And yeah blades are getting simpler, but it just doesn't have the same feel to it like I remember.
I mean metal makes the game so much more exciting, but sometimes I just take out my old spin dragoon and let it rip. I miss that old feeling. Again sorry for the nastolgia.

Sure i totally get you, nostalgia is a really powerful thing. The feeling of the first time I completed making my first beyblade, attaching all those stickers...I do miss that. It's a feeling which is hard to beat

If MFB were your first Beyblades, you'd feel the same way about them in a few years. This has everything to do with nostalgia and nothing to do with how the Beyblades are actually designed.
Ok, but that was sort of the point, for people to talk about what they missed. Now that MFB is out, I'm looking forward to it, and thats makeing me miss the good old blades and the unbeatable feeling thats all.
Sorry but design is also an important aspect of the game as well, I'm waiting for bearings and rollers. I love them. Thats something I feel it about. My first blades where roller defenser and spin dragoon. What was yours? Don't you miss that blade and having fun?

My first Beybades were Wolborg, Galeon and Dranzer F. There's nothing to miss because I still have all of these Beyblades. The only thing I miss is living near Toronto, where most of the Bladers in Canada are. But I get to go every now and then so I don't mind.
Roller Defenser and Spin Dragoon are both terrible, boring Beyblades. I have both of them, never use them, and certainly don't feel bad about it!
Of course design is a huge part of the game ... which is ironic, because you mention Roller Defenser and Spin Dragoon, one of which is one of the worst designed Beyblades of all time (Spin Dragoon) and the other is relatively worthless (Roller Defenser [aside from the spin switch tech which is now illegal]).
MFB's design so far is far and beyond the level of design experienced when the original Beyblade series was launched. HMS also had far better design than the plastic generation -- it was so good, in fact, that the best-designed parts rendered other parts useless (HMS's biggest downfall).
It seems to me that your nostalgia is for your childhood in general and has very little to do with Beyblade.

Come on Brad, give just a little ground. He does indeed have a strong sense of nostalgia, and if beyblades were a large part of his childhood, then it could indeed be nostalgia for blades or his childhood. Either way, he's posting in the beyblade forum, not some random 'reminisce about the past' board. His first blades weren't the greatest performers, but they were the beginning of the whole beyblade experience for him. Maybe he's looking forward to bearings and rollers in future models, just because of how it reminds him of his beyblade past.
His beyheart burns bright 8D
Maybe. Maybe.. I sort of agree. They were horrible. They were absolutly terribble blades. But something about them just kept bringing me back. Call it whatever you want, but... well it's hard to describe.
I guess you just love the game in a different way, but thats you. There nothing wrong with your viewpoint. You just take the game more seriously than I do, and I sort of respect you for that.
Cool. But I will always love rollers, no matter how useless they may be.
I understand where he's coming from entirely. I remember when I was really young I used to go to Pokemon League. That was probably the best time of my life, and I feel nostalgic about it, but I don't confuse it with, "oh man the pokemon ccg was sooooooo much cooler back then".
You totally get it. I just feel that way with beyblade.
Well, the only thing I miss about the past is, there was always someone to battle around competitively who had known the fact that a Beyblade would be better if its customized(mostly), however, nowadays the ones who call themselves Beybladers(mostly n00bs) are fond of Dranzer V, Dragoon V and even Wyborg (
) that they believe they are unbeatable
I really can't find anyone to battle nowadays that I miss the old days where I competed with a customization of Driger S where Tiger Defenser was replaced with the Panther Claw and this was my best blade back then...
Overall, we all were n00bs

It really seems like the opposite situation to me.

What I meant there was the Beybladers in my country not the general community...
I see what the OP is saying, and I'll agree with him.
The complication however imo, does not arise from the parts or the progress but they way we these forums (BD OTC BW BBF) try to analyze and dissect the best combos and launching etc., we get/got fantical. that gets exahusting and can take the fun out of it.
I'll take those days battling in the summer again, in back yards with fake parts. You know why? Because it was fun. We didn't know better but its not really required. Beyblade is a game, and a hobby for many here, but i would think the purpose is to have fun.
I'll battle anyone, with fake parts or w.e. because beybladers are rare and not everyone has the same means but should still play.
thats a bit jumbled, but i do think the old days were good. these days are good too, a whole new demographic is about to enjoy beyblade for what it is.
