My thoughts? I enjoyed it, but I dont think im gonna invest money in Burst. Just something i dont feel like getting too involved with. Im stickin to MFB.

Congrats to the placers!

Interesting that Heavy wasn't used for the Valkyrie combos. Did anyone have success with Spriggan?

Burst is very quickly going to become the standard soon, so maybe reconsider in a couple months once the metagame is more developed.

How many people did you guys end up with?

From the testing results and tournament results I've seen I personally think we still haven't actually decided on the best Disk for Attack yet. Heavy obviously adds weight, but Central, Spread, or Wing might have a better distribution or give more speed. I also think I read somewhere on one of Zoroaste's threads that Spread has the best LAD.

How soon is that going to be? I get that Burst is the current generation of Beyblades but until they become available outside Japan there should still be MFB tournaments at least semi-frequently. Not everyone is allowed to order Beyblades online, and not all hosts are going to have the resources to do this kind of tournament where they buy a bunch of Burst stuff and then give it away/lend it out. If the WBO wants to attract new members at this point in time we don't want to come off as exclusive (for lack of a better word).

It looks like they had 10 people (I didn't see the post about the live stream but I followed the Challonge brackets). Congrats to Angry for winning, but I was really rooting for DefStamina since he hasn't won in a long time. Especially after he came out on top of a pretty tough Block, too. What happened to Thunder Dome?

10 attended. Various Spriggan combos took rounds off of people, but Valkyrie Wing Accel and Kerberus Heavy Defense rolled mostly, beating each other fairly evenly. Spriggan Spread Survive was the only one that seemed to fall to Valkyrie without bursting as much, falling by KO instead. There were no Kerberus VS Spriggan matches that I saw. Mainly Kerberus-Kerberus, Kerberus-Valkyrie, or Valkyrie-Valkyrie.

I've been playing Valkyrie Central Accel with fairly positive results, too. I like the movement pattern more and it has LAD that Heavy lacks.

Congrats guys! Did the livestream happen? I'd love to see a recording if there was one.

Thank You everyone for coming out. Congratulations to the winners. I had a great time at my first event.

Welcome to the community and thanks for coming! What did you think of Beyblade Burst?

I loved it and I think I want to work on competing more.

Congratulations to the places especially angry face for being 1st! It is surprising that Heavy wasn't used for the winning combos

Here is a video of one of the semi-final matches. (I hope, not sure what happened to the audio)

Neither the video nor audio work for me

I had to make sure that quicktime was enabled and wait for the whole video to download before it would play.

I ended up not playing after arriving and here's a few reasons why.

Tournament Registration: 11AM
Tournament Start: 12PM

I honestly didn't expect many people to show up at 10 AM and earlier. Registration began before 11. I was even more surprised when the majority of people who arrived had not posted on the thread. I was quite shocked regardless that it was first come first serve.

(May. 07, 2015  2:44 PM)Dark_Mousy Wrote: [ -> ]Also the winner of this event will have a guaranteed spot in the Beyblade Burst event on August 8th in Raleigh.

Also this didn't happen. I won that event and got in to see Zackbob and Dark_Mousy playing out to see who got the last burst (also the both already had a burst beyblade themselves). So yeah all the Bursts ran out...thought I had one guaranteed but oh well.

Yeah those things plus the fact I'd have to pay $20 to play (10 for passport, 5 for Burst fee and 5 for store fee) while actually getting no beyblade burst at all made me not play.

It was interesting to watch and judge as well as doing a little hands on after the event, but I couldn't bring my self to actually play at the point. Pretty disappointed to be honest.

Also for anyone asking about combos I think you need to realize only one player had more than one beyblade and two players didn't have any at all. I honestly wouldn't start trying to logically figure out why some parts were used or not used because everyone was very limited. Not something to start making assumptions off of. Although congrats to all the placers, hoping you newer members start showing up more. It would be awesome to pull off bigger events again.

We had some issues with the Twitch App. I will be meeting with Game Theory owners this week about using there equipment. We did take video . I will be putting a video together in the next day or so. We had a total of 10 people play. But we had 4 other bladers who showed up but didn't play.

Were glad to have you in the community.

Also I met with Kickin Kiwi this afternoon and they want us to host an event in October/November time frame.

When I arrived at Game Theory this morning there was people already waiting. We had 7 people at the door before i even got there.

Never thought I would see wing on the top of a winning combos list. Lol. I guess anything can happen though

Today's Burst Format tournament was fantastic, I really love the feel of these new Beyblades! On top of getting to test out Burst, I got to do it with the NC crew +geetster and his mom, which was awesome as always. And thanks again to VariAresXD, ZachBob, and everyone else who for let me borrow their Beyblades and launchers throughout the tournament, Dark especially (sorry Def and I kicked you out of finals, lol), and Game Theory for the store credit. You all helped make today's event one most memorable for me.

Also, gg Def. We played each other 4 times today, and that's, like, almost half our total BeyBattles in today's event alone, lol.

Interesting that Heavy wasn't used for the Valkyrie combos. Did anyone have success with Spriggan?

[...]

I used Valkyrie Heavy Accel against DefStamina's Valkyrie Central Accel in the last battle of the finals and lost at least two rounds by out-spin due to the blocky portions of Heavy interrupting my Valkyrie's LAD as well as some unusually slow launches. When I switched Heavy out for Wing in our tiebreaker, though, my Valkyrie's LAD improved and I seemed to get much stronger launches with the Beylauncher than I had in the previous BeyBattle.

I also tried Spriggan on Accel once earlier in the tournament, but I lost with it to either a Kerbeus or Valkyrie combo by several Burst Finishes. Based just on what I saw today, Valkyrie impressed me the most as an Attack Layer, having had the strongest and hardest clicks on Accel than Spriggan, Ragnaruk, and Kerbeus.

This event was a lot of fun! Burst is gonna be awesome!

Congrats to Angry Face! And all the placers!

And congrats to Ethanq42 and LeoneXDZ for placing 3rd and 4th at your first event!

Angel2015, Ethanq42, LeoneXDZ, Banditmaj, VariaresXD, Gingka#1, and Angry Face; I enjoyed meeting all of you and had a lot of fun blading with you guys. I'm looking forward to seeing you guys at upcoming events.

Gingka#1, you did a great job at your first tournament. You were in a really tough block, as it turns out. But you could possibly win the next tournament with that kind of skill :D


I got stomped out of the finals quick by Angry face, Dark_Mousy, and Defstamina88. Dark 3-0d me in a VwA mirror match :'( but I had tons of fun playing with these things. It's far more exciting to play and to spectate than it used to be.


One thing I noticed when judging burst matches was that sometimes it is very hard to make a ruling on a double burst finish or a burst/ko finish. Mainly due to the clear plastic shield blocking your view, it can be very hard to see if a bey touched the wall and burst or touched the other bey. For burst tournaments in the future I suggest that we have 2 judges for every match; one on each side of the stadium.


Also, I think that the promise of a bey to the first 7 entrants helped a lot with attendance, we had 4 new members sign up yesterday! I think a similar door prize system is something to look into for future events.
