This is something that, as far as I can tell, we've NEVER discussed.
When I say three-for-all, I basically mean three Beyblades in a stadium, all against each other. Obviously you could use more, but I think more than three is pushing it (you could try a dozen Phantom Foxs if you're looking for fun/chaos?).
I think it's an interesting format to consider because you have to change your strategy entirely. A zombie wouldn't work in this scenario at all. You can't focus on beating one Beyblade, there's two you have to deal with, and they might be complete opposites.
I think high-speed attack types would work best. They wouldn't stand stationary long enough to get ganged up on, and they could ricochet the opponents into each other.
I agree with what you said, high-speed attack types would probably work best for the reasons you stated. Defense types would be screwed because the attack blade could bounce it everywhere (or two of them if there were two attackers) and it would be knocked out.
Well, actually, I guess it depends on what type would have the majority though. If there was more attack then defense, as I said the defense Beyblade would get knocked around and one of the attack types would win. If there was more endurance than attack, one of the endurance could have the chance to survive, and same with other types. Do you see what I mean? This wouldn't apply to all situations, but I think it would for a lot of them.
If high speed attack types dominated this situation then I don't think much skill would be required. It'd be more based on luck. Although I see smash types being favored more. If the other two beys are upper attack types in one spin direction, and you have a smasher in the other direction I guess it is an advantage. But I think it would only be a big advantage in bigger stadiums.
I think defense+survival types are worth considering, if we are to assume that attackers would be a popular choice.
Actually, now that I think about it, Full Auto Clutch Base might be a good choice ...
What about Metal Change bases?
I see why we can't do this. It'll be fine as long as it won't be like the main format.
I could see a heavy defenser working well against like two attackers. If it were to stay in the middle most of the time, the other two could just duke it out (considering if they were launched normally) and attack each other. And if in any case they attack it towards the center it'll be able to take the hits. That's just one unguaranteed scenario though.
if the defense blade managed to get itself into the middle of the stadium right off the bat then while the other 2 blades circled at high speeds around it they would either defeat each other, or at least weaken each other to the point where a few hits, or the defender can outspin them. as well like G said a heavy defender would work well in this scenario because even if one of the attack blades bonced into the middle the defender would be able to repel it back outside where it would get slammed by the other attacker

I'm not sure how well they would do, to be honest. I think a compact could do quite well due to its balanced attributes, though.

I wasn't proposing it be a tournament format or anything.

Yes, this is what I was thinking, which is why a defense+survival combo would do really well.
it'd be interesting to see how one attacker would fare against 2 defender/survivals. the attacker would spend most of its energy circling them while they sat in the center having some nice little interaction. it might run outta enough spin before it could finish either off

I think that player needs to practice their shooting more.
With sliding shot or banking, it's pretty easy to get attackers to sweep the center over and over.
Gettiyaki(sp?) is very useful in these types of situations. You're almost guaranteed to hit something.
It's gattyaki. Gattyaki can only be performed perfectly by shooting a fraction of second after your opponent. With three players, I can see this being tricky.

Well I'll make up a new technique called "launch with forward momentum into where your opponents will likely land based on their shooter positions."
But how would this fair with say 3 zombies or like 3 defense/survival blades? This might be a long chiseling away at each other or over in an instant it all depends on what the opponent uses.

True, but I mean what would happen if you had 3 defense survival types in it? That would be pretty borring... I mean just deflecting? a total BLASTING at each other? Or just a survival match? I'd like to see 1 of each in the stadium. A survival, a defense, and an attacker I know it matters on what sort of attacker and everything else, but that would make for quite an interesting match..

Just like it would be with two Beyblades instead of three: Boring.
I'd like to see how a OHKO blade would fair in that match. I don't think it would do to well, but it would be interesting to watch IMO.

It would do terribly, because once it KOs one Beyblade it's stuck with another.
Good point. I should've thought of that way sooner.
Me and my friends used to do Four-for-Alls..
It was in a fake stadium though, basically it was bigger than any other stadium I ever used. so it held all four blades quite well.
I remember that Endurance types worked really well, since it'd just sit in the middle, and my friends were all about attack types that would knock themselves out, leaving me to be victorious! and since the stadium was so big, I wasn't in much of a risk of being hurt.
That stopped quickly though , the fake stadium was made of such cheap plastic that the blades ripped it apart very quickly.
However, in the Hasbro stadiums, the walls let the attackers rebound a ton and knock into me, which made my endurance go down quite a bit.
I think your friend's attackers losing is probably due to a lack of shooting technique and a stadium that was too large. I'm sure, especially if they knew how to shoot, your survival Beyblade wouldn't be sitting so pretty for long.
Weight is a huge factor in battles with multiple bey because withing the first few seconds one or more of the opponents is usually pushed out and the others are heavily damaged. It's just a hectic mess of beyblades most of the time.

SLIDE SHOT!!!???
Slide shots allow for more erratic movement, correct? The blade would bounce off the sides and come across the middle of the stadium to hit the other side or hit another beyblade =)
