- Metal Fight Limited Format: Gravity’s Initial Spin Direction Selection in Deck Format Clarification
Burst Format Updates
IMPORTANT Burst Format: First Stage - Burst Finishes Increased from 1 Point to 2 Points
Burst Format Rulebook Wrote:To win a match, a blader must score 3 points. You earn point(s) when:
- The opposing Beyblade stops spinning (1 Point)
- The opposing Beyblade exits the BeyStadium (1 Point)
- The opposing Beyblade bursts (2 Points OR 1 Point if Frame or God Chip comes off)
There has been much debate in the community over the past couple months about the situation TAKARA-TOMY has presented us with through the release of Hell Salamander, Archer Hercules, and Revive Phoenix. Around the world, there’s differing opinions about each of these Layers. But ultimately, they do keep each other in check to a certain degree.
However, the problem that’s been identified is the low usage and effectiveness of Attack types especially after their release. It was particularly bad until the recent release of Xtreme’ with Shadow Amaterios, a much needed new version of Xtreme with a much tighter spring and softer rubber, allowing for a tighter lock and much better flower pattern when banking.
While Xtreme’ has allowed for a marked improvement in the performance of Attack types and combinations using it have been found in recent Winning Combinations lists, usage of Attack types–particularly in the first stage of events–is still quite low.
In order to help give Attack types a more defined purpose and increased value for the first stage, we have therefore made the decision to increase Burst Finishes from being worth 1 Point to 2 Points. Outspins, KOs, and Frames/God Chips falling off are still 1 Point, and matches are still won after a player scores 3 Points total.
This was made possible due to the release of Xtreme’ and Hunter’. The tight lock on these Drivers helps to reduce the possibility of an Attack type self-bursting, which is one of the primary reasons we had never considered imposing the two point Burst Finish rule for first stage matchws–which are only to 3 Points, unlike Deck Format’s 5 Points–previously.
Burst Finishes in general have also become less common overall, but Xtreme’ does make them a lot more likely in certain situations. Changing Burst Finishes to two points also makes the risk/reward factor of using Stamina types (using Drivers like Bearing) higher, which can affect the choices players will make.
We chose to leave KOs at 1 Point due to the more unpredictable nature of them in combination with the shorter three-point nature of first stage matches. We didn’t like the idea of an Attack user doing a perfect bank and then getting KOed while the opposing Stamina type gets wall-saved.
This rule update allows us to–at least for the time being–avoid banning any other parts. Despite the increased number of bans throughout Burst Format thus far, the ideal has always been to avoid bans, and we feel that this solution will be a strong alternative.
Metal Fight Limited Format Updates

Metal Fight Limited Format: Gravity’s Initial Spin Direction Selection in Deck Format Clarification
Following our July 2018 mode change restrictions for the Gravity Metal Wheel allowing only one mode change per match, we realized that one additional clarification was needed after the first event of Beyblade Remembrance 2018 in Toronto in order to prevent a possible second mode change in Deck Format.
As such, the following ruling was added to the rulebook, applicable to anyone using Gravity in their deck:
Metal Fight Limited Format Rulebook Wrote:In the final stage of events, Gravity’s initial spin direction must be declared to the judge while their deck is being inspected.

Even it those are rare, X', Hn', And Ds' (NYr) are not an easy get. But I Think 2 Point burst is not Bad, since it will Give more Easy wins to Attack type bets which Shot aH Burst.
These rules are better.

Im really happy about this. I think this what the stale af meta needed. My hS counters are back.

I think the rule change is very good. But I would like it even more if we could just go to the 5 point system with KO and Burst both being 2 points. I think that system is just perfect. But I do see time being an issue. This is still a very good rule change.

Though I don't have any experience with tournament play, even just from playing on my own and with what I know, I think this is great change with the current parts in the meta.

Yeah, unfortunately five point matches would just be too much, especially for a battle that is just 1v1. 5 Points only works well for Deck because of all the circumstances that surround it.

This would take away luck and put into more skill.

Honestly, I am for deck format all the way but I agree that is just next to impossible for various reasons.
I think giving 2 points to Burst will change the meta in stage 1. If not by increaseing play of attack types in stage 1, it should at least make players make choices to respect attack.

The armour falling off is not considered a round loss because it is it's gimmick. So there will be no problem caused by rP.

Anyone who has played in a tournament since we introduced the new two point Burst rule for the First Stage, what are your impressions of it? Has it had any impact, positive or negative?
