Just because you say that doesn't make it true. It's got 4 pockets, and they're pockets instead of holes. Has anyone measured and compared the incline and sizes of the central pocket and tornado ridge? Have you?

More to the point, has any organizer run an unranked Burst Standard tournament only using the Pro Series Beystadium for testing purposes? That's what you'll need if you want that to be allowed. Probably a bunch of them. Better get to it.

what is your blading style when it comes to finals deck format?
I prefer stamina/defense hybrids that have  LAD, defense against attack types, and decent enough same spin stamina
I also occasionally experiment with attack combos and have recently implemented an attack/stamina hybrid into my deck for both knockout potential as well as LAD potential

I wish someone had taken your honest question more seriously.

You're well aware of my finals deck style. I tend to have a left spin stamina and a right spin stamina. If I'm feeling self-destructive I might throw in an attack type. I tend towards Drifts and Bearings, and so far I still rely heavily on Dynamite, Roar, and Mirage because they just keep working. I usually leave the attack slot for experiments like a Hybrid driver or something fun like Prominence.

The only legal way to awaken the Savior blade is by use. I'm glad you asked before cutting it, because otherwise, you wouldn't have a legal Savior blade.

The way I awakened mine when it first came out was by using Rage 3A on a high driver and Savior on a short driver to enable 3A to act as the main point of contact. Using this method, awakening took about an hour, though this was with the original mold that's rumored to have softer rubber.

Nowadays, the fastest method would probably be using Guilty Longinus Karma high driver/Quattro-0 in high mode against a short Savior combo.

The bearing driver has better same spin stamina than drift, zone'+z, and Mobius, and will occasionally beat drift and zone'+z in opposite spin depending on the bearing, but will get out spun in both the same spin and opposite spin by high extend plus'. This becomes complicated however when you consider the fact that while high extend plus' is the best out of these 4 for the same spin it loses in opposite spin to zone'+z and drift and occasionally Mobius. Due to these stats, however, it seems that Zone' +z only real advantage is being able to beat high extend plus which makes me now question
Has Zone'+z fallen out of the meta/become the least competitive LAD driver?
What do you guys think?

When compared to other LAD drivers like bearing, zone'+z, and drift(depending on the quality, high extend plus, from my testings, has extremely low knockout resistance and when put on either dynamite or vanish will lose to a knockout more than 70 percent of the time whether it be a guilty or an ultimate combo that is the attacker.

Also, have TT/hasbro sponsored a single tournament??? That's probably why they don't understand game balance

Honestly? It's been mentioned, but it's probably because a lot of the current active areas seem to be more scared of Self-KOing with rubber attack than they are of losing via choosing the wrong stamina/lad match up. I think it's a shame, because even some of our more experienced competitors seem to genuinely struggle with a basic sliding shot... I know some feel that it isn't my place to talk about things that happen at or impact tournaments, but while it's been a while since I competed I did manage to win a couple of matches by using attack during one of the more defensive eras in MFB, and that's in BB10, where self-KO is definitely easier - and it's not like this is something that has magically changed in a decade. People gotta practice with this stuff - and not one person practice, get a practice buddy and actually get it done real-world style if you want to know for sure you can nail it at a tournament.

But yeah, rant aside, HXt+' has basically zero knockout resistance, it's laughable. Actually, Zn'+Z may have more of a place in the format if people used more attack as it is a bit harder to KO than the other big stamina/lad drivers.

TT run massive numbers of tournaments through the WBBA - they make new stuff better because it means they sell to the players in those tournaments (and elsewhere).

Hasbro have sponsored tournaments - actually, they sponsored one in my little backwater a couple years back, but they have pretty blatantly not really cared about competitive play since day 1, much as they have had some championships and so on over the years.
