If you don't limit its usage somehow it'd be too dominant and Orso has never seen any competitive use so it really deserves a chance in some way, and seeing as the face is very unique, I guess that was the option they went with. That is, at least how I understand it, the reason for that particular rule. It makes perfect sense to me, and I still think you're all being very disrespectful to a great format by acting like it's some sort of joke.

Anyways, If this isn't a joke, this kind of ruined Limited Format for me. I feel like it doesn't have too much competitive use, and also makes the format lots harder. It's not really worth going to GBT2's main event, knowing that all these parts are banned.

Legality Explanations v1.0 Wrote:Aries (Metal System): Aries is a reasonably heavy wheel, especially the premium returns version, however it has seen little testing showing it to be a threat, so while it will be watched closely, we have decided to leave it in Limited 2.0 for the time being.

Pisces (Metal System): Pisces, much like Aries, is a wheel on which we lack data, and it is not necessarily so heavy that it will present a problem. We strongly encourage users to test it but for the time being we have decided that it should remain legal in Limited 2.0.

Rock: While some have claimed it has use as a Tornado Stalling wheel, Rock has a long history of being derided as a useless or otherwise mediocre part. As such, we have opted to include it despite its relatively heavy weight.

Inferno: Again, some have indicated that Inferno is of similar or greater efficacy to Sagittario, a wheel which is a focal point of Limited 2.0 based on its status as a wheel used a somewhat of a joke by well known members in otherwise serious tournaments. Informal testing showed it does not appear to be a significant threat, however if it does turns out to overshadow our beloved Sagittario, the community has our word that Inferno will be quickly dealt with.

L Drago: A wheel that has seen some popularity in the past, L Drago has been included simply to make sure we still kept a Left-Spin wheel in Limited 2.0, as we as a committee decided differing spin directions were a vital element of Beyblade play, and L Drago was the least threatening option available due to its extremely light weight and the format's lack of metal faces with which it could compensate for this.

F230: Continuing our stance that F230 is absolutely not a problem in any format, we have opted to allow Zero-G's favourite track in Limited 2.0, where the lightweight L Drago is the only Left Spin Wheel.

Orojya: While we have generally not allowed any Zero-G Wheels in Limited 2.0 due to the fact they are too new and thus likely to overshadow wheels like Poison simply through wider availability from Hasbro, we decided to make an exception to Orojya based on the similarity of its design to Poison Serpent, the symbol of Limited 2.0. However, to make sure it does not overshadow Poison, we have banned all Crystal Wheels (as well as carrying over the Synchrom Ban from the original, failed incarnation of Limited Format), which should reduce the chance of it overshadowing the wheels Limited 2.0 is focused on to reasonable levels.

Orso: Our first Clear Wheel entry in this list, Orso is by far (~0.5g on all but one Clear Wheel) the heaviest Clear Wheel in Limited Format, thanks to the ban of nearly every other clear wheel over the weight of 2.8g. Orso has remained legal due to the fact we agreed that the face it comes with is particularly cool. Orso must therefore be used with the Orso face, which must also be in good condition.

Leone: Leone is perhaps the heaviest Wheel in Limited 2.0, and many of us had doubts about it. However one particular user who refused to mind their own business about the process (who will remain unnamed) insisted it was absolutely necessary for "proper gameplay balance in a tournament situation" and after hours of debate (resulting in the delay of this announcement), we eventually grew tired of arguing and decided that Leone would remain legal, but with the condition that it must be hand spun rather than launched.

Serpent: Serpent is the other Clear Wheel that has remained Legal despite being over the 2.8g Weight Limit imposed on that category of parts. This is quite simply a matter of the Format's new image, as Serpent was released alongside the Format's Central Wheel, Poison.
