... okay, so what's the difference between that and your "crew"?
RE: FWB Crew: Fort Wayne Bladers Thread - Pepe le Penguin - Jul. 27, 2009
We are trying to work up a way to travel to events together, and we hoped that if there were other crews at events, we could have a crew 3v3 competitions. Like how one blader from each team is picked kind of jazz. We haven't done anything yet, to really seperate ourselves from ordinary groups, but we wanted to at least get a name for ourselves.
Edit: Just wanted to see if any bladers consider themselves affiliated with a group of other bladers with things is common besides location, and beyblading of course.

So team battles, then. Not "crews" or clubs or anything. It's a team battle, which the WBO doesn't support. Beyblade isn't a team sport; you can't work together at all with the rest of your team.

Not for points, I know that WBO doesn't support that. This is for fun. Isn't it always more fun to be a part of a group or team, or give yourself a label of affiliation, then to just be there and say "yeah, we live by each other, and I drove him here." I mean, yeah I could say yeah I'm a U.S. blader, or I'm an Indiana (Hoosier) Blader, but saying I'm with the FWB makes you feel better. It's saying that I know there's friends who got my back, if I need to borrow some parts, or I need help fixing something, or something like that. Tell me you're getting this right?
We do battle as individuals though, with no holding back against our crew members.
RE: FWB Crew: Fort Wayne Bladers Thread - Bey Brad - Jul. 27, 2009
To be honest, I have more fun competing against my friends than being on a team
RE: FWB Crew: Fort Wayne Bladers Thread - Pepe le Penguin - Jul. 27, 2009
Same here. Beating my own team member feels extra rewarding.
But do you at least think the team battling like they did in the old show would be fun for exibiton though. Each team pick a member that goes up and does like a Best two out of 3 or something, then you move on to the next team member. I think'd it'd be pretty funny to see people trying to blame their friend for losing, or giving good hardy advice. It'd probably turn out pretty funny
RE: FWB Crew: Fort Wayne Bladers Thread - Bey Brad - Jul. 27, 2009
I think it definitely has the potential to be fun, sure. There's lots of stuff the WBO doesn't sanction for competitive play that I think is great to do outside of the WBO
RE: FWB Crew: Fort Wayne Bladers Thread - Pich - Jul. 27, 2009
That would be pretty fun, haha. We should try it sometime. :d
RE: FWB Crew: Fort Wayne Bladers Thread - fragbait - Jul. 27, 2009
You could do it like Smash (here we go again right guys? XD)
Basically, in crew battles in Smash, each crew picks X amount of players, and an order for them to play in. Then crew member 1a battles 1b, and whoever wins moves on to the next round. Although, for Bey, I could see something like the crew leader picking a person blind, then the other crew leader picks someone blind, they go 3 rounds, then another blind pick goes up until one side wins X amount of times.
RE: FWB Crew: Fort Wayne Bladers Thread - Pepe le Penguin - Jul. 27, 2009
That'd be sweet too! I like the tournaments styles from the old beyblades though. That's where I got the idea. It's a little less intricate, but I think that way, you have to have all the bladers on the team be strong, and not just have one scoring all the points. Maybe next time if we get enough people at a FWB thing we could break up into 3 groups o three or two groups of 4 or something.
RE: FWB Crew: Fort Wayne Bladers Thread - Bey Brad - Jul. 27, 2009
Except nobody ever did team tournaments in real life ... the closest ever to this being official was a partner tournament Takara did in 2002.
RE: FWB Crew: Fort Wayne Bladers Thread - Pich - Jul. 27, 2009
So? It's just for fun. XP
Hadn't known Takara ever did that, though.
RE: FWB Crew: Fort Wayne Bladers Thread - Bey Brad - Jul. 28, 2009
I know it's just for fun. Just that he said "tournament styles from the old Beyblades", when in fact it never actually happened.
RE: FWB Crew: Fort Wayne Bladers Thread - Pepe le Penguin - Jul. 28, 2009
I mean from the old Beyblade shows. Like between the a Allstarz, WHite Tigers, Team Psychic, and that stuff
RE: FWB Crew: Fort Wayne Bladers Thread - Pich - Jul. 28, 2009
Oh, you thought he meant real life? Sorry bout that.
RE: FWB Crew: Fort Wayne Bladers Thread - Bey Brad - Jul. 28, 2009
lol yeah i did
if we are to emulate the anime we need to get some evil russians and a lot of ice
RE: FWB Crew: Fort Wayne Bladers Thread - Pich - Jul. 28, 2009
Haha, if we wait until winter, I doubt ice will be a problem. Dunno about the russians, though.......hahaha
RE: Fort Wayne Bladers -Announcement- - Pepe le Penguin - Aug. 16, 2009
This blader club will hopefully be very successful, providing that all the basic needs are kept.
We have a free location and we can schedule nights to use it. We have a lot of extra plastics to be lent (because it'll be mostly plastics), we have some stadiums, and we have a starting number of people. I'm optimistic.
RE: Fort Wayne Bladers -Announcement- - McMongol - Aug. 16, 2009
You should talk to the manager and see if he would be interesting in getting some MFB in stock there as well for the members who don't have access to online shops.
RE: Fort Wayne Bladers -Announcement- - Pepe le Penguin - Aug. 16, 2009
Yeah, I knid of hinted that to him, and he didn't really seem very interested. His shop is split in to two main catagories. Half is NCAA and Pro sports cards and memorabilia (SP?), and the other half is Comics, board and card games. He doesn't sell toys or models, unless its like heroclix to go along with the comic book theme. I talked to my local Books Comics & Things, and they said that when MFB comics come to America that they would stock them, if I come in and tell them when they come out. And I asked about the battle tops, and the lady there said she'd get back to me on that.
RE: Fort Wayne Bladers -Announcement- - Pepe le Penguin - Nov. 02, 2009
Just to let anyone in doubt know, The FWB is going to be coming back alive!!!! More kids from school have found old beyblades, and more people are interested.
My current work schedule:
+Recheck to see if the community rooms at Clem's Collectables have open slots
-Find what days and times each week will be avalible
-Choose best day of the week for group members
+Create facebook group
-Find out what days work best for members
-Get members to make WBO accounts
-Inventory total number of stadiums and beyblades
RE: Fort Wayne Bladers -Announcement:finding new location- - Pepe le Penguin - Nov. 11, 2009
Went to Clem's today with xenoka, and they have changed their minds about letting us use their community room. Reasons being; they need the space for stock, because of the holiday season coming up, and they do not carry the product, so they do not feel it is worth it
WOrking on finding a new space.
RE: Fort Wayne Bladers -Announcement:finding new location- - Pich - Nov. 11, 2009
Awww, oh well. Have any other ideas?
Maybe Books, Comics, and Things?
