The ChoZs are still getting outclassed by aH hS (rp)P. Well, maybe not ChoZ-S, that one's harder to get.

I don't think a ban will solve anything. I think we need a second Limited format for burst, one where aH hS (rp)P and B3 are just totally banned (maybe ChoZ-S too, maybe not). And I know people like waiting until a line completes before adding in additional limited formats, but for the sake of our currently awful meta, don't wait, make it soon.

There's a definite focus on Atomic Eternal and Bearing being the only quality stamina and defense tips. Maybe that's fine, or maybe we should consider banning all 3 of em in a format. That would maybe lead to Xt+ becoming unstoppable, so it's a slippery slope.

I'm not sure even with a new format this is a problem that can be solved. The meta just stinks.

If Archer Hercules, Hell Salamander and the Phoenixes didn't exist, we'd be using Crash Ragnaruk and Geist Fafnir instead, both of which are much, MUCH easier to Burst, even on Xtend+, Eternal and Atomic.

But looking at this objectively yeah those 3 beys are stupidly op... it's just the way the meta is going... big fat bulky hybrid beys, just like MFB standard.  This is why we have the new "classic" format so we can have a meta that most wbo members prefer, and that being an attack focused one.

Well I do own Salmander and to tell you this strange thing happened the last torunament I was at. I used Salmander 4glaive destroy at the semi finals in 5 bladed mode and it looked like it was going to end but nope, it stole spin using destroy's free spinning ring.(it still got a sleepout finish) so yeah, thing is Salmander on bearing can be good but is very weak. I'm not sure how it does against cho-z awakening layers. Atomic has a bit more burst resistance but still bursts. Chozetsu Spriggan outclassed most of these beys now because of burst stoppers and it's left rotation, and probably bulky size. Attack combos in burst is not a good recommendation for the fact that some beys can't handle the recoil so it's like asking for a burst. Beys like chozetsu valkyrie fixes that. Attack beys are not used alot for that reason cause I don't see alot of people have dash drivers. Only problem is is restricting those beys would only lessen the amount of spin equalization combos. Since Salmander has at least near to zero recoil in defense mode. And with bearing if you're not in the center you lose stamina fast. Atomic fixes that issue. 

Hell Salmander has good stamina but if it didn't have something like atomic or bearing it would become outclassed because it's not good at attack. It's blades are too smooth.

i also happen to own salamander. 4glaive destroy isnt good compared to what the best salamander combos are. destroy combos will lose to Xt+ and Et.

hell salamander needs to be hit because right has trouble dealing with it, and hell salamander can beat any other left bey either through defense(mostly) or attack.
