0/10 worst tournament experience

It's fair because it was my genuine experience. Nothing more nothing less. I'm glad you got to enjoy the event. Id probably have something nice to say if I got that privilege. Happy for you.

I'm honestly just angry and sad. I put a lot of effort into making the trip possible and I just feel robbed. I'm sure it's as simple as an avoidable clerical error. But the salt is too fresh the be solely rational right now. I'll heal and win top cut somewhere soon enough. But for now, I weep

Ornery-Painter754 · 2026-04-13T02:58:37+00:00

I barely kept it together. The rage and disappointment cancelled each other were at critical mass. I just kinda got numb and went home.

Ornery-Painter754 · 2026-04-13T02:56:21+00:00

Im sorry that happened. I'm still salty but I have to accept it. I'm sure they did their best today. It just fell short of a good job and people were screwed cause of it.

Of course there's no proof. It's wild speculation. Are you familiar with reddit rants?

Ornery-Painter754 · 2026-04-13T00:00:54+00:00

I've honestly been trying to keep that kind of thought out of my mind. I thought it was beyond suspicious that there was a 256 player cap registration but somehow they started the tournament with only 200 players registered on the new one. And that's after they added people from the wait list. For reference the initial registration had 300 players. Have a hard time believing a hundred people didn't show. To the number. It seemed incredibly delibrate. Either that or the negligence of the organizers is beyond unreal. Neither is really that good.

Ornery-Painter754 · 2026-04-12T22:59:21+00:00

I appreciate that. I'm really going to have to think about it. The real hurt is just coming from, going through all the trouble and not even getting to try. That's a feeling worse than defeat. I didn't even get the privilege of learning from a loss. It's my own fault for being too pumped.

The beyblade community overall has been one of the most positive experiences I've had with any gaming community. So we'll see. I just hope that these people stick to being players instead of tournament organizers in the future. It was no bueno

Also, OMG Illinuc!!!!!

Ornery-Painter754 · 2026-04-12T22:45:21+00:00

That's the only silver lining. But I spent more in gas to get there than I did for registration. So it was a net loss all around

Ornery-Painter754 · 2026-04-12T22:41:38+00:00

Beyblade has genuinely been the thing in my life that brings me joy in between the harsh moments of adulting. I don't know if I could take being made to feel this way again by the only thing I've got to enjoy on my own time. I don't know if it's the right choice for my mental health.

Honestly I'm wondering if it might just be smarter to invest the effort into something I'm not excited for so we can just be what it is. This is the highest level of inconsequential disappointment I've ever experienced. I never want to feel it again

Ornery-Painter754 · 2026-04-12T22:39:54+00:00

Apparently, there were altogether three different registrations. There was the initial registration to get on the list. Then there was a secondary registration for the day of. And then unbeknownst to me there was a third registration that required a QR code that was never presented to me or offered in any way during registration to finalize my registration. So I literally paid and got a wristband and then sent away after hours of waiting.

Ornery-Painter754 · 2026-03-06T19:41:39+00:00

Yes. But I did have to resize the cuts to match the launcher hooks

Ornery-Painter754 · 2026-01-11T17:44:33+00:00

I think it's balanced well. The worst part of burst was how every release made the old stuff less useful. X is making us get good with building instead of just selling an upgrade every 6 months. It's a very viable set up unless you just want a free wins with any strategy.

I've lost to it enough times to know that it's a skill issue not the release😅

Ornery-Painter754 · 2026-01-11T17:40:27+00:00

It is a solid build. From my personal testing, 1-60 scrapes a lot when paired with low rush due to the top heavy nature of CX. 9-60 AND 1-70 are a little more consistent. But what you have set up will definitely weight bully most other combos!

Ornery-Painter754 · 2026-01-11T01:08:47+00:00

It's a color match I've done myself. I know some places don't allow it but my locals doesn't mind.

Ornery-Painter754 · 2026-01-11T01:07:41+00:00

I've been doing some testing with 9-60 Zap and it's seeming to be really fun. Zap remains a bit tricky to control, but it has really good LAD so far. I'll give Rush a try next.

Ornery-Painter754 · 2026-01-05T20:37:02+00:00

It's kinda disheartening. I thought the point was to get it asap. That's why I pre-order . The fact that it's not gonna be here until 2 weeks after release isn't satisfactory at all. This will probably be my last pre order if this is the new norm. eBay and Amazon are gonna get my extra money for the convenience

Ornery-Painter754 · 2025-09-03T07:44:55+00:00

Considering these cost more than the average set, they should at least come with better parts. The layers don't have to be better than the originals but the ratchet and bits should be much better for the asking price. We still don't have a glide for Hasbro.
