ugh, it's basically all of our fault, for even mentioning the new GI Bakugan and Baku-Con together. If we hadn't mention it, most people would of been able to use them. Who even mentioned it first to SM anyway.....Stronger.....

That would be NP who contacted Lord Darkus directly.

she said she hope it is really ture so most likely she thought it was real.All the wikias like yugioh.wikia,pokemon,wikia,digimon.wikia,and bakugan wikia have unrealiable info.Anyone can edit it.Wikipedia is a different story becuase people actaully track that site and edit any false info.Even the teachers use it as a source but the cartoon franchise wikias are not official or monitored.Yugion and Pokemon wikia have been sources of unreliable info for years,Also fan fictions are always fake and are nver going to be real.How old are you anyway for believing things on wikia nevertheless fan fictions

Umm, I'm entering my fanfic in the Sccholastic Books young writers contest, and if I win, it WILL be a REAL book.

Might I mention the plethora of copyright issues involved in publishing a fanfic for profit?

I think that was the card I was thinking of, Sensei.

Ok. I just found it. It is the Clawsaurus card I was thinking of. Card number 6/6a.It says,"PLAY AFTER YOU STAND A CLAWSAURUS. SWAP ANY TWO STANDING BAKUGAN"So this is WAY UNCLEAR. I mean there are LOTS OF ways to interpret this card. It makes us, the brawlers, or even worse the judges have to GUESS as to what it means ?My 10 year old asked me for help on this and I told him I am just not sure, except we know that swap means to exchange one for another. But as far as WHERE the "swapped" Bakugan come from that are to be "swapped" with any two standing bakugan, well that is the PROBLEM !

Sucks I got a Farakspin card with no Farkspin and a Lumitroid with no Lumitroid card! lol

And there was much lulzing.

[KohdokMember]

Is there any good cards with the tins? I don't know if anybody has posted the card contents from them yet.

Not ventus, ventus has like all silver gate, lumagrowl ability, and some crappy red cards.

"Doom Wind Start" crappy? I beg to differ, sir...

Wow, you need detail help, some, doom wind start is feeble if you cant roll, so yes, it could be a waste of a perfect red card that only works on your first turn. Anyways, I havent seen many exceptional cards, but I havent obtained many GIm Timess probaly would know best.

Many good cards are not so good if you can't roll.The Farakspin card which is a Rikimaro's you can play during battle is pretty good, albeit being power level 2.

No, I meant how pathetic they were...... I won, they were using the demo Bakugan anyway. So I wouldn't even know. Still rolling needs to be 2 gates away that is what he didn't seem to understand. Yeah, we need better people to be the Battle Masters, not 40 year olds that pose and do the most retarded of things and call themselves "Battle Masters".

I once ALMOST brawled one with his official team at the side tourney. He thought there was an odd number of entrants (As opposed to an even number) and picked up a pile of steel-treatment bakugan before finding that that there was, in fact, someone else who wasn't paired with anyone.Maybe I'll challenge him to a real showdown in NYC?

That should be considered as a bye, but whatever. Ugh, still with their real team, they probubly still suck. Pff The one I brawled said that the strongest Bakugan was a Steel Neo Dragonoid 810Gs. Never Seen one before, unless it's the one at Comic-Con.... I doubt it though. If you do brawl one of them, record everything! I wanna see one of them doing their meth wrong again.....

Lawls were had.

I dont see how one decision is getting their act together, they made a huge mistake and have to pick up the pieces, but yeah, I guess I will have to continue my search for that Ventus Viper Helios, or I will just change my strat all together DX

I said they're trying. I also know that this one decision won't solve everything. This whole thing is just nuts.If we meet up in NYC before you have to brawl, I could bring my screwdrivers and try to fix your Myriad, if you want.

[KohdokMember]

Yes, it's true I want to try to get more onto the inside of SM, but that's so I can make things better than they are now.Baku-con is a horrible mess! I know this and won't be afraid to tell any SM employee the truth to their faces. The small pictures look nice: People having fun, interacting with each other and enjoying the events, but the bigger picture is not nearly so pretty with accusations (often well founded) of people cheating and questionable judging along with complaints of age-brackets, poor national coverage, and initially an expensive cover-charge. This whole thing will be chalked up as a huge loss for Spinmaster when the numbers get crunched. It was a shot at a fun, innocent tournament to hype Bakugan that has been plagued with high expectations not being fulfilled, a casual approach being brought to a serious fanbase, and competition bringing out the darker sides in people.What Spinmaster is trying to do now is get their act together and try to have some order at their own finals. Hopefully they will do a better job. If I could get into such a position that I could flash some other TCGOP business models in their faces and get some changes made then I would!

I'm actually arguing on the side of SM for once. I mean, they're trying to dig themselves out of the pit they dug themselves into. The argument people are using is a lack of instantaneous quality control.It's like complaining that they banned Cyber Stein from Yugioh and saying "But the wins of people who used them before shouldn't count!"They're banned now. Deal with it.

Well, I guess it's time to lay down the ultimatum. Haos-Emily never got back to me, so we're down to two entrants: Obito and Darkus Brawler.OBITO'S entry:DARKUS BRAWLER'S entry:And the winner is... OBITO!!Both challengers were equally matched: Both card effects made sense and both had the French-Canadian entry. Darkus Brawler used nicer artwork, but Obito used the proper font for the card title and used a sans-serif font for the text box.The real clincher is this: The card color. Obito's card effect is appropriate for a green card. However, Darkus Brawler's card ALSO seems like a Green card, not a blue one. With that, Obito is the winner.

That's true, Subterra has the best Preyas II.Let's see...Thunder Wilda 750Ingram 670Preyas II 720/300IngramLimbo GateReuseJulie's LauncherSoil ManaShadow Lash.Triad SphinxI know Subterra's idea is supposed to be XTREEM overwhelming power, but it tends to do that through sheer denial. This deck tries to play to that. You use Julie's Launcher to make your opponent lose their turn (By forcing them to return their Bakugan without a replacement). You use Ingram to get TEH EPICNESS g's, Thunder Wilda and Shadow Lash to attack your opponent's gates, and Preyas II both for Limbo gate and maybe take up the offensive. Soil Mana is your backup.Some other cards to consider are Gus's Powerblast, which is an optional Rikimaro's Surprise (And thus safer to use), Thunder Wilda or Julie's Throw to force more swaps from your opponent, or even Rock Slide is good when combined with a trap.

The next game they make needs to have online, it must have online. CPU opponents are no fun at all for this sort of game and there is no replay value at all. The next thing they need to do is have all the Bakugan!!! I played this on the PS3, they could have fit way more Bakugan in the game than they did. They should have had all the season 1 Bakugan, and they should have had everyone in every attribute. (Except for the original Legendary Warriors.) I don't really like or understand the New Vestroia rules but they could include that, it isn't really as important as fixing the game they attempted first. The mini games need to be taken out, the game was awful and they know it, that's why they added the mini games. They knew that the game they made couldn't stand on it's own. You don't see Yu-Gi-Oh games with ridiculous mini games. They also need to take out the huge battle fields, keep it simple, no collectible power-ups or secert passageways. Another thing they have to do is put in all of the ability cards from the anime. This game had no strategy, I breezed through the whole thing without thinking and relying only on muscle. I only lost once and that was in a 4 way battle, Klaus surprised me with a Gate Card I forget what it was called but it was tricky. They need to add more cards like Mind Ghost, Quartet Battle, Dive Mirage, and Nose Slap. These suggestions were brought to you today by a me. Someone who bought this game used for PS3 and had every intention to return it. I beat the game on the 3rd day, and got 100% trophies by the 5th and didn't even want to keep it the extra day.

Again, I must agree to disagree. This is why I said "DS", because it is far more suited to the minigames than the home consoles. It makes it feel more like Wario Ware. The DS also has less of a "Secret passage" problem.I will state my case for the minigames again: IF THERE WERE NO MINI-GAMES, YOU ALL WOULD BE COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW DRY THE GAME IS/THE GAME USING HAX TO HAVE HIGHER G'S THAN YOU!! I have no problem with the video game playing DIFFERENTLY from the regular card game, because if you wanted to play the regular game, you can go buy a starter pack and PLAY THE ACTUAL GAME!!As for Yugioh games, I don't see them with minigames, I see their sole reason for selling being the fact that they get stuffed with promo cards.And, like I said before about the shortness, if they tweak and recycle the same engine, then they would have more time to make a longer (and better) game. The law of sequels tends to be the opposite in the video-game universe as it is with movies: (Examples: Megaman II, Gradius II, Sonic Adventure II, and so on)
