I have some questions

[Keto]

Yes, I'm am staff that does not know 90% things on here- mainly because I lack involvement in situations that are new to me. Like reverse/reflection thing we had recently, then 4-brawler match with advantage etc. Been her 3 years, first time seeing half of these things.

So here go my questions.

1. If multiple people skip in Battle Royal while their power is lower or you have advantage can you attack and damage Life Gauge of all those people in one go or you can attack only one person per turn?

2. If my opponent has advantage and my power is lower am I winning or is he or no one is winning? Advantage is still kinda a mystery to me.

3. If I reduce MY OWN power to 0 or halve it or use any massive decrease that would normally be Green is it going to be Green regardless or is it still Blue? 

4. If I use effect 'ALL players gain advantage' is that Green or Blue since I recall some effects that Green going Blue if you're affecting BOTH sides (like attribute)?

5. If you win 2vs1 brawl as the single player you get double rewards and double victory link. Does same apply if you win Battle Royal? Since it is 5-person battle royal does it mean person gets 5 victory links and x5 multiplier on rewards?

6. If yes I have another one related to my Helios. When I entered this battle royal I forgot my Helios needs only 2 wins for next evolution and wins do no carry over, so if I win battle royal and get 5 victory links with that are 3 victory links wasted on nothing or can I give them to another Bakugan I used during the brawl so they are not wasted. I would not have participated in this battle royal if I remembered about Helios.

7. Is reducing someone's power to base a limited effect? Because I have seen in card effects that reducing someone's power to certain level IS (x1) and then there is parenthesis saying 'Except: Reducing power to base level'. So is that effect spammable like normal increase/decrease?

8. Can you prevent other player from using status-effects altogether? (E.g. advantage, preventions, continuous effects...) Of course, protection is status effect, but it's a counter so it does not count in those. If it is legal is it too general or can certain someone copyright it? Dibs.

9. Effects of Bakugan Trap's card go into limits, but do not into card counts. Does same apply for Battle Gear and the rest? 

10. What's the difference between Mobile Assault Vehicle and Bakugan Gear? I will make them MAV unless it is said there is some major difference.

11. Can I add extra attribute every time Bakugan evolves? When Helios reaches second evolution how many attributes can she have if answer is yes on this first part?

12. Is 'opposite' status counted as reverse? I do not know how to explain it exactly since I have seen it only a few times and that in old system. E.g. make all power-effects act opposite. So you put it as status for all players and when they decrease your power it is increased instead.

13. I cannot send out one person's Bakuan Trap with my Bakugan Trap, but can I send out a Bakugan Trap by using Battle Gear's effect or card effect of same gear?

14. In previous system there was 'summon 2 Bakugans at double power/double effects'. Is that still a thing or they must be summoned without any additional boost? If it is a thing does it still count as Green or is it Red?

15. Does class of cloning a Bakugan depend on severity of cloning effect or is cloning always Green? E.g. make 2 clones of my Bakugan- each at 200 G power.

16. I don't remember if I have been told about this- playing an effect like 'all players are prevented from playing abilities'- is it blue or green since I affect myself as well? And can it be done in the first place? Or 'everyone gains advantage'

17. If I equalize all players' statuses to one player's status is that legal? (E.g. I equalize players' statuses to mine. My status is 'prevented from playing normal abilities' and so all have it now. And if I do not have any status all players will be without status). Protection is always exception.

18. This is just something that randomly came to me while I have been reading these annoying advantage effects. Like inventing a sort of effect that has 'absolute advantage' or whatever. It would work like normal advantage, but with some add-ons. If you have lower power use it and it works normally. If you have higher power it is there, but it does nothing. However, if both you and opponent have advantage your 'advantage' is the winning one.

19. I read in Forbidden abilities that 'doubling all effect' is called as 'overpowered'. Maybe I just missed something, but doubling all effects... can it be used in regular cards?

20. I made that copyrighted effect- loop a condition and apply to an item in play. Can it be done with 'status' (anything in brackets except protection)? Like... loop a status and apply it to one/all players or all opponents or all allies? If that can be done and it is not too general or copyrighted you know what I want with it XD And if it is legal will it have its own count or advantage's count?

21. You annoyed yet? 


That's it for now. I would like to hear opinions and if possible Noland's opinion. Yes, I am torturing him- that is punishment for him wanting to hug Asuka and Maria.
This has been accumulating for a few days on my list. I am completely rebuilding my deck AGAIN thanks to seeing my flaws in brawls against people. I want to adapt.

Alright, here's my opinions on the advantage card questions. Back in the old brawling days, according to Carson I believe this question was answered. That if you were to play an advantage card then I would do that, then the card that was activated last is the one that's "active" but since the old advantage Card was never negated, and if my card was negated, you were the last one to play an advantage card therefore giving it to you still.

But of course, this was the old days and the rules have changed a lot.

This was never true.

I'm going to tackle these questions in order.

1. The general rule is, if you skip while you have the lower power level, your opponent has the right to attack you for damage. In the case of a Battle Royal, you are allowed to attack one person. The only instance where you can attack more than one person for life gauge damage is if it's a 2-on-1 situation.

2. A lot of you are misunderstanding the "advantage" effect to the point where you are just putting it on your cards and don't even know what it means (I mean this generally, not targeting any specific people). This effect only works when your power level is lower. You DO NOT benefit from the effect if your power level is higher. This effect affects the user, not the opponent; therefore, there should not be any mentioning of an opponent still winning with a lower power level if someone with a higher power level has the advantage. It doesn't make sense.

3. I'd allow that to go into blue, but in the event where you're doing that as a cost for a higher powered effect, it will go into green, unless the said effect is already classified as a red.

4. It's green. That's a premium effect. I don't care if you give the opponent the advantage. It will stay green. No exceptions.

5. No, because no one participating in the Battle Royal has a handicap placed on them to stand a chance.

6. I'm not answering this question, because the answer to #5 wasn't yes.

7. Reducing someone's power level to their base level IS NOT a limited effect, but...it is highly impractical to spam it. You're not doing yourself any good by using that over and over again, so don't do it.

8. It's legal. Do what you want with it.

9. There's a sentence underneath the limited effects in the battle rules that should answer your question. ^_^ If you activate those effects like we did in the old system, you'll do just fine.

10. There's no difference between them.

11. Yes, but I will not allow a regular Bakugan to reach the state of having all six attributes. That is reserved for the banned Bakugan.

12. That is not considered a counter since it only affects power levels. The moment it doesn't is when counting it as a reverse becomes important.

13. The different support weapons can combat each other when it comes to sending them back. You cannot send a support weapon back to its owner using the same type of support weapon. It's that simple. Battle Gear cannot send back Battle Gear, Bakunano cannot send back Bakunano, and so on.

14. That won't be happening. At all.

15. It depends on the severity. For example, if you clone your Bakugan ONE time, it's green. Now, if I were to use one of my effects to clone my Bakugan equal to how many Bakugan are on the field, that's red.

16. It's green. I've explained this on #4.

17. Unfortunately for you, that technique is mine. ^_^

18. I explained this on #2. You need to know how the advantage effect works and what it means.

19. No.

20. It's legal. You need to clarify on what you mean on the last question. I don't understand what you're trying to say.

21. Very.

[Keto]

Oh, I apologize for that last part of 20.
Was supposed to put it in question 18, but that doesn't work so ignore it completely.

22. Not that we are back on it I have yet another question that came to me. In old system we all have been spamming stuff like 'summon 2 Bakugans or SW'. Now I think I have not seen any rule (not even mentioned in Forbidden cards) that says you can summon only 1 Bakugan with card effect. I just recall it being a single effect, so you could not use that effect twice, but with a single effect you could summon 2.

I am asking because, as I said, have seen it a lot, have not seen the nerf and... I kinda have been using it in the old and current system too... a lot.

And would 'summon 2 Bakugans/SWs at any power below their base be allowed'? 

(I mean, I saw Akihiro's or someone's cards approved where they clone 2 Bakugans)

23. And as long as it is not premium and I go against my benefit stuff can be counted as Blue? That goes for increasing someone's power to highest recorded or doubling everyone's power except mine and my allies'?

24. Is effect 'select a number- it becomes new base power for all players' legal/copyrighted? I recall your copyrighted effect turning someone's current status and power into their base status and power, but I don't recall seeing this. Also, would it be Blue or Green in legal status?

25. I asked this in chat, but in case it goes up- victory counts cannot be obtained in Underground. Does it count for cash and honor point prize?

26. Is taking over someone's SWs Carson's copyright? I kinda recall it being that, but I am not sure. Is person who does it allowed to use effects of seized SWs?

(21. Sorry. You can hug an Admiral. And have some of her cake. Just don't let Yita see)

Oh, and for all these answers thank you very much. It must have really taken time to answer all this and will help a lot. Thank you ^_^ 

[Keto]

Bump. Zeno, hmm?
(After all these I'll have to make you a nice scene with Maria)

[Zeno]

22. I don't have a hint of a smile on my face for seeing someone throw in 2 Bakugan with one effect without an evolved Bakugan. If it happened, it is what it is, but I frown upon it since it was never my intentions for that to happen.

23. Yes.

24. To me, that's just analyzing my techniques and trying to make effects based off of it. They have different functions - possibly getting around the copyright - but I would not be happy to see that, not at all.

25. I intended for the Underground to just be for fun, as in you go in there and do whatever you want to do. You are not penalized for using forbidden abilities. You can earn cash from brawling there, but you do not get anything towards your record in terms of wins/losses or honor points.

26. Yes.

[Keto]

Didn't know that was nerfed. Sorry about that- I used it and approved cards of other people with it. It was in the old system- I can even pinpoint threads.
But my Bakugan is evolved, so guess it will be ok now.

24. Well, I did not plan to copy it. I realized it is similar to yours after I made it, but wanted to be sure.

I believe this will be all for now. Thank you for help.

[Keto]

Guess who's back...

27. If I clone a SW can I use clone's effects normally like with original SW and will there be any limitations related to it?
-If there are none I could easily clone SWs that can summon/clone other SWs and chain it up so they all loop effects like preventions and make players unable to do anything... That is why it seems kinda weird.
