Version 2 Hearsay /Rumours

Version 2 is finally here in singapore after so long of waiting. there are many stories /sayings and rumours among Gamers , Card collectors and even some arcade staffs. Here are some of the them listed below...Some can be true but others maybe mostly stories...lah

* Currently is S$2 per game...Price will drop back to S$1.50 when school term start @ Jan 2010. Otherwise, it will be hard to attract people to play because $2 is really expensive

* Most of the GOLD cards are hidden on the 1st half of the deck

* There are > 4 sets of cards sequence for version 2. Some experts said that each deck had 2 different sets of sequence ....and there are now 8 sets of sequnce for the 4 different decks !!

* Deck A is Red Scorpion
* Deck B is Lion
* Deck C is Bald Eagle
* Deck D is Bengal tiger

* The market price for all Version 2 Gold cards will go up and maintain around $60 instead of current $45 - $50 rate (version 1)...

*Those obsoleted Version 1 foil card's price will continue to rise as there is no more in operation when version 2 launch

* Version 1 Great white shark price will go up to between $65 - $75 since there is no shark Gold card in Version 2

* Version 2 Bengal tiger price will be lower since it had almost the same picture between both version and the promo card had spoilt its market !

*Some of the Jap card such as hippon family , scorpion family , kid/Joe tiger , black hole etc...price will drop alot since it is currently available in version 2

* Version 2 champion card is Shark.

* There is a hidden secret for certain combination of STRONG + Mriacle card to pair up the Great white shark /Champ Shark. This had something to do with the new 422 strong card to match

* The ban for 3 times champion(version 1) will be lifted and reset again

* Had heard that some arcade now only hold 1 round of tournament per week (no more 2 or 3 rounds within same day)

* People also said that some arcade may continue to hold tournament for English version 1 / 2 cards only (Jap card not allowed) and only those < 16 yrs old can participate

* Rumours saying that ZoneX had started to shuffle the card decks , Virtual land/Star factory 's management is considering to shuffle the decks and only Timezone remain to load the deck in its original sequence
--> If all arcade centers shuffle theirs card decks...all prices for foil card (especially GOLD card) will rise dramatically...entire market will collapse

* There are missing GOLD card from the deck...some mention its due to the re-shuffle (Maybe its still hidden within the deck somewhere)and others says its stolen by the arcade staff

* Certain 7-11 store / arcade staffs had taken out some foil cards (especially Gold card) and seeking Dealer to sold off the lot. However, the dealer had refused to accept this lot.

Tournament Winner (Japan)

In Japan, they display both the Champion and 2nd place winner's name.
