Bumping this... 2019 predictions?????? SOL Pro mods for Lyndon, Liam, and Alex possibly new woods/updated paint types new pastel colorways with tracking no new shape KUSA New pro mods for Wyatt, Nobu, Alex, TJ, Joris w/ shift/slim shapes and silk or sticky paint varying between players Turner, Colin, Zack "retire" from Kusa, possibly get limited edition commemorative mods update string packs to make them longer/include bearings no new shape SWEETS Release a single C fraser legend mod that sells out in -5 seconds. Announce batch 2, releasing in 3035. (@Sam Strohmyer) Update HGs to the legend mod shape, or just a new shape Release refined prime shape, likely with wider cups rims and other adjustments boost tama size new paint type Bryson Lee goes pro Add some new slayers to the Sweets team KROM Shuts down because of poor weight matching on 8 year B-days Release new line of slaydawg 2.0's new pops in pro mod shape with updated rubber paint (unlikely) No new shapes ANALOG 2018 was their breakout year, continue to impress with high-quality damas Continue to refine squab shape (already teased 1.5 type base cup) new woods Collab with sweets Dave Cher, Edwin James Pro mod OTHER 18 tap by the end of the year Active Tiblex Pro mod Some obscure company tries to come out with same crazy shape, it is a complete failure 14 sling People start getting more creative Bryson Lee posts a clip to instagram (unlikely though)
My prediction is within X-XX years, it's 20XX and we're all playing with Biggies/ Sumos with no small cup, with the tackiest cushion-esque paint imaginable. KWC makes a bigger box to accommodate everyone. 'Old' dama heads are now super old- so old that kids look at us and say "wow he still has a small cup", Or "wow he uses a string still, not anti gravity paint." @ttocsic (Everyone is also a Fox/Falco Main btw)
BUMP!!! My prediction this year SWEETS •Champ mod in red/white ashteroid design (quite obvious but we'll see) •(*I keep bringing this up) Bryson,Funk, & George on the Pro Team (around KWC probably) •#TakuIsLegend •BLUE LUZUMAKI KUSA •(I mean I didn't expect dwesty to be pro last 2018 but if he did then...) Nobu, Joris, & Scags are the next candidates for the pro team (if nobu stays in the top spot in KWC, defenitely most considerable to be in the pro team) •(Still calling it) Revamp old v3 solid pro mod colors. Add/modify it to new design or just stay solid on the new shape. (or maybe the new craft colors design with all 4 colors into one) •old pro mods(v4 till the kaizen 2.0 shape) prior to the bish mod and dwesty mod will bump to either shift or slim. •NEW half splits, trip stripes, and (*I wish) FADES KROM •Rintaro Kanemoto and Soma Fujita for Krom Japan •Pewdiepie Dama???(*kinda feel like his design fits for a krom kendama) can we make this happen? •(*still hoping till this day)REVAMP 1st 430XKrom trip splits damas (in rubber paint, or in LOL clear, don't care anymore just bring it back) •Also the Krom 430 coach jacket •New S/S(corn,sahara,clover) and W/A (pumpkin,tundra,moss) pops •9bday is in mocha/creme color OZORA •Year of the pig probably the reshape •Reshape solids TK16 •New Zoomadanke colors Legaxis •Will do natties again, will do keyaki one way or another
I was just saying in another thread that I hope we see an updated line with the new All-star bevel and sticky paint.
@Edric Owen Ladera I don't know if they'll do a Year of the Boar in the REShape but the regular one is already out.
Bumping this 2020 Predictions anyone? Quick rundown of what has happened within the first 5 days of 2020 Alex Mitchell has now officially been announced as Sol’s newest pro and his pro mod drops in Feb. Alex and Logan Tosta both took BatB 2020 in Open and Freestyle respectively. Sweets and Krom announced new players at BatB. . . . I’m sure we’ll see new revamped pro mods from Sweets this year and possibly one or 2 players moving up to Legend. KUSA might promote or bring in a new player to the pro team and I’m gonna guess announce at least 1 new player for Tribe. And of course Rui getting a champ mod for winning KWC last year. Sol has yet to release the Su Lab collab on their own site yet but a promo for Dama to the Death has also teased a yet to be released dama from Sol at the event. I want to guess a new collab with Honed Media? Analog may bring in new players, possibly a new pro? We’ll see a new shape from GT that will replace the E1.
at least the euro scene hasn't been destroyed by young Japanese slayers yet haha and to stay on topic: Sol will release more collaborations with independent artists/people (like mumu & this omelette tama)
