Truly a game and show beloved by many. If I had a dime every time I saw someone on KZfaq or Reddit begging for the game to come back, I'd have enough money to buy a mint condition Chaor. The demand is there, so here's hoping.

Agreed

True dat

Many thanks :) Part of me is glad that I only have a few subs though because there's a lot less pressure. This way I can create the content I enjoy making without being worried about numbers. I hope I can always keep it that way.

it's purely because he called the show an anime, he dropped like, 89k subs

YEEEES! God that hurt to see. This card game does so much just through card art and mechanics it's crazy

Oh, the subtext for Warbeasts was dope :) There's so much rich Chaotic lore that I would have to create another video just to go over it all! Thanks for sharing this, as it reminded me of the era where I first really got into Chaotic

@@themanicpineapple8772 Right! I never got to even touch a card, but at least it's coming back 2021! :D I hope we both can get into it again one day, it's a really good and lore filled game!

Playing Chaotic with my friends at lunch during my high school days will forever be one of my fondest memories. Here's hoping it comes back some day.

Glad you enjoyed the video--seeing the reception that this video received has got me wondering if I should maybe make a video some of the gameplay mechanics at some point.

also an additional fun/hilarious aspect about the M'arrillians is that when they were introduced in the show they point out how that with all the players using them for battle the game became no fun because they would always win with them which I find hilarious because stuff like that has happened in so many card games where newer cards/card architypes made old ones obsolete or made the game one sided

Some overworlders are made in a Frankenstein lab and the Underworlders are the Monsters? Not to mention some Danian are assimilated from other tribes.

Well, Cromaxx was only available in the Secrets of the Lost City Starter Decks (as one of the pack-in rare cards; you got 3 Rares & 1 Super OR Ultra), so if you were cracking packs you had 0% chance of getting one at all.

Thank you for liking my comment

"Earth Lore" I love it.

@@Xarphor Yeah, it's a set crazy legend but it they sound like The Marrillins.

Thank you Spencer :) Your comment made my day

Merci beaucoup mon ami :)

Love you too mate ❤️

NO... YOU'RE THE Best (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)

You're too kind. Many thanks :)

And I love you to this day ❤️

@@themanicpineapple8772 I hope chaotic does return I loved playing this game. My favorite episode of the show was Code Master Chronicles Best episode ever.

I've got even more chaotic stuff on the channel if you're interested :) And I'll have more strategy game related stuff coming in the future

News should come january-February

mohamed elhedi issa trading card gamer it’s being rebooted?????

@@joefellasleep where you were living under a rock? Here watch this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qpt3icydq6vTdp8.html

My girlfriend uses Adobe Premier Pro. The software is nothing super special, but, in this pineapple's humble opinion, she's a super talented editor. I write all of my own scripts, but my videos wouldn't be half of what they are if it wasn't for her. She thanks you for the kind compliment :)

Last I checked, they were going to re-air some of the older episodes, see if there's any hype, and then give it another go. Here's hoping: I'd be so back on the Chaotic train if they jump started it again :)

@@themanicpineapple8772 and you'd be correct! I actually have a chaotic channel called Codemaster Baconater if you wanna see deck builds and more

Iv herd its comming back every year for 4 years. I need it in my life

@@zacharymorris6445 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/npeKeLugqt-uYY0.html from the man!

Hi Ryan, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! To my admittedly limited recollection, Gigantempopolis was on OG location from the first, but it alludes to the fact that they had to face something that even their massive size couldn't deal with (see Gigantempopolis card lore) . Since the last major part of the card lore seemed to deal with going back in time, Gigantempopolis got a new version that mentions that they were still around before the tribeless got whipped out. My guess is this: the new set strongly suggested that there was this thing called "The Blight" that not only completely decimated Prexxor's Chasm (see Prexxor's Chasm: The Blight) but also had boss creatures like Smildon worried ("Through Smildon faced many worthy foes, none was as deadly as the Blight"). The issue with this theory is that it might be contracted by the TV show, which has the blight making an appearance during the Invasion Arc. Not sure how cannon that is the the card game lore itself, but it's the biggest counter to my claim. So long story short: my guess is that they couldn't deal with The Blight. I'd go ahead and post this on the Chaotic subreddit if I were you and see what those folk think: there are some dedicated Chaotic fans like us who might have a better answer. Thanks for the question, and I hope you have yourself a lovely day :) All the best, Manic

@@themanicpineapple8772 ok thanks for the information. I have both Prexor Chasm Scans and I have to agree with you on your theory on the blight being a possibility for why the giants vanished. Anyways, thanks for the info. Good luck with your future endeavors

@@themanicpineapple8772 thanks for the information Manic. BTW, one more question. Do you possibly know what could have caused the Blight in Prexor Chasm? I know the show said its a sickness but I wouldn't think a sickness could cause that.

Ryan Belmont it’s kinda like Coronavirous Lol

@@ryanbelmont2676 Sorry man--no idea about that one. I was expecting some sort of reveal potentially as the lore expanded. Maybe we'll be lucky enough to get something in the future.

Dang: you really missed out :/ If you ever get the chance to find some cards and get a gang of friends together, it's well worth trying it out, even all these years later

@@themanicpineapple8772 now thanks to the internet it's possible👍

She was legit one of my favourite cards :) what a bawler

If I had a shot of booze for every time I've heard that :p Sadly, it's been "maybe coming back" for years now. It would be great if it actually came back though

It was more like some tribes hated each other less than others

If we get any direct confirmation and not just news about the card game and show "potentially" coming back, then I'll be the first to celebrate :) I'll hopefully be coming out with some new Chaotic content in the future though, so stay tuned

@@themanicpineapple8772 thanks can't wait

Admittedly, the time travel aspect isn't conveyed as well in the cards themselves as it is in the show. Dranakis Threshold, Portal to the Past as a *card* doesn't really try to bring time-travel into the game as a mechanic (it would be neat if it reset gamestates or something, rather than just remove tribes). Kiru as a card is also disappointing; it would have been cool is it counted as both an Underworlder *and* an Overworlder (it's implied that Kiru ruled the Overworld initially, then defeated Kaal to conquer the Underworld, whereupon he started living in the Underworld full-time & started losing his heroic compass). Instead he's just a mediocre support creature that doesn't really do anything for Overworlders *or* Underworlders (a shame when he's supposed to be the paragon of both tribes). I will admit tho. that Najarin's past story is done pretty well, as are the past Mipedians (for how little card coverage they get). Dinosaur Warbeasts is just an A+ idea, as is the idea that the Mipedim Desert was once a lush jungle & everybody ignored the signs it was drying up. The Prexxor Chasm set isn't so much wrapped up in time-travel (since they're just prehistoric), so while I think they're pretty neat I don't think they really qualify for this discussion.

Yugioh & magic are great, but I agree. Chaotic was the only card game that felt like a full on battle, rather than a duel.

@@zerubiszeus4687 right the moves and strategy needed

@@ZephyrBW Well, that's b/c Chaotic gives you the space to engage into long-term planning. W/ YGO back in the day you didn't know what you'd draw so you were incentivized to keep every card in your deck *around* the same power-level (very few Tribute monsters, b/c too many & you'd brick). Nowadays YGO ends so fast that your entire deck is an engine to create a board of lol-negates on your 1st turn, so again, no long-term planning. W/ Chaotic you have to think of various scenarios. There are parts of the game that you have good control of (your creatures, their gear, your mugic), & parts that could go horribly wrong (what your opponent's playing, what Attack Cards you draw, what Locations come up). So you can hedge your bets a bit but not a lot; you can think ahead in the general sense but not the specific (whereas in YGO you have no time to plan ahead at all).

@@jeandehuit5385 Yeah Your not wrong there Yugioh is now a fast attack pass game with adding unknowns every turn and always changing the plans but, with CHAOTIC the game is a long battle duel using what you have set up like a chess board and role play.

YEEEE :)

I respect your opinion good sir.

@@themanicpineapple8772 Same to you my fellow man of culture.

Honestly my favorite parts of the show were the battledrome fights, and the scan quests...

Yoooo: I was big into the Yugioh scene back in the day :) Glad you enjoyed this video

You aren't! I noticed it too :)

I mean, from a purely *lore* story-perspective, yes, I'm sure MTG has a pretty good edge on Chaotic (dunno about CFV, as I know nothing about that game). I know more about YGO & Duel Terminal, but I'm kinda blah about that (for reasons I'll get to later). But partially I think that's b/c "lore" is a bad word to describe what Chaotic's theming is good at. Chaotic presents a tangled web of relationships that unfurl w/ each card. The story isn't so much about the plot (e.g. X, then Y, then Z) or the history of this world, but making each creature card feel like a real character, who has relationships w/ other creature cards. Krekk works under Van Bloot, Van Bloot rivals Chaor, Chaor works with Takinom, Takinom is rivals with Intress. Intress works for Maxxor, who also rivals Chaor, etc. There are relationships like this all through the card game, & you discover them primarily through the cards themselves; the flavour text of one card will lead you to another, & another, & another. It's a chain of relationships. With YGO, everything except Normal Monsters lacks flavour text, so the guides (which aren't provided in English, mind you) are required to explain the 'story.' & while the story takes twists & turns, it basically boils down to 'one faction is waring with another faction'; 'one faction converts a member of the other faction'; 'some crazy eldritch thing resets the world restarting the whole cycle.' The same story is told over & over again w/ no personal stakes; we don't know the personalities of, say, "Winda, Priestess of Gusto" like we do Kamangareth (who goes from killing Danians to helping Danians, with the Danians themselves still kinda hostile towards her). Plus the *mechanics* of Chaotic are really good at telling that story; the first Kamangareth counters Danians, the second Kamangareth requires you use Danians to use her effect. W/ YGO the mechanics were designed for the manga, which was *not* about the cards themselves but rather the players (Kazuki Takahashi was writing a manga about gamers, so how gamers *constructed* their decks as a matter of psychology was what was important to him). The mechanics of the game were designed around dark magic; sacrifices, spells, rituals, & the like. The monsters were reflections of ppls. souls that had been sealed in tablets & were reawakened, requiring sacrifices (hence you ‘Tribute’ monsters to ‘summon’ stronger ones). But Duel Terminal doesn’t use these mechanics. The stories told by Duel Terminal aren’t told in how the cards interact w/ each other, b/c YGO's game mechanics mirror the occult, & the Duel Terminal stories are sci-fi tales.

What's the stretch my dude?

@@themanicpineapple8772 I just think the competition is too stiff to say "Best" definitively. I could go on a long rant about it, but honestly, I don't wanna waste your time and be all argumentative against a game I really enjoy. If you REALLY want me to, I could go into some specifics but I don't want to get into a lengthy comment debate all that much.

Was it really 'shoved in your face' tho? I never got the sense that the story overtook any more than the flavour text on the cards (& not all cards have flavour text). I mean, DoP's lore was kinda boring, as stated in the video; warring factions after the Cothica (I *do* think the Cothica was a silly addition that wasn't really necessary, IMO). But even so the main bulk of the actual lore isn't, like, the history of this world. It's more in the form of relationships. Krekk works for Van Bloot. Van Bloot rivals Chaor. Chaor works with Takinom, Takinom has a rivalry with Intress, who has a relationship with Zalic, etc. It's very much a chain of relationships to keep track of; relationships that can be helpful in terms of deck-building b/c in some cases cards that share relationships in the lore work well together in the card game (tho. not always). Plus, I mean, it's added fun when you're the guy running Van Bloot & you run into somebody playing Chaor; you just *want* to recreate that rivalry & see how it plays out. I mean, it's 'all over the place' only in the sense that the focus is on the creatures themselves rather than the world being built around them (which is kinda refreshing from a fantasy POV where most focus is on the world not the characters). I guess it's overwhelming from a YGO POV since YGO basically has no lore (want to know the story of a card? It's who owns it, full stop). *That* game is truly all over the place, since the cards inhabit no world of their own & seem to exist in their own bubbles (do Lightsworns exist in the same world as Gravekeepers? Who knows?). I mean, I can forgive this in the broad sense, since Kazuki Takahashi was writing a manga about gamers. The game was an unintended side effect that his audience became interested in, & he explored it to the best of his abilities. There was no in-game universe to explore b/c he had deadlines & had to write & draw a chapter of this thing every month (or was it week). He simply didn't have time to do that.

I'm very much looking forward to the lore being expanded upon :) M'arrillians had a lot going on for them, so here's hoping this game comes back with a vengeance.

@@themanicpineapple8772 Same here man. Wait a minute isnt the guy who made on twitter or Instagram ? Maybe can ask questions?

No
