This is exactly the type of content the yugitube space needs but has been missing, so it’s great to see one of the GOATs providing it.

"We don't know if the Trap Card is Compulse, Imperm, or Daruma Cannon until we open the box" "Activate Torrential" "Shut Up"

First thing you need: being Jesse Kotton

So from my understanding, summoning both Blue-Eyes and proceeding to battle would technically have the highest success potential because the advantage is guaranteed vs Compulsory and Imperm, and vs Daruma, the pressure to make a decision is actually put back on the opponent since two monsters on the field now represent multiple unknown options as well. I found that crossing each main decision line with each main unknown on a table (1 = Advantaged Outcome, 0 = Neutral Outcome, -1 = Disadvantaged Outcome) really helped me understand an experiment like this. Would really appreciate any feedback/ideas for applying this concept further, great video all around. 👍

The timing of this video is PERFECT 👌 Congratulations on the win King!

This was actually amazing. It's easy to say "just play around everything" but when you present the topic like this, it really digs deeper into the why and how we *play around everything* mentality. 10/10

Great video but a bit frustrating for headphones users that you only get sound from one side

Dude. This content is incredible. Not only is the production insane, the wisdom is so valuable. For many years I’ve been a casual duelist purely because of budget constraints, which sort of kept me from having the motivation to go deep into game theory. Now that I have expendable income I’m trying to up my skills so that I can have experiences like attending a YCS. Please keep this type of content coming and humongous congrats on the win 🏆 what you’re doing for the community is much appreciated!

why my left ear

I have never been so engrossed in a Yu-Gi-Oh video on KZfaq before. Started off intending to have this on in the background and couldn’t stop watching. Really insightful to hear Jesse break this down.

This is the exact type of content i was hoping for when i subscribed. Really enjoying the higher energy and faster pace in addition the invaluable information.

1. Congrats on the win! 2. Ain’t no way you starting a Yugioh video with Quantum Physics. XD

I know people have already said that this is the type of content the community has a need for. But I also want to stress that the quality of the video itself it also very high and it shows. I hope you continue doing this type of content!

Hey Jesse, nothing here to say besides that this content is great content, I'm glad this exists. Keep up the good work and I hope this video gets infinite views. It's really hard to explain the esoterics behind some of these super skillful plays and deckbuilding choices, especially for people that mainly play on sims. This type of content really helps mitigating bad faith arguments around the skills involved in a high level match of ygo or card games in general.

This is definitely the kind of competitive content that we need more of. That was very informative.

I rly like these kinds of videos with examples. Can u please do a video on how you approach side decking?

Great video and great quality! Congrats on your win! 🔥

Love this content Jesse! :) Congrats to the YCS and greetings from Germany!

Your wisdom is always appreciated. Thank you, Sensei!

Quality editing and insight, keep it up champ!

I love these kinds of videos, I feel these technical knowledge videos that apply to multiple formats are something we need more of. Extremely informative and useful! Congrats on the win btw! P.S. kudos to the editor, love the transitions and we can see the effort that went into putting everything together 👍

Great video Jesse as always 🎉

i really liked this video! hopefully you'll make more like these with examples for us casual players trying to become more competitive :D

This type of content is amazing, thank you Jesse, keep it up !

Awesome vid and some solid casual freindly advice Thnx JC

I find a good way to think of negates and stoppers are like club bouncers. If you see them more as protection and intimidation you'll fare better than someone who shotguns them at every turn when they don't necessarily need to. Your average go-first board won't have 6 disruptions for a 6-card hand. The best method is to generally wait until their resource level matches or is under the threshold of the interruptions you have. It's what makes stopping cards that send for cost more ideal targets for negation than not. If you just do one-for-one trades you're leaving yourself open to a potential blowout card. If you hold things more, your opponent has to play a constant cat and mouse game that could ultimately lead to them misplaying on their own or walking into a worse trap. It's also why if you do play something like Mannadium for example and have multiple interruptions, the thing that gets your opponent may very well just be the Ash blossom or imperm that they didn't know about and that you should ideally save for last as opposed to stopping it with something they know about.

Excellent content Jesse! This is exactly the kind of competitive content that Yugioh is missing! See ya at the next Niagara/Toronto regionals!

Excellent video, love this kind of competitive content explaining how to actually get better at the game

This was very insightful and i would love to see more content like this in the future! It was also really cool to see you at the rosemont regional and watch some of your gameplay. I ended 7th with pure SE, but you were definitely piloting the snake eye cards better than i was after watching some of your games 😅. Looking forward to your next upload, and huge congrats on the uds championship win!

Wow this was amazing! Very cool to see the in-depth analysis! It’s like I’m taking game theory all over again

Love this exactly what I need to become a better player thank you!! 🙏🏾

This was an amazing video! Hopefully more of this series is to come! Also congrats on the UUDS win! My man is the GOAT!

Very good insight on the game. Thats why you’re a champion. One of my main problems is my lack of matchup knowledge and not putting extra thought into what I could be playing into. I have learned to play around ash, imperm etc, but it’s the actual archetypes I need to learn to play around better. Like knowing when to ash or interrupt.

Love the competitive content keep is going!

new edit quality is extraordinary! also this video taught me a lot. Hearing the mentality of Yugioh Champs is always mind blowing.. like when your opp doesn't have full combo with 3 cards still in hand.. these are likely hand traps (or maybe extra normal summons that they couldn't use?). I'd assume they're hand traps and expect to get interrupted during my turn. I picked this up from Josh, and now.. playing around stuff that I can/'t beat mentality from Jesse. Scenario A vs B.. I love it!

The GOAT dropping knowledge. Much appreciated!

Congrats on the big win man!

Congrats on the Win champ and thanks for such educational content :)

Congrats on the win goat! And this video is an unexpected surprise and treat, thank you. X)

Love this type of content 🔥

Great video and congrats on your victory!

Was a pleasure meeting you at the Chicago regional. Great content 😊

Top Quality content and nice presentation/edit. Great Video, I'm anxious for more!

Congrats on the win! And thanks for the amazing video!

Absolute banger vid Jesse! Congrats on the UDS win! Jesse Kotton Intimidating Aura strikes again

Sending you love from your mother land 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 We are always routing for you this side

Love the new editing and transitions

I really enjoy your "advice" videos. I would like to think that I've gotten better at deck building because of them. Congrats on the win. How many UDS titles do you have now?

Also great video, beside the great impute it looks really professional 😊

Congratulations for your win at the UDS Jessie!

Awesome video! Im a big fan!

He really showed a situation in which the dragon player looses regardless. 😂. My boy a chess god outchea.

This is the kind of content we needed in the scene Jesse. Thank you. Can't wait for "How to win a UDS"

The last tipp was really helpful. It is so obvious, but I always give away my advantage by prematurely activating effect. Gonna keep that in mind and let my opponent outplay themselves ;)

Man, no wonder you have 37k subs! Quality content and nice video!

Great video! would love a follow up that's some simple examples to think through (like yugioh 'win this turn' puzzles). Also sad that you mentioned schrodinger but not quantum cat, the yugioh card

Congrats on the W u are goated fr

So basically just hold your interactions till you have to use them or they can be most effectively used to stop your opponent

Great vid man

Congrats on the uds win man! I was so happy you won. Hard work pays off

Amazing video another take would be bluffing in tournaments is great skill strategy

Love the setup!

Congrats on the win. That was a great final match

Congrats on the win! Well deserved

Very informative and congrats on the win!

Okay now this editor is really a goat ty for making this videos more intersting 🥂

Solid content brother

Congrats for the UDS, you are the GOAT. Greetings from Chile

Did you hire new editor? Vid transition is so nice. And great content too. Congrats GOAT.

Jesse congratulations on the UDS!

Audio balance seems off. I think voice is set to come out of one speaker, moreso the left.

Yo congrats on the win loved that anima play over the weekend with zeatlantis. Keep up the killer work love this video. Understanding your thought process definitely helps getting better

Jessy Cotton explains Schrödinger's traps. Wonderful! (However, didn't make a nod towards the Yu-Gi-Oh-card "Quantum Cat", which references Schrödinger's cat though.)

Great philosophy ,in other words make the best possibly play given the scenario and if they have it they have it

Okay, I haven't watched your more recent videos, but you had me at Sun Tzu 😂

Congrats King!

Just a heads up, the audio is off for this video, but it is amazing nonetheless. This is something i've trying, but I couldn't really put it into words or a solid idea, but now that you have, i feel like i can improve further

Congratulations for win . always love to see you win and grow more god bless you keep growing

A win and a new video from jesse ? We balling 🔥 Congrats chamb

great video man audio sounds a bit off, but great video regardless

Don't be surprised if you see a strange face in the grand final next time 😂 Fantastic video and congratulations

Well done, I like the thoughts

I love the critical thinking part, great supporter of it. In the blue eyes scenario pressure with 2 blue eyes was def the way. Nice video Jesse! Sam Madani here.

Opponent flips storming mirror force

Quantum entanglement really lol haha great stuff

Omg now I'm dreaming of you making a course on the mathematical foundation of quantum mechanics ❤ a man can dream. Congratulations 🎉

Really well made video! And someone said competive content was dead ihih time to resurrect it then Also congratz on the big win!

Great and informative content, make my understand that I never goin to win a YCS.

Bro your hoodie is too hard 🔥

Insane quality video!

I'm only slightly upset that no Ojamas were used in filming this video. Great stuff Jesse! keep up the great work!

Great Video.❤

Congrats on winning the UDS!! You were my favorite to win

I have so much to catch up on after 20 years of not playing 😩

Jesse & Pak, the reason I came back to to dueling.

Content idea. Constructed duels. Get 2 great players, give them specific hands + draws. Repeat this with different players and watch how the small differences affect the game drastically

The video quality 10/10 🔥

Great video :)

Congrats on being undisputed UDS Champ! Watched the Snow Stream earlier in the week too. 2024 the year of Kotton.
