Bruh 15 min in and yet >50 comments, you guys are awesome

Yu gi oh should be classed as a sport

@@keironwalker1003 yes yes yes

Imagine A yugioh Game in pokemon ways kinda like you described that would be awesome

they should Make Animes based on the lores of duel terminal or world legacy

Now that‘s what I call a hot take

Wholesome

depends on the stranger/friend

I have a hard time enjoying it against a stranger. I always worry about annoying my opponent or what they think of me.

I love yugi oh the best anime but even in otaku their person they say it's for kids

Lmao, was that from the enter the shadow realm filler arc? Man I miss the show!

@@John-fn8bw it was Virtual World arc, the lamest of them all lol

It’s much more fair than 99% of people will ever admit. It’s just played by man children. Sore losers, man children etc.

Still better than Wizards of the Coast.

Not frustrating eh say that to my opponent who had a complete negate field monsters and hand traps

*Cries in reptiles*

tru i havent seen a pyro support card in a pack for about 2 years. might just be my bad luck tho

*cries in aliens*

*cries in laval*

Cries in all of the replied per this thread AND water type casters. Especially, with the fact that there is ONE water caster sync monster (Banned/limited btw) and NO water type xyz caster. Cries of utter ferocity.

Your next line is, "Gagagigo should get an archetype"!

One thing I've wanted to see for *_years_* now is some anime thing that tells the story of the Duel Terminal. There is so, so much material there for an anime it's kind of insane.

Having an anime of the first part of duel terminal would be great. Maybe put characters to represent the tribes fighting the worm as well as some for the worms, kind like GX season 3, but done right, like with quality and respect to the lore.

Dude I’ve wanted this forever !!! Like the story of dark magician or a spyral mission or outstanding dog maron or the world legacy something not duel related

I want to see an anime take place in the duel world place that Kaiba sets up in DSoD where players actually open packs and edit decks, but still have big an flashy duels with the final objective being you get to face off against Kaiba himself if you make it to the top. And IF you beat Kaiba you get your deck you used to beat Kaiba sent to you in the "real world" with special logos on them showing you took down one of the greatest duelists in history.

When in reality it absolutely is. The card creates literally 0 advantage and is no different than using a summoner monk. The targets you get are what is broken.

Robin Foot but the thing is, there’s too many good targets, each good cards for their archetypes such as jet synchron. I’d rather just ban needlefiber than making like 5 decks bad

Yeah true. It is still nonsense to call halqifibrax broken because other cards are broken. Especially when konami keeps printing cards like say master peace or degenerate draw power like card of demise.

@@robin2934 Yeah i never understood that all im hearing is needlefiber makes so many bad decks viable is that somehow a bad thing? and their main argument is always linkross or auroradon then ban auroradon and linkross.Its amazing that people think token spam in master rule 5 won't be abused one way or another.

@@skerion7956 that is exactly my point too. People let themselves get brainwashed by konami too easily. Sure the card gets abused but if you take Halq out of the equation the broken cards that it creates are still broken at the end of the day. It just gets ignored because the decks that can use them are not playable.

Same.

That's so dumb Obviously Pegasus is the one that drew all the cards

I thought pot of greed let you draw cards

I remember when I, as a 31 year old man, until about 10 minutes ago, was amazed by what a prolific artist this Kazuki Takahashi guy is.

Probably because since the cards are free, you see the meta so often it's annoying to even play. "time to test my new DE...." 7 negates and no summons or gets otk'ed

@@bloodfest8510 or my goku deck that wins me games as soon as I summon goku

Yeah, all those “no meta, no T1,T2 decks, no ash blossom, no pot of extravagant” rooms

This (and people are in the right to complain)

I still play gustos imagine setting a monster in the game these days

Definitely contradicting

The only time "Old School Classic Beatdown" was a thing was in 2002 when the meta cards were La Jinn and Summoned Skull. There were a bunch of formats way before 5D's and none of them were 'beatdown'. The latest thing that could relate is "Beastdown", played during Goat Format.

Yea, the title is kinda misleading.

Agreed, didn't bother watching after 10 mins. Thanks for confirming what I thought. :P

@@CyframerEX I mean if you got 10 minutes in it probs wasn't cus you were mislead, it's cus you have a small attention span and couldn't be bothered XD

So you would agree this video is his worst hot takes video? Boom not click bait :p

I mean, the game hasn’t been good since xyz summoning, peg and link summoning was legit trash

I think it's the illustrations company actually

The artists who draw YuGiOh! stuff actually SELL the rights of their artwork to Konami. So it's actually their own fault.

Konami is known as a "scheme"-y corporation, to say the least so don't expect anything from their brands.

I think it's for the better, the less power artists have the less they can bitch about politics on twitter. YGO doesn't need to become thae cesspool that is Magic.

@@8thst774 funny how people say MTG is a cesspool politically or on the workfloor, but YGO is a cesspool in terms of consistency and playability

yep lightforce sword helped alot.

GX also had several scenes of characters opening boosters and editing their decks and testing them out

@@LinkGamerBlue they were also going on adventures finding cards. It was sick

I've been saying this so much. You ban Jet Synchron, you completely take away Jet Warrior being used ever. Imagine not being able to play a monsters because it's material is banned? Lmao

@@torakandwolf6786 Guardian Elma says hi

@@torakandwolf6786 well, there are Righty Driver and Junk Anchor, who count as any Synchron (plus Quickdraw but he's level 5), but the real problem is that he's the best level 1 Synchron tuner (and definitely helps with Speeder combos)

Synchrons:Splish splash your opinion is trash Me:Bu- Synchrons:TF DID U SAY

Konami can literally just errata Jet Synchron to force it into only its archetype. Problem solved

I kno right , that sound track is used everywhere

Its a good sound track

Price be a good song

I never saw it coming

It was not my last surprise

The Konami stuff doesn't sell as much as third party in the U.S., that's why they stopped i believe.

Exactly. Like, why don't we have official duel disks yet? I NEED ONE!

You can always reprint the older cards into newer sets to renew their legality, but really I'd rather just have a format that uses newer cards but banned the degenerate T1 nonsense. I don't like this competition of who can prevent the other person from playing YGO anymore.

It could break those decks. They'd have to implement some sort of rule that allows specific archetype cards to be played regardless of rotation (or release a list of archetypes that are "in rotation").

improvement takes courage and effort. yeah, the design philosophy would have to change, and that would be a good thing. the reliance on arqutypes could hurt if changes were implemented. but with good design and communication things could work. Just make things like in other games where instead of arquetypes you rely on other aspects for player identity. so, instead of dark magician jsut play the beast spellcaster deck

>It would require Konami to completely restructure how sets are designed, Well, I mean. They're doing that right now, with separation of anime cards into rush duel only sets. Set Rotation seems to be basically ready for OCG's introduction of Rush Duels.

Yeah i think it was intentional

Wish there was something like forbidden memories again

Yugioh Duelists Of Roses Remake?

_most_ decks wouldn't be a thing

@@Sillimant_ The people who unironically support it just want a god damn modern GOAT format for all the wrong reasons. XD

heh, Ironically I play D/D/D in trinity (a format that limits players to 3 summons a turn) and the deck is playable just because Gilgamesh is so overloaded, and because fusions are fairly powerful for being summon efficient

THE WHOLE GAME WOULDN'T EVEN BE PLAYABLE ANY MORE!

Well, it’s not as bad as you would think. Check out the Trinity Format on ygoprodeck.com

Complaining isn't the issue it's more complaining about the game, it's okay to not like certain aspects I for one never really liked pendulums whether it's using or facing them but I don't say the game is unfair or ruined by it. I tried out the cards when they were relevant but now it's easy to just not play them. I can still have fun with links and xyz and synchro, there's just decks out there that I won't have fun with like everyone else and I think the problem is people acting like that ruins the game.

@Reign Supreme I totally agree. As stupid as it may sound, I just want to make a deck I like and can have fun with. That's why I don't play competitively and just play with friends.

@Reign Supreme smogon tier system for yugioh?

@Reign Supreme *YES*

@@lucasalarcon3230 honestly that would fix this. I quit yugioh during syncros and came back now and everything is so insanely fast.

there is no way to fix this problem unless kanami bans all the generic extradeck monsters

That's always been my problem. Too many decks feel like they're either vehicles to the extra deck, or they're stun decks that aren't fun to play against.

I disagree. Generic/splashable extra decks are good for resuscitating older archetypes.

Let me rephrase this: People playing staple cards makes the game boring because everyone uses staples. People are going to have strong generic cards. Just because it’s in the extra deck doesn’t make them better. Complaining for the thousandth time about decks being “needlefiber decks” is the same stupidity as complaining a deck using an engine is “x deck”. People played brilliant fusion a lot, doesn’t mean they were gem knight decks. People played Orcusts with mermaid, but the orcust cards were the main source of the power and the other cards were consistency, so they both end on the decklist’s name. Just because a deck uses a staple card/engine does not automatically make it a boring deck.

the generic cards problems( staples) has it´s root at the game´s base design. it also requires less effort from the developers and increases the price of said staples to terrible levels.

Reign Supreme Ha, yeah. It's not like that doesn't work in reverse. *Cough* Rescue Cat *Cough*

I'd rather not have card rotation sure, but I think it's one of the only ways to fix the power creep that plagues yugioh. Lesser of 2 evils type of thing.

Same

That is assuming konami wants to fix power creep. Which they don't.

Speed duels seem high key trash ngl

play it online problem solved

Toeki Wilson On what? DuelingBook is alright, and probably the best simulator for IRL as it’s all manual, but it also can have some scenarios where some jank got used and now both players are wondering what to do. EDOpro can definetly feel a lot faster, but automatic dueling isn’t a very accurate way to play the game. Having a reminder every time something happens doesn’t happen in IRL yugioh. I’ll throw in Konami’s Grindy switch game which actually does a somewhat good job, except of course the grind to get your decks, then you also are playing it all in an automatic simulator (would be nice to be able to disable that in an online setting), but I do give it credit for saying things like (Your effect didn’t activate because it missed timing).

Agreed. I recently started teaching someone how to play. Luckily for me they had a knowledge of everything up to synchro summoning. Beyond that they were completely lost but I built them a Valkyrie deck (powerful, spits out wins, doesn’t require an extra deck, cheap) and they enjoy the game as a whole. However if I had a person that’s NEVER played YUGIOH in any way, shape, or form I’d absolutely start them off with speed duels. Personally I think the “format” of it needs to be adjusted a bit. I built an unofficial 20 card Yusei inspired stardust/synchron speed duel using just regular yugioh cards and I think it’s pretty fun and very nostalgic of old school yugioh and also really simple to understand. There’s not enough room to play every summoning mechanic, and being limited in zones, life points, and turns really helps ease new players in.

how long have you been playing? what do you think the game could improve?

That's a strange way to spell Needlefiber

Sillimant why is it called needlefiber if it doesn’t say that on the card please someone tell me lmao

Who the hell pronounced Block Dragon without the B? Lock Dragon?

manTa Beats needlefiber was its original name in the OCG but when it was printed first in the TCG (DuOv) they changed its name to Halqifibrax

Eduardo Bayson Oh, yeah. English is well known for being consistent with its rules when it comes to pronounciation.

I like heroes

Dark Magicians are great, better than Heroes in my opinion

Heros, its more viable then magicians.

I currently like heroes a lot, but mostly cuz I just got into YuGiOh and I don't know much of anything else hahaha

They are staples.

wait there's Cryston players?

Meanwhile, I'm pissed that Konami didn't release needlefiber before Guardragons got hit, so I can actually run the main deck guardragons....

People would run a Crystron just to play Noodle, it wouldn't solve anything

@@nikolasota4162 I used to use them in my Super Heavy Samurai deck. Synchroing a 2500 Def Harpie's Feather Duster on your opponent's turn is fun.

Yes. How DARE they make something everyone can use.

The problem with artificial handicaps are you lose the chance to play with a variety of people. Take Magic, Arena had blown up. It's a great way to play the game every day. But if you aren't playing the new companions you are at an extreme disadvantage like not even close. Sure with my family and close friends who I can sit down and play with we got our house rules and agreed upon power level but I can't take that anywhere else. I also can't take that online, especially online.

I can see people not liking pendulums or links but what confuses me is why people act like they ruined the game, there's always been decks that aren't fun to play even before links and even before pendulums.

I don't play competitive because I don't like Ash and I still think she's overhyped.

so what do you think of the game?

Same sentiments here. I just play the game casually instead of worrying myself with the new mechanics. Duel links is the best platform for returning players if you haven't tried it yet because they still haven't introduced XYZ and other new mechanics.

Was thinkin the same thing, looks good w the facial hair

THIS IS YUGIOH 7'S, AND I HAVEN'T EVEN WATCHED IT YET! (so if I'm wrong, please tell me 😂)

blood fest you are entirely 1000% incorrect. Yu-gi-oh sevens is more of a comedy than anything.

I'm still waiting BLS decent supports to make it viable

Why everybody hate me

I can definitely see why slowing the game down is controversial, considering that adds significantly more skill and thought required than having good cards and knowing how to play solitaire to get a OTK

The comparison is not that good. REDMD got out of the banlist in the OCG, but with an errata. Same for Makyura (you have to summon it first in order to use his effect and it's a HOPT for a single trap). Dragon rulers or Substitoad would be a better analogy.

I mean, when Konami can't even support their Traditional Format regularly, it's impossible to assume they can handle more than their advanced format.

Maybe if enough people wrote to their marketing department or something? It could be that they’re just stuck in their ways but if the marketing people see that enough customers/fans want change, the might be willing to hop on it to boost sales and get more people in, especially if they’re trying to compete with other card games in the market.

@@romkin1197 Fully agree. They arguably don't have any interest. Konami's corporate approach to making money is push volume. The idea that bringing old players back in to the game in an approachable way where they can use their old cards and have fun just doesn't make sense to them. "We'll just sell speed duels to kids as the new easy to understand YGO, so no need to fix the old game". This is pretty much going to have to come from the player base at LGS tournament level. I can pretty much guarantee that if Duel Links is outselling new YGO boxes, Konami will probably eventually lose all interest in supporting the TCG in time. If you're a competitive YGO player now I would be worried at how popular Duel Links is and doubly worried that Konami has essentially released a replacement product to the TCG.

@@I2obiNtube I mean just look at how Konami treats their video game customer base, they literally give no shits about their player base and quality of life. Konami are basically a mobile game company in their approach to their products.

We can literally just do it ourselves. There is grey area in holding events with prizes and tournaments but there is nothing stopping you from putting a flyer in your store saying here is the information. More info on this site. See you next Saturday.

Legitimately curious, would you think a longer rotation time than what Magic and Pokemon use would allow for enough sets to be out to support the archetypes while also being relevantly meta impactful? Say like 4 years, 6 years, or even 8 years?

Yeah screw set rotation that's one reason why I love Yugioh.

1- what is your level of knowledge regarding Magic? 2- what does being a resourse game have anything to do with rotation? 3- if yugioh is fine why bother with doing anything to improve it? 4- so you are saying a whole new way of doing things is necessary to improve things?

This is completely untrue. If there was a set rotation, konami wouldnt be slaves to the power creep and could safely make weaker cards.

Exeledus Prince If there was from the beginning then your statement would be true but this game is too far beyond that type of amendment.

Free iris and joker

Take the world!

@@robthecook1905 watch as I rip my F#$king face off n STYLE ON YOU.

@@darkriser09 steal it

I think that the physical alternate formats were very much DoA given how Konami of America didn't let you play speed duels without using speed duel only cards in order to allow themselves to force you to chase a 30$ Kuriboh Card instead of picking up the rare version for 5 cents from 2 years ago. Traditional is just FTK city, so there's no fun in playing that. Digital alt formats, however, are extremely profitable and popular. Because that's what Duel Links actually is. A straight up different format. Fusions, Synchroes. Selective card pool. Deck restrictions with a different banlist. Different Master Rule. But it still uses the same cards, gets constant updates, constant balancing, overall a lot of dev attention. So it's a very mixed back condition, really. Personally I do not know what to expect out of Rush Duels but they seem to be, at their concept, targeting exactly what Paul discussed in the video. They're essentially a super simplified version of yugioh, which is much easier to get into. The anime is aimed at younger kids in order to pull them in. They're printed in separate structure decks and booster packs, allowing for less anime chaff in the main(core) sets, and more relevant archetype cards or reprints. It has potential, in theory.

It hasn't already?

Honestly think mystic mine is helping alot of lower tier/rouge/budget/casual decks fight against these meta monster effect cards/decks keeping them in check. Making those huge combo decks think twice about not playing things such as MST

@@overlord69ification Exactly!

you need mystic mine to play this game thats the format right now

It's not even that difficult to get rid of. I don't know why people complain about it just simply use one mystical space typhoon or twin twisters

>if they have absolutely no cards on the field then you were safe to attack That hasn't been true in quite a while, unfortunately. Since...maybe 2012? I entered YGO at that point and a lot of people were just running Gorz, a card that only works if you have an empty board. Definitely deterred attacking a lot.

it was a good card for spellbooks several years ago

The first half of the first season. Then the Shadow Riders arrived.

I liked that kinda slice of life take on the series but yeah weakest gx arc by far

@@DT-yw4ob then the ad contract was signed by crowler. RAID: SHADOW RIDERS

I always hated the fact that they save the world with card games.

@@ChadKakashi Takahashi wanted a DBZ/YYH esque shonen, but the characters save the day with strategy and games instead of physically fighting. That is the spirit of Yugioh. Wll...the Pharaoh is the Spirit of YGO but...you get what Im saying

@Plaguis Soryr Maybe you can try Dark Magician Deck. It's not a meta deck but pretty interesting to play with and easy to play but can also have complicated combos if you want to.

That would be very interesting to see. But at the same time I think it would just confuse everyone.

*unzips degeneracy*

This would literally be a format of win the dice roll and FTK or lose

Didn't even notice hahaha

Vintage Format would be amazing.

imagine how a hero player would feel

My d/d/d build special summons the entire extra deck in like 2 turns. Check it out on my channel for some insight. I think it deserves a chance for at least tier 1.

Rokket players would be sad.

you think n word=comedy so I don't think anyone can convince you of anything

I liked GX more when it was slice of life, but otherwise I agree with you.

Vrains is very seinen-like in many aspects. All characters are flawed, starting with Yusaku, IAs and humans are put on equal like in any GOOD cyberpunk fiction, duels in the net makes death and severe mental shocks a thing ( take a look at Cyberpunk video game trailer ), the end of the anime is very seinen like. Clearly the best one in my humble opinion.

@@bren8511 oh I'm sorry do you come to the comment section for comedy?

@@bren8511 This isn't a comedy club dude.

And that's a fact

@Dovahgatr thanks but I've tried and the online games aren't enjoying at all. If you've playing both sides you know what I'm talking about.

*laughs in already running almost max deck*

“Hey guys, I’m going into a competitive event, but really don’t want to use a competitive strategy. That means modern competitive is bad right?” Literally any game that exists will have a defined good category. There are probably a few exceptions where the majority of options work, but the majority of games don’t let you pick up whatever thing you keep in a heart shaped box to a competitive scene and win, unless you happen to really like a competitive strategy. You aren’t going to go into a competitive LOL game with a character that doesn’t fit the team comp because you like it. You won’t go to a competitive Overwatch game and play a character that doesn’t fit the team comp because you like it. And while those examples are for more team based games, I’m iffy on throwing in smash because ultimate is pretty well balanced where a really good player can perform with a really bad character.

@Vinícius Deniz you will take the higher rarity of a gun your good with actually, unless your shit with a rifle and think because its the best weapon you will win, because someone with a common shotgun will reck you. So bad example, but good try

@@theonethathungers5552 but the thing with that is, that's true in every fighting game for example, theres top tiers and low tiers BUT if you are good with a low tier charecter you can still have success, with modern yugioh however if you dont use the meta decks your fucked, no creativity, no fun, hell one of the biggest points in the anime was everyone's deck was unique to the player, if the anime was like the game, it would be boring AF

If you play on online simulators like ygopro and Dueling Nexus then you basically get to play the game for free.
