The Complete History of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Meta: Part 1 (2002-2005)

Күн бұрын

In this video I will be covering the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG's first era of competitive play, which lasted from March of 2002 to March of 2005, which many people refer to as the "Duel Monsters" or "DM" era. Depending on who you ask, you may hear that this era didn't actually end until June of 2005, and while I think this is a valid perspective, I think the line is simply a hard one to draw, and I felt most comfortable marking March the cutoff point. The video attempts to chronologically catalog as much of what was competitively relevant as possible, within reason, throughout this time period.

At least in today’s meta, everything runs in combo decks, infinite negates, multi-destruction, floodgates, everything. Whereas in IOC, everything revolves around chaos, it feels homogenous that it even has a variety that outclasses older and niche decks.

@@XCodes I'd frankly not really count them as wasting considerable time, there transitions that are mainly just 3-7 Seconds of zooming in with music -> Quote form guest or quick cropped bit of a scene from the anime -> 3-7 Seconds of zooming in with music again, sure some can take a total of 20-25 seconds and slow the overall video down a bit, but in my opinion I prefer them to just a stock transition as they keep the overall pacing feeling faster and smoother than a simple silent fade in would, again in my opinion.

I remember back in school one girl in my class had the Graceful Charity card and she wanted to give it away cause she didn’t really care about Yugioh. Me and my classmate were both competing on who she should give it to so she decided to rip the card in half and give both of us one half. I saw the thumbnail and this memory of I don’t know 15 years ago popped back into my mind immediately. Good times

@iamwhoiam7887 Жыл бұрын

Funny how we all have fond memories like this. I remember the teacher confiscating my cards and redistributing them to kids who didn't get into trouble. I had to watch other students duel until I found one girl who clearly had my cards. I know because I placed a small black dot on them. Stealing them back was a trip but I succeeded. And got some other good cards as well lmao.

I've watched this video like 5 times already even tho its just part 1. I can't stress enough how incredible this video and by extension this project is. As someone who has started playing YuGiOh! in 2017 it's amazing to look back at how the game has evolved and changed over time. I've heard of all the strategies and metas from this time but actually seeing them in the grand scheme of the game is fascinating. Also supreb editing, the synced up text with the music is incredibly well made and it must have taken hundreds of hours to create. I cannot wait for part 2 and the GX era!

Hey, I just wanted to leave a message saying I absolutely loved this video and it has been my single favorite video covering this topic. Me and my friends have recently been going through a "progression series" travelling through the earliest stages of Yu Gi Oh through what is essentially a draft format starting at the beginning. Going through this made me deeply interested in how the whole thing began and progressed and this video was absolutely perfect for it, I really appreciate your work here. Even if this is the only video its great, but I would absolutely love to see another video in this style,

This video flooded back so many memories. I wasn’t much of a player since I lived in such a remote area at that time. However, I did make a small local tournament for kids at the time, and it went well. I was more of a card collector at the time, and I collected all the first edition sets that came out, including the starter decks and tins. I still have them sealed to this day. I would love to see the next installment, though it has been one year since this has been put out. Great video in remembering all of what happened then and bringing back a ton of memories.

Detach from this world and the distractions/pleasures in it.This world and the things in it are temporary, spend your time doing something that will matter in the long run. Do as much as you can to help other people while you are here so that you are ready to face Jesus on judgement day. The last 3000+ years of human history have been a testimony in favor of God's word. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the son of God and can tell the future or make it happen B) The world leaders/governments/nations etc have been conspiring together to accomplish this roadmap set in place by the Israelites or C) History as we know it is fake despite the archaeological evidence. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20. The world is rapidly passing away and eventually you will have to stand before God on judgement day and explain to Him what you have done with your life. Make sure you are making every effort to help others while you can

@Carpatouille Жыл бұрын

It was also a better, simpler time, with playstyles, decks, cards and metagames easy enough to understand to get into the game. Nowadays the game is way too complex for its own good and to be fun for a casual player if we're talking modern yugioh, with half your deck drawed and used in the first turn with insane monsters or complex strategies and sets of events happening for a beginner to be fun to follow. And we're not even talking about the number of cards to remember, not to mention cards with a fucking book written as their descriptions.

@tylerchambers6246 Жыл бұрын

@@Carpatouille Some of us love that complexity. Instead of throwing your hands up and rationalizing your instinctual feeling of inferiority by saying the game is just too complex, just admit you're lost and start learning from a truly open mind, it's never as difficult as you think. And if a casual wants to play casual, then get a Kaiba and Yugi starter deck together and play that way, nobody's stopping you. But it is a lot less fulfilling playing the game that way, it offers little space to grow mentally, and it is a lot less interesting for others to watch. A plane's flight controls are more complex than your car because a plane can DO more than your car and it's navigating three dimensionally instead of on a flat plane; similarly, the complexity of Yugioh isn't there just for the sake of being complex, it represents the great free space to explore mentally that Yugioh possesses, it represents all the possible choices available to the player to express himself within the rules of the game. I assure you that games like Chess and Go possess mindbending complexity at the highest levels too, as does Magic, as does any highly developed, heavily theorized game. Where Magic is a game characterized by longer-term strategy around the accumulation and utilization of resources (mana), Yugioh is characterized by extremely fast-paced gameplay and executing shorter-term strategy ie. effects chains. They are comparably complex.

The amount of effort put into the video itself is staggering and I really like the input from other youtubers as well. Personally for me I quit Yu-Gi-Oh after the GX era so anything to do with synchro and fusions and 5DS is completely unknown to me which is why I don't want to play the game anymore but if these videos can fully explain the meta shifts then I'll happily see myself playing it again.
