Happy to be able to shed some light on the subject - I AM in fact 190cm. The hand math into YGO stacking was correct. Unfortunately, Farfa is not 170cm. If you look at the photo, you can see I am in the foreground whereas Farfa was a little bit behind me. As someone who has met him IRL, I can confirm that Farfa is 6'7" and 240 pounds of pure muscle.

You don’t look 182 farfa, I’m sticking with the scientific research of 170cm

I just absolutely love that someone really researched Farfa's height by using Yugioh cards as a reference 😂😂

"when you have tiny girl hands, shuffling a 60 card deck feels emasculating" - Farfa, circa 2021

Someone's gotta take a tape measure to this man or the drama will never rest lmao

Genuinely my main take-away from YCS London wasn't about Kashtira counters or Vendor prices or anything like that, it was "Christ alive MBT is WAY taller than I expected"

If Farfa is actually 182, then MBT must be literally 200, which is possible, but not what I'd expect at all.

170 cm is not 5’5, it’s 5’7 aka 5 feet 7 inches. The 5,5774 just means that it’s 5 feet and a bit over half a foot in base 10, but a foot is 12 inches and an inch is 2,54 cm so do the math Oh wait it was already written right under that 170 cm is 5’7 but YGO players can’t read

It's ok Farfa, Yugi was a short guy, and he was king of games

They forgot to take in account that the picture looks like they were standing at a diagonal angle with Farfa furthest away from the camera, which is why the discrepancy exists

2:47 I agree with the meme that Combo negate boards are more annoying than Traps but the latter are more of a magenta or fuchsia purple is for Fusions

What should we believe, the scientific research saying farfa is 170, or Farfas word saying he’s 182. One has indenture to lie, the other doesn’t.

I'm convinced farfa is the size of a smurf and photo shops himself to look big

i think what they meant with "ban old decks" is something like limit all tear cards so people buy kashtira

This was so funny to watch live and now rewatching it. It’s still funny.

he's not short CHAT, he's just compact.

Watch as the height thing becomes a math question

As a kid, I saw older players using sleeves. I didn't know anything about sleeves, so I assumed they were laminated. Went home and tried it. I remember I did it to a few 1st ed pokemon foils and a BLS. I still cringe thinking about it.

1:58 Farfa misreads a decimal number as the inches part of his height, leading him to believe the reddit post is calling him 2 inches shorter than it is.

The greatest part of this was to find out that Farfa knows height references best in freedom units

When I started playing yugioh my dad had bought a big lot of random cards and it came with some laminated cards that looked like someone had tried to remove. It was so strange to see and I cannot figure out why someone would want to laminate cards then later try to remove it.

3:52 - Listen, I've faced War Rocks in WCS, so it's totally possible for them to shine now. Might be a Clueless momento.

Mbt is like 6'5 and farfa is like 6", Im 5"7 and when I met them both I had to look up, especially MBT the beast of a man

Farfa is absolutely on point with the hand size does not equate height statement. I am 6 ft 7 inches, or 200 cm tall. My hand cannot hold a basketball in one hand like the NBA players cause my hands be tiny.

Senior Nadir, the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you on Roulette!

Back in 2010 i laminated my entire Giga-Vise deck...I still have it 😅 My Tytannial, Princess of Camellias is forever preserved.

Ayo not Farfa sounding like Edward Elric 😂

When i was a kid in school one of the other students accidently ruined one of my cards. In order to fix it, they ran it through a laminator to make it like a card today. Came out better then i expected and not ruined, but a little soft. Might work better if done with a not-ruined card.

I had some laminated cards, if I remember there's a non heat lamination material that just sticks

That laminated guys a chad, doing an experiment cause your curious is some sick follow through 😂

I used to laminate those mats that came in the structure decks

One thing the calculation missed is that Farfa is actually leaning forward as well in the pic

Farfa's standing a little to the back, which makes the math more complicated. Idk enough to know whether that adds 10 centimeters but yolo

When I was a kid, I tried laminating my super rare Graverobber with my teacher's help. It did not end well, and had bubbles. I didn't find out about card sleeves until over a decade later.

Love the ace attorney music

Its okay Farfa I dont judge you on your shortness, just on your being a Celtic fan.

There's a kid at my locals who had laminated their deck so he could play ygo and practice combo in the pool 🤣🤣🤣

Pure Gold.

I’m bringing a tape measure to Nats.

I'm incredibly impressed that the farfa height math was even remotely correct.

farfa i better not be taller than you when i see you at nationals

Now we need Mr.Zeef or Joseph R to confirm the height claim

5:05 just do it xDD Lookin forward to the video

*me seen the title of this video* : NO.

Like, I totally agree... combo-ing is fun, and using hand trap is fun. they both having fun, it feel like puzzle. the problem with tear is they can not just negate you, but gain advantages from deck by milling, and you just have limited resources. that a bit unfair.

4:56 THIS MAN WAS A TEACHER

Such a smol short king

How to trigger Farfa say he's 5'5 because short kings like to be mad because it adds a few inches carrying all that aggression

Low key thought this was going to be a serious video.

The combo player explaining meme is just about the most accurate meme about the yugioh community right now tbh 😂😂😂

Going by hands is odd to me, cuz I'm 6'4 and I got some stubby ass fingers hahah

Nobody told Farfa about the Japanese KZfaqr that made it to Diamond 1 with War Rocks in Tearlament format????

We had a rule you can play proxies for prize cards as long as you showed the judge you did own them

The Yugioh card is the new unit of measurement. Mind blown! 😂

Seeing the "John Silver and Anna Jay" meme in this video makes me happy! Two of my favorite things, Yugioh, and Wrestling.

Farfa is 5’11 and MBT is 6’0. Skill issue.

P laminated my cards back in school

This whole time I thought farfa was tall 😂

MBT is 6’2”. Seems accurate to me.

2:56 Funny Purple card hype!!

Its the lighting, I am not small. A sentence one has never said before

I've got an argument for the statement proposed at 2:46: Is it really that the combo deck could play through literally a full opening hand worth of handtraps, or that the opened handtraps were used badly? _Though, what purply-red (I think it's closer to red than to purple; something like magenta, maybe with a hint of scarlet) card do they have in mind here? Continuous trap floodgates are fairer than lingering ones and can be said to be about as (un)fair as an unbreakable negate board: you just have to draw the out, be it a Kaiju/Lava Golem/Sphere Mode or backrow removal._ I've also got one for the statement proposed at 4:20: A popular complaint about basically all game mechanics introduced after Xyz monsters (Exceeds?) is that cards and decks do too much. This is the same issue people have with (extreme) combo decks that fill a quarter hour with plays of their own and end on a board with multiple omni-negates or similarly strong interruptions (including handtraps). Playing too much YGO on your turn lets games end on the first turn. Games that go more back and forth, where both players get a fair opportunity to play for a win, are what most players enjoy, so here we have a situation where less is more. And to slow down the game enough for that, what do you do? You play floodgates.

I used to laminate my yugioh cards because I was a dumb child that couldn’t afford card sleeves. My laminator was so shit that it didn’t get hot enough to melt the foils I put through it. I just have a couple hundred laminated cards in a box somewhere that I will probably never use again.

2:51 finally you acknowledged it

I'd say we make these heights canon solely for the effort this dude put into this "proof". The Duel Links one is (sadly) true. Although like half of the text are restrictions to make sure you play a skill together with the specific archetype and don't just splash it into anything. Can make for kinda interesting skills or ones that make usually mediocre archetypes strong. But this can also lead to skills that basically dictate how your deck should look like and how you play every duel. Probably worst offender being the Destiny Hero Clock Tower skill. Sure, it made pure Destiny Heroes top tier for a while and let you actually resolve the slow ass effects of the field spell. But this was such a boring deck...seriously did the same plays every single duel.

Farfa was a Teacher 🤯

In the picture Farfa is further from the camera, making him appear smaller in the picture.

MBT is taller than I thought he was. I thought the heights would be reversed lmao

Shoutout to all the short kings out there.

And Nobody of the Dramaqueens has a top

I mean given that they set their reference point from something as small as a pinky/card and blew it up your window of error is going to be pretty noticeable. I wholeheartedly believe he's 182 it's just the math has an error window of ±12cm

Farfa doesn't look 5'11.5"

I love how the searcher find that mbt is 190 and farfa is 170 but in the photo the deference between the two is like 5

Farfa lives in the UK Why does he understand feet height better than cm height

By funny purple card, do they mean kitkallos?

jeez... since when 170 is short....

Imagine taking a rare ass card to locals instead of just making a proxy.

I think it's because of the way the photo is shot, the line that Farfa and MBT makes isn't perpendicular to the camera: MBT is closer to the camera than Farfa is, so farfa will appear shorter in relation to MBT

It clearly said that 170 cm is 5’7

Laminate a common or rare deck!

170cm (insert Charlie Day explaining something mathematically meme)

Imagine measuring in centimeters

Small hand club. My girlfriend and I confirm that it doesn’t not mean anything 😂

Na if farfa is 182, then i am a true giant 222

Tbf Its not a good frame of reference for Farfa's height. Its pretty clear Farfa is slouching abit while Doug and Joseph are standing up as straight as fucking possible, even pointing out their chins lol. And farfa seems to be farther from the Camera while Joseph is abit closer. Making Joseph look quite abit larger from the angle while Farfa looks shorter.

Short king

Min 7:44 Wait that post about Dai is mine, lol

What's funny purple card? Is this still about Colossus? I'm out of the loop.

Im 175 cm and I feel ofended

I think I'm like 18 yugioh cards tall

Why does he need to translate it to feet, when hes european????

Chat using fucking phrenology to determine the size of the spinning fish in Streamer man's head

He worked as a teacher at one point? Those poor students.

Hate to do this to him, but I ran into him at YCS London 2018/19 (can't remember, it was the one he was streaming and not participating in) and can say that he was shorter than me, and Im like 178-179cm give or take, but who knows, maybe lil bro had a late growth spurt

I honestly expected MBT to be a short boi

Joseph looks massive

3:17 That girl maybe another fan of Jesse Anderson because reasons.......

wait you use freedom units?

Don’t worry, none of you will ever be shorter than Jerma.

I refuse to accept mbt isnt a drawf
