I play with just the board check removal, and max duel level in Reshef. Makes it much more fun.

All Reshef does is waste your time, the difficulty isn't as high as people always claim it is because they confuse frustrating game design with difficulty. The fact the devs nerfed duelist/deck points and domino gain as their response to fans complaining Sacred Cards was too easy just shows the lack of respect for your time. There are some duels that are hard but the whole game is just pretending it's way harder than it really is because the grind was artificially increased by many times over.

YFM is not difficult purely to rng only. mastering the mechanics of fusion and guardian stars, which takes a long time to master is very essential. Which means getting good . Not getting lucky . You don't have to have good cards to finish the game . In reshef, there are a lot of inherited rules of the actual game ... so it's quick to calculate the difficulty in the first 5 minutes of the game.. and can easily get around it with type advantages, which takes seconds to understand

Eh, the primary key to YFM is knowing how to make Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon, which is one of the easiest fusions in the game. Knowing others are useful sure, but the most important one is also the easiest to memorize. From there, it primarily becomes about getting more materials to make Twin-Headed, as well as equip cards to power it up over the huge beatsticks. Jon_Oh's solo-type runs does show it's possible to beat with other strategies, but it still heavily relies on luck in getting either the right type cards for the deck, or the right equips and traps to beef it up, which again rely on RNG. It's why he still uses, at least I'm pretty sure he does, the 15 card mod despite not doing the 'meta speedrun strats,' how the game goes depends heavily on RNG and the grind with it. Also once you get to the point you can slap down 3000-4000+ attack beaters, only the very end of the game can stand up to you, and even then they need to play their equally high-attack cards which isn't a guarantee. Plus opponents using traps for removal is pretty infrequent and pretty easy to circumvent with bait attacks from less valuable cards The entire point of the grind for good cards because it's nigh-impossible to get over big beatsticks in YFM, your only option is to out-match it or have spell/trap removal, which also requires grind to get outside of the 1 you get in your starting deck, which won't be enough for end game. The Final 6 is so infamous even for people who know what their doing and have grinded for better decks because it's still so heavily luck-based on what cards the opponent plays, doubly so since the last few outright cheat. One duel of bad luck sends you right back to the start. In Reshef, due to the fact that you can't set down 3k beaters in one turn, it takes more set-up to get such power on the board with tributes and such. Plus there's far more and more accessible removal, both from spells/traps and monster effects. And as you said, with how the type advantage system works, not only could you beat over any enemy with a 0-attack monster of the right type, but so can your opponent, so your own big bodies aren't always guaranteed victory. Sure, you can destroy a monster of one type for free, but a opponent can just slap down another that won't be destroyed by that type, and it's a combination of deck-building and luck whether or not you got the OTHER type needed to beat that one, and so on and so on. The problem comes in is with the grind necessary to be able to USE most good cards. Enemies will gradually get better, meanwhile you lag behind because of the poorly paced Deck Point gain. If you want to be able to use anything good, it's not a matter of grinding against RNG, it's a matter of grinding to get enough points to use it at all. It's dynamic grinding vs static grinding. Both games have room for actual strategy and mechanical knowledge, but most of the time your options of strategy come down to what you've grinded for to be able to use for it.

FM Duels are not RNG .the AI are cheaters. opponents always open with their strongest cards. FM is literally like a hard version of pokemon .but with fusions . Rng is a factor in tcg games, but Unlike reshef where you're just forced regularly to swap cards for type advantage ,once you figure it out day 1 . It's over (A literal rock paper scissor btw.) in FM, even the best speedruners can lose because the game literally forbids you from having powerful cards . And grinding is not forced , there's always alternative ways .. the game encourages you to figure out fusions more than grinding .but sure, taking the grinding route is a guaranteed route, as in any other game.

Try more like 2 weeks to 4 years

The "just" 3 days it takes to 100% FM is all of game time in very optimized routes that just pray you get the 1% drop after the 1% drop to decrease the grind from weeks to 3 days. When you don't get the luck the run can go on forever so runners just give up and start over. It's a completely different comparison to Reshef, where you're not speedrunning the game. That way you will grind here and there for weeks maybe months just to increase your duelist level, deck capacity and be able to afford some cards because all those things were nerfed out of spite. It's such a ludicrous comparison.

@@homiga1 I legit had to spend 4 months playing every day doing nothing but play Reshef for 7-12 hours a day and still didn't have enough to make a decent deck from how slow the Duelist Level gains are. especially when you only get a 0.25% chance to win at all

@Zelgius1 was it the Winged Dragon of Ra (Phoenix Mode)

@@haloslayer255 Yes. The final boss was the only opponent, where this card was required.

Always sooo upsetting... Like why guys? To this day it annoys me lol its not even a power thing or game breaker problem, Just greed!

@@Scotty_Bo0m because it was easier to get the stuff translated, the cards are in memory with a 0/2045 drop rate. There are hacks out there that alter the drop rate table.

Bolt Escargot has not been officially released in the TCG so that could probably be why.

cant you win those?

That was Dark Duel Stories. Pretty good game, but very grind-heavy.

Dark duel stories. I played it too.

Destiny board traveler?

according to the rules of the category: "Real time is irrelevant. Since the run is segmented, pausing the timer is allowed. If so, timers are to be paused once "Save Complete" shows on the screen and resume once "Load Complete" is cleared from the screen. You may load the file in-between segments to gather information, but must exit the file without saving."

To add to the other comment, other multi-day speedruns will have different rules. Some allow you to take a certain number of breaks of certain lengths without that time counting. In others, they do do the entire thing in a single segment and the game just sits there not being played for several hours. I think that mostly happens in runs where you need to get an achievement for playing for a long amount of time though.

Thanks for the knowledge, bois :3

this

I remember the deck capacity constraints being worse than the duelist level ones.

Also, I understand that you didn't only discuss the rng part of the difficulty but you did make it a large part of the video.

S tech has the same drop rates as a tech though, and running the opponent out of cards is way more time consuming than a tecs so it isn't worth doing.

The way you said it you just don't need to say respectively

But did it take 500 or more duels to get a single good card? And tens of thousands of in game currentcy

@@Floriaka best thing to do is spend like the $2 or $4 for the DLCs so you can make a good deck from the start lol if I remember correctly the game was like $10 so spending a few extra bucks to get a decent deck isn't that bad. Just sad that you have to do that or grind super hard lol

Did you watch the video? Or even look at the thumbnail or the title? Because I fail to see how you could be 'baited' when both are about forbidden memories, and he basically says, "I'm going to replay forbidden memories before playing Reshef of Destruction" in like... the first minute.

@@Yamgetathumbnail and title didn’t help tbf nothing showed FM, I thought it was RoD by the intro lol
