What decks should I test out next?

This is actually the best competitive content because it’s real yugioh and discussion between two amazing players

I’m just once again baffled by how well produced this is. It’s got the production value of something like a team sam vid, but the high-level insight that pretty only Josh has been offering on a regular/consistent/weekly basis (and even then, they’re just stream clips). Keep it up - it’s clear a tonne of effort has been going into these and it’s paying off. The way the KZfaq gods work, it might take a while for the channel numbers to properly represent the content (jumping from inconsistently-scheduled short-form content to more regular long-form vids will sometimes make the algorithm put you on hold, until its confident the change isn’t an anomaly) but the community really needs this sort of stuff 🙏

The great thing about the Zealantis repositioning that helps line up your board with SP and plays around super poly is that it also incidentally plays around Shaddoll Fusion and Dogmatika cards as you no longer control cards summoned from the Extra Deck. Great video, Jesse. One thing I would suggest for these types of videos is to display the lists that each player is bringing before the duel, it lets the viewer put more thought into what plays are potentially available to cross reference what you guys are actually doing. It helps with self assessment and reflection, as well as being more immersive

Wow, this is next level Yugioh content. The highest level players walking us through their logic with the most competitive current decks. Literally can’t ask for more.

The video shows that even one of the best players has to put in a lot of work to learn a new format. I think it's great to make the other players aware of this. Many people believe that professional players can do everything without having to do any work

This is honestly amazing content. Being able to watch pro players play is always good for showing new lines and plays you hadnt seen, but being able to hear your guys thought process while making your plays is so much more insightful and helpful. And thats not even counting the production quality. Really really great content, and i hope you do more.

Jesse bro, my man's out here KILLIN it with the content! Side note, the intro marshmellon hoodie is amazing! Keep up the great stuff

2024 is turning out great for competitive content, 10/10 video. - The overlay was amazing, I really liked using the old OCG card layout. A minor complaint though that the field was small when watching on a phone, so maybe you could adjust the ratios a bit to make the field a bit bigger (I didn't mind it, but a friend with eyesight issues told me that and I believe you can improve on this) - My 2nd favorite part was cutting during the duel and explaining to us your thought process. This makes it so much better than just watching a regular duel and can help competitive players, and even semi-competitive (regional/national level) to make the jump to fully competitive. Your preemptive Crossout on the UDS started some informative discussions, having 2 players of your caliber analyzing probabilities and trying to abuse every bit of information to gain potential advantage on the fly really shows the difference between a competitive player to a pro player. - I 100% agree with the comment saying you should show us your decklists beforehand, and I would take this a step further to give us side patterns as well. It's very common to show a main and a side without discussing matchups and particularly HOW TO SIDE, and a lot of people don't perform that well because they can't side as effectively even with a proper decklist. - The Zealantis play (improving Ryan's gamestate) is very representative of how this series (it needs to be a series!!) should be. Winning because the board wasn't fully optimized would have left a sour taste. No takebacks on events, but playtesting should be exactly as you said, making both players better in the end. THAT GIANT COLOSSUS WAS AMAZING I'M SO JEALOUS!!!! The entire setup is very pleasing, i wish you get a giant Snow as well (I still have my Brilliant Snow Thunder Dragons ready to play)

This is so well done, really high production values as well for your first video of this nature. I love how you cut to the reasons why you made your plays. This has set a new standard for competitive videos :)

This is so great, I’m so glad content like this is being released for Yugioh. Now I just need to find folks near me who want to get to this level so we can test like this together!

Damn thumbnail off the charts!! 😂 didn’t know being the UUDS champion made you also want to become the best yugituber out there!

Quality through the roof . Nice one

This is the BEST kind of content I want as a player!!! Not only is it good high level play, but taking the time for the talking heads to explain in depth the thought process and potential other options in the moment is INCREDIBLE

Dude, the quality on your videos has absolutely sky rocketed through the roof, they are so polished and clean! Keep up the good work my man!

There's some issues with the microphone, I'd lower the volume of the music and sound effects next time.

The production quality and overall quality of this is insane. Definitely make more of these! This type of content is amazing to help us improve

One of the best competitive content ive seen

Personally I also do "custom hands" where I always open a specific card to test it versus a specific match up with my testing partners. Otherwise you're just sitting there playing 10 games hoping to draw the card to see its performance and it becomes very time inefficient. This isn't so good when testing out an entire deckbuild/strategy, but it does help when testing out specific "tech" cards that might be good. Great video.

I've just been watching the video for 5 minutes and the quality of the content is incredible, congratulations Jesse!

quality is amazing, fantastic video!! really loving the new direction of content. my only gripe here is the audio, which could be a bit cleaner. not easy to do at all tho, audio is always a challenge. nonetheless, the content has been fantastic!!

We need more videos like this👍🏾. I thought that you never posted and everyone else post videos of you. 😂

Really love this video. Super insightful into a format that requires a lot of foresight and understanding of how interactions, particularly layered, work.

Loved this idea and format maybe lower music for next time it was overpowering over your voices, and it was hard to hear you both 😊I’m interested in the conversation more then the music and was distracted by it. Thanks. Also there was something running in the background maybe a fan or something and there was a lot of ticking sounds going on. I’m sure you’ll get the audio figured out in the future and your voices cleaned up and louder. Keep rocking it

Damn Jesse really grinding youtube this year, nice to hear

this is super great content mate, as a returning/new player who wants to play at a competitive level this is essentially duel academy in video format.

I love how much you can learn as a player when you talk strategy with your opponent while playing. I gained a lot of knowledge doing this with my old college roommate.

This was insanely good , more like this ! Feedback for the next one lighting could be better and play area could be bigger on screen and player cams smaller !

i love how this is basically duel nights but with current format. Quality keeps going up, love to see it. Would be great if the lighting improves for the top down angle

Must be great having equals to practice with and discuss tactics in the midst of playing some sample expected scenarios before going into a big event.

shoutout ryan yu x brian chen best striker pilots

I love this a lot, especially with the player’s POV! Very well made, and I loved seeing the editing skills! Can’t wait to see more of these in the future

Great video Jesse! Only feedback for me is the audio - the background music is so loud at times it’s hard to hear what you’re saying. Otherwise it’s amazing.

Great video Jesse. A minor critique I think the audio mixing could use a little work it's a bit loud and cutting from the duel music to different music during the player segments is a bit jaring. I also feel the duel field could maybe be a little bigger. Other than that great video and hope to see more videos like this in the future.

This is awesome! I wish we could see the original match! Maybe post the video and have commentary over the video since the mic died?

He couldnt use amblowale in game 3 at 41:50 cause populus was destroyed and not a link 3 or lower as amblowale says, but great content and I hope to see more!

Amazing gameplay from 2 goat level players. I learned a tons from this vid on how to sequence and handtrap. Please keep these up and coming !

Microphone audio sounds good during the duel, but there seems to be some peaking issues and weird audio balancing in the intro. Cool video and I like the editing!

Jesse looks like real life strong from ocg structures in the thumbnail.

Awesome video idea and great execution! Would love to see more of those!

You guys should do the cyber dragon mirror match. Easily the most interactive match and the lines are INSANE!!!

Best ygo content I have seen in a very long time and I play this game for 14 years. In an era where we have a plethora of options for quality ygo, this video is by far the best. Also, investing in your channel and your setup and upping your game is admirable. Keep it up!

This content is a blast! Even if I won't be playing the deck irl i really enjoy it from a game design prospective. No floodgates, meaningful interaction by both players during the course of the duel. And I know you do love Tear, but i feel like there are less non games determined by stuff like: "here they are my Kit Sulliek Dweller Planet and shufflers. Have fun". But that's just my personal opinion. As a spectator I'm more interested learning more about decks and formats of this league. So keep it up!

The quality really improved good job guys :)

This is fantastic Jessie, thank you for these recent contributions, it's the kind of content we need for sure. Also, is this hollow knight path of pain music?

amazing video thats how a comp content should looks like i love it

really good stuff but the audio is kinda messed up? like it sounds like there's a fan or something by the mic

lmao i love your thumbnail, also good video very informative

actually great content quality, been really enjoying it and learning a lot

your set up is clean

I'm really enjoying the new style content Jesse, its interesting to see how top players test and what I can take into testing with my playtest group. I'd love to see you're approach to pure Snake and Voiceless Voice

Things I learned from this video; the thought process of high level players is all about making the play that plays around as many of the staples of the format as possible. Those puzzles from Duel Links are hella important cuz you gotta know how to navigate tricky game states.

This is amazing!!! More videos like these please!!!!

Your videos recently have been very nice Jesse

Jesse boy is my fav! Congrats GOAT 🐐

Really good content but short question is it not correct to make in game 1 linkuribo for battle protection ?

Could you also do Edison content? Your quality of videos is insane! Currently no Edison focused channels are even anywhere close to your quality

What decklist did you use for the duel? Just curious since i saw 2 island.

That was an amazingly informative video thank you so much !!!!

Im sleepy so I’ll finish the video tomorrow but I’m really liking this video format.

I love this format of this video but could you make the board a little bigger? It was a hard for me to see some cards on my phone

Great Video im hope you Take Yubel Unchained in the Future withe new Support very strong. Need the Fildspell and the new Fusion.

8:03 you have Apollousa for 2 remaining, flamberge and arvata on board, ip in backrow, and kirin in hand If they go talents take what's the worst case scenario? If they take flamberge you could kirin pop princess, bring out garunix pop kirin revive ponix and destroy flamberge and still have Arvata apollousa princess as interruptions and forgo the ip in the backrow Haven't played it out in my head for every possible scenario but not sure if you really needed to shotgun the kirin flamberge garunix etc

Please more content like this! It's fantastic

Great vidJesse, the quality, the insights awesome. Keep it up.

Love you man ❤

What are the decklists that you two went with? I am very VERY curious because I wanna see how the ratios work for the main and side

Love this pls more of this content

love the video! my only complain is that the camera quality isnt that great. maybe because of the lighting or the camera itself? idk

The layout is great, but could the numbers for LP be more clear/larger, would make it easier to read

Why didnt you summon diabellstar and go battle phase to force smt then u couldve used ttt wouldnt that have been better ?

this is the content i need .

What did you cut for the second island ?

Amazing content!! Nice hoodie 😍

true duelists 🏆

This bgm is crazy good

These edits 😱

John Wilkin in the back

Jesse You are the Best..i'm your fan can you make speed duel content?

I hope of mor Video s with ryan yu in Future

Hi Jessie Kotton I wanted to know what’s your opinion on fire king snake eye super heavy

This is a wholesome video. I fuck with this.

This was very helpful. Thank!

20:21 you can’t do the Selene because you don’t have spellcaster on the field, you had just a token, Ponix and flamberge

Amazing content!

Wow this content is GOLDD

really good content!

21:06 illegally changing order of graveyard..... 21:00 to 21:06 chaning order of graveyard. (matters cause of cards like question).

This was insane

Competitive and entertaining 👌🏻

This is such good content

Fantastic content!

The fan noise is fucking killing me

Way to go Jesse to do some grooming. You look so much better man. Take the time to do your hair and dress properly, good job!
