I just got to start watching arc-v from the latest two episodes. I forgot that yugioh as a whole had more padding than Dragon Ball Z.

AnacondaHL posted:real question: As someone who only watched YGO and YGODM, is there any reason at all to watch GX and 5DS? everyone says that GX is stupid funny I mostly think it's just stupid stupid, tho the ones that are love letters to the original series were good to me. I have no desire to see 5D's.

I just started watching Arc-V because, why not? And would someone mind explaining pendulum summons in the actual game? I'm guessing it is throwing out two pendulum monsters, then you can summon anything from your hand with a level between the two pendulum monsters for free? Do the pendulums stay out, or is the effect only good for the turn? Are they really treated as spell cards? Can I dust tornado your poo poo before you get a chance to summon? (I'm also guessing action cards aren't actually a thing, right?) I will say that I prefer the show without all these ridiculous new mechanics, but then, I stopped playing the game a decade ago.

The game is tragically different than a decade ago.

AlternateNu posted:I will say that I prefer the show without all these ridiculous new mechanics, but then, I stopped playing the game a decade ago. also Yugioh is rad and new mechanics are rad. Pendulums rule, my favorite Pendulums are DDDs because they have cards named Hell Armageddon the Cruel End Overlord and Abyss Ragnarok the Complete Oblivion Overlord.

(I'm also guessing action cards aren't actually a thing, right?) Pendulum monsters are an entirely new type like geminis and tuners before them. Yes. Its for free once per turn. Yes they are treated as spell cards when in the pendulum zones. All pendulum monsters go to the extra deck on leaving the field. This does mean they go to the graveyard if they are sent to it from outside the field. Like if they get their summon or their placement in the zones negated.

I wish the subs still used "DDD Hell Armageddon CEO" instead of the full name. Action cards are just silly anime plot devices. They go in and out of being obnoxious, might just be me though.

They justify making a cram school that teaches you how to punch someone in the face during a duel, so they're fine on my book.

Wait. They made a series of monsters named after high ranking corporate position? Is there a Chief Financial Officer one?

Other things about Pendulum Summons (since I run a Pendulum Deck and all ) are: - You can't interrupt a Pendulum Summon while there is a Pendulum Summon going on. If I bring out Dragoons of Draconia and Lancephorhynchus and you have no response, you can't activate Dust Tornado as I use the 2 Scales (Dragoons and Lance) to bring out a second Lance, Tune Warrior, and Flash Knight. The Pendulum Summon can't be interrupted. - There's apparently a debate on whether cards that Banish (previously known as "Remove From Play") cards work on Pendulum Monsters since they don't go to the Graveyard anyway. Who knows right now. - If a Pendulum Monster is used as Xyz Material in an Xyz Summon, they do not go to the Extra Deck but to the Graveyard as they are not Monster Cards or Spell Cards. - If a Pendulum Monster goes from your Deck or Hand to the Graveyard, then it goes to the Graveyard. The only way a Pendulum Monster gets to go to the Extra Deck is if it's on the Field as a Monster or in the Pendulum Zones as a Spell. - If your Scales have only 1 Level between them, you cannot Pendulum Summon only Monsters of that Level. For example, if one Pendulum Monster is Scale 3 and your other is Scale 5, you cannot Pendulum Summon only Level 4 Monsters. This differs from the Anime, however.

ArmyOfMidgets posted:The game is tragically different than a decade ago. Proof of this  Sophia no Necloth / Nekroz of Sophia Light Spellcaster / Ritual / Effect LV11 3600/3400 You can Ritual Summon this card with any “Nekroz” Ritual Spell Card. Must be Ritual Summoned from your hand by using 3 monsters with different Types you control, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. (1) During either player’s Main Phase 1: You can discard both this card and 1 “Nekroz” Spell Card; during this Phase, your opponent cannot Special Summon from the Extra Deck. (2) When this card is Ritual Summoned: You can banish all other cards on the field and in both Graveyards. During the turn you activate this effect, you cannot Normal or Special Summon other monsters. What the gently caress Konami?

ThermoPhysical posted:Other things about Pendulum Summons (since I run a Pendulum Deck and all A few small corrections: While the Pendulum Summon itself cannot be stopped, the activation and summoning can be negated. So while Dust Tornado wouldn't stop it, a card like Solemn Judgement would. And your example would be valid, since the numbers are two numbers apart. A Pendulum Scale of 3 and 4 would not work though, since there are no monster levels between those two numbers.

ThermoPhysical posted:Not sure, it's in the rulebook though that's with the Starter for 2014. That rule just counts for numbers that are next to each other. It's just saying you can't Pendulum Summon with, say, a 3 and a 4 since you would only be able to summon monsters with a level of something like 3.5, which don't exist in the game.

I don't know what the gently caress I'm thinking. Apologies!Should not mix YGO with Windows 8.1 installing because I'm confused. Anyway, yes. I was wrong, you can Pendulum Summon a 4 if you are using a Scale 3 and 5 (as an example).

DDDs are my second favorite archetype that appeared in Arc-V, right behind Frightfurs, whose official announcement I await with bated breath. Dark_Tzitzimine posted:Proof of this This is almost insulting. Nekroz are already one of the most broken archetypes in the game, the last thing they need is another boss monster, one that can apparenty shut down summoning for a whole turn. These new cards were posted in the Anime Card Game thread, you might want to check them out. quote:

I was reading through the op and I got to this part in Aki'squote:and then nothing until the finale where she regains some relevance and her relationship with Yusei is made clear. And did a Yugioh series actually end up with a relationship

There's a lot of teasing that relationship throughout the whole series to the point where Leo and Luna are sarcastically commentating on how they're the third wheel on a date between the two of them and the last episode has Aki confessing her feelings and Yusei accepting them with a very obvious kiss cut. So yes, a Yugioh series had a canon girlfriend for the protagonist.

Man, I remember Ritual cards. Did they ever get a big season dedicated to them, or did the first (card game) season count as the 'ritual summon focused' season? because I remember that as mostly being fusions with like two ritual summons and a lot of 'advanced' summons.

Seriously people, watch a couple of YGOpro duels on Youtube and try your hand at it. The game has changed but it's still fun. e: And really, once you've wrapped your head around the new types of summon it's not that hard. paradoxGentleman fucked around with this message at 21:09 on Jan 23, 2015 |

Schubalts posted:Wait, so if your opponent has less than 3600 lifepoints, is this just an "I win now" card? Ayup. Mind you, this was the original version of the card  Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by banishing 1 face-up Ritual, Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz Monster from anywhere on the field, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. This card's Special Summon cannot be negated. When this card is Special Summoned: Banish all other cards from both players' hands, fields, and Graveyards. Cards and effects cannot be activated in response to this effect's activation.

The catch is surviving it, then the card is pretty much just a normal card. Well unless the person who summoned it used Djinn of Rituals...

Schubalts posted:Wait, so if your opponent has less than 3600 lifepoints, is this just an "I win now" card? Well, you could get rid of her with a Bottomless Trap Hole or a Torrential Tribute before her effect triggers, or something to negate her effect like Breakthrough Skill. If you don't have that though, you're going to have to take the hit.
