Arc-V had a guy last episode who literally punched people in the face if they tried to make certain moves he didn't want them to, I think we've reached the apex of cheating.

The apex will be reached when one guy does his opening turn and then this happens.

YGOPro, Devpro or Dueling Network are free apps that are current on the card game (though YGOPro/Devpro are probably better for that). If you want to learn, I'd say pick up one of the DS games, which if I recall right come with tutorials. If you just want to throw random cards down and fight enemies just grab any of the GBA/DS/PSP games and throw cards down.

Man, part of me really wants to get back into the game (not having played since the GX era, and even there playing really badly). Is there a newbie-friendly way to do it? I'm basically at zero, and if I'm getting in I'd like to try to convince friends to do as well and they're just as bad as me if not worse (at least I know the summoning mechanics, the closest friend I got knows Synchro and that's it).

Considering everything I'd stick to a simulator (no way in hell I can afford all those shiny new cards), and I've been playing some Reverse of Arcadia (is that the last DS game? That was the one I was playing) for some practice, though my main problem is deck building which I don't really understand all too well.

The gba / nds game usually have a plot where you are a new character in the series' story and slightly changed the plot so you get to participate in all the important duel. Their tutorial are great and duel puzzle are challanging.

PSP version are usually plotless pick someone to duel with a little relationship sim. Better animation and graphic though.

The DS games are pretty much as friendly as it gets since they ease you into everything, otherwise your sure bet is Devpro.

Here I can only recommend that you start looking up what others players do which is best accomplished by the yugioh wikia, yugitubers or the pojo yugioh forum. The basics are the same as they've always been, you should aim for a 42-40 card deck, at least 50% of those should be monsters in most archetypes and always fill up your extra deck. If there's anything specific you'd like to know just ask.

Judai is an odd case in that he isn't directly cheating, the manga describes him as having extremely high draw luck, which is a bullshit talent but not technically unfair. Even when he does get supernatural powers they're used mostly out of battle, I can't think of any moment Judai uses his Supreme King powers or Jubel to cheat. On the other hand, there is no way in hell he's actually carrying all the Fusion Monsters he uses.

Comes up a couple of times in the anime too. There's one other minor character who somehow learned bullshit draw luck by going and becoming Tarzan.

To be fair, what he learned was specifically being able to tell exactly what card he was going to draw, if I remember it correctly. Or at least what type of card. Which is still impossible, but not as impossible as 'i learned to draw what card I want'.

That was like the only episode of GX I actually watched.

There was a literal scene of Jaden, under a waterfall, training himself to draw cards better by picking the right egg sandwich out of a pile.

Because the D/D monsters are going to be called something like DECLAN'S DUDES, I bet.

And then the DDD monsters, the ones based on famous kings and conquerors, will end up as DECLAN'S DYNASTIC DUDES or something like that.

Barret is pure Call of Duty tho, I bet that borg eye under his eyepatch (he totally has borg tech on him, look at the professor and look at the cards he played) implanted those memories so he doesn't feel too bad about being a genocidal warmonger

So Fusion Yuzu is apparently called Serena. I got the impression that she's not here on official Academia business, like Sora was, because the guards tried to stop her... which begs the question of just what the hell she's doing, turning Hokuto Dipper into a card like that. It could be mindless revenge against XYZ users for humiliating Sora, but she didn't seem all that fond of him, considering that she was grinning as he screamed in the infirmary. I guess we'll find out later.

In the meantime, we finally got a Reiji duel! And he actually won this one! Isn't that...

Xoidanor posted:

...great?
Man, Reiji needs to actually score some victories. He has the reputation of this unbeatable Dueling master but we've only see him play twice in 40 episodes. Plotting and scheming is nice and all, but you can't be the Kaiba of the series by watching from the sidelines forever.

He certainly has the tools he needs: the new D/D/Ds are pretty drat nice. Well, Tell not so much: he's alright, but the fact that he can only trigger his effect after damage from a Covenant is too much of a limitation. Without that he'd be pretty respectable, otherwise it would be better to use Zenmaioh or Adreus over him. D'arc is better; so much better, in fact, that I can't help but wonder if her effect can only be triggered something once per turn, and can consequently only protect you from a single Covenant or burn card; it would be a bit too much to have all effect damage turned into healing on a costant basis. Even considering this, I imagine her Fusion materials will be something more than two random DDs, because she's pretty drat powerful.
