ConanThe3rd posted:So is there's any of the pre-tournament episodes I can skip in Arc-V? (Following the first Reiji duel) All those duels have stuff happen in them that gets brought up later, except for Quiz duel so you can skip it. Quiz duel is also easily the worst duel of the show, but the cooking duel isn't much better. The last two duels of the qualifiers are more than worth watching though, they are good.

I'm too busy on the Mon-Wed to run the tournament, we're pretty late today to be doing it, so if we do it tomorrow at 7 PM will the teams be there?

I feel like people tend to overstate just how bad the second half of 5D's is. While it's not as good as the first half (save the awful Professor Frank duel) and it has quite a few major problems (including dull new characters, the metaplot grinding to a screeching halt, some truly moronic subplots, and some of the absolute worst duels of the franchise), there's still enough good moments (Crash City, the Team Ragnarok duel, the final duels) that makes it worth recommending (with caveats) if you really want more YuGiOh. Just skip the Team Unicorn duel, for the love of everything skip the Team Unicorn duel. The thing about Arc-V's allusions (at least so far) is that unlike Zexal's, they didn't just throw them in and make them a major part of the plot without worrying about whether or not it made sense (and it rarely, if ever, made sense in Zexal). Take the Sora vs. Shun duel, for example. It's an allusion to the Lua vs. Bommer duel of 5D's, but you don't have to have seen 5D's to understand and enjoy it, nor does it feel like there are huge pieces of context missing if you didn't. Of course, there's still plenty of time left for them to mess this up.

Just skip the Team Unicorn duel, for the love of everything skip the Team Unicorn duel. It has its moments sure (Jack trying to get a job, Yusei vs Antimony, Team Taiyou being kinda likable underdogs) and managed to pull together a decent finale but there's just truckloads of poo poo included in it and half of the stuff they introduced ended up going no where and/or handled pretty badly. Plus pretty much destroying any of the worldbuilding they had going on in the first season and sorta in the second season. It's just way easier to recommend the first 64 episodes since they're much more solid and better and it is self contained arc that has a conclusion.

There's like, 40 or more episodes of completely worthless filler in part 2 of 5D's. Besides the sharp drop in writing quality, that's the main reason most people say to skip it. There's constant massive stretches where nothing is loving happening.

I know everyone always recommends the episode where Jack tries to get a job, but I'd also like to recommend epidode 76, in which Jack tries to be Batman. It might be my favourite episode in the series. Jack in general is a really fun character. He can't show up in Arc-V soon enough!

I know Slur isn't going to like this but there's really no option BUT for it to be King Jack of the alternate timeline. Because if it was Jack Atlas A. He'd be older, B. He'd have Scar-Red Nova and C. He'd be end-game levels of OP.

We'll see I guess

Well Senerio is going to be happy http://ygorganization.com/uashield/ Moon Mirror Shield Equip Spell Card If the equipped monster battles an opponent’s monster during damage calculatio: The equipped monster’s ATK and DEF become equal to the ATK or DEF (whichever is higher) of the opponent’s battling monster+100, during damage calculation only.

Dreadnought Dunker Level 7 EARTH/Warrior 2500/1800 You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) by returning 1 “U.A.” monster you control to the hand, except “U.A. Dreadnought Dunker”. You can only Special Summon “U.A. Dreadnought Dunker” once per turn this way. If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent. When this card inflicts battle damage to your opponent: You can target 1 card on the field; destroy it. U.A. Rival Rebounder Level 6 EARTH/Warrior 2200/2300 You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) by returning 1 “U.A.” monster you control to the hand, except “U.A. Rival Rebounder”. You can only Special Summon “U.A. Rival Rebounder” once per turn this way. If this card is Special Summoned during the opponent’s turn or Normal Summoned: You can Special Summon 1 “U.A.” Monster from your hand or Graveyard, except “U.A. Rival Rebounder”. You can only use this effect of “U.A. Rival Rebounder” once per turn. U.A. Signing Deal Normal Spell Card Special Summon 1 “U.A.” monster from your Deck, but its effects are negated, also it cannot be used as Synchro or Xyz Material for a Summon. Then you lose LP equal to the Level of the monster you Special Summoned by this effect x 300. You can only activate 1 “U.A. Signing Deal” per turn. U.A. Penalty Box Continuous Trap Card At the start of the Damage Step., if your “U.A.” monster battles an opponent’s monster: You can banish that opponent’s monster until your opponent’s 2nd End Phase. You can only use this effect of “U.A. Penalty Box” once per turn. You can banish this card from your Graveyard; add 1 “U.A.” Spell Card from your Deck to your hand.

Jesus these U.A cards. Rival rebounder on his lonesome just makes the deck a lot more viable.

Just skip the Team Unicorn duel, for the love of everything skip the Team Unicorn duel. The team ragnarok duel is the opposite of a highlight, its a boring duel with even cheaper versions of Team 5D's put together to hype up new god cards and then they realized they were too lame to actually be god cards so it was juet a bunch of nothingness. Sora vs Shun isnt really a reference outside of tiny dude vs tall guy. By that logic all of Syrus' duels sre set up to reference that future duel

Kinda yeah. United and Mage power I can see as being as good but for anything reaching 2500+ you need honest or an already set up field for United and mage power to actually do something. Moon mirror doesn't have to rely on any other factors, it's just equip and attack, then if they destroy it you have the choice to get it back or set it back into the deck to search/draw later. limiter removal also destroys all your machines so that's a temporary measure at best.

You save Limiter Removal for when you can swing in with an OTK. That's not just ships, that's any deck that uses it.

It might be my favourite episode in the series. I agree. Episode 76 just might be my favorite episode of the entire franchise because of how ridiculous it is. Between the literal pile of unconscious dudesthe fact he saves a guy's life only to punch him, and maniacal Jack laughter before he goes pro wrestling on everyone it just gets the right kind of ridiculous. Jack was the best thing about 5DS by far. Hopeford fucked around with this message at 22:30 on May 1, 2015 |
