Feels Villeneuve posted:yeah like power in this game right now is far more about interruptions/quick effects than it is the one-card combo ending with some combo of Accesscode/BDF/BSD that i think really put a lot of people off the game and it's much better for it Yeah like, even in High Tear era it wasn't a wall of infinite negates it was a bunch of summons and destructions you could play with and around. It's fun! In fact the most dogshit decks in the current meta are the ones that end on Red Hot King Calamity like Mannadium or Centurion. Which could be solved by banning that single ED monster.

by far the biggest problem with tears* was that few decks had interruptions to the level of tears so it felt like your opponent was playing twice as much as you were, which isn't a good feeling what i'm saying is tears can come back now that we have decks like r-ace *apart from it being literally the strongest deck ever released

TEars biggest sin was it stood alone on the mountain. As others rise up we will see beauty in them again.

OCG solves Mannadium by a simple card that punishes combo decks........ but yeah King Calamity should be banned, its like from the era where poo poo like Azathot and Shock Master were considered acceptable to print

it is a very cool idea that always seems to end up with like, 3 people making fun underpowered decks, one person playing outright garbage and 2 more running "blue eyes/DM" that's actually just 35 staple cards and 4 actual alleged engine cards"

It's called "Kuchen format" Bad news: turns out its difficult to assess the power level of every card in the game against every other card when you have like 3 volunteers and no useful play data.

I mean, Smogon tiering is based almost exclusively on usage stats. The more a Pokemon is used, the higher tier it gets restricted to. There's more to it with suspect tests and emergency bans and such, but at it's core it's a simple system.

There's more to it with suspect tests and emergency bans and such, but at it's core it's a simple system. Yeah, if you have the numbers, then it's easy to draw lines. Building certain decks in those structures is when it gets kinda funky, with Genex being a good example: its tendency to produce cards that are really strong in other people's decks would mean that 'full power Genex' is off in, like, OU because of power cards like Birdman, while most of the deck is more off in RU or NU territory. I can also immediately imagine some decks like Dark Magician getting 'noob trapped' in some tiers. There's a great video about weird tiering mishaps across Smogon's history, where one example was Dusknoir being stuck in a tier that it can't do anything in, because of so many inexperienced players being SURE it must be good that it never actually dropped into a usage tier it'd actually do well in. Staples would also be a weird situation, where they might have to be just locked as usable by all/most/certain tiers. Like, by usage Ash Blossom is probably OU/Ubers, but that instead becomes a ubiquitous one because otherwise poo poo gets broken.

There's more to it with suspect tests and emergency bans and such, but at it's core it's a simple system. None of the online sims like dueling book track useage data (they're already in a legally dubious enough situation as is) so without manual assessment every smogon tier will invariably become "ban whatever's popular in Master Duel each month". Decks like tri-brigade or zoodiac that are slightly too weak to compete in MD would run rampant. It's like when MBT decided it would be a good idea to put salamangreat in rotation format and it was almost unbeatable, even with most of its power cards banned. Smogon works because they have data from the games and their own format is extremely popular, so there's no shortage of data. But in Yu-Gi-Oh, at some point you have to assess every deck individually or you end up with a series of terrible formats that bleed players while you desperately emergency ban cards to save it.

opportunity cost matters a whole lot more in 6v6 than it does in 40+ card decks; 20+% of teams in smogon don't run the best mons because they have some strat that doesn't want them, and it's not throwing to not play great tusk or kinggambit or w/e. On the other hand, in a 40 card deck 90+% of everyone is always going to run 3 max C because there are never 38+ better cards in a deck than 3 copies of max C

Got four URs from my TTT bundle, effectively 55 UR dust (one of the pulls was glossy, and I already had a playset of TTT). I continue to believe that these bundles of staple card + 10 packs are weighed towards producing more URs than the usual ten pulls, since these are aimed at new players.

i think playing purrely irl is the dumbest i have ever felt. not because i didn't do too well because i kept forgetting to activate certain effects, but saying poo poo like "lyly target pretty" or "lyly search friend" is like deranged poo poo. is this what it was like when prank-kids were a relevant deck

Nissin Cup Nudist posted:Is there a way to make the gate guardian retrains work with the Invoked engine? I feel like you can run it, it's just that gate guardian is a really card hungry engine; I really don't know if there's a way to run it that isn't insanely bricky with less than like, 25-30 "in engine" cards (and honestly it's still pretty bricky then) and invoked wants another 8 or 9, leaving a deck with like space, maybe a nib or imperm, let alone maxx cs or ashes. I have a feeling that it'd be like, insanely fun pop-off fun deck to play with friends, but bricky and probably just outright unplayable against meta
