Chazz is the best character in GX and his being sidelined is the primary reason the second half of Season 3 of GX was poo poo

Nah he got sidelined as a schmuck in Season 2 and only won because he was mind-controlled by Dio. He got treated like poo poo far before the whole pro duelist and zombie students bullshit happened and it's one of the worst things about GX.

The episode where he duels Aster is my favorite episode in all of GX, and I'm not even sorry. And at least he was still there in Season 2 and 4, he "bites the dust" halfway into Season 3 and then it's the Adrian and Zane Grimdark Party

Carly had an entire character arc about dying and not being able to be with Jack because of it and then they reconciled and Jack actually showed he cared about someone who wasn't himself and it was awesome and then she disappeared forever in Season 3.

Like she showed up a few times in the Jack-centric episodes in Season 3 and I thought it was cute because I thought "aww, they stayed together, that's cute" and then she disappeared from Season 4 and 5 basically entirely until Jack drove off in the ending literally saying "WOMEN WILL ONLY GET IN THE WAY" and I was like :geno:

My favorite part of Zexal so far was the bit where III blasted Yuma's lovely catchphrase out of his brain, and Yuma turned into a nervous gibbering wreck, because I am a horrible monster who wishes for the suffering of an 11-year-old. I hate Yuma Tsukumo.

Season 4 of GX wasn't really that dark, I mean yeah THE FATE OF HUMANITY WAS AT STAKE because of DARKUNESS... but it also had incredible, hilarious moments like Chazz and Aster's duel, that time Jaden got stoned, the fact that the villain calls himself Mr. T, and Atticus v. Fujiwara, the most homoerotic duel in the entire franchise, including every episode of 5D's. Oh and it turned Yubel from Jaden's weird creepy stalker Elder God ex-girlfriend into Jaden's douchey wisecracking Elder God buddy cop, which was a change entirely for the better (gently caress Yubel in Season 3 (gently caress Season 3 of GX))

Oh wait I guess there was that episode with Axel? Man that poo poo was fuckin' dumb

"Axel do you remember the time you LET YOUR MOTHER DIE?" "yeah and I FUCKIN HATE IT" "that's right let the hate flow through you let me make this entire duel a metaphor for your dead mom is it working" "NO" "is it working Axel" "yes" "good now let me win and you can fall into the DARKUNESS... (because of your dead mom)"

Ever since Jaden tossed a perfectly good Transcendent Wings game-winning play so that GX could advertise Sabbatiel, a card that did absolutely nothing even close to its actual card counterpart, which is garbage, I sort of learned to just kinda accept that Jaden was gonna do dumb bullshit to win season-ending duels.

Edit: I use Super Polymerization to fuse myself and Yubel

real question: As someone who only watched YGO and YGODM, is there any reason at all to watch GX and 5DS?

Yes.

Basically the Series Checklist goes thus:

GX:

Seasons 1 and 2: Own because they're stupid and hilarious, the last episode of 104 contains the best moment in the entire series.

Season 3: Skip basically everything after they get back from the alternate dimension because that is the worst

Season 4: If you're into GX watch it, if you're not, just watch the episodes about Chazz and the episode where Jaden gets stoned and you should be good.

5D's:

Seasons 1 and 2: Actually legit good. Watch these.

Season 3: You know Dexter's Laboratory? If your favorite part of Dexter's Laboratory was the Justice Friends, then watch Season 3. If not, watch the episodes about Jack anyway, because he's The Master of Faster.

Season 4: Skip the episodes that didn't get dubbed, because doing so vastly improves Jack's ultimate monster.

Season 5: You can skip the final duel against Z-ONE, otherwise it's actually pretty good.

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?)

Once a turn but otherwise yes, they stay out, yes they are treated as spell cards, yes you can, no they aren't.

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.

Edit: Wow. Did they remove the old guy in a wheelchair emote?

:corsair:

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.

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? :suicide:

Just two days ago I made a friend of mine ragequit and directly say "I never want to duel the Nekroz again." I can't wait to tell him about this.

I actually own a commissioned Chazz Princeton plushie complete with frayed ends of his blazer, courtesy of some friends in North Carolina as a birthday present one time. It has a voice box that when pressed says "If it can't hide the dirt, I don't want it over my shirt!"

If one was to judge basely solely on this guide, it would seem that Zexal isn't nearly as bad as everyone seems to describe it. There are far too many episodes that are simply "okay" for it to be great, but still not the eye-searing abomination described ITT.

That guide seriously undervalues the degree to which Yuma Tsukumo is awful.

The best thing is that it was totally pointless. You can lose twice in the WRGX (...it was that, right?) before getting kicked out, Team 5D's never loses. They could've lost this, to a team that actually showed more skill, and instead they win in an incredibly stupid way because the opponent suddenly becomes mentally retarded and decides that winning is less important than...some weird, out of place, nonsensical pride.

We could have avoided all this poo poo and still reached the same conclusion, but apparently our heroes must be absolutely invincible even if we have to gently caress everything up for it.

God, I love 5D's and yet that must be the most infuriating moment in the entire history of YGO for me. Even Zexal at its worst does not compare.

i completely forgot until I just looked it up that Yusei literally loses two duels over the course of the entire series

To be fair though, doesn't Yugi only lose once not including Filler? And that's when Kaiba threatens to commit suicide if Yugi beats him. I don't think main protagonists lose in Yugioh, like ever.

i still haven't gone through the original yugioh, i'll let you know when i do. that said, jaden did lose a few times. he lost to zane, kaibaman, and aster.
