Pegasus is voice by James from team rocket.

??? The three dub voices for James voiced Bakura/Bandit Keith/Chumley/Jack Atlas (Ted Lewis), Kaiba/Kemo (Eric Stuart), and Weevil (Jimmy Zoppo) respectively. The Japanese voice wasn't in Yu-Gi-Oh at all...

What's REALLY great is that all of 4kids regular VAs were hired as voice actors for Valkyrie Profile. It was totally great playing that, and getting to a big dramatic scene, and suddenly hearing Ash's voice come out of someone.

The best was the guy clearly setup to be a main antagonist in the sequel... with Meowth's Voice.

I want to play the card game now. What's the best yugioh game?

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.

Yuzu is the only main character with an archetype I don't like. I loved the cooking, Gem Knight, and Sawatari v1 archetypes. Overall Arc V seems to have mostly good ones.

I enjoy playing Melodious more than watching them. They're douchebag stall, yes, but it's an excuse to play classical music while I'm being a douchebag and stalling.

I really hope that the lead Fusion villain's reasoning behind this is "I was running a decent deck based on Level-based cards, and then Xyz users started using these bullshit ranks" because then he'd be the most sympathetic villain in Yu-Gi-Oh history.

Easiest deck to build and play: U.A.
No extra deck stuff, just sportsmen hitting people with bats and then throwing baseballs at their cards. Deck itself costs like nothing now that Royal Decree is reprinted.

Blue Eyes and Yosenju are both really fun decks. I like UAs because their thesis statement is "people do too many things in this game." They're basically a wrestling heel tag team that stop the opponent from doing anything and tagging in and out all the time. To prove the point, my build runs two different traps: 3x Royal Decree (no Traps), and 2x Breakthrough Skill (no Effect)

(Mighty Slugger: Opponent can't activate effects until end of damage step when I attack
Perfect Ace: Once/Opponent's Turn, Negate and Destroy opponent's S/T/M Effect
Goalkeeper: Once/Opponent's Turn, Target a UA, this turn it can't be destroyed by opponent's monster or card effects
Midfielder: Once/Either Turn, Target another UA, Special Summon a UA with a different name from Hand
All UA: Return a different named UA to hand to Special Summon this card from hand.)

Yeah, UA monsters are terrifying when used right. It's probably the strongest of my current decks. (I also use Hunder, Ghostrick, and Gusto at varying levels of usefulness.)

My favorite XYZ to use against people who spam XYZ is Unformed Void (3L4 monsters, Once/turn, during the opponent's Main Phase, detach 1, this card gains attack/defense equal to the total ATK of all your opponent's XYZ monsters. This is a quick effect) Since I don't have millions of dollars for the various toolbox Rank 4s (loving $60 for Lavalval chain?) it works well enough.

Also, another card that's useful for Blue Eyes Deck if you're using Ultimate anyway is Five Headed Dragon. It's equally as simple to summon and stronger. You can put it in defense to wall against ARK.

A fun card to have in any deck with a tuner is Colossal Fighter. It's basically a free "gently caress You" to any warrior deck, and if they manage to get over it in battle? It summons itself! Just protect it from other destruction effects.

Slightly unrelated, but when do Pendulum cards go to the extra deck, exactly? I know for instance, if an opponent destroys them, but what if you tribute them or use them for Overlay effects?

If they are on the field, they go into the extra deck.
Basically as long as they aren't xyz materials/discarded/milled, they go to the extra deck.

I love Doble Passe. It chains well with Waboku. Especially against Honest.
"Honest!"
"Okay, I chain Doble Pass to it. Your attack gain fizzles as your attack is now a direct attack. Also you take a lot of damage."/"I attack." "I chain Doble Pass, then Waboku. I take no damage, and you take a lot."

":colbert: I activate The Monarchs Stormforth, and tribute your Sonata to summon U.A. Perfect Ace."

Terrible decks are fun to mess around with. I had a match with my friend, we were both using our worst decks. I was using my Chess Archfiends, and he was using his amalgam of terrible cards called the "Unhappy" deck (After "The Unhappy Girl," who was his first card). after messing around in games 1 and 2, and tying overall, in game 3, I agree to hold back so he can summon his boss monster (Superdreadnaught Rail Gun Gustav Max). I kill monsters so he can get Sephylon out, and he summons Gustav... right into my Bottomless Trap Hole I had set three turns before making that deal.

He still won.

So I went to my college's card games club today, and the president hooked his Laptop up to the Projector to show off the Banlist. After that was done I asked if I could show something.

I showed the first Sora/Shun duel. I flipped a coin between that and one of the Sawatari episodes.

...I guess I'll need to learn how to build and use a deck first though. Man, the anime makes it look so easy. I need to find myself some mystical pendant with dark powers, that seems to make playing this overly complicated but fun card game far easier.

Try the Skull Servant deck (or my UA deck) out to get a feel for the game, and then figure out what you like and what you dislike and find an archetype that supports you.
(Ex: I hate extra decks XYZs, and like saying gently caress you to my opponent. Thus, I run UA, who don't run extra deck, and who prevent the opponent from doing stuff.
