I've always been amused for how batshit insane the manga versions are compared to the anime (Lua and Rua being Psychos, GX being a more proper sequel to Duel Monsters, Yuma being an idiot--oh wait.)

Still, the original manga was way more enjoyable when the card games were secondary. Once that they became the focus the only thing the manga got over the anime was the lack of filler arcs.

So, what's gonna happen with the Card Battle anime thread now? I mean, it was pretty much the YGO thread.

Was it? I'm sorry, I assumed that like Japan had an abundance of this stuff still like Cardfight Vanguard and Bakugan to talk about.

Well, only like two thread regulars talked about Vanguard. The rest of us were in for YGO (both the anime and the card game). Although this thread has been way more active.

So I don't know how many of you guys are familiar with the card game but there are some cards inspired by the Isthar family









There's also this guy, inspired by the Thief King Bakura




Pretty neat homage to the anime.

Man, spanish dubs for anime always have this weird sound quality to it where the voices sound like they don't mix very well with the audio in the rest of the show.

To be fair, that is because is a low quality recording. They sounded perfect on the broadcast or the home releases.

Is a mix of both actually.

There are fusion, XYZ and Synchro monsters on Yuya's dimension, but those are restricted to the people on LSD academy. Then you have the cards hold by the Rebellion people and Yugo that are cards never seen before on Yuya's dimension.

So I guess that Leo Corporation servers have info about every card in existance in the multiverse.

Well yeah, but that's the game mechanics, I meant more the concept in the context of the show. Is there any real logic as to what the two monsters are supposed to be doing, or is it just fusion without them admitting it?

Synchro was handled as the two monsters opening sort of a portal for the Synchro monster to materialize on the "real world". The tuner is the door, while the synchro material is the key.

XYZ are supposed to be antimaterial creatures using the XYZ units as means to stabilize their presence on the material world.

Or something like that :v:

The game is tragically different than a decade ago.


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:

Mind you, this was the original version of the card




Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth
Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by banishing 1 face-up Ritual, Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz Monster from anywhere on the field, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. This card's Special Summon cannot be negated. When this card is Special Summoned: Banish all other cards from both players' hands, fields, and Graveyards. Cards and effects cannot be activated in response to this effect's activation.

The only really good deck archetypes I remember are Black Wings and Dark World. Did either of those get nerfed hard recently? I actually own a full Dark World deck, as a gift from a friend when he decided to start playing magic instead of Yu-Gi-Oh.

They haven't been nerfed but they're seriously outclassed by the bullshit archetypes Konami Japan is making on each new expansion.

why did you need 4? did the spanish one come with a new one. Also how's that spot of a non-platinum Brothers feeling in your deck?

I wanted a full playset of Merlin, Last Chapter and Bedwyr plus an extra copy of each for my collection binder.

I've had the deck since LOTGY so I only changed the commons for the Plats, and added a spanish platinum knight for those I run on multiples. So I didn't have an issue with my secret rare brothers.

Joey had some serious bullshit luck-skill, though. (Though, you could probably say that about all the main characters from all the YGO series.) Those dice cards popped up way too often in his favor. And the way Angel's Dice and Demon's Dice worked in the anime was broken as gently caress. (Though, I think Angel's Dice has a <=500atk restriction on it.)

He fought regularly against guys that could will their next draw, used literal gods or had the strongest arsenal on the game. He needed to even the odds.

Plus, there were times when he was boned by his luck.

You guys better get used to XYZ monsters



quote:

Entermage Trapeze Wizard

Spellcaster Xyz Effect
anime effect
2 Level 4 Spellcaster-Type monsters

Any effect damage lower than or equal to this card's ATK becomes 0. During either player's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 monster on the field; that target can make a second attack during each Battle Phase this turn. At the end of the Battle Phase, if it did not make a second attack, destroy it.


paradoxGentleman posted:

You know what needs a buff? Fusion monsters. They have the most limiting summon conditions and are not nearly as strong as they should be.

You want more buffs than shaddoll?



quote:

1 "Shaddoll" monster + 1 WATER monster
Must first be Fusion Summoned. Neither player can Special Summon monsters from the hand or Graveyard with Spell/Trap effects. If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 "Shaddoll" Spell/Trap Card in your Graveyard; add it to your hand.

Wait does a card getting banished prevent effects that occur after you tribute summon. Specifically Cardcar D.

I might be wrong but I seem to remember that only applies if the card specifies "tributed and sent to the graveyard" on its effect. So if only says "tribute" you can apply effect even if it will be vanished.

As already mentioned, Talaya is only inmune to destruction effects so she can be dealt with easily with cards like 101, Castel, Compulsory Evacuation Device, Karma Cut (among others) or any monster with a high attack.

The same cards can also tace care of Chirubime, but if you are just being held up by her protecting from battle other monsters. A mere Book of Moon can get the work done.
