I want to try and make a deck revolving around Level Limit Area B, Gravity Bind, and a bunch of low level direct-attacking monsters. How viable is this, or does the existence of XYZs kind of tear it to ribbons?

I made someone disconnect on Devpro just now with Gravity Bind. It's pretty great (if you run an Xyz deck like me).

So Arc-V is a loving awesome show that does awesome things and manages to be kinda subtle about them (spoilers for the latest episode which you should go watch right f'in now).

So you might think at first, "well jesus if they weren't all going ahead of Shun, he would've just done some Xyz poo poo and OTKed all of them!" but if you do the math, if Shun summons Rise Falcon and attacks all three Hound Dogs, it would've left each Obelisk Force with 200 LP. Then they could do their combo and hit Shun for 2000 damage three times, at least two of which probably would've hit, since he was in no shape to go running for Action Cards, leaving Shun very, very dead.

Mitchie and Teppei fell on the grenade for Shun. Greatest combination indeed. :rip:


You're assuming that the Obelisk Force only has 2000 LP each at that point. Revolution Falcon could've finished the job if Kurosaki got a turn after that, but it's still after Michio and Teppei eat the effect damage.

e: Oh right, I was only looking at the actual card's effects. Whoops. But Rise Falcon would've left them with 500 LP each instead of 200.

Wait what the gently caress? Why did no one in this thread mention that Devpro had patched in CORE? :mad:

It's a really recent update, to be fair.

Also I felt the recent tag duel in Arc-V could've been solved without anyone being sacrificed if Shun just got his turn and Rise Falcon'd them.

How do you figure? After detaching an overlay unit, Rise Falcon would've only had 5200 attack points and done 3500 points of damage to each of them. He would have immediately lost after that from the trap cards' effects.

Or, if you're on a mac

You can't optimize pngs in Imgur. :colbert:

Irfanview is far more useful if you want to take a bunch of screenshots at a time, anyway.

Speaking of our heroes, it's made pretty clear by their bland designs and uninispired lines that I am really not expected to give a crap about anyone except Yusei. The only member of the supporting cast that has a name as of right now is that little thief girl, who stole an expensive piece of hardware but that's okay because it was to help her big brother figure win his childhood feud. A+ parenting there, sport.

Good lord, Sawatari is such an unbelievable gently caress-up. I think he might be an even worse Lancer than Dennis and Dennis is a loving fusion scum traitor.

On the other hand, he got that one Security guy to let him go between shots for no apparent reason, so the duel didn't matter at all if you think about it. :v:

And Serena didn't have to use Cat Dancer's effect to attack considering, and nothing of consequence happened because of it, so it seemed like the animators were only trying to fill time on that one, ha.

Most hilarious is the last tier though, with "Surrender Theory". That's right, the Integrated Course is taught, in their last year, how to give up.

I would think it's more about how to make your opponent surrender. So it's probably on a bunch of dick moves like deliberately doing nothing to waste time.

It's the secret how to inner monologue course. :v:

Not really. All the yutaginists have extended u's, Yuuya, Yuuto, Yuugo, Yuuri. They would probably have the same kanji in the title if they weren't spelled in kana. Yuzu is just Yuzu.

Those calendars are amazing.



This screenshot of Yuusei and a card showing his own hand exchanging cards with Yuya's hand has been circulating recently, thanks to the efforts of Director Ono. The card in question is 調和の宝札 or Cards of Consonance. I'm curious to know if anyone can figure out the face-up card within the card that Yuya is exchanging for two cards from Yuusei?

Looks like The White Stone of Legend.

Would you prefer we go back to hours and hours of absolutely inane filler like Zexal and latter 5D's where the plot doesn't show up, literally for months at a time and we're getting garbage like Crashtown specifically just to shill cards?
