I remember not caring very much about the new Yugioh series until someone told me on Skype that in episode 34, someone carpet bombs a child.

Context, please.

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

Are we trying to make sense of the summoning mechanics of Yugioh?

It's simple really: two monsters go bye bye, one new monster comes out and goes "'sup yo?"

- If your Scales have only 1 Level between them, you cannot Pendulum Summon only Monsters of that Level. For example, if one Pendulum Monster is Scale 3 and your other is Scale 5, you cannot Pendulum Summon only Level 4 Monsters. This differs from the Anime, however.

Why?

How do you end up with 13 LP? Everything in this game goes in 50s, sans old bad cards.

Also that Xyz Change video was insane. I don't understand much about current YGO but that was still amazing. If we had gotten something like that in Zexal it'd be far easier to defend it.

Cards which constantly cut your life point damage in half. You round up, and it'll inevitably be 13. It's strange.

Also, if you want a full explanation of the Xyz Change deck and how it works, send me a PM and I'll be glad to explain it to you.

The heat death of the universe will occur before a RUM-deck is allowed to become meta.

Two years ago, when I was playing online, I created a competitive Heraldic deck revolving around ranking up 18 to C69. It won me more duels than I lost against meta decks.

I await my heat-death.

WCS or nothing fool

Seriously though, I too await my heat-death. I had some fair success with Astral Force Burning Abyss (pleiades is as broken as ever) this spring so it isn't impossible. The RUM part of raptors is fine for now but it's still way to gimmicky to be competitive. It just feels so disappointing however, RUM was the coolest thing to come out of Zexal and yet its primary legacy will forever be rank-4 spam.

Sylvans also get quite a boost from The Seventh One. It's just that their extra deck doesn't need two wasted slots on Neo Tachyon or Dark Knight.

So this is the one to use if you want to play online, not Devpro?

Bingo.

ThermoPhysical posted:

DevPro is maintained by a team of people, not just one. YGOPro is the one maintained by just one guy who refuses to tell when things will be updated or not and it breaks every time he tries to update it so it just takes longer.

DevPro doesn't break due to coding. It breaks because every time there's an update, TONS of people try to log in and it crashes the servers.

Also, DevPro is the program you want if you want to play online. YGOPro lets you play offline but you will have to wait for updates to banlists and card sets.

Even if this is the case, devpro seems to bug up quite frequently. For example, registering an account on devpro is an impossibility for me; clicking on the register button doesn't actually do anything.

It is the case, it's one of YGOPro's biggest issues is the updates. It broke for NECH and only about 10 cards were available to use when the dev claimed all were accessible. He refused to listen to reason when people told him otherwise and made people wait until about December 20th to have a fix. NECH launched in the TCG in Nov 2014.

As for your issue, it should pop up a little screen asking your username, password, etc. Have you tried to redownload it? I had this issue once and just had to redownload.

It did pop up that screen. When I ultimately hit the register button, it greyed out, and nothing happened. When I closed out of that registration window and tried registering again, it said "error connecting to server".

Most of us have been using Devpro for the better part of a year without any significant issue except the occasional server crash. I think the issue might be on your end.

For reasons that have already been posted Devpro is better than YGOPRO.

Well it goes like this.

-Odd eyes Pendulum dragon in p zone, use effect search out Creation.
-odd eyes to extra deck.
-Xyz summon a dragon monster, which is super easy, there are a lot of them in all kinds of ranks.
-Pendulum summon Oddeyes/summon dragon ruler/summon red eyes/whatever.

Use creation's effect and bam there you go.

And there is probably an easier way to summon it as well. Its not like ita a first/second turn nuke, its for when the opponent is in the middle of a set up.

Mecha Phantom Beasts + DNA Surgery.

Bam.

^^Well poo poo. Youre right.
Im not familiar at all with the Zexal anime archetypes so I didnt know about that. I much prefer the Duel Terminal ones anyways.

Id love for Magician of Creation's effect to become "This cards Rank is now a Level". "Rank -> Level" effect (and vice versa maybe?) Would be really cool effects.
I would love an archetype that juggles that.

Then again that probably will ban any XYZ card that has a strong effect.

Do Solitaire until Planetellar gets 14 materials and just skip your opponents next two turns.

When xyz monsters are used as xyz materials to summon a new monster, the xyz materials of the material monster are detached before the summon occurs.

Dabir posted:

Literally every effect which lets you stack Xyz on other Xyz has kept the materials. Check any Rank-Up-Magic or Number C39. Where are you getting this?

1. There are clauses in those card texts which allow the previous materials to remain attached as xyz materials.

2. Summoning Number F0: Future Hope requires 2 xyz monsters as materials. There is no such clause on the card which allows the xyz materials to stay. Therefore, it is summoned to the field with 2 xyz materials (the monsters which were used).

Dexie posted:

...and this is actually using 2 Xyz monsters as material. It's two different things, and as far as I can remember, Future Hope is the only card that's like that. Definitely an exception, and not the rule.

Considering Future Hope is the only card of its kind, and it is the only card without the clause text, I don't think it is the exception so much as it is 'the rule never put into action'.
