Watched the first minute.

Didn't see a single tornado.

Saw Drill Rush used twice for attacking.

Closed the tab.

Drill can be an approach. Provided you edge cancel it.

Earl can :D

Yeh, M2K does this consistantly on BF for spacing and stage control. I use it occassionally too.

However I believe Grim said it was used to attack.

If you were just making a statement however, then your point is completely valid

Sees 8335 posts by Grim Tuesday....

Sighs loudly, begins to wonder if anyone actually cares about what he posts, or if he just has nothing better to do with his life.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

I'm just more social than you bro, no need to get so mad cause you are jealous of my post count.

 

[Remastered]

Social on a video game thread website...

Need I say more?

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Here we are on a website for a game we play competitively with characters like Pikachu and Mario, we spend ludicrous amounts of time and money on this game to the point of travelling interstate just to play it even when we know we won't win any money...

And you are trying to pull the "no life" card on me specifically?

Need I say more?

 

[Remastered]

No, I tried to pull the 'why does Grim bother posting so much when no one listens to you card' and you attempted to use get out of jail free card called 'social life'.

Next come back?

or if he just has nothing better to do with his life.

^social life related

But I digress, people do listen to what I say.

 

[tibs7]

i dont

but i dont listen to anyone really

you guys should play pokemon tcg instead yayayay :D

 

[Grim Tuesday]

TCGs cost too much monehz

 

[asianaussie]

reshiphlosion is a really cheap deck and it's incredibly viable

 

[Grim Tuesday]

But then it'll go out of date next rotation and I'd have to buy more cards >_>

 

[Remastered]

Yugioh > Pokemon TCG. No rotation, and better card structure.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Yugioh is even more expensive than Pokemon though

I might play it again once I get a job, do you play, Matt?

 

[asianaussie]

rotation's not till like next year september

reshiphlosion can be turned into reshiboar incredibly easily at low cost, which will be kept next rotation

 

[Attila_]

Pokemon tcg? Pokemon online is where it's at.

Otherwise I wanna play some brawl.

I know, right?

 

[Remastered]

Yeh just Yugioh Grim, Vyse keeps trying to get me into Pokemon. Yugioh isn't that expensive, it cost me about $300 all up for 4 decks I have built and 2 of them are unbeaten, even by new card structures. Plus that $300 has bought me a mountain of side cards to sort through one day.

Took me about 18 months to get the cards I wanted though. I have a deck built like IC's in brawl, infinite lock lolololol

 

[Grim Tuesday]

It is expensive when you don't have an income xD

Which deck do you run? I quit just after Rescue Cat got banned (completely wrecked my Ojama deck + I didn't like how fast the game was getting + it was getting too expensive), so I'm a bit behind...

 

[Remastered]

Rescue cat isn't banned anymore as far as I'm aware now that there are considerable amounts of cards that lock off the field and graveyard card activations. Substitoad is still banned though which is similar, but better.

My current deck is a dark element deck. Based around destiny hero plasma lock and spell and trap reactor locks. If I get 3 free turns without any card punishment, the game is over. Sweep decks usually hit me pretty hard early.

I run Ancient Forest Fields and basically sit and watch you self destruct, it's good fun. I wish more people played it tbh, although about 4 in our scene up here play so it's still good.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

So what is the meta like at the moment? Diverse or a few top decks dominating? And how fast is it, you said lockdown in your postso I'm guessing it is a lot slower and more control based at the moment?

 

[tibs7]

asianaussie, will you be there this wke?

everyone will expect the boar, stupid theme decks....

 

[Remastered]

Tbh, at the last tournament I played, I was the only control deck player. Most decks from the semi noob to pro sections run fast synchro to assault mode decks. Most popular deck atm is stardust assault mode, given that the card is about $120 on it's own. However my deck trashed everyone of them as soon as it came out, (which is the only time you can beat it unless you can destroy it in the graveyard)

Lvl dragons are still popular, and so are the six samurai, and technical techs like mechs, frogs, and nordic ascendants. Spirit & polymerisation decks have dropped off the face of the earth almost entirely though.

I run 4 decks, all of which are control decks apart from 1 which is a position deck (morphtronic).

 

[Grim Tuesday]

How would frogs even work without Substitoad?

And yer, I heard that Six Sam got more support. Just as I quit everyone was hyping them up to be the next Tier 1 deck.

 

[asianaussie]

i went to ballarat and just missed top cut

50/50 on whether or not i will go this weekend, if i do ill say hi

 

[Remastered]

As far as tier 1 goes, its fast synchro's that take the cake, there are an abundance of different types. I have yet to be defeated by a tier one deck though. You can control the speed of the game these days with the right cards.

With substitoad, you can special summon another frog monster, upon its death to the graveyard, basically meaning, you can summon infinite substitoads in def position from the graveyard as their effects still play upon summoning. Add to that Frog the Jam and Flip Flop Frog, and **** gets real very quickly. Hence the ban on substitoad.

does yugioh play sideboards?

magic da bess anyway

 

[Remastered]

Sideboards?

If you're refering to what I think you are, they use 3 main deck fields and 4 main play fields. Deck fields include your deck (obvious), your synchro, spirit, ritual, fusion, and basically any other non-reglular sumoning card deck, and your side deck. Side deck cannot play during your macth, but it usually consists of 15 cards that can be swapped in after a duel. Matches in Yugioh are best of 3 so you can change cards to counter setups or the opposing deck between duels.

As for the play fields, there is your in play area, which consists of monster slots, spell & trap slots, and the graveyard. Then there is out of play, which is basically only used when an effect sends a card completely out of play (hence the name). Yugioh is really simple once you understand chains, and card speeds. It's very rare that a dispute arises in rules that aren't covered by the universal ruleset. Usually occurs when 2 different card rules conflict one another, but card speeds usually alleviate this problem. However I have had one instance where everyone of 4 of us disputed a rule differently, and it was the most ******** situation of cards I have ever seen, and you would never expect to see it occur during a match, it was just that 6 cards all activated off one action.

Edit: Come to the next LD tourney birds and I'll show you how it plays if you like.

 

[J-Birds]

Oh i know the rules, i played somewhat competitively when monarchs and gadgets reigned supreme, i just couldnt remember if there were sideboards/decks or not.

 

[Remastered]

Have you still got your cards? I still use thunder monarch and light monarch in one of my decks now .

 

[J-Birds]

I was pretty budget so i just played zombies.

Make a thread about the trading card games guys, if you wish to continue chatting about it

Oh I know what Substitoad does, I was asking how does a Frog deck even work if Substitoad is banned?

I wouldn't say gadgets ever reigned supreme, anti-meta decks can never be the best deck by definition.

 

[asianaussie]

im perfectly fine with this being a tcg thread

shaya, you should play cards, it's fun

 

[Shaya]

I did/used to play cards.

I used to on average make $300 a night playing blackjack at the casino when I was a gambling nut.

I also used to play an online version of Yugioh which had you in this basic 2D world where you walk around and challenge people at stadiums and had all cards available (up until the Hero decks [the one the 2nd anime protagonist used]).

the guy also went and programmed in all the show only cards including the god cards, shiz was so fun when I was like 16.
I've wanted to program a game like it with all cards ever since, but obviously my interest in the game waned.

does yugioh play sideboards?

yes it does, how can you guys know the metagame of yugioh and not know what a sideboard is, **** me.

But I digress, people do listen to what I say.

the only people who listen to you, are people who are as dumb as you are, which unfortunatly is a lot of people.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Yer, but ur ghey.

So there.
