Dis ain't Yugioh.

Who's to say it "ain't".

So, where's the Brain Bleach we keep around?

 

[mimgrim]

Who's to say it "ain't".

I do.

This talk of Yugioh makes me miss. But I have no idea what's going on in the metagame anymore and it is just such an expensive game to keep up with irl. ;_;

But I really should try and get back into it.

So, where's the Brain Bleach we keep around?

I used it all up back when that one incident happened.

 

[Spazzy_D]

It is already Spring in Florida.

Having grown up in Miami, I didn't really realize February was still part of Winter until I was about 20.

 

[mimgrim]

Ok wow. I'm impressed by the new forbidden list of Yugioh. That's a format I could really get into. I would need to revampe my Chaos Piper deck a little bit, but other wise I could really get into that format.

Wish I had the money to build a deck though. Playing Irl is much more fun then playing online. Reason I left in the first place, got bored of playing on DN but don't really have the money to put into irl Yugioh. :L

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

I cannot get into a format without a proper backrow clearer. Almost everybody I play has too much backrow that outright makes my monster useless. It's horrid.

Heavy Storm comes back or they make a proper spell-based replacement with no stupid requirements.(discarding a card is not stupid, skipping your battle phase is not stupid, crap like Storm is stupid. I have to destroy backrow I may not have just to only destroy a small amount of cards, leaving them often with a ton? What kind of design was that?) Malevolent Catastrophe is unusable trash outside of one deck(Artifacts). It's too easy to pop before it ever goes off, is slow and will be countered most of the time, destroys your own backrow, can be countered by Starlight Road, which not only lets them keep their massive backrow, but freely summon a powerful beast that'll most likely kill your next destruction-based backrow. It's horrid.

Some of it is fine, but backrow is too powerful right now. If Fiendish Chain was at 1, I might be okay with Heavy being gone, and they limit any massively powerful Extra Deck cards(Constellar Omega, Pleiades, Dracosack, ban Big Eye already and stop wasting our time) or alternately limiting Forbidden Lance so your monster destruction cards are halfway usable(Omega still needs a limit unless Heavy comes back).

 

[Knight Dude]

I've been playing Megaman 6 lately. It's pretty awesome. The jet armor is pretty damn useful too. I still have to beat Knightman and Centaurman though.

 

[mimgrim]

Ironically that's around the time I left lol.

But due to the nature of my Chaos Piper deck I never had to worry about my opponents back-row that much. They shut down one of my monsters? Well I'll just bring out 2 more. That and I have quite a few single removal cards like MST and Caius. I just got bored of playing online. >_>

I can't use my irl Dragunity deck either anymore because of Ravine being banned. Though I could use my agents. But they are very out dated and rely on the field spell. Yugioh just requires so much money to make a good deck irl. .-.

But yea, Storm or Trunade needs to come back.

But still, compared to when I left, the list is 10 times better. SpellBook Judgment banned. Dragon Rulers pratically killed. Much better then when I left lol.

I'd say OCG is better. It lets you play more decks, is actually not OTK-orientated, despite the list itself(it has two Honest and Cyber-Stein), and is heavily balanced.

Also, Lavalval Chain, Foolish Burial, and Dragon Shrine work too. Dragunities aren't dead, but weakened. Besides that, they were a severely degenerate deck that was all about easy advantage and being near impossible to deal with if you're not faster, don't have The Emperor's Holiday out, or luckily had an MST set. Good riddance. Inzektors are far weaker by design, and have less options, none of which are beyond ridiculous. That, and their only issue card is Dragonfly, which lets them spam out monsters, spam Rank 5's(who are super easy to OTK with now, because of many Rank 5's being outright immune to destruction), and makes the Hornet(also required) OTK possible. To put it another way, Dragonfly lets you do two types of OTK's, Hornet lets you do one... if Dragonfly's there. Ban Dragonfly and lose all their real power, with a mediocre popper that is currently good for the game.

Also, Trunade doesn't work enough. The reason Heavy should come back is so players don't set all their backrow due to the fear of losing it. Trunade also is near impossible to counter outside of Dark Bribe or Solemn Judgment, and the second one is pretty broken in its own right and was a great ban.(I miss Ultimate Offering, but I think we can both agree it was easy to abuse due to the current cardpool. The card itself is balanced on its own, but the cardpool breaks it instead)

To move it back to SSB for a moment, I once made a Red-Eyes Black Dragon moveset. He slightly changed it up when he used a Metal Box, but not by much. Some other items gave unique effects, like he got Dragon Claws with the Beam Sword. I wouldn't mind if something like that was applied to Ridley.

Didn't TCG and OCG use to have the same lists? o.O

Dragunity weren't that bad. At least they weren't when I left. They might have changed since then for all I know.

Storm is more preferable yes. But Trunade would be a semi-decent alternative that allowed people to still set-up in that turn.

Yea, I know Offering gets broke by the cardpool. I've played Madolches before. But I also found ways to OTK without Offering, oh man was it fun, and now with Striker unlimited... I could build a very nasty Madolche deck.

 

[Pyra]

This whole week is going to be new pictures of the day, guys! And by that, I don't mean the pictures are new, the information is (obviously).

Then next week will all be pictures of lazy Pikachu.

Different now.

Dragunity weren't that bad. At least they weren't when I left. They might have changed since then for all I know.

Inzektors have more counters. They also had their cards properly hit, with Hornet and Dragonfly to 1. Now they suck. Dragunities were just slightly slower.

Storm is more preferable yes. But Trunade would be a semi-decent alternative that allowed people to still set-up in that turn.

It promotes OTK's, actually. Since it's almost impossible to counter, once you activate it, they won't be able to stop your stuff. Nobody played chainable cards during its reign, but why would they? They can't be destroyed.

Not even them. Gadgets and some off-the-wall Blackwing Builds(combine it with Mystic Plasma Zone and Black Whirlwind for free monsters) loved it. I only play it in two of my decks, one that is based around Monster Mash(it's the theme of the deck after all) and the other because it's a good way to deal with bounces. It's my usual out to Pleiades. They never bounce UO, just my monster. Literally. I mean, unless the monster is a tribute one, bounce the card that allows me to mass summon.

 

[mimgrim]

Huh. Interesting

I suppose. Though I never cared for Inzekotrs anyway. Dragunity was basically the first deck I played getting into serious Yugioh. I'll always have a soft spot for them.

Still better then nothing. xD

Yea, I know. I just played Madolches the most, of the decks that got uses out of it. Madolches were hella fun. I wonder if they are more viable now with Striker unlimited. Oh the possibilities.

Completely understandable. They're meh now, but playable at least.

...It's actually harder to OTK with it gone, so I kind of like it gone. YMMV.

Coming from me.
Beat Knightman fist, then Centuarman.
The latter's weakness is the former's weapon.
Trust me, I learned this the hard way...

I do.

But I really should try and get back into it.

Honestly, I've never gotten into card games.
Simply because I hardly know anyone who plays them (I think there's a hobby shop around here that does have tournaments. But mostly for Magic: the Gathering).
I remember having Pokemon, Yugioh, and at one point Neopet (I don't know either) trading cards at one point. But I hardly play anymore...
To be fair, I hardly know anyone with a 3DS. And the ones I do know either don't have them that often, or I don't see too often.
I remember one of my sibling having a DS. But, they hate playing against me...
...This is also why I prefer games with online...

I used it all up back when that one incident happened.

Dang.
I heard they we're having a sale at the store. Why did no one get any?
It's essential to any thread...

 

[Houndstooth]

Playing games online really helps communities build. Most people I play Brawl with hate it when we get done, and we have to switch games. Compared to people on this forum, I'm terrible. But, compared to them, I'm unstoppable. Online play helps those who want to get better become better. I really hope SM4SH has better online.

I can barely get online with my Wii. My Wii U is easy, but not only do I have to redo everything in Brawl(I refuse to transfer my data. Screw that), but I can't use a Gamecube Controller or the Tablet(which I love, to note). So it's not worth it. :/

It's fun, despite the issues.

Well, that's the thing.
For me, it's either online or bust. As I don't have people to play locally.

The funny thing is generally, games with online last me more than games without.
I'm not one to keep games. And most last me a couple months. But I kept games like Ki:U and MK7 for a year if not more...

I honestly don't have many Wii games. Right now, I only have Mario Kart Wii and Brawl. I get on MKW way more.

I usually return games quickly as well. But, with online games, I can play much longer. With Xbox, I always have friends and people to play with because of how much popular online is with that system. I don't care for CoD that much, but I have friends to play it with. I'm much more likely to keep and invest in games that I can continue playing over time.

 

[Knight Dude]

I tend to keep games. Whether or not it has online isn't that big of a deal to me though. But if it does have online, it has to at least be decent. I like the online for Mario Kart 7, but Brawl's can be annoying to deal with sometimes. I can't really say for Pokemon Y yet. I haven't beaten the main game, so I don't want to battle online yet. I should hurry up and catch Ditto, so I can start breeding some stuff, though I'm not too into being super competitive with Pokemon.

Eh, I've tried playing with an Xbox (a relative's house), but home consoles just don't seem like my cup of tea.
Though I am aware of the online. Isn't that bad. I tried playing Halo once.
...Let's just say I sucked.

I honestly don't have many Wii games. Right now, I only have Mario Kart Wii and Brawl. I get on MKW way more.

Notably, I'm sad Mortal Kombat: Armageddon had no online play. The game has its flaws, of course, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and felt that was the thing that made it ultimately was a problem. It was unbalanced, yes. It had a large roster with too many similar moves, yes. The bonus stuff you could do is eh, sure. But I loved the ability to kreate my own guy, and the story mode was fun enough(albeit, needlessly difficult, possibly more than 9).

For the record, it's my favorite game and I'd almost call it perfect if it wasn't for the Wii version being screwed over.

I don't know, Mortal Kombat Deception was pretty cool to play. It pretty much had it's own version of Puzzle Fighter and that Chess Battle thing too. Of course MK9 is also really good, but that goes without saying.

The only games I really keep are Virtual Console games.
Though, I've been considering starting to just buy "physical" games on the Eshop.
That way not only can I play them as I please, but then I can re-download for free if I ever want to play them again.

I can't really say for Pokemon Y yet. I haven't beaten the main game, so I don't want to battle online yet. I should hurry up and catch Ditto, so I can start breeding some stuff, though I'm not too into being super competitive with Pokemon.

If you ever do. A decent idea would be trying Pokemon Showdown.
It's a competitive Pokemon site without the hassle of raising Pokemon (mind you it uses Smogon's rules).

I've never played MK: Armageddon. I'm surprised that it didn't have online play. Injustice: Gods Among Us has good online play. I guess it is much newer than that, though. I really like Injustice, mainly because I'm a huge DC fan. That said, I am terrible at classic style fighting games.

Online play just really let's me see how well I can do against others. I like the strategy that comes with playing a real person.

They're good too, but Armageddon has more enjoyable features for me. Everybody and their mom(literally in one case) playable, and I admit the Kart thing was lame compared to Chess and Puzzle Kombat. Honestly, making my own guy is soooo much fun. I kreated one of my OC's, WarLord, and he worked out really well as a kharacter.

Deception was not bad, though. 9's main issue is how hyper sexualized the made everybody. :| I liked it beyond that.

Nintendo wouldn't let it have online play because Mario Kart must be the first one to do so. Beyond petty. Just push back Armageddon's date, then release it with online. Albeit, it probably wouldn't be very good due to the servers, but eh. I love the game, but I do admit it felt watered-down from various other ones... in kind of every way.
