... wow, I forgot that LK darn near copied that wholesale in his Abridged series. Truly, Yu-Gi-Oh! is a gem.

Obā-san · 2015-12-31 21:10:10

bruh that is straight up the original dub

this is just a normal ygo thread

I know, now. But I also recall LK saying similar, hence the comment.

This is me, over here, laughing hysterically.

Obā-san · 2015-12-31 23:23:46

almost every single card game in that show is roughly that dramatic

Obā-san · 2015-12-31 23:26:47

also that is literally the first episode

sometimes there are flamethrowers

Salix Babylonika · 2015-12-31 23:35:16

YuGiOh is actually a great series if you take it as a comedy.

Obā-san · 2015-12-31 23:36:14

it’s basically the worlds most histrionic soap opera stapled onto celebrity poker, but instead of poker it’s a card game constructed entirely out of ridiculous ass-pulls

and there’s also bad egyptology and bdsm-y outfits

Salix Babylonika · 2015-12-31 23:37:07

the entire franchise is like that

different shows mix it with different things

Section42L · 2015-12-31 23:37:55

Only adults should play children's card games!

Obā-san · 2015-12-31 23:38:18

boarding schools!

dystopia and motorcycles!

and

...i think Zexal is about space or some shit?

first off it's zeXal and is pronounced "zeal", because ayy lmao

secondly it is actually about like fucking guru mysticism or some shit

Arc-V is basically just all of the other shows mashed together and there's dimension traveling and characters that are alternate versions of each other as a major plot point. The franchise has just gone further and further down the rabbit hole as people started watching less.

Fossilmaiden · 2015-12-31 23:41:02

Actual YGO plot point:

An evil spirit stabs his host in the arm so that someone else can pretend to save his host, in order to make the main characters like him.

I only need one card to win this duel

Even though summoning an Egyptian God requires sacrificing monsters and is therefore impossible to do on the first turn

Obā-san · 2016-01-01 00:51:13

getting three sacrificable tokens onto the field turn one would requite a bit of magical christmas land but it's totally possible

Then again this pretty much defines the entire cartoon, so

Obā-san · 2016-01-01 00:54:24

honestly i think i would enjoy some dumb as fuck newgrounds-tier parody where yugi faces off against some dude with like a teleDAD deck or some shit

heart of the cards vs. card advantage

Obā-san · 2016-01-01 00:56:57

this may be the jankiest trading card of all time

maybe there is a jankier MTG card or something but i very sincerely doubt it

Yarrun XIX · 2016-01-01 00:59:50

define jankiest

Fossilmaiden · 2016-01-01 01:00:09

Salix Babylonika · 2016-01-01 01:05:18

there are tons of YuGiOh cards that have like small novels as rules text

Obā-san · 2016-01-01 01:10:11

you drop it onto the field with no cost, no strings attached, it has a huge body, right off the bat you can destroy three cards your opponent controls, also no strings attached, and if you get more Dark-type monsters in your graveyard after that you can just keep doing it, basically the minute it his the field you get +3 card advantage, with the almost certain possibility for that to keep happening every turn if it wasnt answered.

and the deck he was in could just keep doing that.

Obā-san · 2016-01-01 01:13:32

the deck he was in had a ton of redundant draw systems, and drop other monsters just as huge as he was every turn, and it had so much good stuff that it could just come back from stuff getting destroyed left and right

Obā-san · 2016-01-01 01:14:15

keep in mind, this dude drops on turn 1 or 2 easy

Obā-san · 2016-01-01 01:14:55

in case you havent gathered i played the card game a lot more than i watched the show

Quip · 2016-01-01 01:16:05

I can't help but feel like Adventure Time was low key parodying the vibe of those sorts of scenes and card games like YGO and Magic in general with the Card Wars episode

the fact that it ended up being a real game of its own too eventually only speaks to how effective it was at that

Obā-san · 2016-01-01 01:16:26

https://www.reddit.com/r/yugioh/comments/1ez421/explain_like_im_5_teledad/

here is a guy on reddit who does a good job explaining it but probably not in terms that would make a ton of sense to people here

Obā-san · 2016-01-01 01:22:08

wow i just nerded out

heh

ohh

no, broken magic cards are usually along the lines of 'can answer literally any situation' than 'can wreck the game in your favor in two turns.

It usually takes a broken magic combo of two cards or more to do that

There was a time when Yu-Gi-Oh GX was a show I watched a lot because it was stupid fun and the dub seemed aware of how dumb it was.

There was a duelist who was doing a The Dude impression.

honestly this dude wasnt even the scariest part of the deck

the scariest part was the endless drawing

like, +4 a turn, multiple ways to do it

he was just like

the star on top of the christmas tree that was "Konami doesnt playtest"

Obā-san · 2016-01-01 01:30:09

you know how people who have played magic for a long time talk about the bad old days when mirrodin or whatever was around and one deck built around a series of broken interactions that R&D didnt catch just pile-drivered the whole competitive scene for like a year

that is yu-gi-oh almost 100% of the time
