[Snacks the sober sea lion]

Summoned Skull does more damage because it's raining in real life.

Yugi fuses his skeleton mammoth with an arrow, fires it at Kaiba, and causes his dragon to melt.

He's truly the King of Games, provided he can make the rules up on the spot.

IVE PLAYED THIS GAME BEFORE

BUT NEVER QUITE THIS WAY

We are closer than brothers! BUT NOW WE HAVE TO FIGHT EACH OTHER!

Spoiler

I listened to this while playing the cardgame in a dark bathroom. It was our way of simulating the shadow realm. I was a cool kid.

 

[javac]

Fucking Hell is this the new one? My little brother doesn't watch it because he said to me Zexal sounds like SEXal. *shrug*

FACE UP

FACE DOWN

ATTACK OR DEFEND

STAY ON GUARD!

 

[The Adder]

yeah the OG game was crazy hard to get cool monsters out. Syncho Summoning and XYZ fixes that.

You and I?

We're not going to like each other.

It's terrible. A completely terrible series.

Makes the first series seems great in comparison. Even with the terrible dub dialogue.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Goddammit, and now I hear the anime at one point people dueled while riding MOTORCYCLES?

5D's is fantastic, bro. Fairly well written too.

As for the original series, just skip ahead to the last half of season 5. It basically pulls a Sailor Moon in terms of "kiddy show that suddenly gets dark and epic as hell convincingly."

that is literally not even his final form.

Met me in the streets,

 

[Aaron-Lagann]

Zexal hair game is next level.

Holy shit, I stopped watching after a few episodes, but that looks anime enough to get me back in.

It gave us the greatest top deck card ever, so...it's something.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

it doesn't help that koonami licensing bullshit resulted in no text on the cards of the english dub, which really emphasizes how people pretty much were just making shit up.


Anyone remember when kaiba programmed a virus into his blue eyes which was played by the fake?

To be fair that was during Duelist Kingdom, which didn't even really have rules. See also: Joey's first duel with Mai, or the Paradox Brothers BS, or Panic.

I was very happy Battle City actually made things very similar to the actual card game.

 

[okayfrog]

I heard 5Ds was actually good. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the card game, but I only watched a bit of the anime (some of the Duel City arc). Heard GX is a mixed bag, 5Ds was good, and nothin' on Zexal. And now there's Arc-V next month!

Shame. I think I remember it getting some positive nods here and there. I was kinda surprised. And sceptical.

All this talk of Yugi-boy reminded me Shaman King. Remember that? I loved it.Dat intro song.

 

[Vibranium]

Just watch The Abridged Series instead (especially older episodes). That's all you need.

 

[RoadDogg]

Yu Gi Oh as played in real life.

Show was highly accurate.

WTF is going on in this? As someone who has only played the game when it first came out and everyone had the same 2-3 decks, I can honestly say I have absolutely no idea what that guy is saying and why he is able to play 20 cards in 1 turn.

To me 5D's is the only one that felt really planned out the whole way through. Haven't seen Zexal though aside from a dub ep that had me wretching in horror at the VA's.

Some sort of degenerate combo. Advanced card games like YGO and MTG have combos where you play like 30 cards in one turn to do something stupid. Or "go infinite" with a kind of endless loop.

I don't understand half of what he was saying, but he has deck based around a few cards that do damage based on the number of cards in the discard pile. His deck must be full of every card he can find that lets him discard stuff to search for or draw more cards.

The game seems to already have been going for a while, but he got on a roll with a few cards and managed to discard the remainder of his deck, then flipped 3 cards that deal damage, killing his opponent.

Self-mill. You use a combo to burn through as much of your deck (or all of it) in one turn as possible to get specific cards you need to win on your first or second turn.

I ran Gearfried + Butterfly Dagger + Royal Magical Library in high school with Chaos Emperor Dragon for a similar instant win. Along with Painful Choice just in case it was early in the duel and I couldn't play CED yet. Used the traditional banlist so it was within the rules.

And then there was this:

I remember seeing her when I was a kid and being so confused because she looked almost exactly like kaiba's lil bro

 

[Leunam]

Was Card Captor Sakura based on a game property? I enjoyed the hell out of that show. Might be nostalgia talking, but it felt at least a little more mature than Pokemon or Yugi-oh at the time.

Card Captor Sakura was based on an original manga series.

It is also a classic whereas Pokemon and YGO were cash-ins. Also keep in mind that the YGO manga predates the YGO game, whereas the Pokemon games predate the Pokemon anime.

 

[Leunam]

I was aware of the manga, but wasn't sure if there was a card game that went with it. But thinking about it now, I don't remember there being any mechanics to fighting those loose creatures akin to how pokemon or Yugi-oh monsters fight.

 

[kingkitty]

I saw the first movie in theaters lol

Of course not... How would you play a TCG with Card Captor Sakura's cards?

 

[Leunam]

It would probably be pretty awesome.

 

[t26]

The final duel was one of the best ending of all time .

 

[BassForever]

The first 2 seasons of 5ds (subbed) beat out any other part of YGO anime dub or sub its that good.

 

[GungHo]

I would like to guffaw, but honestly He-Man and GI Joe weren't all that more intellectual.

 

[Haly]

Of course not... How would you play a TCG with Card Captor Sakura's cards?

Well, I'm sure there are "games" that can be played with Tarots and, excluding all the anime filler cards, the Clow Cards were pretty much a Tarot deck.

 

[Dr. Malik]

This thread makes me want to go and watch 5D's. I skipped it since GX was mediocre and the idea of duels in motorcycles looked silly. I started watching Zexal just to see what Xyz summoning is about and its complete crap

 

[Geneijin]

I thank this thread for making me check out where Zexal is at.

 

[pikablu]

Yugioh Dark Duel Stories for GBC is the shit. Best damn card game ever. Ive played it on and off for years and still haven't beaten it. But it always grabs my attention again when I go to it. So much content in a small game.

Loved that game.

Was so pissed I didn't get the Exodia/BEWD/DM SKU though. >=/

Seiyaryu, what are you even good for?!

Zexal gets quite better in later episodes. 5D's is just great, specially the first two arcs.

The rules are so broken though. Nothing like the real TCG! I guess that has its own appeal though.

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

I loved watching the show as a kid, but man was it stupid at times.

Also, when playing with my friends and them playing a monster i was like

 

[Prompto]

All this talk of Yugi-boy reminded me Shaman King. Remember that? I loved it.Dat intro song.

God I used to love that intro. Never got to see the end of the show but I remember I enjoyed it a lot.

That made it even better.

 

[Ahasverus]

I refuse to watch this series again because I would probably look at it as being even stupider than I did years ago.

The story of my life.

Yeah man its bloody awesome. Still puts a massive smile on my face. The show was awesome too. Fox Kids/Jetix

so much theatrics for basically cheating.

 

[Cow Mengde]

Yeah, remember the One Piece intro.

 

[Nachos]

Zexal hair game is next level.

From DBZ to Saint Seiya.

I saw the first movie in theaters lol

As did I. Probably even still have the promo card that came with some of the first showings lying around somewhere.

 

[Metalingus5150]

BROOKLYN RAGE!!

 

[faridmon]

Want to know which anime a bit worse than this?

Spoiler

Beyblade

The first season was good IMO.

Then it went to unprecedented level of shit!

 

[Zeroth]

I thank this thread for making me check out where Zexal is at.

Man, the original series were not exactly the most realistic setting (ancient egyptian lasers), but at least it never got into where Zexal it now. I mean, I can barely tell the series is still about cards watching that.
