Please don't go downhill like 5D's and ARC-V.

Alright that's cool and all, but where the fuck are my LINK SENET CARDS KONAMI?!!?!

>>153582635
There's no way it won't.

so where does this new anime fit in the yu-gi-oh timeline?
in fact where do the others fit? i know it's Duel Monsters > GX > ???

DM>GX>ZeXal has been ""confirmed"" so far.
No idea where 5D's could fit in.
ARC-V is probably a completely different universe.

>>153582668
The timeline is pretty straightforward everything season follows the last in the future

>>153582668
DM -> DSOD -> GX -> 5Ds are all on the same timeline
ZeXal and Arc-V are currently their own things in their own timelines.
No hints as to where VRAINS is set. It'll probably be standalone like the last 2.

>have played this game from 2011-2015

>in 2016 I came back to the game for a month, would've got top 8 at my regionals in that time but in the last round a shitty judge call ruined my chances

Not saying this to brag, I just feel like most the people who come to these threads dont play very competitively and I can say with a bit of knowledge on the subject that this is the WORST thing Konami has done to the game.

It has just become a completely different game that happens to have the rights to the yugioh name at this point. I can honestly see the majority of the playerbase quitting.

>>153582767
Hey, you. Darkside of dimensions is manga continuity. it has no canon on anime GX and 5D's and DM. It fits nicely with DM, R and GX's mangas,tho. All of them overseen by Kaz himself.

EXPLANATION FOR NEWCOMERS/CONFUSED FOLK (PART 1):

Fundamental Field Change 1: The Pendulum zone and Magic/Trap Zone have been collapsed together so that you have 3 purely Magic/Trap zones and 2 other zones that act either as Magic/Trap zones or Pendulum zones depending on what you put in it. In other words, if you are using two Pendulum monsters as scales, you now only have 3 open spaces for other magic and trap cards. Likewise, if you are filling all 5 spaces with magic and trap cards, you have no space to place any Pendulum monsters as scales.
Fundamental Field Change 2: Under normal conditions, Extra Deck monsters can no longer be summoned to the traditional 5-slot monster zones (which is now called "Main Monster Zones") from the Extra Deck. They can normally only be summoned to the newly created 2-slot "Extra Monster Zone" that is located in the center of the field between the players, directly in in front of the 2nd and 4th Main Monster Zones (i.e. in front of the 2 Main Monsters Zones that are not the leftmost/rightmost/middle ones). When there are no monsters in either Extra Monster Zone, the Extra Monster Zones are treated as not belonging to either player. The first player to summon an Extra Deck monster will have the ability to choose which of the 2 empty Extra Monster Zones they want to summon the monster in. The instant one of your monsters occupies one of the 2 Extra Monster Zones, the other empty Extra Monster Zone will belong to your opponent and you will no longer be allowed to summon a monster to that other zone as a result i.e. each player can only control 1 Extra Zone at a time. The only way to have more than 1 Extra Deck monster on your side of the field is to utilize one of the newly created Extra Deck Monsters called "Link Monsters".

>>153582771
>Have played this game since literally the beginning, as in Volume 1 Imports When I Was 8 "the beginning".
>Spent almost all of that either playing or helping people play competitive, as well as helping nostalgiafags, kids, and returning players learn the new stuff.

This game has only gotten better with time. We've had a few rocky bits, and Konami's not the best at handling some of the competitive stuff, but the game has only improved by leaps and bounds over time.

Anyone who says Links are ruining the game weren't good at the game to begin with. This mechanic opens a plethora of new doors and options while simultaneously curbing some of the more irritating and overbearing aspects of the game.

>>153582418
If only the guys who did the 5D's soundtrack didn't disband. A 5D's style OST seems like it would've been a good fit for VRAINS

>>153582881
Link Monsters are a type of Extra Deck monster whose card frame color is dark blue with a hexagonal honeycomb-like pattern. These monsters have neither level nor rank (i.e. they have no stars whatsoever, the space between their name and the picture is blank). Furthermore, where their defense stat would normally be located is instead the text LINK-X, where X is a number that varies depending on the monster. This is the Link Monster's link number. Link Monsters do not have a defense stat. They can NEVER be in defense position under any circumstances.

Steps to summon a Link Monster:

Step 1: Look at its link number.
e.g. Decode Talker is Link-3

Step 2a: Send from your side of the field a number of monsters equal to the Link Number of the Link Monster you want to summon (also keep in mind that you must satisfy the monster material requirement on the Link Monster card)
e.g. Decode Talker is Link-3, so you must send 3 monsters to the graveyard. Specifically in Decode Talker's case, these all must be effect monsters, since it says so on the card.

Step 2b: (Alternative to Step 2a) If one of the monsters that you send to the graveryard for a Link Summon is itself a Link Monster, you can treat that monster as if it were X number of monsters for the purposes of the summon, where X is it's Link Number. (also keep in mind that you must satisfy the monster material requirement on the Link Monster card)
e.g. You send two monsters to the graveyard and summon a Link-2 monster. Now, instead of sending 3 monsters to the graveyard to summon a Link-3 monster, you can instead just send the Link-2 monster + one other monster. Specifically in the case of Decode Talker, these all must be effect monsters and you must use at least two Monsters since it says so on the card, so you can't just use 1 other Link-3 monster.

>>153582771
Yeah you lost credibility with this shit. This basically slowed down the game by giving an extra step and giving more enphasis on resource management wich means we are going to have cards that give you full fields easily.

>>153582771
>>153582876
just wait 3 years until the collapse the extra zone field into the main zone field

>>153582881
>Fundamental Field Change 2:
Doesn't this kill like every possible deck from recent years?

>>153582887
Yeah, my first impression was that links and the new monster rules are probably the best compromise Konami's going to come up with for slowing down ridiculous extra deck shenanigans.

Welp, time to buy Kozmo or Infernoid.

>>153582859
While this track is more powerful i prefer the other one.
It has a sense of something great starting but not necessarily dark.

how is yuya supposed to fuck the tyler sisters if he's back in his dimension doing another tournament arc?

should i watch 5d's or arc-v before vrains starts? i already watched 1 episode of 5d's and i like the darker atmosphere compared to gx

>>153582959
Using Link Monsters:

Once the Link Monster is summoned, look at the card picture frame. You will see 8 arrows, some number of which are lit up red (the number lit up red is equal to the monster's Link number). Field zones that are in contact with the red link marker arrows are said to be "linked" with that Link Monster. Monster Zones that are linked with a Link Monster become additional Zones that you are allowed to Extra Deck summon in.

If you have a Link Monster in the Extra Zone, and thus now have a Main Monster Zone linked to it where you can now Extra Deck summon, you could summon another Link Monster to the Main Monster Zone to extend the number of monster zones that are linked (i.e. if I summon a Link Monster to my Main Monster Zone that has left or right pointing red link markers, those adjacent zones become linked to that Link Monster and thus I can summon an Extra Deck monster there, even though the it isn't linked to the Link Monster in the Extra Zone). That is how you could still possibly fill the field with Extra Deck monsters even though a Link Monster could have at most 3 bottom links (which would make you think you can only have 3 Main Monster Zone Extra Deck monsters since the Link Monster in the Extra Zone could at most connect to 3 of your Main Monster Zones).

If a Link Monster you control has a red link marker that points to an opponent’s monster zone, it seems that the opponent is able to Extra Deck summon in that zone, so that is a negative if true. On the other hand, if your Link Monster has an effect that relies on having linked monsters, and your opponent has a monster in a zone linked to your Link Monster, you can benefit from that linkage (an example is Decode Talker, which gains 500 ATK for each linked monster. Since Decode Talker has a top-facing link marker, if your opponent has a monster in the zone ahead of Decode Talker, Decode Talker gains 500 ATK).

>>153582881
So only 1 player can have a Link monster up instead of both of them having their links up at the same time? Good god, that's slow

>>153582771
>YGO players react to skill being added to their game

>>153583050
I would watch in release order, so 5D's before Arc-V.

>>153583050
Watch 5Ds up to Episode 64. Then drop the show.
Watch Arc-V up to Episode 50. Then drop the show and write your own epilogue.

>>153582959
>Good luck if you ever wanted to bring out Zarc without zaborg gimmick
>oh wait, without a link even zaborg won't work

I may just as well go Vanguard if i want to sit on a boss monster

>>153583082
An Extra Deck Monster that is properly summoned and then goes to the graveyard can be revived into any main monster zone, even if that zone is not linked to any Link Monster.

Speculation: Maybe the reason Link Monsters can’t go into defense position (and thus were given no defense) is that changing battle position changes what zones the red link markers point to, and thus change what zones are linked. Konami perhaps wanted to avoid giving players that much flexibility in changing available zones.

>>153582887
>opens a plethora of new doors
and closes even more? The one thing yugioh had going for it was extra deck spam/first turn combos, and this really hurt that. If you want to play a slower less combo-centric game then play literally anything else. This single mechanic fucking destroyed multiple decks/types of decks, it is the epitome of konami pushing a new mechanic down our throats to make money. This is fucking worse than when they tried to push xyzs by banning all of the best syncro-related cards regardless of power level.

Also, if you think the game has gotten better with time you're either a casual or delusional. Comparing goat, TeleDAD, Dragon ruler, or Ravine ruler formats to anything we have now.

>>153583050
Watch 5D's up to 64.
Watch ARC-V up to 53, then skip to 126 - 127, then 132 - 135, then 140, or wait for the watch guide.

This sounds pretty nice, needing to sacrifice a good number of monster to bring out something powerful instead of the actual two level 4 monsters cancer.

>>153582668

After that, Zarc destroyed the Original Dimension, and later he was defeated, and the world was split into four dimensions, three of them containing residents from the one original dimension. This resulted in ARC-V.

I'd ask if this is some falseflagging nonsense, but /a/ is mostly bad players that barely understand the game. This shit happened with Xyz and Pendulum, too.

lol actually I innovate a lot. In one instance I was actually the first person to bring a particular deck archetype to a competitive event, people laughed at me then saw my success and refined the build and topped nationals with it.

I don't netdeck bro, people netdeck me.

And Yugioh is inherently at its best when you can do more combos/field swarm. It's the only game without any form of card restriction, so in a slow deck format you're objectively just way better off playing magic or hearthstone.

It's not even about otks. Dragon rulers would rarely otk other dragons, and that was the best format yugioh has ever had.

>>153583465
You forgot Death-T being canon.

>>153583450
They can still tribute your Susano, it just goes to your MD Zone instead. You CAN, however, avoid getting your ED monster Kaiju'd by having it in The EM Zone and filling your MD Zones up. They'll still be able to Slumber your ass (killing any Links you had), but they can't just casually Kaiju your ED monster anymore.

>>153583084
No, both of them can have Link Monsters in the their Extra Monster Zone. It is just that once you put a monster in a EM-Zone, you can't put one in the other zone - the other zone becomes reserved for the opponent.

>>153583465
I don't remember what almost half that list means but its my own damn fault for not having read the manga or watched the anime in so long. But either way I didnt realize those things changed the story so drastically.

>>153583532
That was covered under "EDGE".

>>153583226
Use the monster to summon two monsters from the deck to perform a XYZ or synchro summon, there are some good combos. I won't be able to use Ferret unless I already have a Link Monster creating new link zones to use.

>>153583440
Didn't watch them yet so i didn't know. It's a shame that they don't all share the same universe.

>>153583515
>He thinks D R A G O N S wasn't one of the most oppressive and restrictive metas we've ever had.
I'll admit that the format was one of the more skill-intensive formats we've had, but that's only because there were like, 2 ways to build that deck in its prime, so the game came down to luck and skill rather than deck construction and side techs (since you really only sided against non-D R A G O N S). This isn't okay. It's not okay to have formats where you play one deck or you fucking lose.

Also, "I'm so hot OTHER people copy ME" is probably the dumbest excuse for an argument I've ever heard in these threads. It's like appeal to authority but narcissistic and not even backed by anything. Without some proof of who you are and backing to your statement, it just makes you look like an ass and contributes nothing.

>>153583644
Really, it's much simpler that way. It's a mercy to not have to be chronologically connected to Arc-V's clusterfuck.

>>153583570
In terms of the end results, there aren't really particularly drastic changes I think.

Anything original YGO! non-card game stuff is forgotten by the end of the manga timeline anyway as far as I'm informed and the anime original arcs are self-contained stories that pick up characters and events (or, in Doma's case, themes as well) but don't have any lasting impact on the overall Egypt plot. They occasionally get referenced but that's it.

Kaiba not being there during the ceremonial duel should change his motivation a bit though. Apparently he didn't really get closure in the manga which lead to some rather obsessive actions in the movie whereas the anime fixed that by integrating him during the end game.

>>153583740
It should also be noted that while the original version of the DSOD movie is canon to the Manga, the dub version is specifically on record as being a continuation of the anime. Because of this, Kaiba's motivations change a bit, and they dial down him actually losing his marbles in favor of dialing up his butthurt over not getting a victory over Atem.

>>153583485
Excuse me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN1TkEw68Ks

>>153583808
>>153583740
In either universe this still makes Kaiba as my favorite

>>153583808
>dub version is out already
>still no sub version
This saddens me.

I'm admittedly also slightly disappointed there were no links to the anime as it's a manga continuation. Would have loved to see some Musketeers cameo like with KCGP.

>>153583728
But ZEXAL has to be connected to the other 3, otherwise its inhabitants wouldn't have an off-shoot dimension of their own.

>>153583476
No, look, this isn't yugioh anymore, it's too slow.
What I loved about the game more than anything else was the speed.

Back when pendulum came out I remember calling it complete garbage. And I was right back then too, because the only reason people played it were disgustinlgly degenerate decks, among them the most ridiculous deck ever made. I don't remeber XYZ but I thought it was essentially Synchro with limited-use effects.

Anyway, what makes this change so absolutely horrifying is the fact that links go into the Extra, because 15 slots is already too little. This means that new extra deck monsters will need to be much, much more powerful, because otherwise they're simply not worth running over even unoptimized main deck archetypes.

>But ZEXAL has to be connected to the other 3
Why? There were references in one filler-y episode, but otherwise there's no clear indication it's directly chronologically related to the original DM-GX-5D's anime timeline. Synchros never appeared at all unlike the other summoning methods, where Kaito used one of each besides synchro.

SO if a link card is in the monster zone and it links to it's left and right can you summon more ED monsters there or does the link card have to be in ED zone?

GISHIKI SHOKAN

Screencap this, Necloth will be back.

>>153584099
>SO if a link card is in the monster zone and it links to it's left and right can you summon more ED monsters there
That is correct. You can ED summon a monster there, even though that zone is not linked to the Link Monster that's in the ED-Zone.

>>153584013
>There were references in one filler-y episode
Still a reference, filler or not.

Plus, if it wasn't related in any way, then how do you explain their presence in one of the split dimensions? GX and 5D's were a part of the original dimension, why not ZEXAL?

This would be fine if Links went into the Main Deck and were searchable.
Like this the whole thing is a complete disaster.

Been out of the loop for a while. Are people just overreacting to a change and old strategies being nullified?

Post your petdecks that Link Monsters killed.

>>153584248
Both.

Pretty much anything that relies on Extra Deck has been gutted.

>>153583476
The game was already begging for more space in the Extra deck and now every deck that doesn't do everything in the main deck needs to bend over backwards and let Link fuck it in the ass.

You can't even make something as remedial as Shooting Star Dragon without a Link now.

>>153584278
>>Galaxy-Eyes
Is that deck only about summoning a galaxy-eyes and wrecking shit?

So are they trying for Zexal's shit style of summon one ED monster then sit on it?
RIP pretty much all Synchro decks. Konami finally murdered what was already weak.

>>153582869
At the end of GX they basically described the Numeron code and other minor plot-points in Zexal.

>>153584240
Are you talking about Arc-V's original dimension? Any of the dimensions in Arc-V are alternates of the one it's based off of, not the actual original. Otherwise all the legacy characters wouldn't have completely different backstories.

>>153584308
Shooting Star and every Delta/Accel is complete trash and NEEDED to be curbed. You shouldn't be playing these decks if they're your only wincon, and with Links you can play them just fine in decks where they're not.

I do agree that Links might leave the ED wanting for more space, though. I hope that they raise the ED count with this change.

>>153584316
It's about summoning loads of galaxy eyes and wrecking shit, also stealing XYZ with Cipher and overlaying them

Ideally you summon a Galaxy-Eyes plus Constellar Pleiades. You need to have multiple Xyz Monsters out.

But what people seem to forget about Quasar decks is that they're essentially Synchro Toolboxes.
Quasar takes one extra deck slot, it's not a vig deal, since everything you run to make him, you'd have as outs or utility anyway

I'd consider quitting if YGO wasn't such a huge part of my upbringing.

Reminder that Hungry Burger is now more viable than a lot of XYZ, Fusion and Synchro monsters.

>>153583476
The difference is that Xyz and Pendulum didn't literally restrict your ability to Synchro or Fusion. This isn't a matter of power creep, this is a matter of destroying the ability of countless decks to function on a basic level.

>>153584401
>Shooting Star and every Delta/Accel is complete trash and NEEDED to be curbed
They didn't, they where already shit so why make people who use them for fun make it even worse.
If you wanted to curb something, curb something that's actually retardedly strong.

>>153584401
Wasnt there a rumor that they would increase the extra deck or make a new one for the new monsters?

>>153584552
Basically yeah.
My earliest memory was buying YGO cards.
When i was super depressed like 3 years ago YGO cheered me up when they announced Red-eyes support.
It's been such a big part of my life that it feels cruel to let it go despite how much it changes.

>>153584524
In fact as a Synchrofag my main instinct when learning about Pendulum was "I can bring back my Synchro mats every turn?"

Then there wasn't a single halfway decent Synchro Pendulum archetype unless you count D/D/D.

>>153584596
(Not the guy you were talking to) I empathize, but let's see what happens. If the Link support is good, it might not slow the game down nearly as much as it first seems.

They really should raise the limit. The main issue with doing it before this was that decks that already had all the extra deck cards they needed would just get a retarded toolbox on top of it, but now we have a situaion were just about any deck NEEDS additional stuff in the extra deck.

No, that's too much of a rabbit hole and a stretch. Where are the MCs, then? Why are the locations so different even though dimension shenanigans leave even minor physical things, like Yuzu's room, untouched?

Only DM, GX, and 5D's have ever been confirmed to sit on the same timeline because of BBT.

None of them. Links either do nothing or help my decks.
>Charmers only make one Xyz at a time anyway, and with FP Lyna on the way there is absolutely no reason for me to not take my opponent's Links, fill my slots with ED cards, then sack them for an FP.
>Chaos Resonator Photon Synchrons can put Decode Talker on the board just fine, and the only casualty is that I'll have to pick between running Red Nova/Tyrant or Quasar/Blazar (assuming the ED isn't expanded), which is something I needed to do anyway since having both is just winmore.
>Normal Pendulums are hurt more by the Pendulum Zone changes than anything else, but assuming you can still Pendulum from face-up ED without needing an EM Zone, it'll be a non-issue.

>Lunalights really only sit on one monster at a time anyway.
>D/D/Ds already have multiple combos for doing whatever the fuck they want, and most of the time you'll just be reviving ED monsters anyway. The Pendulum Zone changes mean I only get to run 3 Contracts at once, which sucks, but them's the breaks.

>Monarchs don't use their ED at all.

>>153584741
Super Quantum, while incredibly slowed are not dead. Since Magnacarrier can use the Quantum Xyz monsters in your graveyard as well as your field to cheat out Magnus. You can also still fall back on the other strategy the deck uses. Using Alphan to swarm into Dark Doriado boosted beatdown

>>153584573
I have no idea why anyone would want Arc-V's versions of legacy characters to actually be the original character. That's a fictional fate worse than the fires of hell

What do the new Link rule changes mean for Gladiator Beasts?

>>153584729
No lie, I unrionically love this card and have it in my Gemini/Normal deck. Having a 2000 ATK monster attack it face down puts the biggest grin on my face.

>>153585044
Gyzarus is now the only Fusion you'll ever summon.

So not a significant change.

>>153584935
Onto your field, in a MD Zone.

I'm more worried about what happens if you already own one EM Zone and you Change of Heart/Charmer or something an opponent's monster in the other EM Zone. Is that just an illegal target, or what?

>>153585044
It means pretty much nothing, since GBs really only have out one fusion at a time. That fusion has to be summoned into a live EM Zone.

We don't know how atypical ED summons work. Stuff like Mask Change, Summons ignoring Nomi, and Pendulums from Face-Up in the ED are all a mystery.

>>153584709
If we get link cards that directly support Synchro it might stay on a life line, something that gives you 3 spaces for Extra deck and lets you fetch then link a level 1 would be pretty good.

>>153582339
Does this mean Rituals will be relevant again? Will they be even more relevant than Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz?

Why is everyone saying Synchros are now dead I don't get it?

If you need to summon a Synchro that requires a Synchro Tuner or a Synchro non-Tuner all you have to do is get 1 Synchro in your Extra Monster Zone and 1 non-Synchro in your Main Monster Zone and tune them to make a new Synchro that replaces its Synchro Material in the Extra Monster Zone.

>>153585261

>>153585261

>>153585364
Alot of Synchro decks relied on T.G Hyper librarian to not minus into oblivion.
Since you only have 1 slot unless you Link summon Not only is Accel Synchro unviable, but trying to swarm the field with multiple synchro's to try and build a board is impossible.
Synchro cards are rarely good on their own so they need addition cards to help them out, unlike alot of XYZ decks who can just XYZ then set 4 Synchro decks need to run alot of monster, then use those monsters to create monsters that protect the other monsters.

That "or two" is a pretty big problem. And having 3 Xyz birds isn't exactly uncommon either.

Isn't there like a infinite draw deck with Exodia by now that shits on all other decks?

>>153585364
Because Synchros typically require you to have Hyper Librarian out in order to maintain hand advantage. And that's on top of your other Synchro monsters.

Without that, you'll have to do some roundabout stuff with CotH/Soul Charge/Monster Reborn and similar cards, summoning your stuff from the ED and then reviving it.

Alternatively, you have to run Links, which can potentially cut into your ED space (and Synchro decks tend to be starved for ED space to begin with), which will be hard if they don't raise the ED Limit.

I wouldn't call them dead since their better cards are still viable, but they're definitely hurt the hardest by the changes.

There were a few ways to build dragons the first time around and a shitload of ways to build them (and decks that beat them) the second time around. The second d-ruler format was both one of the most skilled formats yugioh has ever had while being quite diverse. You're just a chump.

To the second part of your post, you attempted to insult me and call me a netdecker when that's just wrong. I can give you more details, but instead of asking you just wanna talk shit.

And you use appeal to authority incorrectly. The opinion of someone who is more knowledgeable on a subject than you are carrying more weight isnt a fallacy, it's common sense.

Without some proof of identity and evidence backing your claim, the argument of authority is meaningless. You don't have any authority to use in an argument.

>It's actually fairly easy to make 2 Leo Dancers in a single turn.
Doesn't mean I NEED to do it. We call that "Winmore".
>That "or two" is a pretty big problem.
I'm currently running under the assumption that any Link that isn't going to be easy to run over will either be non-generic or will give me slots.
>And having 3 Xyz birds isn't exactly uncommon either.
Yeah, I am a bit worried about that, but I may change my deck back to RR-Kaiju and just make it less Xyz-Centric, like in the old days.

It's impossible to sell it back for even half its value, and even then, it's just too troublesome to bother doing. I really do hate this game sometimes.

>>153586286
The game never forced you to buy cards. Or ask your parents to buy cards for you. It's called getting suckered into the marketing created to grab your money

I feel like people are overlooking one thing: Link monsters don't just unlock other zones, they have effects themselves. Summoning a Link monster isn't a hurdle you have to clear before you can start playing, it's already a part of your combo and is going to have a role in your final board. And since we all know that Konami will print some wonderful generic broken shit for the new mechanic, all you need to do is spread your asshole, buy blue hexagon cards and find the optimal way to merge them into your strategy. Most decks should be able to keep functioning, they'll just be played in a different (not necessarily weaker) way.

That's most of the petdecks that anyone played.

I think anyone who actually buys card has a right to complain. Konami aren't even trying to be subtle about the fact that they just want you to pay for new cards anymore.
However, as a filthy casual who only plays online, I absolutely love the new mechanic and can't wait for it to be implemented in one of the sims.

Hikokubo will adapt. He'll just replace Synchro/Xyz spam with Links spam, and he'll come up with a bunch of situational senet cards.

>The one thing yugioh had going for it was extra deck spam/first turn combos, and this really hurt that.

That shit was NEVER fun. Extra Deck Cancer killed Traditional Yu-Gi-Oh! It stopped being about developing strategies with monsters and became a glorified 2-player solitare.

>>153588618
As someone who exclusively plays online, i feel like this is the death of the game I love.

>>153588728
What strategy?
Make the biggest beater and hit over everything else while praying there's no raigeki coming?

>>153588721
It's happening, and you know that Konami will have no choice but to release some of them.

>>153588447
At least a few decks had interesting concepts other than SUMMON BOSS MONSTER QUICK. Thanks to that and the variety introduced to even this repetitive pattern by using different summoning methods, I've always found Arc-V duels very fun despite their flaws. They actually make me want to play the game, which is more than can be said for some other series.

>>153588447
One thing Arc-V really did well was show just how shitty the game had become. Even on episodes with no Pendlum Shilling there were crazy episodes like that. Notably Shuns debut duel where before he even goes first the LDS Trio takes the entire episode to summon out all their aces and then gets shitted on simply because the anime bent Rise Falcon's rulings slightly.

Literally this barely changes mine.
I do Zac deck with the manga odd eyes. And absolute dragon could potentially get me two non-linked extra deck monsters. Get meteor and vortex linked: overlay into absolute on one link. Negate attacks twice to summon the detached dragons to non linked zones cuz graveyard EDs can go anywhere. Gives me one free link space to fuck around with.
And if absolute were to be destroyed I could summon any "odd eyes" monster from my fugging extra deck. Still leaving me with one free space.

How fucked are the animators? How do you show the monster occupying the EM Zone to be in front of your other monsters? How do you let 9yos keep track of linked zones without constantly showing a game mat?

Arc-V is its own continuity.

At least he actually wears his uniform. Unlike a certain recent protagonist that only "wears" the jacket.

On the other hand. I can think of some combos with Rituals

>>153589153
What about Gaia? It only needs 2 monsters.

>>153589153
There's already a Link monster that works with any 2 monsters. They're planning to make these things generic as shit.

The cards were probably left behind after the duel. Since they were In Atem's possession for the Ceremonial Battle they probably forgot about them as the ruins collapsed at the end of the original Manga.

In GX I believe they mentioned that the God Cards are in the hands of either Industrial Illusions or KC. Although one employee managed to create a fake Ra as well as a Field Spell that somehow protected him from getting struck by lightning like Odion was.

>Where the hell did Obelisk come from though?

It's weird. I'm not exactly sure on the specifics but the sub explains it better. Basically the way Jou got saved by Atem because he remembered him is the same thing here. Atem helped Kaiba by giving him Obelisk because Kaiba remembered him. Then his duel disk took that and made the card real or something.

>>153588728
the only good pre-syncro format was goats, and even that was only good because of the cool strategy with metamorphasis bringing out powerful extra deck monsters.

Pretty much what >>153588767 said is true. Yugioh is an inherently flawed game because it has no mana/resource pool at all. A slower yugioh format would by definition be a worse version of magic/hearthstone because you're doing a lot of nothing until one person draws one of their overpowered cards that they can play at no expense/backside (one of the flaws of goat format), whereas in a heavy and consistent combo format there's skill in playing around handtraps, knowing when to commit fully/hold back, as well as playing around your knowledge of what your opponent can do.

If every deck can spam on the first turn then it isnt a problem.

>>153588447
You forget the part where Yuya can only compete because ACTION CARDS.
>>153589070
That tomb contained the memories of the Pharoah's final duel, wherein he used Obelisk. Kaiba, Obelisk's main user and one with a special connection to egyptian magic, was probably the only person who could've tapped into the God like that.

So classic Atem cheating. I guess it was the same for that Mahad card at the end, it wouldn't make much sense for a card like that to even exist.
