Yu-Gi-Oh!

How many of you guys play Yugioh?

I recently got into it and was looking for players on SMWC. I'd love to discuss the game and play against people on DevPro. At the moment, I have a Battlin' Boxer deck because it's cheap as shit, but I've been doing pretty badly at locals.

Bonus points if you can find out what card my avatar is.
I used to play a lot when I was in highschool, and I was active in YGO forums before joining SMWC. Nowadays, I still play sometimes, but not very often, so I'm not really updated about the current metagame or the newest the newest strategies. I have an account in Dueling Network, I play with Harpies and Gimmick Puppets over there.

Twin Long Rods #2. A very very useless monsters.
As my avatar might indicate (edit: not anymore!), I'm a pretty huge fan myself. I've been dicking around on DevPro a lot, and finally got around to building one of my favorite decks irl recently (raccoon/fableds). I don't play too competitively at all though, and so all my decks are gimmicky at best. The deck I have with the best win rate (hieratic gishkis) really isn't fun to play since people ragequit a lot.

Anyways, there's a channel for this on caffie, #yugioh. I'm fairly sure it's dead most of the time though.
I'm also a fan, but I only play it in "phases". I play it a lot for some time, then I don't play it at all for a long time, then I get back into it and play it a lot again for some time. I hate KONAMI for net making any good Yu-Gi-Oh! games, though. Even when they do, they mess them up in the west. They just recently released Duel Carnival in Europe, but they cut over 50% of its content out. They also just recently started a new online game, but that one is "meh" as well. If you want to play the game, you pretty much just have DevPro, which is great for its implementation of the card game itself and even is free, but doesn't have much else to offer. I kinda liked the official games with their stories, NPCs etc.

Anyways, I just yesterday spontaneously bought the newest starter deck of the TCG, Spacetime Showdown. I usually buy the first starter deck of each generation, just to give the new card types a try. Pendulum monsters seem pretty cool, but the starter deck only has two of them, which makes them a bit less useful (since you need both of them on the field to use pendulum summon first place). I also don't know if I could fit them in my current deck. I could at least give it a try. Still have to look more at each individual card from the starter deck, though.
Feel free to visit my website/blog - it's updated rarely, but it looks pretty cool!
As BB said, we have a channel for it, founded because a few of us (like 10?) got really into it, to the point of it being pretty much my
only passtime and playing/building many hours every day, but it's kinda died down for me and most of the others, every duel just became routine, you knew everything about every deck there was and either crushed or got crushed depending on which deck counters which with very little player input past making the best plays possible.
Contrary to BB I actually got pretty competitive -- as competitive as you can get over the internet -- which probably also is partially the reason why I started to play less and less, I get salty pretty easily over losing streaks.

Guess it just got boring is what I'm saying.


(as sort of a measurement, I stopped shortly after Qliphort Killer first hit devpro, unrelated to that fact though, never faced it in a duel, though I'm actually thinking about trying out spirit beasts and going back to ye olde fisticuffs since wolfbark is back)

I have to disagree with this. Maybe they haven't released any good ones recently, I had tons of fun with the GBA ones and still play WC09 sometimes.

On the topic of pendulum summoning, I thought they were pretty terrible at first, but some of the newer pendulum archetypes like Qliphorts are pretty cool. I've been having loads of fun with Hermit Youkais too, but they don't really rely or even use their pendulums very much.

Well, "recently" is what I was refering to. I know they made some good Yu-Gi-Oh! games in the past. I really love Nightmare Troubadour on the DS and even with some of the later games, based on 5D's, I still had some fun. However, remember how they made like five or six Yu-Gi-Oh! games for the Nintendo DS alone and gave all of these games at least a decent localisation? For the Nintendo 3DS, Duel Carnival was the only game they made. It took them forever to release it in Europe, and then what did they do? Cut out more than half of the game's content. Literally. The original game had 40 playable characters, the European version had 12 or 16 or something like that (at least less than 20). They even cut out whole game modes and, from what I remember, even endings or something like that. Of course they also removed all voice acting (because, rather have no voice acting than Japanese voice acting, right?). In short: They really, really fucked this one up. They added a whole TCG starter deck to the game, sure, but it's just the regular ZEXAL starter, which I already got a few years before, and it doesn't really make up for the missing content.

I've had some fun with World Championship 2004 on the GBA, but mostly because it's really easy lol. You just make a deck with a bunch of level 4 beaters and a good S/T line-up.

Anyways, if anyone wants to play me on DevPro, I'm FUGGNUTZ.
I really enjoyed the old Yu-Gi-Oh! online game, although it was way, way too expensive and it always took them years to implement the new card types. But I really loved that game's feel (the music, the 3D avatars, running around on the map in the older version, the weekly events, the NPCs etc.).

I was one of the small group of people who got really into it about half a year back along with leod/BB/derpy/medic/some others. Like them, I kind of lost interest for a while, but I think at this point it would be cool to start playing again and revive #yugioh.

Pat and it was more than a year ago that we started.
I know this because I was playing yugioh during Halloween 2013 instead of TF2 because I had no good pc.

I've been playing Yugioh on and off for 2 years now.
It's really fun and really stupid at the same time.
