Xand Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Well there is. And all the events and characters are completely different though. It bears no relation (apart from design) to the anime. Sounds like it might be a good read...might look into it later when i'm not on ycm or grand chase! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I've read the summaries, and the duels, although repetitive, are actually quite interesting. And the slew of new cards is a good thing. Also, my order from the States arrived today(!)

Oh they should bring back the old series as well ive only read the first four books on them and cant find the rest at the local library. Also wats ur take on duel disks (since they still make them like a piece of ****) heres mine: ...my friend bought the new yusei duel discs and they dont hold ur cards in like the original ones did. That and they still have the spell and trap card zones in the wrong place and you can easily tell wat the spell or trap is by looking right under board itself...great job to the lazy people making the duel discs to earn a quick dollar or two...(irony is they cost 40-60$ and there only worth maybe 10-20).

Max Darkness Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Awesomeness! Indeed it is. $500 worth of cards bought for $50. I'm very happy. Oh they should bring back the old series as well ive only read the first four books on them and cant find the rest at the local library. The first anime follows the manga pretty closely. It's GX and 5Ds where the major changes begin.

They only work in a world with holograms. And since we don't have holograms, they're redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya but gx bored me as for 5d's its ok (by the way when sychros first came out i didn't like them and now i use them to stay alive). Know any sites where you can just read manga online for free? Agreed, Redundant they are...but still they could have at least not made them so crappy...Sadly i dont think ppl even research wat there making they just make it and thats that. I know that a three year old could have made a better duel disc...(not literally but u get my drift). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexadin Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I've found I really like the 5Ds manga in some places (mainly because Yusei loses in this version of events) and Jack is a total dick. And the fact that Jack's trump card can be his own downfall. And Yusei doesn't use "Stardust". Hence why "Gladiator Beasts" become even more powerful in that universe... Oh Max, you and your Glads. @ Lex/Ursus: [spoiler=The Second Order]Alchemist of Black Spells (Ultimate Rare)Ally of Justice Cyclone Creator (Secret Rare)Angel 07 (Secret Rare)Armoroid (Super Rare)Beast Striker (Super Rare)Covering Fire (Ultimate Rare)Cyber Esper (Super Rare)Dangerous Machine Type-6 (Ultra Rare)Doom Shaman (Super Rare)Dragonic Guard (Super Rare)DUCKER Mobile Cannon (Super Rare)Evolution Burst (Secret Rare)Fiendish Engine Omega (Secret Rare)Flint (Ultimate Rare)Gaia Soul, the Combustable Collective (Ultimate Rare)Goblin Out of the Frying Pan (Ultimate Rare)Goka, the Pyre of Malice (Super Rare)Ido the Supreme Magical Force (Secret Rare)Invader of Darkness (Secret Rare)Iron Core Specimen Lab (Super Rare)Jester Confit (Super Rare)Koa'ki Meiru Ghoulungulate (Ultimate Rare)Koa'ki Meiru War Arms (Super Rare)Legacy of Yata-Garasu (Secret Rare)Lifeforce Harmonizer (Ultra Rare)Lucky Pied Piper (Super Rare)Machine Lord Ur (Secret Rare)Mischief of the Yokai (Ultimate Rare)Multiple Piece Golem (Ultimate Rare)Necklace of Command (Ultimate Rare)Nimble Sunfish (Super Rare)Ogre of the Scarlet Sorrow (Super Rare)Orca Mega-Fortress of Darkness (Super Rare)Power Frame (Super Rare)Rai-Jin (Super Rare)Rai-Mei (Super Rare)R-Genex Accelerator (Super Rare)Scanner (Super Rare)Shock Troops of the Ice Barrier (Super Rare)Sinister Sprocket (Super Rare)Super Rush Recklessly (Super Rare)Synchro Control (Super Rare)Tempest Magician (Super Rare)Treasure Map (Secret Rare)Tuner's Scheme (Super Rare)Turbo Cannon (Super Rare)Twin-Barrel Dragon (Super Rare)Vindikite R-Genex (Secret Rare)Witch of the Black Rose (Ultra Rare)Worm Victory (Secret Rare)Worm Zero (Secret Rare)X-Saber Urbellum (Secret Rare) Impressive list.

Max Darkness Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Oh Max, you and your Glads. I like things that blow other things up. I'm a chemist. Meh, I might as well write fan-fic. The way this is written makes 'fan-fic' seem like a substance... @ Ursus: Overall, what did you think of "GS: Dark Dawn"? I was underwhelmed. @ Lex/Ursus: I bought the lot for £30 (€45 I think) when Greylight values it at £330 (just over €470)! Again, I feel like I've cheated someone/something... Also, could either of you make non-Synchro-containing Decks based around your favorite archetypes? The only condition is that it must contain at least two of the following cards: "Intercept Wave", "Synchro Ejection", "Tuner's Scheme", "Mischief of the Yokai" and/or "Synchro Control". (These are not supposed to form a Synchro Lock-Down, more manipulation.) As in: "I-""I activate 'Mischief of the Yokai'. With the reduction in Levels, you can no longer Synchro Summon what you wanted to.""Gah!" Next turn: "I activate 'Monster Reborn', bringing back what I need! Att-""I activate 'Synchro Ejection', removing your monster from play.""Gah!!" Next next turn: "I Synchro Summon my ultimate monster! Quake in fear!""I activate 'Tuner's Scheme', taking control of it.""Gah!!!" So far, I have Anti-Synch "Glads" and Anti-Synch "Monarchs". (Basically my normal Decks; but now with 80% more Anti-Synchro!) Finally, what would you give as a common effect to a series of seven Level 8 DARK Dragon-Type Synchro monsters, based on the demons of hell?

Lord Ursus Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I quite liked the game. As for the dragons, perhaps effects that cancel out unique parts of the game? (Such as drawing outside the Draw Phase, setting cards...etc) then, an effect that switches the Dragons at each End Phase? That would require you to plan your turns, lock-down checks and overall game-plan a whole lot better, meaning that even though they may be OP, they would actually be good for the game.

It seems ur not puting in the possibility that your sychro user isn't really any good then?Cause a smart way to get rid of those actions would be to have something to negate and destroy those Traps?/Spells? or chain something to negate ur effects...Assuming Sychro Ejection is a trap my Trap Stun would easily fix that problem...as for Tuner's Scheme them owners seal would fix that up nicely...

Max Darkness Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I quite liked the game. The sequel will probably increase my enjoyment of the first game, since it will explain a lot more. As for the dragons, perhaps effects that cancel out unique parts of the game? (Such as drawing outside the Draw Phase, setting cards...etc) then, an effect that switches the Dragons at each End Phase? That would require you to plan your turns, lock-down checks and overall game-plan a whole lot better, meaning that even though they may be OP, they would actually be good for the game. That's an interesting thought. I might change the switching effect, since I want only one to be held by each person.

All the characters in the YGO anime and manga are terrible duelists. Their Decks are badly built and rely heavily on unlikely combinations. They also run no negation effects. So everything is fine. And no-one running a Synchro Deck will run "Owner's Seal", so again, everything is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally, what would you give as a common effect to a series of seven Level 8 DARK Dragon-Type Synchro monsters, based on the demons of hell? Well that would depend, if they would have too have an effect incommen, then I'd suggest something with burning. But if not, then something based on the orignal's role in Hell.

Max Darkness Posted March 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Now im unsure of wat ur talking about...weren't you talking bout a duel senario as in the reality game? or some video game? @^@ In the anime and manga, all the main characters run very badly built Decks if compared to Decks built by real people. For example, Yusei's Deck runs no staples, nor any destruction effects. "Stardust Dragon" seems to be his only negation effect. Jack's Deck relies purely on "Red Dragon Archfiend", so if that's destroyed and he has no revival effects, he loses. Aki's Deck is a mess of Plant-Type cards, but with none of the Plant staples. Leo's Deck is a hazard, with only a few useful cards. In the manga, Yusei's Deck is better, since it swarms a lot more but again anything that manipulates Synchro Summoning will stop him. Jack's trump card "Dark Highlander" can be his own downfall. Hence why a lot of staples and archetypes can easily overwhelm them. Hello everyone, anyone mind summing up the events of the past few days. A large order from the States for me has arrived. i dont quite follow, but i think Max shows his card collection :) It's a selection of cards that I ordered in from the States. Mhh, well then the Aliens automaticly fall out. However, my Worms will probebly manage too do so. Just give me a little while. Excellent. (The other three I have are "Glad Beasts", "Monarchs" and "Batterymen") Well that would depend, if they would have too have an effect incommen, then I'd suggest something with burning. But if not, then something based on the orignal's role in Hell. Hm. They'll all have an individual effect along with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
