Premier Alexander Romanov Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I never really understood the purpose of Speed Spells. I mean, why does riding on a motorcycle cause you to use special Spell Cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ieyasu Tokugawa Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 It also lets them make Reborn unlimited in Turbo Duels because they gave it a rediculous Speed Counter cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yes, but why? Why do you think the creators of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's thought that special Spell Cards would be a good idea? They weren't marketable, since no one could play them, so that reason can be tossed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilfusion Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 It was just a new mechanic for Riding Duels. Instead of being able to use any Spell like you can in real life, they use a new category of Spell that can only be used in Riding Duels and rely on Speed Counters, which also seems to affect your ACTUAL speed while riding. In Season 1, there were several instances where losing Speed Counters caused the D-Wheel to slow down, and during a duel where Yusei was blocked from gaining Speed Counters, it was worrisome not just because of the disadvantage, but because then he wasn't going fast enough to beat his needed time to escape the pipeline. Also, Speed World 1 depleted Speed Counters if you took 1000+ damage. Speed Spells require more strategy or more defense, because taking too much damage meant you'll fall short of what you need.

CommanderVolt Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Spell Spells slow the game down. Having a lack of instant draw and search support makes the duel take longer and encourages the more strategic build of your main deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judedudemude Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 do you think they will put speed world and or speed world 2 and or other speed spells in the real trading card game ??? plus the video games ??? im not sure how that would work out though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Berserker- Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 They made speed spells just to have a reason to have turbo duels. Without them, TDs would be just regular duels, but in motorcycles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
