No you are right.

I also have taken into account the possibility that it might be an actual new mechanic in the game rules rather than a new kind of card.

Of course, we for the most part still think there's a good chance that it'll be just another kind of card. It's an easy enough pattern that way, and I personally doubt they'll break the mold too easily.

 

Either way can potentially produce interesting results, but who knows....

'Entertainment Duelist... so can we expect no save the world shenanigans and have it turn out more like a sports anime... or even an idol anime?'

 

That'd be really cool. Although it would feel weird considering how out the box compared to the Yugioh formula it'd be.

I'm all in for experimenting though.

Thank you, I'll never see yuya in the same light.

 

being an sport/idol anime might be a nice change, but saving the world plot become the trend ever since. :S

Looking through the announcement I noticed this

 

"...The newest star, Yuya, is a 14-year-old boy learning to become an “entertainment duelist” at one of the many Preparatory Schools children attend to hone their skills and become professional duelists. Yuya duels using the Pendulum Summon, which provides access to many high-level monsters."

 

Having GX flashbacks from that line. I'm expected Pendulum Summoning to be at least partially inspired by Fusing monsters. Personally hoping he'll use Masked or Vision HERO's, but that isn't likely.

(This is not a clear explaination of how the mechanic works, please wait for further details to explain it.)
1. There are two new Pendulum Zones on the field
2. There are new Pendulum Monsters with "Scales" to the left and right of the card (the red and blue things)
You can place them in the Pendulum Zones, if you do they becomes Spells instead of monsters
differnet pendulum monsters have different scale numbers
3. Once you have 1 pendulum monster in each p zone, you can perform a pendulum summon
you take the numbers between the two scale numbers, in this case 1 and 8, so 2-7
4. In this turn you can now special summon any number of monsters from your hand 2-7 times
and you can only do this one time, so you can't summon something now, draw some, and then summon some more later
in the same turn
also when pendulum monsters die you can play them face-up in your extra deck
when you perform a pendulum summon you can summon 1 of them from your extra

I'd like to see a sports anime. Saving the world with cards has never been engaging, if Joey's subplots being more interesting than Yugi's quest to beat "evil jagoff #46577" wasn't evidence enough.

OH DEAR GOD IT'S A GODDAMNED MASS-SUMMONING MECHANIC?!?!?

 

Well, there goes the game balance.

 

"and now, I Pendulum Summon these 5 Level 8 monsters and overlay them for Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon and Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon! Activate Spell! Rank-Up Magic Barian's Force! Chaos Xyz Evolution! Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon, evolve to Number C107: NEO Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon!"

My thoughts exactly, it doesnt sound at all balanced.

summoning many monsters at a time has many risk, e.g. BTH

 

If you can get a Bottomless off in todays game, let alone the future game once Pendulum is a thing, then your opponent doing the Spamming likely has a defense.

 

I remind everyone in the thread that while you can Solemn a Jinzo, you can't Bottomless him successfully, that Jinzo is a Level 6, and that the first 2 Pendulum monsters are Scale 1 and Scale 8, meaning Jinzo can be in the spam.

 

 

My thoughts exactly, it doesnt sound at all balanced.

 

Is mass-summoning not the entire reason they banned RftDD? These spammed monsters better have MAJOR restraints slapped on, or we're looking at:

Flip Ryko ->kill opponent's only Defense card

Pendulum Spam 8000+ damage -> attack
